I’m so sad to write this but the amount of wasted money we’ve spend here is disturbing. This is suppose to be an oatmilk latte. It’s not even drinkable. The place is overly crowded and there is no one to hear your complaints. The last order we had was completely wrong, they gave us a bacon, egg and cheese when we ordered a vegan trifecta. As longtime residents of Woodbury we watched this little charming coffee shop run by charismatic, kind people turn into an overpriced bougie coffee place run by people who can care less what they are serving. Quantity over quality appears to be is the new vibe. No one appears to be managing this restaurant and there is zero quality control or consistency over the products being provided. We have continued to try and give this place a chance, hoping it would improve but we are no longer willing to waste our money supporting this business.

Delicious coffee but substandard bagels. I don’t think they come from the same vendor. The bagel I had was stale and disappointing. Seating is a problem. Tables are taken up by people with laptops who work or study. Many of the tables seat 4 but only one customer is at the table. They buy one coffee and stay all day. For those of us who want to relax and have a coffee with friends, there is no seating. The place down the street (West Egg) must be getting the overflow. BTW. The West Egg location is the original location of Ayla’s. It was a much larger space.

Lovely place. Sandwiches are delicious. Staff is very nice and work hard. My reason for 3-4 stars is the wait is terrible. I often go in for a delicious iced tea or coffee. The orders are filled in order they come in, regardless of what they are, even for a simple iced tea that just needs to be poured into a cup. There is usually 1 person handling drinks on Sundays and it is so ridiculous to wait 15 minutes for a drink that could be handled in 2-3 minutes. Not efficient at all! I would come in WAY more often if it was quicker. Not sure why such limited staff or the simple drink are not handled by someone who is not making espressos and other special drinks.

The bagels are yummy and made with the perfect amount of cream cheese. Last Sunday it took a good long while to get my order to-go. I don't recommend this place if you're in a hurry after church gets out. The last time I visited, I ordered the chai latte and it was absolutely awful (gloopy sugary powder at the bottom of the cup). For $5+ per small cup I expect actual tea made with real spices- look up a recipe, pre-mix a batch upon opening (skip the sugar), and if you sell out for the day, you sell out. That's how the pros do it. Keep on keeping on!

Place went downhill under new ownership. A simple coffee order takes 5x longer than it did before. Staff aren’t the friendliest. The old management cared less about the looks and more about their service. Yeah this place looks appealing but most people could care less about the looks and more about the service and quality of the product.

The only bagel store in the area. They open at 7:00 am and are usually out of sesame bagels by 7:30. Maybe they should make more??

My family and I love this place. We order at least once a week. However every time we order, there is always something that isn't correct. Asked and paid extra for avocado and never got it, asked for siracha mayo and got straight mayo. These are minor mistakes but when I try to call the establishment it goes straight to voicemail or someone picks up and goes immediately to hold.

Newer bagel shop with a wide range of pastries and breakfast foods and very reasonable pricing. Nice, modern interior with lots of seating. Service was super helpful. My only issue with this visit was a 15-minute wait for my breakfast. I'll give it another try and see if it comes faster next time.
been coming here over a year now and the inside has gone down hill there are fruit flys everywhere and paying for my order I saw these flys landing on the scones in the case this is a turn off and I no longer would purchase any baked goods it’s very concerning what the kitchen looks like with the amount of flys out on the floor it’s got so bad they land on food while dining inside

It’s great that there is a place in town that doesn’t close at 3pm (!) to get a beverage and a light meal. The interior of Ayla’s is welcoming and clean. Overall, however, I find the food and (especially) the coffees overpriced. The flavor is there, but the portions are not. Bagels are my least favorite item at Ayla’s. Other items are fine. Sadly , the last two times I ordered food there, the sandwiches were missing ingredients. While dining in, I could ask the staff to correct this; but, after getting home with takeout, it was a sad disappointment that the sandwich was not made correctly.

I have worked in Woodbury and been a supporter of Ayla's for years, even though the service is terrible. Yesterday I went there and asked for a wrap and after waiting 20 minutes they bought it out to me. When I got back to work and openend the wrap it fell apart. In addition it was wrapped in two wraps. I had to call and complain, but I felt like I didn't get any satisfaction. First they said sorry and when I pointed out that the wrap was not folded correctly I said " the girl who made it did'nt know how to wrap it" then the manager said how do you know it was a girl who made it? We have girls and guys working in the kitchen. What difference does that make. I asked for dressing on the side and didn't get it. Again she said well I took your order. They offered to take it off my card if I charged it . I paid cash. The place is beautiful and clean but they just can't get the service right. And there was plenty of people working. I just don't think they care

Just had your egg salad sandwich on multi grain bread and was very disappointed. It was tasty, but is a rip off compared to the one served at Woodbury Deli for less $. Won’t do that again ?.
