It’s fine. Got an ice coffee, bacon egg and cheese, and everything bagel with cream cheese, everything was fine. Come on guys it’s airport food of course it’s not as good as a real restaurant but it does the job, The staff were efficient and nice.

Worst bagels, and they only give you the tiniest of a smear. Save your money.

Picture this. You’ve flown halfway or more across the world, skipping through the skies to a faraway place, a place of legends, of technology, of freedom, of opportunity. You’ve taken maybe two, three, four separate flights so far, each in pursuit of your final destination: San Jose, capital of the technology world; hundreds of legendary American Institutions call this incredible place their home. You shuffle off the plane as the dawn light pierces through the majestic glass windows of SJC. You gawk around in awe, at the towering headquarters of trillion dollar companies, at the flickering lights advertising the latest breakthroughs in AI for beer or computer networks for nurses, or something. Your stomach rumbles as you slowly shuffle onwards, head turning this way or that, each new sight of this technological mecca a delight to the senses. You lower your head for a brief moment, and you spy it - a small, humble shop advertising the Great American Bagel. This must be the place! In the great Land of Opportunity, this must be THE Great American Bagel! In your home, you’ve heard whispers of the great bagel, a heavenly concoction of diverse textures and flavors.

We must imagine this scene in order to understand the enormity of expectation, the incredible weight of the entire American Mythos, pressing down on this Great American Bagel. It is inevitable that this bagel couldn’t possibly fulfill its promise.

And yet, nothing could possibly prepare you for the disappointment that awaits. You take your first bite and are instantly repulsed.
Insipid, dry, stale, tasteless, lukewarm bread, separating a greasy, overly salty, gummy cream “cheese”, squeezing out the sides like a teenage pimple on an unwashed face. They called it an “everything” bagel, but “nothing” is a far more accurate way to describe the toppings that dot the barren surface. You’d be better off eating the paper it came wrapped in.

At least the guy I ordered from was nice, I guess.

Overpriced, don’t appreciate paying so much for such low quality food.

Won’t be coming to any location again.

Two bagels and drinks $36+

Bagels and cream cheese and coffee are pretty good, not too expensive

David Radtke

Friendly but understaffed. Bagels are ordinary at best. Cream cheese is too soft almost liquid. No flavored cream cheese, just plain

The lady behind the counter is very unfriendly and has the look like she hates her job and the sad part is I think she is the manager. On the other hand the gentleman (Quency) that rung-up my order is very Profesional and welcoming.

What a rotten attitude when walking in. What a rude employee who clearly did not want to work. She yelled at the 3 of us in line that we would be getting nothing toasted. I turned around and got myself a sandwich elsewhere.

Unbelievably bad for sandwiches, bagels alright. They need some real management to run this place or just 86 the whole damn thing my good god??
