Cafe Such-a-bagel - Smithfield

Mediocre bagels, terrible service. I have met coal miners with a friendlier disposition than the people who work there. An actual conversation i had with a POW… i mean employee, “Sesame bagel with Jalapeño cream cheese” “we are out” “Out of the bagel or cream cheese?” “We are out, pick something else”. Im convinced this place only stays in business due to the fact it’s the only bagel shop nearby.

I also have had experience with an employee(s) pre-selecting the highest tip and then handing me the machine. Check your online banking afterward if you go here. It’s theft. Too bad because the food is great but someone needs to get rid of the dishonest bad eggs that work here.

Went to such a bagel to use a gift card that my aunt recently purchased for Christmas and after ordering all of my coffee and food the women in the window told me I can’t use the gift card because they have new ownership……..Well that’s great I’m glad the previous owner decided to take everyone’s money around the holidays knowing he would be selling and the new owners won’t honor gift cards.We will not be going back to such a bagel and not to mention their sandwiches are awful now that they don’t use boars head and the bagels have also slipped

I’ve been coming here for the last few years and have never been completely happy. The bagels are very inconsistent both in size and quality. Most of the time, even when you ask for them toasted, they come to you pale white. Some times not even cooked all the way through with uncooked dough in the interior. The service isn’t much better at times with the workers being dismissive and walking away from me when I’ve tried to give them a tip. Be better, you’re the only bagel place around and your making a poor impression.

I love bagels. I wasn’t expecting much from a gas station, but this place blew my mind. I’m sorry the previous owner screwed over customers by selling gift cards just before leaving, and that the new owner didnt have the honor and decency to honor the gift cards previously sold (if that is what happened. Having owned a business myself, it is possible the new owner took a chance to purchase and couldn’t afford to honor cards from when the shop was not his or her own. Should a new business be required to lose money and give free food away to honor the indiscretions of a former business? This seems like a matter more complicated than the former review articulated . I am sorry some employees here have been unscrupulous and pilfered extra tips (I checked and it didn’t happen to me . BUT, my experience was fabulous! Half their bagels are low carb (many of the fun flavors , so I got a spinach and garlic low carb bagel with an egg, tomato, and avocado, and a slice of cheddar. I also got an almond milk “birthday cake” coffee with what I assume is whipped cream on top, as well as a Mango, Starfruit, Passionfruit Refresher. My order came to about $15 (which is cheaper than Starbucks and for far better quality . Apparently the low carb bagels are made with soy flour. The texture is PERFECT (and you can check my reviews, I am a New York transplant and am VERY picky about bagels. I was blown away! . The taste is good, but it isn’t the bagel taste you expect, so I don’t think I would normally get the low carb, but definitely amazing for what it is. The fancy fruity drink was a little too sweet for me (likely a mix of a bunch of syrups . I prefer fresh juice based drinks. The coffee? ON POINT! I got no added sugar, and the sugar on top was JUST the right amount. Mmmmmm. Wish this was closer!!!!!! AND it’s attached to a gas station, so you can fill you tank AND your other tank : . They also have muffins and pastries and cooler drinks, and are in the same plaza as an aloe tea and protein smoothie place, a sub shop, and a convenience store. Plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. There is a lip to the curb to the sidewalk in front of the store, and you’d have to get on the sidewalk to get into the store, but it is fully accessible inside. They also have a drive up window!
