I remembered this place from when I used to work at a clothing store in the area and since I needed to buy Kosher food I decided to stop by. The line was long but their was an employee making sure that people were standing on their "dots" as to avoid any close contact. The parking lot was crowded but I did find a spot which was great. I looked around and was quite impressed with the selection. Not as impressed with the cashier who didn't seem thrilled when I said "I'll be needing several items today." It was also difficult to hear (and to be heard) over the crowd and the plastic barriers (which I appreciate and was glad to see.) I placed an order and wanted a cream cheese as well and was informed that they were in the refrigerator behind me (the cashier acted as if I should have known this, must have missed this part on my "Bagel Boss layout" exam.) I think that the prices are a bit high but considering the area, they are consistent with the surrounding businesses. I did not eat the food but my young niece and nephew enjoyed their egg/cheese sandwiches, cucumber salad, and lox cream cheese (it cost me a small fortune so they better like it,) they were not crazy about the tuna salad. The muffins were quite large as they should be since they cost as much as a house. Also, the woman who was making sure that people were spaced apart should not be touching people. She touched the man in front of me to move him to "his spot." I would not have been comfortable with her being that close (to me) nor would I want a stranger to place her/his hands on me. I am all about following the protocol and appreciate their safety efforts but let's remember to keep our distance. I look forward to stopping by here again.....after I win the Lotto. Stay safe...
Read moreNo place to wash hands !!!!! If you want to wash your hands for hygiene reason you need to wait until somebody gets out of the bathroom then go in after them with the smell to get to wash your hands then touch the bathroom handle and come and sit at your table in which by then you lost your appetite!
Now if you want to wash your hands for religious reasons you need to take the Netila prayer washing cup from their FAUCET-LESS washing station and wait for somebody to come of the bathroom for you to Finn and fill it up in the toilet and then come out and go back to their FAUCET-LESS washing station they made and do your wash prayer there .
Not sure what goes through the mind of management for being cheap to connect faucet outside the bathroom for the washing station.
This place is relatively big , busy ,a lot of staff and customers ,and since female and male bathrooms are separate , a washing station can significantly improve the bathroom and washing hand waiting time and traffic in addition to improving hygiene.
I came in really hungry and looking forward to my meal in which a very log time for somebody to come out of male bathroom so I can actually go in to wash my hands led me to write this review ,the fact that I didn’t need to use the bathroom but only needed to wash my hands and I had to wait so long and then go in after who was in there for so long and then you surely don’t want to look at any food !!!!!
SHAME SHAME SHAME on...
Read moreI have been coming to this kosher bagel shop since they first opened, but I have been disappointed with the changes that have been made recently. I believe since early this year the bagels are now super sweet and less enjoyable, and the flagels are no longer flat and crispy. The prices have also become outrageous, with a flagel with nothing on it costing $2.50 and a mini plain bagel costing $1. Most of the salads are also overpriced, starting at $18/lb, lacking flavor or the appropriate seasoning.
The staff is also not very friendly or helpful. They are often rude, obnoxious, and condescending. If they treat you poorly you have had to stand up to them in order to get them to be polite or at least they become aware of their bad behavior.
I come here seldom and wouldn't be eager to recommend this store like I used to. The quality of the food has declined, the prices are too high, and the staff is rude. I hope that a new kosher bagel shop will open up soon and provide some healthy competition since BB is the only...
