Absolutely unacceptable. This place should be ashamed of itself.

The pricing on the menu is flat-out misleading — what’s listed is NOT what you’re charged. When questioned, the staff responds with attitude instead of accountability, as if customers are the problem for expecting honesty. Basic transparency clearly isn’t a priority here.

The service is rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. No greeting, no patience, no care. It feels like you’re inconveniencing them by ordering food at a bagel shop.

And the bagels? Easily the worst I’ve had. Dry, bland, and somehow served cold — even when ordered as a sandwich. Who serves a bagel sandwich without warming the bagel? That’s not a preference issue, that’s basic competence.

On top of all that, there are serious hygiene concerns. Employees were grabbing bagels with bare hands, no gloves, no tongs. Completely unacceptable for any food establishment and honestly concerning from a health standpoint.

Between the deceptive pricing, rude staff, terrible food, and lack of basic food safety, it’s genuinely baffling how this place is still in business. There are countless better options that respect their customers and understand basic standards.

I won’t be back — and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Frankly, the sooner it closes down, the better.

Bagels are always good and fresh but any sandwich is just dry. Doesn’t matter what I get whether it’s bacon egg and cheese, sausage I’m not sure if they make the sandwiches without butter but it’s so dry and ruins the sandwich.

Extra bonus points for really good chicken salad depending on who makes it.

Staff is friendly although always busy and a little slow.

Wally’s Bagel Store is absolutely amazing. The sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had—fresh, delicious, and made perfectly every time. The prices are very affordable, which makes it even better. Great quality, great service, and incredible food. I will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommended! ✨

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – The Best Bagel Experience, Hands Down

I don’t write reviews often, but this bagel store absolutely deserves it.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm, comforting smell of freshly baked bagels — and that alone tells you everything you need to know. These are not mass-produced, rubbery bagels. These are authentic, hand-rolled, perfectly boiled-and-baked bagels done the right way.

The texture is flawless: golden and slightly crisp on the outside, beautifully chewy on the inside. The kind of chew that reminds you what a real bagel is supposed to taste like. The everything bagel is generously seasoned (no bare spots!), the sesame and poppy seed bagels are perfectly toasted, and even the plain bagel shines — which is the ultimate test of quality.

The cream cheese selection is impressive and clearly made fresh. The scallion cream cheese has just the right balance of tang and onion, the veggie is loaded with actual vegetables (not just dyed cream cheese), and the honey walnut is rich without being overly sweet. They don’t skimp either — you get a generous spread every time.

Breakfast sandwiches are where they truly elevate the experience. The eggs are fluffy, the bacon is crisp but not overcooked, and everything is assembled with care. Nothing feels rushed or sloppy. Every bite is balanced and satisfying. If you’re ordering lunch, their deli sandwiches are equally fresh and well-portioned.

The coffee is strong, smooth, and brewed fresh — not an afterthought like at some places. It pairs perfectly with the food.

What truly makes this place five stars, though, is the service. The staff is friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Even during busy morning hours, the line moves quickly without sacrificing quality. You can tell this is a well-run operation that takes pride in what they do.

Clean space, consistent quality, generous portions, and authentic flavor. This bagel store isn’t just good — it’s the kind of place you become a regular at.

If you’re looking for a true, satisfying bagel experience, this is it. Absolutely worth five stars.

I ordered two Turkey sandwiches for takeout at Walley’s Bagel Cafe. It took 25–30 minutes, and others who ordered after me were served first. The delay made the experience frustrating, and the food itself was just average. I won’t return until timing and pickup accuracy improve.

I don’t understand what the negative reviews are referencing. The establishment is shiny clean and the food is always awesome here. I was here the day I wrote this review, and another time in 2023. They were out of coffee, but promptly brewed another pot no questions asked without any confrontation. The staff are very respectful, provide great hospitality, and spend time getting to know their customers when idle instead of sitting behind the counter.

I’m not sure if anyone noticed, but this place is themed based off the National Lampoon Vacation movies, with sandwiches named after each of the characters in the films. The name Wally and the moose logo are named after the Mighty Moose from Wally World in the first Vacation film in 1983. It’s an awesome touch and theme! The Griswold Sandwich is one of my favorites.

Very convenient and decent cost option for a fast-bite to eat. Large assortment of snacks and menu items to choose from. Great place to sit down and relax. The Grand Canyon and the Griswald are currently my top two lol. But can’t wait to try out the other sandwich items!!!

This place has quickly become my go-to for bagels! The bagels are always fresh, perfectly chewy on the inside with that classic crisp outside. The spreads are flavorful (the scallion cream cheese is a favorite), and the staff is warm and welcoming. You can tell they care about quality and customer experience. Highly recommend if you want a real neighborhood spot that never disappoints!

Waited for 10 minutes with no greeting as a line built up behind me. Finally Im just pointed at and i guess its my time to order. When i went to make my coffee, two of the half and half cartons were empty and i had to throw then away and open a new one. Horribly disorganized, i wouldnt even say bad customer service cuz there was no customer service to be seen. Toasted bagel was also cold and below average. Wont be coming back
