They're not humongous like an Einstein bagel, they're not too small like a Lenders bagel. They're just right. I don't know how they're made but I don't think the water contains any sweetener. They're soft and ever-so-slightly chewy on the inside, crisp but not hard outside.

They're allowed to be consumed with butter or cream cheese along with scallions, onions and/or smoked fish. And don't forget: Toasting a bagel is a crime.
