  I live down the street from this place and always drive by it daily but never stopped in. I got an egg, bacon and cheese on a croissant.
  It was really good and fresh. The croissant was really fresh baked with a nice buttery flakey top. It's pretty big versus a regular sized croissant. I would definitely come back to discover the rest of the menu.
  Great customer service. Very friendly workers and quick made order to go.

  Terrible experience.  The place looks tired and old but we like to support local businesses so we gave it a shot. I wish we hadn't. We ordered 2 bagels toasted with cream cheese.  This should be pretty straightforward for a place named Beyond Bagels...but it wasn't. The cream cheese was applied so sparingly you'd think it was made of gold.  There wasn't enough to spread onto both sides of the bagel so I asked for some more to fix it.  The cashier had already departed to the back room so I had to knock and yell a couple of times to get her attention.  Once she came back she scooped out a small cup and wanted to charge me for it.  When I showed her the bagel with barely any cream cheese on it she answered that was how they did it.  She was brusque and clearly didn't care whether I was a satisfied customer or not.  Also, they only take cash.  We live close by but we wouldn't go back if we lived 10 feet from the place.

  Terrible experience. I accidentally ordered "scallion" cream cheese instead of chive and they threw a temper tantrum when I clarified that it was regular scallion and not bacon after it was made, only due to an allergy. They threw the first bagel out aggressively in the trash and loudly exclaimed "NOW I HAVE TO THROW IT OUT." all while rolling their eyes and showing extreme frustration despite being told the only reason for the precautions was for an allergy. I used to really like this place but it seems like they went from service oriented to money focused. They are very rude, don't mind yelling at you in front of other customers, and belittle you if you make any clarifications, comments, or point out an error. I won't be back.

  The bagels here are good, the coffee is not.
  
  If a bagel place needs to get one thing right, it's fresh bagels, and Beyond Bagels has some tasty bagels. Every day they put out a finite number of freshly-baked bagels, and they stay open till they sell them out. That's a good sign.
  
  Their coffee and espresso, on the other hand, just isn't particularly good. I'm almost certain it's the beans they use, since everything else is done by machine. I've tried the cappuccino, espresso macchiato, and iced coffee, and all had roughly the same taste. It's frustrating, because they have an espresso machine right there and everything... like... they've invested in an expensive espresso machine, then never bothered to get good coffee beans.
  
  I'd really recommend their sandwiches, particularly the ruben. I haven't had a sandwich from them yet that wasn't tasty and satisfying, and it feels like all of their strengths come together with their sandwich menu. All options use sliced deli meats - so like, sliced corn beef, sliced turkey, sliced roast beef - so it's nothing you haven't tasted before, but again, it's good. The freshly-baked bagel as bread is really what elevates the whole thing.
  
  That said, I've gotten a single bagel toasted with cream cheese before, and it's pretty disappointing. The bagel wasn't really toasted at all, and there was a thin layer of cream cheese that you'd normally only put on one half, rather than spread across both. You're better just buying six bagels and a container of cream cheese and doing it yourself.
  
  So, yeah, I'm going to keep coming back here for the sandwiches and the occasional bag of half-dozen bagels.

  You know when you go into a place wondering how it stays in business and then come to the conclusion it must be a drop spot because that's the only way it could make money? Well that was my thoughts on this place. Maybe that's why it's cash only....
  
  Monday morning at 745 and literally no one is there. The help is in the back when I get in and have to wait . Then the person helping messed up my coffee order and I had to correct her (which by the way my order was iced with whole milk)
  
  Everything bagel with light cream cheese was basically on par with dunkins... So nothing special there.
  
  Coffee is sub par to dunkins. Sooooo....
