The bagels and coffee are good. The blueberry muffins were ok, too sugar sweetened with a from the box aftertaste, and no fresh blueberries. Do not get a breakfast sandwich either. You do not put microwaved egg and sausage on a fresh bagel, especially for the price they charge. And they make it right in front of you so you can witness the process. Very disappointed that it wasn't made out of a fresh egg and griddle cooked sausage. It tasted 'nuked'. Also, we drove from Poplar Grove to eat there. The kids that worked this morning were very well mannered, kind, and accommodating 5/29/22
I asked about egg bagels and even though they don't sell them anymore, they let me order some and I'll be picking they up tomorrow. This place is wonderful: the bagels and their service!!!
I was hungry as I was looking for a 'place to eat or something to pick up' as I had a hair appt across the street as I'm relatively new to DeKalb (3yrs) and saw this place and 'smelled' coffee :) I ordered a Cinnamon Raisin with cream cheese as well a turkey something and then I saw the cutest MUG (which I truly love) and looking forward to going back soon to sit down to enjoy Hazelnut as well a Bagel
This place offered some really nice options for food and pastries. Definitely a nice aesthetic that I would visit again and hope to try some of their other food options between classes. I'd definitely recommend coming earlier in the day when the bagels are still plentiful however but otherwise I wouldn't recommend missing this place if you've got the opportunity to stop in for a quick bite.
I have been there three times as I like to give anywhere three tries before deciding whether I like it or not. Three different times have I ordered the pizza bagel and had it still be ice cold inside due to the sauce. Three different times I’ve had to wait till I drove back to Elgin to my microwave to actually eat it at a safe temperature. I will not be returning.
Great bagels and coffee! Love that they have vegan cream cheese. Minus 1 star because I've heard they don't treat their employees well.
Just tried this place for the first time, wonderful! The coffee is really good, they give you many options for creamers and flavoring. The food was delicious and the workers were very nice. Can’t wait to go back!
The best coffee in the area. But more than that, their bagels are amazing. Super well made! They always have a great variety of sweet and savory bagel options. Really excellent cream cheese as well. Good atmosphere, very very clean shop as well!!
They are delicious, if you get there early enough! They dont seem to make bagels throughout the day. Just once in the morning and when it is gone it's gone. Service could be a bit nicer but like I said if you are there early enough then the food makes up for the ok service. They do have a sandwich menu if u are looking for that.
Good food, if you don't mind the way they've treated employees in recent memory. Zero-notice firings after 30 days of a 90 day probationary hiring period, little to no cooperation in answering questions, and questionable reasons for it all left me distrustful and disappointed in local business. Truly a shame.
