Stopped by the other morning with my husband, ordered an everything bagel with onion and chive cream cheese and it was sooo yummy. You can’t beat the prices , super affordable (my bagel was like $3) and they pack the bagels full (which I love lol.) my husband ordered a pastry for his coffee and he said it yummy too. Great place to Stop by and grab a bagel try out the spreads or one of their delicious sandwiches they offer. Definitely will make this a stop on most morning 😊.

Great little sandwich and bagel spot! I regularly come here before work to grab some Java and a sandwich, or after my workouts to grab a power smoothie. I love the variety and the ability to customize anything on the menu. You can get any sandwich on any bread or bagel, plus they have a wide array of cream cheese flavors and bagel options. They don't skimp out on the cream cheese either- they make sure to smother that with a heavy hand on both bagel slices. My only gripe was during the height of Covid, there were some employees assembling food without masks. Also, the price is a little on the steep side, but well worth it for the flavors! The wait can be a little long if you come around breakfast time, but you have the option to call your order ahead of time. Not much seating inside, but there are plenty of tables outside.

What a terrible and awful experience today!! :( Both mine and my partners bagel sandwiches were completely burnt black and we didn’t find out until we got home. The sandwiches were made super sloppy. And for the prices that are charged I just expect better. I would skip on BCB Cafe and do NOT recommend!!! Such a bummer!

Great coffee and great looking bagels. I would certainly go back and stay longer for breakfast. Very, very kind staff as well! I got stranded on a business trip with no car and no juice in my phone, and they helped me arrange a ride so I could get to work on time. Thanks again and best wishes.

Been coming here for years and even today the quality is up to par! A delicious Liberty Bagel sandwich still brings me satisfaction. Saw the owner and even she is friendly and helpful. Will be back soon!

Placed an online order and was very disappointed. Maybe they treat their patrons better and have better presentation at their location but as for online orders not so much. I ordered a sausage, bacon, ham sandwich with egg and what I got was far less than that. Just enough sausage to look like it was on along with bacon but the rest of the sandwich it was non existent. The tea that was ordered as well was only milk and sugar and no tea. I understand that there can be mistakes however this is low and insulting.

It’s hard to find a good quality bagel and this ain’t it. Whole Foods bagels are better. Just not chewy/stretchy enough to be a bagel, they’re more like bread.

The bagel took forever to make and then when we received it…the blandest bagel I have EVER eaten. Not even toasted correctly and the scallion smear tasted horrible. They should have toasted the scallons or something and then add the cream cheese- BLAND. I can make a better bagel at home with store bought bagel…disappointing.
