It's a tough business when you're doing both HIGH volume and QUALITY. The two are tough to reconcile, but they try their best.<br /><br />It's still the best bagel store for the volume of customers they do in NYC. They could pre-make things to make the line go even faster, but then it wouldn't be Tompkins Square Bagels anymore; it'd be Starbucks Bagels. <br /><br />I for one welcome the new bagel store. It's only going to benefit customers and the neighborhood to have more competition, but I don't think the Tompkins Square Bagels product and the Black Seed product are the same, and there is room for every type of want in this neighborhood! <br /><br />And lastly, with Tompkins Square Bagels opening a 2nd location, there are now even more choices for residents, and this is a good thing! <br /><br />Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395915435209482109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-76770409195611021872015-09-09T11:58:43.278-04:002015-09-09T11:58:43.278-04:00@DrGecko.

However, I'm not a rocket scientist, but I have toasted many bagels, therefore I must conclude that toasting a bagel is not rocket science. But don't tell that to the geniuses who think bagels should never be toasted, because rocket science would probably seem much simpler to them than actually toasting a bagel.Giovannihttp://urbanmyths.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-25349579216001274782015-09-09T10:36:00.100-04:002015-09-09T10:36:00.100-04:00i dont goto TSB anymore. i ordered one of their sa...i dont goto TSB anymore. i ordered one of their sammiches, and asked for a different type of cheese, and the girl literally rolled her eyes and said: "really?" and made a huge deal like a was a jerk for wanting cheddar instead of american cheese. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-72492136561583021882015-09-09T10:05:47.131-04:002015-09-09T10:05:47.131-04:00@ Giovanni - How do you know toasting bagels is no...@ Giovanni - How do you know toasting bagels is not rocket science?

This is not rocket science. You slice the bagel, you throw it in the toaster, and then you toast it. I never had a problem with TSB toasting a bagel. Just order it like you mean it and they won't give you any BS about toasting. For years Ess-a-Bagel and Murray's refused to toast and they got very rude with any customer who dared to ask for toasting, which must happen a few dozen of times a day. After years of arguing about bagel purity and then losing all those customers who want a toasted bagel, the Schmear Patrol at Murray's finally reversed their policy this summer and now, begrudgingly, toasts bagels. But who wants to order a toasted bagel from someone who has that "You don't really want to order that, do you?" kind of attitude? As for Ess-a-Bagel, they never learned how to toast, and now they're gone. Tal Bagels will soon be opening up shop in their old space on 1st Ave. Guess what? Tal toasts bagels without giving you any gratuitous New York attitude. All they give you is a nice warm toasted bagel, which is all we wanted in the first place.Giovannihttp://urbanmyths.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-79106343959233196042015-09-08T21:10:56.160-04:002015-09-08T21:10:56.160-04:00BS gladly toasts those bagels because they know th...BS gladly toasts those bagels because they know they're sub par.
