Small…read moreparking lot behind the building close by the door into the shop which appears more a walkout basement. By 1.00 on a Saturday afternoon the inventory was pretty light, but I scored a garlic bagel with veggie cream cheese. Service was fine as they explained they were closing in an hour. My order was completed quickly; wrapped and bagged as my change was tossed in the tip jar. The rounder was denser than I prefer, but still fresh and loaded with roasted garlic nubs and almost chunky veggies in the homemade spread. The menu offered breakfast and lunch sandwiches and standards like nova lox cut to order and traditional American fare like bacon, sausage or pork roll on bagel of choice. If I find myself in the neighborhood some morning I would be tempted to check them out. 3.5 STARS

Was in the area and hungry so looked up where to get a bagel close by. I should have read reviews…read morebut didn't. When I found the place it was behind a house in the bottom floor. When we walked in it was warm as if no AC and dark and dingy. The bagel baskets were almost empty and it was only 10am so I asked if they baked every day to which the owner replied yes but that today they weren't baking any more. I found this odd because it was so early and the baskets were so empty and they do have a lunch menu. Ok so we proceeded to order. My son got a chicken salad sandwich on an everything bagel and I was interested in the whitefish because it said they made their own "chunky" whitefish salad so I asked to see it. He showed my a container and it looked chunky and good so I ordered it. We also got 1/2 dozen bagels for my son to go, small chocolate milk and a container of garlic and herb cream cheese. The bill came to $53! I questioned the $2.49 price per bagel and was told he had employees to pay "sometimes" and benefits etc. (He was the only one there and the place was empty) When I left and opened my bagel with "chunky" whitefish it was the worst sandwich ever! The bagel was far from fresh, very dense and dry and there was the smallest spread of whitefish on it and not one"chunk" of fish! It was like a bait and switch and so disappointing! I felt so ripped off by everything and the owner's excuse on the astronomical pricing was the icing (I'm also used to NY bagel pricing and he's even higher with what seems very little overhead) I would never go back and do not recommend this place for anyone!

Located in a small strip down from the local grocery store you will find Bravo Bagel. Parking is easy, and in a large shared lot. Upon entering we were greeted with the smell of bagels, and a sample of one of their flavors paired with a cream cheese. The sample was delicious. Their menu was not over the top. There was a few choices to choose from. You could get a bagel with a smear, or a sandwich of just a bagel. The cream cheese flavors were a good amount. I opted for a veggie and a cinnamon sugar based one. My favorite was the vegetable cream cheese. The sandwiches looked pretty good. I did not hear any complaints from anyone in my party who opted for a sandwich. Everything is cooked there on the spot, so it is fresh. Service was good. A good spot for teens to work. Pricing was decent.

Coming from New Jersey, I will say that the bagels are definitely not as good as the bagels that…read moreI've become used to. However, they are still good and certainly better than what you would get at one of the chain restaurants. Their breakfast sandwiches are particularly good. I've been trying to find good pizza options that are nearby since I moved into this area. Unfortunately, I am a snob but when it comes to pizza so I was a little skeptical. I will say that the small size pizza is indeed small-- A little too small for a price of $15.50, however; the margherita pizza did not disappoint. From a presentation standpoint, it looked very good. The crust was very good, the sauce was very good, the mozzarella was melted just gray. I definitely will be going back there. I just will be ordering a larger size lol.

We enjoyed the bacon egg and cheese in a french toast bagel and four cheese jalapeño bagel with dill pickle cream cheese. There was a very generous amount of cream cheese, so if you are an "extra cream cheese" kind of person - not here! We also got a half dozen bagels to go to enjoy later this week. I think the only comment I would have is it would be nice to have a more detailed drink menu. They look to have a ton of syrup options for their beverages and had a chalkboard sign for a daily special drink, and then their basics (cold brew, hot coffee, iced tea, etc.) but as someone who is timid to ask/afraid to hold up the line asking a bunch of questions about drinks seemed a bit cumbersome. 10/10 will be back though!

I personally enjoyed the bagels, a nice crisp on the outside and a soft center, even when toasted. I personally feel that type of bagel makes it easy to bite into for a sandwich. They offer the classic breakfast bagel sandwiches along with some lunch options like a chicken salad. For this trip I just got Some loose bagels and three varieties of their homemade cream cheeses. I ordered a strawberry cream cheese, chive cream cheese and gingerbread cream cheese. I love that there was a pre-fall flavor. I'm so ready for a new season. The cream cheese was so good. I personally enjoyed it. There is seating available both inside and outside. I love the story about Bootise... family is everything. We will definitely be back and will pass the word around about Bootsie! The staff were great. They answered any questions and found a product tucked back.

I ordered two sandwiches to take home: a bacon, egg & cheese on a garlic bagel and a pork roll, egg & cheese on a garlic bagel. Both smelled delicious when I opened them up, and I was happy to see that the eggs were made fresh rather than being zapped in the microwave. The biggest disappointment was the size of the sandwiches. For the price, I expected them to be a little more substantial. Adding another egg or two would have made a big difference and given the sandwiches more of a stacked, filling feel. The staff member who took my order wasn't particularly friendly, which also took a little away from the experience. I understand that a specialty bagel shop may cost a little more, but the sandwiches are a few dollars more than what I could get at my local deli. Overall, the food was good, the bagels were fresh, and I like the concept, but I think the portions and customer service could be improved to justify the higher price.
