Naval Bagels

Very busy and a little chaotic but just across the street from the Navy-​Marine Corps Memorial football stadium. Lots of folks waiting for their orders so don’t mistake that for the line. Order your bagels at the counter and they will give you a playing card to identify your order. Coffee and hot chocolate are self serve and you just tell the cashier when you pick up your order. Overall bagels were good. The locks came with very heavy cream cheese. Seating is fairly limited but there are also tables outside. For a quick basic coffee and bagel this is a good choice.

I’ve been a loyal customer for years. Good sandwiches. Nice variety of bagels. I like their expansion. Staff is friendly for the most part. Though the last year the bagels seemed to be on the «hard» and «chewy» side. Just not as fresh as they used to be.

Seriously bad. Like really bad. My toasted bagels were barely warm. My salt bagel had so little salt I Thought they got my order wrong. Olive cream cheese had flecks of olive, I assume, but no flavor. The country boy (sausage egg and cheese) didn’t have enough egg or sausage to even bother. Dog enjoyed it, but I didn’t. Never again.

Best nut bar ever. It reminds me of a humble baklava. The restaurant also serves bagel sandwiches. I had the tuna salad and was thankful the I split that with my wife. Portions are large. A must visit when you are in Annapolis.

Best bagels in annapolis. This use to be just a carry out operation, but they took over the store space next door and now they have large area where you get sit and enjoy your bagels. I have found all the staff to be very friendly college kids, not like what some of the other reviewers have posted. And for lunch you can have a dr browns cream soda and a good bagel sandwich. What else do you need???

The untrained staff, the scowling manager, and the prep person in back who drenches your bagels in butter make this my last choice for bagels in Annapolis. I’m top of that they didn’t know what an Americano was.
Update: I’ve tried again here several times over the last year and it’s consistently bad.

I am from Annapolis and I go here often… Bagels are pretty good … maybe I should just buy loose bagels and cream cheese because I can watch them and know if the order is correct.
I have saved writing this review but the process and quality control of a simple sandwich on a simple order is way off par with great regularity,
Confusing which bagel is to be toasted on which sandwich (happens often trust me) is a process issue.
Sometimes I have to take off cream cheese as there is SO much on there, other times… I am looking for more. same with lox on a bagel, sometimes overloaded sometimes thin… (Hello food cost?!?)
Point being rarely is a order replicated here and if it comes as I ordered… BONUS!
Come for a pretty good bagel, which might be prepared how you ordered
Plus side it is convenient
but remember kids .
YOU GET WHAT YOU GET AND YOU DON’T GET UPSET

Delicious! Something for everyone in the family: has Cinnamon-​Raisin Bagels with cream cheese (my kids love these), the Southerner for me (bacon, egg & cheese on plain toasted), and THE Naval Bagel (lox, onions, cream cheese, green onion) for my wife.

On a recommendation from a co-​worker who is an avid customer here; I decided to give them a try. I ordered the lox and bagel on a whole wheat honey bagel. It was well balanced and there wasn’t too much of one thing that acted as a distracter from the flavor each item offers.
The clerk was very cheerful and accommodating since this was my first visit. Upon entry I saw that there is a stand where you can pick up call in orders and other goodies on the cart next to it.
I really enjoyed the ambiance and the board at the back of the store where they put up quotes, birthdays of stars, weather and other tidbits to peruse as you nosh on your purchases. There is a cooler with an assortment of cold beverages & of course they offer coffee and tea.
The one fun thing is that they’ll give you a playing card instead of a number for your order. You listen for your card to be called and pay at the register. If you like you can sign up for their email club for their promotions and news about Naval Bagels.
A cheerful experience and I’ll be back & if I’m feeling nice I’ll buy for the office. I actually called but no one picked up so I still get a gold star for the effort: O)

What a pleasant surprise! They have a great bagel selection and breakfast sandwich choices. I got the McNosh on an egg bagel and it was AMAZING! I meant to take a picture but I ate it too fast. It came out fast and was also decently priced. I will definitely be back.

