Pumpernickel Bagel and Delicatessen

Incredible poor and racist ppl who do not want to serve minorities whatsoever. I went in last week and bought a salad and before heading out, I saw chips at a different counter and bought them. The white middle age lady at the cash register rung me up and then after handing me my change, started walking away w/out bagging my chips. When I asked her to, she said with an attitude that why couldn't I put it in the bag with the salad. The nerve! Today I went to buy a salad and as a student, I should get a discount. The lady immediately rung me up and when I asked her to apply my discount, she would stating that I needed to let her know right away. I told her that I wanted bread and was asking her for that but she already rung me up and that I would like her to apply my discount. Upon insisting, she called over the same lady from last week who said that I needed to INSTANTLY let them know about my discount and that I will not get a discount with such an attitude bc she would have to undo the charge. I explained the situation but she could care less bc I was not white. Plain and simple. I told her to keep the salad and she told, no problem happily in a condescending way. What, she won't have to unring the register now? Tsk Tsk racism!!!!! Needless to say, I will be telling my colleagues and they will NOT be getting any business from CUNY.

So I get my first sandwich at the Pump, eat a couple bites, and actually double take at it. Why does it taste so good? The ingredients are not magical, and neither is the combination. And yet, wow. It's almost off-putting how they make a breakfast wrap taste so much yummier than the next guy's.

This place is clearly designed to service the Citibank building lunchers, which is good, because it means they're fast and consistent. But it's bad, because it means they're only open Mon-Fri for breakfast and lunch. And if a neighbor wants a turkey sandwich for dinner or a whole wheat everything bagel on a Saturday morning, tough cookies for her.

Prices are just OK. Service is good, nice, quick. My affection is large.

Amazing, giant, full bodied bagels with a fresh taste and great prices to boot! A busy location, being near professional and government buildings as well as steps from the train, locals and commuters surely know what's up! I challenge you to try their bagels and decide not to return (it wont happen), love the vegetable vegan tofu cream cheese here.

Great staple lunch option in LIC. I love their unique paninis, created by the proud hands of one of the ladies who works there. Unique and quite good. They also have great quesadillas or custom mixed salads. Pop in too for their massive cupcakes (nicely done - if you're lucky, they'll even have their PB&J one!)

Food is very good, delivery man is understandable. Can't really get over how it took them 30min to deliver considering my job is about 6 blocks away... But nobody is perfect right? I'm the first to rate this place, a nice round of applause for "El Gordo"
