Bagel Time: Where My Self-Control Goes to Die ​If you're…read morelooking for a light, calorie-conscious snack, keep walking. But if you want a bagel so fresh it practically still has a pulse, you've hit the motherlode. ​Here is the breakdown of my experience: ​The Bagel: I ordered a "regular" bagel, but what I received was a delicious, doughy life raft. It was roughly the size of a toddler's head and had more structural integrity than my last three relationships. ​The Schmear: Most places treat cream cheese like a precious resource. Not Bagel Time. They apply it with a masonry trowel. I'm pretty sure I could use this bagel to insulate a small shed. ​The Vibe: It's chaotic, it's loud, and it smells like heaven's bakery. You will stand in line, you will be overwhelmed by the 47 different types of cream cheese, and you will leave happier than you arrived. ​The Verdict ​5/5 Stars. I came for a quick breakfast and left needing a nap and a larger pair of pants. My doctor might disagree with my choices, but my soul is at peace. ​Pro-Tip: If you can't decide on a flavor, just get the Everything Bagel. It has enough garlic to keep vampires away for a minimum of three business days.

We recently hosted our engagement party at BirchTree and truly could not have imagined a better…read moreexperience. My fiancé and I had been having a lot of trouble finding a venue that could host our crowd at a reasonable price, so we were beyond thrilled when Birchtree not only accommodated our 60 guests beautifully, but we actually ended up under budget. From start to finish, the service was phenomenal. The team was genuinely invested in making sure our night was perfect. They went above and beyond in every way and more than accommodated anything we needed. We had an outpouring of texts the next day from our guests. So many people let us know how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful of a time they had. The space itself truly showed a refined elegance which was the perfect kickoff to our wedding season. If you're thinking about working with BirchTree, Jayne, Caitlin, and the entire staff we're incredibly organized and attentive to detail, helping us set up, pack up, and even ensured all guests had clean tables, fresh drinks, and the bar staff recommended really unique cocktails & mocktails! We are so grateful to the entire BirchTree team, especially Jayne and Caitlin for helping us set the tone for our wedding. We would absolutely recommend having an event here - you will be in the best hands!

We love stopping in here for the variety of bagels, sandwiches and wraps they have avaiable. They also have a huge variety of flavored coffee (which my husband adores) as well as cold brew on tap. I usually go for the Popeye on an Onion or everything bagel (Double toasted) but the last time I went they did not have egg whites available so I opted for regular eggs and they were just as good. The employees have always been friendly work quickly and efficiently to get out food for hungry patrons - the majority of which "grab and go" I cannot speak to their cream cheese flavors so I guess that means I need to make a return trip STAT.

It's got just the right mix of bounce, density, and butteriness, without being too greasy. Big, fresh blueberries (not the shriveled kind). Plenty of crumbly streusel on top for extra taste and texture. Their mixed berry has multiple fruit presence and more of it, minus the streusel. Also very good. Sometimes the muffins are warm. Sometimes a little long in the tooth. -- Cakes: That's their claim to fame, and for good reason. They're more expensive than most, but so dense, rich, and heavy that a small slice goes a long way. My favorite is the chocolate raspberry decadence (pool of raspberry atop a deep, dark chocolate frosting). Or maybe the strawberry snowflake, which is like the best strawberry shortcake you ever had. -- Cupcakes: These often feature some of the same ingredients as the cakes, such as that killer chocolate ganache. Great for the toppings and fillings, though the cake part (especially if chocolate base) is often dry. -- Cookies: Noticeably less impressive, EXCEPT for the Linzer heart. Great flavor and texture in the raspberry and shortbread. -- Coffee: Good stuff. Not elite, but good, in heavy mugs with good feel. Service is a little lacking. Not so much because of rudeness, but because they're perpetually understaffed for the amount of business they do.
