  Extremely mediocre. The definition of average.
  
  Bagels are on par with supermarket bagels, and the fillings are just edible.
  
  I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy food from here

  Nice bagel shop in fort lee!
  I had a toasted everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese and coffee on a Sunday morning.
  Bagel was chewy, didn't take my teeth out(lol), and had good crunchy texture outside. Veggie cream cheese tasted fresh with nice bits of carrots and stuff. Coffee was like water though - should've ordered fresh squeezed OJ instead.
  
  Host lady at the counter was straight forward and place had that warm neighborhood vibe. Lunch menu looked pretty good as well so I'll definitely check it out.

  This place is decent for a bagel spot in the tri-state area. I think my overall standards for bagel stores are high living within the New York/New Jersey area for so long.
  
  The bagels are pretty good overall although I don't love the cinnamon raisin as it doesn't have many raisins in it and lacks a strong cinnamon raisin taste.
  
  The wait can be long especially on a weekend morning and they always appear to be short staffed. I've even called ahead of time to order and they said it was a 60 minute wait and then someone called me back again to tell me it would be shorter.

  Lots of options, but left with an upset stomach.
  
  Came here for breakfast around 10AM. The place was surprisingly packed, with a couple of people in queue and a few people sitting down. There was a television on and the place /seemed/ like a local favorite.
  
  There were a lot of options, from sandwiches to bagels, and everything was very fairly priced.
  
  I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll. I tried to pay with my visa, but the cashier said something that I didn't quite catch (so I assume they either have a card minimum or don't take card). Instead, I gave him cash and he was very happy!
  
  I waited a very short time before getting my order to-go. Honestly, my SEC on a roll tasted really good. I was pretty hungry, and I remember thinking something tasted a LITTLE BIT off about it, but I still really enjoyed it!! 2 hours later, my stomach ended up feeling really bad and I was unable to eat for the rest of the day. I'm unsure if my stomach was just extremely sensitive or if I just got unlucky with my order.
  
  Overall the people here seemed really nice and there were many breakfast options. It seems like a lot of people enjoy this place by how packed it was for a weekday morning. It is unfortunate that the food didn't sit well with my stomach, but I'd definitely give it another chance since it could have just been a one time issue.

  I have no compalints about the bagels itself.  I think theyre ok. However, yesterday i ordered a plain bagel w vegetable cream cheese.  First of all $4 is steep for a bagel with veg cream cheese.
  
  My complaint is that i had a very bad allergic reaction to the cream cheese. I dont know what they put in their cheese... but my eyes were very itchy and turned all red for 30 min. At first i didnt realize it was because of the food, i thought it was something from outside.  I ate half and took a break for 10 min to eat the other half. Once i took another bite into the other half my eyes started getting itchy again.
  
  This incident will remind me never to order from there again.  I love bagels and cream cheese ,and in my many years eating bagels since i was a kid... have never had an allergic reaction.
  
  I see alot of complaints of unsanitary practices at this place. I dont know if that had anything to do with it, but i will tell u i have no allergy to any cheese or vegetable.  
  
  This reminds me of a documentary where in china they mix everything in the food, (including poisonous and dangerous stuff) to make cost real cheap. I cant find any other explanation how i would have a reaction.
