This place is very easy to find, and super cute inside. Very eclectic decor - from china (teacups,…read moreplates, etc.) to clowns, fresh flowers on the larger table in the back, and a lot of tables/seating packed into a fairly small, but cosy space. We were seated right away, around 10:15 on a Saturday morning. I ordered a coffee, and water - the coffee is not what this American is used to (very small cup), that was 3/4 full. It was ok, the breakfast sandwich was the true standout here. Beautiful presentation, perfectly cooked egg with a nice runny yolk, a generous pile of bacon, tomato and lettuce, on a toasted bagel. So good!

I saw all the bagels being made and tried the bagel of the month which had chicken, cranberry sauce, pear, and cream cheese on a sunflower bagel. So good! The cream cheese is super tasty, everything is fresh, forget New York bagels, Jackie's is bagel Mecca. What I love most is that it is a family-owned business. The customer service is awesome and they're really personable. I feel like you can tell they really care about what they're doing and the food they're creating for you.

The lady spoke excellent English and was very kind. What more can you ask for!?

The ingredients were fresh, the eatery is small which can be exceptionally nice on a Sunday afternoon. I hadn't tried bagels before, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had the Nina without the avocado. I liked that, it shows that there was no problem to accommodate my tastes. It's something different than what we normally have for lunch/brunch and everything in between. They have bagels of the month on their board, that might help you with your choice. The staff was friendly and kind. I finished off with a carrot cake, oh my oh my! Tasty, not heavy on the sugar: it's served with a syrup that fits it perfectly. Overall I had a good experience and I recommend it!

Everyone was enjoying delicious looking drinks and bagels. I ordered my two bagels to-go - the Bagel Chick and the Bagel Deli. All of the reviews rave about the bagels, but really they're just okay. Maybe I'm a bit spoiled because of my visits to New York and the huge availability in general in America. I don't think the bagels at Barnini are made fresh each morning. Bagels should not taste that dry. At least the Bagel Chick had a guacamole mayonnaise, but my husband wasn't so fortunate with the Bagel Deli. And if you're a bagel cafe, how can you only serve one type of bagel? If I were rating Barnini just on its bagels, I would give 3 stars. But my rating includes the ambience, which for me adds an extra star. Even though the bagels are average, I would love to go back for a coffee and pastry (the cakes and pies looked great) for breakfast or in the afternoon with a friend because the place is so gezellig.

Fresh burger buns tasty beef good fries and the prices were high but for a tourist area not outrageous. I should have asked if the iced tea was sweet, as I don't like sweet tea. It was...ah well...

We sat outdoors nice view, ate and enjoyed ourselves very much. If you're looking for burgers this is a solid option. I recommend you go before lunch crowd gets thick so you have best table choices.
