Front register Dale told me that they were out of plain cream cheese for the half dozen bagels I already began to order. He proceeded to go to the back and came out with the single servings of cream cheese. He told me I could only have 5. When I told him I wanted 6 for the 6 bagels I was buying, he told me I was acting entitled. As a paying customer I found that so rude, when in fact, I was willing to pay for the extra cream cheese. He didn’t ask me to pay for it nor did he tell me how much the extra cream cheese would have been because he was too focused on being rude on Christmas Eve in a customer service setting. Dale did this location a disservice with his lack of customer service skills.

Every time I come here, colonial heights the kitchen manager is rude unfriendly, Never makes sure the food comes out properly. Every time I order a customized simple avocado toast , there is an issue with it and an issue with her attitude. The gentleman at the register is super friendly and over worked.
I paid extra for cilantro , extra avocado garlic aioli and bacon. There was just a small smear of avocado and 1 leaf piece of cilantro literally.
