Their bagels are about the size of a regular sized palm and eating just one will leave you a little hungry. The bagels at utopia bagel are quite small frankly, “normal” sized even, as far as bagels go. However, the staple of a New York bagel is the sheer size and monstrosity of the bagel. Second of all, I know bigger isn’t always better. First of all, I am a New Yorker and I’ve eaten my fair share of New York bagels. The rating is due to my high expectations (many accolades were given to this bagel shop and this bagel shop has a huge following) and the bagels that fell very short of my expectations. Regardless, these are just things I observed from my time in the bagel shop and do not affect my rating. You can’t wait near the counter where people order but you can’t be so far away that you don’t know whether your order is ready or not. This means that while the ordering process is somewhat functional, the payment process is a bit dysfunctional. You place your order with whoever is free behind the counter and you also rece ive/pay for your order with the same person. The ordering process is simple enough as you wait in line and one of the workers will call you when you’re next. I wasn’t in a rush so I didn’t mind but I cannot imagine trying to buy a quick bagel for breakfast before work. There has been and still is a lot of hype around this place as I waited about 30-40 minutes from ordering to getting my order.

I live around the area but finally came to this bagel spot recently.
