Seems like they were confused today. We called in our order and it was ready when we got there….sort of.
The double toast bagel had cream cheese on it but was ordered on the side. No big deal, they remade it fast, but it wasn’t double toasted so we re-toasted at home. The sesame bagel had literally no sesames on it and was soggy, not toasted. Yuck. The 3rd bagel sandwich was fine.
Not that busy so surprised as this place is usually pretty good. Friendly service.

When I first walked into Bagel World, I was greeted by a damp, smoky smell. Several unkempt individuals loitered near the counter, chatting with the staff like they were regulars—or possibly even employees, though it was hard to tell. Despite this off-putting scene, I had called in my order and decided to give the place a chance. I approached the counter and asked for my bagel sandwich and coke. Without a word, the cashier handed me a greasy brown bag, which already made me question the cleanliness of the food. Confused, I asked where my drink was, and he lazily pointed to the refrigerator behind him, all while continuing his conversation with the other scruffy guys who clearly hadn't seen a razor in days.
Then came the kicker: I pulled out my credit card to pay, only to be told they only accept cash. This information was casually tossed my way, with zero mention of it when I placed my order over the phone or with signage on the door. He pointed to an ATM conveniently located next to the counter, claiming it only charged a “small” fee of one dollar. Seriously? In this day and age—2024, where you can pay for anything from gas to groceries with a simple tap of your wrist—I’m supposed to carry cash around for a bagel shop?
Absolutely dumbfounded, I had no choice but to use the ATM, paying $21 for my 20 dollar bill. When I asked if they always operated as a cash-only establishment, the cashier—still disinterested—shrugged and gave a dismissive “yes” before handing me my change with dirty hands, then promptly returning to his conversation with his unkempt crew.
Let's be real: this is a scam. No signage, no mention over the phone, nothing. Just a sneaky way to avoid credit card fees and profit off the ATM fees. You know they get a nice little kickback from that machine too. Did I even have a choice once I was already holding my food? Absolutely not.
To top it off the bagel was soft and the egg was greasy. Shocker!
And as for the owner? I snapped a picture of him at the door before he jumped into his Lexus and drove off, probably laughing about how easy it is to rip off customers like me with these underhanded tricks.
Bagel World? More like Bagel Scam.

Bagels are not made fresh anymore. They are frozen. How am I supposed to eat my bagel, when it's frozen?

Ordered 6 bagels to go. Service was friendly, sausage egg and cheese bagel was amazing. They fry the egg that’s on the bagel. Every bite had a great flavor! Very impressed! Highly recommend ?

Walked in for the first time and received no greeting by either gentleman behind the counter. I was the only patron in the building. I asked if they had gluten free bagels and one guy answered no while refusing to look up from his phone. Searching around, I wasn’t sure what to order so I just ordered what I had the taste for. The gentleman at the cash register stared at me until I ordered. No smile, no “what can I get for ya”. As I waited for my food, another lady walked in and received a hearty “good morning!”. Gentleman at the register smiled at this customer then asked “what can I get for ya?”. This lady did not appear to be familiar either gentleman. The bagel itself was delicious, but I won’t give these people anymore service.
Great bagel!

We stopped by today for a late breakfast. I will say, the bagels are amazing! The food came out super fast and was great quality. We ordered a bunch of stuff. I had a roast beef on a bagel, my wife had eggs and French toast. The kids had a variety of bagels and muffins. All was great.The only constructive criticism I have is the guy working the counter with red hair was about as dry as a popcorn fart. He got the job done but he could throw a little personality into each transaction.Thanks for a great meal!
