Upon arriving the girl looked very irritated that she might have to actually do some work and I even saw her mouth what looked like " motherfucker" under her breath when she didn't think I saw her. The food is mediocre at best and not worth being abused by their employees.

Since moving to NC we have yet to find GOOD bagels. NJ had us spoiled but today it all changed…read more Although the line was long, they were efficient and friendly. You could easily read the menu and the staff was kind. I loved the colors and the space was clean which is always a plus. We ordered multiple bagels including a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese and bagels with Bacon Scallion Cream Cheese. It was out of this world. I was almost home and decided I wanted to go back and get more!

For the bagels, we got the bacon egg and cheese, and my partner got the Shoreline on the bacon blast bagel. The Shoreline was delicious, the cream cheese added great flavor to the sandwich. The bacon blast bagel was tasty as well. Unfortunately the bacon egg and cheese (the Highrise) could have been better. The filling to bacon ratio wasn't great, the egg was small and the bacon didn't stand out in flavor. I wish they added more as I had multiple bites of just bagel. Overall though, the shoreline was great. I'd come back to try their other options!

It was very busy, which usually is an indication of a great place to eat, but unfortunately for us the bagels were just not that great. I got an Asiago cheese bagel, toasted (who would have it any other way?), and the bacon jalapeno cream cheese. The wait was okay for the number of people there and when I got my bagel, the cream cheese was melted and very light and the bagel, although okay, was not up to the hype protrayed by one of the family that was on the YouTube segment. It was just okay, nothing more, and I wish it was so much better. Maybe all the five star reviews had a different experience but I think this is a one time and when we are in the area again I will go elsewhere.

The staff was so nice and asked if I wanted it toasted.. yes please! Wow when she brought to table it was hot and cheese melted it was just little toasty and sooo good! No need for any condiments.. the bagel was little crunch on outside and soft on inside the bacon perfectly cooked as were eggs! Perfect way to start the day.. there's a few tables and a bar height table at window. Lots of different kinds of bagels and different flavors of cream cheeses! They had lox too which I haven't seen many places.. highly recommend stopping in for breakfast or lunch.. they make sandwiches with boars head meats! Can't wait to try that too!

After a bunch of research, my husband and I decided to give Giovanni's a try. The place itself is clean, well kept and there are plenty of tables all around. The lady who took our order didn't hold a long conversation but she was super nice. We each ordered the Lox All The Way on sesame bagels and they were so good! The lox to cream cheese ratio was on point. There were great amounts of tomato, capers and sliced red onions to bring out all the flavors without the sandwich itself being overpowering. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to be back.

I ordered the tuna salad melt with a side of potato salad and my husband ordered a burger on a bagel with a side of macaroni salad. We were told everything is fresh-made. I'm not a salt lover, but both the tuna and potato salad could have used more. This was a little surprising because I find many restaurants in North Carolina are heavy in salt use, so this was a good thing for me in being able to add a little on the potato salad to my liking. Very good size portions. We brought half our sandwiches and sides home for lunch the next day. Parking is limited because this seems to be a popular place. Great menu with much to choose from. We bought a Sfogliatella pastry to eat at home. It was delicious! Great place for breakfast and lunch if you are in the area. We'll be back!

They were also generous with the avocado, which was a nice surprise since a lot of places barely give you any. The only downside was the wait. We stood in line for about 15 minutes, and it took almost another 20 minutes for our food to come out. That said, everything was made fresh, so it was worth the wait. The price was fair for the amount of food you get, and I'd definitely come back whenever I'm craving a good bagel.
