Garfield Hot Bagels — Restaurant in Garfield

I've been going to Garfield bagels since I was 8 (I'm 25 now) There is no better bagel place than here. They were my Sunday morning breakfast with my mom and brother and there was no excitement like waking up Sunday morning to hot bagels. As I grew up, I'd go out of my way to get them before work sometimes, and now that I actually live in Garfield, I continue the tradition and get them on the weekends with my boyfriend.

It's fairly crowded on the weekends and I suggest calling your order in and picking it up. It's also hectic and every employee is buzzing around, but they try really hard to get everyone's order quickly. As someone who worked in a deli as crazy as that, I empathize - it's really draining to work at that pace everyday. I've seen customers get furious at the employees and storm out for the tiniest reasons. Every employee is super nice. This place is cash only, but the Dunkin' 2 stores down has an ATM. The bagels are always hot, whatever butter they use is amazing. I wish I could eat more than one bagel, I'd probably eat 10 if I could haha. Also, the parking lot can be dangerous sometimes, so keep an eye out when backing out of the parking spaces. I wish them all the success...

It's been a good year since this previous update, and I've changed this back to 5 stars. The quality is back to being consistently good, and the staff always knows what I want. Can't find a better bagel shop for miles... Sept 29 2018 Second update in two weeks, down to 3 stars. If the owner cannot hire a baker that can correctly roll a bagel or counter help that cares enough not to put a poor product into my bag only to find a pathetic misshapen item when I get home, I'm starting to look for a new bagel shop.... Update Sept 22 2018 update: dropped to 4 stars, last 3 times I've been here, I've had to wait at least 10 minutes while bagels were baking, the baskets were all empty at 10:30 on a Sunday. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Just awesome bagels, with small grill and deli. Efficient and friendly staff. Perfect no-frills spot for coffee newspaper and lunch or breakfast. And they have...

This place has been my go to for awhile and they make really great bagels at a more than fair price. The reason Im leaving a 2 star review is because the wait it unreasonably long. On multiple occasions I call ahead an order, show up 45 minutes after I had called in and still need to wait for my order to be prepared. Today was the final straw, I ordered at 1045am and walked in at 1130 and the order was still waiting. I ended up standing there for an additonal hour and finally received my food at 1230. It looks like they always put walk in orders before call orders regardless although I did inquire, after 30 minutes of waiting in the store, if my order was being prepared. I would love to continue supporting their business but I cannot justify the amount of time it takes to actually recieve an order and again, this is a reoccurring issue but this time was...
