Absolute gem. Can't lie, this is the type of place I like to gate keep! if you know you know! But…read moreno really, this place is all around A-1. One of the closest things in the area that reminds me of my summer visits to NY, waking up early to grab that bacon, egg and cheese on a roll or cream cheese on an everything bagel before tackling the day. Real homestyle type place but It's not a corner store like NY so don't expect to leave outta there with snacks (unless you like bagel chips). The location is perfect because I usually get my wife a coffee from the Dunkin' Donuts next-door right after grabbing a bagel sandwich. Clutch. The staff there are cool people. They're like the cast of a classic sitcom. Overall solid customer service. The place is always tidy and they'll either be in there playing the jams or something good on TV. My go to order is a Turkey Bacon, Egg, and Cheddar Cheese on a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel! Fire if your into to a slight sweet savory vibe. Sometimes i switch it up and go French Toast bagel. Either way, is a movie each time. Hours are 6am-2pm I believe so I try to get there early enough to catch the fresh options of bagels. Bangin'! All in all, don't walk...RUN here! Tell a friend to tell a friend then thats it. Save some bagels for me.

But they have really nice options for bagels and what appears to be homemade cream cheese options. Lots to choose from, and everyone behind the counter was friendly and knowledgeable.

The vibe is laid-back and relaxed, and the aesthetic is really cute -- great casual breakfast energy without feeling rushed. The staff was very friendly, and the place was clean, which always makes a difference. The croissant breakfast sandwiches were delicious (pro tip: add egg to the ham and Swiss). The bagels were decent -- not NY level, but still solid. The coffee was good, though they didn't have Splenda on hand, so if that's your thing you may want to bring your own. My son ordered the strawberry smoothie and a chicken wrap -- the wrap was generously sized and he really enjoyed both. Overall, a cozy neighborhood spot with good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere.
