Payne Street Bake House

I love their bagels! From way back when they were Nancy's Bagel Box.This location is inviting and bright and an enjoyable visit. The parking lot is nice to have for those with mobility issues, but it is small and narrow and a bit of a cluster when it is busy.My coffee from here gets the job done and the food is pretty great.The wifi, when I was there last, was unreliable and not great and I had to hotspot from my phone. But other than that, it is a great coffee shop spot in an area that I think greatly benefits from it's presence.

5/5 for sure!First of all, the spot is so cute. There's plenty of seating and even some outdoor tables too. The girls working the counter are very kind and those preparing food were so quick.The coffee was AMAZING. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was perfect. Not too weak, not watery, not too sweet. Finally the main event - the bagel. I got an everything bagel with salmon schmear and omg. It was fantastic. I'm still thinking about it.

It's cute and small and very popular! If you want to go on a weekend, it gets a little crowded but it's worth it. Their bagel sandwiches are so good. They have pastries, cookies, and other sweets. Get it to go or snag a table with friends. It's the perfect stop on a bike ride or just starting your morning slow.

Great bagel sandwiches, fairly quick service & a nice space. Definitely recommend. They had a ton of bakery items to choose from that looked & sounded delicious. They also sell bags of their bagels & tubs of cream cheese to take home. I thought about doing that next time I go. My husband got the everything bagel & he mentioned it being a little too salty (& he likes salt ) he said he would try another bagel next time bc he loved the quality. A few Parking spaces are on the side of the building & if they're not extremely busy street parking near the building may be available.

I absolutely love bagels. I ordered the Rooney on the Tomato Herb bagel and it was fantastic. It was full of flavor and not too crispy. Their bacon melts in your mouth. I ordered their seasonal apple latte and it also hit the spot. It was the perfect amount of sweet without being too overpowering. I tried my friend's blueberry coffee cake. It was delicious and very soft. It was definitely big enough to split or save for later. The place is spacious and offers many seats to work alone or meet with others. The workers were helpful and friendly. It was pretty busy and we didn't have to wait very long for our orders.

Do they have good bagels? Maybe but I wouldn't know because I got the chocolate ganache brownie and it's all I've been able to think about for the past 24 hours.A quick disclaimer, this brownie is RICH! Like multi millionaire rich. I was only able to eat half of it in one sitting and I'm the type of person who enjoys rich and decadent desserts.The brownie itself- wow. It was a perfect mixture of textures, chewy brownie, hard chocolate drizzle, and gooey ganache. The three different texture really pulled this together. The flavor is multi dimensional and bursting with cocoa.It's so sweet and decadent and not for the faint of heart. If your favorite dessert is a sugar cookie with no icing I would stay away. However if you love chocolate baked goods and are looking for something to satisfy a large sweet tooth, this is for you.

Honestly I would give this place a 3.5 star review but to be kind I rounded up. The bagels had potential but they were cold and not toasted as we weren't given t the option to warm them up. The barista was a bit rude when we asked questions about the menu she just silently pointed over and over and looked unamused by our questions. This was off putting and then serving us cold bagels and a cold cinnamon role was very disappointing. The option would have been nice. The atmosphere is welcoming and cheery with lots of natural light and plants. I would come back but definitely would advocate for the bagels to be warmed. The BEC bagel on everything was delicious with a bit too much on the salt side, however still good.

First time here on a Monday b4 Thanksgiving. The Belt bagel sandwich was delicious. Can't wait to return.

Best bagels in the area!Set in a converted shotgun home is Payne Street Bakehouse. Its exposed beams and cottage core, beachy vibe is comfortable and Instagram worthy.They offer bagels, sandwiches, baked goods, and coffee. The Rosemary Cheddar bagel was my favorite with a few cream cheese options. The lemon strawberry scone is also a must. Ask for jam to top it. They do get busy and can run out since everything is made fresh. So get here early if you have your eye on something special.There is seating indoors and outdoors. There is a very small parking lot, and some street parking. It's situated in an neighborhood, so be mindful that residents are also parked here and you may have to walk a block on busier days.The staff was very busy and was churning out orders rather quickly. But they were kind and helpful. My only one suggestion is there was no one coming around cleaning off tables the hour that I was there. Someone did empty the trash when it got full. They were very busy, but all of the tables were sticky. I've seen at other cafes a self cleaning station with paper towels and spray or wet wipes which customers can help themselves to during rush times in order to feel like they're eating in a comfortable space.

Just a shame how tough and disappointing the bagels are here. They were so cold how can one enjoy a bagel there if they do not provide a product that doesn't almost pull your teeth out. Everyone is nice there it's just eating hard bread was not the experience we were looking for.
