Bagel Cafe

Might be my new favourite breakfast place in my travels this summer. Love the eccentricity of everything inside this restaurant. The 80’s/90’s music playing was trippy. Serving staff were very pleasant, seating was quick. Food was fine. Ordered the Cabot Tower, not because I was heading back out onto the sea but because I could. Eyes were bigger than my stomach for sure, but didn’t care.

Loved this place and all day breakfast.. its the best! They had a two for one lobster deal with side and a bottle of wine... i only got one lobster for me but it was great and yummy garlic better!! Recommended 100% Has a step up to get in but there were some small tables outside.

Voted the best breakfast in St. John's for good reason! My husband and I enjoyed our visit so much we came back again the next day. Quirky charming decor supported by hearty portions of delicious food. I don't have good coffee in my hotel so I thoroughly enjoyed the giant mug I received shortly after being seated. Reminds me of a cross between the old Baker Street Cafe in Ottawa and Serendipity III in New York. Worth a visit (and another, and another...!)

A very nice spot, lots of seating, sometimes space is a little tight especially at peak hours but well worth it. Very good menu selection, nice bathrooms, and great service! The food comes quick and is delicious even when they were very busy. Definitely a must visit if you are in the area!

The Bagel Cafe was recommended. I was not disappointed. The interior is eclectic but very pleasing. While in Newfoundland why not try a local Touton dish. It was delicious and memorable. I ordered a latte which was not the best and a bit pricey for what it was. The service was very friendly as to be expected in this province and it was very efficient. I arrived just after the lunch rush and had to wait about 10 minutes before being seated. I would suspect reservations would be good to have for the Bagel Cafe.

All-day breakfast with a variety of sweet, savory, or combination options. Loyd’s also offers seafood dishes. I ordered the waffle with bacon—generous portions of crispy bacon and a waffle with a great texture. Served with a choice of fresh fruit, whipped cream, and table syrup. Casual and relaxed dining environment.

Cafe was recommended to us, and glad we came! Had the Cape Spear Touton (nice variety of beans, fishcake, egg & bacon) and the Touton Breakfast Sandwich. Both were extremely filling, the breakfast sandwich in particular as it had the touton and hash browns. Perhaps a tad too many carbs in one meal! That being said, the food was delicious. Our first time visiting Newfoundland and we had to try their breakfast staple. Something we noticed was how sweet the molasses was, so if you're not into added sweetness, use it sparingly as a dip! The restaurant atmosphere is a little dark and some booths are rather snug, but there's a hominess to the space. Satisfying visit to The Bagel Cafe.

One of my favourite restaurants in St. John’s! The Bagel Café has such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, with great food and friendly service. I had the touton crab cake breakfast, huge portions and absolutely delicious. The seafood chowder was a bit thick for my taste but still flavourful. And the cinnamon sugar-coated donuts? So good. Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re in town!

of all the FOOD spots we went to in a week enjoyed this the most the oatmeal and bagel is excellent and fruit bowl w poached eggs and bagel - A+ look at that picture! gorgeous breakfast second time waitress took forever; but food prep is quicker

Let's start off by saying the inside is so charming and inviting that it makes you want to stay. I grabbed breakfast from there this morning and it certainly was a hungry man's meal. I would return without reservation to try other stuff. The lady that took my order was incredibly kind and helped me navigate the menu. Can't go wrong here.

Stopped here for breakfast during our trip to St. John's and I would recommend it. Friendly service, good food, and great ambience. The menu is big enough to find something. I had the touton benedict, and I enjoyed it! Next time I'm in St. John's I'll definitely come back.

Excellent service and food...had breakfast here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The baked beans are to die for! You won't leave hungry, that's for sure!

A reliable place for lobster in St. John's. Excellent service, good value, fun decor. Unpretentious vibe and very friendly staff.

Good was passable, service was slow. No real ambience just the constant buzz from other (tourist) patrons. Prices,not unlike most of St. John's, we're ridiculous. Might pick up a coffee there if walking downtown...

