Brenda's Fine Foods

Quick, good and good values made my visit an enjoyable one. Whether it’s to dine in or take out the choices are many and diverse. I can’t pass the bagel & egg with latkes and apple sauce. The orange juice always feels freshly squeezed. I’m always in and out in less than 20 minutes, although they have no problem if you want to stay longer and enjoy your coffee. Check out the to go casseroles and other prepared dishes.

Back home in Providence, RI, back in the 1960s, I lived on the East Side. The East Side had a significant Jewish population and culture. Some of my best friends in Junior High and High School were Jewish and they introduced me to a bagel, cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onions, sliced tomatoes and capers. Goldbergs reminds me of home.

I visited early on a Sunday morning and there weren't many people in yet. I had a super simple order, plain bagel toasted with butter. It took an unusually long time to get the order. That was the down side of the visit. The bagel was tasty fresh and not like a lot of the others in town. The service was good, the employee's pleasant, and the prices reasonable. There is plenty of free parking in the lot. Tasty bagel experience!

I selected curbside pickup on their online ordering website. I drove all the way to pickup my order. When I got there and called the curbside pickup phone number they informed me they weren’t doing curbside pickup. Then they hung up on me. If you’re worried about the COVID surge or care about getting the bare minimum of customer service (eg, people not straight up hanging up on you), skip this one.
