This bagel place is pretty good. They even have black cherry and cream soda drinks. I stopped by on my way to work and their food is all natural.

Their bagels are decent.
The service needs A LOT of work. They try to rush through, not listen to the orders, and the result always comes out wrong or missing. The staff does not care.

Had a bacon, egg and cheese on a toasted sesame. The bagels in the display shelf looked really tasty. When we got the sandwich, it looked great but on first bite the bagel had no flavor, a microwaved egg with no salt and one strip of bacon I couldn't taste for $9. Disappointing to mess up a simple breakfast bagel this bad. The bagel sandwich and coffee ran $16 with a 10% tip.

Great bagels, but the shop needs help!

We went on Christmas morning and they were overwhelmed with orders, and a line out the door.

The staff was accommodating as they could be, but clearly needed help. Managing that many orders in a tiny kitchen is difficult!

Nonetheless the bagels were great, thus the popularity. I hope they get some help soon so they can really maximize their potential.

Definitely will be back!

Really bad. Eggs tasted microwaved, a small sad piece of bacon, and a whole wheat everything bagel when I asked for a plain everything. The cashier was cool though.

My bagels today tasted like they were at least three or four days old. Disappointing.

I once was a regular of Sam’s Bagels, their BLT, in particular. Always ordered on an egg bagel.

A few months ago the bacon was suddenly reduced by half, while the price went up. Disappointing but I could live with that.

Unfortunately, about the same time, every order came on a dry-as-sawdust, thinner-than-sliced-bread, whole wheat bagel, that made the sandwich inedible. HORRIBLE flavor bagel I did not order. So I started calling ahead. Every time I got someone on the phone (difficult to do) I got an egg bagel. Today, I couldn’t call ahead and got a terrible “whole wheat” bagel. I just tossed a $15 sandwich in the trash.

Apparently they fob the awful, inedible whole wheat bagels off on delivery orders. Be forewarned.

fake eggs and seemingly microwaved bagels. lox nowhere near fresh. took three people to write down “toasted bagel” order mod via doordash … and the inside of bagel wasn’t toasted anyway. avoid.

Stopped by Sam’s bagel to grab a lunch sandwich. Around 1:30 pm there were not many options left. I’ve ordered a Turkey sandwich on a Jalapeño Bagel.
Sandwich comes with lettuce and other veggies and sliced turkey ham, 11$ for the sandwich is a fair price. The taste was good but nothing special, just a good sandwich. It’s more a shop for to go orders. Service was ok, had to wait until the staff took my order even if nobody was in front of me.

This place has good bagels, but the service is chaotic, and the people working there seem overworked. Last time I was there I had to order more than once and follow up on my order several times. In addition, I've gone by there several times to get a bagel in the early afternoon before their closing time, but they were already closed. This happened again today when I stopped by at 2:15. (Their closing time is supposed to be 2:30, but they were already closed.)
