Like black holes, bagels are dense, round, and were originally invented to transport poppy seeds. Ponder the physics of cream cheese with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get one dozen bagels or bagel flats, a half pound of plain cream cheese, and a half pound of your choice of flavored cream cheese at The Bagel Club (up to a $21 value). This Groupon is valid at both of The Bagel Club's locations in Bayside.

The Bagel Club constructs circles of boiled-batter delights for bagel believers. In addition to the classic bagel, carb curtailers can load their buckets up with a dozen bagel flats for slicing open and slathering with spreads. More than 10 flavors of cream cheese provide options for all, including savory lox, sweet strawberry, and the double-identity spinach and garlic for those who won't be bound by one type of bite. It's suggested to call ahead for your order and be prepared to pay cash only.
