Really terrible and undersized bagels. They aren't really bagels so much as dough shaped like bagels. Terrible value. Skip.

While the bagels are perfectly acceptable, having only one person working during rush periods makes the service terrible. We had to wait almost 20 minutes for a single sandwich with only 4 people in line, and online ordering ahead is not available. Avoid if you value your time, there are so many better bagel options out there.

The bagels here are like mini bagels. Be aware before you order. Taste was good but they are about 1/3 the size of a normal bagel

So happy I discovered them on doordash!! I've now sampled several different things...everything they make is delicious. The bagels are freshly baked, and they taste (& smell) amazing. Cream cheese is light & fluffy. I'm surprised how much I liked the flavored ones, since I usually stick with plain. Breakfast sandwich was filling and not at all oily; all the flavors balanced well together. Tried the chocolate chip muffins- they're the only thing that comes even close to my childhood Muffin Break store. They even sell Mexico coke! What else can you ask for?? This place is great!
They forgot to put sausage in my sandwich so I went to take it back and they remade the sandwhich without a fuss, great customer service.

The bagels were not airy, very small and flavor not the greatest. My mocha cold coffee very weak mostly sugar. The urn coffees were good free refills.
Asiago melt (cheese, ham, and egg) gave my girlfriend food poisoning. Vomiting, headache, bloody stool, etc. (4/25/2025) Started with a stomach ache as we were driving back after.
also dont order strawberry cream cheese its basically watery liquid. food went from good/decent to absolute crap today.
got here at 11:30 am and its closed.
Good food, reasonable prices
Check your charges. I noticed that I’d been far over charged. When I called, the manager, Rick, told me he'd just heard the same thing from another customer and suggested I input my PIN on the tip screen to account for the extra charge. My PIN, when used as a sum added to the amount I was meant to have been charged, did not add up, debunking this. Furthermore, I remembered the tip screen and had put zero because I’d added cash to the tip jar. Rick informed me I had to come in for a partial refund. So I motored the twenty minutes over, and he doubled down when I arrived, now stating that I’d absentmindedly typed in the total amount on the tip screen. Perhaps if I didn't remember quite so clearly, I could give the benefit of the doubt that I’d been wrong here, but, alas. He said he always sees this, but when I mentioned a new card reader because this seems like a thorn in his side, he replied, “Not really, it happens maybe once in 500 customers.” Oh really, Rick? Sounds like at least 2 in 500, considering he just told me it had happened to another lady the same day. These statements are incongruent. Which is it? It happens all the time or not often at all? He enacted a demonstration of how it happened by showing how the tip screen reads, but it only reinforced my memory of putting a zero there. He made sure to mention that they cannot change the charges after customers leave, but all I have is his word on that, and since he'd already contradicted himself, I can't really go based on that. This very well could have been an honest mistake, but the customer service was off-putting. He did refund the overcharge, but the attitude was as dry and offensive as the mini muffins. On top of it all, the bagels were tiny and stale, so no love was lost. I will not be back
