Under new ownership, Clara and her team have brought a whole new energy to D&R. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely excited to have me there. Customer service like this is becoming rare, and it really stood out. One thing that surprised me was the size of the space. The photos online made it look like a tiny hole-in-the-wall bagel shop, but it's actually much larger than expected with plenty of seating. Even though it was busy and crowded during my visit, the line moved quickly and efficiently. As for the food, I came hungry. I tried the Korean BBQ on a sesame bagel, corned beef with mustard on an everything bagel flat, The Kyle on a blueberry bagel, a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese, and a pretzel bagel with cream cheese. I also sampled the buffalo chicken wrap, a hot coffee, and a caramel macchiato. The Korean BBQ was easily one of the most unique bagel sandwiches I've had and a standout menu item. Everything tasted fresh, portions were generous, and there are plenty of creative options you won't find at your average bagel shop. I've seen older reviews mention a lack of coffee options, but that's no longer the case. The coffee menu has been expanded, and the Iced caramel macchiato was a pleasant surprise! I also loved how they had Pepsi AND Coca-Cola PLUS Snapple! If you haven't visited since the ownership change, it's worth giving D&R another shot. The combination of friendly service, creative menu options, great coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like a completely reimagined local favorite.

It was like watching a well oiled machine in action. The atmosphere instantly felt nostalgic and brought me right back home to the hustle and bustle of New York City What stood out immediately was the staff. Even though they were incredibly busy, every single person was friendly and took the time to greet customers as they walked through the door. That kind of hospitality is becoming rare these days, and it did not go unnoticed. I also had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, who was an absolute delight. As someone who regularly interacts with business owners, I can confidently say this owner is a gem. Genuine, approachable, and incredibly responsive. qualities that are harder and harder to find these days. The bagels themselves are made fresh every day starting at 4:00 a.m., and they're even cut on-site right in front of you when you order them. You can truly taste the difference! During my visit, I tried the Pizza Bagel with pesto cream cheese paired with The Heights. I also had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch with sweet cream cheese and the OG. Every single one was outstanding. And this next part almost pains me to admit as a lifelong New York bagel loyalist... I think I like JB Bagelry's bagels better than any bagel I've had in New York. Yes, I said it. As someone who has spent years insisting that New York has the best bagels in the world, this was not an easy conclusion to come to. But these bagels are simply that good. In fact, they were so good that we came back the very next day!!!!! If you're anywhere near Cleveland, do yourself a favor and go. JB Bagelry isn't just serving great bagels, it's delivering the kind of experience that keeps people coming back.

You'll find interesting bagel flavors here (such as egg, cinnamon cranberry, and onion) and merch (tees, hoodies, Mish Mosh seasoning, greeting cards, and stickers). My order: - Asiago Bagel - Toasted with Smokie Salmon Schmear ($5) - Bagel was over toasted, dry, and too salty. Schmear was more like lightly whipped cream cheese, not flavorful. Barely there salmon is the best way to describe it. - Cinnamon Cranberry Bagel with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Schmear ($5) - Bagel tasted like plain bagel. Schmear very light on flavor. - Mish Mosh Bagel ($2) - Plain, not toasted. It's their version of everything bagel. I ordered this bagel because I overheard it being a popular choice while waiting for my order. It's way too salty, and I love salt. It didn't taste freshly made this morning and tasted not fully made inside. - Coffee ($2.50 for 2 small coffees): Flavorless and barely warm coffee. The menu is pretty well outlined on multiple signs at checkout. It clearly indicates up charges and premium topics. If you purchase bagels dozen, you'll get one bagel for free. Other options are sammies, bialy wheels, and bialy sticks. Most customers ordered baker dozen during my visit. Service: Service was alright. I felt a lot of pressure to order (especially as the first timer). Other guests were pretty rushed too. Checkout did not make much sense too. If you order a dozen bagels, they'll take your order in line. If you order a single bagel with schmear or sandwiches, you must go to the checkout counter and repeat your entire order. Service was quick, my order was up quickly and all customers were addressed in a timely manner. Parking: Parking lots are available in the front and the back of the store. The bagel shop is in a little strip mall area. If you're looking for a wallet-friendly bagel, this is the place to be. If you're looking for bold flavors or more standard bagel experience, it's probably best to venture out. I unfortunately personally didn't enjoy any part of my meal but appreciated the low prices.

