Visited mid-morning for a quick bite to eat. We didn't order anything fancy....3 plain bagels with plain cream cheese (about $14). 35 minutes later we finally got our bagels. Not very busy, but there was only 2 working, with one of them looking like they were training.
The only good thing i can say is that they gave us a lot of cream cheese and were not stingy at all. Other than that, nothing special about the bagel. Not worth the time or money. It's sad to see so many people standing there for such simple orders.
I was telling this to some friends of mine and they experienced the same thing. Needless to say, this place probably won't last unless they change their perspective on quality and timeliness.
Would not recommend to anyone.

*week later update* as per requested by the shop owner in a reply, I did call in, was told the owner wasn’t there, said they would relay the message with my number etc for them to return the call…. Never got the call back, thank you.
Sorry folks, no can do. I tried to reach out to them via email for assistance or correction to no avail prior to this review.
Very disappointing. Usually I'll get colorful with details but, with such little effort put forth by this shop, I'm compelled to match the lack of care. A- they don't bake anything there- which is to say they buy their product frozen. Thats right, a bagel place that doesn't bake their own bagels and has frozen product shipped in. Zero fresh baked anything here. B- the bagels themselves are not bagels at all- they're variations of white bread buns with a hole. The least bagel-like bagel I've had. Lender's at the grocery store is better, and that's not good. C- the spreads are so incredibly overpriced, I just feel duped and suckered. They couldn't even be bothered to completely fill the 4oz containers we bought... at $6 each ($18 for 3 small salad dressing containers not filled). One of the flavors was literally Lipton soup mix tossed in with a block of Philadelphia. Not acceptable.
$27 for 6 bagels and 3 half filled 4-oz spreads. I feel lucky that I wasn't stupid enough to get the 6-oz $9-each containers, and only paid $18 for 12-oz (that's $24/pound cream cheese).
We're local Haywood people, and saddened with this Waynesville business. Who can afford this and why?
If the product just had a whimper of effort we'd be less disappointed- but alas, it's just a very lazy excuse to pinch the tourist economy a little bit more. Who cares about the local year round population that keep Main Street up and running in the off-seasons? Very frustrating to pay exorbitant prices for such low quality product and effort.
Specific to this google review regarding the service and atmosphere- Place smelled heavily like cleaning products when you first walk in, there was no one there and it took 20 minutes for a pretty simple to-go order.

The reason I'm giving a bad review is this... I went in to order food...however the worker was wearing gloves. He was working the register, handling money and credit cards, and at one point he wiped his nose with the glove, then went right over to make the food without changing the gloves. I decided I wouldn't eat there. Why is he wearing gloves? To protect the customers, or himself? What if he's sick and contagious and passes that on to a customer? Money is filthy then add your runny nose to the mix. Not good. Won't be back.

Bagels were okay- they were only seasoned on one side. Cream cheeses were amazing. We had the strawberry, chive & garden veggie- they were all delicious. Atmosphere was a bit lacking. Very clean, staff was friendly. Overall, I would come back.

Best place to grab breakfast or lunch in town. Absolutely love the fluffy bagels and the quality ingredients. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Also the owner (I’m assuming, he’s always there) is a super cool guy. Love this place so much.

I was originally excited when I saw a bagel shop was opening in town but the first time I went there I was not impressed. Very expensive and the bagels were super stale and the coffee is cold. The only reason I came back is because my 4 year old loves bagels, and I was told they had a downstairs area that was accommodating for kids. If it were not for that and the fact that they are the only bagel shop in town I would not have come. The bagels are not at all fresh and the portions and tiny. Most bagel shops offer bagels made fresh that day. The staff also lied to me and said they were baked fresh there that day. I guess popping in the microwave to heat up is what they consider fresh. The staff was quite rude to me and doesn't seem to want kids there. Service is extremely slow. Took over a half hour to get a microwaved plain bagel with butter when there were no other customers Not family friendly and I will not be back.
Kid-friendliness: They have a downstairs kids area which is why I came but then they closed it off to kids and asked me to go upstairs. They didn't offer to help me move any of these the food I had paid for even though I had to carry it back up myself and take the lunch away from my two toddlers who were upset they had their food taken away. They then asked me to leave saying my kids where disruptive. The only problem was them. I won't be back and don't recommend anyone with kids go here.
Went to get some bagels with my sister and ordered two bagels with no wait in front of us and it took 20min to get two bagels. There was a bad customer encounter while we were there so maybe it was an off day for the employees. However, my everything bagel was two bottoms of a bagel with no seasoning and it was NOT toasted. Atmosphere was not inviting. Bad enough experience to take 5 min and write this review.

We love Brooke and her bagel shop! The food is always amazing and the staff is top notch. I just had the special sandwich the Chicken Philly- one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. You guys are awesome!
