Bagel City – South — Restaurant in Florida

Had breakfast here this morning, and I am not going to take it anymore! Rampant price gouging should not be tolerated no matter who the culprits. We the consumers are the driving force of our economy and no need to drive us away to the braking point and trigger a recession. Here is the story. Ordered 2 poached eggs+bagel +side of bacon and coffee = $17.90 Shocked I said to the waitress wow $17.90 for a breakfast that I used to have for $10.? Her answer arrogantly: “ did you see the prices of gasoline?” Now that answer rubbed me the wrong way. Decided to share with the public the mindset of some restaurants and their employees. I continue to eat out and most places raise their prices within reason and acceptable norms, no gouging. I left after tipping the bus boy $2, and left $1 on the table for the waitress. She ran to me wanting to give me the $ back saying “ you need it more” my reply “ it’s commensurate to gasoline prices my dear” . Maybe and probably I have been out of line, so be it. Going forward will call out price gouging wherever I find it unabashedly practiced. Here...

Stopped in on a whim looking for a new bagel place to try. On first impression the outside patio is charming and would be the perfect place to sit for a nice get together. Once inside it has a very New Yorkish vibe going on with the workers. They have a bunch of standard bagels and toppings , nothing original but the basics are well covered (garlic, onion, marble, salt, sesame, everything, rye, pumpernickel, cinnamon raisin, etc)

My fault for not verifying prices but this place is expensive for my order compared to others. 6 dollars for my bagel with a specialty cream cheese (scallions) would be $4.19 at Brooklyn water bagels or $3.69 at Bronx Deli. I could forgive if the portions matched but the bagel was standard size and the cream cheese was a standard smear: enough you got a flavor in each bite but nothing overwhelming. For $6 it wasn't worth the value to me, but if I were looking for basic bagels to buy for the house or to host an event I would consider them worth the stop on the way to Publix for...

The worst bagel place ever. My detailed review of 5 years ago has been deleted somehow, here is is again (it is still posted on Yelp):

Just awful service and food. I took my niece and her daughter there for breakfast recently and had about the worst service ever from a waitress who could have cared less about anything. I ordered scrambled eggs, they came out cold and, when I let her know, she gave me a dirty look, took them back, and just threw them in the microwave to heat them up (and made them uneatable). I told the owners at the register and they did....NOTHING other than ask me to give them another try. How about taking the price of the eggs off the check? Actually, I'm glad they didn't or I wouldn't have written this review. As for the bagels, they aren't very good either (I'm an ex-NYer, I know a good bagel when I taste one). Very doughy, no real crustiness to speak of, and you can do better somewhere else. I live a few blocks away and will never walk in...
