It’s a solid little place right off Dundee road. Honestly kind of surprised I had not been here before, but today was the second time we had come in for some breakfast.

Very good fresh food. Ordered the turkey pastrami on rye with lettuce, tomato and mustard. Fresh and tasty.

I gave it 2 stars because the bagels were not near as good as the jewel bagels and this place charges $2.50 apiece and Jewel charges $1 for their bagels. Try an Asiago cheese bagel from Jewel then try one from here and you’ll see a MAJOR difference or compare any bagel. I have nothing against this place at all but truth is, they serve an inferior product and because of that I probably won’t be back just my experience.

I have been eating here my whole life. Every time the food is great, and the staff is very friendly! Last night I finally decided to try the Mexican food. We tried the carne asada a la mexicana and the chicken fajitas. Both were DELICIOUS!!!! The beans were a little too salty for me, and I do wish the fajitas came with guacamole, sour cream, and pico, but overall I was very impressed! My dad had a garden omelette and corned beef hash and LOVED both! I also recommend the veggie skins… Scooped out toasted bagel with grilled veggies, melted cheese and served with salsa – SO GOOD!!!
