Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shoppe — Restaurant in New York

Good Bagels, but something is seriously off. They have some good bagels and good tasting fish/cream cheeses. I would even go so far as recommending their food if you don't mind the other thing. The other thing being is every time I walk out of that place, I feel like I'm being screwed. Every time i go in there the prices seem to change or they just choose to charge me different prices. The last times I have gone in there, I have ordered the same exact thing, (4 bagels and 1/2 pound of whitefish), yet the prices are different every time: $14.00, $12.00, $12.50, $13.50, and today $13.00). It's not surprising with their cash only policy, even knows they have a computer right next to the register,, but why do they have something blocking their register screen. You can't see what numbers they input or the total. amount being charged. Either there is complete incompetence by the cashier, every cashier that they hire are stealing from them ( not sure how you can find that many in a row), they are doing something shady, or massive fluctuations in the White Fish futures market. ;) I've been holding off writing this review because of the times we are in, I don't want to see any restaurant go under. But these antics have been going on for years and it's just not right. That is why today was my last attempt at trying to help this local business. I will never walk in their doors again. There are two much better bagel shops down the block, They have better bagels, they let you see what they are charging, and pricing...

I went into this store this morning and placed a simple order for a whole wheat everything bagel with low fat vegetable cream cheese. After it was clear that customers who came in after me already had their order (I did not ask for the bagel toasted) I inquired. I was told it was coming right up and I was asked to pay $4.40. I finally got the bagel and was given a regular everything bagel. When I pointed out that I ordered whole wheat everything they asked me to wait. I then received another bagel. This time is was just a regular whole wheat bagel. Given that I was now waiting almost 10 minutes for a non-toasted bagel and they got a simple order wrong twice, I asked for my money back. She only gave me back $4.00 - I was so frustrated at that point I did not even asked for the other $.40. Bagels looked good (not that I ever had the opportunity to taste one) but the service was abysmal. They should have offered me a free bagel but instead the cashier was annoyed when I kept pointing out that I was being given something other than...

Each and every visit is a pleasant experience. The artisans are the best, the BAGELS ARE THE BEST AND are CREATED fresh daily. The counter executives pay attention to orders with care, grace and a winning and genuine smile! Not too mention that the lines can sometimes be long (especially on the weekends), but the line moves with precision and rhythm. The register executive staff at the counter are generally approachable, and greet customers openly and reply nicely with beautiful words like, hi and hello. Thank you and how're you doing. The leader of the team is Frankie, and he is all matter of a cool vibe on a smooth Autumn evening. Also of appreciative mention is Adam.

Victoria, LeShawn, and the Entire Team are winners of everything cool and set the bar of success! Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shoppe is great for Brooklyn because Brooklyn is the place to be, and it stands as a testament to what a good business looks like.

Sending a huge round of applause and a High-5!

Thank you much and see you around th...
