The entire reason they give you a tub of cream cheese, is that you're supposed to break off pieces of the bagel with your hand and dip it into the cream cheese. It's amazing if you eat it that way. I can understand why you weren't quite a fan if you actually took the time to cut the bagels and spread cream cheese on them like a regular bagel. In that case you might as well go to a regular bagel place. Popup bagels are made for dipping, it's the entire point.

Hey Jared, thanks for the comment. I'm defintely aware that they want people to dip the bagels in the cream cheese. I'm not sure that would do much to change the cakey interior of the bagel and mediocre schmear quality, but I'll be sure to try it that way next time I'm in town.

You’re way too kind. They lost me at a soft interior. No self-respecting bagel is mushy that way. These are rolls with holes and a side of drama to go. Phooey
