The bagels were bland. The texture was good but could use a little more height. Similar to Einstein Bros but without flavor. To make things worse I had to schmear my own bagel for a to go order and didn't know one container had frosting and the other had cream cheese so that was just lovely.
After paying 10 dollars and waiting 20 min for 2 bagels with plain cream cheese, I took a bite hoping for something better than flavored bread, but instead got a bite of bland bread and burnt seeds. Hoping the cream cheese would make it better, I put that on and surprise! Cake frosting! Haha.
Bagels are supposed to be a quick bite. If the cream cheese wasn't even being put on the bagel, why do people ordering simple fast items have to wait 20 min for other people to get their breakfast sandwiches first? The order filling process could def use some more efficiency.
Yeah, it sucked...was really looking forward to bagels and not the type panera or einstein bros put out. Maybe my wife and I will give it another chance in a year or so after the recipe and customer experience...
Read moreHaving never eaten here - but needing a breakfast catering solution for a birthday party in Galveston - I ordered a taco and fruit tray as well as bagels and cream cheese here for a party at the Galveston Children's Musuem.
When I first received my invoice I thought the pricing was a little high - BUT then I went and picked up my order the morning of the event and was BLOWN AWAY at the value of what I had purchased. Not only was everything ready on time AND beautifully packaged / presented - but it was a TON of food. The service at the shop was impeccable - they carried the trays to my car and helped me load everything up even in the midst of all of the construction.
Guests RAVED about the food. And - though I'm not a big bagel person - my sister INSISTED I try the everything bagel with chive cream cheese and holy SMOKES. Even untoasted - hands down best bagel I've ever had. Sorry hot bagel shop - you've been beat out as best bagel in Houston and surrounding areas. I'll make a drive to the island ANYTIME I'm in the mood for a bagel from...
Read moreWho doesn’t love a side of roaming flies on an overpriced bagel or burrito?! Whole case full of flies, where the bagels sit, along with the whole restaurant being full of them. Every single table available was dirty, and there was NO difference between the heat outside to the inside. The “coffee bar” experience was a joke as well. It took two teenage girls 15 minutes to make two basic coffees, which we paid $17 for. Said barista also refused to even give us our receipt, I guess we were interrupting her gossip session with her coworker about the business staff and the owners of GBC. I was honestly looking forward to the experience because some people have said good things… but it was a SOLID no. Microwaved food with gourmet prices. I remember when this place used to be a total whole in the wall with fantastic burgers!! I’d take the random hobos and outdoor benches for tables over this any day! “Professional chef” owner is like your weird thief cousin telling everyone he’s a “mobile...
