Best Bagel and Cream Cheese
An offshoot of Bakery Four, Rich Spirit opened in Gold’s Marketplace last year. Owner Shawn Bergin is a pastry perfectionist, and he brings that same level of attention to his naturally leavened bagels, which get a sweet note from dark malt. The result is a light, airy and chewy interior with a crisp exterior bite. The shop doesn’t offer additions like eggs or bacon, but if it’s a bagel with cream cheese (or fancy Isigny butter) you crave, you can do no better.
