The bagel shop in University Village that refuses to slice, toast, or schmear anything, full stop. The chef rolls and bakes throughout the day, so there's almost always something warm coming out, crackly on the outside and just chewy enough inside. Cream cheese arrives on the side for ripping and dipping. If you want a sandwich, three other bagel spots are nearby, and Hey Bagel seems fine letting you go find one.
