Rudy's Bagels - Poughkeepsie

The bagels always seem to be burnt and very tough. I don't know how you can burn bagels so badly, day in and day, out and not adjust the recipe.

If you're craving a real NYC bagel then these bagels should hit the spot. Granted, the place looks a bit rundown and the staff don't overdo it in the friendly department but they are efficient and accurate. The bagels and cream-cheese topping make up for it. The garlic or onion bagel hits your palate like the taste of the bagels I grew up eating in The Bronx. I don't know about the other offerings such as pastries and sandwiches. All I ever order are bagels. That's what bagel shops are for.

The bagel and food ordered were tasty but they charged me $9.99 for a plain omelet on a plate meanwhile if I ordered a sandwitch it would have been less. In addition, they charged a service fee if using a credit card. They are also extremely under staffed.

Rude employees. Always seem like they don't want be working here. Place seems to get worse and worse

The business itself doesn’t seem to be very much. Maybe the shop was super busy or amazing before; It’s a little dingy now.But my review is based on my bagel. My bagel was fresh and delicious. Some of us had eggs on ours and one of us got cream cheese which was spread generously and flavorful. My husband said he would’ve liked a little more ham on his as it was just one thin piece. I wouldn’t expect to go here for any morning ambience but if you want a decent bagel this is good spot.
