Customer Reviews
Very disappointed with this branch. I was expecting fresh, tasty bagels based on my experience with the Lakeview branch, but that is not what I got. I ordered a blueberry bagel with plain cream cheese and a plain herb bagel. I was given cream cheese on both, which is not what I requested (and they were stingy with the cream cheese). They also toasted without asking, which makes the bagel not travel as well, and the edges also got slightly burned. Toasting is nice, but also a cover for staleness - I can toast grocery store bagels and get a similar texture to what I was given today. The worst thing was that my blueberry bagel tasted plain, and the cream cheese tasted slightly of onion. So I basically ate an onion bagel instead of a blueberry one. I will not be back.
Great bagel shop to grab breakfast and a coffee to start your day. With the usual selection of bagels, you can't go wrong a simple one with cheese or one as a sandwich with beacon and eggs. They had a good selection of coffee for those who need an extra wake-up jolt. The staff was help and great with kids. Great morning, stop to start your day.
Service was great. Food was amazing. We came for breakfast. My issue is when I ordered a bagel for $3 with the cream cheese on the side it was an additional $2.25 and butter on the side was another $1.25. That is freaking crazy.
Was charged almost $8 for a cinnamon crunch bagel with cream cheese. Yes, you read that correctly. Panera down the street is half of that, and a better bagel. I try to support locally owned franchises when I can, but $8 for a bagel that's worse than Panera is robbery. Never again.
I ordered a turkey club panini (a little over $7 and for the price, I was a bit disappointed at how small it was. However, I also ordered a chopped salad and that made up for the sandwich. *Update 6/21/21 - ordered an Italian Trio on Asiago and a (toasted) Cheddar Herb Bagel. The sandwich was good (would order again) and my daughter enjoyed her bagel. The restaurant and it's bathroom is ALWAYS clean and the customer service here is ALWAYS GREAT. They offer a variety of bagels and cream cheese options. The coffee station is self serve and it also offers a variety of options on coffee and they offer tamales on weekends.
