text: Not impressed I have been eating at Poppy Seed bagels for about a month now It is right down the road from my job so it was a convenient alternative to the Independence Fast Food choices nNow being a Southerner I have never had the chance to experience bagels Lox but decided that this place might be a good starting point After all they taught themselves as being an authentic NY Style Bagel shop What I got was opposite of what I was expecting Their menu pics would have you believe that you would be enjoying a delicious bagel with cream cheesecapers and thin slices of smoked salmon What I received was about cup of cream cheese with what seemed like chopped pieces of salmon mixed in with it Cannot say it tasted like anything more than a fishy cream cheese bagel The actual bagel was not anything to write home about either I have gotten the same or better at my local grocers bakery nI decided not to ban them after this one failed outing and gave them a second try I had a plain bagel with their Scallion cream cheese It was again cup of cream cheese with a few diced pieces of the actual scallion I honestly could not even tell that it was there T nThe next meal was one of their sandwiches I tried the Harmony Turkey sandwich on a plain bagel The fact that they use Boars Head meat is a plus and honestly made the sandwich The bagel was tough and the wimpy shredded pieces of Iceberg lettuce were a let down nNeedless to say I will not be going back here for the bagels which is sad because that is what they are supposed to be specializing in nThe decor is cute and homely They have a good selection of kettle chips and desserts at the counter nHowever I will stick to McDonalds bagels with eggcheese and bacon for a quick onthego breakfast It is actually much better
