Crema's Take

This beloved bagel spot has built a devoted following on the strength of genuinely warm staff and reliable execution, whether you're grabbing an everything bagel with cream cheese on a weekend or discovering their impressive range of schmear and bagel pairings. The quick-moving line and family-friendly vibe make it ideal for meeting friends or fueling up near the convention center, and they've thoughtfully expanded their menu to include gluten-free options that actually live up to the hype.

What to expect