We selected Bagel Cafe because we just finished a six hour flight to Newfoundland. This cafe was close to our AirBnB and it was the first place we found where the meals were not all starting at over $20. It's very nice inside. It's not loud but there is music. We got a very private booth. Service was a bit sketchy when the server couldn't answer a question about what kinds of lager beers they sell (no draft). Two of us ordered the Seafood Chowder for $13 something. It was fine but too thin to be a chowder. Maybe they do things differently here but to me chowder should be thick. It was the right size for what we wanted though. Another guest ordered a breakfast dish and it was huge. Perhaps on a different day I'll order something that will be more impressive. I'll come back for the location, ambiance and selection.

Incredibly friendly service, a smaller space but very inviting. Would highly recommend & the food was great

A little hidden gem! Interesting atmosphere and wonderful food. Our food came out very quickly during a very busy lunch time!

Huge portions and the bagel eggs Benny was pretty tasty. Great service. Place is a little dusty, But that's that the charm of it ..

Go hungry as portions are big & you won't be disappointed ! Fantastic service & lots to look at with the decor of the restaurant,

Very strange decor, slow food prep and a rude, entitled server led to a mediocre experience. Upon entry, we were directed upstairs. Twenty five minutes later the server came to take our order. I was looking for the courtesy "Sorry for the delay" type of opening. Instead I was told that we were the last to be seated. Missing the point that 25 minutes was too long to wait regardless of seating order, we went to the main floor dining area. There, we were greeted and served by a very nice server. Still the kitchen took another 25 minutes to prepare some soup,a side of fish cakes and a bagel BLT. The food was not award winning in any way and the bill came over $40. Not worth it. Too bad. I blame management for poor training, no oversight and genuine disregard for customers. Hope this helps.

Maximum portions for a great price, the ultimate hangover joint downtown! Best choice is the fish and brews K.h

great breakfast spot. had perhaps one of the best omelettes I've ever had. home fries also great portions are enormous. Too large really. I mean who needs a twelve egg omelette? yes, really. twelve. but would I go back? definitely.

Got breakfast takeout from here. Ordered a cheese bagel toasted with cream cheese and yogurt with banana and strawberry. As per the menu they use Greek yogurt and include granola. The yogurt was almost definitely regular vanilla with no granola. And I got a cinnamon raisin bagel instead of cheese. 3 star still because the fruit and bagel were good but poor service.

Would not recommend this restaurant as a place to eat in St. Johns. The food is second rate and complemented by poor customer service. There are better places to spend your money in the town.

This place has a great quirky atmosphere with friendly staff but their food is quite bad, and way below expectations because of the awards they've won - the food is also quite expensive for what you get. Overall this place was way below expectations, and I wouldn't recommend this place. We ordered the lobster caesar, this is the first time I've had a caesar, but my friend said it wasn't that good it's missing that kick that makes you go wow. It's cool that they have that lobster claw, but the lobster is either overcooked or it's not fresh because it was very bland and the texture was not right. These were $10 each. My friend and I ordered the Newfoundland eggs benedict and Traditional eggs benedict, respectively. These were $17 each, and the only thing good about this meal was the potatoes, they were perfectly crispy and delicious. The traditional eggs benedict came with bagel that was hard to cut into and ham / bacon that was too salty. The fishcake in the Newfoundland eggs benedict was soggy and too soft, it broke apart immediately when you try to pick it up. Also it doesn't feel like there is any fish, there is either really fish and just filler or the fish has completely melted because it came from frozen or was over cooked.

Stopped in for a late breakfast on our last day in town. It's a quirky, cramped little place. My chair stuck into the main through way as you entered the restaurant to the right, and each and every customer that entered either kicked my chair or bumped into my back. It is what it is. I decided to get the nuthouse burger because when will I ever have a chance to order a burger with peanut butter all over it. It was interesting, but it tasted how it sounds: heavy, dry and not very amazing. My wife had the Yorkshire Benedict and loved it. All said, not a bad place, just not a great experience.

Delicious food! Great coffee! Great service! Fun decor! I had the crab cakes breakfast and my partner had the bologna breakfast. Hardest part was choosing from the extensive menu. I would definitely go back the next time we're in St John's.

Decent place...busy but reasonable service. GIANT bowl of fruit served, pretty good garlic and herb cream cheese served with bagel

Myself and my boyfriend went to grab a quick breakfast. We went inside with 3 other people and waited for at least 2 minutes for a hostess to greet us. When she did, she accused all of us of cutting the line, telling us to wait outside. There was no indication of a line. She did not warmly greet us, or kindly share what the process was. My boyfriend and I work in hospitality and were so appalled at her greeting that we left. She also chased away 2 of the other 3 people who were waiting to sit down. This event occurred Saturday 9/24.

