Food is always great, but got a coffee with spoiled milk today. Usually have no issues but its full of white curdled chunks today. Not drinking well or feeling good.

No matter what I do I can’t seem to get a dark toasted bagel here lately!! I loveeeee the bagels, artichoke panini, and breakfast burrito, as well as the iced coffee. Salmon and lox is not my fav here. but “dark toasted” should be dark!! Bagels have been extremely light lately. Would love to know how to get a nice toasty bagel.

I had a berrylicious smoothie and a plain bagel with cream cheese—they were both amazing. I'd come back again.

The food is good but unfortunately aggressive panhandlers patronize this place and the staff hardly do anything to prevent it. Definitely won't be returning if it means being threatened by other customers.

i am obsessed with their bagel sandwiches, they are so fresh and delicious. i will eventually try other things, but right now that is my go to. i order on line, and their process is very smooth and easy to follow. smells wonderful in there, and they have tables and high top seating, but i just take mine to go. i had a little snafu with an online order this weekend, and everyone was quick to assist and remedy it. staff are friendly and professional. in my opinion, best bagel spot in the seacoast, and they have several flavors of iced coffee to choose from.

The bacon egg and cheese uses a very weird sharp type of cheese that I was not rocking with.

Amazing bagels! The cream cheese they used is the best I've ever had. Delicious, soft, creamy cream cheese. The service was slow. I wouldn't come here for latte coffee. It's made by an automatic machine, and it tasted like Dunkins coffee and much more expensive. I don't put sugar on my coffee, but this latte was too bitter that I need to put some. Perhaps their brew coffee is better but I wouldn't come back for coffee. Their pastries look delicious. We tried a scone and it was really good.

Get rid of the flies. Who wants to eat with that? Doesn’t matter the time of year. Certain servers are rude, but most are nice.

You guys never disappoint me ever! Thank you for making a slamming breakfast burrito consistently!! My boyfriend and I lived here a few years back and we came back for the weekend to visit some of our fave spots and this was one of them! I got the sunrise grilled burrito and added roast chicken! Absolutely delicious and hits every taste bud!
