Creative bagel-centric deli near Union Station with fun diner vibes; great sandwiches and spreads, but expect busy lines and occasionally slow or inconsistent execution.
Buffalo & Bergen delivers solid food quality with standout bagel sandwiches and creative deli options that justify repeat visits, but variable bagel execution and long waits prevent a higher grade. The retro diner charm and convenient Union Station location appeal to neighborhood regulars and travelers, though the small counter-service format and peak-hour delays limit broader appeal. Worth visiting for the gravlax bagel and friendly vibe, especially during off-peak hours.
One caveat: Peak-hour waits can exceed 30 minutes for simple bagels
