That title is the song that I sing when I think of this place.
There is nary a non English speaker ever in this place
It’s regularly crowded with long lines of loud speaking and jovial religious natives of New York, such as Teaneck and Muncie.
The staff remains young and super energetic and running all over the place and yelling orders from one side of the counter to the other opposite side. Their antics remind me of SNL episodes.
Listen- the carry out (known as “take away” in Hebrew) is big business here- the eat in section (as I’ve described previously) is small, crowded and the total absolute opposite of private and intimate... it’s basically fast food and grandparents or those working in the U.S. hours or mommies are frequent customers.
See here my most recent photos, including of the amazing green milk crate.
Bottom line- fine bagels and salad and not cheap eats.

Went for breakfast with my wife and granddaughter. It is more of a fast food environment. No table service. You need to go to the counter and order what you want. Great muffins and bagel sandwiches. They have a breakfast special which is filling and tasty. You choose your omelette, salads and dips. It comes with coffee and a fresh bagel.

When we need/want bagels, this is the one-and-only place that we go to for that. They are fresh and baked and boiled on location- many different varieties.
The service staff is young and energetic- they are very busy and running around.
There is place to eat and there are breakfast orders too with hot drinks. It's crowded and loud.
there is rarely a Hebrew speaker here- it's a haven for people for Anglo-speaking people.
Prices coul be considered high for the products, which are fresh.

6 nis for a plain baigel with no filling!
Since corona the quality has gone down, there is less variety and you are given paper plates.

Much more than bagels, great salads, friendly service and the staff all seems to speak English.
We had both breakfast and lunch there and definitely will return.

I enjoy the coffee here, hot or cold, the service is generally friendly, and I always find the food fresh and delicious. It's a very popular place so best to know the "off" times so you can find a seat. Indoor seating only. It's counter service. In my experience, they are pretty good about cleaning off the tables as customers leave.

I recently placed an order from the USA on behalf of a friend who had recently moved to RBS. Rena Ennis, account and office manager, made sure that my order was handled properly and helped me select items that were available in-season and would be within the allergy-sensitive requirements. My friend said the food was ready on time and was absolutely delicious!

Your #1 neighborhood stop for a bagel with schmear, close to home (if you live in Ramat Beit Shemesh, like I do). A dependable brunch spot, a nice place to grab a coffee and a chat, with delicious bagels. The acoustics aren't the greatest, but hopefully the selection of bagels and muffins bigger than your head will make up for it.

As already stated and known, this is an exclusive English speaking and predominantly American specialty place for bagels and spreads. I've never seen anyone else there (although I know one who tried and wondered where she had landed).
It seems that it's quite popular and always busy- there are always active loud vibrant groups of young American mothers or younger American religious studies girls, or even American junior high school boys, and of course sometimes the high tech entrepreneurs who work from home in Israel.
As stated, since it's always busy, the staff is always frantically rushing to fill orders at the counter. They are young and energetic and enthusiastic and try their very best to handle the sometimes unruly line and serve the clients as quickly as possible. It's a regular occurrence for workers to be yelling over each other to clients at the other end of the counter.
The food is OK, but expensive for what one gets. The pastries look exceptionally fresh good large and tasty, but that's the most that I can say about that.
Cleanliness was an issue. From the moment we walked in until we ordered, got our prepared stuff and ate it and left, there were tables littered with the refuse of previous customers. And despite the overworked harried staff running from one place to the other, the dirtied littered tables were off their radar. That is until some new customers arrived, found no clean table and removed the refuse themselves. The table that we chose had many crumbs on it, but I found the sink and paper towels to clean it so that we could eat there.

If you want the best bagels in Israel, this is the place to go! We love their sandwiches as well as their salads and hot dishes. Their pancakes are huge and yummy. They also have home made muffins and cookies.It is clean and the service is with a smile. I recommend this place highly.
It is sometimes hard to get a table, but if you wait a bit one always becomes available.

The food is very good but a little expensive.
Good and quick service.
The place gets a little overcrowded at times , probably better to get your meal to go.

Food is incredibly overpriced even by israel standards. You are paying airport prices.
Bagels are good. tuna is OK. Pastas are awful.
Company used them for catering. Food was inedible.
Decent place to pick up bagels. Never use them for catering. Don't take kids or family there as food is insanely expensive.
