Be prepared for a 15 min wait on weekends. Don't expect friendly service, do expect amazing bagels.

Order the whole wheat everything. Or whatever's hot. But don't dawdle, because these guys don't have time for that, ok?

I was excited to try the bagels here, but never got the chance because no one offered to take my order after standing at the counter for about 1-2 min. Never going to return.
