3 /5 Karen L.: Tried going on a Friday at 10am...out of bagels(?). Gave it another shot the following week on a Thursday at 9am... limited bagels. With it being my first (well second) time here I found it very confusing why there was a shortage right at the beginning of the day. I was trying to examine the menu and the girls said it might not be accurate we are out of a few bagels and we have additional cream cheeses. As a first timer ordering from an incomplete menu the experience was not smooth. I kept saying do you have this or that. Honestly, thats kind of annoying and it was clear that it made the workers a little unsure themselves... checking this and checking that and not just being able to confidently take my order and answer my questions. And not that I really cared about the price... but why no prices anywhere to be seen? When I seen my total I wasnt even sure what cost what. $17 but what was the break down.
I ordered:
*-Bacon breakfast sandwich on a sesame bagel with the addition of plain cream cheese: there was no shortage of cream cheese thats for sure and it had a good flavor. The ratio of eggs and bacon was a little thin. All I really tasted was cream cheese with a hint of everything else. The bagel itself was interesting. A lot chewier and thinner than I anticipated but not the worst. It was better than the chain breakfast spots thats for sure. I would give the bagel another shot to taste it with a different combo- lunch option and/or with just cream cheese.
*-Iced latte. Again they werent sure if they could make it. I seen the flavor bottles sitting out so I could see they had quite a few more than listed on the menu. They werent sure what non dairy milks were available. Again..not smooth. The latte was not great. Too much flavor shot. Tasting very artificial. The espresso did not really hit the spot either. Maybe consider trying it with less pumps of flavor (I think they did 5 or so) . Tbh I would probably just try the regular hot coffee next time.
Overall: I enjoy going to local small businesses and having a bagel shop in the area is a plus. Breakfast sandwich is an upgrade from breakfast chain restaurants. I would get the breakfast sandwich again but with a tad less cream cheese. I want to check out the specialty cream cheeses next time/lunch options. I would pass on the Iced Latte and check out their regular coffee, which from reviews people seem to enjoy.
