Big Apple Bagels

I used to order different bagels here with strawberry cream cheese and it tasted pretty good. They slather a lot of cream cheese just the way I like it. They also toast it nicely. It takes about 10 or 15 min for them to compile everything but I wasn’t in any rush because I came there early before heading to work.

Uh yeah… not open at 630am on Sunday as indicated on Unilocal.Actually opens at 730am on Sunday. Thanks for making me drive a half hr out of my way for nothing Unilocal

Really tasty bagels. My favorite is the Breakfast BLT.
Staff isn’t very inviting and don’t give you any «how can I help you“s or «let me know when you’re ready» so wasn’t sure how to go about ordering my first time.
Service isn’t anything to write home about, but the bagels are definitely delicious. If you’re looking to grab and go, definitely a great choice, but not so much if you’re planning on sticking around.

First time. I regretted. Going to this place…. I ordered a breakfast bagel and coffee. I had to wait 15 min. I didn’t mind waiting in my mind I was thinking
super fresh. .I ask for my bagel to be toasted, my bagel was not toast was warm up in the microwave. .it was soggy. .!! Eggs not fresh. .bacon
. Lettuce no tomato I was so disappointed! !I’m not going back!

I ordered an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese. It wasn’t very busy, but I had to wait for the person to come up and take my order. My boyfriend had me pick him up a better cheddar bagel toasted, with very light butter cause «they usually just drench it in butter». I waited quite some time, about 15 minutes to get my order. I thought there was no way to really mess up a bagel… toast them, put some butter or cream cheese on and call it a day. My everything bagel is barely toasted and it has huge gobs of cream cheese on it and it’s ice cold cream cheese. Service wasn’t very friendly it is a little expensive and the food is subpar. I will not be returning.
I just chucked that bagel in the trash and I’m heading to Denica’s for a cinnamon roll!

It’s okay… Just like any other bagel. Nothing too special… Just really expensive compared to other good places.

This is the best bagel shop I’ve been to in a while!
I got the Mediterranean veggie sandwich on a garlic bagel with tomato basil cream cheese. It was extremely tasty, the ingredients went well together, and the bagel itself was perfectly toasted. My bagel sandwich came cut in half with a toothpick in each half for easy consumption (aka I didn’t spill on my laptop). They also have wifi, but you can also free-​load off the starbucks wifi next door!
Definitely coming back and bringing my co-​workers the next time I’m in the area! Shout out to the friendly owner and staff!

This was my first (and likely only visit) to
First like many people, I really enjoy bread and am a sucker for warm, toasted bread. Bagels are right up there.
In the last years or so, I cleaned up my eating and reclaimed the gym as my playground. So… eating carbs, unless I’m getting ready for a long bike ride, is something I avoid in my diet. I especially try to stay away from breads and pasta.
When I arrived, there was one person ahead of me in line. When she was done placing her order but still at the counter, the clerk expected me to voice my order over the person standing in front of me. There wasn’t a long line, I didn’t see the need to rush the person gathering her wallet. When I was able to step up, I ordered a toasted jalapeño bagel with «very light; hardly any plain cream cheese. Please easy on the cream cheese.» I repeated.
After a few minutes, a decent wait, not so short that it surprised me and not so long that I became antsy, my name was called. I didn’t open it for a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes, just long enough for me to get to work. Their definition of «toasted» was that the edges were bordering on burnt (no pun intended) and everything else about the bagel was as if they hadn’t toasted it at all. They may have only added a little cream cheese based on their standards, I understand it’s subjective, but there was a serious glob of cream cheese where there was once a hole. I’m not sure they spread it at all. I easily removed a tablespoon of cream cheese and still had sufficient left on the bagel.
I guess in cleaning up my eating I’ve become accustomed to making my own meals. I consider eating out a treat these days. It saves calories and dollars.
So, when I do splurge, I’d like the experience to be good.
My carb intake was a total let-​down.

Decent.
Like other reviews the service wasn’t particularly friendly or warm but was not rude though. Stopped by on a Sunday morning around 10:30 for a toasted everything bagel hallowed out with cream cheese. It was not very crowded but with only one employee working the cashier and one in the back, my order took about 10 minutes.
The bagel was quite flavorful with ample onion and garlic taste. I just wish their bagels were topped on both sides.
The restaurant interior is clean and well-​kept. It is located to the left of Starbucks with plenty of parking.

You know that morning when you’re really craving an awesome bagel and you want it to be right… well this place disappointed. I ordered a poppy seed bagel with onions, capers, tomatoes, and avocado. There was no avocado, they gave me the yucky core of the onion, and little to no cream cheese. How disappointing!

