Upper Crust Bakery & Cafe

One would think that a business providing service would not roll their eyes at me and be annoyed when asked to cut the bagels for a kids school breakfast. The two men working at 9:30am on Thursday May 26, 2016 should be replaced with people who care about customer service a bit more or go through some pretty intensive training before being unleashed on the public.

The place is really clean and they chop a salad yummy! The guys at the counter have always been really friendly, just wish they had rainbow bagels later in the day.

Went here because our friends go here a lot and my son raves about it. Great bagels! Didn’t think it could be possible in Darien ! Just wish I knew sooner. Friendly nice staff.

Fantastic (real) bagels and very good coffee. The crust was perfectly chewy and the lox spread made me smile. Can’t stop thinking about that bagel.

The bakery was great when I first started going there. The food is good but the can NEVER GET MY ORDER RIGHT. I ask for toasted bagel with VEGETABLE cream cheese and tomato but they always use normal cream cheese. Is it really that hard to get it right? Sometimes they don’t toast it and sometimes they give me 3 bagels instead of 2! Overall a great bakery but they have to make sure to get orders right…

Extremely disappointed in this place. I work nearby and there aren’t many options for inexpensive food that is also relatively healthy. I saw on their website that they offer customizable salads that were priced much lower than the overrated salads at the nearby Panera, so I thought it would be a good lunch option. However, I have yet to purchase a salad from this place as I was told on a Saturday that salads are only offered during the week. I came back again on a Tuesday at 2:30 looking to buy lunch for me and my coworker and was told that salads are only available until 2pm. Are you kidding me?! Something as simple as a salad bar should NOT have this many restrictions. And may I say that NOWHERE on their website OR in the café itself is there ANY mention of these rules.
The only reason why I’m giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 is because the bagel I purchased was actually very good. It was about the same price as a bagel and cream cheese from the Dunkin across the street, but much tastier and actually fresh.

I happened upon Upper Crust Bakery and Café one day when I had to take treats to a business meeting. I ordered cookies. I have to be honest that I didn’t pay attention to my order but the cookies looked delicious. I ordered 2 dozen assorted cookies. When I got to the meeting the cookies disappeared in minutes. People were begging me to tell them where I got the cookies. I have used UCBC ever sense.

Best bagels I’ve ever had in my life and the people who work there are so sweet. Not sure where the negative reviews about the service came from… I’ve been going here for fifteen years and don’t have a single bad thing to say about it.

Delicious bagels, very delicious, although a bit pricey. Mediocre coffee. I really like their bagels, they are soft, fresh and tasty, but unfortunately that’s about all I liked. I will say I will probably go back, but not often.

Overpriced, mediocre bagels. I’m also pretty sure mine was from the day before.
There are WAY better options in the area…

Great sandwiches, bagels and coffee. They also have a chopped salad that is made to order. Nice spot if you have little ones. It has an enclosed play area.
