DePaola's Bagel & Brunch

This Texan dreams about bagels from this shop 24/7. Wish I lived closer, but grateful I got to experience their greatness. The service is super quick and friendly. The dining room was clean and offered many condiments and coffee dressings. They gave a wide range of bagels to choose from, and I love how everything is customizable.

Absolutely love the bagels here, and I'd say it's the best bagels I've ever had. Texture is always perfectly chewy, and they have a wide range of flavours that somehow all taste amazing. Always end up getting at least a half dozen bagels here because I can't choose just one flavour. They also sell small containers of cream cheese that are perfect with the bagels. I always try to stop by here whenever I am on the island.

I was turned onto this place by a Kent Island local, what a find! Fresh made bagels and spreads daily, great coffee, an amazing diverse menu... And a friendly professional staff! Oh, did I mention the desserts! I now make this a regular stop every time I'm on the island.

Very disappointing, I ordered an everything bagel toasted w/ cream cheese and lox, the bagel was cold and dense, they only put cream cheese on half my bagel. The bottom half of the bagel was totally flat with no everything seasoning on it and no cream cheese. Might as well order an open faced bagel if they’re not going to put anything on the bottom half. Which I ended up turning mine into. For my coffee a got an iced Carmel latte very sugary and had no coffee flavor. Wish the food was better since it has a nice inside seating area and nice staff.

The bagels are OK but definitely not New York style. The convenience of bagels on the island is nice. The service sucks. They need to better train their employees and be meticulous in their execution. About half the time we have gone there they have screwed up our order. Once we ordered and paid for, in person, two dozen bagels a day ahead of pickup including a dozen of the pretzel bagels. When we got there at the appointed time they did not have our order together and were sold out of most of the pretzel bagels we ordered. So much for ordering ahead. Yesterday we purchased a dozen, got home... 11. Another call, another needless 15 mile round trip to pick up one stinking bagel. This place strikes us as a good idea but executed in the most half-hearted and sloppy, careless manner
