    This bagel place is from New York. It's one of the only ones in Massachusetts. Their bathrooms are the best by the way, spacious and I love the soap that they offer

    I have been visiting this location regularly for the past four months, and I would like to take a moment to recognize an outstanding team member. His exceptional customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail consistently set him apart. He demonstrates strong leadership qualities and serves as an excellent example for his team. I understand that he is one of the managers on duty, and I sincerely believe he deserves recognition for his dedication and commitment to excellence. His name tag reads Gus , green eyed Hispanic male with such a beautiful personality. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction, and it truly makes a difference in the overall experience. Please consider acknowledging his remarkable contributions — he genuinely deserves it.
