Tropical and relaxing vibe- you could feel like you're on a Caribbean island or in the Keys with the decor. We did their happy hour which had discounted bites and $7-9 drinks. Had a rum based and also a tequila cocktail which were made well and quite refreshing. Bartenders were friendly too. Shared the sliders and chicken satay. Both flavorful and the restaurant doesn't use seed oils I heard which is really important and nice to see. Will return for dinner because a friend said the chicken Milanese was fire!

I ordered a hot Banoffee latte to start. It was rich and creamy. Very good. Then we all shared the duo of dip crudite. It comes with muhammara and babaghanoush plus warm pita. Both dips were tasty and made with good consistency. We were able to get another round of pita as well. For entree, I got the chicken and waffles. The maple Chipotle syrup was great, unfortunately the chicken was a little over fried so it was a bit dry. Same issue with the waffles, they were hard and dry. My friends got the shakshuka which she enjoyed and the short rib benedict which was great and came on challah bread instead of an English muffin. All portions were huge and definitely shareable.

I think the price was very reasonable, since other coffee shops charge $11 for just one coffee. The inside looks small but there's enough seating, including a couch and two sofa chairs. Very cute coffee shop and feels very homey. The only thing I did not like was the lack of customer service. We went around 8 something at night. She did not even greet us and was not welcoming nor friendly when I was placing my order. Despite the lack of customer service, I liked the coffee a lot so I want to try the other locations.

Honestly very disappointed in this spot. For these two drinks I was charged 17.66$ which is absurd…read morefor quality of the drinks. I asked for less ice and less sweetness, and they failed to inform me that it costs an additional $1 for less ice. I have never heard of this happening before- I understand that you use more product, but you should inform the customer before you add that charge. My annoyance only grows as I left my drink for 15 minutes and the milk and matcha completely separated, please see the photo attached. Overall, the matcha itself was not good. It's very grainy and had no flavor. Additionally upon reviewing the menu, each "snow drink" comes with a foam topping which I was not asked about and not received. The ube taro smoothie's first sip was amazing, but every other sip tasted like ube flavored ice water. The actual boba pearls themself are taste great, but they stick together and I can't even get the drink or the boba up the straw. I wouldn't recommend coming here for the boba and I don't plan on coming back.

They also had Astro Boy playing on the bar TV! Astro Boy was also featured on their menu alongside Sailor Moon. The font and graphics on the menu gives manga. I wish I could rave about the food as much as the decor but unfortunately, it was pretty displeasing, to say the least. I had an order of the chicken Katsu Bao buns. I am a huge fan of dim sums and Bao buns (I typically don't eat the open-face ones) so this was very disappointing. The Katsu was so dry, overcooked, and chewy that it seemed like it was leftover, not fresh at all! I'll pass on Baos from here next time. The bobas were great though I got the matcha milk and my cohort got the Ube taro. They were delicious and bobalicious [they were not stingy with the boba] The cashier was very welcoming and our waitress was nice and attentive. The food alone would make this a one-star review but the boba and ambiance helped get it up to 4 stars. I recommend their Bobas, be cautious when ordering food.

Woah. Long Island bagel cafe was a pleasant surprise that we didn't know existed. We got sailor…read morewrap on spinach wrap with egg onion bagel toasted with cream cheese for togo. I also asked my fiancee to buy me chocolate fudge protein snack. The sailor wrap was so much better than what we expected. It tasted perfectly seasoned not too heavy on the sauce and all the ingredients on the inside went well together. The bagel gets 3/5 stars but that might be because we drove 40 minutes home and asked everything for togo. Next time we get to try it again, we will try it while we are there and let you guys know with an update. They had ran out of several bagel flavors when we were there, so this place must be a pretty popular stop for bagels for the locals who live there. The chocolate snack that was loaded with 10g of protein had a nice taste and texture. I will for sure get it again next time. I would recommend this place to others to try, and I would be back myself in the future! Thank you Long Island Bagel Cafe for such a great first time experience.

