Enjoyed it!

by sandy951

Pick a Bagel was within walking distance from the hotel we stayed at. We went there several mornings and enjoyed a bagel and coffee. The only problem I saw, was the fact that they only have one cashier. The cashier is in the front of the store and the line to pay blocks the way to the counter to order. Other than that we enjoyed it.

• Pros: Lots of choices
• Cons: Cashier line blocks counter and somewhat cramped seating

An unassuming chain purveyor of super-sized bagels.

In Short
Pick a Bagel's decor is cafeteria-like, with a drop ceiling, fluorescent lighting and faux-wood tables. A small, friendly team of attendants fields orders from a steady stream of local office workers. The huge bagels' fluffy, chewy interiors are marked by occasional large bubbles. Accoutrements consist of the usual assortment of spreads, salads and smoked fish. The eatery also doles out reliable soups, salads and wraps.

Great, fresh salad ingredients

by maureenuw

Whenever I'm in this area, I grab a salad here for lunch - they consistently have fresh, tasty salad ingredients with a wider variety than any other lunch spot I've found. A little pricey for what it is, but worth it.

• Pros: Great salad ingredients
• Cons: A little expensive for what it is

Fresh Bagels & Muffins

by tag788

Good Bagels, Muffins & fresh O.J.! Kind of pricey- but good/reliable. Can get crowded and cramped on Sunday mornings- and the staff has NO clue what they are doing!

• Pros: Good Bagels & Muffins
• Cons: Awful service, poor ambiance

AWFUL EVERYTHING!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO PICK A BAGEL!

by longname

HORRIBLE FOOD ($10 for an egg wrap that sux?!) - HORRIBLE SERVICE (25 minute wait for a strawberry smoothie??) - RUDE RUDE RUDE WORKERS!!!("I don't care - that is not my problem" "Whatever" direct quotes from staff members) This place should be shut down, locked up and NEVER PERMITTED TO HAVE CUSTOMERS EVER AGAIN.

When I told the staff that I was displeased and wanted to write a letter to the owner, I was told the owner had no name and that I should just give the letter with no formal greeting ("Dear Pick a Bagel Owner") to the cashier and that she would pass it along. Seriously? ARE THEY FOR REAL?

I have gone back time and time again, just hoping I had gone on a "bad day" and today is the day I never step foot in the place again. If you are looking to drop some weight - PICK A BAGEL is the place to be. If the food doesn't turn your stomach sour - your twisted mental state will surely ruin your appetite. BEWARE!

• Pros: THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS PLACE
