This was the only sit-down restaurant on the side of Laguardia I was on. At first I saw the menu and walked by because it seemed too expensive. When you get to the end of the terminal you quickly realize that Six Blocks is your only option. It took a few minutes for the servers to approach us, which was the first sign that this would be a poor dining experience. I ordered a chicken sandwich, which started off decent until one of the larger pieces I bit into was uncooked. I ate around it since I was hungry and knew the in-flight peanuts wouldn't tickle my fancy. In the end, I would recommend eating beforehand because you will be highly disappointed when you leave. I gave this place a second star only because you have no options when at this terminal, so in a way it is 'convenient'.
I think after this visit I will just give up at finding anything edible in terminal B at LGA. I was hopeful that this place would be better than others I have tried previously. On the outside it looks like it would offer better food than the fast food vendors. So wrong.
My first clue should have been when I heard a worker at the bar tell the girl next to me that everything was pre-made so she could not alter her order. I still gave it a go though. I order a turkey quiche and an orange juice. The quiche was not a quiche at all. It was a spongy mystery with big chunks of turkey in it. I ended up leaving more than half of it. It had a mixed green salad on top with a balsamic vinaigrette which was its only saving grace. Orange juice was lukewarm and pulpy.
The staff is flat out rude. When you walk in it is unclear if you should find a seat and someone will come to you or you should order at the counter. No one gives you any direction either. When the same girl asked if she could order after we both had been standing there for about five minutes without being acknowledged, the man behind the bar told her he could only if she wanted to sit at the bar. If not, she should sit at a table and someone would come to her. Nice information to know at the beginning. I sat at a table, my "waitress" came by to take my order and that was it. Didn't see her again.
Even more frustrating is that an 8 oz glass of orange juice is $5! WTF? So in all my less than mediocre food and drink was over $16 and then I had to leave a tip. Not worth the money, the time or the frustration.
The food options at Laguardia seem to be just terrible. But this place has several things going for it.
1) Only place in Terminal B to get an alcoholic drink. 2) Only place in Terminal B to watch sports/TV. 3) Only place in Terminal B to sit down while eating.
It is not very clean, but the servers have a modicum of friendliness, the food is edible, and there are some outlets on the back wall you can use to plug in and charge your devices.
It's really bright inside, which falls in line with the "bakery" in its name, but the full bar tells a different story.
Price-wise, it seemed pretty normal for New York and airports, which means high compared to everywhere else. A Jack-and-coke was $12, a rum-and-coke was $11.
This place was very, disturbingly overpriced. I paid $14 for a sandwich and tap water. The prices are not posted so it might be helpful to ask prior to ordering if you are on a budget. Service was good. The place was cozy as it occupies a small amount of space and travelers have their bags next to them. The food was decent but nothing that I would crave.
