Terra is already a staple in our home for great bagels and drinks. No argument there…read more But their recent addition of a Vegan Chorizo Breakfast sandwich is a GAME CHANGER. So delicious, full of flavor. The vegan chipotle aioli is spot on. Love a hash brown in the sandwich as well. Need to shout this out. As a resident GR vegan, this is a POWER MOVE. Bravo.

This place was busy but the line moved quickly enough. The ambiance was a little cramped…read more The bagels seemed fresh but I don't believe they are made on site. We ordered three bagel sandwiches that were on the menu. They were out of the one type so we switched it to a blueberry instead. That was fine. They added tomato to my sandwich after I made it pretty clear that I did not want it on there. It was not apparent if the person taking my order missed that part or if it was the people on line. The veggie sandwich on the Rosemary flavored bagel was pretty good overall. The other part that was kind of annoying was that I ordered my coffee hot and half sweet. It came iced and fully sweet. I would not likely be in a rush to come back but I would give it another shot before completely writing it off.

There was someone who greeted us right away and handed us some laminated menus. There was not a lot of seating so it felt like more of a takeout spot. I ordered the Hot Bacon & Cheese with a side of fries! Let me tell you this lasted me three meals! It was so tasty and good even later on in the day. The fries were crispy and good! Would definitely come back for a bagel and their breakfast sometime!

I almost had a panic attack in my midsize SUV (but she's thick so...). It started off fine like "oh dang this is narrow but its a tiny corner lot so I get it." Then it quickly turned into my car sensors blowing up while I'm working out a 20-point turn to get around the corner without hitting the wall in front of me, the curb below me or the steel poles EVERYWHERE. But we made it. Rest assured. Next time, I'll just walk inside. :-)

Not great... We…read morestopped by Bagel Beanery on Michigan St in G.R. on our way out of town. It was around 10:30 am. Parking is nonexistent, so we decided to hit the drive through and eat at a local park. If you have a large vehicle (truck, full-size SUV, etc...) be very careful in the drive through. It is quite tight. Luckily we had my wife's Blazer, which was no issue. Service was pleasant, polite and fast. As for the food, it wasn't great. I ordered the Denver Bagel Omelette Sandwich. It had a cold Asiago bagel with a piece of ham, scrambled egg, green pepper slices and melted cheese. I think the cold bagel with the warm egg and melted cheese threw it off. It was just a weird warm/cold combo and I was expecting a bit of crunch from the bagel, but was left with a soft, blah texture. My wife ordered the Smoked Salmon Classic Bagel Sandwich. She had the same experience. While she expected a cold bagel with hers, she told me her salmon had zero flavor. She was expecting, salt, lemon, something. She ended up eating the bagel and cream cheese without the salmon. The coffee was okay and look, we are not spoiled high class restaurant critics. We just expect that food will have flavor and some thought put into what is being served. We paid $35 for two bagel sandwiches and two medium coffees. The food just wasn't worth a premium like that. Too many other places to try to come back.

They do some limited holiday themed desserts, have their everyday offerings like different flavors of croissants, breads, cupcakes, cookies, cake pops and sooo much more including sandwiches also! The people working the counter are always so friendly! I always have a pleasant conversation with them. Some of my faves include their chocolate cupcakes, carrot cake (which is gluten free!) and their biscoff cronut. I try to get something new to me every time I'm there. They have a nice large parking lot so there is typically no trouble parking and people are coming and going quite quickly. Pricing is very fair for the quality you get. This will always be my go to bakery :)

Parking can be a little tricky depending on when you go but of street parking is free on the weekends in GR so if you don't mind a walk, you can find something. Service was quick and friendly! It was a Sunday morning so it was pretty busy and a little tough to move around but I didn't feel like we waited in line or for our food long at all. I had a bacon egg and cheese on a jalapeno bagel + one of their seasonal lattes. So yummy! The bagel was literally so fresh and soft and everything was the perfect temperature. Would definitely order again.

I had the seasonal salted caramel apple chai latte (literally so good), and a maple bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagel was warm, soft, and perfect, and they loaded it up with cream cheese. Everything was prepared quickly, and the atmosphere was nice. The only downside is there wasn't a ton of room for people to stand while waiting for their order, so it got a bit crowded. And also maybe not enough seating. But regardless, I'd recommend!

These tiny little tasty waffles brought us all the good luck they promised on St Pats!…read more While we were at the brewery, sipping some of the best sour beer I've had & munching on Neko Taiyaki pop up waffles, we checked our evening flight to discover it was significantly delayed, as in, we weren't getting out today... we headed straight to the airport after we finished up, clutching our 4 leaf clover necklaces all the way. A lovely agent moved us to an earlier flight that promptly canceled... then back to our original flight, which was still delayed, but they had a new plane inbound to get everyone out that day. They ordered pizzas to feed the masses & got us home. I can only assume that all the bad things happening that resulted in a good ending was thanks to these small fish shaped treasures blessing us with luck. What you should know- you'll each need your own, they are rather small. We purchased 2 to split and immediately realized we needed more. The staff were kind enough to explain as we went, despite ignoring their suggestion to get 1-2ea, they didn't give us the I told you so on our 2nd order. They were tasty lil treats - hot & fresh. We all preferred the sweet over the savory, despite savory being our go-to... if you happen to be where they are, give em a shot... you may thwart a broken ankle or the like!

I'm not even a huge fan of everything bagel flavor but I turned feral after having a bite. I hadn't tried the Nutella flavor during my last visit and it's exactly what I expected. It's Nutella. In a taiyaki. Solid. The strawberry matcha flavor was a new batter that they were trying out and honestly I think they still have a little fine tuning to do with it but I enjoyed the flavor. It wasn't overpowering or overly grassy like lots of matcha flavored items. If you haven't tried this Japanese street food, I highly recommend you stop by on their next pop up! The owners are incredibly kind people that clearly have passion and take great pride in what they do.
