One of the young girls working there was too busy eating French fries to attend to the place. I get being hungry while working but at least hide it. It looked so unprofessional especially while there was so much that needed to be attended to. Also the appearance from the outside makes the place look sketchy and like it's possibly closed so it could use some updating, some eye catching signage or liveliness in general. The menu, coffee selection, whoever is cooking, phenomenal job. I would go back.

I grew up in Poughkeepsie so I went to Bagel World a lot as a teenager since the time it opened up…read more When they first opened up, their bagels were super fresh, prices were cheap, and the service was awesome and enthusiastic. I've noticed over the years, that all these things have changed overall: the bagels are not nearly as fresh, the prices have basically doubled, and the staff doesn't look so happy to be there anymore. My go to is the plain bagel (not toasted) with lox and cream cheese. A great bagel should never need to be toasted. Toasting a bagel makes a great bagel worse, but a bad bagel better. It is the ultimate leveler, but we this is in NY so we should be expecting some great bagels. Nowadays, my bagels are hit or miss, but the last few times I've went, the bagels are still pretty good with nice serving sizes. Just not as good as it once was (and could still be in the future).

Sam was apologetic and made me a lightly toasted whole wheat everything with hummus. It was delicious. The bagel was that ideal combination of crisp on the outside and chewy within.

Whether you're stopping by before work or treating yourself on a slow weekend morning, Kelly's delivers every time. Great service, great coffee, and a neighborhood feel that makes you want to return again and again.

If you haven't tried Moonrise Bagels up until now (like me a few days ago heehee) um, what are you doing? Imagine a pizza pocket (what a throwback) except it's a bagel pizza pocket, or even better, a stuffed bagel. With pizza inside. I mean, if that's what you end up ordering (which you totally should because you really must). I ordered the stuffed sesame bagel with pizza that comes with a ranch sauce. I personally hate ranch. This tastes NOTHING like ranch which is what makes it even more incredible. I also got the vegan egg and sausage bagel. Let's pause here for a moment. You heard me say it right, the VEGAN stuffed bagel. This was FIRE. Not more fire than their mooney sauce. I highly recommend doing the everything bagel on the outer part which will pair sooooo good with this stuffed bagel. The mooney sauce has me on a chokehold. What is it? Nothing more and nothing less than their super secret awesome sauce. If you're craving the classic bagel with cream cheese feel, you must order their little bagel tots that come with cream cheese and you dip them like little tots/fries. So good and perfect for sharing. I will say, if you want to leave stuffed with stuffed bagels, you can't show up when they're sold out so plan ahead. Come early. I think the earlier the better especially for the freshly baked effect and the perfect bagel pull. Other than that, I'm so happy I finally got to try this place, they have another location in Woodstock and recently in NYC (where you know they for sure have a good line). Thirsty? Try their coffee and/or matcha! I recommend the iced lavender matcha. Thank you Moonrise for these fire bagels, can't wait to stuff myself again!

We were fortunate and found parking right in front. It wasn't a busy morning despite being a Saturday and the interior was simple yet inviting and clean. There was also very limited seating inside so it's best to take it to go. The staff were very pleasant. The bacon, egg and cheese stuffed bagel was pretty good! It's such a fun idea and is less messy than a typical BEC. The only real critique is that the bagel was a little doughy toward the end, but otherwise, very delicious!

I mentioned this cute little town because it's just one of the little niches along the Hudson river that makes a perfect little day trip. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: really quaint storefront, and first impression.Enter through the cafe door which also functions as a retail shop for handmade objects like soaps, etc. The gifts have an upscale vibe-worth a trip back. We had about 15 minutes to kill before attending a Yelp event across The Street so we opted to take the chill off by purchasing a hot beverage at Norma's. The staff is pretty laid-back, friendly, but laid-back. If you're in a hurry, I'm not sure if this would work. The hot and cold beverages are very straightforward and you can get some vegan options here. There were two behind the counter, but I felt they were a little engaged in their personal banter and we're not that attentive. Not a real sense of urgency or purpose. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but once they did give us their full attention, we let them know that we were waiting for an event across the street and didn't have a lot of time. They asked us if we'd like to sit down with our beverage and we opted to do so since it was pretty cold outside. We ordered two hot chocolate And two homemade biscuits. They gave us a table number stanchion for the table and let us know they would be bringing it to us. We did not need to wait. We took the three steps down to the main dining area, where we were pleasantly surprised that they were having a live event - in this case it was a storytelling event. There was a table available for the two of us so we sat down and quickly realized that the table was so off-balance that it post a potential safety hazard. When I placed my hot chocolate down and rested my wrist, the entire table tilted forward toward me. This is an easy thing to fix, but my guess is that it's been this way for a really long time. That's unfortunate. All that aside, the room was really cozy and had a lot of character - lots of two top and four top tables to provide a very intimate setting with each one having a good view of the small stage Minutes went by and there was no biscuit delivered. More minutes went by and we began to wonder if they had forgotten. I guess is that they weren't making the biscuits from scratch so most likely they did forget. Since we had already paid for everything with a pretty generous tip, we waited a a few more minutes. Time ran out when we noticed that the event attendees were lining up across the street. That's something we could see from the really great big windows that faced Main Street. Reluctantly, my sister and I got up from the table and headed to the counter where we had made the order. We let them know that we needed to go and asked if the biscuits were ready. They seemed perplexed at first and then a lightbulb moment. Yes. I suspect they did forget the order. I wouldn't bother so much but two biscuits and two hot chocolates. It was about $20 plus tip so when they recognized that the biscuits were still missing, they asked if we would like to take them to go. The lack of awareness was disappointing because they were clearly not busy with anything else A minute or two later, they emerged from the kitchen with a small bag, presumably containing the two biscuits. Service was definitely lacking, particularly for what is a bit of a higher priced venue. Maybe we caught them on an off night but my sense is that laid back attitude is built in to the business model. Would I return to Norma's? I'm not sure. The hot chocolate was good, not from a mix, but would it bring me back? I'll let you know.

Located quickly off the Thruway we hopped off and were at New Paltz Bagel Cafe in just a few minutes. Located in the Tops Shopping Center they are right up front and there is plenty of parking. There were also a couple of EV car chargers in the lot. We walked into the shop and we were the next online. It is a small cozy shop with ample seating. There was a great choice of bagels and spreads as well as muffins and cake. We came at a great time as people started pouring in as soon as we sat down with our food. I went with the "Super Onion Egg Bagel" with some cream cheese while my wife went with "Everything Bagel" with vegetable cream cheese. Both of us truly enjoyed our selections. Being from Long Island and patronizing the same places for years, our expectation levels may be a little high. Overall, this shop did a great job especially with the wonderful staff here.
