    a display of candy
    Dan C.

    Meh. It's like stepping into a 7 Eleven to buy some Skittles ($3.59!), maybe some Doritos, and - hey look! - there are some bagels!! Why not get those instead of pretzel rods? Seriously, this place isn't worth raves... unless the comparative landscape really is that bleak. The bagels are barely serviceable, the cream cheese selection mediocre. But the holes ripped into the ceiling sheetrock and the layers of dirt caking the neon signs do provide some interesting eye candy. Maybe it would be better to count the number of potato chip brands being sold...

    1oz bag of chips for 50 cents, and the bagels are amazing. My favorite is the one where they put cream cheese and lox

    Though I think that I messed up big time by not ordering the whitefish salad.

    Unbelievable lack of quality control. The moment I opened the foil, it smelled completely burnt,…read moreand as you can see in the photo, half the bagel is completely charred black. It's baffling that a kitchen would wrap this up and serve it. I tried calling to fix the issue, but the phone just rings out. Horrible food and zero customer service. Never again!

    I typically come in here only when I'm the area. The establishment is always clean and opens early…read moream 5am which is a such a plus if you work extremely early in the morning. As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

    I mean there's a reason they've been around as long as they have. This is old school jewish deli…read morelove in the best way possible. I asked for their advice on what kind of lox to order and they cut me a healthy slice to try of each. And the lox is to die for. The nova is the classic, but also got some gravlax and the pastrami lox. All had their unique flavors that were distinctly different. Amazing! And yes ~$60/pound is expensive, but it's artisan, hand carved and they even cut out the little bit of blood line so every bit is perfect. It's worth the splurge every once in a while. I will say though the bagels there were just meh unfortunately. Kinda average and on this day below average if you ask me. So ideal...get your bagel somewhere else like Bagel Pub or Utopia and then get your lox here!

    Made the effort to finally try this famous establishment after it existing on my bookmarks for who…read moreknows how long. It was about a 20 minute wait from enter the shop, grabbing a ticket, waiting for your number to be called, ordering the sandwich, getting the food and paying. Waiting for your number to be called happens faster than you think as people do drop out like flies, so just be patient. If you order yourself a Classic Bagel & Lox Sandwich ($17) like I did, you can watch them filet the salmon fresh from the fish itself to be used just for your sandwich. I did everything bagel and choose Scallion cream cheese, which seems like the popular choice. It's good enough to go out of the way to try once in your life. To be a repeat customer, idk if I want to wait in line for this every weekend. Additionally, there's no seating besides the benches that's outside. I do have to give it to them, among the chaos, the employee that helped me was super friendly. I also saw some of the customers get salmon samples of the salmon for the lox. Idk if they asked or the employee just happened to be offering it.

    I was in the neighborhood looking for a bagel place to eat and a nice person recommended this spot…read more So I went there to try them out. It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say. Ambiance: 3/5 standers bagel shop nothing really impressive or spectacular. I will say when in the area due to the lack of places to eat that make REAL food. I have come back here and the bagels have been decent. Would like the staff to be more pleasant.

    This place is definitely a go to for bagels. The bagels are soft and delicious. Bagels are fresh…read moreand plentiful. They have many options available, and I do not believe there can be a bad combination. Orders are done quickly, so its great if you just need to get something fast.
