Very pleased with this new bagel shop in the highlands! Great selections of bagels, spreads, sandwiches, and pastries. The staff was friendly and the space was very open, sunny, and cheerful with places to sit. I got an egg everything bagel with cream cheese and a French toast bagel and it was delish. Ill be back 🙂 I have one suggestion, maybe to add some fresh squeezed orange juice to the menu

We got two bagels with cream cheese and a muffin. Bagels were great. Muffin – meh. Spent $12
Friendly service and welcoming space. Open layout, ample seating, nice and clean.
The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable- not one price listed ANYWHERE. Transparency keeps us honest and accountable. If you don’t want to list them because it’s a hassle to update signage and printed menus – we live in a time where you can scan a QR code. Easy peasy.
What’s to stop them from arbitrarily charging what they want from person to person.
I tried placing an online order prior to our visit to get an idea of pricing – same order was $5 more than our in store order.
Not sure what’s what.
Good bagels though! If you have money coming out of your ears and don’t care what you pay – go to town

Gems is absolutely amazing! Our production crew made a stop there only to be met with the kindest staff! Even the owner, Donna, was amazing! We loved the atmosphere. Can’t help but feel like family.
They have the best Italian sandwich and we’d recommend trying the bagel with the scallion cream cheese. This was such a great spot — especially with us not being from around here.

Really good bagels, but you need to love butter. Even after asking for light butter, the butter was 1/4″ thick!! But YUM!
