I tried this place again, and this time for the bagels. While this place is made famous for their challah breads within the local Jewish community (to be found on Thursdays and Fridays), I have to say their bagels are really good. They are soft, plush, flavorful, and just all around delicious.
Upon coming in here, it's obvious that it is a Kosher (no bacon or anything pork related) establishment and that they cater strongly to the Orthodox Jewish community. This sets this Benny's apart from the others. Does that have anything to do with the quality of the food? I don't know, but the other Benny's does not seem to get as much love.
Only thing is their espresso machine is broken. They had brewed coffee though.
The other thing I didn't like was that it's not very organized. I saw sugar in a place where decaf coffee was supposed to be. Potato chips where bagels were supposed to be. And the menu for the bagels were nowhere to be seen. And so on. But the service was helpful and friendly, and the quality of the breads were good enough for me to consider returning.
And when you come in, you may not see any bagels - and it's because they're stored to stay fresh instead of left out to become dried out. You can ask what flavors they have, but when I was here, they had plain, whole wheat, jalapeño, salted, sesame seed, and everything, just to name some.
I can see myself returning since it feels like a casual place and the bagels are worth it.
