    Good bagel but the egg sandwich lacks the good 'ol off-the-griddle flavor from NY bagel joints I'm used to. Would love it if they could really toast their bagels and melt the cheese so its ooey-gooey.

    Great place for breakfast/brunch. Doesn't just serve bagels, but unique sandwiches on bagels, pastries, and smoothies. Good when you need a hearty breakfast to go

    Never ask for extras on to-go orders. They ALWAYS forget to add them but NEVER forget to charge.

    Don't go here. The service falls short. They create a false sense of stress and panic.
