Not so “back east” when everything is nuked in a microwave versus a griddle.

I canr in to satisfy my morning hunger and this hit the spot. Ordered the egg and cheese bagel. Your choice of bagel and cheese. For 6.50 and ordered a simple latte which is not simple at all. But good.

Have to agree with the other reviews. Ordered a simple plaine bagel with egg and cheese and asked for spinach to be added. Thought it would be made from scratch with the spinach cooked in. It was not. Also ordered a latte and oj. Latte was good. Was waiting on my oj and was told I had to go get it from the fridge at the front which confused me. Would think they could at least bring it when they call you up for you order. I was staying nearby but I don’t think I’ll be returning. Was convenient and decent but that’s about it.

I've been going here for years. Not sure if the bagels are authentic, but don't really care, they taste good. The Everything bagel is my favorite.

If you're looking for authenticity, this place will Jew you out of a normal sized bagel.They make the smallest bagels on the market to squeeze every last penny out of the production process.

So good. Fresh NY style bagel. Always a line but it moves quick. Nothing fancy as far as ambience- it's simply quick, delicious and all about the bagels!

What ever time I get there, they are sold out of bagels ( this is a bagel shop right )I like the poppy, when I go all poppy goneGuys if poppy is so popular make moreIt’s that simpleYou are going to loose a lot of clients be smart be good business people and keep stocking fresh bagels ( learn from this )

This is not a test ! I spent the first 25+ years of my life living on the jersey shore and these are the best bagels I've had in the Phoenix area ! Came across this place by chance when I had to kill some time ,now I'll return any chance I get. Only thing I wish they had was more vegetarian/vegan options with the sandwiches because I'm vegetarian ,but I'm fine with taking a half dozen home for the weekend and having my way with them! Truly excellent bagels that rival the back east taste and texture!

No Taylor Ham, No Boars head cold cuts, They microwave there eggs, This place would last 5 minutes "BACK EAST!" Shame, IT WAS A GOOD BAGEL!

I stopped in on Saturday morning as the business was opening. The fresh smell of bagels was intoxicating. They were warm, fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back!!!!

Pretty good bagels. But they put ham in my egg and cheese bagel sandwich. I don't pork, so won't be returning.
