Park Avenue Bagels — Restaurant in Guttenberg

When I walked into this bagel shop it looked nice and I figured it would be a good place since there was a lot of people eating and a good bagel shop is needed in the area. Unfortunately it is not as good as it looks. I purchased 6 plain bagels, a side order of sausage and a plain bagel with vegetable spread. $12.00 dollars spent, that's about average. Here is the results of that purchase:

My oldest daughter had a track meet this morning and loves bagels, I was able to drop off 2 bagels to her before she left to her meet. Soon after I drove home and once we opened the bag, the disappointment began.

(1)My wife's bagel had a thin layer of veggie spread, now the other 2 bagel shops they usually pile it on, this place barely put anything on. (2)My younger daughter said it was OK, but had better. (3)For my self, COMPLETE LET DOWN. Here's the kicker and the most expensive one.... (4)My oldest daughter calls me from the school bus saying " I snapped my coil in my braces" and " Where did you get these bagels?"

Thank God that the coil is not rubbing up against her gums and cheeks, but now she has to wait until Tuesday to get this repaired. Thanks Park Avenue Bagels.

The bagels are not fresh and definitely not hand made, they are brought in from some where else. They look , feel and taste like the bagels that you would get from Dunkin Donuts, no offense.

As a multiple business owner, I suggest you take a look at your business again and make some changes so that you can be in business for decades, not years.

Basic bagel place that's over priced . Only bagel shop in the area besides Dunkin' Donuts so I guess that's why they're over priced. If you're looking for a place with drama and the cook nodding off while making your food then this is your place!! I've been there only twice. First time I went during the weekend and waited about 15min for a simple egg and cheese on a bagel. It was good but nothing to write home about. The miserable guy and the dry unkind woman behind the counter seem like the owners because all they did was fight and scream in front of me and other customers....awkward to say the least. Second time, I went before work to grab my simple breakfast sandwich and again waited awhile for my sandwich and coffee while having to listen to the guy behind the counter scream and demean some small Spanish chick that was running around doing what he said cause she looked too scared to defend herself. Needless to say I'm never going back there and telling my friends and patients not to give him any business either. Anyone that can speak to women the way this guy does, doesn't deserve a penny or anyone else's. I'm assuming the people that have had great experiences here haven't seen and experienced what I've...

I knew I was in trouble when I asked the girl is the bread crusty or soft which she answered " it has mayonnaise" and something else I forget anyway I said no no I'm talking about the bread is it crusty or soft mushy bread from like a supermarket? She says "well I can show you the bread" she could not answer a simple bread question that any bread lover knows what I mean good Italian or French or even Portuguese bread is nice and crusty on the outside soft on the inside you know nobody wants Supermarket bread, anyway I was hungry working far away from where I usually work so I said okay just just give me the roast beef with mozzarella turned out to be very soft bread and the roast beef was over cooked Also before I left I asked the other girl could I have some extra napkins she says everything is in the bag, everything you need is in the bag. "Yes but I want EXTRA napkins because there's no dining in I have to eat outside in the car and I'm a sloppy eater, and she just doesn't smile or anything totally no personality, anyway, food pretty good considering the bread. Oh and the coffee is great. Personality wise I took away a star for no personality, I think these girls...
