Im still giving this a five star even though I went to a "Bagel Lovers Cafe" hoping to find a gluten free bagel for a once previous bagel lover. They sadly didn't have one but they did have a great menu, great choices and others in my group loved their food. I even took a bite, caving to my allergy, but it was worth it, loved the warm chewy bagel! Iced spice chai tea was pretty dang good too!

Always have a great experience here. The staff is nice and never had any issues. I only go there when I’m in the Harrisburg area since I live in York but the bagels are amazing! I’ve bought them for work before and my coworkers definitely go after them as soon as I arrive. The cream cheese is delicious as well! Definitely worth the drive!

Great bagels! Had a breakfast sandwich which was delicious. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

First time ever eating here. Stopped on a whim. The bagel was so fresh ? coffee hot and service fast and friendly. Their herb cream cheese is wonderful! I will definitely be back! Thank you for making my Sunday morning a bit more enjoyable!

I used to like stopping here once in awhile for a bagel on my way to work but can't afford their prices anymore.Today a plain bagel, toasted with butter and "specialty" cream cheese (chive as they no longer have scallion or veggie though their in-house listing still shows it) was over $5. They also no longer carry regular egg bagels.I would sometimes get an egg bagel with Nova lox spread, tomato and onion. Was around $5-6. That same sandwich would now approach $10. A slice of tomato and a slice of onion add $2 to the cost. According to their online ordering system, there is a $.10 charge to slice the bagel. Not sure if they charge for the wrapping paper and bag for to go orders or the spreading knife to spread the butter.Sorry but my wages have not increase 70-80% to compensate for their increases. I realize that supplies and labor costs have risen of late but not to almost double in price. Almost every merchant wants more money for the same product that they offered 2 years ago but like most, wages are not keeping pace with price increases so luxuries such as this, are going to be eliminated.This place used to be very busy. This morning there was only one other customer.Response to the owner-First, today is Tuesday, not Monday. And, half my reviews are 3 stars, which is average, or better. Get your facts straight and work on your math skills. Maybe that's why you have calculated food costs incorrectly???? The product is average. To me, not worth the price. Perhaps if you spent less time trying to defend yourself on negative reviews and downplaying a recurring theme and more time invested in the workings of the operation, thus reducing labor costs, you could offer an "average" product at a more reasonable price. Really, $.10 to slice a bagel?As for being a cheapskate, we spend a lot on eating out whether it's fast food, a casual dining meal or upscale occasion. Nothing more frustrating then wasting hard earned money on lackluster food, poor customer service or a bad experience. But for you, next time I go through McDonald's and are given great service, I'll be sure to write about it, just to make you happier as it seems that since you acquired this business, you have a number of unhappy customers. Which, by way, where were they today?

Had breakfast there on Saturday, November 13, 2021. Bagels were dry and flavorless - limited selection and took over 20 minutes. Ordered bacon - it was thin as paper and cold. Ordered it without eggs - still got eggs - had to send it back to get bagel with cheese not melted to egg. There - is that more descriptive??? Will not be back.

Bagels are great. Coffee is so-so. More staffers are needed on the weekend.

Really yummy bagel sandwiches! These are some of the best in the area. Their new kiosk ordering at the location is convenient to look through options and customize your sandwich. The service was really nice too! Lot’s of these one star reviews are ridiculous.

Ordered a sausage and cheese. They gave me the complete wrong sandwich. So much for their new online ordering bs system….breakfast ruined. Thank you….go back to old school way.

Didn’t see lox on the menu just lox spread. Fresh bagels, but everything bagel definitely lacks everything. I just can’t get to the west shore all the time for Ressler’s bagels, which in my opinion is the flagship bagel place in the surrounding Harrisburg area.
