Stopped by to pick up a medium sized order at 6 am when they are supposed to open. The entrance door was still locked but the exit it was open. Went in and stood at the counter for several minutes before a worker from the back asked if Id been helped. The older man at the counter (who should have noticed me, since he was less than 5 feet from me) said, "Oh, I didnt know we were open. I guess it is 6 am.) and instead of waiting on me he made me wait for him to walk around the counter, walk around me, to unlock the door. I would have thought a more customer friendly thing to do would have been wait on me, put my items in the toaster and THEN worry about unlocking a door that no one was at.

I like the bagels here, but man are they stingy. They will charge you for every little extra they can think of. If you want to try a sample of a cream cheese before you put it on your bagel, rather than give it to you on a slice of bread, bagel, etc like every other restaurant, they will cut off a piece of your bagel to use for the sample. If you want an extra slice of cheddar cheese be prepared to fork over an extra $2.00. Again, dont get me wrong the bagels are about the best youll find in Bloomington. But the service is abrupt and stingy. Most of the reviews here are positive so hopefully my server was just having a bad day.

IU almun. Below average, back in town from Colorado visiting. Stopped in for a breakfast bagel and the girl helping me didnt bother asking anything more than the type of bagel I wanted. I wanted schmear and toppings. She was more interested socializing with her friends behind the counter. After she handed the bagel to me I wasnt sure if I was getting a free bagel or if she literally just forgot the last step in this process. Ringing me up. Jesus. Customer service no good here. Nice new spot though. Just need nice new attentive people working. Whomp.. prob wont we stopping in for bagels my next visit.

I have very fond memories of this place! I used to go here everyday when I was in college, BA Economics, 2003. The bagels, service, and coffee are to die for! The schmears are great... I usually got regular crème cheese or salmon or blueberry schmear with my bagels! Whenever I go back to Bloomington, I revisit this location! To top it off, the owner is very friendly! 100%

I simply love bagels and they got best of them. My favorite is the 11 grain every seed bagel with honey roasted almond schmear.. its just delicious.. and their seasonal specials like walnut cranberry bagel is my favorite again.. it is unfortunate that they are not selling the specials anymore. This place rocks.. only con is the bagel with schmear is a bit pricey comparatively.

This place was disappointing. I grew up on the east coast and so it was easy to tell the difference. I asked for toasted and the bread was dry and stale. Also, it wasnt a decent amount of food. It cost me 6.20 for just the bagel and I got a Snapple that came up to 9bucks. Save your money for a real bagel shop.

I love this place, especially the pretzel bagels,which are closer to an actual German pretzel than most of what youll find on this side of the Atlantic. When you travel, make sure to get some bagel photos for some free bagels too.

This is my favorite quick breakfast stop downtown. They have a huge selection of bagels and cream cheeses as well as specialty sandwiches. Their salads and desserts look great also but I havent had them.

Locally-owned, quality ingredients, kosher and vegetarian friendly, and an amazing staff – O, and their food is amazing! It is not officially fall until I have a BBC pumpkin bagel.

Very tasty everything... but stay away from "extras" like drinks and cookies, theyre a lot more expensive than they should be. The sandwiches are a good value though.

Great chewy bagels with a nice sitting area. I really enjoy their breakfast sandwiches. They also coordinate very well with other local businesses.

Rachel Goebel

Overated, but fast and the only bagel place in btown in walking distance to campus. That being said, cucumber dill is the best schmear...

The best bagels in Bloomington by far. Probably some of the best bagels in all of Indiana. Fast and friendly staff as well.

Hurry to this Bloomington staple! Best bagels and bagel sandwiches in town. PLUS the muffins are amazing for breakfast.

Real bagels of all sorts, and great people. Take home a bakers dozen and freeze some.

Ive had some great bagels here and some hard ones, it may depend on the time of day.
