The owner is friendly. They make pretty decent sandwiches. Prices are pretty decent. They take credit/debit cards and cash. No parking onsite but plenty of street parking. My only complaint is that it’s hard to understand what she is saying and she seems to have trouble understanding what is being asked too.Parking: Plenty of free street parking

Great morning bagel and croissant and cookies and pastries stop. Very much a no-fuss, one stop, grab your bagel and go kind of a place. They don’t even ask for tips or have a tip jar — not that I can remember. So I always leave them a tip on my card charge because they work so hard here!!! The food is great and they seem like they live and sleep bagels - I wonder if they ever go on vacation. And then, I also wonder where they go and if they think about their special little bagel shop when they’re away? Because I know a lot of people love this place.??❤️❤️❤️-Eriq

Cold meat, they don't cook the ham or pastrami. Just plain cold, much rather make my own at home.

The service was great we came in with a big group and they were so understanding they gave us a notepad so we can right down all the orders! They were also very patient with us! The beagle tasted great!

Went here this morning to get an everything bagel and a blueberry bagel. there was about a four minute wait around 8 AM on a Friday. The people who work there are very nice, and took care of my order exactly how I wanted it. I also ended up getting a small Vietnamese coffee which is very delicious (ice coffee with condensed milk). There is parking available right out front. Don't know why this place doesn't have great reviews. We've been here three times and every time it's been great bagels and service. The only thing I will say is I don't think it's a place to stop and eat, but if you want your bagels to go it's a great spot. Bagels are both great and we will be back!

I don't understand all the non 5-star reviews; I can't commend this place enough!I grew up & live right at Bay-O-Vista (before the hospital/Benedict exit), so I have been going to this place for years (think decades). And allow me to tell you, Main Street Bagels does something exceptional that sets it apart...!The most fresh, pristine quality of their ingredients is what ALL deli's should aspire to have/serve! It is so simple, yet the best. To me, it is the most remarkable thing about this place that is unmatched and elevates it among the highest sandwich places I go to! The crispiness of the lettuce, the firmness & juiciness of the tomatoes, the fresh softness of the bread, the bite & crunch of the pickles, the cucumbers having that sweetness with it's bite/crunch, with a good & just right amount of sauces (mayonnaise, mustard)! The meat -- whether it is served hot or cold -- are all perfectly cooked, tasty, and first rate! I didn't know how delicious pastrami & roast beef put together in a sandwich was until this place. This all makes Main Street Bagels remarkable, but what makes it almost just as remarkable is the consistency about the aspect of them serving the most fresh, pristine quality ingredients as well! Every single time -- to the point that it was very surprising in the beginning of frequently going to them -- we received this quality of ingredients!What me and my wife's regular order MUST include is the Specialty Gourmet Bagel Roll. While all the other bagels and breads may be acceptable, the specialty gourmet bagel roll stands above those and even those in other deli's! You can definitely tell this by the fact that most of the time, before 12 or 12:30, there wouldn't be a trace of it left for purchase/consumption! What I usually order is a cold roast beef & pastrami in a gourmet bagel roll with everything on but onions. I more often than not also order a hot pastrami with the same ingredients as well. My wife orders the hot pastrami without onions & pickles. When we come here, we absolutely are certain that we are in for the best quality sandwich and a great meal.Parking is a bit tricky; if you don't get a spot on the street in front of it, there is a parking lot in the back where the entrance is a ways down the modest little shopping center (almost strip mall). There, there is a couple of spots, but not too many; I'd put it as a small parking lot.On top of offering a few tables to eat indoors, there are a few chairs and tables along the front entrance, but a quaint & small patio with a number of tables and chairs in the back that also connects to the small parking lot.Again, I can't imagine why there are so many non-5 star Yelp reviews...I can't recommend this place enough, and the fact that what it's best and most remarkable at is consistently given confirms my claims about this place...! Every time we choose to get a sandwich here, as long as they have that specialty gourmet bagel roll, we always look forward to the highest quality and never end up regretting that as it is found it in a sandwich from them every time!

These are, hands down, thee best bagels. I drive 40 miles to enjoy them. The service is always fast. Get there early though, they do run out!!

Would be 4/5 If it didn't take 30 minutes to get a bagel, and then cost $10.

I wish I had more time to share why I'm giving this establishment 1-star but here goes. My husband picked up a bagel for me and witnessed an elderly gentleman ahead of him request for an open faced bagel. The male owner responded in an extremely rude manner and told him they don't do that. This man had to be in his 80's and was very polite and the owners response was outrageous due to his tone and high level of agitation. He told the customer that they didn't have plates and they simply couldn't do it. He was so rude, he turned this nice man's attitude around and he left without his bagel. The the owner did tell the man to referred to a young lady who may have been his daughter before he left. She proceeded to say the same thing. She may have been afraid to say anything else. I've seen this man be rude before but really, an elder who is helping to sustain your business! Yes, their bagels are good but not good enough to patronize an establishment that doesn't understand how to treat the very people that keep them in business. Until I know that this owner is seeking help for anger management, I will travel as far away as I need to get a bagel but not from them! This type of behavior is not to be rewarded!If I had been there, oh Boy! I don't take kindly to abuse of elders!

Ordered the ham and cheese crossaint and onion bagel with jalopeno cream cheese. The crossaint is huge, I did wish it had more ham though. The bagel ok, I did like the jalapeño cream cheese had chunks of tomato in it. There's street parking here, but it looks like a lot maybe a few shops down.
