Couldn't decide between "everything cream cheese" and "fried egg + hot sauce", so of course I did not hesitate when presented with the option that gives you both.

I thought I'd get the sage cream cheese they slather on their berry compote toast, but my oh my, this was something else — generously studded with chopped garlic and sesame seeds (thought I tasted sautéed shallots too). 😋

I've never had bialy before and I expected it to be bagel-like, but it's less dense and more moist with a lovely fermented tang. Combine that with a sunny side up, Sriracha and that schmear of cream cheese and I'm sold! Do try it if it's available.
