Gotham Bagels, Madison, Wisconsin Restaurant Details

Food:

We were literally the first two people to walk into the place right after it opened at 7:00am and although not busy (no one else was here until about 15 minutes later), it took us half an hour to get our lattes. The same person was simultaneously (1) the cashier, (2) the barista, and (3) the cold sandwich maker. As soon as other people started walking in the door, she became overwhelmed (understandably) and we did not receive our lattes until half an hour later after the line had been served. Managers: please hire at least another morning employee as this is a bagel and coffee joint. Also, lox bagel was disappointing - just a few measly strips of smoked salmon covered in an excess of cream cheese - no capers, onions, etc.

Food:

Been here numerous times and never dealt with the owner, but today he was working register and was not only blatantly rude but outright aggressive. When I got my order I checked through the bag while he snarled "everything is there"... Well, it wasn't, he forgot my cream cheese and when I said as much he blamed me for not telling him (I had) and berated me in front of other customers who looked as confused as I was. He proceeded to grab me my cream cheese, sealed them in their little containers and then just as an extra "screw you" he wrapped it in eight layers of Saran Wrap, charges me $5 and tells me bug-eyed and super condescendingly "YOU have a GREAT day now". Chill.

Food:

We recently had a family wedding catered by Gotham Bagels for Sunday breakfast. The food was wonderful! My new daughter-in-law is from Brooklyn and insisted upon "real" New York bagels for everyone. She, as well as everyone else, was very pleased with the bagels, toppings, and supplies that Gotham delivered. Thank you!

Food:

They carry 3 types of tofu, that I get with my sesame bagel. Not sure if anyone else does, but they do so I get the scallion tofu on a bagel.
Makes a nice small, inexpensive lunch.

Now if they just had hummus......this IS Madison! :)

Food:

Our group of five love the Bagels but really like the very large sandwiches. We stop here on the way to Badger Football games. It is always crowded but we have found service to be both polite and fast. I pre-order my Everything Bagels by the three dozen. Living in Milwaukee, I can't find a bagel to compare. We keep com in back year after year.
