    I rarely leave reviews unless absolutely necessary, and unfortunately today was one of those occasions, specifically for this location. I placed a mobile order this morning for five Baker’s Dozen & Shmear to deliver breakfast to five different veterinary clinics. When I arrived around 9:20 a.m., my order had been condensed into two large boxes with a note attached stating there was an issue and to see the cashier. The cashier I spoke with was kind and helpful, and explained that due to a supply shortage, all 60 bagels were placed into two boxes. While I understand supply issues happen, I explained that the orders needed to be separated since it was being delivered to five different locations. At that point, the shift lead or manager or whoever she was response was abrupt, defensive, and dismissive rather than helpful. I was told the bagels “couldn’t be bagged” due to concerns about the bags ripping, and the tone made it feel as though my request was unreasonable and I was an inconvenience for even stating so. No alternative solution was offered. I ultimately asked for bags and divided the order myself in my car, which took an additional 20 minutes. I tested the bags and, shocker, had no issues — none ripped or showed signs of tearing, even after delivery. When I later returned after bagging the bagels to ask about a coffee I believed was included in the order (which turned out to be my mistake), I was again met with the same confrontational tone from the same shift lead instead of a simple clarification. I understand stores get busy and shortages happen, but clear communication and basic courtesy go a long way. Unfortunately, the lack of assistance and the dismissive tone turned what should have been a straightforward pickup into a stressful and upsetting experience.

    Came in to pick up an online order 20 minutes after placed as instructed by app. No order waiting. I stood waiting for 9 minutes while 4 employees stood around laughing and one sweeping. Finally an employee asks what my name was on the order. When I tell her she stated they didn’t make it because they were out of our chosen bagels. I’m not upset that they ran out but that no one including the manager ever asked. 40 year old manager was focused on throwing trash and another sweeping and other two laughing. It is 11:30am. They close at 3pm so I didn’t walk in at close with high expectations. If they were teenagers learning would be one thing. But adults and a manager? #fail your attention should be the customer first.

    This place is gross. I have been there when staff are cleaning and spraying stuff over the bagels. Today there was a girl with huge dreadlocks her hair was everywhere as she handled bagels. This place is filthy!
