Had a tuna melt and a liquid lunch protein shake with the wifeskis and it hit the spot. I’ll be back soon …………….

Tasty bagels and bagel sandwiches. Busy on Sundays.

The bagel was fine enough. I asked the cashier if it could be cut in half. She looked at me like I had two heads. I explained it is easier to handle that way. She finally consented to my little request. Actually it seems like it should be the norm. ***Heavy Sigh***😞

I used the Too Good To Go app (food waste prevention - highly recommend for discounted GOOD food) and received a bunch of bagels as well as glazed donuts. The food was warm, well-packed, and likely worth full price for the quality! Support small businesses & reduce food waste.

A bagel itself was really good, however, what’s the point of being able to customize your choices if they don’t get them correct? I changed the type of cheese and added a few things… But the cheese that was on my bagel was the default, not the one that I picked, and the extra items I added to the bagel were missing, along with avocado, which was an extra $2 wasted. They don’t really have any way to contact them via email or phone number to talk about issues and I wasn’t going to drive back down that way to walk in and complain. So it was good, but I’m disappointed that I spent extra money on an item that I didn’t receive. The worker should pay more attention to the receipt and be sure that customers are getting what they pay for.

Best bagels in San Diego. I have been a customer for years. Now I order on line and pick it up in about 20 minutes. Sunday morning very busy and slow. About 0900.

Love them in my neighborhood and the food is fine, but for the price and the number of people working, I’m amazed at how slow they are… eight people working this morning, no line, very few people seem to be coming in for pickup orders … and 15 minutes / $11.50 for a bacon, egg and cheese bagel.

Great bagels and very accessible location. Only gripe is that the wait was a bit long considering all I ordered was a few bagels with cream cheese, which is a bummer when I am rushing to get to work. Otherwise, a good bagel and good service. I would definitely come again

Stopped in this morning for a sandwich for the first time since living here for 20 years. The food was great met an employee named Bridget. She was amazing super friendly and outgoing. If anybody understands restaurant Business, they understand that that’s the secret sauce to success hire well and have a good product

This bagel was not great. It was dry, almost stale, and the texture was odd. I got an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. Maybe the drinks and donuts are good, which is why I give two stars and not one. The shop looks cute but service was a bit slow. You'd literally be better off with a Vons bagel.

Please be more careful in food preparation.
New review. Has this place changed hands? The reason being they raised the sandwich that I bought weekly $2.05 I mean $1. I could understand but this I can’t. You lost a dedicated customer.
