This is the absolute best GF bagel I have ever eaten. I also bought the s’mores cheesecake and holy moly, huge piece and absolutely delicious. I also brought home a loaf of bread and it was delicious even the next day. Dedicated GF facility.

Ok - editing the review because I went back for the Sunday brunch and want to share with you the experience. They don’t take reservations and you have to wait for a table, so just be prepared for that. We had 4 people and waited 35 minutes. They take your number and text you when a table is ready (classy). We were ready with our order right away.

The ricotta pancakes were outstanding. Simply amazing. The giant latke was just as advertised, a latke with lox on top, Crème fraîche. The babka French toast was delicious and it’s really cake for dessert. Just know that it’s really sweet. Another diner got the Avo smoke (bagel, lox and avocado) and that was outstanding. Portions for the pancakes and the babka were a little small, won’t do it for you if you’re really hungry for brunch.

Got the coffee and it was really terrible. The cream curdled. We sent it back (got huge apologies) but the coffee itself still had some terrible taste to it. Maybe the machine needs to be cleaned? As a coffee lover, the coffee was truly disappointing. There are no free refills, but I suppose that’s not really a problem now.

We bought a selection of pastries to go. The rugalach was truly outstanding, taste like cream cheese rugalach. The babka piece we got was already stale and hard by 2 pm in the sealed container we got. The PB brownie & chocolate chip Cookie were ok. The doughnut looked good but the texture was really horrible. Like puffed up styrofoam.

We got 2 bagels and cream cheese to go and they were still good the next day, warmed up a little. The breads and bagels are really perfect and the reason to go.
