I think I've found Gainesville's best bagel spot! So far, all I've heard has been rave reviews of…read moreBagel Bakery. And it DEFINITELY lived up to the hype without a doubt. The Bagel Bakery offer a nice variety of bagels, along with other baked goods, sandwiches, wraps, coffees, and plenty of cream cheeses. Their bagels are made fresh throughout the morning. I would recommend going earlier in the day in order to have the best, freshest variety before they sell out. The workers are some of the nicest people. They are all super helpful and very friendly. When it came to ordering, they were extremely helpful and patient. Ordering is really easy and the staff does an amazing job handling customers. Service is just 10/10! The inside is welcoming and comfortable. With a decent amount of seating option, both inside and out, it is a great place to go with friends. I ended up ordering a toasted bacon-cheddar bagel with spinach & artichoke cream cheese. The bagel was phenomenal, I have absolutely no complaints. Super soft and fresh, the texture was wonderful. I wouldn't consider this a New York styled bagel, but it was still better than any of the other bagels I've had in Gainesville. The bagel had real bacon on it, which made all the difference in the bacon flavor. The cheddar was sharp, but not overpowering. The spinach-artichoke cream cheese was like nothing I'd had before. With actual pieces of artichokes in it, it was perfection. The texture of the cream cheese was also nice. Not too thick, but necessary whipped, I thoroughly enjoyed it! While I was checking out their cookies caught my eye and I added a chocolate chip one to my order. The cashier offered me a free day old cookie from the previous that they couldn't sell. This was very generous and appreciated! The chocolate cookies were very good. I appreciated the different chunks of chocolate in the cookie. The base of the cookie had a good buttery, brown sugar taste...delicious! The free, day-old cookie obviously wasn't as fresh as the ladder, but still good nonetheless. The cookies were so satisfying I actually came back to order another one. I ordered the lemon blueberry one and the cashier, once again, offered me another free cookie. The lemon-blueberry cookie was also amazing. Buttery, with a tangy lemon flavor, the cookie was really moist. The other free cookie I got was a caramel chip one. This was more of a crunchy cookie with chunks of caramelized caramel pieces and white chocolate chips. You really can't go wrong with any of the baked good here. I do appreciate the fact that they prioritize selling fresh baked goods each day! Overall, I was blown away with the Bagel Bakery. Honestly I'm kicking myself because I haven't come here sooner. The bagels are extremely fresh, with a great variety, and the perfect texture. The cream cheeses are great as well and have a nice consistency. Everything had so much flavor here. I think that is proof they use good ingredients and take pride in their craft. All the cookies I tried were amazing and shouldn't be missed either. The service is above and beyond. Really made the whole experience even better. This place feels like a local place and they treat their customers so well. Next time I come I will have to try more of their bagels (obviously), but also try some of their other baked goods too! It is safe to say I will be returning. I would HIGHLY recommend coming here over any other bagel place in the area.

Food truck, blink and you'll miss!…read more While the size of the bagels were nice, they were more of a bread consistency (airy) than a bagel (substance)... if that makes sense. I had the little bacon, egg and cheese which had less egg than I thought I would have (like 1/2 an egg). Usually places give two thick pieces, which is why I decided to get a smaller one. But it was far less than expected. We have a lot of bagels around Tampa, and it honestly wasn't what we thought. It is highly recommended in Gainesville, so I would try for yourself!

What a JOKE! How can you possibly use the term "New York Bagels"? They were more like soft rolls…read more We ordered bagel sandwiches (w bacon, egg & cheese) each on a different type of "bagel". The "sesame" had lots of sesame seeds, but was stale, like a day old bagel. The plain was super soft and fluffy, like a Jersey buttered roll. And now for the "everything"...like many of the photos (and mine here) you can see that the onions are burnt crisp! Ick! I specifically asked for the bagel to not be toasted since I'm not a fan of burnt stuff. And now for the price...the bagel was $2.95 PLUS now add $8.95 to make it a sandwich! WTF...this sandwich should be made of GOLD?!?!? Buyer Beware! They're not even that good!

So I'm originally from the NYC area and I have a lot of bagel experience. Right off the bat I'll tell you this is not a traditional bagel experience. The bagels themselves I found kind of chewy and missing the standard varieties I'm used to. Their house cured nova lox was a little lacking in flavor for my taste but very colorful. They have a large variety of spreads and a lot of vegan options which seems to be the mode in a college town like Gainesville. Personally it's not for me as I'm a bagel purist but my understanding is there are times when folks are waiting up to 40 minutes to chow down a Humblewood bagel. So folks, what do I know.

I came here with one of my friends on a Friday evening and we really enjoyed it! This is a really…read moregood asian spot located in midtown. There is plenty of seating and the staff is very friendly. Since it is located in Midtown, parking could be tricky. It wasn't super busy when we arrived, but it seems to be a popular spot amongst college students. The menu offers a nice variety of asian dishes and they also serve breakfast/brunch on the daily. The interior appeared sort of "run down", but in the best way possible. It was still inviting and provided for a nice, laid back sort of meal. The food doesn't take too long to come out either and it is made fresh to order. We ended up ordering the steamed dumplings as an appetizer. I also ordered a cup of miso soup. The dish comes with 5 decent size dumplings. They are handmade and packed with filling. I appreciated the flavorful pork and the amount of it in them. My miso soup was pretty standard, nothing too special. But is hit the spot on a chilly evening. For our entrees, my friend ordered the beef udon, while I ordered the Lemongrass chicken. The portions are pretty large and we found it to be quite filling. My friend said this was some of the best udon she'd had. The broth was very flavorful, the beef was tender, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. The only thing she didn't like as much was the fried egg, opposed to the more traditional hard boiled egg. My lemongrass chicken was satisfying as well. It came with a copious amount of chicken, with a really tangy sauce over it. The rice was overcooked, which was disappointing. Overall, Bagels and Noodles is a wonderful asian eatery located in Midtown. Its location is prime for college students and I can see why it is so popular. The service is very good and personable. The "hole in the wall" feel of the restaurant makes the atmosphere! The food is made with lots of love and it was served fresh and hot. The dumplings are amazing and I would recommend. My friend is already dying to come back and explore more of their noodle dishes. I will definitely be returning and look forward to trying more things!

I have always had good experiences here, though what I order is relatively limited in scope. Usually just a bagel (of some sort) with the tuna salad as a topping. When I walk in, it is a simple matter to walk up to the counter and make my food, then sit down at a table for about five minutes while they prepare my order. I am always greeted warmly, and they are able to get my food out in a very reasonable amount of time. The place does a good business, and I am happy that there is a place in Thornebrooke for the morning crowd where you can grab a bite to eat and perhaps a coffee that isn't overpriced garbage from Seattle. I will continue going here on the weekend for my little bite to eat.

All the ingredients are all over the counters and mixed up with each other because they just toss everything around. They don't clean the counters it just doesn't look appetizing when you can see it all through the glass. It is the "healthiest" place in this little plaza but, the customer service and the way they make their food kills it for me.
