Bagel Union deserves all the hype. If you're looking for a New York-style bagel, this is the spot…read more I typically order a bagel with lox and scallion cream cheese, which is consistently excellent. I also recently tried the sump cold brew, and it was delicious. The interior is small and bustling, so I would recommend ordering to-go. The staff works quickly but is attentive. One point to note: to-go orders on the weekend do take the full estimated 30 minutes before pick-up.

Great bagels, unfortunate parking…read more Parked around the corner and walked there. Just a couple of people in line ahead of me. Young lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful in picking flavors. Store is clean and bright. Smells wonderful! Was disappointed that not all of the flavors are available all the time, was there almost an hour ahead of one being available to sell, boo... Also wished that they would have asked about slicing the bagels for us, would have been very helpful. Still the best bagels in town!

After we ordered coffee, they looked at us and told us it would be 5-10 minutes. They had no milk and were out of creamer. Again, authentic to the community - you should order black coffee here & not past 8:30z As we sat & I realized, I leaned in and said, did you realize it's almost 11:00? Honestly, neither of us realized until after we sat down that the breakfast rush was long over and they were essentially brewing a pot just for us. They were very nice & accommodated but, boy did I feel bad once it dawned on me. Enjoyed both our bagel & knish.

When I went on a sunday morning they had some vendors out for a mini market which was really cool. The interior is full of locally crafted home goods from candles to pottery to artwork. The latte was good. And, crushed ice! Not many places serve their lattes over crushed ice. In any case, maypop is an off the beaten path gem serving up a heck of a lot more than cups Of caffeine!

Also I don't know what it is about an egg sandwich on a bagel (everything of course) but I think that makes the best breakfast sandwiches. The employees are also very friendly. I don't know all their names but Allen has always been great to me and the person at the register (Zach I think?) was also very friendly and seemed to genuinely care and enjoy his job. It's a great place. Easily 5 stars. Will be coming here for years and have been coming here for years.

Then, when time to order a very harsh and rude cashier lady. She rolled her eyes at my little girl as she tried to order.

Coma is a great spot if you are in the area or, even better, if you are stopping in the building!…read moreI'm lucky my dermatologist is upstairs so I always stop by. I always get an iced caramel latte, and they rank well amongst other lattes I've tried. There is usually always a line, but service is quick at the counter, and I've never waited too long for my drink. One con is that it's fairly loud in here, and each time I've been, I've never been able to find a spot to sit inside. Luckily, each time I go I'm always taking my drink to do. I recommend Coma for your next coffee stop!

Stopped by Kolache Factory and tried two egg & cheese kolaches and a chocolate muffin…read more Everything was really good--the kolaches were filling, soft, and paired perfectly with the picante sauce on top. Super satisfying and not too heavy. I also reheated them in the microwave later and they held up really well, which I appreciated. Also, the woman at the counter called me "love," which was such a small but sweet touch and made the experience feel really welcoming. Overall, a solid spot for a quick, tasty breakfast. I'll definitely be back to try more options.

Everything was delicious. The cookies and cream was a chocolate chip cookies with Oreos and it was probably the best chocolate chip cookies I've had in a long time.

I planned to order online and do a pickup but the Green with Envy sandwich I wanted is not listed on their online order menu so I had to go in person. I stood in line for about 20 minutes which was expected, I know how busy it gets. When you get to the front to order it is chaos. Someone comes and asks what you want and then just yells it to the rest of the team. Both myself and the person in front of me got to the register and our food was not even started because they couldn't keep up with the orders and nothing was written down. Just very disorganized considering how popular it is. It was decorated nicely for Christmas but that didn't distract from the service. The green with envy is delicious but it didn't travel well; it pretty much melted and fell apart by the time I got home. I also ordered a Greek goddess salad which was nothing special. The ginger cookie was delicious and a nice size. Hopefully some changes are made to make this place run better because otherwise it just really isn't worth the trouble.
