One of my favorite places. Our regular Saturday morning breakfast spot. Amazing food, great coffee and very reasonably priced. The employees are wonderful and always helpful. Highly recommend!

Great place to stop in for a quick bite to-go or to sit down for a meeting. I've been in a few times in the last couple of years - great breakfast sandwiches and priced well for what you're getting. Love that they have a gluten free bagel available. They even asked while I was ordering if it needed to be toasted in a gluten free toaster. I appreciate that level of care. I got the Santa Fe breakfast sandwich and it was fantastic. Loaded with fresh sliced avocado and thick cut bacon. Paid just over $10 - which felt like a good value for what I received. My critiques would be that I wish there were a bigger variety for the GF bagels. I would have loved an Asiago bagel! Also, the sandwich needed more cream cheese. It may have made the GF bagel feel less dense, dry, and crumbly if it had been spread on the top piece as well. I ended up taking off the top of the bagel to eat the sandwich and that was fine. They look to be expanding into the space next door. Looking forward to seeing what is to come.

I arrived 5 minutes before they were scheduled to open. I walked in and they were ready! I was immediately greeted warmly and the staff was all on deck, ready to serve. It was impressive and the follow up was even better. They assisted me with my choices throughout the process of choosing a dozen Bagels and cream cheese. They had a wide variety of oven fresh bagels and about a dozen kinds of cream cheese! All of the bagels were great and my family loved them.

This place is the best. Super fresh and delicious bagels with a huge variety of cream cheeses. Prices are extremely reasonable too for the quality, and if you go for bagel happy hour it’s absurd how much you get for an absolute bargain. Plus, everyone who works there is super helpful and friendly.
