Highly recommend dining in or getting take out in person for the full experience. My only negative experience was missing bacon when ordering via DoorDash; however, this minor hiccup doesn’t take away from the overall quality.
We both ordered the same thing. And everything bagel classic smoked salmon, closed. I love and everything bagel and I am a cream cheese thot! We also ordered a mocha coffee. I am forgetting the person who helped us (dyed green hair) but she was very friendly and funny. Made sure to answer my ridiculous questions about the coffee.
The food came out quickly. I did enjoy the bagel. It hit the spot for me. Next time I may just get a toaster bagel with cream cheese bc that’s usually what I crave. No frills, all love for the schmear. The mocha coffee was ok. Though it wasn’t sweet (which I wanted) it did not taste like coffee. If I ordered that again I’d add 2 shots of espresso to that.
We ate indoors, enjoy the artwork on the wall, and caught up. Though they do have some outdoor seating as well. I’ll definitely give this place a try again in the future.
I got the plain bagel with schmear and lox, very fresh! along with a caramel latte that was closer to caramel milk by the end of it but still enjoyable. My MIL got a vegetarian breakfast plate with excellent (not so boiled iykyk) potatoes and a bialy bagel (?) that she LOVED. I personally thought for no meat in her plate it was still pretty expensive, more so than if she had gotten meat!
I would say the only thing we didn’t love was the price, it was $48 for just the 2 of us.
The bagels here are gonna be polarizing based on whether you like salty food. Because of the brine prep, all the bagels are salty and crispy (literally potato-chip level). I personally loved it especially since I’ve never seen anything like it before.
There is plenty of seating inside and 3 or so outdoor tables for two. There isn’t much airflow inside so it got quite hot on a sunny day.
I did not confirm whether the bagel itself is vegan. Next time I go I’ll check. Will definitely be coming back!
Note for owners – because my bagel was served in a small plate had everything seasoning flying everywhere – a larger plate for this type of bagel could definitely help.
I ordered for pick up through door dash if it makes any difference.
Why 4 stars instead of 5? Look, I love Wise Sons (and Beauty’s). But there is consistent cross contamination with the bagels (seeds, usually seeds), to the point where I won’t even order bagels anymore.
It’s pretty gross to bite into a Cinnamon Raisin or Plain bagel and get the flavors to some other kind. Seems like it would be easy enough to avoid this?
Anyway, forget the bagels, get the latkes *chef’s kiss*
They skimped out on the spread and the flavor was twice as salty as last time I came here. Either it was a bad day or management changed but this sucks for the price that we are paying. 7$ for this bagel with onions and capers.
Just buy the bagels and make your own sandwich at home.
The people working here are very kind and the atmosphere in the store is nice but that only goes so far when your meal is salty.
