Brookside Bagels Reviews
The new owner is rude & discourteous.
Instead of introducing herself to a loyal customer for 20 years with a smile and a handshake, she came out front and accused me of having free refills.
She was mistaken.
My first cup had hair in it so I dumped it out in the sink and poured another; the second cup was cold. To warm it up, I added a little more coffee.
Her customer service skills are horrendous.
I will be enjoying going to Lox, Stock & Bagels...read full review
Decided to give them a try again (hoping service and food would be better) but it was not! Went inside and ordered two sausage egg & cheese on everything bagels along with a side of bacon and it took almost 55 minutes for us to get our order. Absolutely ridiculous! Definitely won’t be coming back.
We truly enjoyed the service and the excellent bagels. I highly recommend it.

Brookside Bagels is a beloved local spot known for its freshly baked bagels with a chewy texture and flavorful toppings. The restaurant offers a wide selection of bagels, including vegan options, and its lunch menu features popular choices like the BE&C Sandwich. Customers especially enjoy the bagels' delicious taste, which many say is among the best they've had, even comparing them favorably to those in New York City. The bagels come in special flavors such as cheddar & jalapeño, blueberry, apple, and pumpkin cheesecake, adding variety to the menu. The cream cheese served cold is also a highlight, complementing the bagels perfectly.
Visitors frequently praise the friendly service and cozy, small-town atmosphere. While the food is consistently praised, some customers have mentioned that the wait time can be long, especially if ordered online, but staff are noted to be kind and helpful. The dining area provides a nice space to enjoy a meal, with some customers raving about the egg, cheese, and ham bagel, and others enjoying the cinnamon sugar bagel with sausage, bacon, egg, and cheese. Overall, Brookside Bagels remains a favorite for breakfast or lunch, offering a variety of sandwiches and bagels that keep customers coming back.
