Full disclosure: l am from the Philly area, so that is what l measure my bagels by. I love a toasted cinnamon raisin or everything toasted with cream cheese. When l toasted the bagels the shell became hard and crispy. Not an enjoyable experience. But the next day l pan seared the bagels in butter to make a pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich. Much better. Would l buy them again - yes, but only for making sandwiches, and only if I was in the area.
It's a shame to see your favorites go downhill. We've been visiting this spot for a couple years, when we're camping at the KOA. This latest visit we had to wait at the counter for someone to even acknowledge us. It's fine if you're busy, but at least say hi and let us know you'll be with us soon. Then the coffee bar was almost completely bare and un-kept. When we asked for creamer and sweeteners they were rude and acted like we were imposing on them....
Empire was our go to spot for very good bagels when we lived in Porters Neck. We moved 7 years ago but always made a point to purchased at least a dozen bagels when in town visiting friends.
The 2 dozen bagels I bought this morning were not very authentic & more bread like which is never good. They were Smaller and less dense with no chew…& little flavor.
Whatever changed over the last few years was not for the better.
Will not be returning...
