When I went to pick it up and I saw they made a mistake they tried saying that I SAID happy birthday (why would I say that for an engagment party?) and I have in written emails of what i wanted on the cake. They offered to fix it, without a cake decorator present... and tried to give me this horrible monstrosity of a cake!! I wish they would have told me no cake decorator was present to fix it rather than someone who works behind the counter who isn't qualified to ice it. The workers who helped me, Kendra and Emily, ended up wiping the "happy engagement " with a different butter cream and tried to tell me its the same. You can clearly see they see differnt shades in the photo. The manager only offered half off after they ruined my cake and made me wait an hour only to be given this awful mess.

Door is wide open with no screens so the place is FULL of flies feasting on all the food - gross, but I haven't eaten all day and was so hungry. She doesn't say hello, though she gave me a look when I entered, so I'm waiting for her to acknowledge me while she wraps up food to get ready to close. I finally have to say hello to her she just looks doesn't answer, clearly I'm a bother. I said hi do you have any egg everything left - she replies 'we have what's out there' - thanks SO friendly! I said ok I'll have a egg bagel with tuna salad 'we have no tuna' ok I'll have a egg bagel with turkey, she said I don't know if he is still slicing meats. I said oh sorry, I thought you were open till three.. she walks in the back - I guess whoever 'he' was, was indeed still slicing meat she came back and rang up the sandwich - I live down the block..I open a hard crusty, old bagel with turkey - I'm most definitely a NY Bagel snob but I can suck up a crappy bagel if need be but this was so hard I might break a veneer - no thanks, I ended up throwing the bagel out and just ate some turkey.. Trust me, I don't make up reviews, don't waste your money - there are so many better places that WANT your business. The only reason I gave two stars is that 'he' sliced the turkey for me and it was not skimpy so I was able to eat some turkey.

It's a family run, seasonal shop and I wish them well but I think they need to clean up their act a bit and enter the modern era.
