Bagels are fine but the sandwiches are quite bland. I had the Raquel and it had zero flavor and was nothing but oil. Gross!

Look, I get that stuff is just expensive now, AND restaurant owners expect patrons to pay their employees through inflated tips instead of paying a livable wage, so this has nothing to do with the employees, but this might have been the most disappointing breakfast I’ve had, maybe ever, and I’ve cooked myself some forgettable meals. A $15 “burrito” containing eggs, potato’s and bacon, which was the size of maybe both my thumbs pressed together and $5 cup of stale drip coffee while being asked to tip 22% + for counter service is just poor form. Service was nice, but quality was mediocre and quantity considering the cost was criminal. Stay home, save money and invest in your cooking skills.

As an avid bagel eater, this has been one of the absolute most delicious places I’ve ever tried! Krystal was also super sweet, welcoming, and patient with us out-of-towners. Although this little place was tucked away, it had a very calm and clean atmosphere. Whether you live here or visiting, I HIGHLY recommend trying this bagel shop!

This place certainly had bagels. The bagels themselves were appropriately put together, especially considering the low standard in this region. Some points are getting taken off for the lack of toasting (requested). The breakfast burrito was in fact a burrito with eggs in it, however it left some room to be desired. It had an excess of potatoes and an absence of flavors. I liked the red sauce. The interior choices were just fine. Scrambling eggs on a bacon egg and cheese is borderline hateful. Will return. The coffee was in fact brown.

I ordered a bagel sandwich thinking it would be hot, and not cold deli meat considering the description. Everything tasted wonderful, and the service was pretty quick considering how busy they were. I will say the sandwich descriptions didn’t help me out in ordering correctly for my dietary needs.

Giant Audrey breakfast burrito was a bit smaller than a chipotle/qdoba burrito but costs $19.75 - and the only thing I tasted was oily potatoes. I did an eye-ball break down of the burrito by separating all of the ingredients to estimate the calories and mine was around 40% potato, 30% egg, 15% steak, 10% cheese, and 5% jalapenos/scallions (plus the tortilla). Compared to breakfast burritos with basically the same ingredients (maybe no scallion), this one was underwhelming. I don't understand why so many folks like this place.

Yikes- my partner just waited 45 min for a bagel, untoasted (because the toaster was broken), with cream cheese on the side. He was told that they “have to go in the order of the tickets” and when they finally called his name, staff acted like it had been sitting there for awhile. It hadn’t been. Third disappointing experience here… won’t be going back.

I always get takeout here so can’t speak on the dining but their bagels are so good! They are quick and accurate. I’d recommend getting extra cream cheese too if you’re used to or like it pretty heavy on the cream cheese.

Their menu has changed a little since when I first started coming here but the food is still good! Service is slower due to how busy they are but I’m glad to see them doing well

Update (June 2025):
While still a good local breakfast spot, in the year or so between coming here, the quality of the biscuit sandwiches in particular has changed. The biscuit was no longer flaky and dense as it was before and the sandwich had less ingredients compared to the first time coming here. The photo comparison shows a good idea of what it was vs what it is. Considering the consistency the first 3 times being here, I am bummed at the downturn. The bagel sandwich is still great and it is still one of the best everything bagels around.

Review March 2024:
Good enough to come here three days in a row. Parking is street only which is probably the only bad thing as ordering is quick and service is quick and efficient. Fresh ingredients and a tasty way to start your day. The hello macnasty is particularly delicious with the hot honey and biscuit. Would recommend if you’re in the area and looking for some crave worthy breakfast items.
