Best bagels in town for a reasonable price. Be prepared to wait in line during bagel status rush hours, especially during summer or tourist season -- calling ahead fixes all that though!

Fresh bagels made daily on site, generous cream cheese spread--what could be better? I had the bagel and lox, and my guy had the breakfast egg and sausage sandwich. We both chose sesame bagels, and we both had coffee. The place is lively and spacious, with counter folks who seemed to enjoy their jobs, and were friendly and quick to make our sandwiches, even though they were quite busy. All this, and dog-friendly too!

Sesame Bagel Breakfast Sandwich with Egg and Sausage
Bagels were crispy to the point of being rock hard and difficult to chew. The cream cheese was generously applied and tasty, coffee was just average. Service was slow and three of the four coffee dispensers were empty. I will not return.

So good bagels and smoked salmon and trout. Only downside was only having drip coffee. Get the muffin!

Final update 10/7/2023 -- because of the continuous issues documented below, I began my search for an alternate café. Now, I have found that place. But before I go, I am pleased that Bagel Café has many customers who enjoy the place and don't mind the tick-carrying dogs and the Mexican music because most of the people who work there are dependable (you'll see the same, pleasant faces day after day) hard-working and courteous and that's a big plus in today's world. Although I wish things had worked out differently (I'm a long-time customer) I wish them well.
__________________________
UPDATE 10/02/23 -- It's a shame that the owner(s) of Bagel Café don't read the reviews. Anyway, now there's a new twist! They blare Mexican band music with all the lyrics in Spanish. So, if you want to visit a bagel café that seems more like a taco shop in Tijuana, you're in luck!
What's going on with this place ?!

UPDATE - 10/01/2023
There were 2 dogs here within my first 10 minutes of being here.
KEEP TICK CARRYING DOGS OUT OF HERE!
(another dog just came in here. Is this a dog park, or what?!!!)
___________________________
UPDATE - 9/5/2023
Today there were 2 dogs inside the café during my visit. I'm sorry to say that they'll be losing a loyal customer if this doesn't change. I hope they place a sign that says, "NO PETS ALLOWED." Easy.

UPDATE - 9/3/23
Today, there were 3 fullsize dogs in the cafe at the same time. One even barked. Please, Bagel Cafe, get rid of the dogs (and their selfish owners) from your café! Dogs can carry disease and ticks and have NO place inside a café! Thank you!
--- UPDATE --
Patrons are bringing in their pet dogs now on a regular basis. It's not unusual for two dogs to be inside the cafe at the same time. I'm sure the dog owners luv that. But since dogs carry fleas and lyme-transmitting ticks, allowing dogs into the cafe is a very bad idea.
GET RID OF THE DOGS, PLEASE! They don't belong in restaurants!
I am a long time customer who travels past other eateries to come here. But due to this dog situation, I'm going to start dining elsewhere much to my chagrin.
Dogs don't belong in restaurants.
If, or when, the Bagel Cafe posts that pet dogs need to remain outside the cafe I'll happily return. I sure hope they do that but I'm not optimistic.

The staff here are really what makes this place hummm. They prepare your order the way you want it and are so pleasant, yet efficient, about it. There are plenty of tables and no shortage of elbow room. The clientele are never irritable, either. Personally, I travel a distance to enjoy a morning treat here.
I bet you'll like it, also.

Wonderful breakfast sandwiches - bagels.
Front counter should not take phone orders when a customer is standing in front ready to order.

This store has decent food, but very slow service and doesn't replenish the self service coffee area.
