Dense but not heavy Chewy texture -this is probably the hallmark of a good New York bagel. You should have to work for the bite a little.

Four of them could not even go into the toaster if I wanted them too. The bagels are fantastic, but they're cutting skills Are severely lacking if you want to toast a bagel. If you just want pieces of a bagel then you're set. This by far is the best bagel place in Northeast Florida! It is truly difficult to find a decent bagel around Jacksonville and Saint Augustine however, this is a true local owned gem! The bagels are prepared fresh with a variety of flavors including ghost pepper bagel (not something I'm brave enough to try. They had ample pumpernickel bagel, which is one of my favorites and they will cut them through a machine for free. The customer service is outstanding. I was greeted with a smile and she was very patient as I was selecting the bagels. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and inviting and has a small hint of a New York deli. Even though it's a bit of a drive, it was worth every single mile! Between the outstanding bagels and the customer service you cannot go wrong here.

THE MOMENT any customer swings open the door they are greeted with a 'Hey guys' if not even addressed by name.... After all the logo on their uniform shirts states ' 'Cafe Genovese....

I had French toast (just the regular but the cinnamon roll French toast looked really tempting). It was just slightly crispy around the edges and I love that. So often I will get French toast that's a little too mushy. This was great. I also had a side of bacon. Also crispy! I was pretty stuffed but I did also take a bite of my hash brown. It was delicious too and if I had more space I would have eaten it all. The coffee was great diner/cafe coffee. And if you enjoy that type, you'll know exactly what I mean. I drank it black and they also gave me a cup to go! We did have to wait a couple minutes for a table but not long at all. They turn over tables pretty quickly! Our server was wonderful and really on the ball. Our food came out pretty quickly too, in spite of them being quite busy. It was a little loud in there but not so much we couldn't hear each other. I do like that they have counter seating as an option! We needed a table this round to spread out coloring materials lol. But the counter looks like a nice place to sit too.
