    Vanilla Cold Brew

    Super cute place, stopped in for a quick breakfast before my son's college tour. Food was amazing & service was great. Must try when your in Tuscaloosa

    Best wood fired pizza! The prosciutto and arugula pizza was heavenly salty, savory, and with a peppery kick from the arugula. The crust was light, crisp, and had a lovely char. Pairing it with a glass of red wine made for an amazing evening.

    Hash brown casserole

    Always solid. Never had a bad meal here. It's become our go to breakfast spot when in Tuscaloosa. The bagels are surprisingly very good. There is something for everyone. The hash brown casserole was delish as well.

    Conecuh Sausage Egg & Cheese, everything bagel

    Bagels always hit. I got the Conecuh egg and cheese and added cream cheese and it was amazing. Some of the best breakfast in Alabama if you're looking for something quick to pick up.

    My tram from work was getting together and since there is outdoor seating, decided to meet here! We had an enjoyable visit outside although it was much colder than I realized. The service was excellent. Especially since one team member forgot her mask. They provided her one no problem. Our food was great! My only suggestion which may not even be possible, is to install a propane portable heater outside We probably would have stayed longer, but we were freezing after sunset!

    Food left on a more than likely very dirty shelf. The people in front of me had their ingredients put on a plate.

    I've been coming here every now and then ever since I moved to Tuscaloosa. It's really close to my apartment and like the reviews have said the food is usually good. However, after what I experienced today I can no longer say I feel comfortable eating at this establishment. I ordered a sausage bagel sandwich. While the bagel was toasting, the lady who was handling the kitchen took my proteins on a small spatula and then placed the food on a shelf that is more than likely pretty dirty. See the photo below. I'm no health expert by any means, but this seems like a very obvious health code violation so because of this I threw the sandwich in the garbage and left. I spoke to the manager on the restaurant's Facebook page, or supposedly the manager, and he gave me some scripted BS response that I personally wasn't buying. Part of me feels like things won't change with a simple complaint. I would avoid eating here due to bad food practices. If they are willing to be this unsanitary right in front of a customer who knows what else goes on behind the scenes. There is a truth behind Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and Bar Rescue, people. Just look at my photo for evidence.

    Stopped for a quick lunch and the food was amazing! So good we couldn't decide between breakfast or lunch so we tried both. Bagels were so fresh and delicious. Chicken salad in the croissant was amazing too. Would definitely come back!

    Good food, good pricing, great location...friendly staff and outdoor seating was a plus

    I think if I would have come a bit earlier my food would have been a bit more fresh and not so "reheat" quality. I wanted the quiche Lorraine, but they were out at 2p, so I settled with the spinach quiche. It was ok, good consistency but could tell it was just reheated from a cooler because the center was still cool. The crust was flimsy and tasteless. Now, my partner ordered the Rueben sandwich and it was to die for and it was made fresh. So, I will be coming back for an earlier lunch sometime this week and hopefully with a better update! Now the wine selection and unique beverage cooler selection does make this place a very unique experience. So, hopefully the food on my next visit will be of better quality, because the overall atmosphere and experience are 5 star quality.

    see all those lovely bubbles? Those make it light as a feather and so delightful to eat!! Not heavy or "doughy" at all.

    My family and I love to drop into Cravings every chance we get. Naturally the kids love the amazing variety of unique sodas and vintage candies but we all have a healthy appreciation for their menu as well. The bagels are fantastic. (My last order was a jalapeño bagel loaded with cream cheese and capers and it was out if this world delicious). My son will save up his allowance to splurge on their lobster rolls (Connecticut style). My daughter loves the quiche. But let's talk about their newest offering. Pizza. Not just any pizza - Detroit pizza. Imagine a deep dish pizza with a nice crunchy edge. Got it? Now completely dismiss that notion from your mind. This house made dough offers the sensation of a deep dish pizza crust without the heaviness. Most notably - the entire perimeter of this 8x10 slab of goodness is encased in cheese. Crispy, crunchy "deliberately burnt" white cheddar. Oh. My. Gosh. This pizza was crafted with intention and it was obvious each element (crust to cheese to marinara) was selected with great care. This pizza could very well change the course of your life. Having yet another reason to love this place makes my heart (and belly) happy. I enjoy talking to the owner and hearing his passion come through as he proudly describes his offerings. This is the kind of local place Tuscaloosa needed to serve the niche foodie market. Out of state students love being able to find regional favorites. I love that Cravings has brought some many new favorites into my little corner of the world! I'm a customer for life!

    Not nearly enough

    Customer service, great! Bagel, as good as you can get down here. It's not exactly NY but what can ya do. I wanted to leave a review to say if you're going to charge me for cream cheese you need to at least give me cream cheese. I don't see why it wouldn't be layered on thick or at least enough to taste it. Thanks!

    Reuben sandwich
    Stephen F.

