I used to think this "Cup & Saucer" joint had a great gimmick going: a potentially cozy, convenient little bagel shop that (you would expect) to be friendly. My four friends and I opened the door and entered the restaurant at 1:13 P.M. On Sunday, October 31st. As we entered the foyer, we noticed a sign that said "Wait to be seated!" with an exclamation mark at the end of it. Seconds after we walked in the door, the music in the restaurant stopped, and every single employee stopped and looked toward us. The cook near the counter immediately yelled "Son of a...!", heaved his dish rag against the wall, and stormed to the back of the room. After about 15 minutes of waiting for someone to greet us, a miserable old lady came up and said "How many?!", with a horrible attitude. We said "five please", and she just pointed to a table far in the back of the restaurant.
