"I don't often write reviews, but when I do, it's because I feel a deep connection to a place. Growing up in the gritty streets of the Bronx, the highlight of my day was sinking my teeth into a hot bagel. Not just any bagel, but one generously slathered with cream cheese, filled with carbs and pure bliss, capable of putting all my worries to rest. Amidst the trash and chaos of city life, it was my beacon of hope. Now, living a quiet, simple life in the Midwest, I can’t help but reminisce about that childhood joy. Fortunately, this restaurant has beautifully recreated that experience for me. The staff are wonderful, the atmosphere is warm, and there's a genuine smile at the end of each encounter. Even though they wear masks, you can still see the happiness in their eyes. God bless them."
