CBA is so good that I can't believe it exists. Good bagels are hard to find, let alone good bagel sandwiches. CBA has both, and they have a comfy dining area.

Steamed bagel sandwiches, food is always pretty good, the service is always great but it takes a little longer to get a sandwich because they are steamed.

This place had good reviews in terms of stars but if you read the comments, many people are right, there is no ordering and no number system, you have to order directly to the cooks and you have to know who was there first if you have the same order as someone else! It takes a while to prepare your order and the taste is alright, I have had better. They also did not have decaf coffee but they had some herbal and normal hot tea. It’s also a bit pricey in my opinion. Would I go back? Probably not!

I was itching for a good bagel when I found this place. Loved the everything bagel I got. Only complaint was it had a bit too much cream cheese for my taste. Still a happy customer though.

Seriously good bagel sandwiches and great rice krispy treats too. Loved it so much we went twice on our trip. Coffee is great too. If you're in the area you have to stop by! Also they have some seriously tasty vegetarian options as well!

The staff was friendly, the place is hip and has a good vibe. The sandwiches have great combinations BUT they don’t toast their bagels they steam. They Strive to be different and achieved that status. The bagel is a little too chewy and dense. Please get a toaster....

The amount of menu choices were overwhelming. It was written on the giant chalkboard wall and even more choices pinned to the posts. I guess that's a good thing. My daughter is a local and took me there for breakfast. I chose something called eggasauraus and it was surprisingly good. The atmosphere was very cozy with couches as well as tables.
