I came here for breakfast 3 times and each time we were greeted with a beautifully smiling employee who was patient and helpful. I got the breakfast golden scramble with sausage and cream cheese. It was not just a hardy meal, but there was a lot of deliciousness in every bite. I love this place!

Great service, I phoned my order in and it was ready in time. I purchased approximately two dozen bagels with all the condiments and extras. Prices are reasonable and the bagels were a big hit at the office. Thanks again.

The lady at the register was pretty aggressive for customer service but it didnt take away from the food being delicious. The bagels are great and they have a lot of variety. Favorite bagels are the spinach and jalapeno!

Great atmosphere. Nice staff. Super yummy food. Love the smoothies. Im weird about textures and the smoothies are good. I opted for simple chocolate chip bagel and jalapeño cream cheese, but I saw people get some bad ass bagel breakfast sandwiches.Next time...

The salads are fantastic. The staff is friendly, and the place is clean. I recommend the balsamic chicken salad, substitute the dressing for the raspberry vinaigrette.

Just had the Baja Roast beef foccacia and it was very good, loaded with fresh ingredients and portions are big. Also tried their smoothie the Jamaican dream which was on the sweet side but I love the consistency. Would recommend.

They make a wide variety of different flavored bagels both savory and sweet. I been there late morning early afternoon snd they have been sold out of their bagels. Plan on.arriving early for best selection. I always order the lox and bagel open faced sandwich. Tasty and delicious😘

Review №21

Weak lox bagel. Green tomatoes, flavorless lox, hardly any cream cheese and browning lettuce. It was like everything was of low quality and a little past it’s prime. Even the onions were flavorless. IDK maybe I bumped my head and ruined my tastebuds while sleeping... The wrap was fine other than the size and the browning old spinach inside. The lady inside seemed nice for the 30 seconds I saw her. I had ordered by phone. Kinda pricey at $20 for the lox bagel and a small wrap.

I have only been there twice but both times they gave me exactly what I asked for even though it was kind of a picky order. I very much appreciate a business that gives you EXACTLY what you want and with a smile. The attendant was very polite.The flavors are great, made fresh, the ingredients are fresh, nice crisp green spinach and best of all at a good price. Over all a geat place for a quick yummy meal. Mos Def recommend!!!

This is the first time staff was rude with poor customer service. We walked in and they there were 2 people preparing food with their backs towards us. They clearly knew we entered the restaurant because their legendary door bells rang and we were talking loud enough for them to hear us. Still nothing. No Ill be right with you or maybe just turn around and acknowledge were there. At least 2 minutes goes by and my adult son says is anyone going to help us? Then a new kid comes from the deeper kitchen area and asks for our order. The man fixing food overheard my order and without turning around mumbles to the kid that the oven is out and they cant make that. The kid repeats what the mumbleman said. We decided to take our money elewhere. What a shock and disappointment.

Review №27

Always a pleasant experience. Bagels are delish but the main reason I like this place is the cream cheese spreads they have. Sweet ones like fig and goat cheese or savory ones like blue cheese and chives. Its never too loud or too crowded either.

Quick friendly service the breakfast bagel sandwich I ordered was just ok though. The use the microwave scramble egg stuff and low quality microwave bacon. The bagel tasted microwaved not toasted garlic was soggy. Over all wasnt terrible but wasnt great either. Good for a quick breakfast on the go stop

Love this place! Been going here since they opened. The menu is amazing!!! Try the Summerfield salad, its delicious. My kids love it too.

Review №34

Google maps directed me here as a good coffee place. They only have the basic old watered down coffee with a big opened bottle sitting on the counter over the garbage rather then in the fridge. As for the bagle, I could have gotten better at the grocery store for about the same price.

Review №39

Overpriced food. 2 bagel sandwiches and a salad with a coffee $27. They were good but not $30 worth. Also a rude cashier. I added meat to my bagel, which costs $1 according to their menu, yet she rang it for $1.50. When I asked about it, she copped an attitude and refused to change it. The manager came by and fixed it without causing a scene. I was pissed not bc of the $0.50, but the principle of it; definitely not coming back.

Best bagel breakfast sandwich around. And a great atmosphere as you sit with the local community gathering for coffee and good eats.

Review №45

Awful service, the person who took my order didnt listen and was very dismissive. I ordered an egg bagel well toasted with cream cheese and butter. I just got a warm dull sorry egg bagel with cream cheese. The bread is low quality, may as well have gotten a bag from costco and made it myself. Never coming back here.

Highly recommended bagel place for a quick bite, elegant seating located right next to a coffee shop, Compares service and taste to the bigger bagel franchise stores or even better.

Ja
Review №49

Cashier was unfriendly and rude, she clearly shouldn’t have been given a customer service position. IMO, this is a reflection of poor management. A bagel with lox (not open-faced) and coke cost me about $12...a bit steep if you ask me. Definitely will never come back.

Good bagels and sandwiches. For some reason, they dont have their prices on the menu board inside, so definitely look at the one on their website or paper copies if you want to know what itll cost before ordering!

Delicious food, though a tad bit pricy, and the wait might be longer than you expect, but I guess thats because things are made hot and fresh.
