  Dam good Bagels. Like NY bagels. I had the everything with cream cheese. They could do with some better seating out front , the inside not conducive to hanging out.
  If ya have a nice place or go sit on beach. Gotta get the bagels they're amazing.
  Didn't try the coffee.
  Don't hang around unless you enjoy the company
  Of the local indigenous Junkies hanging out.

  Do yourself a favor and just avoid this place.
  
  To put it bluntly: it's a sh..tshow in there. They have one person working the counter who takes orders, and they have one person hidden in the kitchen behind a tiny pass who does all the food work. Is that enough people to handle a Saturday morning? No, it is not.
  
  This issue is compounded by their unbelievably inane system to tackle orders: the person taking the order writes it down on a sticky note, grabs whatever bagels are required, jams the sticky note onto the bagel, then passes both through the little window into the kitchen. Efficient? No. And when there's a backlog -- which there always will be, because again, just one person handles all the food/order filling -- it becomes a scrambled grab for tickets and bagels, with mistakes being made, orders going unfilled for long stretches of time, and all sorts of other problems.
  
  Joseph W. wrote (9/29/2019 - 1 star) that it took 25 minutes for him to get a bagel with cream cheese delivered. I believe it. The person I came here with waited about a half hour for a toasted bagel with butter. He -- along with just about every other customer in here -- was pissed.
  
  There's a reason this place has three stars: their service is miserable. Waiting for an order here feels like waiting for a medical appointment. Save yourself the pain and go... really, anywhere else.

  Great LBS (local bagel shop) that provides speedy to go service, you can usually find street parking if you go in the early AM, have reasonable prices and they've got quite a selection! I usually grab a few to enjoy for the next few days (3 for $3.60). Everything I've had there is great ranging from bagels with cream cheese to breakfast sandwiches. Haven't had the smoked salmon yet but saw someone's dish this AM and I got the lox envy.

  Currently noshing on my jalapeno cheese bagel that was delivered with plenty of other bagels. DAMN these are good! I dont know what "real" bagels are, all I know is these are damn good. I can see, taste, smell and feel how fresh they are! They almost look undercooked, but are actually very much cooked through entirely. They're chewy on the inside with the perfect amount of crunch on the outside. And, they're huge!
  
  Yes, I do think theyre a little expensive (if you get it toasted with cream cheese) but you can somewhat hack the system by ordering a few and a cup of cream cheese for cheaper. I will say, almost $5 for a small cream cheese is ridiculous, hence the docked star but their bagels are delicious! I'd visit! But having these circular carbs delivered couch side is great too haha

  I waited 25 minutes for a simple jalapeño cheese bagel with cream cheese while being harassed by a schizophrenic homeless man. Then when I finally received the bagel, it had the wrong toppings on it and was cold and chewy. There were very few people waiting for bagels at the time. It was not packed by any means. So I don't know why it should take so long and they can't get my simple toppings right. I went in and complained and they remade my bagel and it was slapped together in 3 minutes hastily. This time it is hard and overcooked. I would not feed my dogs this food. I think it would be too much of a punishment for them. With the horrible quality combined with the horrible service makes for a bad dining experience. I will not be returning.
