I walked five miles for this. I have been waiting 2 years to try. Worth the food. Service was less than good and very old fashion place. However the bagels were the best. I got the Italian Hero on a pumpernickel bagel. I want another one 😆 I guess I better start walking there to burn off the delicious calories. 2 Bagels and a tip ~$25.
The place is not fancy, but wins you over by focusing on the food and NYC culture. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an egg bagel with a small cup of coffee. The staff was friendly and had my bagel prepared quickly during a morning rush. The coffee is set where there are different stations for whichever flavor you're craving then the assortment of sugar and creamers. I love love love a bacon, egg, and cheese and was delighted to find one close to me. I was expecting more cheese and mess from the oil and food just coming off the bagel, however that experience did not take away from the flavor of this bagel and satisfy my craving. Along with bagels, there is a deli service that can be ordered and picked up. In the deli, there are highlight of NYC with the skyline, baseball, and other decor. It's a quick and hot bagel for when you need one.
This spot is without a doubt the BEST bagel spot in Raleigh. The line out the door will speak for itself. Incase you need more convincing, the bagels are actually fresh, the sweets are amazing, and the eggs and bacon are fresh, not frozen. When your craving a delicious, authentic bagel, this is your spot. It's well worth the wait. And please try something sweet while you are there. You will not regret it.
