Missing egg and Canadian bacon for my breakfast sandwich.
Melissa M.

I really hate to leave bad reviews, but when you are left with an experience that ruins your morning I feel obligated to to inform other customers. This morning my sister-in-law and I were hoping to have a breakfast sandwich and coffee for watching church this morning. We landed on the ultimate bagel because I was looking for something "more" than just a coffee stand frozen sandwich. We drove all the way there for it because I thought it would be worth it. Instead I was severely disappointed. First of all, the blonde lady working behind the counter was extremely rude to us. She made us feel unwelcome and that it was a burden that we were there. I'm not going to make assumptions about why that is but she clearly rolled her eyes at us. I hope this lady owns the business and is willing to offend customers at the sake of the profitably of the company. However, if she is an employee the owner needs to be made aware. I ordered a breakfast sandwich bagel that had Canadian bacon, egg, and cheese in it. I asked to add bacon. It came to $10 and some change after tax and a tip. When I got my sandwich she gave it to me in a bag. And then we waited 5 minutes for my sister-in-law's sandwich. During that time an employee took my sandwich back and gave me a new one. Apparently the other was a mistake. (I feel bad for whoever had ordered the sandwich I had because it sat in a paper bag on a cold table for 5 minutes so probably pretty cold by the time it was received). When both sandwiches were done we left. To my surprise my $10 had cheese and only bacon. Everything else was missing. It was cold and had two measly pieces of bacon. Pretty disappointed but the worst part is based on how we were treated I was not willing to drive back to get it fixed. The lady was so off putting that I felt better throwing it away then coming back to get what I paid for. I typically return to businesses where I have poor food experiences a year or so later hoping that enough time has lapsed that changes have been made. I've had great luck with that in the past. However for the Ultimate Bagel, I will not return to this establishment and will continue to warn others about it because of not only the poor food experience but more so the way we were treated.

This is the half salad...yes, half.  Very big!
Shane D.

I am going to start of with a complaint about price. I really wanted a salad and sandwich but they don't have an option for a salad on the side. Their half salad would be enough to feed most people all by itself. Also, $7.99 for a sandwich made on a bagel is just too much. I can get a footlong at Subway with more veggie choices for the same price. As far as the salad goes, it is just spring mix with a little feta and walnuts thrown on. At $5.25 for a half salad, that is exorbitant in my mind. And only two types of salad dressing, both vinaigrette, is really limited. The huckleberry one is awesome, but still. Finally, $1.99 for a 20 Oz bottle of soda is nuts. Service is really good and very prompt. Restaurant is very clean and comfy. I am really surprised that, being so close to a college this place is doing so well with the cost. But then again maybe this is the rich kid hipster spot so they just cater to them. Food is good but just too expensive. Won't be back here.

Jalapeño Asiago bagel with cream cheese and bacon
Danielle S.

Good service and clean inside. Lots of bagel flavors and sandwiches but if you're looking for a true bagel, this isn't it. Super thick bagels and too greasy.

"ZEGG" bagel
M Bianca A.

We went on a Sunday and they open at 8:30am. Good selection of bagels. Ordered the "ZEGG" bagel and grabbed the everything bagel and garlic bagel. Definitely would come back.

Embarrassment of a breakfast sandwich

I called the bagel shop in my hometown and thanked them for their service from the parking lot of this establishment after eating an abysmal breakfast sandwich. Staff was nice. Don't go for the food.

The huckleberry mimosas were the initial attraction and while not bad, not the highlight- a little too light on the champagne and a little too heavy on the muddled huckleberries.

The inside as shown in my picture is very charming and old timey. Allow time to wait for a table unless you are just one or two like I was and able to grab a seat at the bar. I was able to sit immediately. The staff is very amiable and the hostess made the recommendation that I try the Caprese Benedict, which had fried tomatoes in place of bread, fresh basil and blood orange balsamic drizzle. They offer the option of one or two Benedict, which is nice if you aren't super hungry. They also give the option to smother the hashbrowns and cheese, which I obviously opted into. The menu is absolutely massive though, so if Benedict's or even breakfast aren't your jam, you should be able to find something that suits your fancy. Also worth noting that they offer a very wide variety of gourmet flavors of house-made juices (7 or 8) for mimosas, like honeydew melon mint which I tried as a soda with soda water since I was driving.

We had a lovely glass of California chardonnay and we both ordered the salmon as our entrée. The salmon was served with corn, onions and celery with roasted potatoes and a salmon cream sauce. It was amazing! We shared a blueberry cobbler for dessert, not because we were still hungry but because the desserts are so good at Luna.

That's probably the highlight of the whole experience. I started with the Cheshire Cat mocktail, which was a bit oversweet for me. For main course, I had sea bass for $48 (pan-seared fish served with onion-potato gnocchi, charred asparagus, mushrooms, and asparagus coulis). It was decent, but the portion felt small for the price. Salmon rillette ended up being the best dish! It was rich, savoury, and delicious when paired with pickled onions (the bread was slightly burnt - I hated it). Ended the meal with a vanilla gelato dessert - just okay, not too wow. The restaurant was so packed and seemed understaffed, so service took forever. I left feeling a bit disappointed, especially after looking forward to it so much

We told the server it tasted burnt & old so she offered to make a fresh pot. It was just as bad, when she asked we said it was still really yucky and she said that a lot of people don't care for it. I ordered the tamale waffle. The beef was great, eggs were a bit overcooked but no biggie, the waffle was really hard and dry. It needs some sort of crema sauce or something. It wasn't horrible by any stretch but it wasn't great either. My mom got the veggie breakfast burrito and she liked the veggies though it was bland, felt like it could have had more sour cream & cheese. It was massive and came with a side. The added 16% service fee is some real BS. It says on the receipt that it's split between the server & the kitchen staff. Call me old fashioned but I thought it was on the restaurant to pay their staff a living wage. At $18 a breakfast plate & $4 for drip coffee you should be able to pay your staff. And then we're supposed to tip on top of that? Nope.

I had the sampler which is right up my alley, getting to try a bite of everything. Enjoyed 4/5 of the flavors! Really cute interior, convenient location to downtown activity. Time from entering the restaurant to food on the table was an hour, seems a little crazy for a waffle + topping situation. I think I'd almost prefer this as order at the counter and stream line the service time given waffles are casual. Inside was really loud even though it wasn't packed. My latte listed on menu for $6 was $7.50 and mimosa listed at $11 was $14... not sure if we missed something there? Was hungry pretty soon after, sampler really isn't enough for a meal. Would I go again? Sure! Overall, a fun treat.
