Modern Bagel Cafe

While I usually enjoy this bagel shop I was unfortunate to have contracted a foodborne illness from this shop. I ordered my usual a bagel with cream cheese and lox, on 10/27 and began to feel ill within 6 hours after eating the bagel. It is unclear what food or foods caused the illness. I experienced severe abdominal pain, fever, body aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms lasted over 48 hours and I am still recovering. I hope this post encourages people to be more mindful of food safety guidelines, especially food service workers. Lastly, if people choose to eat here you may want to rethink your order or bagel shop options.

Best bagel cafe this side of the Hudson. Make sure to try their walnut raisin cream cheese.

Every single time I’ve gone here they have made my order wrong. I went in today for the 5th time asking for my normal order without cheese. Yet every single time, I’m given cheese & then given a new bagel order WITH ANOTHER THING NOT RIGHT. I’ve tried to enjoy my time getting bagels from here but MBC has failed to write down their orders bc clearly they can’t remember them right considering the orders I receive are always wrong. Always feel like I’ve wasting money going here bc I can never enjoy my meal. Either never toasted or contains cheese which I can’t eat. Also like to say that when my order was redone, it was not only rushed but the Taylor ham is literally raw & not fully cooked. Bagel also wasn’t toasted like I asked. They need better mechanisms for taking orders bc NO ONE can remember a simple bagel order.

Love that they do curbside pickup. Really separates then from the other bagel shops in town.

Really good old school local bagel place
