Stumbled upon this place looking for a good (not too commercial) spot for good bagel & lox. Well, let me tell you, this place definitely delivered that and more! I enjoyed the ambiance, the free parking (not easy to find in Coral Gables), the coffee & the bagels!
I ordered the Coral Way Bagel sandwich on an everything bagel. This amazing sandwich includes egg white, nova lox & onions. This bagel was amazing! I was thinking of maybe adding cream cheese, but I enjoyed it so much on its own! I also ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with... GUAVA (yes Guava, this is the best part of my trip here 1000%) cream cheese! Amazing amazing amazing! The coffee was great, nothing extraordinary about it, I had ordered a latte... but it was really good :) No complaints on any of the food here & I'll be back to get some more goodies!
The ambiance was nice, it was practically empty for being a Monday morning (maybe it was the fact that I was there around 10am, the rat racers are at work...) the free parking was one of the best perks! I'm sure that wouldn't be as easy during a rush time.. It was quiet, there was free wi-fi, service was wonderful, staff was so sweet and knowledgeable... There's outdoor seating if you're into that (I hate heat)... I mean a well rounded great experience.
I loved everything about this trip, will definitely come back! Good spot for some bagels! and Free parking in the Gables?!?...
Read moreOne of the most upsetting visits I’ve had in a restaurant in a while. There is a looming cloud of negativity behind the line. The lady with the tattoos who took our order was very nice and treated us great. we got two coffees and two bagels and ended up paying $45 for something was comparable to gas station food. They didn’t put any effort into preparing our food. I have had food from here before and it’s pretty alright. The prices have skyrocketed and the quality has taken a nose dive. When I went to go pick up my order, I got a hot coffee. I ordered an iced one. I was not bothered by this at all but I was bothered when I VERY KINDLY requested one of the ladies to replace my coffee. She had headphones on and was talking on the phone while restocking cups and preparing food. She took her headphones out to hear what I had to say, and gave me the nastiest look, and attitude, shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes at me, while she started to make my drink again. So I told her to disregard it and I decided to leave. I honestly don’t expect nor do I want special treatment when I go to a restaurant, all I want is just some basic respect and to get some decent quality food. I used to work in restaurants for four years and honestly I understand that it can be tough sometimes but it’s the job we signed up for at the...
Read moreTheir motto, "it doesn't take Einstein to know we're the best". To each his own as they both have different things going for them. Neither places have the authentic Brooklyn/Staten Island bagels but they can both stand tall.
While Einstein Bagels around the corner has an excellent jalapeno salsa shmear, Toasted Bagelry has their own uniquely superb jalapeno cream cheese made with FRESH JALAPENOS (unlike pickled).
They assembled a fantastic sandwich for me, packed to the top and have greater variety to boot. There is a damn good rain this place is always bustling.
The bagels themselves are a pedestrian with the holes being a little too big for my preference reducing the ring width thus making a hard-to-eat sandwich. That being said, none of these things should prevent you from dining here. I absolutely loved this place and their selections.
They also serve freshly squeezed orange juices (unlike Einstein Bros Bagels even though since may actively mislead you) that are reasonably priced and delicious.
Regarding the coffee, it is very mediocre, goes well with the food but don't expect...
