Great place to stop for good coffee, great bagels, wraps and breakfasts. We had the breakfast bagels and they were fresh, flavourful and quick. Coffee and hot chocolate were both good too. Friendly staff, small eating area available. Also has a drive through and to go orders.

Pizza bagels were absolutely delicious in - 15 degree weather. Hot and savory. The wild smoked salmon (lox) bagel had a good ratio of everything. Very large bagel selection including a bacon cheddar that I've never had before.

We had an Onion Bagel with Veggie cream cheese and a Rio Wrap but on a Poppyseed Bagel. Both were excellent. The coffee we had was also one of the better coffees we had in the Fairbanks area. Service was great too. Btw, the seats reserved for a pair of regular customers was cool and sweet! Overall, highly recommended if you are in the Fairbanks AK area.

This place should have more stars. These are proper NY-style bagels. A ton of delicious choices (really hard to choose) and multiple sandwich options. We tried the Wild Smoked Salmon on Everything bagel, Plain bagel with cream cheese, Cinnamon raisin bagel with pumpkin spice cream cheese, and Blueberry bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. We came here twice on our trip to Fairbanks and wished we had more days in the visit to go back again. We strongly debated going back at the end of the day to bring a dozen home with us but our schedule didn't work out. Opens early so was also a great spot to go fill our tummies after early hours aurora chasing. Northern lights, NY-style bagels and Alaskan blueberry coffee...what more could you want?

Plenty of parking, friendly service and lots of fresh bagel / sandwhich choices. Could've used a little more smoked salmon on my bagel sandwich, but everything else was delicious. Even tried one of their "melt" sandwiches, which turned out to be really flavorful and delicious!

There are a lot of different bagels and sandwiches to choose from. The shop is big and has a lot of seats. I really like the mocha coffee there. It's my favorite drink.
