    Terrible service by the lady taking my order. Rushing me with no one else in line, and just to sit there and look at bagels and talk . So disrespectful!

    Ordered Togo cause the dining room is disgusting. So much dirt and dust in the ceiling and tables, gross. Smallest portion sizes and they charge double fast food pricing, your better off getting a pub sub at the least your in a clean environment. Employees here don’t care either. Gave me no spoon with my Togo bag, none in the condiment area and when I asked she gave me an attitude. Def won’t be back.

    When you order a bagel one cream cheese should be complimentary anything after the first should be uncharged. Charging for cream cheese for a bagel Should be a crime.
