Vibes - I really liked the interiors like just a couple of wooden tables and chairs, a shelf with books, and a little merchandise on display. The café has good street parking, which was such a relief. Bites - My husband got a bagel with eggs, and I chose a bagel with herb cream cheese. The bagels were cheap, but when I saw the size, I understood why. A bite in, I could tell they weren't the freshest. They weren't stale, just a bit drier than usual. I did, however, really like the herb cream cheese. I also ordered a mocha, which was pretty mediocre. Service - The staff was polite, though the food took a little longer than expected. I noticed some coughing while we were there, and with flu season going around, it did make me slightly concerned.

A few minutes later, coffees were handed over and we were back on the road. The Blondie was, as always, perfection. Five stars this morning. [Review 463 of 2026 - 607 in Tennessee - 25646 overall]
