  I started going to this place frequently about a year ago. They have good food at a reasonable price. Many times, they have been overcrowded. Even though it took a long time to place my orders, I was comforted by the cute blonde girl that always called me sweetheart or darling. I also noticed all the other girls working like horses which is why I never had a problem leaving a tip. Today was the last straw. I walked in and noticed a couple that was taking several minutes getting their order to the old man behind the computer. When I thought the pain was over, the man decided to order lotto tickets. It felt like an hour watching this old man operate the lotto machine. Finally, the couple left the counter while I stood there unnoticed while a few of the staff and the old man were trying to figure out what was going on. After another short while, he finally gave me a blank stare prompting me to give him my order. I didn't even get to the side of bacon, when he abruptly left me standing there while trying to get a handle on another order(s). I just had it and walked out while telling him to cancel my order. This place does not know how to manage busy day parts. They should find something else for this old man to do in the back of the house. During busy times, it would be helpful to have someone efficient and guest friendly working the front computer. The lotto machine has no business being there and is not worth the pennies you're making at the expense of others just looking for a quick meal. Unfortunately, I will miss their buttered whole wheat toast, the way they make an egg sandwich, the good-looking counter girls and mocha cappuccino but won't be back. There are better bagels elsewhere in the area and worth the trip. The Boulevard Diner down the street is much more comfortable and had me in an out with a full house and wait at the door for Mother's Day. I found out on the way out that they had a cappuccino machine. I will be back!

  The food was okay. My wife had an everything bagel with lox, tomato, onion, and cream cheese, while I had a Roma wrap (chicken with grilled onions and fresh mozzarella). Well, they forgot to put mozzarella in my wrap and it came nice and soggy. I mean, the entire delivery process took about 1.5 hours from ordering on seamless to delivering. I was starving and wish I would have just went to the store myself
