A few reviewers noted that the tuna melt was disappointing, describing the bagel as doughy, the tuna portion small, and the cheese greasy for the price. Additionally, some family members felt tired after eating white flour-based bagels, suggesting a high gluten content that may be hard to digest. No gluten-free options are available.

Coffee is mentioned as average, with one reviewer stating it is not the primary focus since the bagels are highlighted. However, an iced cappuccino with hazelnut syrup was praised for being well-balanced and not overly sweet, loaded with espresso.
