employees look dazed and confused when the line is out the door. Example set by owner. Never seen somewhere so unorganized

The bagels aren’t that bad and the location is the best in the city, But those bagels are too goddamn thick and I keep getting told that they’re gonna fix this but they haven’t. I feel like I’m eating more bread than anything else.

Vibes are great, and food taste amazing. but every time I’ve been here I’ve never been able to order what I actually want due to items being sold out. Wait time for you food is 15-20 minutes. I really have tried to love this place, but have been repeatedly disappointed:(

I have tried bagels all over the world. They are my favorite and I scope them out before we even arrive lol. All of this to say that Bloomington Bagel Co is still my favorite. The crust never disappoints and their schmears are so good. If you’re looking for authentic bagels, here’s your spot.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience here on April 13, 2025 around 3 PM. First, I accidentally walked toward the staff area and was snapped at rudely instead of being politely redirected. Then, a staff member spoke to my friend, who has special needs, in an extremely condescending and sarcastic tone. She was standing on a chair, and instead of calmly addressing the situation, she loudly and in an extremely rude tone said, “Get off, what are you doing? This is unprofessional,” while glaring at us the entire time.
To make matters worse, another employee began hovering near our table while cleaning, clearly eavesdropping, then walked back to the group of staff, after which they all turned and stared at us with judgmental expressions. We were also the only Indian customers in the store, and it’s hard not to feel like we were being singled out.
If you’re looking for a place to be treated with disrespect, this is it. I wouldn’t recommend this establishment to anyone who values kindness, inclusivity, or basic customer service.
Edit: owner of the business personally reached out to me to make things right but didn't really follow through.

I have been coming here 20 years - genuinely love the bagels but the service is getting worse and worse, to the point of insult.
Great variety of bagels and fillings! Coffee is also good.

1. Bloomington’s local specialty bagel shop 2. There are many choices of bagels and they are chewy. 3. The hangover has a lot of meat and is very satisfying. 4. Good service attitude

I got their Lotsa Lox, which comes with smoked salmon, tomato, purple onion, capers, and a pickle on the side. You can choose your bagel and schmear from a variety of options. I got their asiago bagel with plain cream cheese. Truly delicious and filling meal. Service was quick, and there are a couple of tables inside to sit down and eat.
