Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shoppe - 4.5/5
Award: Best in Borough - Brooklyn
Store
A line 20+ deep on a Saturday afternoon. The interior aesthetics are a well-handled blend of classic elements not typically seen in a bagel store setting (tin ceiling, chandelier, apartment lobby tiling, exposed brick), thereby passing through the other side of classic to contemporary. Modern pop plays over the radio. Good drink selection, nice shelving layout for store flow. The hand written ticket order system is a nice touch of character. Bagel hoppers are prominently perched to show quality and availability. An abundant display of spreads and fish salads. A bit paint by numbers in the pastry department...
