I just got the chocolate babka. Pretty dry or stale or both. Kind of hard to tell. Nothing to write home about.

I tried their lox sandwich, and it played a game of hide-and-seek with my taste buds – not bad, but those capers were like salty ninjas trying to take over the sandwich! Apparently, they opted for the discount capers, the rebels of flavor.The latte was so cold; I thought it was auditioning for a role in a winter wonderland movie. Maybe I should've asked them to turn up the heat, or at least give the latte a cozy blanket.This deli claims to be Jewish, but it's more confused than a chameleon at a paint store. The food selection is on a world tour, and the music is rocking a sombrero – it's a Mexican fiesta in a Jewish deli. Talk about a cultural remix!The garbage bins were living their best life – inside, outside, everywhere! The staff was on a vacation of not caring, and communication was as limited as a dictionary in a kindergarten. "Next" and "your order is ready" were the only hits on their playlist.The bathroom remodel was like a DIY project gone wrong. It's got the charm of a paperless office, and the Dyson blower is catering exclusively to customers with a height requirement of a 6-year-old. Shortcuts taken, and now the bathroom is a comedy of errors.I adore bagels, but this place? It's a bagel's worst nightmare. I'd rather have a staring contest with an empty plate than revisit this deli. Especially at $30+ for a bagel sandwich with latte.

Nice Sandwiches and Bagels. Little disappointed that it's listed as a Jewish Deli, but they didn't have a lot of baked goods for sale or meats on their own. Just a small menu.Don't get me wrong, small menus can be great. And I usually love it because it means that they do a few things, but do them REALLY well. However, though the food was good. It just wasn't a place I felt like coming back to.

I ordered a bagel to go this morning and when I started eating it I noticed a small hair attached to something else stuck to my bagel. This is disgusting and unsanitary. Never eating here again.

The eggs on the breakfast sandwich taste like powdered eggs, not good for the price. The lox didn’t taste fresh.

Pretty disappointing Uber eats order - the lox bagel was pricey but stingy on the lox, the Reuben was soggy and bland, and the honey cake coffee was weak. I ordered half and half in the coffee but they didn't add it. I won't be back.

I always get the Ruben sandwich from them. But I have noticed inconsistency recently. I got the sandwich today folded with pickles without the (box)The corned beef tasted old and it was very cold. I gave it 2 stars because the manager was nice and welcoming. But the sandwich maker seemed doesn't care.

Not even edible! The worst gluten free bagel that I have tried. The sausage is rubbery and the whole thing is a mess! Also ordered a salad that is TINY for the price charged! This place was a BIG mistake

I was prepared to give this deli a second chance. You'll see that the business owner, Chloe, responded publicly to reach out so they could rectify this experience with terrible food. I took her up on it - reached out to the email address she provided, followed up again, and never heard back. Makes me think Chloe's response to my review was all for show. (This all took place over a year ago now, but I was going through my old reviews and thought an update was warranted).

I quite enjoyed their everything bagel seasoning. But the bagel to filling ratio is disappointing, especially in salmon bagel, which had more onions than salmon.
