Elaine's Bagels - Berkley

This restaurant has a classic bakery vibe. I have always been treated well, with very polite and pleasant experiences. The coffee is consistently hot and I even received extra bagels when it was slow. I usually get a bagel and cream cheese once a week for breakfast and they are always delicious. This place is my go-to for bagels and I highly recommend it if you are in the area. I am very happy I started coming here.

This is the worst coffee I have ever had. It was old and cold, and instead of making a fresh batch, they just reheated it in the microwave. The place smelled like burnt cheese and chlorine. Absolutely terrible.

This traditional bakery takes me back to my childhood with delicious chewy bagels made fresh. The $6 combo of a fresh bagel and coffee is unbeatable. I'll definitely be returning!

My first visit to Elaine's Bagels was today. The bagels and cream cheese were excellent, but I believe the standout characteristic of this place is the customer service. They provide a true New York deli experience by making you feel like a bother. It's a unique and immersive experience to be served with all the right words, but without any real enthusiasm or emotion. This place is fantastic, especially if you don't take it too seriously.

I recently moved into the area and decided to try out this Bagel place because my family enjoys bagels. It was a peaceful and straightforward establishment. The bagel and cream cheese were tasty, and the woman who served me was friendly, though not overly talkative like many in the Midwest, which I appreciated. I will definitely return to do some work on my laptop in the relaxed atmosphere.
