    When this bagel shop opened in our neighborhood, it was such a wonderful place for the community together. The owner even had tables and chairs outside. Many mornings people were gathered out there to enjoy each other'scompany and have breakfast. Within the past two years it's almost like they want to go out of business. Many times they close earlier before they are supposed to. Their hours are changed regularly. Very rarely do they have the kind of bagel I want because they are sold out. And usually at an early time. But this morning was the worst. I went in and there was, an older woman doing a lot of talking in the back. I tried several times to get her attention. When she finally came to the counter, she acted like she was completely annoyed that I had interrupted her conversation. I told her that I wanted my bagel lightly toasted. As you can see, they were burnt pieces. As much as I want to continue going there because it is so close, within walking distance and the bagels are good, I don't know if I will be back .

    So- this is NOT a BIG APPLE Bagel. The bagels in NY/New Jersey are distinct due to the water. NYC Bagels do not have Cornmeal on the bottom like these. I was also with a Native New Yorker (not from Brooklyn- a true New Yorker) to confirm my findings. With that said, I'm still a fan of anything that is a good Carb. This place opens at 5am and there is no real line during the commuting hours. Please beware that service is sooooooo slow. I had a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with Cream Cheese (don't get the Fat Free stuff). If you really need Fat Free cream cheese, you probably shouldn't be eating a bagel. In addition, I got to try one of their many Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches (simple BLT and a Egg). This place is very reasonably priced at around 3 dollars. I will be back, but this is no BIG APPLE BAGEL. I'll called them my Michigan Bagel from now on.

    To my surprise really good

    They are always closed earlier than online says, and closed many days of the week. Never have enough bagels made no matter how early you go.

    I met a friend here for coffee and a bagel sandwich. First impressions are lasting impressions so…read moreI'll begin with my observations. When we walked in, we looked for the coffee menu because we didn't see anything. The young lady said that the third menu screen above the counter wasn't working. So, I just ordered a regular coffee. The lunch menu was on a small display board on the counter. I chose a turkey sandwich on an egg bagel. While waiting for the sandwich and coffee to be made, I noticed that the cleanliness of this place was lacking. We sat down at a table, and in the corner of a window was a good sized cobweb. So we had to move our table because I didn't care to sit next to a cobweb while I was eating. The vents on the ceiling looked like they needed cleaning. They were pretty dirty. Then I looked at the display cases and they needed a good wipe down. In between the cases on the floor I noticed it was messy with what I think were maybe napkins or debris of some sort. The whole place needed cleaning from top to sides to bottom. When I went over to the condiment area for some cream and sugar and a stirrer, it looked like it needed some TLC. The sandwich was pretty good. I wasn't too happy with the piece of lettuce sticking out of the sandwich because it had black edges on it so I just pulled that out so it would look more appealing before I took my first bite. The young lady that took our order was very friendly and she did a fine job of taking care of us. To me, it wasn't a relaxing place to enjoy coffee. The chairs weren't the most comfortable. There's a coffee place a half mile to the south and that will be the next place I'll try. There's also another ice cream place a mile to the east which I'd choose. This unfortunately was a one and done.

    Review #527 Tuesday,…read more12/16/2025 This is My Updated Review for this Bagel and Coffee Business. My previous review was back on 3/11/2022 giving it 5 stars. The Last time I was here plus with another check-in was for a Yelp Elite Event on 1/21/2022. Unfortunately, I regret that I need to write a honest revised review with 2 stars now based on My visual observations while visiting today for a coffee and lunch sandwich hour. I met up with Yelp friend Laurie for lunch to enjoy a bagel sandwich and flavored coffee or Latte on a cold Tuesday. First off walking inside at 11:30 AM showed a poor "Ambiance" due to unclean tables, chairs, windows, carpeting and counter areas plus the tile floor. There was Only one cheerful female employee working by herself. I didn't see her name tag since not wearing one to acknowledge her here in my review for trying her best with efficiency ! This Bagel, Coffee and Tea shop was cold on the inside so it was uncomfortable to relax , eat and catch up with our friendship chatting without heat. Coffee Menu was not working on the Board Screen so when I asked about flavors of Latte's she replied the machine was broken. :-( I opted for a plain coffee with a liquid flavoring of caramel which she was Happy to mix and it tasted fine. I ordered the Motor City Bagel Sandwich for my lunch choice. She commented that she would make the sandwich first and the coffee afterwards since she was alone. The sandwich was alright but I should of asked if she could microwave it but I didn't, in case the machine was out of order ? The bagel sandwich needed a melt to blend. Pricing for My 2 item lunch was $11.00 which was Alright? Although I won't be back here so it doesn't matter at this point. I felt bad that this girl had to multitask with other customers walking in and waiting for their orders under such a poor disorganized environment. I showed her My punch business card for coffee purchases to use and she had No Clue about it and couldn't punch it for my purchase. Photo attached... So either I'm 3 years behind when it was issued or it is NOT honored or used anymore! :-( I remember back in January 2022 when walking inside how welcoming, clean and organized to relax with a beverage and bagel or sandwich from the Yelp Event and (My Free Yelp Shot Glass) yet today's experience was unsatisfactory and not very comfortable at all. I saw a fly on the entrance door inside which was upsetting! I'm sorry to lower My rating of 5 stars down to 2 but view the photos before and today. My comments are honest and true plus this review explains it all. I should of asked if the Manager was in the back to discuss today's dirty conditions but then has the Manager seen or care about? Maybe this Elaine's location needs their CEO Manager to visit in surprise plus walk-in with a look around evaluation?! Or the Macomb County Health Department. Sincerely, Karen N. (SpecialK) Macomb, MI.
