I lament that Bubbe's Bagels is so far away in Traverse City. The Bagel Spot has filled the bagel…read morevoid. A good bagel does not need to be toasted, and these are good bagels. They also make their smear (cream cheese) in house and slice their own lox (smoked salmon). The salmon was particularly impressive, it just melts. Their bagels are on the pricier side, but they are large, fresh, and delicious. I've tried my classic order (sesame, scallion smear, lox) and one of their bagel sandwiches (eggs, bacon, tomato, cheese), which are very hearty. They have breakfast and lunch options. They were out of the chicken salad when I stopped in, their egg salad was very good though. The were hustling on a Sunday afternoon, a really hard working staff here, but the staff who helped me remained friendly. I'm excited to try some of their more creative options.

First time here and it was very busy on Saturday morning…read more We got two breakfast sandwiches, Power Up and custom made with avocado and assorted veggies (vegan). Their bagels are huge, but fluffy at the same time so I was able to finish it. My husband enjoyed his sandwich too, he said it was even better that Jersey bagels sandwiches, and they're also known for huge bagels. I agree, these were very soft yet chewy at the same time, I really loved them. Not cheap unfortunately, a breakfast sandwich is $10 which isn't low. My guess it's probably the size of the sandwich that makes them more expensive than average. Besides sandwiches that offer breakfast plates, and home made muffins which looked very good, but we didn't get any. They have tables and booths in case you want to enjoy the food at the shop. Despite being very busy, it was clean and the staff was friendly. Being one of the tastiest bagels in the area, for sure I'll be back.

The man working here was pleasant and eager to serve. He told me he had been here for many years and I will enjoy the bagels and apologized for cash only. I am not sure why he does not accept credit but luckily I had enough to pay. The other customer agreed the bagels were good. It is a very small shop that does not carry much else, there were the bagels in bins and a list of cream cheese flavors. Everything was moderately priced and I did want to try their lox but it was the priciest sandwich so I went with a dozen bagels and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. The man microwaved the toppings and added it to the bagel but did not cut the sandwich in two. I was a bit suspicious of the cooking method but the sandwich was fairly decent, but pretty thin. The bagels themselves were pretty tasty. They had the nice shine on the outside and chewy on the inside. I have not had enough bagels in New York to actually compare but very comparable to the ones you might get at the smaller West Bloomfield shops. But the bagels themselves are tiny. Shockingly small. Really you could eat two to be the equivalent of one bagel from yesteryear. I paid $11.50 for a dozen, so not bad, especially since one is listed as $1.25. Would I go back? Probably. I did enjoy the taste, texture, and style of the bagel. Might I try a different location? Yes. There is one in Commerce that appears to be bigger and offer a larger selection. I am not sure if they are related, same company, same recipe...a franchise? They are not listed together online but have the same menu. The prices online are slightly different in Commerce and I am not sure if they take credit cards over there. But the ones here did taste fresh.

I'm a bagel purist and judge bagels without the cream cheese or sandwich fillings. I mean,…read moreotherwise, they would be considered sandwiches, right? I am more familiar with the New York Bagel in Ferndale and used to frequent that location several times a week while I worked in the neighborhood. I was surprised by the smaller footprint here. While it seems the same variety of bagels is carried at both locations, I'm not certain if the bagels are made here, as they were at the Ferndale location. Did I miss it because I was busy checking out the various cream cheeses? Or too busy trying to get out of other people's way? As I mentioned, it is a much smaller shop. I had the sesame bagel, which was a bit more dense than I remember. This could be because it was later in the day, and bagels have a short shelf life. Service was fine.

This place is just about the bagel, no sit down or fancy coffee, the bagels are the star of the show! when I arrived, the line was to the door, but things moved rather quickly. I ordered a half a dozen bagels, which were still warm and a container of cream cheese. Staff were friendly and very efficient. I would certainly recommend NY Bagel if you're looking for something more authentic!

Bitter espresso, and the employee was not well trained in pouring lattes (no latte art, many large bubbles). Their syrup flavors are of a relatively quality brand, but that doesn't make up for poor espresso/latte equipment and technique. Employee wasn't rude, but did not exude an attitude of care or positivity. Again, maybe some people don't care so much about their customer service at a coffee shop, but coffee shops are more of a delicacy, you don't NEED a little treat and a latte. The customer service should reflect that they are serving positive "treat yourself" goods. Having a coffee shop in a bar is a clever business idea, but it doesn't hold up to the atmosphere of other coffee shops. It really does feel like you're sitting in a bar/restaurant in the middle of the day. Free parking. If you're looking for another location to get your black coffee and head out the door, this is great, but as a quality coffee shop, less so.

Tried this place for the first time today. Hubby and I got 6 donuts. Staff was super friendly and…read morehelpful. Ambiance is nothing to speak of, very old building and decor is out dated and tired but seemed clean which is the important part. 6 donuts were about $15-so not cheap but I will say the glazed donut was the most soft pillowy donut I have ever eaten!! We also split an apple fritter which was good. It did not really have much apple flavor, but was still tasty. The nice thing about these donuts was that they did not have a ton of grease which sometimes donuts can and the oil was fresh and did not have that old oil flavor. We went around noon so selection of donuts were limited so you will want to try and get there earlier. This place is definitely worth a try! We will definitely be making the trek back to try some other flavors

There were at least six people "working"--standing around talking loudly with the radio blasting, mainly--and even though I was just getting a single bagel with cream cheese it took forever. And no one else was even in the store. At a certain point, the manager/owner called over to me and said "we're having trouble with the toaster." I had been super clear that I wanted it "not toasted." Then because he could tell I was irritated and it had been, well, forever, he started scolding the workers about talking too much, the music being too loud, etc., to no avail. They just kept going. And when the time came to finally hand me my bagel, there was no apology, "I'm sorry," or any acknowledgement at all that it had been a really inappropriately long time that I had been waiting--again, with no one else in the store. And six employees working. The sad thing is that the bagels at this place are pretty good, about the best you are going to get in metro Detroit, but I won't be back. Management needs to step up in this place and enact a more professional approach to customer service.
