Time visited : Friday morning at 11am.
Atmosphere: hometown, trucker style, everyone knows your name coffee/bagel shop.
Cleanliness: much improvement is needed. Definitely not at par to my standards.
Constructive criticism: servers who make the personal butter cups should be in hairnets and wear gloves while doing this task. This should not be done while on the restaurant floor. This task should be carried out in the kitchen by chefs. Not by waitresses who handle cash. There's a grill near the bar stool area. The cooking area has a microwave on the top of a rack in a corner. Full of dust! Not adequately cleaned. I imagine it to be far more dirtier in the back and side corners of this area.
Cuisine: American/Jewish inspired. All day breakfast.
Facilities: washrooms in the basement from what I'm told. No thanks. I'll hold it! Counters, tables and cooking area look filmy with food residue. This place needs a desperate re-vamp and deep cleaning.
Food: I ordered the large Cream Cheese with Lox on a large Twisted Sesame bagel. The bagel was fresh and the cream cheese was whipped and creamy. The Lox (salmon) was good, just wish the portion matched the price. To drink, I had a chocolate milk. My total came to $19.20
Likeliness of returning or recommending to others: will return, but not frequently.
Parking: private, but make sure you park in the designated space provided for Bagel World customers. Parking is extremely tight. Watch out for the wooden hydro poles. Reverse park if you have the chance!
Portion Sizes: good.
Price: fair to ok
Service: a bit slow. Was not greeted when I walked in. I sat myself, and waited 5 minutes before I was acknowledged.
Selection: wide variety. If it's not on the menu, ask the servers. Grill chef seems flexible.
