The owners are very nice, the bagels and sandwiches are very good. However the place could use a good cleaning.

Worst breakfast shop I’ve ever attended. I walk in for the first time ever and see a couple old couples sitting down eating their breakfast. Thinking to myself how bad could it be. I walk up to the counter ready to order and the man behind the counter start rushing me to talk. Trying to guess every word going to come out my mouth instead of letting me say my order. After the most difficult conversation to take an order, he finally get it all. 3 sandwiches and a hash brown. Walks away without letting me pay so I sit and wait. Then he goes on to take more orders while I still haven’t paid. The lady making the food then comes to me to confirm my order again. Even though I told the man 50 times what it was. After waiting 10-15 minutes I finally get my food. I sit waiting at the counter holding my food saying I still have to pay. The man continues taking more orders instead of finishing what’s in front of him. When he finally get ready to charge me, he misses a couple things in the bill so I had to repeat my order again so I could actually pay for all my food. Then I leave the shop after 20+ minutes of standing in there. Finally get home to eat the food. It’s wrapped up all messy but that’s not a big deal to me. The bagel was really small. The eggs portion and bacon size inside the bagel was even smaller. But what makes me even more upset after that ridiculous confrontation in the shop was that 2 of my 3 sandwiches had //EGG SHELLS// inside the eggs. Almost a quarter of the shell being inside. It’s not that hard make food right and paying $26 for 3 bagels sandwiches just to have egg shells inside was ridiculous. Especially with how small the egg portion was. The shell was easily visible before assembly the sandwich.

I ordered delivery from here twice when my normal bagel place was super busy. The first time they forgot a muffin that was ordered. I figured I'd give them another chance and they got this order completely wrong. First off, they forgot a plain bagel with honey almond cream cheese (even though the receipt with items listed on it was stapled to the bag). Second, they actually included the 4 everything bagels but didn't have the plain cream cheese. They included strawberry cream cheese instead. If my preggo butt could give them ZERO STARS, I would! All I was craving was an everything bagel with plain cream cheese and they couldn't even get that right. Literally none of the order was correct.

Review for the Tilghman Street location. I ordered a bagel sandwich online which they don't offer all the bagel flavors. I also ordered a decaf coffee. Got the and the sandwich was made but instead of a nice label on the bag there was a hard to see note in pen. Then I was told that they "don't do decaf". I know I'm one of the few that can't have full caffeine coffee because of a heart valve issue but maybe put that when I'm ordering. The coffee was standard, nothing special. The sandwich was OK. The bagel was softer and less chewy than I prefer. I'll be going to Dunkin in the future where i can get decaf coffee with flavoring and a bagel that I prefer for less money.
