Bagel Joe's — Restaurant in Melbourne

1st time visit: The environment is AWESOME! Stickers and random paraphernalia on the walls in every direction, many that brought about some nostalgic memories. The place was clean, and smelled like good food!

We ordered off the giant menu above the counter. My wife's order (pastrami with bacon on an everything bagel) was comfortably large (enough for her to get filled up and me to finish it off), whereas my own (breakfast sausage burrito) was adequate. BOTH dishes tasted friggin great. Flavor and freshness get a 10/10.

The coffee however was terrible, I'm sorry to say. It was incredibly hot when we got it (no complaint there!), so I let it cool as I ate my meal. When we were done, I brought my coffee with me. Over the next hour, the coffee somehow tastes progressively worse.

The service: we were greeted cheerfully when we entered, and were not rushed when making our order (which being first timers took a little longer...). Once our orders were taken, we paid at the counter for the meal we were about to have, and we were already being asked for a tip (to which I declined , because I cannot yet judge the service I am about to receive), we got our coffee, and waited in a booth of our choosing.

After 5 - 10 minutes, our food was served. It was HOT, fresh, and delicious. While we enjoyed our meals, we took notice of the awesome array of stickers and other oddities around the place; many treasures for those that enjoyed the '90's.

After eating, we cleaned up after ourselves, disposing of the trash of our meals in the nearby receptacle, and left our serveware at the end of the table. I left a cash tip in the designated tip jar, also at the front counter.

WITHOUT QUESTION, I RECOMMEND THE FOOD!!! Service was kind, quick, and correct. The establishment was clean and entertaining. From my experience, I would order something other than coffee to drink the next time I go, because I will be...

Trios ...

Seems like they do very well for breakfast, because I went for lunch and there were very limited choices of bagels, the server was pleasant and ordering took little time. The interior remind me of an old place that never upgraded to match the 20th century which made it feel homely. I had the trios special. It contained chicken salad, tuna and macaroni salad. I will say that the chicken salad was delicious, fresh and good mmmm. The tuna was OK, I found it a bit too dry and had to mix it with the macaroni salad which had a lot of moisture. Coworker had a bagel sandwich with egg and spoke highly of it. Prices were a bit steep, I don't know if its because of the crisis that the country is in, but I noticed that these days it is impossible to go to a restaurant and eat lunch without spending $15. I think I spent around $12 which included a drink and that was one of the cheaper lunch items. I will definitely go back and try a bagel sandwich next time, I am wondering if they boil their bagel before baking them like they do in NY. I was wondering when did a bagel 🥯 sandwich became so expensive? I remembered when I lived in NY a bagel with cream cheese and coffee was around 3-4 dollars. But that...

These are the only New York bagels in Brevard County. They're family business, moved here from Long Island and they know what they're doing when it comes to an egg sandwich. If you know, you know. This place is so packed every single day. You got to go in there and fight for your life because people will buy out all of the bagels before 11 am. They are just too delicious. One of my favorite things is that they have their entire family working there. Including their kids. Support local, support small, support families. The selfishness in me wants them to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at my bagel craving convenience. If they are not open, I will not be eating a bagel that day. Nothing compares to this place. I die a little bit inside every Monday and Tuesday when they're closed. Hurts my soul. I want them to expand. I want them to have a million bagel shops so people in this state understand what a good bagel is. But, support local, support small, support families. The people who own it are the people who run it and their families are the ones who are working there. Got to love that.
