This place is really hit or miss. Sometimes the food and service are good, but other times things fall through the cracks. For example, bagels don’t always come toasted even when you order them that way. On weekend mornings, the staff often miss online orders, so when I arrive the food isn’t ready, defeating the whole purpose of ordering ahead, especially when I’m on my way to work.The lox spread is also inconsistent. At times, it barely has any salmon at all, which feels disappointing for the price. To be fair, the manager did address the issue when I brought it up and remade my order, which I appreciated. Still, I’ve held off writing a review for a while, but after multiple separate issues, including having to interrupt breakfast with my family to return a poorly made order, I feel it’s worth addressing.

I had a great time coming to this Western Bagel location this morning. I was going to be in the area to pick up my order from Portos and I wanted a bagel first. I found parking easily in the morning because the rush hasn't arrived yet. When I walked inside the store, they didn't have a lot of people in line so I was able to put in my order. I got 2 blueberry bagel, toasted and asked for cream cheese on the side. My wife wanted her cheddar jalapenos bagel so I ordered that for her. I saw on their website that they have croissant here so I ordered that as well but after the person started toasting my bagel, he asked another employee and she said they don't have croissant anymore. I ate my bagel when we got home and I thought it was pretty good. My wife liked her cheddar jalapenos bagel as well.

I love myself a good bagel so I wanted to drop by and check out this location since it’s been here forever and I’ve never been. They are a bit overpriced in my opinion but I know the prices of everything are going up. I got an everything bagel with cream cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomato and it was over $6. I didn’t even have a meat, egg, cheese, or protein.I’m giving three stars mostly because of the poor service. They have multiple people working but I can see them all joking, laughing, and moving at a super slow pace. The person behind me was so annoyed that he ended up walking away and leaving. I might have if I wasn’t next in line.Do not come here if you are in a rush because it does take awhile.

Absolutely rude service. There are clear signs for where the line should start to order but the staff completely ignore and talk to people who arrive after those waiting in line. Zero eye contact or friendliness. The full menu is not front and center so it is impossible to place your full order on the spot. When I placed my order I also wanted to order more items but was told to move to the side to select them and then completely ignored. When I mentioned it there was no offer to help and I was told to go back in line to add to the order. $25 for 2 basic bagel sandwiches is a rip off price on top of the poor service. Very disappointed in my first try going back to a Western Bagel after many years. I wrote this review a minute after leaving, that’s how disappointed I felt. :(
