BAGEL BARN CAFE AND DELI – Restaurant

Bagel Barn Cafe & Deli opens at six on North Ridgewood Avenue in Edgewater and shuts at two, which tells you exactly who it is built for: the early crowd. Bagels are baked fresh and the classic lox with whipped cream cheese is the benchmark order, though the kitchen ranges wider than that, with bagel breakfast sandwiches, a crispy Cuban, a bagel burger with bacon, hoagies and wraps, Cobb, Greek and spinach-and-fruit salads, and oversized cupcakes on the counter. Dine in, call ahead to skip the line, or order delivery. Catering trays are available to order. Small-town breakfast, handled properly.
