We stopped for a quick brunch. I ordered a bagel, with an egg, and a side of fresh fruit…read more Let me tell you, the freshly made, warm, "everything" bagel was so tender! The cream cheese spread easily and the scrambled egg was perfectly cooked. The fresh fruit salad was so delicious. The combination of pineapple, cantaloupe, melon and sliced oranges were so fresh. Free parking just outside the door.

I have been going to this bagel shop for over 25 years. It…read morewas owned by John Marx. It was great. He sold the store to a new owner and at first everything seemed OK. But then slowly everything changed. He reconstructed it to where you order at one place and pick up at another. Ok. New staff, one or two of the original people are there.M The new staff have NO customer service skills. Consistently, always have an attitude when you go to the cash register they look at you like they hate you. They have no training in Customer Service greeting, smiling thanking you for your business. None whatsoever and if they were trained, they're not using the skills when no one's watching them. Slowly the prices went up and up and up, which is true of everywhere , but at one point their prices for their tiny baked goods were insane . It appears maybe they lowered some , but you can't walk out of there without spending a lot of money. Also, they changed the tuna recipe which was their classic number one signature tuna. They're now using a cheaper fish or tasting brand. It's more liquidy and it's a completely different taste. Fishy It's not good. I might as well make it at home I can use albacore instead of their cheap tuna. Their pastries are *tiny and overpriced. They have raised prices ok but they drastically cut the portions they give you . It's half the amount of food that Marks is is known for . Marxx is known for its overstuffed Bagels - no more but they are charging more for much less food. If you're going to charge a lot, at least give the same amount of portions that people who have been loyal customers are used to. Also, they bought bigger containers, but they put less in them. It's so obvious when you buy loose tuna or loose cream cheese it's in a different bigger container with less food in it. Overall, I feel the place is completely gone down downhill! the things that were known for like the tuna the over stuffed sandwiches being able to feel like you got a good meal with a nice portion. All of that is gone. They're inconsistent with the portion sizes they give you and sometimes it's just not even enough. I had ordered containers of cream cheese with salmon in it and tuna and I had company over and what normally lasted did not because there's so much less food in the containers. Unfortunately, the tuna does not taste good anymore and he's probably buying something other than albacore to save money. People notice what you're doing they see that everything is being cut, and that the taste is changing the bagels are much smaller but are higher in carbohydrates . I go to Skip's now as well, and Skip's has much bigger softer. Bagels and their food is actually improved and I still like the salmon cream cheese and a lot of of the food at Mark's and allow myself to go there, but I don't go there as often.

I stopped by for a quick lunch during the week and wanted an easy to-go sandwich. They have a medium sized menu but a lot of different options which makes it a bit hard to pick haha! I decided on a reuben sandwich with all of the fixens inside. I was surprised that I was the only one in there because of the amount of rave reviews. It was a small quaint little place. The employees were suppperrrr nice and gave me a lot of time to think about my order. The vibes in there were very cool with fun music and just overall a good time. Now onto the Reuben. Holy cow! It was juicy and very flavorful, with the perfect amount of sauerkraut. The bread was toasty and the sandwich was nice and warm but not too hot. I think this will be a new spot for me for lunch!

I tried the Brown Bear latte with almond milk which was sooo delicious along with the everything bagel croissant with chive cream cheese. My God on today it was absolutely amazing!

There is metered street parking downtown and they get really busy on the weekends and sell out very quickly so I would recommend trying them during the week when it's more calm.
