Bagels are some of the best I've ever had. The staff are very pleasant and thorough and consistent. They go that extra step. A simple example is if you get a turkey bagel they don't just slap the meat on. They pull each piece of turkey apart before placing it carefully on the sandwich! An eye for detail!
i love it here!
This place is so great, they go above and beyond every time. I recommend everybody to come here, it’s a great place to give business too. All of the food tastes amazing every-time!!!
Drove by, I guess.
I love the sausage, egg, and Swiss on jalapeño cheddar bagel. Also the chocolate chip bagels are my favorite.
Very nice place great Bagels
The bagel was OK, but a bit overpriced.

American bagel is always a hit for fresh bagels and delicious cream cheese. But the star of this location are the tamales they sell on the weekends. The pork with green sauce are a family fave!

So I came to this shop this morning, 3rd day in a row. My schedule changed and I was like ok this is going to be my go-to place for a quick breakfast/lunch, but after today’s experience, I’m good, no thanks. So let me start by saying that this isn’t an attempt to get anything for free. It’s legit about listening to the customer and carrying out their order. And when that DOESN’T HAPPEN, the business, especially a local business should try to make it right.
I went in and asked for a chicken caprese sandwich on a regular bagel. I LITERALLY SAID CHICKEN CAPRESE. I get home and start working, then I bite into the sandwich and it’s really soft, I eventually realize that the chicken is missing. I called them and at first, the person who made it, Rosa, was like yeah come in and we’ll remake it. I was like ok and I said thank you for making it right.
THEN….I get a callback a minute later, she said that they only charged me for the regular caprese sandwich, not the chicken one….STILL MY ORDER WAS WRONG. I asked what the price difference was…she said a few cents. I CAME TO THIS BAGEL SHOP BECAUSE OF THE CHICKEN CAPRESE SANDWICH, if I wanted a Bagel with a few slices of tomato and a few slices of Mozzarela, I would’ve put that together at home! And I get it, maybe someone going there everyday DOESN’T IMPACT the business enough for you all to care, but you should want to make sure that the orders are being made correctly and that the customer is getting what they asked for. And when that doesn’t happen, you should want to make it right. It’s not like the counter is completely see-thru where I can verify that you’re making my sandwich correctly. And it’s not the McDonald’s drive thru where I should have to unwrap my sandwich in the store before leaving to make sure you guys didn't screw it up. Thanks but no thanks. Sucks that a local place doesn’t care about the customer.
