Reviews for The Bagel Bar - Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, NC

Very good food and service! Very Fresh. Got Sautéed spinach and cucumbers and they were prepared well, as were the eggs.

Well, this is my second post about bagel bar, my first is the paragraph below. Thinking I would give it another chance, I came... back to bagel bar today. I wasn?t surprised when I saw the 6 people waiting in line and another 8 waiting for their order whenI walked in. I thought to myself, I?ll just stick it out... I regret sticking it out. I waited 15 minutes for a single bagelwith cream cheese. Like, what are you people doing? Sorry, just seems like poor management time and time again. Wish I couldleave a photo see show the lack of cream cheese that was spread on my bagel also... I?m actually waiting on my bagel at bagelbar as I write this. I come here because it is close to my home but I wouldn?t if it wasn?t so close. Every time I come in toget something as simple as one bagel, it takes at least ten minutes, as there is only one register going and often at least tenpeople waiting in line. The staff typically aren?t too pleasant to work with, and just recently have I been in here when theperson running the register didn?t ask me if I wanted to leave a tip on the card.... It wouldn?t be a bad little spot if theemployees showed a little more since of urgency, and smiled from time to time. Some as simple as ?good morning? would sufficefor someone like me. Good bagels and cream cheese though, when they put enough cream cheese on the bagels; I have opened bothhalves of the bagel before only to be disappointed in the very small amount that was spread on.

Not one to post comments. Opened after posted start time. No one to cook a bagel sandwich. Was charged for coffee but hadn?t... been brewed. First time this has happened in twenty years. Typically on top of their game. Best bagels around. I will return buthoping for a better experience. Read more

Great bagels and creative sandwiches. I frequent this place even though it's usually dirty (filthy windows and grubby floors).... They could also increase customer satisfaction by expediting the ordering process. I often wait in what always seems to be aVERY slow line, watching at least one employee behind the counter doing nothing. That guy could easily get something started forthe second and third customer in line, especially if the customer at the register is taking their sweet Chapel Hill timedeciding what they want. The owner is completely unreceptive to complaints, so don't bother even trying. Edit. Went backafter a hiatus. Walked out after it was clear that nobody cared about my order or my time. Store was filthy. Never again, but Iexpect this place will close forever in the near future. Read more

As I was standing in line waiting to order bagels I watched one of the workers remove bagels from the oven using what is... essentially a very large cookie sheet with a long stick on it. Very traditional. What I wasn't prepared for was that after thecooked bagels were removed he placed placed this utensil on the very floor he was walking on. He did this multiple times...andthat's when I walked out and decided to post a review (something that I very rarely do). I couldn't help but notice that otherposts have complained about the lack of sanitary conditions at this place as well. Read more
