Bagel King

Just moved to Orlando and was looking for a bagel place. Heard about it from the neighbors so I had to give it a try! BEST BAGEL place in Orlando. It’s a whole in the wall place, right on Lakemont in the Baldwin Park area. The guy working behind the counter was über nice and patient. He even gave my niece a free cookie that was the size of her face. Definitely will be back to pickup and try their cheese spreads!

A real cute and tiny place, you can tell it’s been there for awhile.
They serve what I call «vintage» bagels! They are big, oblong, and old school! They aren’t the round cookie cutter looking über commercial bagels.
They had a larger menu than I expected with both a breakfast and lunch menu with sandwiches and salads.
The menu looked so good it took me 10 minutes to take it all in and decide!
The teenage boy working had an «I love life» attitude, which made it quite pleasant to order and be there!
I ended up ordering lox/​onion/​capers/​and cream cheese on an Asiago bagel. It was heaven!
I’ll be going there more often!

Bagel King!!! More like Bae-​gel SCREAM!!! I went for the first time, my mind was blown and many bagels were demolished. I bought a bag of day-​old bagels and a container full of that bruschetta cream cheese and WOW!!! Bagels for days! I used to swear by Brooklyn Water Bagels, but Bagel King is truly next level.

Overall good experience with this little ‘dive’ bagel shop. Bagels were very fresh and tasty. Bagels are served w/​an extremely generous portion of your favorite spread… My favorite is their Chunky Nova Lox. Be sure to get here early because they often run out of more popular bagel options like ‘plain’ and ‘everything’. Also, parking can be tricky at times. But for the things that matter like taste, service, and inside cleanliness I would give them an A+.

This was hands down, the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had! A large potato knish, stuffed with eggs, cheese and turkey sausage! I swear it weighed two pounds! And when I checked in, they gave me a free cookie that was bigger than my face!
The ladies there were really sweet, the coffee was hot and delicious and I got a wild berry bagel to-​go for later. All-​in-​all, I’d say this is one of the best breakfast experiences I’ve had in Orlando! I’ll definitely be coming back!

Good bagels. Not my favorite bagels, but for the Orlando bagel scene it is the closest thing we have to great. Good selection of bagel-​wiches.

Today was my 2^nd visit to bagel king and it won’t be my last. They have huge portion sizes and really good bagels. No frills or hipsters here, just really good bagels and friendly staff. It’s a great neighborhood spot and if you live in the area it’s worth a visit.

yummy bagels, friendly staff, and delicious menu items. skip the chain breakfast places, this place is the bomb.

Generous sized bagels in a large variety of flavors that extends to the cream cheese selections. They are generous with the shmear. Your favorite flavors will meet your expectations. I know it met mine. Have had it picked up to go after a long night of partying or before an active day. Pretty busy in the mornings. Good price for the amount and size you get. Would go here versus panera for the price and flavor.

I’ve been to a few Bagel King locations around town, but this was my first and it remains the best. The last time I went it was just before they closed and they were running low on bagel options, so get there early if you can. The coffee is also good.

I stopped by this location after a good experience at the Casselberry store once before. I got a bacon, egg and cheese on a garlic bagel. Yuck! The bacon appeared as similar quality to that of dog food or beef jerky. I simply refused to put it anywhere near my mouth. I removed it and continued eating, unsatisfied. I politely explained the situation to the man behind the counter and he offered to make me a new bagel. I asked for the same thing but with sausage. The sausage was gray and reminded me of a Krystal burger patty. Gross. I had one bite and gave up. I’m afraid I wouldn’t return to this location.

Really affordable and delicious bagels! I love the huge selection of smears. They have many options of bagels as well. I recommend the honey butter or the strawberry schmear with the chocolate chip bagel. The place is a little small but there’s always seating available.

Stunned to find a bagel this damn good in Florida.
Food was excellent and very reasonable. For my SO and I, 2 full breakfasts with coffee and a side of bacon, just over $ 20.
Can’t recommend it highly enough. Go!

In my craving for a saturday morning bagel sandwich, I decided to give the lakemont bagel king location a try. This place is small. Be prepared to stand outside if more than 2 people are attempting to order. There are 4 – 5 small tables inside, but otherwise this is a takeaway location. Service was quick/​friendly, however, several «regulars» were allowed to shout their orders from behind me and grab their food while I stood waiting to order. The food itself was just okay. Possibly from the microwaved eggs, I found my sandwich leaving something to be desired in flavor. Overall, I would only recommend this place if you need a quick bagel or do not feel like making the drive to the Casselberry location.

