Ani's Bagel Cafe — Restaurant in Exeter

Cute little bagel shop located right next to a flower shop! I got a bacon, egg, and cheddar on a foccasia bagel. It was amazing!! Clearly made fresh and portion size was generous. I also got a white chocolate iced latte that had a great flavor and gave me a much needed caffeine kick. I also picked up a bakers dozen of bagels. They look so good! All their bagel sandwiches are really customizable and they have a ton of coffee flavors. Also some unique bagel types I haven't tried anywhere else. Plenty of parking and also a nice area to walk around in. If I had a suggestion it would just be that the bagel sandwich came in the same bag as the 13 bagels so I had to rebag these to get the sandwich. Also the to go window is super cute but the ice in my coffee melted sitting in the sun at the window. I got a bakers dozen and got one less bagel than I should have but a small mistake I'm sure this happens if they're busy. Just a few minor ideas but everything else was great, good service and high...

Save the regrets with cream cheese - just order plain. I ordered a 6 grain bagel toasted, with cream cheese and olive schmear (you pay more for a schmear than a bagel).

Brought it home, first problem - wasn't toasted - as in, was never even placed in the toaster.

I cut the bagel in half, then separated it to eat. If there was HALF of one small green olive with pimento mixed in - perhaps by using a food processor set to ”destroy” - I was unable to locate it.

The 6 grain bagel - with grains sprinkled on the plain bagel, is NOT made with 6 grain flour - the dough is made with WHITE FLOUR.

Were they busy? Fair question. NO. I got in line behind two women talking, only one was in line, and I saw no other person even walking toward the order window from the parking lot or from the garden center.

Would I order here again? NO. Lucky for me, it's not nearby - I just happened to be in the neighborhood, a rarity. I'll be certain not to leave home hungry, should my travels take me...

I have no idea how this place has so many high reviews. Went this morning: large iced coffee, small hot chocolate, plain bagel, and breakfast sandwich. 15 minutes and $20 later....bagel is ice cold and had (no exaggeration) a full cup of cream cheese saturating it, breakfast sandwich was ok but the meat was not traditional bacon, iced coffee had a caramel swirl that made the drink taste like artificial sweetener, and a hot chocolate that tasted like a cup of hot water. I poured the hot chocolate out after two sips, and lo and behold there was a clump of chocolate something stuck to the bottom of the cup---would it have killed the employee to make sure the drink was mixed? Pretty difficult to mix your own drink while driving, especially when not given a stirrer or spoon to do so. Both the plain bagel and foccacia bagel with the sandwich were surprisingly thin. Not impressed at all, we will...