Such a great find walking distance to our hotel! We came here for breakfast twice during our 4 day stay. Great good. Great service. A great big cups of coffee!

We went here based on the reviews from Yelp. It was everything the reviews said. The food was great. The portions were huge and the staff were very friendly and fast. It was pretty expensive. Most of the offerings were around $17 I had the Newfoundland Eggs Benedict. This was better than average fish cakes topped with perfect poached eggs, smoked salmon, capers and hollandaise sauce. There was a mountain of perfect twice cooked home fries on the side. I had a cup of house coffee which was pretty good. ($17.99) My partner had the East Coast omelette which was a large plate full of scrambled eggs topped with house smoked ham, bacon and lots of cheese ($16.99) His daughter had yogurt and fresh strawberries ($6.99) with a bagel and cream cheese ($4.95). She helped out with the mountain of home fries and smoked ham and bacon. We left plenty of food on our plates. Splitting an entre would be a good idea. The restaurant was decorated with an eclectic mix of stuff. Pretty interesting to look at while waiting for food. The place was packed on a Wednesday morning with locals and tourists. They have tables tucked in every nook and cranny. We were stuffed in a half booth in the front window. Again very entertaining watching people on the street. I would go there again.

The atmosphere in this restaurant was very quaint. The decorations made it feel homey as if you were in your grandma's house with all her newly trendy decorations. The booth and tables were super small, but they have two levels with many options. The breakfast menu had a huge selection of options. We tried a hash and the touton breakfast sandwich. The portions were way more than we could eat but very delicious. I will definitely be returning to this spot the next time I am on the east coast!

Me and my mom where excited to go out for a nice lunch and decided to try bagel cafe. The decorations are interesting and I loved the environment BUT I cant say the same for our food. My mom ordered fish and chips and i ordered a bagel sandwich. The fish was very old with grey colouring, it was even disgusting to look at. My sandwich was presented nice but tasted terrible. Not one thing on the sandwich tasted good together and the chicken piece was so small and dry, probably half the size of the bagel they put it on. I probably ate half of my meal and my mom had to send her fish back. They even screwed up the water, it was so warm and had no ice... Not to mention, we had 6 different servers within the hour we where there. Don't waste your money here, you could get a better quality meal at McDonald's

This place is lined up most mornings, so I took it as a sign that busy meant good. We were able to get a booth and squeeze 6 of us in within 15 mins and put in our food orders (I got seafood chowder and a side of hashbrowns and my GF got french toast and a side of fruit). I might be mistaken, but when I hear "chowder", I think a creamy soup base. But here, it was a broth. And it was more heavy on the veggies than seafood, but tasty nonetheless. The hashbrowns were crispy pillows of potatoes and I was given a generous serving, so they eventually became table hashbrowns so everyone else could enjoy them too. Originally, my GF commented how ridiculous it was that they charged $8 for a side of fruit. But a hearty bowl filled with starfruit, melon, pineapple and a whole plum came out and we thoroughly enjoyed it considering most places just serve cut up apples/oranges or those processed fruit cups (mmmm glucose juice). So, does busy mean good? Not necessarily. I think busy in St.John's just means you only have a handful of places to go to, so you make your rounds.

Great place! The server was very pleasant and efficient. Brought us two Black Horse to start. I had the Traditional Eggs Benedict. It was a lot of food. Too much for me to finish. It was really good with huge half inch slices of ham on a whole grain bagel. The eggs were beautifully poached and medium done as ordered. My wife had a lobster tail special. It was also a lot of food but very yummy little canner type lobster tail. Highly recommend.

Yummy hearty breakfast. Big menu. We had the Newfoundland Benedict with fresh fish cakes and a salmon Benedict. Both were great.

The Bagel Cafe has to be our all time go-to restaurant in St. John's. We only live outside the city; however love to try and experience new places. We first tried the waffles a few years ago and always visit when we are in the mood for some great comfort breakfast food :)! Absolutely love the atmosphere. Staff are great and service is quick. It's a must-see and must-try place when in the city!! In addition to breakfast, the lunch menu is excellent. My favourite is the cordon bleu sandwich on a bagel ... mmmmmm!

