I stopped by Bagels n Grinds for a Meetup event, and I'll will say that I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating the Bagel & Coffee (or rather, grinds) folks were for our group. I'm assuming that the group organizer has something set up with the folks at Bagels n Grinds because the shop gave us our own section to chat. Unfortunately, I was meeting someone for lunch after the even so I did not get a chance to try any of the goodies that Bagels 'n Grinds has to offer. However, I did enjoy a couple delicious cafes americanos.
I did appreciate that the shop has a huge variety of bagels. I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of having to immediately enter the line as soon as you enter the shop. However, I guess that's smart on their end because as you go through the line, you'll probably order something before fully entering the dining/drinking area.
For the area, I thought the prices were fine. Unfortunately, there is not much parking in the little shopping center, which isn't Bagels n Grinds' fault. There is a parking garage affiliated with the hotel, but I'm not 100% if you have to be a guest of the hotel to park in the garage. Fortunately for me, someone was leaving, and I nabbed their parking spot behind the shop.
Looking forward to returning to try a bagel or two.
