Traveling to Dublin from Sacramento for a work project. Passing through, like to try hole in the wall places or not too many businesses that are not Franchised chains. So for Lunch, I decided to try Bagel Street Cafe. Once I entered, also there were people eating their sandwiches in the outdoor seating area. There was a line almost to the door. Thought to myself, this must be very good. The staff was hustling with customer orders as the line got thinned out.
The sandwich I tried was the Bagel Street Club (Turkey, Cheese and Avocado), of course with a fair amount of condiments of vegetables like Green Leaf Lettuce (Ramain), Cucumber, Tomato, Avocado, sprouts, Peperccini, Pickles, with Mayo. You can choose from their fresh variety of backed Breads (sliced) which is an Up-Charge of 50 Cents or have a decent prices Bagel sandwich. You get a choice of their selection of Cheese (I selected Chedder) and I chose Sour Dough sliced bread because they ran out of Plain Bagel, but all they had left were Chedder Cheese Bagel (had Cheese that seemed to be melted on top of the bagel. The person behind me ordered a Cheese Bagel for their Sandwich. I asked if that person orders it all thr time and is is good. The person said it is awesome. Well, I will try "awesome" if l happen to roll back to Dublin again.
Let me tell you about the Bread and that delicious tower of a belly filling monstrosity that they call a sandwhich ......ummmmm!!!!!! The Bread, light toasted on both sides which is a thicker than usual slice that you won't find at a grocery stores. It had a light crisp crunch and in biting through the toppings, feeling the crunch of the fresh veggies and tasting a myriad of the characteristic of each ingredient. None of these flavors overpowered the other. I seems like a good marriage of everything combined which seemed so Devine, like it was mine!!!!
The staff employee, sandwich crafter that created my sandwich was very quick in assembling it, I was amazed. Unofficially, I give the Bagel Street Cafe's sandwich crafter and the sandwhich enjoyment at 5 Star rating, but sadly will officially give a 4 Star rating due to the fact they do not provide for a Military or Veterans Discount. This is a great place...
Read moreI experienced one of the worst service here. I ordered 2 veggie Deluxe and one sliced lox sandwich here. The woman who took my order was behaving as if she was doing a great favor to me by accepting my order. I let it slide thinking she might be having a bad day. I paid for my order .. keep in mind all the three sandwiches I ordered are higher priced sandwiches compared to their regular fare of very ordinary sandwiches.
My wife and son got their veggie deluxe sandwiches and after one bite they realized that these were not veggie deluxe. They had given me regular veggie eggwich which doesn't have any taste. So I went back to the counter and told them this is what had happened. Instead of apologizing about their mistake, the guy at the counter started quarreling with me. Asking me to pay for another veggie deluxe because we had taken a bite from the sandwich that they had given me earlier. Dude seriously ?
When I said, I will yelp about it, he said who is going to read it anyway :-) this dude works in restaurant business and has zero sense of customer service.
From here onwards, I will always go to speciality which is just an exit away from this horrible place, has more choices, is dog friendly and their customer service is...
Read moreOur breakfast destination of choice every weekend. These folks have some great variety of bagels. We go mostly on the weekends and this place gets crowded between 8AM to 1030AM. The staff are very friendly and polite. Their service is fast too. Typically, one of them serves and one of them manages the cash counter. Very well synchronized like an assembly line :). You keep moving through the Queue ordering, waiting and paying.
We have been going to this place for the last couple of months and not once has the quality or taste of bagels changed. They serve fresh and the spread is great. The prices are reasonable as well. They are located in a great place. The store is clean and family friendly. You find a few tables outside the store. If you have pets, you probably find them useful. Parking on the weekend gets to be a bit of a problem. But I have never really waited for more than 5min to get a spot. I love their Cinnamon Raisin Bagels with Sun Dried Tomato spread.
If you are in Dublin and looking for a place to get Bagel or Sandwiches. Try this one. You...