We decided to go with their "specialty" -- bagels. They have a dozen and half types of bagels and 20+ types of cream cheese and spreads from which to choose. I got a whole wheat bagel, toasted, with lox cream cheese spread and tomato slices on the side. Just half a bagel was more than enough -- overstuffed with the cream cheese. My husband an everything bagel toasted with sun-dried tomato jalapeño cream cheese spread. He too only ate half of his bagel along with some coffee. We shared a piece of crumb cake for dessert. The cake was so moist and the crumb topping a perfect mix of cinnamon and sugar etc. We were able to find a table inside. There's a small area with tables where you will enjoy chatting with your neighbors about what they got (the tuna was highly recommended by one lady) as tables are close together. There's a larger area on an outside patio but it was too hot today for us to be there. Service was very friendly and accommodating by everyone. They are getting popular, so plan on a short wait. You stand in line to order and then pay the same person who took your order and then prepared your food. We got some extra bagels to go. I know we will be back.

My mom and sister both had the poached egg breakfast that included a croissant , fresh fruit , and spinach with mushrooms and onions . We all enjoyed our meals . I had a lemon/ginger hot tea which I liked. The total for the three dishes , one hot tea and one cold brew was $56 . Definitely a great place to check out for breakfast/brunch or lunch.

Everything tastes fresh and homemade. The café itself is clean, the staff takes orders quickly, and the food comes out fast as well. Most of the staff speaks Russian, which is very convenient for many local families. The only downside during our visit was the gentleman cleaning the tables -- he seemed very unhappy and not very welcoming. He didn't speak English or Russian either (I believe Spanish only). The restroom could definitely use some updating. It was clean, but older, and unfortunately there never seems to be enough toilet paper or soap. The location is convenient with a large parking lot, plus there's a Russian store and TJ Maxx nearby, which makes it easy to turn breakfast into a little shopping trip.

Many of their bagels are served warm, depending on when you get there but regardless of whether they're warm or not, they're serving up some really, really good bagels. I don't expect them to be anything like a NY bagel, I'm just looking for a delicious bagel and I've found that at all the JBR stores that I've tried. My absolute favorite is the rosemary salt bagel with their onion and chive cream cheese but today I tried the jalapeño cheese bagel and the veggie cream cheese and both were delicious. I also tried the nova salmon from my son's lox box and it was great and so reasonably priced especially for lox. Servers were friendly and the place was very clean. I don't live near this JBR but if I were in the area I would definitely come back Austin

I grabbed an Asiago Everything bagel from the hot section, so it was fresh out of the oven, and it was absolutely delicious. I paired it with the scallion onion cream cheese, which was also really flavorful. My only criticism is that I wish they toasted their bagels. I know that's probably a controversial opinion, but I just prefer a toasted bagel! I was also a little disappointed that there weren't options like eggs or breakfast sandwiches. The bagel itself was excellent, but without more toppings or meal options, I don't know that it'll become a regular stop for me. Still, if you're looking for a really good fresh bagel, it's definitely worth checking out.

I finally had a day off from work, the stars aligned, and I was in the area when they were open. The bakery's friendly owner, Jason, does double duty running the register and baking all the treats. He sells croissants both sweet and savory, cinnamon rolls, cakes, coffee cakes, tarts, pies, cookies, and cupcakes. Everything is made in house with quality ingredients. He also sells espresso and specialty coffee drinks. There is a counter with some stools if you want to eat in and there is a small table outside. Based on Holly S.'s visit and recommendations I asked for a chocolate chip cookie and a slice of coffee cake. While Jason was packaging my treats I couldn't help but admire an individual carrot cake and a chocolate cupcake topped with candy bar pieces. I took my baked goods with me to be enjoyed later. When I got around to trying the cookie it was loaded with chocolate and was the perfect amount of chewiness. The large slice of coffee cake had a tender crumb and was swirled with cinnamon sugar goodness. The cake slice and cookie was only $7 which seems like a bargain compared to what some bakeries I have been to have charged. It is hard to run a small business, especially these days, so come out and support Jason. if you want to order a custom cake he needs 48 hours and you can place your order on his website.
