Beef & Pickles bagel

Pretty standard combo, but they did a pretty good job with it. The bagel was toasted until super crunchy, with the cheese nicely melted. Not overly saucy, which was a win. As someone who usually prefers more bread than meat, I’d say a bit more pastrami wouldn’t have been a bad thing this time.

I also tried their matcha latte on tap, which they’re known for, especially the viral strawberry matcha that everyone seems to be crazy about. I skipped the strawberry — I’m more of a plain boy. When I opened the tap, it looked really light, and I was worried it might be watery, but it turned out better than I expected. Still, I’m on the fence about matcha on tap. Freshly whisked will always take the win for me.

Overall, a crunchy bagel and a fun matcha experience. Worth checking out if you’re nearby, especially if you’re curious about the whole matcha-on-tap thing.
