As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

I went with their Member of the Tribe which is one of their more popular items. The sliced Nova and toppings were fresh and flavorful. I found the bagel to just be OK as I have had better elsewhere in the City. Overall, I'd happily return when I'm in the area for another breakfast sandwich. Good food & friendly service made for a very enjoyable start to the day.

Everything tasted phenomenally good. Miguel had given me samples of some food so I could make a decision about what to purchase. This place is not the cheapest, but you're paying for top quality. You can't go wrong here. My customer experience was exceptional.

Their bagels respect a smaller, traditional size standard that retains a tight, chewy crumb with a glossy, snappy exterior that structurally anchors the fish without collapsing under pressure. The structural integrity of their sandwich is flawless because the fish is hand-sliced by master cutters who understand grain physics. The salmon melts away on the bite at the exact same velocity as the cream cheese and the chewy bagel skin, preventing the interior ingredients from violently squirting out the back of the sandwich. This place is piece of actual New York history that treats engineering and ingredients with respect.

I was in the neighborhood looking for a bagel place to eat and a nice person recommended this spot…read more So I went there to try them out. It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say. Ambiance: 3/5 standers bagel shop nothing really impressive or spectacular. I will say when in the area due to the lack of places to eat that make REAL food. I have come back here and the bagels have been decent. Would like the staff to be more pleasant.
