The moment you enter our shop to pick up your order, the smell of freshly baked bagels hits you first — warm, yeasty dough mingled with toasted toppings. You look inside the still-warm paper bag that's filled to the brim with your order.  The bagels' crusts are golden and blistered, crackling slightly when squeezed. You hustle back to your car, placing the bagels on the passenger seat, and hurry home so that you can dig in as quickly as possible. But you already know you won't wait until you get home; that smell is irresistible. You reach into the bag, grab the nearest bagel, and take a big bite. The outside is crispy and chewy, with that telltale bagel "pull." And inside? You’ve got pillowy, tender dough, slightly sweet, dense but never heavy. You're thinking, this is bagel heaven. And for a second, everything is exactly right.
