We were able to snag a table that became available on the patio area. I got the basic BEC on a sesame bagel. Opening it up - the cheese was melty. The bacon was done well which is how I like it and chopped up so you don't end up pulling it all the way out when you're biting into the bagel. The bagel itself was delish. I could have just gotten that with some cream cheese because the bagel was perfectly crisp on the outside and chewy dough on the inside. Could be one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had!

The bagel itself was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and I loved that they distributed the ketchup throughout the bagel.

The croissant was very good (not pictured) and there were many other breads and pastries to choose from. The line here is practically out the door every weekend. They're only open on weekends.

The customer service was great, as always. Unfortunately, the breakfast wrap didn't feel worth the $11.79 price in my opinion. Overall, I think I'll stick to lunch at Zoi's going forward. Happy holidays!

Not only was the dining room clean and well run, but also my bagel was delicious! I had the tomato avocado bagel, but I chose to have it without bacon. It came with both a fresh slice of tomato and a zesty tomato paste that really made the sandwich! There is ample parking in the area. And I was shocked by how clean the bathroom was!

I tried explaining I planned to leave for the library anyway in 15 and she wasn't having it. She had already decided that the woman she was demeaning was worthless. I had done my photos for tutoring at this cafe 15 years ago and researched how to overcome the ribosome after landing my SciAm assignment with a Yale Nobelist in 2009.​​ 10-9: I appreciate thr public apology. My review is accurate. I trust that bruegger's will never again stereotype and act so cruelly toward a woman simply spending extra time before going to the library to finish her coffee.

I had two impressions of this bakery…read more First, when I was finally seated with my food, I watched as an erratic man came in holding a bag of garbage and spoke loudly to the two workers and as soon as they turned their back he snatched a muffin/cupcake off the bakery case and stuffed it in his pocket. He went on telling the workers it was his birthday and I think was trying to get something else though I stopped paying attention. For a shop full of people, I don't think anyone else noticed. Second, the pistachio croissant I ordered was so beautifully layered! I was so glad this was in a case and not open to random passersby. There was a line Saturday morning right after opening and I wouldn't say it moved quickly. It's a pretty corner shop but the seating is disjointed. It's well it, but I didn't care for the vibe, so we ate our treats and moved on for our drinks. Couldn't in good faith recommend any food that's out on a counter like the pie, mini pies and muffins because you never know who is touching them when others aren't looking!

This was some good coffee!…read more This was our first stop off the train from NYC. We needed a pick me up and energy for that infamous food crawl we were about to get into. So thankful it was in the quiet and quaint neighborhood of New Haven. Such a beautiful area. Very close to all the spots I had bookmarked. Cool coffee shop I gotta say. Spacious and clean. Just the actual vibe alone was relaxing. This is one of those locations where you can actually come sit and not be bothered. Few people inside were working on their laptops, some were just conversing with their friends. The barista was super friendly and worked fast. One thing I noticed and was wowed on was they serve wine as well. I mean how cool is that. Felt like I was at France for a minute, where the cafes serve coffee, tea and qwasonts during the day, and cocktails at night. Very chill. Can't thank them enough for how clean the bathroom was as well. All in all great coffee and service.

The deli/restaurant was fairly large and spacious. They sell a variety of cold cuts, sandwiches, soups, salads, meal platters, baked goods and lots of other items. The staff were friendly and worked fast to keep the line moving. My friend ordered the roast beef hero that was jus okay to me. I would've preferred the pastrami. However, I ordered a small turkey chili with grated cheese on top (Ground Turkey, Kidney Beans, White Onion, and Jalapeños Simmered with Chili Powder and Other Secret Spices). I waited until I got home and slaughtered that chili. OMG, it was so flavorful and hearty. Of course, I was upset I didn't get a large. The chili came with some small crackers. I also purchased some macaroons and they were very yummy. I would definitely check this place out again and check out some other menu items.
