    Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte and Brazilian Sunrise Smoothie
    Matthew W.

    It's about average for a cafe. Not too bad, but nothing I'd really remember. The Brazilian Sunrise was sloggy and thick, even for a smoothie; it was slightly colder than room temperature but not necessarily sweet nor refreshing. Overall, I liked the size and price of the drinks, but probably wouldn't return again.

    Everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. Iced Latte with oat milk.
    Glennis M.

    Delicious! We got bagels and croissants and a smoothie and huge iced lattes with just the right amount of creamer. The staff is so friendly and accommodating (made the smoothie to my son's liking) and they have a lovely little back garden that we couldn't use because it had just rained, but it's the spot that counts. We brought our small dog in and it wasn't an issue...10/10 would recommend.

    The Bronx Bagel

    idk how this place has so many good reviews. bagel was so thin, worst açaí bowl i've ever tasted. it tasted like cardboard. crazy. ambiance mid, backyard area disgusting. idk if ppl actually eat out there but i personally wouldn't. nutella latte was good tho

    Bagel with your choice of spread, veggie cream cheese
    Bre Y.

    I ordered The Green Bowl, a spinach/kale/mango/banana/vanilla yogurt base, topped with granola, kale, blueberries, flax, and coconut flakes. I requested to sub the kale topping for strawberries, which they did! I've had this bowl twice from here and it is a favorite breakfast order for sure. I also had a vanilla iced latte, which had a great balance of sweetness vs. espresso. I also ordered a sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese. The bagel was a bit stale, and the veggie cream cheese was a large amount of shredded carrot and chunks of cucumber in a cream cheese that was very, wet? Almost like the texture of mayo in a coleslaw type salad. It didn't taste bad per say, but I didn't enjoy it. Perhaps an off instance, I will still be back at least for other items!

    Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, red rocker smoothie, and house blend small.
    Cristina G.

    I love this place! Staff is friendly and fast. Our order was great. We got a small house blend, everything bagel scallion and cream cheese (it was yummy!) , and a red rockers smoothie. They also have vegan option for food. It is great for working remotely. Good wifi connection. Our table had a USB outlet integrated in it, lots of wall outlets, comfortable sitting and different types. Dog friendly!

    Iced Nutella Latte, Brooklyn Bagel
    Trisha D.

    Nice quaint cafe with plenty of cozy seats and good lighting. Would be a great place to work out of quietly. Good drinks and bagels as well. Iced Nutella Coffee: SO SO good. But too much espresso for me as I'm not a coffee drinker. Every sip came with a shot of Nutella as well. Loved it! Brooklyn Bagel (cream cheese, tomato, avocado, pesto): tasty but next time I'll go with another one due to personal preference. It was filling and the bagel to content ratio was good. Ambience: chi vibe and perfect for working COVID precaution: sanitizer available and plenty of space

    Cold Brew Iced Coffee Banana walnut muffin (vegan)
    Jose F.

    Delicious bagel cafe! I had the vegan banana muffin and smoked salmon bagel and they were both really delicious! They have a good selection of different types of bagels and coffee offered. To wash down my delicious breakfast, I had their cold brew coffee which was pretty good as well. I had a bite of my friends avocado+cream cheese bagel and that was super tasty as well. I would definitely come back!

    Came here for the first time around noon on a weekday and there was plenty of seating including a large backyard area with seating. It's a spacious cafe with many styles of seating to choose from. The food as also delicious and affordably priced! I ordered the Bronx bagel which was very yummy and a juice that I didn't enjoy as much but it wasn't bad. I ended up staying for hours here working - quite a few people were there doing the same thing. Would definitely recommend this cafe and the cushioned window seat for an ideal experience.

    SO FRESH! This little cafe has super fresh ingredients and so many great bagel options. The juice and smoothies are also super fresh from real fruit. Perfect for a morning breakfast or a quick lunch. They also have some nice seating options inside as well! Go check it out!

    This was our first bagel stop during our trip and wow were we immediately impressed. This was such a great introduction to NY bagels for two Californian girls. We got the premade bagel sandwiches, matcha latte, and an iced latte. The iced latte was strong beyond belief, easily the best iced latte. The matcha latte was lacking a bit but everything else was just so good it almost doesn't matter. The ambience of this place is also really cute and their patio is perfectly tucked away to make a quiet little reading corner.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.

Baristas were solid, price was right, everything was grand... I don't know what has happened in the last 6-9 months but I've had to stop coming here full stop. The drink I would always order and am intimately familiar with now tastes fundamentally different--burnt. And not in a dark roast way I would opt into... burnt in a non-intentional way. I don't know if something's up with the espresso machine plumbing that's burning the espresso, if the quality of the roast/beans have changed (doubt it), or if the microbiome of the ice machine is off--but the coffee now always tastes burnt in a way it never did before...and all my friends agree! I sincerely lament that this is the case and I check every 6 weeks or so to see if the espresso machine has been tuned up or something... but once again my cup was not tasty yesterday :/ !! I still go to other variety locations around the city and everything is ok elsewhere. I wasn't going to say anything but I'm just exhausted of not being able to get my reasonably priced, reliably good iced espresso drink when I get off at dekalb so I'm speaking up! For what its worth, I used to be a barista so I'm not just chatting, I sincerely want better for us all!! @Variety please just like get your guy to check the espresso machine or something IDK but summer's around the corner!
