Always bustling with regulars, this little breakfast joint consistently serves up excellent bagels (as confirmed by my Brooklyn friends) and a great, ever-changing variety of piping hot coffees which include seasonal treats such as pumpkin spice and toasted coconut.
I usually purchase the everything bagel toasted with bacon, egg and cheese. It's the peppered bacon (after the bagel itself) that makes it special! They also serve up pretty nice lunch bagels.
Service is consistently friendly and sanitary rating is accepable hanging around 92-95. Been eating here for 18 years which speaks for itself. The other two south Charlotte bagel places that have comparably authentic NY bagels are Brooklyn Water Bagels and Poppy's Bagels, of which Poppy's, in my opinion, is the best overall.
