Visited in September 2025 & I was very disappointed in the bagel breakfast sandwich. The bagel itself was bad & the whole thing had zero flavor or even a hint of salt.
It’s disappointing because this place used to have great bagels. Now it’s overpriced, bad, & you order from a touchscreen.

I’m from NYC and visited Cincinnati for a wedding so I stopped by for some bagels and this place has good reviews so I got some bagels. I have to admit that they are not what the people say about their service. I didn’t get what I wanted or expected to get. Not anything comparable to what any Bagel shop would offer in NYC.

Not a friendly place for allergies unfortunately. We ordered a vegan lox sandwich, assuming “vegan” equals a vegan meal. Came with regular dairy cream cheese and we didn’t find out until specifically asking. The employees are fine but don’t seem to know what to do in these situations. Careful if you have specific allergies because they aren’t clearly marked anywhere.

The “modernization” isn’t working out. Can’t order bagels that are clearly in stock. Only one employee keeps the process slow. Cost cutting measures are taking its toll.

Very tasty and well-made bagels. Both the parmesan herb and jalapeno cheddar bagels had a nice crust and soft chewy interior. They made a good foundation for the lox. The lox tasted high-quality. They also have GF bagels for those in need but we didn't try them.

Bagels were good but the place was absolutely disgusting inside. Found a curly , short hair in one of our bagels. Guy didn’t even change his gloves after touching another order, handling cash or the tablet everyone touches. Get what you pay for, I guess.

It been like 2 years I been eating this bagel. They are great. Every single day before going to work , I eat a bagel sandwich. It’s the same every single day. Just try deli turkey with tator tos with asaigo. Just go try it and you won’t regret.

I went in around 12:30 on a Thursday. I understand the high prices due to location, but have high expectations when paying a premium. I got a half dozen for $10, the selection was pretty limited but not crazy surprising for being after noon. I just don’t know who would ever want a cheeto dust bagel or a fruity pebbles bagel, which is probably why they were some of the remaining options.
When I went to pay, he asked me if I had cash because their machine was on the fritz, but I said no and it worked fine. Maybe trying to save some $ on fees by asking for cash?
Anyways, had my first of those bagels today. For one, some of the six are rock hard. The poppyseed that I had today was hard but did soften up some after toasting. But overall, not good. The bagel is hard on the outside and dry on the inside. No chewiness, no crunchiness, it’s just disappointing.
Oh and I had to try to ignore the flies in the bagel case since I was already ordering by the time I noticed them.
I absolutely love bagels. They are one of the best breads in my opinion. I have had lots of bagels from around the country and this is probably one of the worst. The staleness is likened to a lenders bagel from Walmart. Einstein bagels are far better than these and that says a lot. But I still have five more to try and we’ll see. I’ll update this review if I get better results from the remaining bagels.
I likely won’t go back. Especially for $20/dozen!