What's a group of guys to do when they're hungover in St. John's after a few solid nights of pre-wedding drinking? Well first of all you sleep in until 11am. But after you finally get yourself together and wash off the smell of alcohol and shame, you regroup and head to the Bagel Cafe. Conveniently located on Duckworth St, Bagel Cafe is centrally located and a hop skip and a step from the heart of downtown, but has easier parking than Water Street and the street as a whole has its own interesting offerings of restaurants and shops. When we all arrived we had a slight wait for tables since there were several of us, but it just gave us all the more time to (a) recover some of our wits before interacting with other members of society and (b) take in the very Newfieclectic decor of the restaurant. With wooden booths that lent a homey feel, to the nick nacks covering the walls and the various nooks and crannies of the place, it was a lot for the eyes to take in, but not in a garish way like say Jungle Jim's. We had a couple tables pushed together for us upstairs and were promptly seen to by a friendly and patient waitress. We got some drinks to rehydrate and/or caffeinate us while we perused their very large menu. The breakfast menu alone had sections for waffles, pancakes, big breakfasts, omelettes, quesadillas (...yeah, I know) and potato bakes, which are the equivalent of skillet meals on Smitty's menu. Extra kudos to BC for having this bad boy breakfast menu available all day! The words "all day breakfast" are like an angelic chorus' calorie-filled song to me, drawing me into their golden brown, deep fried gates. There's also a very noticeable Newfoundlander slant to the menu as well, which adds a nice flare to the menu beyond your typical breakfast fare. There are plenty of breakfast dishes with baked beans, bologna, Cheez Whiz (tm), various forms of fish, and something I'd never heard of before - toutons. As I would find out at another restaurant, these are lumps of fried dough, basically a doughnut without any glaze, filling, or hole in the middle. A couple other interesting side notes about the menu are that you can make any order of hashbrowns a poutine for $2.99 (breakfast poutine?!?! *Mind and heart explode*) and they have no shame in serving you a bottle of Aunt Jemima if you order pancakes or waffles. Real maple syrup? Pfffft. I wasn't feeling particularly adventurous that morning (or was it afternoon at this point?) so I stuck with the big breakfasts section of the menu and quickly decided upon "The Weekender" which comes with three eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns and toast. Once we all got our orders in, it seemed like we didn't have to wait too long given the size of our group and how busy the restaurant as a whole was. Respect. Wanting some rich, runny yolks on my eggs I had gotten them sunny side up and while they're cooked to what I would classify as medium, there's still plenty of delicious yolk for dipping my toast in. Little packets of Kraft jam will forever be ignored by me when I have the option of eggs to serve as my condiment instead. The sausage sticks out from the plate as it's readily apparent that it isn't your typical small breakfast sausage link, this thing is a full sized sausage; while it has a good flavour, it could use some more of whatever the magical combination of seasonings are in regular breakfast sausages. The bacon is crispy and bacon-tastic as ever, and I even lucked into a friend's bacon when he was too full to eat it. Yes, believe it or not, that apparently happens to people. Not me, but people. My only gripe about the meal, and this applies to nearly every restaurant that serves breakfast, a glass of OJ does not cost the same or more than a 2L carton does in the store. Cut it out. All in all, it was a very solid breakfast and hit the spot in the way that spot needed to be hit. If I'm back in town and looking for breakfast grub, you'll find me here exploring more of the menu.

The Bagel Café was my first restaurant visit in St. John's and instantly became a must-eat for all future trips. Tucked away on Duckworth, a bit calmer than busy Water Street, parking is usually easy to find not far from the big red awning. The inside is a beautiful mess. From sea netting to chandeliers made from tangled up microlights, it all comes together pretty nicely once you're set up in a little booth with its own roof as if you're having a nice dinner outside. All day breakfast is totally full of win with endless options of fresh baked bagel based meals. I go for the bagel benedict options with the bangin' hashbrowns but I've seen equally impressive sandwiches. And these are massive platters, ladies and gentlemen, so be ready to eat. After my first visit, an easy five stars. The second trip took it down a couple of notches though when our meals didn't hit the plate for almost a full hour after ordered. Maybe meal number three will bring things back up, but for now, I'm a fan who wishes the wait times were shorter.

