Fantastic Bagels, I'm from NJ and it's so hard here to find NY/NJ Bagels at super reasonable prices. Lots of spread choices, great coffee and sandwichs.
1. The service left little to be desired. 2. The bagel was not all that good; 3. 1 - Toasted Buttered Bagel cost $3.48 More on my experience and why I gave them a 1*. After ordering my bagel, I was given a buzzer to wait for my bagel to be completed, this was a great thing because there were no legitimate parking spots. I left a tip prior to picking up my Bagel, and returned to my car. Upon returning to pick up my bagel, I was treated like with discourtesy. While other customers had their orders bagged up in a brown paper bag, with their name(s) & napkins to go or to stay; my order was just placed on the counter unbagged. It came wrapped in 2 sheets of wax paper and a tape that wouldn't keep the wrap closed, along with an order slip with my name taped to it. I was not treated similarly to other customers who were present. I was offered no napkins, and no paper bag. I rushed to my car, and when I realized I had no bag or napkin, I went back to the store and asked the cashier for a bag and napkins. The same Cashier I ordered from earlier, pulled a passive aggressive move on me and said sure but continued to take another customers order and make me wait for another what felt like 3-4 minutes... The fact that there was no parking spaces available & I was not in a real parking spot made matters worse. In an attempt to avoid being ticketed for illegally parking, I asked one of her peers who approached the front with a newly completed order; for another customer; that was bagged up; for some napkins and a brown paper bag. He said sure and immediately began to get what I requested, and the passive aggressive cashier then jumped in and said, "I'm going to get it for her." I told her, "No you weren't. You just wanted to make me wait...." I was finally provided a brown paper & napkins and quickly left before I would get a ticket for illegally parking.... This Bagel spot was overated, over priced, and the cashier and the person who prepared my bagel made me feel unwelcomed and unappreciated as a customer. Over all, with the exception of my interaction with the young man who agreed to help me get a bag and napkins, the service sucked. I went back in while preparing this thorough review to get a full appreciation of the seating areas, bathroom, since at a glance the spot looked eclectic. It appears that this Bagel spot would have been a very hip and a cool spot to hang out with some friends, etc... But the way that I was treated took away from the potential of a great atmosphere and created a somewhat hostile environment. Maybe they were upset that I didn't spend more money at their location, since my tab amounted to $3.48 not including my $1.00 tip. Maybe they felt I did not leave a large enough tip. But my $1.00 was har earned and was a lot for me at this time...
