Nice clean place, good variety of bagels and pastries. I had breakfast sandwich with coffee which was great. Friendly staff

We stopped by for a quick bagel on a late Sunday morning. We did not realize this was a chain, which were were trying to avoid. Just to order was a 10 min wait and another 10 to get a well done bagel with scallion cream cheese. Bagel...meh...very chewy but no bite or crunch. They said they were out of fresh brewed iced tea but we noticed while waiting for bagel it was available. Tables wobbly and not clean. Not impressed by the bagel or store and would pass in the future. Plenty of parking in very busy strip mall. read more

I stopped in for a late lunch after grocery shopping in the plaza. I ordered two sandwiches. I noticed the clerk added a $5 tip, which I did not authorize. I finished my bagel, and brought the discrepancy to a staff member's attention. She told me she would credit the $5 back. I got a bad feeling, and do not plan to go back. I did not get the correction in my account yet, two days later. The dining room was really messy. Last visit for me - Vernon branch is more inviting. I will continue to go there for a better atmosphere. My sandwich was not made properly. read more

Adorable baked goods and amazing bagels, as always. Yes, you're way outside New York City but you'll find a fresh and chewy bagel here. This store has been here for decades but it's been updated in the last few, and the layout feels improved. Coffee and bagel standards are here but also novelties. You can find lox, cream cheese, onion and tomato, but bacon jalapeño scallion cream cheese was a fun treat. Pastries are part of the order line instead of the faraway case of old, so your breakfast decision gets tougher. Wraps and sandwiches make this a lunch friendly spot after breakfast/brunch hours, if not dinner since the store's open until 8 pm, The staff were friendly for the busy Saturday morning order line, and the cute mugs and tea tins are still for sale if you need a quick gift. Local art takes this place up a notch further. Pleasant Valley is a busy commercial area with a weird parking lot, but this place is always a treat. read more

Had a quick stop to get a bagel. Placed my order and my sesame bagel came out fast. I asked it toasted, but it wasn't hot. Maybe should asked extra toasted. Nice dining area with small tables. read more

Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Cafe' - Strawberry and chocolate coffee and a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese .... Yum! - Caterers Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

I went in for a late breakfast last week and got myself an egg bagel. I sometimes get cinnamon raisin and this past order I made a comment to one of the workers who took my order that the bagels are being made a lot smaller. I was told they have new employees making them and that's the answer I got. I haven't done back since as I feel she should have given me another one as well. They have cut the size in half. Was not happy this time w my visit. read more

The best part of my experience here was leaving. The employee was not friendly at all. It was borderline rude with the communication. We ordered two TomTom clubs with light Mayo and a coffee. Club sandwiches are my favorite so I was pretty excited to find a place that reportedly made good ones. The total was $26. When we received them, we were not expecting what we got. First, it was smothered in Mayo, it took 2 napkins to wipe off the excess. And there was no separation of sandwich. The pickle was flaccid and tasted of pure vinegar like it's just an off brand jar from big lots. On top of that, mine had no bacon and my husbands bacon texture was undercooked... the coffee tasted burnt and super old. Needless to say we absolutely won't be back. read more

Service was decent but a $14 chicken ceasar wrap with no discernible ceasar dressing. Got my order to go, went back in and asked for more dressing and literally got a container with not enough dressing for half. Yes, I will not go here again. read more

Was able to stop by this spot randomly and it was a great! Spoke to the owner who said they recently switched ownerships, the new owner was very kind! I picked up some garlic bagel chips and got a side of scallion cream cheese... best combo If you're nearby you have to check it out! read more

Between Rounds is more of a nostalgia visit than anything else. Growing up I used to love coming here. But remodel after remodel, the service seems to get slower and slower. The bagels are ok, the coffee is pretty good, and the wait time is abysmal. Breakfast? Ham, egg, and cheese on a cornmeal bagel. I know...cornmeal? Well, it's hard to find and I like the texture. It's not a balance of flavor, so you're going to want to augment with good fillings. Ham, egg, and cheese is usually a pretty good choice but at this point it's one slice of microscopically thin ham and just a little cheese. Meh. Lunch? My go-to in high school was tuna on an everything, toasted, with lettuce, tomato, and onions, two pickles on the side. I haven't had it in forever...but here's hoping that hasn't been remodeled off the menu. Last time I was here I waited 15 minutes for my bagel. What. Why. How. The upside to that wait was that I was able to down three large iced coffees (free refills still exist here, thankfully) while waiting, so at the very least my day was extremely caffeinated. One last note: I noticed some heavy use of the microwave (I'm not going to ding them for that) but.... every. single. egg. thing. got. a. new. plastic. container. which. was. then. thrown. into. a. bucket. I can only hope they are avid recyclers or this bucket was being primed for washing and reuse because anything other than that would be ridiculous. read more

