We also ordered some BECs to go and our friends and their children loved them. Great for the whole family! Also quick service. Plenty of seats to sit or just take out, not a long wait at all.

I arrived just before 7am on the morning of Christmas Eve and there was a line already formed that…read morecould have easily been 50-70 feet long. I waited for half hour for the line to move, before I made it inside. They still had plenty of Xmas themed bagels. I got a dozen. The staff were super nice, attentive, and worked really fast to get people in and out as soon as possible. The place itself is nice big bright and inviting. I got a half dozen of their green and red plain bagels, a Jalapeno cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese and bacon (they put lots on yum and it was crispy), and another plain holiday bagel with their Christmas bark cream cheese. These were some of the best bagels I've ever had thus far in my life. The dozen remained warm for an hour after I picked them up. They were so soft all day, from morning, well into the evening. I can't wait to go back and I'm super happy I waited in that line. My family was extremely happy to try them as well. Nice Xmas Eve morning delight.

C'mon, Bagel Bros. I wish you hadn't looked me in the eyes while handing me this bagel. And had I…read morenot been halfway down the highway by the time I'd unwrapped it, I'd have brought it back. Just look at the picture. This bagel looks like someone tried to hit it with cream cheese from thirty yards away. And mostly missed. When I sent this photo to a friend, their response was, "Wtf is that? Did you order a bagel with 1/3 cream cheese?" Indeed I did not. One year ago, this was not happening at Bagel Bros. of Shelton. My last few experiences, however, have seen a decrease in bagel size, bagel variety, and cream cheese. To be clear, I'd have been upset if I received this as a Depression-era ration. One star for the coffee, which was hot. Bagel Bros. crew: please head down the street and order a bagel and cream cheese from AM Bagel to see how the competition is packing their parking lot every single day. They spread the cream cheese on both sides with a generous portion as ALL other bagel shops do, and which, at an up charge of $2.34 per bagel in your shop, I hope you will, too. This was a great shop a year ago, but somewhere along the line it seems as if management has decided to squeeze the customer. I may try this spot again in a month or two (truly I used to frequent it), and if this is the quality I receive at that time, I will never return.

This was our first visit to Bagel Bros. I've been seeing this spot on Instagram and loved that it…read morewasnt too far. The location is simple and it is street parking for those visiting for the first time. But their bagels were DELICIOUS; It had a nice crust but the inside was also soft and not too chewy. They have an array of bagels and spreads along with breakfast sandwiches. We got our bagel quickly and we were happy campers. Definitely will be back! For more, see @sipsandsizzles on Instagram

The staff was so friendly and helpful, and they had a good variety of bagels. I got a BEC on a Spinach Bagel and it was delicious and filling! They do not play with the bacon, there's a ton. The bagels are a little smaller in general (that's my opinion, i'm originally from NJ) but they packed a lot of flavor. I got a French Toast bagel with their house made strawberry cream cheese and it was incredible. I was really impressed. They also are making homemade turnovers, the apple one was a nice treat. will definitely come back here! please note that they are currently cash only!

DeRocco's has made the move from its longtime neighborhood home in Naugatuck to a beautiful new…read morelocation in Middlebury, and I couldn't be happier for them. The new space is bright, welcoming, and much more accessible to people who may have never discovered this hidden gem before. While I wondered if something would be lost leaving that small neighborhood setting behind, it didn't take long to realize the opposite. The owners, the staff, and the loyal customers have all brought the same warmth and sense of family with them. It still feels like home. I'll admit, though, I was crushed when I learned that Taylor Ham didn't make the move to the new menu. If you read my older reviews, that's actually what brought me through their doors in the first place. It genuinely broke my heart. But loyalty goes both ways. I love this place, so instead of dwelling on what isn't there, I'm making my way through the menu looking for a new favorite. Today I tried the Jalapeño Whopper--bacon, grilled jalapeños, and cream cheese on an everything bagel. It was really good. I discovered that warm cream cheese just isn't my thing, but that's 100% on me, not the sandwich. I also ordered the Gootz: sausage, egg, provolone, sautéed mushrooms, and cherry peppers on a garlic bagel. Outstanding. I'd order that again without hesitation. I'm going to keep working my way through the menu in hopes of finding something that fills the Taylor Ham-sized hole in my heart. And even if I never do, I'll happily keep coming back for their outstanding bagels, incredible spreads, great food, and the feeling you get every time you walk through the door. And while their coffee service is a little different with the pots behind the counter, it's still fantastic. Some places serve breakfast. DeRocco's feels like home.

Food places should be clean, hygienic and polite to customers. This place will probably (hopefully) be shut down also. Read other reviews- this opinion is not alone by any means. UPDATE: To add insult to injury, we found HAIRS in our food this weekend. Since owner seems very vindictive and had no problem yelling at a poor older woman (who was in tears), I personally would not trust him around my food. BUYER BEWARE - I would not take a chance to get ill from this place. Just read a review where child went to hospital for plastic shards in DEKE smoothie damaging throat. From my observations, its a gross dirty establishment all around. WASH YOUR HANDS PLEASE.

Disclaimer I am from New York, so we know good food, especially good Italian food. When I got home it was still warm but the bread was completely soggy. Strike 1. The "meatballs" were more bread crumbs and filler than meat. It tasted nothing like beef or a meatball made of beef and pork. Strike 2. Lastly, NO flavor or seasoning at all! Just some weird taste. Absolutely disgusting! Will not order from there again.

Then came back to ask how'd I knew when it was ready. I then asked for a timeline, and they couldn't find my order, so they remade it then. Opened the whitefish sandwich, which was basically a TINY bit of whitefish, which you see only in this hole; the rest was lettuce. Really disappointing, but I've I actually came back to point it out, they remade it again. Odd, since they did it immediately and "pleasantly", but no apology or anything, as it seemed they were just in a crazy rush, lost my order, then haphazardly remade it. The cacio bagel was very fresh and tasty. Not sure I'd go back to ever deal with this again though.
