“very nice bagel place with hard working and very friendly employees.I come here very often and get their pink flamingo which is salmon mixed in with cream cheese on a toasted everything bagel with red onions. The place is kept clean. There is street parking and they have a small parking lot. I recomend“

“Rookie mistake making my first trip here right as Sunday service was getting out! This place is right on Church property, in case I am the only out of towner that didn't think to look at the satellite view of the place prior to walking here. The croissant was good and the coffee was tasty! But let it be known you can't bring your leashed dogs inside in order to actually order coffee. There's also not a really good spot to tie them up if you're traveling solo with your dog. The outside amenities for the dogs are decent, however.“

“I don’t understand how an amazing coffee shop can, at there discretion, close there coffee shop at any time they want? Why would u treat loyal customers this way. Sometimes posted in Instagram, sometimes not. So inconsiderate of daily customers. Very disappointing to walk all the way there, excited for my greeting from the staff and my great latte, only to find a note on the door, closed at 11:30? How can u feel good about people showing up and not open and it isn’t even close to 3:00? Confusing to me how everything else but this one issue can be perfect?“

I always end up buying to much because I can't decide.“

“Enjoy chocolate undertones in your coffee bean? Check out the light roast Nicaraguan or the medium roast Moka Java shown in photo here.Staff here are always attentive and helpful. Get the benefits of coffee experts who can speak to the nuances in their beans. They have a great deal of expertise above what you would probably find in a coffee place staffed by students.Oh, and Java Bob's accepts Apple Pay!Pro tips: coffee is best when ground and served between three and 10 days after resting has completed. By small quantities regularly to retain the highest amount of flavor. That's one of the secrets the coffee shops make use of.“

THEY LIED TO ME! I HAD NO IDEA SUCH A GLAZED DONUT EXISTED. WHEN I WALKED IN THERE AT 0544 AND SAW THE DONUTS IN THE DISPLAY CASE THE GATES OF HEAVEN OPENED AND THE ANGELS SANG! THE SERVICE WAS FRIENDLY GENUINELY FRIENDLY NOT THAT SCRIPTED STANDARD FORMALITIES CRAP. 💪🏾🤎🥰“

“Great coffee (they roast it); great, friendly service. Lots of food choices. I had a garlic bagel with egg and something on it. The bagel was good-ish; there were other things on the menus(!) that looked delicious. I shall go back. Atmosphere was richly varied and warmly welcoming. If I lived in the neighborhood, it would be my go-to morning place.“
