    Good bagels if you get what you order. Ordered a bagel with cream cheese, got home to find that there was an egg on it. I didn't order egg, I didn't want egg. I don't know if I was charged for the egg - I didn't look closely at the receipt. Luckily I'm not allergic to eggs. Cream cheese was sparse - ended up adding more when I got home. If I go back, I'll order just the bagel.

    I usually love this place but they seem not able to take orders correctly here lately for me personally. I got something on mine that I didnt want and then I got one way under done.

    Out of nearly everything, rude employee, and still managed to take 15 minutes to make a sandwich despite being the only customer in the restaurant. Do not recommend.

    Incredibly rude staff, don’t even think about giving them your money! I bought breakfast here and wanted to enjoy the air conditioning and sit for a bit, and they accused me of loitering and asked me to leave unless I bought a second breakfast…? They treated me like I was some kind of criminal for buying their food and sitting in their establishment… if they don’t want people to sit there, they should remove the chairs! I’ve literally never been treated this way in my life - if you want to eat some poorly prepared food and be treated like a criminal, this is the place to go