I like to consider myself the Carb Queen, so it is fitting that I would love Bagel King. I have been going to the smaller Winter Park location for years, but you can’t go wrong hitting up their bigger Casselberry shop either for a sit-​down meal. This location has a couple tables inside and out, but I usually just prefer to take it to go.
I like this location, since it is closer to home, and not usually too busy. However, if you go too late, you are out of luck on the bagel selection. I prefer my Andy sandwich (2 eggs which is really like a dozen eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat– I usually go with bacon, which seems like a whole pig) on an Everything bagel, but sometimes I have to settle for a Sesame. Which really isn’t the worst thing in the world, as all of their bagels are so delish and fresh. They are seasoned on both sides, so you if you decide to split one with somebody there is no fighting over who gets the seasoned side.
For lunch, a huge heaping scoop of their egg salad or chicken salad goes nicely with a bagel. I sometimes grab a tub to go, along with some extra bagels for lunch for the week. If you slice the bagels before freezing, it makes things a lot easier– I learned this the hard way!

Best bagel in Orlando. The bagels are incredibly fresh and the service is amazingly friendly. We came a little later in the morning close to noon, and because it was our first visit, they very generously gave us a few extra bagels to take home.
We live about 20 minutes away and it was still well worth the drive. Definitely will be coming back!

Stumbled across this location on a recent trip up to let my canine Fred go burn off some pent up energy at the dog park down the road. I am pretty sure this is an extension of the larger (Bagel King) location up the road a few miles.
This was a lovely find and just what my stomach was yearning for on a crisp Decembers morning.
I can only speak for the bagel and the knish. The bagel hit my tickle spot… Chewy, baked off properly, spattered with sesame seeds and stuffed with cream cheese… Yeah Man!
The knish was equally as good as the bagel, I grabbed a couple to take home and snack on later in the day. After 20 minutes in the toaster oven to crisp them up and a dab or two of good mustard, the knish stood no chance. I devoured it in one fell swoop!
Fred and I will most definitely be back and probably more often now that I found this more convent location to get my bagel and knish fix.

This place is small, but cozy. They have a tv to watch. Four tables inside, each 2 seaters. There really isn’t space to put tables together but you might be able to pull a third seat over. Outside there are a couple of 4 seaters.
I’ve only had the nova bagel at both locations. It’s shaved salmon with a bit of saltiness. This one is fully loaded with toppings and by the end I was sufficiently full.
I’m not sure why one reviewer complained about the coffee price. It’s $ 1.85 for a small and $ 1.99 for large. Plus it’s bottomless cup and very good. Other breakfast places I’ve been to can charge at least $ 2.50 and sometimes for a crappy watery tasting brew. You also get a choice of 4 brews you help yourself to. I like to mix the regular and hazelnut together.
Living in Baldwin Park, it was an easy bike ride for my wife and I here, and this morning was nice and cool for that, plus it was cozy inside the place. We were the only ones sitting though, but there was an endless number of people ordering takeout, and quirky customers to provide some entertainment.

It’s a hidden gem I drove by for months before, one morning, noticing that I had made excellent time and yes, a bagel DID sound good before work.
Of course the bagels are good and the toppings are luscious — the thing to write home about is the coffee! The brewed coffee you serve yourself out of those pump top thermos vats. I can’t believe how good it is. Usually that kind of coffee is bitter or weak. Well done Bagel King!
The people at the counter have always been very kind and efficient if not all that speedy. They like to say hello and ask about your day and that kind of thing — you know MANNERS!
If you have a few extra minutes one day or need bagels for a work brunch meeting I cannot recommend this spot any more highly!

Though I grew up in Daytona and grew used to the only kinds of bagels available in that town — the spongy, white, Wonder-​Bread-​with-​a-​hole-​in-​it type of bagels that are available from the grocer’s freezer section or Dunkin Donuts — I did spend 8 years in NJ/​NY, and in that time, grew very spoilt by the amazingly delicious, traditional bagels that were readily available on every street corner in that area.
Since moving back to FL, Winter Park to be exact, I had yet to find a bagel comparable to the kinds that one grows used to in NY. A really nice rich dough flavour, a lovely, crusty outside, and a not-​too-​dense/​not-​too-​fluffy, perfectly chewy interior. This is exactly what I found at Bagel King. I daresay that they are almost even better!
I always order the same thing: a lightly toasted everything bagel with a «schmear» of the chunky nova spread. It is always, consistently delicious; the seed/​seasoning mixture on the bagel is perfectly balanced (not too much caraway, if it is there at all), the bagel is warmed up enough so that the cream cheese with its generous chunks of smoked, salted salmon begins to soften slightly, and nothing is ever burnt or blistered or too crisp.
I usually skip their coffee because I feel it is a little pricey for the quality (sure I will pay $ 5 for a bagel, but a $ 2+ coffee, no way! Ha.) We usually go on a Sunday, so the place is always packed and bustling, but there’s usually not a very long wait for a table for two. Five minutes at most. Service is prompt and friendly. Clientele is sometimes… strange. But everyone loves great bagels… even kooky characters… so you have to figure sometimes you are just going to run into the occasional oddball there. My problem is that I am somehow a weirdo-​magnet and they always zero in on me, commence to plop down next to me and tell me their life’s story. Sorry pal, I just want to stuff a magnificent bagel down my throat — I have neither the time, inclination, nor mouth-​space to converse with you.
