Reviews describe Bagel St-Lo as a beloved neighborhood spot with homemade bagels, strong coffee, and a warm vintage vibe that feels welcoming to families and regulars; the Verdun location is often highlighted for brunch and casual meals. The bagels are praised for freshness, variety, quality ingredients, and textures, with notes on sesame and poppy seeds and flavorful cream cheeses or spreads; many say the bagels taste exceptional and that meals on site or to go are convenient. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and genuine, with many customers feeling remembered and well cared for even during busy periods, and the atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, charming, and sometimes lively with artful decor and a terrace. Beyond bagels, soups, salads, and brunch items are well received and considered good value, though a few reviews mention portions can be modest or substitutions pricey. Parking can be tricky due to street layout and bike lanes, but nearby streets offer easier options. Some comments caution that vegan or gluten free bagels may resemble flatbread rather than true bagels, and a small number note occasional inconsistency in bagel size or quality during busier times.View restaurant profile

Overall, reviews about Otto Ramen lean negative, with pork ramen described as tasting like nothing and the broth only warm, an extra charge for a ramen egg that turned out fully hard boiled, and a tasteless chicken ramen. Some patrons say there are better options for the same price and do not recommend the place, noting it as an expensive bowl of basic chicken with onions, while the vegetables gyoza are crispy and fried.View restaurant profile

The reviews describe Hinnawi Bros Bagel & Café as a place with excellent bagels and solid coffee, where the bagels are praised as light crunchy on the outside and soft inside, with favorites like the bagel of the day and the Montreal bagel and options such as blueberry, all dressed, and even a coconut bagel for coconut lovers; service is generally friendly and affordable, though a couple of items were made incorrectly and the dine-in area is small, not ideal for groups; finding the shop can be a challenge for first-timers, but once located it is seen as a convenient spot near campus for a quick bite, a study break, or coffee with friends, with cookies described as a must-try and the overall impression that the bagels are fresh, chewy, and satisfying.View restaurant profile
