If you are looking for an authentic freshly made bagel, this is the spot. The bagel is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. You can tell the authenticity of a bagel when the bottom half of is crispy in every bite. This location offers bagels with quality ingredients with many schmears ( cream cheese) spreads. We tried the plain bagel with Jalapeno and cheddar cream cheese. The jalapeno added a little bite of heat and blended well with the cheese. We also tried their Blueberry Bagel and it packed with the flavor. The iced latte Nutella is delicious. It appears as a light blond coffee. As they say, looks are deceiving. This reminds me of an Iced Vietnamese Coffee made with espresso and condensed milk. The coffee is robust but not overpowering. The sweetness of the Nutella was just right. Friendly service with indoor and outdoor seating. It's a busy location and there is an option to order online to avoid long wait times.

We came here mid-morning on a Thursday. There was a steady business. There is seating inside and a picnic table outside. We had no wait, ordered right away. The staff was friendly and quick. They answered questions and provided suggestions for orders easily. Try the seasonal pumpkin cream cheese- delicious!! We tried it on a plain bagel and a cinnamon sugar bagel. It was great! Bagels are served slightly warm, cut in half, and stuffed full of cream cheese. They are not skimpy on the cream cheese. I highly recommend giving them a try.

HOOVER Location. The bagel itself was good but service was slow, they didn’t have what I wanted in stock (how do you not have something basic like strawberry cream cheese?), and they didn’t even prepare the bagel for me. Makes me wonder if this location is an afterthought, and whether it’ll last. In Hoover, it’s a commitment to get to this location during morning traffic but I wanted to support a local place. The single employee very slowly made the two orders ahead of me. That’s fine, but when I got to my car and opened my bag, it was the refrigerated bagel and a small cup of cream cheese. So I paid $8 after tip for ingredients I could’ve gotten from Publix. Salt to the wound—the amount of cream cheese was barely even enough to cover my bagel. Luckily it tasted good, at least…

Very sad about the price increase. My usual order on DoorDash was an egg and cheese which used to be $7.50, which I thought was a little steep but decently fair for a fresh bagel. I went to place my usual order and now they’re $10.10. The bagels themselves are lovely, but I can’t justify such a steep price for one bagel, especially as a student. To clarify, this is the menu price before any tax or DoorDash fees are added. This is for the Tuscaloosa location.
