Bloomington Bagel Co

Bagels are hard and dense

They don’t even have a griddle. This place is so bad don’t waste your time.

The place itself is alright gimmick. I asked them if they would make me an espresso coffee and guy responds with "sorry our machine isn't working we're not doing that right now" I got the same reply when I asked for a smoothie instead. When we sat down waiting on our lunch, I noticed that he still charged us for a smoothie, as soon as I got up to complain he went right in the back cooler to angrily take out the frozen berries from their fridge/freezer like he was pouting, and brought one out ten minutes later. If staff are willing to lie directly to the customers face over something so trivial, what else are they doing to avoid work? I don't know what his attitude problem is about but I hope he's doing something else now.

really wanted to give it 5 stars because the food is great and the workers were too but the ten + minutes for a rusty esp. machine to work was ridiculous!!! the older men was obviously doing his best :( the lady behind me said this has been an issue for years………

Friendly service. Great bagels.

Asiago bagels are the best!

We have been to the Btown Bagel Co downtown and had a wonderful experience. We decided to try this location yesterday for breakfast, and had a different experience. The place wasn't crowded, just steady, in my opinion. They were adequately staffed with 4 employees. They seemed to be rushing and kinda having attitudes with customers and with each other. They were out of almost every bagel, they only had plain and the sweet ones left - maybe we just didn't get there early enough. Our bagel sandwiches were incredibly messy upon opening them up with cream cheese EVERYWHERE. They were good, although we wished for the bagels we originally wanted, and the sandwiches were slippery and impossible to eat without our hands being covered in cream cheese. When we went to the location downtown, the place was PACKED with absolutely no room to wait for orders, but the staff was lovely and polite, they had every item in stock, and the sandwiches were delicious and not messy. Maybe we just went on a bad day, maybe we didn't go early enough. I'll probably try again on a different day, because this location is more convenient to me to get to than the downtown location.

It was really just...fine. Nothing made me want to return. Bagels were pretty tough and small, even for East Coast bagels. Sandwich was tasty though. Double Chocolate muffin oddly wasn't that chocolatey. Seriously the cake just tasted mostly of sweetness and no chocolate. It also was more of a cupcake than muffin. The Mango Ginger smoothie was WEIRD. It was more ginger than Mango and just wasn't sure if it was gross or good. Didn't really taste much like mango at all.

the toughest bagels in town. tried them multiple times over the years and have tried them catered at parties but you can always tell it's a BBC bagel by how much your jaw aches. great schmears and flavor selection though!