Even though I don’t like to give one star reviews to any of the businesses, I wish I could give this business a zero !
I stopped by here this morning to get a toasted bagel and cup of coffee. The guy at the register was so rude, no customers service skills at all, he acted as he wants to walk out of the place and never serve any of the customers again.
Few other people who were waiting for coffee told me that it will take a while for coffee to be made. They were very frustrated and were already waiting for over 10 min., but the cashier or anyone from the kitchen did not bother to help them. Out of 4 different coffee pots 3 were completely empty, just one pot of flavored coffee was there that no one wanted. And it was breakfast time!
After we reminded him, he finally went to make some but told us very impolitely that they don’t have house bland any more what all of us were waiting for (he specifically said he will make that kind) and we can only get what he is making, dark roasted (it tasted as burned coffee bean, disgusting). Few people in the line were very upset about his attitude and left from the shop before placing an order (smart move!).
Lastly, I asked about my bagel that I ordered for dine in before anyone else had placed the order and already got it. Again, this rude guy just pointed on the table and said it is sitting there for a while, but no one called my name. Bagel was called, I only ate less than half.
I ended up getting a coffee and breakfast roll from Starbucks next door. We are lucky that there are other bagel places in the area (good bagel places!!).
I will never visit this shop again !

Come here for breakfast a lot. Good place to sit outside with the dog and people watch.

Typical bagel shop… Service was sufficient but definitely not warm or friendly. Before we ordered, we we’re told they were closing early (at 11am; we were there on Labor Day) and that we could order but we’d have to sit at the tables outside (so they could close on time). I don’t personally understand the closing early decision… Either decide to be open on a holiday or don’t. The lady helping us looked like she was probably the owner and was clearly faking her way through customer service. If that’s the passion behind her ownership, I’d be surprised if they’re still in business in the next 12 months, maybe less.
That being said, our bagels and coffee we’re probably more of a 3 star but service goes hand-​in-​hand with my reviews.
I’d recommend finding a better option unless you REALLY are in the mood for a bagel.

It was ok. The bagel had a weird grainy sandy texture on the bottom. The jalapeño smear wasn’t spicy at all. The price was ok. Service was nice. Eh, it was a-​ok.

These are perhaps the most mediocre bagels I’ve ever seen from a pure bagel shop. Most were not even concentric but more like horseshoe shaped often not even a full circle. Selection was not great @ lunchtime. Cashier is friendly but a bit clueless — started bagging muffins that I had not ordered (my child was asking for them). Worthy of 1* but I will be generous as the corporate HQ returned my call promptly when my JCB card was declined.

Bagels are great but the cashier lady is pretty grouchy and unfriendly. They don’t wrap the bagels to go in plastic like they used to and they get stale in the paper bag pretty quickly.

I’m new to the area and I wanted to get some Starbucks on the way to my new place. I saw that there was a bagel place next door and seeing that I was going to be knee deep in unpacking, I needed a good Lox bagel sandwich to carry me through the morning and into an early afternoon.
What a terrible experience. First off, turn on some lights. I thought the place was closed when I pulled into the parking lot. When I walked towards Starbucks, I saw some people moving around so I walked towards the bagel shop. Upon entering, the lady behind the register didn’t look happy. So I ordered two Lox sandwiches and paid with my debit card. I looked to the right and saw that they had a punch card program. So I grabbed one card and she gave me a little attitude and said «this is for coffee». So I said «Oh ok» and put it back. I grabbed the cards up top and she said «THIS IS OUR BUSINESS CARD» in an obviously annoyed voice. (Edit: just wanted to say for the record that I know what a punch card looks like, but when I grabbed 1 out of 2 cards in the card bin and the 1^st one I grabbed was wrong, I assumed the other one was the right one). But unbeknownst to me, the stack of the food punch cards was obscured by a vertical point of purchase display card. She just pointed to it (I stepped a little to the right and only then saw it) and said «It’s this one!» So I exclaimed «Excuse me, I didn’t see it, why didn’t you just get it for me?»
My goodness, what the heck is wrong with this lady? After reading a few reviews here, I’m glad to know its not just me.
The 2 stars are for a decent lox sandwich. I was thinking they’d skimp on the cream cheese and lox, but it was enough. –1 star for price (each were about $ 9). –2 stars for the lady behind the counter and the lack of lighting.
I wonder:
a) if business would improve if the lights were turned on
b) if the lady’s mood would improve if the lights were turned on
Yes Big Apple Bagels, turn on your lights for other patrons. I’m not coming back.

sooo dark, it looks like the batcave in there.
my experience today was meh, really MEH… ordered a southern breakfast bagel, which is a sausage egg and cheese with your choice of bagel. That took forever, ok, like ten mins, but seemed like everyone behind me was getting their orders first. They really should let people know, unless it’s a bagel with cream cheese, we actually have to wait for the chicken to lay the egg first. Bagel tasted like it was from the day before and microwave eggs are awful in general.
They do get a second star bacause I do usually go get coffee from them in the morning, zero line. The Starbucks next door is usally out the door wait.

Limited, boring, and standard breakfast and lunch menu. Pretty expensive for the fare they serve. The other chain bagel sandwich places seem to have a better variety, and are reasonably priced.
The muffins and mini muffins are there for a sweet treat here and there, but oh well — there surely must exist some stand-​out places in the area. I’ll go find those.
