Fast Food Club reports that at 2788 Bagels, the successor to the long-running Absolute Bagels at the same Upper West Side spot, 'regulars show up early because the sesame and poppy varieties sell out fast,' making early arrival part of the shop's routine rather than an occasional inconvenience.
The shop draws UWS bagel-crawl crowds according to Fast Food Club, though the guide does not quantify wait times or peak crowd size, so the demand signal here is about sell-out timing rather than a documented line out the door.
