Waited 10 minutes for a cold bagel, it tasted good but was soggy and not crisp like a typical bagel. All the tables were dirty and so was the counter girls shirt. They had no customers at the time and instead of wiping the dirty tables she just stood there zoning out. Very strange experience, I wanted to love it but it didn't hit the mark for me.

Now how old were your bagels today? And couldn't taste the ham egg or cheese on the one I had.

We stopped into Ben and Bean Cafe about a month ago and had a great lunch, so we decided to try them yesterday for breakfast. Had a wonderful poppy seed bagel with cream cheese and a delicious, freshly baked pumpkin muffin. They said they were expanding their menu choices so we look forward to trying more of their good food in the future!

Bagels are so much more consistent now. Went maybe a few months ago and JB was on the grill (buy some new shoes my dude) cranking out food, singing, and cutting up with the staff, but the food came out fast and was excellent despite there being a lot of tickets on the line.Went this weekend and his business partner was there and had the same pleasant experience. Hard to find a pork roll on Kaiser down here but they do it very well despite neither of the owners being from the tri-state. Love the new cookies and what I think is a different chocolate croissant (my memory may be fuzzy but it’s looks a LOT better and has lots more chocolate).Be nice to have some beer and wine as an option but given all the additions to the lunch menu (Cuban!!! Yum) probably need to get that up and running first.Given that it’s Fibber’s adjacent not surprised by all the remodeling they’ve done, which looks great.

By far the most delicious steak, egg, and cheese bagel I've ever had. I'm still thinking about it. I'm going to think about this bagel all week... maybe longer. I live 7 hours away, but I think that jalapeño cheddar bagel will follow me into my dreams where ever I am.

What is not to like about fresh coffee and daily made bagels. Always enjoy supporting a Veteran Owned business. Staff was welcoming and knowledgeable about their menus and recommendations. The breakfast burritos will fill you up, grab an extra napkin or two. The hot coffee was hot and the iced was iced both were delicious. They have baked sweet goods for you sweet tooth and day old bagels while they last. Well worth the stop. Thank you ??Parking: Well maintained.

Truly one of the best bagels I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of bagels in my life! The Asiago bagel was the perfect blend of light and fluffy, with an excellent crunch to the outside. Absolutely will be back to this little gem of a spot whenever I'm in town.Wheelchair accessibility: Located on ground level with curb ramps near entrance. Tables are movable and look to be wheelchair friendly (although I was not able to test this, personally)

The bagels are very good and I’ve bought a bakers dozen each of the three times I’ve been there. The second time I visited, the staff neglected to include the crumb cake I requested and paid for; this week, I visited for the 3rd time and AGAIN the crumb cake was not included. The prior time I discovered the missing cake once I had gotten home, luckily this time I was pulling out of the parking lot when I remembered to check. I returned to the store to ask and get the cake and I was met by a staff person who neither apologized or seemed to care in the least.
