  This place gets absolutely insane on the weekends. The reason? The bagels. They're pretty good. Really good, actually. The spreads are pretty wonderful as well. Live a little when you're there, don't just go for plain cream cheese. The lox spread is excellent if you're into that sort of thing, and goes beautifully on an egg or onion bagel (which is my regular order now!). The other varieties are good as well: vegetable, maple walnut, jalepeno, etc.
  Okay, once you get past the awesome bagels, things get a bit dicey. Customer service? Hit or miss. Owner is nice, and service tends to be pretty spot on when he's in, but when the cat's away... One of the adult counter guys is also wonderful, always throws in an extra blueberry mini-muffin when I bring my son in for breakfast because he knows he likes them. The local High Schoolers behind the counter can go anywhere from well-meaning but clueless to sullen and barely competent. Cross your fingers, hope for the best, and make your order CRYSTAL clear.
  Sandwiches. They look so delicious on the board. The problem? They microwave them. Seriously. Eggs? Microwaved. Breakfast meat? Microwaved. Pizza bagels? Microwaved. I think you get the picture.
  If you go during the week and want a bagel with a schmear of something, you'll probably do well here. If you want anything else, consider yourself warned.

  Decent bagels, but if you want a breakfast sandwich, I would look at other places nearby.

  This place has the most amazing bagels I've ever had! The bagels have the perfect crust (is that what it's called?) and the inside is soft and almost fluffy. There is a good variety of flavors with an equal variety of cream cheese flavors. Best of all, they are always made fresh in the morning.
  
  I highly recommend this establishment: just remember, there are no preservatives so after about a day the bagels start to dry out and get hard.
