I’ve been going to this place for years and love it! The food is always good and the staff are always friendly. My orders are always correct and the atmosphere is very cute. A nice little hole in the wall gem. I also LOVE their monthly specialty drinks. Whoever is in charge of making that menu is very creative! Only downside is it’s gotten pretty expensive over the years (but understandable cause that’s everything these days). Either way I’m glad to see Covid didn’t take this place out. I always recommend it to friends and family!

This place is nasty. I genuinely was in shock with the amount of flies in the dining area and the bathroom. The bathroom genuinely smelled from the dining area too. I gave it another try a couple months ago and one of the workers who served me was genuinely intoxicated. The owner is also not very kind to his workers and we have heard slurs and other derogatory, inappropriate talk coming from the counter multiple times. Genuinely don't recommend.UPDATE: The owner seems to think this was a faulty review. It's not... I was an ex employee and I repeatedly brought up these issues to him. I'm assuming Christine or Jimmy is the one responding while working there.. I'm sure you've had lots of nice reviews in the past because the food is somewhat edible (although it's all microwaved and unsanitary because they have been yelled at by the health inspector before for not bleaching their cutting boards) but that's only because it's from Weis. And, "I should have asked the manager" but I literally worked there for months, was close friends with many of the other coworkers, hung out with them outside of work, and experienced it first hand. Not every review is positive for a reason, take this as a learning experience :)PS. the employees are all paid under the table and we make like $8 an hour. So when you're paying $10 for your burnt Weis croissant sandwich, remember that. They use the same cloths to clean the microwaves as they use to clean countertops, indoor/outdoor dining areas, AND the microwaves. All of the rags were then thrown into a bucket of bleach in the same sink used to wash dishes. the cloths were rarely replaced and were then also used to dry clean dishes. Jim was so cheap that the kitchen and staff area got so hot in the summer to the point where the employees were feeling ill from the heat. But then he refused to even let us keep the back door open to let cool air in because it is "letting the ac out."

Absolutely love the bagel bar. Quality of food, cleanliness, coffee, and customer service is excellent. Highly recommend to anyone in the area or anyone passing by.The only opportunity the cafe has is full filling orders accurately. I order the same thing every Saturday. 2 sausage Pattie’s and cheese on French toast bagels. Roughly 40% of the time, the sandwiches are missing a patty, or have egg on them. Not a big deal, but disappointing when returning home after pickup.

Cutest cafe! The food and coffees are amazing and the service was fast. We ordered online and they texted us when it was ready. We could easily do curbside but went inside the check the place out and it is an adorable atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly and the prices are very fair. Will definitely be ordering again because the online website makes the process really easy and convenient.Parking: Free street parking! It’s best to park on the side street and walk to the front of the block.Kid-friendliness: They do have high chairs available for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is not wheelchair accessible.

This place is wonderful, the best breakfast spot in town. I got a sausage egg and cheese bagel on a plain bagel, it was a little too greasy, food might've been a bit rushed to make it turn out that way. Definitely a go-to for breakfast and coffee. And the environment when you walk in has very chill vibes.

this place is super swag. jimmy is charismatic (i guess). lex is the lebron james of making drinks. devan and kylie chef it up. you can sit in here comfortably and listen to music, play pokemon go, study, or read. the drinks are fire and so are the bagels. be aware of making friends with the staff though, they will laugh at you mid sandwich bite when the parasocial relationship becomes social.Dietary restrictions: pretty great vegan options (not that i would know ?)Kid-friendliness: the decor is super cute and there are tons of sweets to satisfy the little ones.

An A+ bagel shop with an impressive selection. Bagels, pastries, hot and cold drinks are all excellent, with a cool cozy atmosphere. Also a dedicated takeaway window for ordering ahead. You can tell this place is good by how popular it is!
