    Sesame seed bagel with chicken salad (with cranberries), American cheese, lettuce, and tomato
    Lauren B.

    Shef's Bagels is such a great spot! My go-to order is their chicken salad with American cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a sesame seed bagel. It hits the spot every time, and they always give you the perfect amount of chicken salad. Their bagels are so light, airy, and fresh but sell out quickly. That's how you know they're top-tier!

    Blueberry Cream Cheese

    God damnit, their bagels sell like hot cakes. We got there at 1030am and they literally had only one type of bagel left!!!! We picked the last raisin bagel and had it with blueberry cream cheese. The cream cheese was whipped and absolutely delicious. Perfect amount of sweet too and the bagel was nice and thick with the right amount of chewy and crispy. Wish we had come early to pick some more!

    Amazing service, Everything Bagel is phenomenal! Hometown feel. Love the Costa Rican coffee.

    French Toast bagel with strawberry cream cheese
    Jason P.

    I recently visited Shef's after a friend recommended it. Shef's is obviously very popular. Business was steady and they had many employees because they apparently expected to be busy. Shef's was not fancy. Service was friendly and efficient. My friend recommended I get a French Toast Bagel with Strawberry Cream Cheese, which is not a usual order for me. I was afraid it might be too sweet, but the French Toast bagel wasn't too sweet and the sweetness from the strawberry cream cheese took it to the right level. The bagel was above average and good. I also ordered an Everything Bagel with veggie cream cheese. Both were good. I would have preferred the veggie cream cheese to have more of a point of view, but it was fairly common. I also prefer more everything seasoning on my bagel, but it was decent. Shef's Bagels were closer to New York style than some other I've recently had. I would return if in the area, but I will probably stick with my area go-to's Four Stars

    Delicious

    I woke up very early this morning and took a ride just to relax. I ended up at chefs bagels,. For less than six dollars purchased a coffee and two bagels. Brought them home and loved the bagel. It was flavorful and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Delicious just as a bagel should be. I was starved when I got home and gobbled it down definitely will be going back. If you're in the area I would recommend.

    Egg and cheese on a plain bagel toasted
    Scott G.

    There's not much more I can say other than Shef's has some of the best bagels around! Freshly made every morning, and many different varieties to choose from, this place is a game changer as far as bagels go. I almost always order an egg and cheese sandwich on a plain bagel toasted, and it hits the spot every time. If you visit Shef's on a Saturday or Sunday morning, you'll generally find that the place is packed. I'd recommend getting there early (maybe around 8AM) to beat the rush. If you wait until after the morning rush, you'll also beat the crowds, but often they'll have run out of certain types of bagels (especially if it's right before a holiday like Easter, Mother's Day, etc.). The ambiance is nothing special, just a basic bagel shop. There are several tables to dine in, though most people just pick up and take their food to go. If you're in a hurry, I'd recommend calling in your order ahead, though if the staff is really busy they may not always answer the phone. Overall a great bagel spot that you need to check out!

    Bagels and veg cream cheese

    Shef's Bagels is well-known in the area and with good reason. The bagels are the freshest I've tasted. If you don't consume them within a day, freeze them to preserve freshness. They go stale quickly with no preservatives. I would recommend going early because bagels sell out, especially on weekends and holidays. I went early on a weekday, just after 9 AM and the garlic bagels were sold out. I love the cream cheese here as well, which spreads easily and flavorful. I've tried walnut raisin, scallion and vegetable and have never been disappointed. The breakfast sandwiches are priced well and worth a try. There are plenty of people working the counter and they're all helpful and friendly. Ambience is good for a takeaway place. You can eat there if you want to and there are places to sit while waiting for your order, even though everything is prepared quickly. If you're looking for quality bagels, put Shef's on your radar.

    Line out the door!!
    Alex W.

    10/22/23: As I pulled up to the store front I saw the line out the door!! Walked in and the shelf's were empty except for plain. I was lucky enough to place an order for 2 bagels, and while I was waiting for my order, they sold the rest of the bagels!! Crazy, they open at 7am and sold out by 9:45!! That should tell you 2 things, he sells an amazing product and get there early!!

    I visited The Bean Coffee Roasters this week. They're a small coffee shop/roaster in the back of a…read morebuilding on a main drag in Cheshire. They have some seating within the mix of the giant coffee roaster area. There were a few people hanging out and people coming and going. The shop was cute, but they were fitting a lot into a little space too. I ordered a black iced coffee. I asked what they used and they just told me it was a medium roast. I assume that means they're using a blend of some sort since you would tend to highlight a high end Single Origin coffee if somebody asked. In any event, service was friendly and efficient. The iced coffee was above average. Smooth. Drinkable. No aftertaste. But it didn't really have any of the flavors of a high end coffee used for iced coffee. Four Stars

    I found out about this small coffee shop in Cheshire recently and decided to try it the other…read moreday... and I was not disappointed! The Bean Coffee Roasters is located off of Route 10 in a small plaza with a few other businesses. There's plenty of parking in the lot. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with only a few tables to eat at. Most of the people ahead of me in line were ordering their drinks/food to-go. I had seen a Raspberry White Chocolate Latte posted on their Instagram page as a special for Valentine's Day, and asked the girl behind the counter if she could make it for me. She happily checked to make sure they still had all the correct ingredients, and luckily they did! As someone who is not a huge coffee fan, I thought it tasted delicious! They also use coffee cubes in all of their iced coffee drinks, which I thought was pretty cool (no more watered down coffee!) In addition to coffee and tea, they also had a variety of smoothies on their menu, which all sounded good, in addition to breakfast sandwiches and some baked goods. I ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a ciabatta roll, and it was absolutely amazing! There was only one employee working when I went, but she was friendly and efficient. I'll be stopping back soon for sure to try one of their smoothies!

The booth and ambiance were nothing special, but we were given a plate full of apple slices that were sprinkled in cinnamon sugar (which was a nice touch), our waitress was fun and attentive and the food was very good. The menu offerings for breakfast were pretty basic and standard.. you won't find 6 kinds of pancakes or stuffed French toast here, but it's pretty clear that they have perfected their over-easy and other egg game. Hash browns can be the shredded, cubed or tater tot varieties and delicious. The gluten free bread the have was the best I've had (nice job!). Three of us had mimosas and they were delicious. Based on the number of diners waiting to get seated and the high quality of our meals, I'm willing to guess this restaurant is pretty consistent. I would definitely come to Ellie's again. Well done
