    The bag
    Jackie B.

    Stopped by for a triple chocolate and chocolate chip cookies. The triple chocolate is better (in my opinion) quick service, easy parking, will be back to try other things!

    On what planet is this a bowl of granola?
    Jamie E.

    What a rip off not only is what they call a bowl of granola and absurdly small portion, but they don't even have whole milk to go with it

    Everything bagel with lox cream cheese
    Leah O.

    This is the spot for breakfast! Delicious bagels and they have classic or fun cream cheese flavors! Their coffee is also really good. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.

    Bagel with "lox spread"

    Yuck - stop scrolling on your phone and handling food at the same time!!!! I walked out and threw my sandwich in the garbage - lox spread was terrible.

    Great bagels. Had a breakfast sandwich yesterday and a BLT today, they were both terrific. I love how they put salt in their everything mix.

    Decent bagel for New England, but not quite as good as Jersey and NYC. However I am anxious to try more.

The food and service was 5 stars plus a little extra…read more Even while being very undecided, Skyler gave me great recommendations to consider and politely told me she would be right back as she balanced multiple tasks. Her communication and knowledge of the menu was top tier and she should be recognized. Now for the food, The Willoughby was ridiculously good. I don't even know what else to say about it except I should have ordered 2 to go. I also got the Delilah which was bursting with flavor. My honey dip donut was fluffy and delightful. The only critique I could offer is I wish there was specialty coffee drinks as an option. However, I still would give this place 5 stars easily and would definitely return.

    We were on vacation staying in Arlington, and decided to give Willoughby's a try. I'm so glad we…read moredid! The lady at the counter was very sweet to us, (two different ladies on two different visits actually). The first time we ordered two egg and cheese sandwiches. Mine was on a bagel, and literally it was the best bagel (also i have lived in NYC for years so I know a good bagel). It was so super soft on the inside and the outside was perfect. I highly recommend. We also had two maple donuts which were also so good and very filled with filling, It was so good we decided to go back the next day and eat breakfast there. Again I had the amazing bagel breakfast sandwich and we shared a ginormous cinnamon roll that was super tasty. It's small and cute and had great food. The pricing was great too. I love supporting local when I travel. I would definitely recommend!

They still have specific male- female bathrooms which could be made available to both or 100 of the new sex orientations. My only problem is their hours. Most breakfast places seat diners during their open hours. If it says 1:30pm then the staff can get out by 2:30. This restaurant tends to push people away - who are there for brunch - at about 12:15. Not sure the owners know how much business they are actually turning away since it's not apparent that once someone has been turned away over an hour before their end of day never bother to return. Also now that tips aren't technically taxed I would think employees would like a full day of work. Perhaps they need 2 shifts of wait staff and/or open for breakfast at 8:00am rather than 7:00. I moved to Manchester 3 yrs ago and have been baffled by the shortage of people willing to work full time or employers willing to add part-time workers on their busy days (Friday through Monday) There must be a way to keep staff and accommodate early afternoon brunch (10-2pm) diners. Manchester is basically a resort town that has kept its small town feel - which is a positive - but most restaurants in the area depend on seasonal diners. (Ski season, Fall foliage (leaf peepers, Summer equestrian, musical, play events and quiet during "mud season" so many businesses take a break some time during April/May. Manchester is an odd duck of a town - more New England than upstate NY or E. Pennsylvania. Some old locals insist on calling lunch - dinner and dinner supper which just confuses anyone who isn't a member of the DAR. (Daughters of the American Revolution) I have friends here who had relatives come over on the Mayflower - it was obviously a VERY crowded boat.

    This review is for my wife, who doesn't go on Yelp. . . . But I do…read more This is her review. Service, Service, Service! I tried them twice, bad both times. Day One, I went in and ordered a bacon egg & cheese sandwich. I asked if I could substitute avocado for the cheese. They said no as the avocado is more expensive. I get it, no big deal. I ask for a bacon egg sandwich (no cheese). They take my order along with my coffee and such and I go about my business. I go back to my Air bnb and lo and behold it's an egg only sandwich. I chalk it up to talking about avocados more than I do their listening skills and I move on. Day Two, I go in to give them a second chance. I order a Harvest Bowl & 2 coffees. I pay in cash. I get my cups, fill up my coffees and wait. After a few minutes, I realize that several people have come in, ordered, served and left in front of me. I go up to the counter and ask about my order and find out it was never put in. Because I paid in cash there was no trail. It's now well over 20 minutes and the person who took my order would not even lift her head to acknowledge that she served me. I call someone else over and ask about what to do and they treat me like I'm looking for a free meal. (FYI, visually I am a successful older female). Once they retook my order I quickly went next door to the jewelry shop as I had some time sensitive business there. When I returned, bowl still not ready, but was on the stove. While I was waiting I asked to speak with the manager. Suddenly nobody wanted to be the manager. Once someone came forward, I asked if this type of service was normal. I also asked if they compensate customers who have been ignored. He THEN HAD THE NERVE TO SAY, 'WELL, YOU'RE GETTING THE BOWL FOR FREE'! There were places I wanted him to put said compensation. Never, Never, NEVER say words like that to any customer. The sad part, the food is good. The place is cute. The customer service takes all that away and more. Caitlin, you have a good thing. Don't let your employees ruin it. When I mentioned your business in the jewelry store, they avoid your place too for the same reason.

    Customer service was disrespectful and inattentive to detail…read more The food itself was delisious.
