    Tea and chocolate chip cookie.

    A nice little breakfast spot with a friendly, small-town feel. There was definitely a sense that some of the customers were regulars. We also happened to be there on a Monday, which is their free coffee day, and they give free cookies for customers to pick up after ordering and paying. Really good selection of classic American breakfast items; I was impressed they had sourdough toast as one of the toast options.

    Breakfast bowl with a Coffe and lemon water

    *If you haven't figured it out from previous reviews .. you must go to the counter upon entering to place an order. I personally really enjoy this place, I've tried it for breakfast and lunch . I really liked the breakfast bowl which had sausage, eggs, peppers, cheese and hash-browns with a Coffee, was very filling. For lunch I had the make your own burger with provolone cheese, peppers, mushrooms, onions, lettuce and various other toppings and a basket of fries for 11$ was awesome!! They also have serve yourself lemon or cucumber soaked water which I really enjoyed also, very happy with the food and service.

    Love that you a grab your own coffee cup & fill er' up.

    Very long wait for food. If your hungry you might want to look elsewhere. You order and sit and wait.

    I ordered 1 breakfast plate- just a traditional breakfast. It has been 1 hour and 10 minutes and I am still waiting. Terrible service.

    This is a great old fashioned diner in the heart of PA. The pancakes are awesome and the price is right.

    Nothing spectacular... Very bland. Rude workers and flavourless food. I though I was in England. Never again.

    Firstly, I want to get something out of the way. I am a genuine New York City/New Jersey Bagel…read moresnob. My experience with Bagels hails back to the old H&H on the West Side of Manhattan on Broadway. They had a world-class shipping business which the owner squandered with drugs and tax evasion. What a pity. My second favorite place in New York is Best Bagels and Coffee in Hells kitchen. Fantastic. So here I find myself moving to the Pittsburgh area and wondering if these people know anything about Bagels. I visited a place called Pigeon Bagels. The lines were down the block on a Sunday morning for that place. The bagels were just ok. They were not super bagels like New York City. They were certainly not worth waiting a half an hour to get a dozen bagels that were just ok. So I had my son bring out five dozen bagels from New Jersey the other day. That'll hold me over. Doing my Bagel surveillance, I found out there was a place in Butler that claimed to have New Jersey bagels. This morning I checked it out with very little hope of believing the hype. I had an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese, onion, and tomato. My wife tried the blueberry bagel. To my utter surprise, the sandwich was really good! If you look at my other reviews, you'll see I can be brutal when it comes to reviewing Bagels. As someone who used to live in New Jersey and who used to frequent H&H bagels, having lived in Manhattan, this baby is the real deal. The real McCoy. The genuine article. You get my point. I'll be coming to Downtown Bagels often. The price for the individual bagels are on the high side by over a dollar, but the sandwich prices are very reasonable. I'm going to give this place two thumbs up.

    I love this family's dedication to fresh tasty food. The menu is amazing, you can dine in or take…read moreout. It's all fresh so call early - sometimes they sell out