This place is great. Just moved here from Pittsburgh and had my first bagel a month ago or so. Good quality and mom and pop type atmosphere. I’ll be coming back.

I found Naval bagels while looking specifically for a good place to enjoy a breakfast sandwich and cup of coffee. I was less than impressed.
The atmosphere is very enjoyable. The service and the food I found sub-​par. Both components of my order came out wrong, forcing me to send it back and wait longer. The bacon egg and cheese that I ordered (after they send it out the 2^nd time) was less than mediocre. Eggs taste powdered. There was little/​no bacon on the sandwich. I couldn’t taste any bacon at all frankly.
I left less than satisfied. But the restaurant did seem very clean.

Always a good choice. My favorite is the classic Naval Bagel with cream cheese, lox, tomato, red onions, and capers. They don’t skimp on toppings. A little pricy but being a small, local business isn’t easy! Worth the price always :) they recently expanded and added a huge seating area and a bigger ordering counter. Looks great guys.

I love this place! This has become a breakfast staple for me when I’m in Annapolis on weekends. The service is quick, the bagels are fresh, the vibe is casual and homey and price is low. It’s not the most walk-​friendly location, but it’s a short drive from downtown.
The system of giving out playing cards instead of writing down names for the queue is genius.

Having recently started spending 2 – 3 nights a week in Annapolis (thank you, OKCupid!), I’ve had to find options in the area for a quick breakfast I can take on the ride back to Baltimore.
My boyfriend introduced me to Naval Bagels, a requisite hang-​out for nearby students and locals, and I’ve consistently had great service and tasty food.
In addition to the tasty bagel sandwiches, they have a good variety of salads and sweets, and a bin way marked down day-​old bagels.
My go-​to: Toasted Northerner on a croissant (sub: cheddar cheese)
My bf’s go-​to: Toasted Annapolitan on a super egg bagel (sub: provolone cheese)
Highlight: The playing card ordering system
Lowlight: Wait time on the weekends can get a bit lengthy (~20 min.)

There aren’t many places you can find in the mid-​Atlantic that makes their own bagels. Naval Bagels is one of these places, and their bagels are fantastic. Everytime I’m in the city I stop in to have some and freeze them. They are chewy, flavored perfectly, and basically just what you need in a bagel. The last time I was in here it was 8 AM on a Sunday. It was insane how many people were there at this hour! People love their bagels and love getting a head start on the day! You can even buy day old bagels to take home. Highly recommended!

Service was fantastic. A plethora of options. I love bagel sandwiches and they are masters of the craft. I got the northerner, which is bacon, egg, cheese, as well as onion and green pepper. It was delicious. They also have a robust lunch menu with more than just bagels.

In all the years I have lived here, this was the first time I have ever stopped in! I’m sad I didn’t stop by sooner. At least during mid-​day there was a slight wait. They’re super busy (obviously someone thinks they are good!) so I had to wait about 10 – 15 min for my order to be ready but I think it was well worth it. Next time I might phone the order in and then come in and pick it up.
I opted for the McNosh Breakfast Bagel Sand which. Not bad for $ 4. The sandwiches are pretty big so if you have a small stomach you might want to cut in half and save the other half for later.
If you are in West Annapolis and craving carbs big time… I totally recommend stopping in this place for a bagel. It’s close to the Rowe Blvd Exit on RT 50 so its an easy jump back onto the highway to go to work.

They’re expanding!!! Get excited! I love that this place is close enough to my work that I can walk there but far enough that I don’t want to go every day — I do love their egg salad sandwich on Fridays… they are just a delicious treat.
I can’t wait until they are larger and have a deli counter where I can purchase the egg salad and bring it back to the office and make a salad with it — yum!

Not so good. I’d rather have some Lender’s Bagels.
I had the «Northerner» which was made up of eggs, bacon, green peppers, onions, and American cheese. The eggs taste like powdered eggs and the bacon, green peppers, and onions were limp and soggy. Imagine cooking the ingredients halfway in low heat and then finishing them with egg whites on low heat. That’s what it tasted like.
