We'd definitely come back here for the bagels, they were fantastic. Jury is still out on their other offeringa. What we got: Sausage, egg, and cheese on toasted everything bagel with cheddar jalapeno cream cheese - 5* it was perfect and amazing and delicious. Of course it was messy to eat but I didn't mind eating it piecemeal. New Yorker on a toasted everything bagel - 5* my partner loved the sandwich. It was cooked through and warm, had a good distribution of pastrami, sauerkraut, and cheese. Wouldn't mind trying it with a cream cheese added in the future. Pepperoni Roll - 1.5* skip it, it was a big disappointment, especially compared to the bagels. The pepperoni were in long sticks and weren't warm, even after getting the roll toasted. The roll also wasn't the best. Not a worthwhile purchase.

I knew what I wanted so it was a matter of choosing which burger. I went with the mushroom Swiss. A favorite for me. While I waited one to go order was picked up, another couple came in, one guest to the other "Everything on the menu is great". I waited about 10 minutes in the quiet small seating area inside. Once my food was ready I walked out took a couple pictures and had "a" bite... yes it was a premade patty but it was cooked perfectly, a little pink in the middle, very juicy and nicely seasoned. The bun light buttered and toasted with a smear of mayo. Sure it would be great to have fresh mushrooms but these were good, not soft and chewy. The cheese had a nice tang and it was stretchy gooey. The fries are shoe string, a light crunch and light salted. I much prefer a small fry over steak fries or Jo Jo style potatoes. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. Would I drive to and from my entire lunch break to eat here again? Yes, I would. I want to try more of the menu or another delicious burger.

Edit: And then my fiance went back the next morning for another coffee haahhaha

Ordered the pulled pork platter with two sides and it was terrible. The apples were cold and tasteless. With the cornbread they used to give you a big square of homemade cornbread but now you get a little muffin shaped piece about 2" in diameter and hard as a rock (see photo). The pulled pork tasted bad and after about five minutes after I was done, it hit my stomach and I got very sick. Luckily there is a Family Dollar store across the street and I went there and bought some Imodium. Had to stick around and use Bonnie Blue's restroom twice before felt comfortable enough to make the 45 minute drive back to my home. Got home and felt so bad that I went straight to bed. Obviously I got food poisoning at Bonnie Blue's and think they left the pork out too long and this is why. See photo of my my receipt and the pulled pork platter. Will never go back there & would warn others to avoid this place unless you want to possibly get very sick like I did.

Their selection was slanted towards non-vegetarian items such that only a couple of their pizza slices were an option for me, and did not have quite as diverse a set of sweets as I'd hoped for. Having said that, the quality was there, so I took a shot on a large focaccia pizza slice with multiple peppers. It was very bready but bubbled nicely and I was able to make a good small meal out of a single slice. The sourdough bread that I got was available sliced, and was mild but satisfying in flavor and texture. It was a pleasant shop to eat in and had an outdoor courtyard. Even though the menu was not exactly what I wanted it to be, there was enough that I could see returning.

Food is ordered on a screen and you just wait for your name to be called. We've only tried the breakfast sandwiches and the breakfast bowls, but both times we have been left satisfied. The sausage gravy is pretty comparable to most places we've had around the area. Definitely better than the local chain restaurants. Gravy is flavorful and meaty. The moment you walk in you feel this place definitely supports the local farms and has unique products you're not going to find in your chain grocery store.

It's nothing special but something to get if you forget your lunch for the day. The soup is uninspired and the sandwiches take forever to come out. There is no dedicated waiting area so you're left standing against a coffee station waiting for your name to be called. Some of the orders seem to take lifetimes to be completed and others are made in a matter of seconds. It appears the name Jiffy only applies to the length of time to make SOME of their items. Simply for the consistency and the mundaneness of the location as well as the ease of racking up an outrageous price for lunch its getting 3 stars. Seating is limited and the best thing here I had is the club sandwich although eating it is a pain as it is bigger than your mouth. Make sure to add horseraddish sauce if you want to spice up your sandwich. The italian was nothing special.

Instead, I felt like I was inconveniencing them just by ordering a drink. The whole interaction felt hostile and uncomfortable. The coffee itself was average, but the service completely ruined the experience. There are plenty of coffee shops where staff actually appreciate their customers, so I won't be coming back here.
