Bean Bar is a comfortable little spot that's easy to get to and easy to park at, with plenty of…read moreroom in their sandlot parking area right out front. Inside, the ambiance is calm and relaxed, with hip jazz playing softly in the background. There's a mix of regular seating and a small bar section, plus a pleasant sitting area that should be great when the weather is nice. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, and they were genuinely helpful with recommendations--particularly when I was deciding between drink options. I ended up with an egg and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll that came out steaming hot: the roll was light and fluffy, and the whole sandwich was simple but really well done. I also had a shot of espresso that arrived in a very nice presentation on a wooden board, paired with a side of sparkling water, which was a thoughtful touch and made the experience feel a bit special. On their recommendation I tried the honey lavender latte made with local spicy honey; it was unique, flavorful, and not something you see everywhere. Overall, Bean Bar feels like a low-key, well-put-together café with good parking, a relaxed vibe, kind staff, and drinks and food that show real care.

Very cute spot in Florence. BIG shared parking lot…read more Seems fairly accessible and seating is size/ability friendly. Loved the menu choices, which included a chaga matcha that I thoroughly enjoyed. Not many options for breakfast, but what they have is good. They have "topping" options as well, I had the strawberry jalapeño one, not enough jalapeño for me personally. Staff super friendly & they are pet friendly too, dog bowls are outside along with their outdoor seating option. In addition to drinks, simple syrups, and coffee, they also sell jewelry, totes, etc. Would come back and visit when I'm back in town!

Great customer service, and every kind of sweet delight you could ever want! Cookies, cinnamon rolls, and everything in between. Cakes too!

Sully's Steamers makes it very clear on its webpage that it's not your typical bagel joint. No toasted bagel here. I took a quick look at the menu, which is extensive; it looked intriguing. As their name suggests, all their sandwiches are assembled then steamed. Naturally, this creates an extra soft bagel. By their own admission this also creates and a gooey, melty, messy sandwich. Well maybe they don't say messy, but by the napkin "gauge", my California Steamin was a bit messy. My wife went with the Pirate. Did it work? With the "sammys" we had, yes! Tasty, not toasty. The young people taking our order and making our food were pleasant and seemed to enjoy their work.. I think we'll be back to try the other 28 or so sandwich choices!

I scored an amazing deal through the Goodie Bag app at West End Bagels--two surprise bags of bagels…read morefor just $3 each! That's 6 bagels per bag, so 12 bagels for $6. How could I go wrong?! The shop was easy to find, located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. When I arrived, I waited in line and mentioned my reserved Goodie Bag (pay on the app to reserve). At first, I didn't buy anything extra, but once I got to my car and saw the variety inside - plain, poppyseed, garlic & onion, sesame seed, cinnamon raisin, and wheat - I decided to head back in for some cream cheese. They didn't include my favorite everything bagel but with the mix I got I couldn't complain! I picked up jalapeño cream cheese and a hazelnut raisin flavor which was unique and tasty. The bagels might have been (not sure) day-olds, but they were still delicious. Over the next few days, I enjoyed some fresh and froze the rest. While thawed bagels never taste quite as good as fresh, these held up well. West End Bagels also offers paninis and sandwiches for breakfast and lunch, which I'd love to try next time. Overall, great value, friendly service, and a solid bagel selection. If you're in the area, check them out--especially if you're using Goodie Bag or Too Good To Go!

I've been going here periodically for the last few years! I have only gotten bagels and never tried…read moretheir sandwiches. The whole place has a New York theme - very appealing to me being an East Coaster and knowing that NJ and NY absolutely have the best bagels. I have yet to try their cream cheeses because I always get bagels to bring home and serve them with my own cream cheese but today I noticed they had a couple of fun flavors that would very well appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth: cookies & cream, and also funfetti. My absolute favorite thing they have that will always keep me coming back is that they have colored bagels that they call "wagels" and the colors are always themed for the holidays - and if there's not a holiday, they will often have rainbow! They look fantastic! Today I got Christmas themed ones, but in the past I've gotten green for St. Patrick's Day, red for Valentines Day, pastels for Easter... They have real wow factor! I knocked off one star for being pricey because 4 wagels cost me $14. ...fyi: their general rule on weekends is that they won't cut bagels for you because they are too busy. I took a shot and asked today (Sunday) and the employee said she would do it if I waited for the line to go down - I didn't wait, though....
