The bagels are good, however the people that work here have the worst attitude and even when THEY mess up the order, they make it your problem. Also, they are very stingy with the smear. Just pay the extra cost and go to Rosen's.

This place still has the same terrible customer service as it did 10 months ago. I used to live on this side of town so I would come here semi frequently. I always grabbed my order from over the counter, as well as other patrons. So I went up to the counter and I had three employees just look at me even though I was looking right at them and just walked in and they never acknowledge me. I was literally standing there for about 3 to 4 minutes with not one acknowledgment. Another girl had a bucket of bagels and came up around me and they handed her the order over the counter.
An older chubby ww, who I remember from last time, with a charcoal color ponytail, finally looks at me and says, "oh hey what are you here for?" and I asked her was anybody ever going to acknowledge the fact that I've been standing here and she said well what are you here for? and I said a pickup order. She said well the pickup orders are over there.
I guess now they sit their pick up orders on the wall to the side. My issue is; 1, if you acknowledged me like a normal business would, I would have known that as I have not been in here in 10 months. 2, I'm not going to just go grab my pickup order from the wall because I would have been stopped and I highly doubt y'all just allow that to happen, especially since I'm a minority. 3, You could have just gave me good customer service and everything would have been good from the get-go. It's like people don't use common sense anymore and then wonder why people have an attitude dealing with stupidity. You're in the customer service industry. I walked in happy and left irritated smh. They still have the same cruddy service they did before. Definitely won't return to this one, ever!

Chloe had a smile on her face and she was extremely helpful. Definitely management material. If she is not one she needs to be. I've been in here multiple times with other staff who couldn't provide that type of service. So you are lucky to have this team member.

Update: went to go eat my leftover muffin today and it wasn’t cooked all the way
Asked for a toasted bagel and a coffee
Receive my bagel untoasted
Wait 20 minutes for my coffee
I watch the girl pour my hot coffee into a plastic cup and have to ask her to remake it
My sandwhich isn’t even good
Neither is the coffee really
This is on Friday at like 11 am
If you can’t handle the capacity of a moderate brunch rush then I don’t know what to say
