    Ordered toasted bagels with cream cheese on 3 different occasions. They burned them 2x, and once it looks like it wasn't toasted at all. They need to adjust the temperature of the toaster because serving a burnt black charred bagel repeatedly isn't acceptable. The workers look like chatty teenagers who aren't paying attention to the quality of food being served. They don't know what kind of herbs are in their cream cheese. The bagels themselves are also pretty dry and tough, like day-old quality. Cream cheese layer is thin.

    Imagine a Panera, only with bagels as the main attraction, but a lesser bagel than even Panera. Beautiful space, with comfy couches, tables, and booths, plus outdoor tables as well. Tasteful decor. A good place from which to telecommute. -- Bagels: They certainly look okay, but to me they came across as just round white bread with holes. Basically, Lender's. Both the onion (first visit) and pumpernickel (second visit) lacked flavor and texture. On the plus side, they're heated whole rather than cut and toasted. -- Spreads: My first visit's bagel's lox "schmear" (their term) was a thin, dry, chalky spread with barely any salmon flavor, and definitely not creamy. The second visit's veggie spread was thick but stiff and cold. Decent coffee and inviting space, but for both bagels and spreads (I'm not saying "schmear"), below average. I rank them a distant third among the three local ones (them, NY Bagels, Bagels Plus) and no match for any in the Boston area. At least they're better than Dunkin.

    Came here for some brunch food now that it's finally open! Upon entering, the place felt very clean and lively. All the staff were extremely friendly and the manager also! I got a chicken salad sandwich with onion bagel, a gourmet pesto Mac and cheese, and a caramel latte. Everything was delicious and tasted very clean/fresh. There is a lot of seating inside. I will definitely return!

    Ordered online and was ready and warm when I arrived. Tried the Vermonter and maple coffee. The outdoor seating was great for my pup and I.

It seems that everyone just knows that if you want donuts nearby, you go here and not Dunkin. I've been to the store a couple of times but there's nothing particular to write about. Just plain white interior and pretty old. A couple of tables I think, and a fridge. You're really just meant to pop in and out with a box of donuts. Parking is totally effortless. The lot outside is MASSIVE and shared with several other businesses. Honestly, I never see any cars in front of the other businesses either. Park anywhere you like. Hell, do a couple of laps before you consume all those calories! I won't wax poetic going through each donut because many other reviews have probably already sold you on the incredible quality being served here. But I want to give a shoutout that their Raspberry Fritters and Apple Fritters are world-class and everyone needs to try them. From checking their other reviews, it seems I need to expand my horizons and try out their Twists, Pine Cones, and Bear Claws.

The wait was so long and they clearly haven't figured out the balance between managing online and in person orders. An additional person is needed to simply take the orders in house. The person they had on deck this morning was frantically trying to take orders and move food from the kitchen to the online pick up area. Three people making drinks and still backed up making what should have been a relaxing morning tense and unpleasant. I want to be clear that every person I saw was doing their best to make things work and this is a systems issue. I like this place and I offer these comments to encourage them to look at their system and find ways to improve.

When you go in, you can grab a menu and decide what you want before going up to the counter to order. You're given a number to put on your table and the food will come out when it's ready. If you ordered a caffeinated beverage, your name will be called so you can go up to the counter and pick it up. we ordered two pork hashes with a black tea and coffee. There is no free refills. The coffee and tea were both very smooth. The pork hash was really flavorful and well cooked. The barbecue sauce is on the sweeter side and at certain bites dominated the flavor profile. something in the dishes made us super lethargic afterwards. i don't normally daytime nap but took one when i got home.

Banquet seating across one wall and high top seating in the one room dining area with a bar/drink area and coffee station. Lots of great breakfast choices. I'm so glad I went with the Western omelette. It was one of the best ones I've ever had! Perfect amount of perfectly sized ham, onion, peppers and cheese melted throughout and the wheat toast that comes with it is only one piece but it's a very large thick Bread, which was delicious. I ordered it with hashbrowns, which I was excited about, but they are not actually traditional hashbrowns ( shredded potatoes grilled), they're like McDonald's hashbrowns. They were kind enough to switch out for the home fries, which were very tasty. Build your own burrito $12 was nice addition but the hollandaise was lacking on the benny. They also had some breakfast/lunch specials, and who doesn't love biscuits and gravy!? so good! Service was friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back soon! Lots of parking that's shared in the shopping center. Note: they have full liquor license and open until 2pm on Saturday
