Under new management, the gentlemen was nice. But I watched the girl making my food take out her phone and use cell phone then continue to make my food in the same gloves. SO GROSS. Obviously no basic food handling knowledge. I don’t recommend.

Always delicious bagels!
Hands down best breakfast bagel I’ve ever had! I’m not much of a bread eater, but the bagels are freshly made I devoured the whole thing. Definitely coming back.

I stopped into Golden Bagel after picking up coffee next door at Starbucks because I prefer to support small businesses and thought I would grab my breakfast sandwich there instead.
Unfortunately, the experience was extremely uncomfortable and concerning.
The employee preparing my sandwich was sick. She was coughing while making food. After I received my order and sat down to eat, I became even more alarmed. The same employee went into the restroom and was violently ill. It genuinely sounded like she was struggling to function. On my way out, I asked the staff at the counter to please check on her, and they confirmed she was not feeling well.
At that point, I could not stop thinking about the fact that someone who was clearly ill was handling food for customers.
I am the primary caretaker for my father who has serious immune and autoimmune conditions, and I now have to worry about possible exposure because of this visit. No customer should be put in that position. Basic food safety and common sense require that sick employees not be preparing food.
To make matters worse, my bagel was barely lukewarm and certainly not “golden.”
I wanted to support a local business, but this experience was unsettling and unacceptable. I will not be returning.

Very yummy Bagels, and cream cheese flavors my go to is toasted jalapeno bagel and cream cheese.
Very great spot we walk to from our home it’s only about a 15 minute walk.
The wait can get kind of long we waited 20 mins for our two bagels but it was Saturday morning so understandable.
Lovely staff and bagels are always delicious

The place was very nice. It was quiet cause it was early in the morning, a little after they opened. I ordered my food (2) bagels and Lox, and in a few minutes it was ready.
I'll be back there again when the craving for bagels and Lox hits me again.

They advertise that they are open until 3:00 I got here at 2:50 right when I got off of work hoping to get a salted bagel. This was going to be my first time here. Sure enough they were locked up tight closed. When I looked at the girl inside she shook her head at me and said we're closed. I wasted my gas getting here and got here 10 minutes before closing but they decided to close early anyway. Never coming back I don't like unreliable businesses. Total disappointment

The coffee tastes watered down. I asked them to brew it stronger, but they didn't seem to understand what I meant. Food is ok.

Go to Gold Coast Bagel or Cheers Deli around the corner for way better service and food! Sandwiches are twice the size of here. Today will be my last visit there. I asked for the veggie sandwich to be put in a wrap instead of a bagel. I have ordered this here 3x previously. The owner was sitting down in his seat and told the clerk NO. I said why I have ordered before? You just literally put everything in the wrap instead. Then he again told her NO. Would not bother to get up or even look at me. So won’t ever be going back there and urge you not to bother as well. Go spend your money somewhere they will be nice to you and make a sandwich or a wrap the way you want it! I mean it’s $14 for a veggie wrap. You think they could fulfill your request but apparently too much to ask. Shame. Place is never busy for a reason and now I know why. They don’t appreciate their customers.

They gave me a very old and hard/stale blueberry bagel this morning. It tasted like I was chewing on cardboard.

They closed early. Seems like a basic expectation to stay open the hours that you have listed on the door.
