Bronx Bagels - Sutherlin

The bagel dog with cheese and bacon is my absolute favorite. Quick, friendly quality service. Tasty bagels and other treats. Overall a great place to pick up a snack.

I have never tried Dutch Bros coffee before, so I need to check it out myself and see what all the hype is about. I'm not really a coffee drinker, but I'm feeling hungry at Bronx Bagels.

I understand that any place selling bagels outside of the five boroughs must be given some leeway in the quality of their product despite the fact that bagel places should never be built outside of said boroughs. With that in mind I stopped for my second trip to Bronx Bagels (a baffling choice for a bagel representing location) prepared to apportion a great deal of salt to this Sutherlin landmark. I have also awarded an extra star for this disability. First let 's talk about pumpernickel. Calvin Trillin wrote an entire article in the New Yorker about his daughter 's indignation at the round bread being passed off as a pumpernickel bagel. Reader, let me tell you that the young Ms. Trillin could have been referring to this storefront bakery slanging mushy, carb y, flavorless circles of cooked dough. I ordered my usual bagel: toasted, scooped out (necessary at round breaderies), with just fresh lox and cream cheese. What the dour, matronly proprietress brought out with an ORANGE SLICE as a garnish was, from the bottom of the acceptable lox and cream cheese down, a trainwreck. The bagel was, aside from an almost imperceptible crispness along the periphery, flaccid and far from toasted. Any scooping out was also perfunctory and clearly done without any regard for the customer 's glycemic index. I honestly am not someone who complains or sends food back. Unless there is an unwanted human or animal part in my food, I am unlikely to bother the server or kitchen. This time was different. I just couldn 't abide the fact that this horrible food wasn 't even prepared as I had politely asked! And the coup de grâce was the owner 's entirely predictable reaction that there was something wrong with ME if I couldn 't enjoy her ambrosia. She insisted that the bagel HAD been toasted belying either a nihilistic disingenuousness or a faulty toaster. When I finally left deflated, confused, and angry at a world that would let a place like Bronx Bagels exist I reflected on the fact that my inedible meal cost $10. At the Bagel Hole on 7th Ave in Park Slope, Brooklyn the best bagel place in Brooklyn, putting it in strong contention for the best bagel place in New York and thus the world the same bagel costs $6.

I'm on a lox and bagel kick right now and have tried three different establishments. The lox was absolutely tasteless. The mocha was completely... nasty... yes, that's the correct word! So disappointed. Another reason why I shall never return is the attitude of the owner. I eye witnessed an encounter she had where she was beyond rude, mean and nasty like her coffee. I know she's the owner because she had to tell the others ahead of me in line.

I did not enjoy the breakfast burritos at this restaurant. Additionally, the lady working there also tends to watch over the newspapers, so be cautious.
