Tal Bagels on 54th Street

Bagels are burnt and overall subpar.

I had a salt bagel with whitefish salad. The bagel was good, the whitefish wasn't anything special. It was $9 which I don't really understand when the whitefish salad was $5.50 1/4lb and a bagel is $1.25. There's no way the put more than a 1/4lb of whitefish on the bagel. They had some sort of salmon which was $6.50 1/4lb but $8 for the sandwich, how does that make sense? Moral of the story is that their bagels are good and their whitefish is acceptable and overpriced. I gave it 3 stars because my girlfriend really enjoyed her honey mustard tuna bagel which was $8.

I have been living in the area for some time now so hope my review is not biased.
There were three workers in the store the other around 3-4 PM taking orders from a middle-aged man in
a light-gray suit. He had ordered a few chips, a few bagels. There was another lady who had ordered her sesame bagel. I had been waiting for about 5 minutes without anyone there even attempting to take my order. There were two other workers who were either working on the fridge with drinks and the other working on a delivery. I asked why it was taking so long since the turn-around time is pretty quick.
I figured it was just me or they did not want to work.
So I just left.
What do you expect from people who do not really want to work?

If I could give less than one star I would. Horrible people working here. They look miserable and the bagels sucked- burnt and over seasoned. Tried to use a credit card after not noticing there $10 min and got a nasty attitude from manager for a 9.70 bill. Left the bagel and donut on the table and walked out as you should

Finally stopped in for a bagel. Tried a pumpernickel bagel. It had a funny additive, maybe walnuts. The coffee was OK. Better than deli bagels, but there's better out there.
