Zaro's Bakery

Fast, good service, good bagels. They've only messed up my order twice and both times I found a free dessert in the bag

The location is why I keep going back (inside Grand Central). Easy place to grab a bagel on the way to your train. Maybe it's because I typically get one in the afternoon / evening, but the bagels are generally pretty stale. Service is quick if not friendly. Set your expectations accordingly and you will be fine.

The sweetest staff. I forgott my wallet at home and before realizing picked out a water bottel and cupcake, when realized i had no money on me i told them embarassingly and the women helping me just said i can keep the cupcake and pay another time. When i came back the next day to pay they refused to take my money and instead offered for me to buy another cupcake instead. This Warmed my heart turning an embarrasing story into a sweet one. ♡♡♡
