    Seasonal pumpkin bagel with cream cheese ($5)
    Brenna A.

    I've never had a bagel like this! Based on the other reviews, it sounds like I've never had a real east coast bagel... until now. I walked into this no frills shop, greeted my friendly employees, and tried the seasonal pumpkin bagel with cream cheese ($5). They did not play with that cream cheese! The flavor was distinctly pumpkin but not overly sweet like you might find elsewhere. The bagel had a nice crispy outside and soft, fluffy yet moist inside. I would definitely come back and enjoy another flavor or breakfast sandwich (posted for under $9).

    Put this bagel shop at the top of your bagel list. The line was long but moved quickly. The bagels come out fresh and hot. They are also as big as Frisbees and trust me, I'm not complaining. They are soft and chewy and delicious. No preservatives, either. They have just about every flavor of bagel imaginable. I am more of a traditionalist. A nice onion bagel with chive cream cheese makes me happy but you do you. The owner was working the register and has charisma for days. I felt like I made a new friend after a 30 second interaction. And here we are, enjoying the bagels 24 hours later, and they are still soft and chewy and delicious. Excellent bagels at reasonable prices and wonderful customer service.

    I never leave reviews but I just wanna start out by saying if you are charging $20 for one lox bagel not even face up I better get a pound of salmon and not 3 pieces. Employees were nice but $20 for a bagel, guys what are we doing!

    Micheal is just the greatest! He was so energetic and happy. The bagels were delicious and the service was amazing. Best guy ever!!!!

    The bagels are amazing, and the owner is probably the nicest guy I've ever met. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

    Handling cash and then not washing their hands was a deal breaker for me. I walked out without ordering my bagel.

    Do you have bialys? Hope so!!?

    Hi Gail! Thanks so much for asking - yes we do have bialys, made fresh every day. We hope you’ll come in and say hi and give them a try!

    Do you have Taylor ham / pork roll,?

    Hi Joel! Yes, we do! Hope to see you in soon!… 

    How are the bialey's? True to East Coast? Miss them.

    Not east coast. Service awful, bagels not good and way over priced. Never again, many other choices.

I went with the Coconut Cream Pie Latte, and this was such a good one. The coconut flavor actually comes through, but what really sold me was the real dried coconut on top. Such a simple detail, but it added the perfect little bit of texture and made the drink feel much more special. The salted cold foam paired really well with it too and kept the whole thing from being overly sweet. My only complaint is parking. It can definitely be a little challenging to find a spot, so give yourself some extra time if you're coming when they're busy. Cute spot, creative drinks, and I'd absolutely come back for that coconut latte again.

We popped in here last December to grab some breakfast and drinks. I was excited to try their Golden Latte and their tasty breakfast tacos. I love how the shop is open and airy. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. I really thought the shaded patio was such a peaceful spot to just sit and relax. Service was good and both my drink and breakfast were on point in terms of taste. You just can't beat west coast breakfast tacos! I saw lots of locals and tourists alike walking over or riding up on their bikes as parking is pretty limited but don't let that stop you from giving them a try.
