There's still remained a great selection of bagels. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and Service was prompt despite the large number of people there. The results? I had an everything bagel with cream cheese, not toasted, and it was perfect! Just enough, everything topping, and the bagel itself was tender, not tough, not too fluffy, just right. So delicious and at $3.30 a great value. They have a large case of muffins, both large and mini. I tried a few mini muffins, (3 pack for $2.78)and the coconut cream was delicious and tender. Also had a cinnamon muffin which was good but could've used more cinnamon, and a tiny chocolate New York cheesecake which was moist and delicious. Not overly sweet. The ambience was open and inviting and yet cozy, no loud overhead music. Everything was super clean, as were the bathrooms. Easily navigated if you need a wheelchair or other assistive device. All in all, super bummed that I live on the West Coast and will be so far away from this bagel shop. Highly recommended if you are in Bemidji!

The tempting aroma of baking cones wafts out to lure you inside. Once there, you'll find many different flavors. The eternal question: what to order? As if by magic, the person behind the counter tells me: "you can get a 3 scoop sampler for $4.25". Woo Hoo! That worked for me:) I tried a key lime, mint chocolate chip, and some other flavor (it was so darn good that I blanked out - what was that third flavor???). The takeaway is that you cannot go wrong here. Super friendly staff, a small seating area, clean bathrooms, and the chance to get samples of any flavor, and then get a sampler of 3 flavors. Plenty of rich, thick, yummy ice cream. I doubt that I would go back - this splurge was enough for me. Go ahead......surrender....give it a try!

I would often stop there on my way back from a noon Rollerblade ride for a frozen coffee drink or one of her fruit smoothies. Sometimes there would be someone else there at the same time and we would have fun talking over the news of the day. There are only two tables in the shop so most people get it "to go" but it can be rewarding to spend some time there and see a cross culture of downtown people. The store also has a good variety of fine china tea cups, saucers, and tea pots.
