Customer Reviews
I was at the Goodwill next door, and saw this place. I know bagels from back east are revered, so thought I would try to see if I could notice any difference. I really didn't. I ordered a sesame toasted with a side of cream cheese and a coffee (yes, very hot day in PHX, but I always like my breakfast foods with a hot black coffee). The place was cool enough. Very cozy inside, tables needed attention but I found a counter. I've decided a bagel is a bagel - I honestly haven't found one that is just all that much better than another. Service was friendly, the gals behind the counter handled my small order well enough. I may pop in the next time I'm at Goodwill again. The coffee was pretty decent!
Wow! Absolutely loved this! I got the an everything bagel with bacon, egg and cheese and it was phenomenal. I will definitely be back.
Huge variety of bagels. Great customer service and reasonable prices. Will definitely be coming back.
Back East Bagels 1628 E Southern Ave #2, Tempe, AZ 85282 Back East Bagels 1628 E Southern Ave #2, Tempe, AZ 85282 I recently visited Back East Bagels, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing, primarily due to the customer service. While the bagels themselves have a good reputation, my interaction with the staff left much to be desired. I found the service to be slow and unhelpful, which detracted from the overall experience. It’s frustrating when you’re excited to try a new place, but the service doesn’t match the quality of the food. This visit will likely be my first and last at this bagel restaurant, as I value good customer service just as much as I do quality food.
I drive by this place often, it used to be SO BUSY and I’ve always wanted to try it, but haven’t had a chance! Today when I drove by, there were absolutely no cars in the parking lot, I decided it’s time! I ordered orange juice and a bagel sandwich, when asking simple questions, the staff was snappy. When I asked for my orange juice, I was told it was “over there.” There wasn’t an orange juice on any of the tables or where she pointed, when I asked again she gave me the orange juice, that she had just poured in front of her, and seemed annoyed. The sandwich smelled amazing but when I took a bite of the sandwich, it was complete mush inside and lacked flavor. I ordered another one, but when receiving the sandwich, I received more attitude that I need to order it “well done” so it isn’t sogg
