Bagel King Of Bridgeport

So, I gave this place another try.
No real difference from my last review.
One word to make this place better now: SERVICE.
This is a place I want to see succeed in downtown Bridgeport but unless it ups its game it will not be with my help.

My first time eating here this morning and it was fantastic!!! I was a bagel novice and this place had sooo many options! I walked in overwhelmed but the staff was more than happy to help me! I got The toasted Everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and chopped lox (extra $ 1.25 but so worth it). It was amaaaazing. Finished it off with a skim milk pumpkin chai tea which was a revelation!!! With specials like pumpkin bagels and pumpkin cream cheese just in time for fall, I will become quite the regular over these next few months…

Been here twice for lunch and both times the food was great, service was fast. It’s becoming my new lunch spot. So many options to pick from.

Not sure why the lackluster reviews. I have been here many times, and the service has been fine. They have the best bagels in the area and lots to choose from in terms of toppings and sandwiches. Pricing is about par for the area. All –in-​all, Bagel King is a great addition to downtown Bridgeport.

The sandwiches are OK, but I can’t handle the service. I’ve been here numerous times and waited over 10 minutes for a sandwich with no one else in line. Not a go to spot for a quick in/​out. The staff needs an attitude adjustment as well.

Competition is healthy. And if a great bagel place opened a block away, Bagel King (more like a Squire, actually) might be inspired to live up to its potential. But since they are the only ones standing on the downtown bagel landscape, I suppose they can ignore some details that would mean the difference between 3 stars and 5.
Stopped in mid-​morning Thursday to order a couple of bagels, coffee/​tea and a muffin. The bagels are average: satisfactory but nothing more. As empty as the place was, the cashier and bagel assembler (?) seemed half asleep. And maybe they were, since our bagels arrived toasted when ordered untoasted. The cream cheese selection is adequate with flavors like jalapeño and raisin/​walnut, and hey! — they even have a wasabi lox option that’s a nice touch. If only it wasn’t necessary to reapply my cream cheese due to it being smeared on one side of the bagel only.
The coffee was good, the tea with honey was good (bad coffee = bad review so I’m happy about that). The muffin was excellent. In fact, if they want to manage expectations they’ll change their name to Muffin King. It was that good (though the butter was as lopsided as the cream cheese… wake up girl!!).
Anyway, they provide the basics and then some. Will I return? Sure I will. But only after checking Unilocal to see if another place hasn’t opened nearby in an attempt to right a slightly listing ship.

So I order a egg, turkey and cheese on a croissant along with a chicken salad on a croissant. To my surprise after my $ 14 bill I witness the yound lady making my sandwich cooking 1 egg 1 slice of turkey and 1 slice of cheese! Like wth i just paid $ 14 for 2 sandwiches and this is what I get!?! Management needs to improve on their lack of food and their pricing!

Great food and coffee, can be slow. Haven’t been there recently so I’m not sure if it’s been fixed.

best chia tea in town!!!

Here’s my updated review with the main reason for the 1 star review. After receiving sub par service for past several visits, I gave them another chance one cold day in the few minutes i had to get lunch. I went in and ordered my usual vegetarian #29, got back to the office and it had. MEAT ON IT! I called them to see if the mistake was mine. It was not. The girl who took my call apologized and I gave her my number so the owner could call me back, and she never did. So– bad Unilocal review for you! One unhappy customer can make a big difference, BK. not calling me to make amends was a (ahem) king-​sized mistake.

This is the perfect place to grab a nice cup of coffee and a sandwhich if you are in the downtown area.
They offer an array of meats, cheeses and veggies as well as your choice of bagel or roll. The bagels themselves are delicious as are their pastries.
In addition to coffee, they offer standard coffee house drinks (iced and warm).

One of the best sandwich/​bagel shops in fairfield county. All their bread and ingredients are fresh. I was there for breakfast and lunch. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese that was made at that second. For lunch, I had a grilled chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce (#12). Again the chicken was cooked at that instant. Everything there is fresh and tastes great. Plus the girls working there are really nice and friendly.
So to sum things up, great food, great and fast service, and at a convenient location, is there anything else one could ask for?

Cannot beat a good, simple sandwich, quickly prepared.
Thin sliced ham & muenster cheese with tomato & Russian dressing on a wrap.
Tasty.
AND it came with a really good deli pickle spear — crunchy & tart.
I’ll be back.
