Or the Exodus old window locations closed and the airstream camper location in alley is the new temporary place to order from. But I was tipped off by a bagel buying enthusiast when I was looking in the closed window location puzzled why I didn't see any people or bagels . The nice enthusiast told me that the pick up location is around the corner in a different new alley ... confused still but as Columbo the detective would do... I saw people walking from many directions to the new alley at 8:10 am. I followed the crowd to where others were already in the alley for the ordering process at the airstream trailer ... I was reminded of cousin Eddie in the Christmas movie with Chevy Chase and his camper trailer . The guy in the trailer looked like a horse bookie taking bets with his note pad and credit card machine... he may have been one of the owners after I researched later on website . I ordered a garlic Asiago bagel with butter and a salt bagel with veggie cream cheese. Then I was instructed to stand in alley and wait for my order . The bagel worker bees I then saw them come out of another building door with the bags of bagels and hand out to the experienced bagel buyers who intelligently order ahead . But the wait was quick and the worker bees scurry in and out of the door with the bags. There no tables or an area to eat in the alley . There was No inside coffee selections or Starbucks couches to lounge on eating your bagel sipping the latte to Italian music? I understand this is temporary as old space being renovated? I had my bagels both toasted and were perfect shade of toast . These were excellent different type bagels and not a brick dough filled type that becomes rock hard . The texture of bagel was more of a crunch chew in a good way. The garlic Asiago was a real deal flavor and thus would be excellent for a BLT or tuna or chicken salad for a sandwich , this would be winner chicken sandwich dinner . The salt bagel had a strong salt flavor again in a good way with the veggie cream cheese. The veggie cream cheese needed more veggies in it, but it did the trick to tame my bagel itch. Excellent bagels and the treasure hunt experience to find them was worth it. Clearly by the line of people and congregation of people from differ directions...they have a devoted following... reminded me of a Facebook announcement of a new iPhone release and people sleeping overnight to be first in line . Now, what is their secret of how or what they do to get the crunch texture but remain airy and not doughy? In summary: a great bagel and I need more .

Any time you can support local businesses and purveyors, eat locally grown and flavorful…read moreveg-forward food, prepare that food yourself fresh and to your liking, and have it delivered right to your door via bike, is a win in my book. We currently get AlFreshCo for one meal per week, and it's nice to look forward to an interesting, local, seasonal, meat-free dish every week. Initially we were thinking we'd use it for a weekday lunch, but we find even with most of the prep done for you that some of the dishes take a while to cook, so tend to save it for a dinner instead (some of the time estimates are pretty accurate, others are definitely low-balled in our experience). There are 4 recipes to choose from each week, and we like the international bent of the meals- it's fun to have the opportunity to make and eat things you don't regularly see, like koshari or an African peanut stew, and even the more common food items (noodles, dal) are still nice to have. We've been generally pretty happy at the end result- it's all been pretty solid, nothing that has made our jaws drop or anything but still nice for what it is. It's also appealing to cut down on our carbon footprint, not only in the process (less packaging, bike delivery) but in the food itself (locally sourced, no meat). Would recommend.

But I live Haitian food and wanted something different tonight, so I gave them a shot. I got the Tassot (fried beef) and fried plantains. It also came with some Pikli (tasty but too spicy for me) and it was all very good. The tassot wasn't dry and tough, the plantains weren't mushy, nor were they dried and rubbery. The beef melted away and had just enough crunch to satisfy, and the plantain was firm and easy to eat. I'm a bit of a wimp with hot spices, so if you're used to real Pikli, I'm sure you'd enjoy that too. Definitely will try more from here.

We returned hoping we would have the same positive experience as the day before. When we approached the register, two employees were standing together talking. We stood directly in front of the register for about five minutes, waiting to place our order. During that time, neither employee greeted us, acknowledged our presence, or said something as simple as, "We'll be right with you." The older employee remained leaned over the counter, continuing her conversation while casually writing on the countertop instead of acknowledging us or taking our order. The younger employee looked in our direction several times, and it appeared she wanted to help us, but the conversation continued. After waiting several minutes without any acknowledgment, we decided to leave. As we were walking out, a white customer entered the bakery and was enthusiastically welcomed by the older employee with a cheerful, "Hello, welcome." That contrast was upsetting and made us feel overlooked and unwelcome. While I cannot know the employees' intentions, the difference in how we were treated left us questioning whether race played a role in our experience. It was especially disappointing because we had enjoyed our visit the day before and returned expecting the same welcoming atmosphere. No customer should feel invisible when entering a business. A simple greeting or acknowledgment would have made all the difference. I hope you will take this complaint seriously, review what occurred, and remind your staff of the importance of treating every customer with the same level of courtesy, respect, and professionalism.
