Bloomington Bagel Company

I love BBC! I’m surprised the locations are all rated highly except for this one.
In some ways, this location is even better than the two downtown. If none other, than the lesser amounts of traffic! Locals can actually park their car right in front (it is located in a strip mall) and run in for a bagel. The shop only seats about 20 folks on tables meant for 2 – 4 + a small couch. There’s plenty of local art being featured and the standard BBC tables full of photos of people traveling with their bagels. Folks are always friendly here.
If you’re looking for a BBC and want simple parking, this is your spot!

Great bagels. I had an everyseed bagel with some sort of artichoke shmear. Surpassed my expectations. I’d go there daily if I was local

This review is for the College Mall Rd. location which doesn’t yet have its own Unilocal page: I’m living here for the summer and have been here twice now. On food alone, I’d give 3 stars; it’s not bad at all, but it’s not spectacular especially if you compare it to true east coast bageldom (a standout is the Breakfast Bagel sandwich… try it with Muenster cheese). Staff and atmosphere bumps it up to 4 stars. The folks working there were great and smiley. The music playing was awesomely eclectic with celtic, singer-​songwriter folk (Nick Drake, people!) and reggae. I sat and read for a couple of hours while a steady stream of customers came in and the place maintained a good vibe throughout. I’ll return frequently as long as I’m here.
