    Imagine a Panera, only with bagels as the main attraction, but a lesser bagel than even Panera. Beautiful space, with comfy couches, tables, and booths, plus outdoor tables as well. Tasteful decor. A good place from which to telecommute. -- Bagels: They certainly look okay, but to me they came across as just round white bread with holes. Basically, Lender's. Both the onion (first visit) and pumpernickel (second visit) lacked flavor and texture. On the plus side, they're heated whole rather than cut and toasted. -- Spreads: My first visit's bagel's lox "schmear" (their term) was a thin, dry, chalky spread with barely any salmon flavor, and definitely not creamy. The second visit's veggie spread was thick but stiff and cold. Decent coffee and inviting space, but for both bagels and spreads (I'm not saying "schmear"), below average. I rank them a distant third among the three local ones (them, NY Bagels, Bagels Plus) and no match for any in the Boston area. At least they're better than Dunkin.

    Came here for some brunch food now that it's finally open! Upon entering, the place felt very clean and lively. All the staff were extremely friendly and the manager also! I got a chicken salad sandwich with onion bagel, a gourmet pesto Mac and cheese, and a caramel latte. Everything was delicious and tasted very clean/fresh. There is a lot of seating inside. I will definitely return!

    Everything bagel with cream cheese

    Excellent bagels and excellent cold brew coffee. It was slammed when we walked in and we got our food in a timely manner

    Ordered online and was ready and warm when I arrived. Tried the Vermonter and maple coffee. The outdoor seating was great for my pup and I.

    Could not have been more impressed with euphoria coffee. I happened to have a meeting nearby so…read moredecided to stop in and was immediately blown away. A massive selection of pour over, cold brews, lattes among others with freshly roasted beans. I went with the Ethiopian Dutch style Cold Brew and was thrilled with the flavor and smoothness. The space is good sized with easy parking and a nice variety of seating options. I wasn't in need at the time but would definitely take a look at their beans the next time I go.

The wait was so long and they clearly haven't figured out the balance between managing online and in person orders. An additional person is needed to simply take the orders in house. The person they had on deck this morning was frantically trying to take orders and move food from the kitchen to the online pick up area. Three people making drinks and still backed up making what should have been a relaxing morning tense and unpleasant. I want to be clear that every person I saw was doing their best to make things work and this is a systems issue. I like this place and I offer these comments to encourage them to look at their system and find ways to improve.

I didn't sit there and eat, but the little seating area looked pleasant. I think the shop was previously a chinese restaurant given the panda that greeted me on the door when I came in. =) Nice shop.

    I've been working in the area for the past 5 years and I've been fortunate enough to have eaten…read moredonuts from this location many times thanks to random coworkers always bringing in a box for any kind of celebration. It seems that everyone just knows that if you want donuts nearby, you go here and not Dunkin. I've been to the store a couple of times but there's nothing particular to write about. Just plain white interior and pretty old. A couple of tables I think, and a fridge. You're really just meant to pop in and out with a box of donuts. Parking is totally effortless. The lot outside is MASSIVE and shared with several other businesses. Honestly, I never see any cars in front of the other businesses either. Park anywhere you like. Hell, do a couple of laps before you consume all those calories! I won't wax poetic going through each donut because many other reviews have probably already sold you on the incredible quality being served here. But I want to give a shoutout that their Raspberry Fritters and Apple Fritters are world-class and everyone needs to try them. From checking their other reviews, it seems I need to expand my horizons and try out their Twists, Pine Cones, and Bear Claws.

A cute, unpretentious place. They were closing as I arrived. I was greeted warmly by a very nice and pleasant man, who may have been the owner.

Well...it's expensive...and not quite worth the dough you're paying for it. First off, when we got there, it was dead. I had anticipated a line...a large dining area...long buffet tables...but no, none of the above. They do have an omelet station which is probably the only highlight of the place. Don't misinterpret...the food isn't awful, but sheesh, for $20 a head, you want to see some kickass brunch with hungry diners clambering to get in...but no. Actually, this was two days before St Patrick's Day, so they did have corned beef and cabbage, (Boiled Dinner), on the buffet and that was actually pretty good too. An abnormally large table of desserts and a chocolate fountain, while sounding great in theory, in practice all of these desserts looked like plastic demos of what a good dessert should look like. I didn't go for dessert. Most of the other dishes *might* have been good had there been a quick turnover rate and fresh batches brought out. The lack of "mouth-traffic" left this brunch as a disappointment at best. Maybe if they charged about $10 a place...it might be a place worth stopping to get your *nom* on some average, but cheap, eats. $20...c'mon now. So two stars...b/c: Meh. I've experienced better.
