Our favorite was the ham and Swiss croissant. I will say, the cruffin was not a true muffin-croissant hybrid - it was just a croissant in the shape of the muffin. Delicious place!

Caramel and cinnamon rolls are great!…read more However, their service is terribly lacking! There is one person taking orders, making coffee, and getting pastries and one person making hot items. Wait times are long and it's painfully awkward to wait in line while the person who is supposed to take orders is making coffee right in front of you. The accuracy of hot food is marginal. We did a phone order and they messed it up. No cheese on one crepe and no egg on another. Also, they gave us two cinnamon rolls instead of two caramel rolls which I don't bother correcting. They could do a lot better having more staff and focusing and speed and accuracy of service. I'd recommend Great Harvest bakery or Grateful Bread instead if you're looking for a local place.

I had a gift card to spend and I was ready to get some bagels for my family. So I explained I had never been there before and I was choosing bagels and adding everything up to equal the gift card value, and then I experienced the MOST amazing kindness from Kenzie, one of the girls behind the counter. When I finished, she said the total was $30.95, and I said oh no, the card was only for $25, and Kenzie said "Don't worry, I can take care of the difference", and I thought wow cool, she'll adjust the price or whatever, and I went to get some water. When I turned around I saw her pull her own card from her purse and stick it in the card machine to pay the additional $5.95!!! So I was like OMG! I didn't want you to pay for part of my purchase!! So I gave her some cash, but I was absolutely blown away by her kindness towards me by being willing to cover nearly $6 of my purchase! It was truly amazing and unbelievable, and Kenzie went above and beyond and she deserves recognition and praise for her huge heart. Not just that but I left with a dozen bagels and between me and my family, there's only 4 left by this evening. They were delicious. Also there was a nice soda machine and some cute tables to sit and eat. Good job Kenzie, and good job the Bagel Co for making great bagels, and hiring amazing people with a generous heart of Gold. I definitely recommend this place!
