The Bagel Shop

This is only based on a bagel with butter, but that's the key menu item that should be good at a bagel joint. It wasn't. I wouldn't get bagels here again considering there are numerous other awesome places.

This is a review of extremes which is why I am giving it a THREE - an average of FIVE & ONE.

The FIVE - great food, excellent prices, huge portions. We were visiting from out of town and ate here both mornings. The omlettes, home fries, coffee, smoothies were ALL excellent and hot.

The ONE - it is dirty. The floor is filthy, the tables had crumbs, everything felt grimey. When I asked the counter person to clean our table, he did so with a dirty looking rag and then I watched as he made our breakfast without gloves and without washing his hands. GROSS!

Judge for yourself. I think this place could be a gold mine with a reasonable investment in some new flooring, tables, paint, decor, uniforms because the food Is terrific.

Decent  bagels...not too doughy...definitely not the best in the area but I didn't feel like driving another 15 minutes to Nyack hot bagels (which make me cry)!!! I had a good bagel here and an excellent cup of joe!!!  Warning! You have to be willing to run the gauntlet...dodging texting drivers wielding oversized SUVs! Be careful in the lot and if you make it inside ..you will find a clean shop and friendly staff. I'm coming back to try some different breakfast delights next week.
