$5.25 for a toasted bagel with butter and this is what they give me- cold bagel, cold butter in a plastic dish. Bagel is solid size but still worse than Breugers. Would be disappointed even if I paid half as much.

Great bagels but they often are packed and run out of items.

It shouldn’t take an hour to make a bagel with cream cheese

This place is a gem in downtown Madison! The old-school New York vibe is super cool….felt like I stepped into a little slice of NYC. The bagels? Unreal. Best I’ve ever had, hands down. Fresh, perfectly chewy, and packed with flavor.
And Joey, the owner, is a total legend. Super friendly and full of personality. You can tell he really cares about what he’s doing. I’ll definitely be back!

Gotham Bagels in Madison hits the spot. As an East Coaster, I can tell they're doing it right - the bagels are great. It's my top choice for bagels in the area.

Just not a particularly friendly environment for getting a bagel and It's not really well understood if It's a bit or if ordering food is not something you're welcome to do.

Manager was so rude to myself and the people behind me. They messed up my order and I was told to ā€œdeal with itā€ . People behind me were charged double and the manager told them he could give them half the food to make up for it. He said this while laughing at them. So unprofessional

I previously wrote a review about my experience but I am updating it because the Manager Jeremy did in fact call me.

I will note he called after I made my review BUT nonetheless, they forgot the egg on my sand-which and they called and refunded the entire sand-which.

He apologized for any kind of unpleasant experience I may have had and was honestly pretty understanding for the most part. I can’t speak for anyone else and their experience but I appreciate how they handled this situation for me so in my opinion it’s a pretty decent place.

someone needs to tell them that copious amounts of pretzel rock salt don’t go on everything bagels

Food was just alright. I even gave it a second try after my first experience was quite negative. Second experience was not an improvement.
That owner is horrible to their staff, rude to customers, and constantly parks in the handicap spot. Such negative energy. I feel so sorry for the employees!
Will never go back, and will NEVER recommend.

I fully admit, as a former NYer, I can be a bagel snob. The bagels here are ok. Not great, but not bad. The service is remarkably slow. I’ve been here a few times and I’m not quite sure why it takes so long to get a bagel. In NYC, there could be a line out the door and you’d probably get your bagel faster than here. But the worst part was that on a recent trip, I got a bagel that was supposed to have tomato and bacon and found out a few bites into it, that it had lox/salmon (it was under the tomatoes, and blended in, so I missed it at first). Which might not be a big deal to some folks, but I don’t eat salmon. Such a bummer to get home only to find that your $9.00 bagel is now a waste.

I know accidents happen, which is why I gave a 3 instead of a 1 for food/service, but it was disappointing nonetheless.

The best bagel in town is still a bad bagel - maybe mediocre on a good day. The lox is awful. They charge $9.50 for cream cheese and lox - ask for capers and onions and it goes up to $14.25. Pickle is limp and sad. This isn’t that relevant, but the decor is confusing (midwesterners won’t understand why, but iykyk)
