  **Terrible Experience at Bialy’s Café – Disrespectful to Seniors** I recently had one of the worst dining experiences of my life at Bialy’s Café on 95th and California. After the incident, I looked up reviews and found that many others have had similar issues. It’s clear this restaurant has a troubling pattern of unprofessional behavior and mistreatment of customers. I brought my elderly mother there after a doctor’s appointment. As a senior myself, I was shocked by how we were treated. When I went to pay, I noticed I’d been charged for lemon slices in my water—something most restaurants offer for free. I politely suggested they notify customers of the charge. The waitress snapped that it was on the menu. When I clarified I was simply offering feedback, she called me “rude” to my face. Things quickly escalated. A verbal argument broke out between me, the waitress, and the cashier. At one point, the cashier threw my receipt onto my purse—completely uncalled for. When I said I wouldn’t be returning, one of them said, “We don’t need you here anyway.” They then began laughing, speaking in Spanish, and mocking me openly. I asked to speak to the manager or owner and was told he “doesn’t speak English.” I was stunned. This wasn’t just bad service—it was blatant hostility, especially toward seniors. Bialy’s falsely markets itself as “family friendly,” but based on my experience and many reviews, it’s anything but. I wish I could rate this restaurant with no stars, that’s just how bad our experience was. I’m seriously considering filing a complaint for false advertising, and I encourage others to think twice before dining here. Bialy’s Café is not welcoming, not professional, and not trustworthy. I do **not** recommend it. Who owns Bialy’s Cafe? BEWARE!

  The food is great, been coming here for over 12 years but lately the customer service has gone downhill, specially with the younger waitresses, no signage, nothing posted on their menu either, you now get charged an automatic gratuity charge when your total is above a certain dollar amount, since tip is already being charged they deliver horrible service, which is very unfortunate since this was our go to breakfast place because of the service, food and reasonable prices, but not anymore. Train your employees better and be transparent about charges for extra items, gratuity, etc.

  Called for a to go order. $26 for 1 breakfast burrito is crippling. Always call ahead and ask what the total will be see you aren’t in for any surprises!
