    On a road trip and decided to verge off a bit to visit Blues Cafe. So glad I did! The server was friendly, very patient with my traveling companion who asked a lot of questions and answered all with a smile or chuckle. They have a signature type of bagel called crunch which was delicious especially if you're someone who likes seeds and a lot of texture. The sandwich itself-Popeye is a great choice. They did not have any pork alternative options so that would a nice add but veggie options were available. Initially I was going to order a hot coffee but they do not offer mugs for dining in so went with the Mocha Crunch instead and it was delicious! If I'm ever traveling through again I'll be revisiting.

    Burnt pizza bagel

    Ordered pizza bagels. They were burnt and tasted dry and disgusting. There was not much sauce or cheese. They used to be good. Maybe get a new oven.

    Came to Patterson for work and never been here before. I had some doubts but honestly love the little downtown area and Blues Cafe made it so much more. Stopped for some coffee and a little something to eat. I got an iced coffee and a bagel sandwich. The sandwich was hot and tasty! The coffee was great and the employees were kind and helpful. They literally walked us through what they recommended and the choices we had. I would come back over and over again for the friendly vibes and kind people. It was definitely a cozy spot to relax.

    Great Food! Exceptional People! Would definitely recommend!! Quaint little while in the wall!

The blueberry bagel was EXTREMELY tough, a croissant sandwich did not have a croissant, it was a bagel. The only good item I had was their signature fancy bagel which was ACTUALLY good. If I recommend anything from here, it's a savory bagel sandwich.

The bagels themselves were actually good very fresh, and you could tell the bread was nice, fluffy, and soft even after being toasted. That part was definitely the highlight. However, the coffee bar area where the fountain drinks are located was extremely dusty. It looked like nothing had been moved or cleaned under or around it in a long time. The soda fountain machine itself also appeared like it hadn't been cleaned recently. While ordering, I could also see the cutting board behind the counter and it's no longer white, it's basically gray from buildup. That definitely needs a deep clean. Service was also disappointing. When we walked in, we greeted the staff but some had AirPods in and didn't acknowledge us. The main cashier saw us standing there but didn't respond right away. We ordered breakfast bagels and waited about five minutes, which was actually pretty quick. When we finished and were leaving, we said "thank you, have a good day," and no one responded. That was honestly a little sad because this place really has potential. Overall: 2 stars. The bagel was decent, but with the cleanliness issues and lack of customer service, I probably won't be back.

Like others have said, you have to go home and finish making it yourself basically. Don't be fooled by these glowing reviews, all these young girls working there treat *THEIR* friends who come in very well! Which is why they probably have good reviews. I'm assuming the owner doesn't care that his employees horrible customer service which is sad. He had a good thing going at first. Unfortunately today is the last time I will spend my money there. To be specific, the big tall girl working there at 3 PM with her bad attitude. If you want to spend $10 on a frozen pastry and $10 more on a half a** made coffee with horrible customer service, this is your spot!

While i wait for my fur baby to be done I pick up coffee at a new place each time. It's a cute little coffee shop with limited seating. On a Sunday morning, the seats were all taken (ok for me, didn't plan on staying). Upon walking in there was no greeting, no" hello, welcome in" by any of the four people standing behind the counter. But that's not why I'm giving it two stars. As I sat and waited for my order to be prepared the person who took my order ('K' name) sat down just behind the register and was on her phone and sucking on her fingertips! She has just boxed my order, I took it and left but won't be eating it because who knows if she'd been nibbling on her hands prior to my order. 1 for my coffee which was good. 1 star for one of the employees who said "bye, have a nice day".

    Ok I do like the bagels here but I might not come back for a while…read more. We came on a Saturday around 10:30am and there was a longgg line outside. We waited about 25-30min. The shop is quite small inside with no tables so it's to-go only. We got: - Ube Almond (5/5): this was my personal favorite but the almond flavor is strong so if you don't like almond you may want to skip this - Cali Roll (5/5): Really good! However if I had to choose between this and a california sushi roll, I would probably just go for sushi tbh haha - Miso Scallion (4/5): Their seasonal AAPI month flavor. I couldn't really taste the miso scallion. It just tasted like cream cheese to me. But my husband really liked this one! Also, I'd like to note that we happened to get their last Ube Almond of the day (I felt bad hearing them tell the party after us it was sold out now). So I would recommend arriving earlier than we did. Overall, while the bagels did taste good, they were all VERY oily. Like oil literally drips out as you squeeze the bagel. So they're quite heavy to eat in the morning and not something I would get often.

While waiting we joked that the bagels must be hella messy if there's only wet wipes on the counter, no normal napkins. We had no idea how right we were. Very greasy bagels (to be expected, if they're dipped in butter). I make fun of my boyfriend for sometimes using a fork and knife with pizza -- this is a fork-knife bagel. Pork floss was delish, tons of butter and garlic flavor, soft and slightly sweet bagel, good mix of textures. The corn was a surprise...flavor wise it works, but it falls out all over the place. Fork definitely recommended. Bf's garlic Asiago was just as greasy, more garlicky, and I didn't think it was any better than a typical cheesy garlic bread. I would skip that one. It was good, don't get me wrong, it just didn't seem special or worthwhile. These bagels seem more gimmicky than anything. Good, but overpriced. Probably won't return.