I used to like this place. Went there yesterday. The two ladies that work there obviously don't want to be there. No good morning, no smile. Moved like molasses. Ordered 2 bagels with cream cheese which came out to almost $12. The regular size bagel is now the size of the mini bagel. They also put the thinnest layer of cream cheese which just dissolved into the bagel. Paying more, getting less with a side of depressed staff. No thanks! read more

I went during a very quiet time on Saturday (3 pm) and had the splendid pleasure of being served by one of the young ladies. She might have been new, but she was sweet and professional. She made her fourth Reuben sandwich for me--it was really tasty. (And she asked for feedback when I had finished eating and was just lounging at my table. A growth mindset is lovely.) I chose to have it on an everything bagel--to heck with rye bread, I want an everything every time now xD I also picked out a dessert from the display along the counter: apple-caramel crumble cake. Hoooooomygoodness. I could probably accidentally eat a whole 8x8 pan by myself if I could somehow bring that many home. Overall nice vibes--radio music was a catchy pop station played at a peaceful volume, and the tables were clean and brightly lit. If I find myself this direction again, I'll make an effort to stop in. read more

food is good, but I'm standing here right now waiting for lunch and it took way too long to make one wrap. also, the staff looks miserable.

Absolutely disgusting. I ordered a Reuben sandwich with pastrami on Rye bread. I asked for the bread to be toasted and I received sandwich that clearly had mold on it and not toasted at all. The staff clearly was lacking customer service and cleanliness. Will never be returning. read more

Love their bagels and wraps!! Friendly staff, nice clean place, and delicious food... can't go wrong!

This place is under new management and I gotta say it's an amazing change! I love their sandwiches and their service is simply spectacular. A friend recommended me this place and it did not disappoint. The scallion cream cheese with the bagel chips is *chefs kiss* read more

I have been getting between rounds since I was young and I will never stop. I am a huge breakfast person and I have never had a bagel that beats their blueberry or everything bagels. The owner is also extremely kind and this is such a great place to give your money to. I recommend to everyone!! read more

Got sick from undercooked chicken in the chicken Caesar wrap. Noticed too late it was undercooked.

I loved that they have low fat veggie cream cheese. Not my favorite bagel but it did the trick. Online ordering was easy but I didn't know I had to tell them I was there when I arrived so I had to wait a little longer. My kid have eaten more she liked it so much. Next time I'll explore different menu options as the prices are reasonable read more

Food is average. bagels are fresh, they do microwave all the toppings that go onto the sandwiches though.. which I thought was weird. Eggs.. chicken... all microwaved.. so don't expect a fresh cooked egg on your breakfast sandwich. read more

The breakfast sandwiches are pretty tasty, a bit overpriced but the people that work there are always miserable. They are not friendly and it seems like having to fulfill orders absolutely inconveniences them. read more

I love this place so much that I have been coming back here for lunch week after week ...shortly after I was introduced to this joint by a friend (who is also a regular btw). The bagels are the best, blueberry bagel with vanilla walnut raisin cream cheese ... Is just heavenly. My standard order: The buffalo chicken wrap is just what ur palette needs... Spicy, tangy, crunchy and on the contrary the American veggie has a sweet sauce covered by a sundried tomato wrap. Always share ur meals with a fried coz that way u can split what the other one is having or just trade in yours for the better of the two :p They sell a whole lot of fresh bakes and goodies... Check it out read more

Randomly came by this place and stopped in for a bagel and some coffee! The customer service was absolutely fantastic and the food as well. If I lived closer to the area, would totally make this my go to bagel spot. read more

Favorite bagel store in the neighborhood! Wendy was so helpful and the customer service was great! I highly recommend the jalapeno cheddar bagel with the scallion cream cheese... read more

After the new owner AJ took over the coffee game has definitely changed! I had the cold brew and it was really delicious. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Lots of different choices of flavored coffeee, and traditional and creative bagel flavors that are sweet or savory to suit your mood. The inside of the restaurant is clean and well stocked with napkins, stirrers, etc. they also sell cute mugs and things for spur of the moment purchases. I've been a few times and even when it's not busy the service is pretty slow, not sure why. read more

On a Sunday morning they were very well staffed (maybe 5-7 people) working the registers & preparing food. Love that this bagel shop had a steady stream of customers ordering. We only waited 5-10 minutes which seemed quick given how busy they were. Bagels were all great. I'm from NY but now living in CA and haven't seen a fresh blueberry bagel in years. It was nostalgic and perfectly choc full of blueberries. My son is picky about plain bagels with plain cream cheese & he really liked his. Fresh bagels not toasted were soft and chewy inside with just the right firm texture on the outside. read more

This place is awesome. The service and staff are on point. If you craving a bagel or a wrap I highly recommend!

