Crema's Take
“Henry Higgins makes the kind of bagels that justify Sunday morning rituals—crispy exteriors, proper chew, and inventive cream cheese flavors like honey almond that elevate even a simple spread into something crave-worthy. The Reuben on pumpernickel and smoked salmon sandwiches are the real draws here, backed by genuinely friendly staff who make regulars feel like part of the routine. This is a low-key neighborhood spot where families linger over the crossword and people actually want to stick around, not just grab and go.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

The best bagels in the city! Great sandwich options, a variety of flavors, and great cream cheese flavors. The honey almond cream cheese is to die for. The bagels themselves are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The only bagels I’ll eat after moving from New York.
I LOVED the Ruben sandwich on pumpernickel bagel with a side pickle, chips and I added a cookie. It was all delicious. The people working here are also so friendly. Made my afternoon a little bit wonderful. Thank you!
It’s the bagel that makes the sandwich, and these are great bagels. The service is efficient and friendly. The open face sandwich with chunk smoked salmon, cream cheese, etc is wonderful. We usually share one between ourselves. Seating is usually available inside or outside, or…
Didn't realize they had parking, so parked a block away. Bagel was OK, cream cheese was fairly melted as I ate it so went everywhere. Got an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and a coffee. Service was fantastic and they even did some top notch origami on my bagel wrapper.