    This place has the best Reuben sandwich in Tuscaloosa. I'm from upstate New York and am used to getting a good Reuben at any diner, but there really isn't any place in town that does it right. The bread is thick and toasted and not wet from the dressing. The sauerkraut is not rinsed to much that you can't tell if there is sauerkraut or not. I love it when you have a little of the sour in every bite. The meat is good quality. Some other places in town boast lots of meat, but it's not very good quality. This meat was a medium portion but great quality. Loved it and will be back

    Food is pretty good but you will be waiting at least 30 minutes for one bagel. Order online because those orders take priority.

Not the person you want as the first representative of your establishment. When she finally called us and brought us to the table, asked "how many in your party?" How can you not know? You JUST PAGED US! It's on the iPad in your hand! We said 5, she gave us 3 menus... seriously? The server was awesome and cheerful. The food was amazing. But again ... customer service. 2 plates came out, 5 mins later 2 more plates, 5 mins later the last plate. Why is our food not coming out all together? We ask for the check and get it promptly, but it took another 10 mins for her to come pick it up... Lots of room for improvement for the customer service end of it, and even though the food was absolutely delicious, it wasn't enough to outshine the poor initial impression with the lack of hostess skills and wait time.

    Panera Bread used to be a regular stop for me back when I worked in town, but today was the first…read moretime I've stepped inside this location in a few years. I hesitated to return after reading some recent reviews, but I went anyway because I've always loved their Creamy Tomato Soup and Apple Crisp Salad. When placing my order, though, I called an audible and went with the Greek Salad instead. My disappointment is not with the food. Just as it was years ago, the quality remains excellent. If I were grading this place on food alone, it would be an easy 5-star experience. Unfortunately, the cleanliness brings my overall score down to a 3. The floors were littered with food crumbs, napkin pieces, straw wrappers, and other trash. Many of the tables needed to be wiped down, and the dish drop-off area had stacks of plates and bowls left from previous guests. I can only hope the kitchen is cleaner than the dining area. I understand many franchises are moving toward kiosk ordering, and that's fine, but it's still nice to see a friendly face when you walk into a restaurant. And if I'm placing my own order on a machine, picking up my food at the window, fixing my own drink, and finding my own seat, please don't ask me for a tip at checkout. I can't go into the kitchen and prepare my own food--so being prompted for a gratuity feels unnecessary. Now, back to the positives: the tomato soup and baguette were fabulous--comforting and delicious on a cold Alabama Friday night. I've become a fan of Greek salads over the past few years, and Panera's version is top-notch. Next time, I may try the full salad with chicken. The background music was a nice touch, too--Sleigh Ride by The Ronettes, Please Come Home for Christmas by the Eagles, and even Texas Hold'Em by Beyoncé helped set a pleasant atmosphere. Final Score: 3 out of 5 stars Food: 5 stars Cleanliness: 2 stars Still worth a visit for the flavors--but I hope management gives the dining area some attention.

    The service at this location was great. The attendant was kind as she took my order. The food was…read morefresh and seasoned well; the bread of course was the star. However, I have a hard time paying $18 for a moderate-to-small sized grilled chicken sandwich, small bag of chips, and a drink. Upon paying, of course, the screen asked for a tip, though, there is no table service of any kind. (I despise this). Another reason for the mediocre review is that at 4:40 in the afternoon with 4 guests seated, the trash needed taken out in two separate cans, and the shelves above the service are needed organized. A few minor improvements could make this location a fantastic one. Edit: Next Day after initial visit (03/13/2025). Clean. Less clutter. A friendly, genial staff. There are still some minor items which could use some attention that could easily take this location from average or good to great. Like: dusting the window sills, vacuuming under booths, and wiping the chair rails. Doing these things along with keeping the trash taken out would keep this location full of customers. A paint touch-up here or there would be stellar. I've changed my initial review from 3 to 4 stars.

The scathing reviews here on Yelp, made me reluctant, but I figured I'd give it a try anyway. I ordered at the drive-through, and the speaker service was good--she was quick, and repeated my order back to me perfectly: iced coffee with caramel + cream + sugar, a beyond sausage sandwich, and hash browns. Had to wait a hot minute to move forward, but I think that's just because the person two cars ahead of me had a weird order--I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt. Once I got up to the window, they told me that they were out of eggs because they were frozen. Thought this was pretty stupid as eggs are a critical breakfast item, but I was ok with getting an eggless sandwich. To make up for it, she gave me a blueberry donut on the house, which I very much appreciated, as I'm sure that's a much higher value than what was warranted. The food itself was just fine. Coffee was the weakest, as all the sweet stuff was sitting at the bottom, not properly stirred; hash browns were nice and crispy and flavorful, just like you'd expect 'em; and the eggless beyond sausage sandwich was a-ok. Best of all, I have a good snack waiting for when my sweet tooth starts calling later. Overall, definitely not on par with the campus location, but not as pathetic as the reviews here make it sound.
