Imagine eating cream cheese (a tiny portion) on a piece of burnt cardboard no napkins, wont be back.

Title: A Flavorful Experience at 101 Bagels: A Mixed Bag of Service Nestled in the heart of [Location], 101 Bagels promises a delightful culinary journey, blending traditional bagels with innovative twists. My recent visit showcased their unique offerings, notably the coffee ice cubes and the iced vanilla macchiato, alongside a diverse spectrum of service experiences. Let's start with the stars of the show: the coffee ice cubes and the iced vanilla macchiato. The coffee ice cubes are a stroke of genius, ensuring that your drink never gets diluted, maintaining its robust flavor from the first sip to the last. Paired with the iced vanilla macchiato, it's a match made in beverage heaven. The creamy texture of the macchiato combined with the subtle sweetness of vanilla creates a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate with each sip. These elements truly elevate the coffee experience at 101 Bagels. However, no culinary experience is complete without excellent service, and this is where the narrative takes a turn. While I received exceptional assistance from an African American young manwhose attentiveness and professionalism enhanced my visitthere were noticeable issues with certain staff members. One employee, Hannah, seemed to lack the warmth and enthusiasm characteristic of stellar service. Her demeanor was indifferent, and it felt as though she was simply going through the motions. Moreover, I couldn't help but observe unsettling dynamics with another female employee, whose behavior hinted at underlying issues with racial bias. Her interactions were tinged with discomfort, and it was evident that she struggled with serving customers impartially. In an establishment that prides itself on its culinary innovations, it's disheartening to encounter service inconsistencies that detract from the overall experience. While the coffee creations and flavorsome bagels undoubtedly steal the spotlight, the ambiance created by the staff plays an equally crucial role in shaping patrons' perceptions. In conclusion, 101 Bagels offers a tantalizing array of culinary delights, including the ingenious coffee ice cubes and the irresistible iced vanilla macchiato. However, the charm of these offerings is somewhat overshadowed by service discrepancies, particularly evident in interactions with employees like Hannah and the unnamed staff member. With a concerted effort to address these issues and foster a more inclusive and welcoming environment, 101 Bagels has the potential to truly shine as a culinary gem in the heart of [Location].

Like so many of the other reviews, STAY AWAY. Came in on a Friday. The fountain machine was broken. I asked if he had cans of soda. He said no but I should go to QT down the street. I said how long has it not been working? He said 3 days but the vendor is not able to come out. So if you KNOW you have no drinks, maybe you should go to the regular grocery store and buy some sodas to sell so that you dont tell customers to go to QT? The lox was TERRIBLE and they NEVER clean the tables, execept at the end of the day. This has got to be one of the worst new restaurants in Atlanta. I did complain to the employee and he said 'you dont have to come back, man, it doesnt matter'. You dont want to eat here b/c of quality and total lack of customer service and they dont clean the tables (or floor) except at closing time.