The new owner AJ is really turning things around for the place! The bagels are superb and so is their cold brew and pumpkin spice hot chocolate! You can tell that change is in the air based on how AJ always checks in on you and greets you with a smile! read more

This spot happens to be next door to my job. On those days where I don't have a chance to grab breakfast before work, it's convenient to walk over and grab a bite. I've gone in a few times and always receive warm and friendly service. The employees are delightful! Plus, the pastries are good (sometimes they can be too sweet, but that is a personal preference‍). I gave a star for each of those positives. I've tried the breakfast sandwiches (the Woodstock and a classic egg and cheese on a croissant) and was highly disappointed. There is NO flavor! It's like eating cardboard with veggies on top while swimming in mayo. I know and egg and cheese isn't much, but they don't even sprinkle a hint of black pepper or salt. Just dry egg with almost melted cheese. The croissant was very good though. I guess for a place where I see so many people all the time, my expectations were higher than they should have been? Either way, I only go here when I'm teetering on the brink of death by hunger pain and I only get the pastries. read more

Wish I could do 0 stars. The staff have been rude at times, and they refuse to toast bagels. Often they claim the toaster is broken, but this last time the toaster was on and working. I asked for them toasted, and confirmed w the cashier that he put it in as toasted. I then watched the bagel prep person put both bagels in their microwaves. I asked the cashier again that they'd be toasted, and the prep person heard me confirm this, and just completely ignored me (just glanced over her shoulder at me). I will never go here again. read more

The service and atmosphere is why I have become a regular here. They offer free WiFi allowing me to work while having my morning coffee and bagel stick. I like the selection of coffees and being allowed to make my own coffee with right amount of milk and sugar at coffee bar. Bagels are baked and I like the whipped cream cheese better than another National chain. They also offer bagel sticks which I like better than an entire bagel. I like to avoid the Starbucks chaos and have a more relaxing experience at this place and parking better. read more

I've been going here since 2000. Even though I no longer live in this part of CT I can still say that this is my favorite place to get a good bagel in the state. Having grown up on Long Island, where there is literally a bagel shop on practically every corner, that is a high compliment indeed! Their bagels are fresh and chewy and don't need to be toasted as they do at other lesser places. I love their cheddar bagel- cheesy and delicious! They have an assortment of homemade cream cheeses which are all tasty and yummy. You can also get a bagel sandwich with sausage/bacon/egg/cheese, or with high quality Boar's Head meats. And if you're looking for a small gift for someone, they continue to have a collection of unique coffee mugs etc. that you can purchase. The only negative (which is why I cannot give this place 5 stars) is that the prices are a bit high- $5 for a bagel with sausage/egg/cheese is a bit much. But for the occasional indulgence, it's worth it! read more

It's a bagel shop... If they stuck to that, they'd be fine. Seriously, I'd five star their bagels and bagel sandwiches. It's everything else they fail at. The place is really cluttered. I think they're trying to go for that coffee shop/deli feel... But it was more like someone shoved a deli shop into a nik-nak store. It wasn't very inviting. Like I said, I'll definitely be back for the bagels. Large, flavorful, New York style bagels. You can get a half dozen for under $6, worth every penny. The rest of the bakery items look like dunkin' donuts quality at Starbucks prices. read more

The best belly rub bagels in Connecticut. If you need a good bagel and cheese you won't reckon to find a better establishment to eat it from. I recommend to my friends and foes the everything bagel with the low fat vegetable spread or opt for the salt bagel with it. Very kosher !! The place it self inside does look like a bit of a hen house so they def could remodel and make it better and not like something from 1993 with cobwebs and grandmas sitting around. read more

The food was great. Got the honey turkey sandwich and it was much better than expected. The service unfortunately was horrible. Both girls at the counter seemed absolutely miserable, no greeting when we walked up, after each item I asked for I got "anything else" but in the tone that if I asked for anything else I'd get an eye roll back. They started to make our order without telling us the price or taking a payment, just walked away and left us standing at the register confused. After we paid we moved to the pick up counter where an older woman came out of the back and just stared at us each time she walked by, no hello just stared each time, probably 3 or 4 times she walked by as if we were doing something wrong. Someone handed us our food and walked away no thank you or have a good day. read more

I cannot believe the low rating for this place. Mostly, I think people take their bagel shops for granted! When you live in Middlegown, as I do, and for some reason, there are no bagel shops in a 10 mile radius, you appreciate them when you find them!!! I used to live in Manchester, and loved going to Between Rounds to pick up bagels, breakfast or lunch. Whenever we are in town in the morning and busy with a long to do list, we stop there for a quick and tasty breakfast. I don't drink coffee much, but my husband enjoys the variety of flavors they offer. The bagels are always fresh and egg sandwiches are tasty. Although, next time I might see if they will do double egg because the one egg is a little lost on the large bagels. They always get my high maintenance order right (heavily toast the bagel, but don't burn it) and don't give me the eye roll like I get at Dunkin when I order the same. They also have a case full of sweet treats, and use Boar's Head deli meats on the lunch sandwiches. Try the Tom Tom Club on a toasted sesame bagel with honey mustard (I swap out American for the Swiss), yum! read more
