This spot was pretty average. My boyfriend and I stopped by for breakfast, and while it wasn’t terrible, it definitely didn’t meet our expectations. I ordered a bagel with honey butter spread, assuming it would be honey butter cream cheese—but that was my mistake for not clarifying. The bagel was decent, but not what I had in mind, so I was a bit disappointed.
The chocolate croissant, however, was a real letdown. It wasn’t flaky at all—just soggy, likely from being heated in the microwave. The chocolate was overly sweet, and we couldn’t even finish it because it was so unappetizing. Honestly, Starbucks does a much better job with croissants.
My boyfriend had the ham & cheese croissant, which he said was just okay. Unfortunately, it was also soggy.
We paid around $18 for three below-par pastries, which felt steep for the quality we got. That said, I should’ve expected higher prices given the area, but it was disappointing nonetheless.
The staff were fine in terms of efficiency—they got the job done—but there were no smiles or warmth to their service. I also wish they’d asked more clarifying questions, especially since the menu descriptions weren’t very detailed.
Overall, not a place I’d go out of my way to visit again.

Awesome bagels at reasonable prices. We got the Jalapeno and whole wheat bagels toasted with herb cream cheese. The herb cream cheese was flavorful and went well with the bagels we had. Will go back again!

The staff here is always accommodating and friendly. I wonder why management would steal their tips, if you pay by credit card? This is not a one off situation. It should be remedied. I go there a lot and tip during the holidays.

Very friendly staff, quick to get our food. The bagels themselves were amazing and tasted really good in the sandwich. Although, it wasn't the best because they overstuffed it with sprouts and other things that took away the taste of the sandwich. Other than that, very good place that I would recommend.

Asked for extra cream cheese because the last time I came in barely got any on my bagel. I guess this is what "extra" gets you. Flies all over the bread. Friendly staff, but i wouldn't recommend this place.

Bagel quality was poor. So sad, this place used to have the best bagels. Bagels not baked right ?

Staff was very friendly and the food was so good!! A little pricey for a build your own sandwich but the prices for everything are very clear on the menu. Would come back again for sure! ?The Vietnamese iced coffee was SO good!!!!

Perfect stop for brekkie while in Monterrey. We had a brekkie bagel and a brekkie burrito and enjoyed both. We also grabbed some fresh squeezed OJ and some watermelon ?

If I could have this every day of my life I would. I recommend a turkey sandwich on an everything bagel with avocado and sprouts and mayo.

The way I see it, there are 2 kinds of people: those who love the Bagel Bakery and liars. ?
I’ve eaten at multiple locations for most of my life and I keep coming back. It’s a great local chain and it’s owned by an awesome family! The food is timeless and delicious!
I only wish all locations would bring back the bagel wraps. I used to go here specifically for the pastrami or turkey wraps. Epic bagels!!!
