Bloomin' Bagels — Restaurant in Bloomsburg

I went to college at Bloomsburg University, and Bloomin Bagels opened back then, while I was going to school there. I've been going to it whenever I'm in the area ever since. Now, I work in Bloomsburg a couple of days a week and stop more than I should for a bagel in the mornings. The staff is always very friendly and professional. The service is quick. Prices are not bad. However, my go-to is a poppyseed bagel with cream cheese. They seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes on. There are basically no poppy seeds on the bagels. I hate to leave a bad review like this, but it is getting absolutely ridiculous! There is a fantastic bagel shop in Lewisburg, and their poppyseed bagels are literally black. Why? Because they are completely covered all around in poppyseeds! They are amazing. As much as I love Bloomin Bagels and feel loyalty to them, they have been severely lacking, getting worse over time. When I stopped in on Wednesday and she was putting cream cheese on my bagel, I asked if that was my poppyseed bagel. She said "yes". I said "okay, I just wasn't sure because I don't see any poppyseeds on it". She didn't say anything. Pictured here is the bagel that I received. 11/22/22 edit: This morning I stopped at Bloomin Bagels II on my way to work. I stop at both often. This time, it was the one on Route 11. Same exact thing: almost no poppy seeds anywhere. As I watched the process, I noticed that it had a decent amount of poppy seeds to start. As the staff handle the bagel, slicing it, and then putting cream cheese on it and wrapping it, absolutely all the poppy seeds fall off through the process. Like, they just don't stick! I know this is not an issue at most bagel places. Maybe they should research how to make the toppings actually stay on the bagel? The last photo I added just now is my bagel from this morning. You can see that it is exactly the same as the one from Bloomin Bagels on...

Awesome lil shop with great food options breakfast n lunch. Plenty of options for toast n bagels and breakfast sandwiches as well as deli sandwiches n burgers n such for lunch. A good selection of beverages. Friendly fast service. Great corner shop location but limited direct metered parking. Only streetside parking on front side which fills up fast but can loop around n park on other side or go just round corner to metered parking lot by diner which always seemed to have space. Plenty of flavor options for fresh bagels and cream cheese and they even check to make sure there's enough cream cheese on ur bagel ! Great stop worth...

I called Bloomin bagel and spoke with Jack , he was the nicest, most accommodating person I’ve spoken to in a long time. I needed somewhat of a favor and he was able to help me work it out.
