Bagels & Brew — Restaurant in Marshall

I ate a "special sandwich" here while I was waiting for my laundry. The bagel was well-toasted and the cucumber crunchy. Cream cheese was tasty. Meat in sandwich was ample. Decent price for decent sandwich.

Strawberry smoothie was somewhat subdued in color, syrupy, and had an artificial aftertaste. Very sweet.

If you like Jason Mraz and similar artists, you will enjoy the musical atmosphere.

The decor is bland but in a way that is pleasantly unobtrusive and predictable. Handwritten menus on whiteboards and a colorful bulletin board of current "cream cheese flavors" give the place character.

The staff are young, friendly, competent and relaxed. There are plenty of places to sit, from couches to high stools to standard circular dining tables. The place is quiet during slow hours.

Fun to overhear life stories and banter from the staff from the other side of the room. Classic independent coffee shop vibe. They're not shouting, by the way. The place is just pretty quiet.

Still tasting that strawberry...

Came here from Arizona... I tried daily Grind and this one... Bagel & Brew looked a little sketchy, it's also inside a laundromat so initially I judged it by its appearance, that was a mistake.. They are poring a better cup of coffee that was organic and they were willing to open some other coffees and brew them for me if I wanted.. They were cheerful about it.. I got a red eye but asked if they would leave the shots on the side so I could taste them before I poured it into my coffee.. The espresso was done perfectly not to mention it was the appropriate amount (most places are very stingy) I should have came here in the first place because the daily grind may look nice but they served up 1/2 the amount of espresso and there was zero foam, and they just don't try hard enough.. Save the gas and money and stop at the ugly looking one for kick...

Great coffee and sandwiches, the atmosphere isn't bad either.

Actually I just like that they have couches comfier than the ones in my apartment. Also coffee, delicious, delicious coffee.

It's connected to a Laundromat so I just pop over for some coffee while I read my book and wait.

I normally don't buy actual food there because I think it's a little pricier than I want to spend for a sandwich. But the one time I did it was totally worth it. So I only buy food if I want to splurge. It's also hard to want to spend money on food when I'm already spending a lot on laundry and the coffee makes that hurt a little less so...