Despite its name which one may assume that is all they serve, the dinner here is pretty good. Starting with Cod Tongues as our appetizer, the Fish and Chips, Lobster & Mussels Salad as well as pasta dishes were well prepared and quite tasty. The decoration inside the restaurant reminded me of an Irish pub but it is definitely a place where you can bring your family with young children. The only challenge may be that all their tables are too small to handle larger groups especially with their fairly big serving plates.

Steps from the hotels on Duckworth and Water Streets, we started our long days of touring at this kitschy, charming breakfast spot. Despite the daunting long lines, we were always seated promptly, although do expect slightly cramped quarters (and no A/C like most places in St John's). The portions, like the giant mugs of coffee, are massive and a reasonable price. For example, when you order the "side of fruit" you'll get the Noah's Arc of bowls, with 2 of everything. I ate from my fruit leftovers for 3 days. If you're available for breakfast during the week, you can get a heaping plate of eggs, hash browns, toast and 2 fresh crab claws for 12 dollars. Let me clarify... 12 measly dollars. They also have an array of lobster dinners we didn't get a chance to try, mainly because after a breakfast at The Bagel Cafe you'll still be full at dinner time.

Just hearing the name Bagel Cafe makes me drool. Buckets. Why? Two words... Newfoundland Benedict... Now imagine if you will dining in a little cafe with all kinds of nooks and crannies to hide yourself away with a dining companion over a cup of tea of coffee while staring up at the eclectic mix of decorations adorning the walls and ceilings. You name it, it is probably on display at The Bagel Cafe. It exudes an aura of hipster mixed with Bohemia and a dash of seafaring thrown in for a truly unique atmosphere. Service was attentive, friendly and willing to offer suggestions but delivery was sometimes a bit slow. I visited the cafe twice in a six day span while in St. John's all because of those two words above...Newfoundland Benedict... Some culinary genius decided to marry the best parts of eggs Benedict with the mouthwatering perfection of traditional Newfoundland codfish cakes and voila...the most amazing brunch offering I've ever encountered. Two codfish cakes topped with poached eggs (slightly runny please) that was then drizzled with impeccable hollandaise sauce and then topped with smoked salmon. PERFECTION. It was so good I ended up ordering it on my second visit which was necessary after the first time because I wanted to have it again. I'm still trying to find somewhere in Halifax that will offer this...hint, hint! I've since recommended the spot to a few friends travelling to St. John's and they have not been disappointed.

Newfies. Love. Salt. I love the East coast, and the people are fantastic. The service in this place isn't the fastest, and it's mad confusing to figure out how to get a table with the cramped halls and an unclear upstairs/downstairs system, but they are SUPER great when you find your person! The food is honestly fine. Expensive for brunch for sure, and insanely salty, but so is everything else in St John's for some reason. Portions are massive, the menu is varied, and they find fun ways to get all local about it with Newfoundland eggs bennie, and fish cakes with all kinds of stuff. Quirky inside, lovely people, heavy hypertension style food, and a real vibe they've been there forever... give it a go :)

Great breakfast fare Small booths for four people but great for less Staff was friendly and the place was always busy

Friendly staff and very accommodating. Food not so great. Had Benedict which was ok. My sister had French toast which was hard. Brother in law had steak and eggs which he said was good. Boyfriend had waffle with sausage. Waffle mediocre, sausage was very good.

After a mediocre breakfast somewhere else in the city, I walked by this place later that day and decided it would be the next place for me to try. I consider this place to be a good find. I love the quirky atmosphere inside and the service is pretty pleasant. Food is really good as well. Oddly enough, I've never had breakfast here but I've had a few lunch options (soup and salad, club sandwich) and the food has come out tasty and well prepared. I've seen some people complain about the pricing. While I agree some things are overpriced (the club could be a few dollar less..), some things are an excellent deal. Happy to provide them with repeat business.

This literally has to be one of the best local restaurants. There's no way you can beat an all day breakfast. And the food is delicious. The staff are also very friendly here. On top of all of that, you will not leave hungry! If anything, you will be asking for a doggy bag. You get SO much food!

I was served the Newfoundland Benedick in a very friendly and efficient manner. Nice size portion and typical presentation. The fishcakes are wonderful, not overly fishy at all, great sauce... just wished for bit more of the smoked salmon garnish. Quaint atmosphere...I expect I'll be back.

