What it means for a café
The most substantial thing many cafés sell, which changes the visit: a bagel is lunch rather than an accompaniment, so it raises the average spend and lengthens how long the table is occupied.
This page describes bagel in general. It is not a description of any particular chain’s recipe, and the photograph is not of any named company’s product.
