| - It's going to be difficult to not draw comparisons to Bagel Cafe, seeing as how I've been going there for years. Not only did my heart belong to Bagel Cafe, but it's only 1 mile from my house as opposed to the 3 miles it takes for me to get to Bobby's. But they won me over today on my first visit. Follow my adventure...
I actually didn't know this place existed until the Groupon deal came up recently. I Yelp'ed the place and saw how well rated it was, so I picked up the $20 for $10 deal. The place is only open 7am-3pm, though, and I'm rarely awake during those hours, so I wasn't sure when I could use it. My sleep schedule flipped over today, though, so 7am was around mid-day for me.
I walked in and was instantly greeted by the girl that worked there, damn I can't believe I'm forgetting her name. I asked what was good for breakfast, and she said the grill was on and she was making breakfast sandwiches on a bagel. SOLD!
"What kind of bagel would you like?" "Sesame."
"How would you like your eggs?" "Umm.... (eggs are eggs) Surprise me!"
** I lose a lot of servers here, as they're afraid to bring me something I didn't order, but she was up for the challenge.
"What kind of cheese would you like?" "Umm... (challenge accepted!) Surprise me!"
"Do you want to add ham, bacon, or sausage?" "Yes. Surprise me!"
Not scared in the slightest, she asked if I wanted a specialty coffee drink. This I'm a little more picky about, so I ordered a vanilla latte.
She went to ring me up to pay, but I asked her not to, yet, since I had the Groupon and planned to figure out what else to buy while I ate. No problems with that request either.
While I waited for my food, I looked over the menu and realized just how little I had spent so far. Bagel sandwich was like $3.50, add meat for $1.25, and a vanilla latte was like $3.00. She showed up with a huge, delicious beverage while I figured out my plan to burn off the rest of the Groupon.
The waitress showed up with a breakfast sandwich pretty quickly, and I was about to dive in when she asked me if I wanted to know what it was. Sure. Eggs over hard. Muenster cheese. Sausage. She seemed proud of the combination, and I can't blame her as it was great. This ain't no McDonald's breakfast. And Bagel Cafe has nothing on the speed at Bobby's.
After my meal, I discussed my options. I ended up with a half dozen of assorted bagels (3 sesame, 2 cinnamon, 1 oat), 1 small tub of nova cream cheese, 1 small tub of tuna salad, and 1 small tub of chopped liver for the ex. I think I ended up paying like $1 or $2 over my Groupon after all that.
Here I am, 12 hours later, eating my second bagel. Cinnamon bagel was a nice dessert/snack, but the toasted sesame seed bagel with the nova cream cheese on top is sooooo good. This CRUSHES Bagel Cafe's nova cream cheese. Bobby's has huge chunks of salmon, and it tastes amazing.
Good food, really friendly staff, great prices, there's not a lot to dislike about Bobby's other than their hours. Sadly, I will likely not get to enjoy Bobby's very often.
Oh yeah, keep your eyes on LivingSocial this week... a little birdie told me they're running a $4 for $10 promotion for Bobby's, so you can try it out AND not feel like a glutton buying everything in the store like I did!
Oh yeah part 2, I'm sorry Bobby that owns Bobby's, but the video I posted below is Internet comedy gold. The guy at 1:13 makes the video.