Three words: eighteen dollar bagel. Yep. Even Montreal wouldn't have the balls for that. Ordered two breakfast bagels to go on the phone, for a quick stopoff on the way to the airport. Girlfriend ran in to pick them up, only reason they weren't left abandoned at the cash. I would have returned them except we were halfway to the airport by the time she told me the bill was $36+. So I immediately pulled over, and unwrapped my styrofoam tray with TLC (which cost $1 extra incidentally - each - extruded plastic for takeout apparently costing Newfoundland restaurants more than the labour to serve and clean up behind those who eat in). I was super stoked, assuming that an $18 breakfast bagel would include truffles, some lobster...maybe an exotic massage from the baker. Nope. A smallish sesame bagel, one egg, two strips of bacon, and some lettuce and tomato as sad as the lost and lonely California produce usually found on the Rock. Oh, and some half cooked hash browns - actually just potato chunks. They did however include a year's supply of condiments. Subsequently confiscated by the all-protecting Canadian Air Transport "Security" Agency. The fact that this place averages four stars is a testament only to the volume of drunken southern American tourists it serves, and/or the rarity of edible food in NL.

This was the first place we ate after arriving in St. John's late the night before. The food selection and quality was incredible. There is so much on their menu that it can be hard to decide but pretty much anywhere you land on this menu you'll find something delicious. Best breakfast menu I've seen in a long time. I ended up ordering fish cakes with lox and hollandaise and it was amazing. The restaurant itself is not very big and it didn't seem like they had anywhere to accommodate larger parties. This is now our go to breakfast place in St. John's.

I went on a weekday morning and it wasn't overly busy, so my group was seated right away. They have a large menu that can be quite overwhelming to look at though. They also have specials every now and then, and this time they had a lobster breakfast special, which my girlfriend got. I ordered the Newfoundland Benedict, which was an eggs benedict served on fish cakes with smoke salmon. The portions are massive. And the homefries are absolutely delicious, probably some of the best breakfast potatoes I have ever had. My girlfriend really liked her lobster dish as well, it came with two large lobster claws, eggs, potatoes, and toast. The flavour of my dish was on the spot, but my only comment is that it came with a tiny morsel of smoked salmon on top of the poached egg. I thought it would have had at least a slice of smoked salmon but the two morsels combined weren't even half a slice. A friend at the table got the same dish and it was the same amount of smoked salmon. Nonetheless, the food was acceptable and the service was friendly. I would go back for the potatoes, they were that good. If you're going with a group, you may not need one meal per person, the portions are huge.

Found bug in am omelette this morning. Sorry, but that's not acceptable. Staff could only say sorry yet they didn't seem too surprised. Makes me wonder how often that happens.

The food quality was probably 3 stars, but the breakfast prices were outrageous, which dampened my generosity. Prices were similar to what you'd expect from a high end hotel, but the quality was not. With tip, breakfast for three was $80! All of it, omelette, fruit, eggs, coffee, toast, etc was meh at best. Bread was semi-toasted Dempsters. Bacon was nearly flavourless. Omelette was alright. Fruit plate was mostly whole fruits, leaving us to try and slice it ourselves with our bread knife. Bagels were not that great. The setting of this place is interesting. You'll either love it or hate it. Most of the seating is homemade benches and not terribly comfortable. But the place has lots of character and interesting little nooks like you might expect in an old-timey Japanese resto. Lighting was extremely, extremely dim. A weird and expensive way to start the day.

Monday night for their lobster and wine for 2 special. Loved the funky decor. Fast efficient service and the food quality was very good.

We had a fabulous waitress and was so helpful. She took the time to explain to prairie people (us) how to eat the whole lobster and so patient with all the questions. The food was delicious and would go back whenever I am in St. John's.

A really big breakfast that you can share - if you only want to eat a regular portion. The portions are American sizes. Quality for the food is great and breakfast is served into the afternoon. Note it is a busy spot and the entrance is small. Do not let it turn you away if you enjoy breakfast meal. They also have lunch/dinner options too!

Pro: huge menu. Con: huge menu. Menu is a bit overwhelming, featuring several pages of sandwiches upon sandwiches. Fries were not good at all and the sandwich wasn't the best for almost 20 dollars. The building is cramped and seems old and run down.
