The Bagel Stop

Not the friendliest service. The bagels were fine. Nothing to rave about. They are closed right now for renovations.

I was going to grab a quick drink partway through a long walk. I decided to pop in to the bathroom before ordering. Big mistake! The woman at the counter literally chased me down and stopped me, informing me it was for paying customers only. I understand why restaurants have that policy, and I was willing to shell out for a beverage for the «privilege» of using their bathroom, but she was SO rude and aggressive in her approach that I changed my mind. When I tried to explain to her why she had lost me as a customer, she replied «I’m not your government,» I guess she was implying that you should only be allowed to use government subsidized toilets if you are in a position where going to the bathroom is a higher priority than adding thirty cents profit to some awful woman’s bottom line.
There are so many other places to eat in the area that would be grateful to have your business. Go there instead.

Bagels are OK but, the service is quite rude.

To be fair, the free wifi is why I came here, and it is why it gets 3 stars. The food is okay, coffee is … meh. Sitting in a carafe on the counter. Does that make me a coffee snob, wanting it fresh brewed? But certainly acceptable for a quick bite, a quick gulp, and a quick peek at your e-​mail. So 2 stars for the food plus coffee, bump it up one for the wifi.
Oh — and they do not accept credit cards. Debit cards or cash only. Hmm… maybe take a star away for that… nahh, I’ll let it ride.

Like many restaurants, this one probably gets by on location alone. If you’re hungry, well, there’s food in there. There’s nothing memorable about this place at all.
«So how is your bagel?»
«Well, it tastes like a bagel with cream cheese.»
I also ordered an egg salad-​bagel sandwich. The bread/​bagel and the egg salad were rather dry and boring. The tomato was your typical sad, ethylene gas ripened variety. I’d have ordered a coffee or an americano however they only had the convenience/​truck stop style available.
This place isn’t horrible, it’s just exactly what you would expect.
