Bagel Bar - Kingston — Restaurant in Kingston

Very dirty. Floors, tables, bathroom, overflowed garbages. Sticky tables. The menu looked good so we thought we would try it. It is very difficult locating your food coming out if kitchen window which is also used to put dirty dishes going into kitchen. Seemed that they need to have a manager on site to help coordinate communication between the testy cooking staff and the girls taking orders. And most importantly cleaning the place up. I walked into the bathroom and it was so discusting i walked right out. See pics. The entire ordering through finding your food was a difficult process. First bagel returned because it was hard as a brick. They charged for every ingredient including basil and sugar. Just a sad experience. I felt bad for the girl trying to locate my order when the cook snapped at her for waisting her time. Bagels and in display out in the public area next to ordering line and front door and not covered at all. Kids and adults walk right next to them where some cough or sneeze etc. Just not sanitary. If you look at my pictures in detail and blow them up yo u will see that the managememt which does not seem to exist on site does not consider sanitation a priority. Even in the kitchen they store open spagetti sause on the floor. Yuck. This place would be shut down if an...

I stopped in about 2 months ago. I have heard rave reviews so i decided to give this place a try. The first visit I ordered take out , got home and realized they gave me the wrong order. I called and the lady working the counter i think her name was Annie, told me she would put my name down for a free sandwich next visit. I decided to try again today , I stopped in while out running errands. The place was packed , rude people cutting in line and kids running around the restaurant. It was extremely loud and a lot going on and my son with autism was starting to have a meltdown. We had to wait almost 45min for our to go bagel sandwiches. I also mentioned to the lady working the counter that my name was put down from a previous visit for a free sandwich and she refused to honor it. I have a food instagram page and I was looking forward to posting some photos and a great review but it just wasn’t the case. I don’t think I will be back...

My feeling is this on Bagel Bar…if you are Jewish or from NY, this place will remind you of home/be a local hotspot for you and be 5/5

However, I must say I was not impressed with the food (burnt croissant, average bagel egg and potato sandwich, and donut) or the drink (okay coffee and a super sweet boba tea)

The parking is not ideal

The tables are sticky with debris in between cracks. Three tables were not cleaned up with plates and such while we were there. BOH staff clearly uninterested in their job…because the place is new, I feel it masks the reality of how dirty it may be.

In my mind, I cannot figure out how a dirty (not filthy) restaurant with decent food and poor parking is doing this well. They must have a very supportive community giving...
