The downtown location really went down hill when that cat stopped overseeing the operation. Once the cat left the quality control all but disappeared.

iirc that cat's name was Cookie and the city made them remove it. Like the one thing they choose to enforce

Bodega cats automatically make any store better, can't believe they would do that to Wonder Bagel.

This is the part that is maddening. It used to be good! At some point ~5ish years ago the quality at the downtown location went all the way downhill.

All I can say is that ever since Cookie moved in with us almost 6 years ago we have never seen a bug or rodent in our kitchen. Perhaps it’s a coincidence but she may have had other duties other than sleeping on the counters at the bagel store.

Wonder bagel was never good. Ever. Even when there was no line, the only reason to go was they used coffee ice cubes for their iced coffee. If you were also hungry, you got a dough ball.

Second the coffee cubes! But the Sip Ave location is by far the best. They always have the "better" egg bagels on the weekends. You simply have to call ahead about 10 minutes and just pick up.
