I went again today. Got the ginger bagel with citrus hoisin spread and a side of pickled veggies. It was amazing. I didn't think the bagel was dry at all.

I agree. While the prices are decent, the quality of the bagels leaves much to be desired. Extremely dry and stale tasting. Did I mention dry?

Not too shy to talk

Went there this morning. Free coffee was pretty good. The bagel was on par with what the place on Grand St was selling. It seemed a bit stale. Prices were good. People were friendly, I told the cashier they needed to put out a tip jar, and she looked at me like I had three heads.
I peaked into the back and didn't see a bagel boiler machine, but they could be like H&H and deliver from the main bakery. I don't like the name. Wonder Bagel doesn't need to worry.

They were handing out a coupon for a free small coffee with any purchase.
The bagel place went up pretty quickly

I realize it is a chain, but part of my soul died when I saw that the store's name is New York Bagel Cafe. And whole grain rosemary-thyme bagel with sundried tomato artichoke hummus? And a Kona with rice milk? Whatever happened to a poppy seed bagel with a schmear and a cup of coffee? What is this world coming to?
However, to step back a bit, I am all for fierce competition in the bagel realm.  I am glad they are open, and I can't wait to try this place and give my verdict. I probably won't be ordering an oat-apple-mint bagel with Nutella and cr?me fra?che, I'll probably stick to the regular. . . .

I was positive this was going to be a soulless corporate experience (the URL is just the store number?), but Jesus, I was wrong. The Kona with rice milk was unbelievable. Best coffee I've ever had outside of Switzerland. The whole grain rosemary-thyme bagel with sundried tomota artichoke hummus was delicious. I might just go here every day, forever.
