The Take

Kiva's Bagel Bakery & Restaurant earns a 38 Slop Score. The hand-rolled everything bagel with cream cheese and lox is the only move that delivers.

Everything else on the menu pulls it toward standard bakery spreads and processed add-ons that scream chain compromise.

The Verdict

The bagels keep this place from total goyslop territory. Everything past the counter is just filler that signals basic bakery cope.

Order the toasted everything bagel with cream cheese and lox if available and leave. Slop Score: 38.
