Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food from this bagel shop rivals that of esteemed culinary establishments."
  • "Let me start by saying that the food from Bagels by Jarrett speaks for itself."
  • "The bagels were absolutely delicious, with a perfect balance of chewiness and flavor."
  • "These bagels are fantastic. They’ve got the perfect crunch on the outside and softness on the inside that every bagel SHOULD have."
  • "Everything they do here is SOLID. Definitely check it out."
  • "Bagels by Jarrett does not offer 'Just' the best bagels you can find anywhere. It also has a diverse menu of absolutely perfect meals."
  • "Everything I've ordered has been delicious."

Cons:

  • "The bagel itself was mediocre at best. Very dense and the texture on the outside felt store bought."
  • "Do not bother with their gluten free 'bagel' because it's nothing even remotely close to the real thing."
  • "The regular bagel was very stiff and tough when I cut it in half for her."
  • "One of the most disappointing bagels ever."
  • "Bagels are okay but are subpar compared to other bagel places in the area."
  • "The bagels are not good. They are similar to Panera bagels."
  • "These bagels were tiny and very dense. They had the consistency and taste of homemade playdough."

Service

  • "Jarrett’s kitchen & service staff are courteous."

  • "A smiling and friendly young man brought out the food, very pleasant and great service."
  • "Service was fast and friendly."
  • "The crew are energetic, passionate, and deeply care about the experience."

Cons:

  • "Evidently they can’t take a little constructive criticism. Stop going after your customers who leave negative reviews."
  • "You are not allowed in the store and ordering has to be done through their website."
  • "They don't even have real sausage."
  • "Don't know why it's curbside when the waitress comes out to take order with no mask."
  • "Called to order.... but they only do curbside ordering. Why not answer the phone?"
  • "COVID paranoia. Still not letting people inside as of October 2nd 2022 due to 'Covid' and bc it’s 'just easier' per the roaming girl in the parking lot!!!"
  • "How sad." (In response to the owner's attitude towards negative reviews.)

Price

Pros:

  • "You get your money's worth."
  • "The prices are perfect for the amount and quality of what you get."
  • "I would happily pay a little extra knowing I'm supporting a small business that treats their employees well."
  • "THE PRICE IS THE PRICE!!! Don't argue it! These are hands down the best bagels (and chicken salad) EVER!"
  • "I do NOT agree with some of the price complaints, the prices are listed beforehand there's no surprise here."
  • "If the prices scare you, TRY IT. And keep quality in mind AND portions! Easily most items feed 2 if not more."
  • "At first when I saw the pricing I was taken back but after experiencing the food, it's totally worth it!"

Cons:

  • "Folks I know who have been here like the food; but some, as do I, find it a bit pricey."
  • "Just seems pretty pricey for a small portion."
  • "$26 for a turkey club? I don't know what's more insane: the price of the turkey club or the fact that I ordered it."
  • "I'm giving them 2 stars for quality, but the price is not worth a second trip."
  • "Over priced and OK quality food. Save your money and go elsewhere."
  • "I am only giving this a 4 star review as opposed to a 5 because I'm having trouble getting over the price."
  • "This can be mostly forgivable if their bagel sandwiches weren't the most expensive ones in the area."

  • "It's unfortunate to hear that the mayor's actions have caused some harassment to the establishment."
  • "The windows are covered with paper so you can’t see inside. What are they hiding?"
