Blazing Bagels — Restaurant in Commerce Charter Township

So, I debated whether to post and I decided to, though the employee may have a different view (She may be the owner, I have no idea)

I am in town visiting and love coming here. The woman with the short hair has always not been very nice to employees (when I have been there) and to me. But today, I asked for a bagel, I didn’t think I wanted anything on it, but when I got to the register, I thought about getting some lox spread. I asked the price to the cashier. Nothing more.

She came over and berated me for not having asked before. She wanted an answer as to why I didnt ask when she asked. I quickly said it was fine, just the bagel, to the girl at the register and She took my money. She told the woman, I was just asking for a price.

When she gave me my change, just for a second I was mistaken and I thought I gave her a 20 But I gave her a 10. I was very nervous by that point . I quickly realized that I didn’t (Like five seconds). Before I could even say to the girl at the register, I’m sorry that was my mistake, The woman came over again and berated the girl for not leaving the money on the tray before giving me my change. Which she actually did, It was my mistake 100%. I said that as I felt bad for the girl. She didn’t do anything wrong.

The girl on the register was very nice but clearly uncomfortable. The older woman Asked what was wrong and I just told her she was being mean. Which is simple but true. It was totally unnecessary to come at me like that. I wasn’t rude, I didn’t make demands. There was absolutely no need to be anything but kind to me. As a small business owner myself, I know that people can be unreasonable and demanding. But this was not it. I left feeling very discouraged.

II probably won’t be back. She made the experience so uncomfortable.

By the way, I gave it two stars because of the girl at the counter was super nice as was her male counterpart. That should not go unnoticed

Edit- When I got home, the bagel is Not what I’ve always gotten in the past. It’s kind of stale and hard. ...

We try to stop by here whenever we are in the area. This bagel shop is very popular especially on Saturday morning, you might end up parking in the grass, but the line will go by relatively swiftly with the ordering process they have in place. There is no inside seating at this time, so you'll have to eat your goodies in the car or checkout the nearby Mill Race Park just down the street.

We like to get the Hank Greenberg, which is a Lox sandwich with capers, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and cream cheese. Toppings are all optional of course, but they bring freshness to the chewiness of the bagel.

There is also a small shop that is attached with unique home decor that can be a nice housewarming type of gift. Stop by, have a bagel and...

This is my favorite place to get bagels by far! It is a very interesting building - an old gas station that they took the time to convert into a bagel shop - and the business moved from a smaller location in a strip mall to this one several years ago. Their selection is quite large, and their bagels are fresh. They also have some flavored coffee usually, as well as many flavors of cream cheese and many sandwich options. They also tend to be pretty quick about getting you your food, even when they are very busy (which they often are - a good sign). I've been very satisfied every time I come here. You should definitely check this place out for breakfast if you haven't and you...
