Howard's Bagels — Restaurant in Montville Township

Honeslty I stopped going here for awhile, I've worked in town for about 10 years and lived here for 1. Several years ago I had a hair on my cream cheese bagel and started going to the other place on changebridge. When the other place closed for awhile to remodel I tried this place again. It seemed to be going well, I do agree with others that they don't toast your bagel when asked which fine whatever, but yesterday I went there and got bagel sandwiches.
