Pick A Bagel On Third

Dont Eat There

by nosn123

I went there hoping to get a tuna melt and cup of soup. The tuna melt was microwaved (?) The soup was so salty I could not eat it. When I approached the manager about the soup ( it was really not edible) he was very rude saying " Thats how we make it, what do you want me to do?"

some of the best bagels in the city

by kaa401

These are probably the best bagels in the city. I drive in from central Pennsylvania once a month and I always come here for their bagels. Service is great if you have to wait a moment big deal. Enjoy the moment and relax. The staff has always been terrific. Very accomodating. Prices are very reasonable. This is NYC not hillbilly heaven.

How do they stay in business?

by sunnismi1e

Decided to finally try this place today, as it always seems to be crowded so I figured it must be good, right? Well, it's probably crowded because all of those people have been waiting for 25 minutes for an effing bagel!

When I walked in, I asked if they took a debit card. The unsmiling woman behind the counter stoically shook her head yes. I get in line and wait 10 minutes for someone to even look at me, let alone take my order. Mind you - there's at least 6 people milling around behind the counter. Sure, they're pleasant enough, but smiling at me doesn't do me much good if you're not going to take my order.

While I waited, I couldn't help but notice that the egg salad looked like it was growing something, the paninis looked days old, and the spinach "kanish" (sic) looked like something you'd find on the walls of a cave. I considered walking out, but stupidly didn't.

I finally get to order my simple onion bagel with plain cream cheese. After another ten minutes of waiting, I considered walking out for the second time. I decided to stick it out for reasons I'll never know. FINALLY, my bagel comes along and I hand the woman my card.

"$5 minimum." (my order was $4.75, which by the way, is outrageous).

I said, "Well, I don't have any cash. You didn't say that when I asked you." She simply takes the bag with the bagel, puts it behind the counter, and looks away to the next customer. WTF?

I walked out, and I'll never step foot in that place again.

FYI - You can get TWO delicious bagels with gournet cream cheese, a drink, AND a smile, for under $6 at Corbet and Conley an Ave and a half away. Well worth the walk.

• Pros: I wouldn't know - I never got my bagel
• Cons: Rude, horrible cashier, long wait

Never again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Food Analyst

Prices are normal, bagels are normal, service is horrible. Manager made me feel unwelcomed, and even taunted me. I had no idea that he was the manager until I asked for the manager. From the woman at the cash register to the workers in the back - they're were all rude. I pay for their products, and shouldn't have to feel that I'm begging them for something. I'll never go back there again. My company usually caters breakfast from there, but that's going to stop also.

• Pros: Semi-okay prices
• Cons: Rude workers & manager

loveee it

I go to class a few blocks away, and I go to pick-a-bagel a few times a week. It's cheap, the workers are fun, and the food is the best in the area. It's great for a place to grab a quick bite to eat.
