Fresh bagels made daily; hands down best bagels in the area. The food is a bit pricey, but the service is great and the employees are nice. I order from Hillside twice a week and spend about $13 each time. If you are willing to pay a few extra dollars for superior breakfast, then Hillside is a great option. If price is your main concern, then you might want to seek food elsewhere. The owner is always at the store, which ensures his employees are working hard and producing quality food. If you have any complaints, ask to speak to the owner (Paul).

They have just removed so it looks more organized. It's one of the few places in the island that has egg bagels so I get ones every week. They're always fresh and made properly. There's always somebody in there. I've never seen them empty. Great service and great people. Highly recommend to anybody who's hungry.
