Whole Life Earth Cafe

Critic's Review

Now Closed, proving that you can't put lipstick on a pig.

Brooklyn Water Bagel Express wasn't working out, so they slapped a new sign up and now call themselves Whole Life Earth Cafe. Same Ownership as Before. They were even getting their delivery from BWB in the photo.

The Interior got a big of a facelift:

Review 9/15/16

I had to go to the citibank branch, so why not grab a bagel on my way home?

I didn't need to taste their coffee, so I just ordered a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese. This place looks like a Dunkin Donut. I think they probably get the bagels from the main location by the courthouse.

There was a guy with luggage waiting impatiently (maybe he needed to catch a flight?); it took longer than you'd expect to toast and smear a bagel. They had music I wouldn't expect in a bagel place with all young minority workers; Chicago, Don Henley and The Police; better than some of the newer stuff.

They have some seating that didn't look too comfortable. Fancy creamers and a fancy soda machine to go with the old diner style sugar shaker.

Finally it was ready. It was still warm when I opened it at home.

This bagel wasn't as good as the one I'd gotten by the courthouse. The outer crust wasn't crispy and the inside was a bit different also. Not a bad bagel, but not worth going out of my way for either. $3.10 for a bagel with cream cheese.
