I asked the owner if he could remake the sandwich because the bagel was extra hard and stiff. The owner got so upset at me and said it's because I asked for the bagel to be toasted. I reminded him that I always order the same bagels and it's never been extra hard. He was so upset and insisted it was because of toasting. After trying to explain to him the texture of the bagel he seemed to get furious and decided to ignore me. He then just instructed his associate to remake the bagel. This was shocking that even his associate was taken back by his behavior. Definitely never returning to this place especially how the owner treats his returning customers.

The wax paper wasn't removed from the turkey.

It's an average bagel and they use cost effective ingredients. Disappointed in the extra thin bacon that was added and seen on the bottom of the bagel. No crisp to them. I couldn'T taste the bacon. Wouldn't have known there was any without looking. And i think they forgot to toast the bagel. I'll go here if I don't have the time to go to bagel corner where better quality items are used.

The one in Monterey had closed down a while ago and I had never been to the one in Salinas so it was a pleasant surprise to say the least. I was on day 3 of a 10 day challenge enhanced way of eating so the "Moss Boss" was off my target site(for now). The AMAZING Manager Elizabeth(hope I remembered) was Super Pleasant and kind for this Very energetic and inquisitive monkey. So patient and informative with ALLLL my questions, and to boot, She makes the best smoothies. I have been making them(smoothes) for 20 years(since before I was born) so I am SUPER picky and have Highhhh standards.... She adjusted my Masterpiece(again smoothie) to a tee; fine tuning to complement my lifestyle choices.. PLUSSS as a BONUS she gave me the Golden Mylk Base(Divine) because this is the protocol if they use it in the making of your smoothie. Super Bonus, and Cost effective, because it saves you a few dollars to TIP/laundry if needed/get a bagel/donut/ whatever because this lil shopping center has so many options.. Yet, it is a MUST to experience ELIZABETHS skills because the SUPER DUPER bonus is there will be a Perfectly Pressed opening in Monterey in Dec(fingers crossed), with her MAGIC going with her!!

Large portions and better than average ....but kind of disappointed that it appearsbthey have changed many of the recipes that once made this a go to for our family.
