First time to this place on December 24, and I loved the bagels. They also make their own cream cheese, which was fantastic. The woman behind the counter was nice and helpful.

Cash only and they conveniently have an ATM inside that charges $3.20 to withdraw money. No sign on the door that says cash only. I’m sure they make a profit for having the ATM machine in there. Not sure why they have such a high rating. I could have made a batter bagel at home.
Dec 11 · Carlos EncarnacionReally solid bagel...kind of an oasis in a barren and bagel-less desert. No I don't count Dunkin Donuts as reputable purveyor of bagels. While it is the only game in town, the game is damn good. They have an incredible selection of bagels and a cream cheese selection that is nearly as impressive. They also do some impressive bagel sandwiches as well. The only problem is the rude staff, which drops the overall score to one star.
Apr 19 · Chris (Scipio Africanus)The woman who works at this place Tina very quick very nice highly recommend gone to the other Begal boys in Middletown not as friendly.
May 5 · John JohnsonAwful service and the staff has an attitude. Like they're bothered that you are there. I get it I got there 20 minutes before closing but that's no way to run a business. Stay away