They had a display full of tasty looking pastries and treats, however the drink menu was limited. Wasn't in the mood for coffee, so I opted for a pelligrino but the drink options were kind of limited. The atmosphere was fine and seemed very neighborly. They brought my salad to me and it came with a nice toasted roll. I ate the salad later and it was very tasty. I liked the honey mustard dressing. I was a little annoyed because most other guest had left by about 1:25 and at this time I started feeling very rushed out. One of the girls brought me a to-go box and mentioned that they would be leaving soon. I was in the middle of a meeting that went until 1:45. It said they closed at 2, but by 1:35 the constant looking and coming by made me feel like I better pack up and get out right then. I work in the service industry, so I get wanting to leave and even the excitement of potentially getting out early because all guests are gone, but this was nearly 30 minutes before their stated close time. I double checked because I felt crazy, everything says 2. I finally just got up and finished my meeting on the tables outside and the door was swiftly closed behind me. It just felt kind of rude and off putting. I planned to take more pictures and grab a pastry after my meeting, but I was pushed out.

The only reason I gave them a 2 was because our server (when she finally showed up) tried hard to be sweet. I was a little apprehensive when we walked in and there was only two guys in the whole place, and they were drinking their lunch. We seated ourselves, because there was no one at the door and no instructions, so we didn't know what else to do. We sat in clear view of the bar so the bartender, who was the only employee visible, could see us easily. She glanced over a couple times, tinkered around behind the bar, and talked on her phone. But never acknowledged us. We decided to sit for up to 5 minutes and if nothing happened we would just leave. Finally, the establishment's sole employee wandered over with menus and water and thanked us for being patient... Really? My wife ordered a breakfast sandwich and I ordered a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese and honey. We both ordered coffee. Our food showed up quickly enough. My wife's looked and tasted pretty good. Mine showed up as a toasted bagel with honey... no cream cheese? Our server was kind enough to bring me my cream cheese when I requested it. And the bagel was okay after that. I could tell just looking at it that the coffee was going to be a real experience. It was as black as tar. And even after 3 creams, that's exactly what it tasted like... Tar. It was horrible! I don't know what to tell you. Other people seemed to like this place. Who am I to argue with their experience. All I can tell you is my experience was terrible. We're writing this place off.

While I understand the stress of being short-staffed, the attitudes and lack of respect we encountered at the begining of our time there were so jarring that I feel it is my obligation to share my experience as a warning. I came in with a group of elderly and special needs family members, all of us grieving after a funeral. We had called a day in advance and again the day of to confirm a party of 8 to 10 people. Upon arrival, a server greeted us sharply, saying, "You're just going to have to wait." This wasn't an issue for us. I was confused on the attitude though, as we just walked through the door. We ended up with only 8 people, so perhaps they were simply removing the extra chairs or just busy. We were seated, and our server, a different woman, immediately appeared unhappy to be serving our group: scrunched face, pursed lips. She took drink orders from the first half of the table, then returned to take the second half. At that point, she snapped, "I don't have all day to run back and forth because you're not ready to order!" This was the only time she approached the second half of the table, where we provided our drink orders quickly. Upon returning with our drinks, she set them onto the table with haste/force. I tried to be as efficient as possible when gathering some of our party's meal orders, hoping to avoid giving any more reason for her to be unkind to my vulnerable family members. During the meal, I mentioned to my table how there are jobs available that do not require kindness and patience, I believe I was overheard by the server, as the tone of the service shifted noticeably after that. I want to give her credit for "turning around" her attitude. On top of the disappointing service, there was a pervasive, foul odor throughout the back half of the restaurant that smelled of old urine. It was overpowering, and one could find relief by simply by going into the bathrooms which smelled clean. It seemed to be coming from the booths or carpet, as it lingered throughout the seating area. As someone who works in elder care, I can tell you that I would never allow such a smell in any care facility let alone exprct it from a restaurant. This restaurant clearly needs to address its interior, not only for hygiene but for the comfort of patrons. To make matters worse, the ceiling vents had a black dirt, mold-like substance around them, and several ceiling tiles were loose. It's hard not to wonder if a cleaner and healthier environment might improve the overall attitude of the staff. On a positive note, the food was decent for the price. I can understand why this place attracts older patrons, but I sincerely hope others do not experience the same level of service we did during our visit.
