Shop Highlights: Bagels baked fresh throughout the day, full sandwich menu

Total Package Review: Ess-a-Bagel is one of the heavy hitters in NYC. And this location delivered a fresh bagel at 3:20pm. The bagel had proper crust and chew and ample seed coating. Hand rolled and boiled. The egg was microwaved and they didn't have too many spreads. I felt a lack of passion from the employees. 

Total Package Score: 7 / 10

Bagel Score: 8 / 10

Shop Ambiance: This Ess-a-Bagel location was decorated in a hip and trendy fashion with light and airy vibes. Located a couple doors down from 6th Ave it had a slightly slower paced vibe than the storefronts on 6th. Slightly more corporate feeling than their 3rd Ave location.

Personal History with Shop: I visited this shop by myself in 2023.

Ownership: Regional Chain Small Business (5 locations)
