Big Apple Bagel

This place never lets me down. I have to drive 15 min past lox to get there, but I get a toasted pizza bagel and coffee in less time then I would be waiting in line at lox. The bagels taste better here too at a lower price

They have good breakfast sandwiches but they are not cheap it’s usually $ 20 for two people to eat and get a drink there, not a thrifty breakfast.

I have been going to BAB’s since I was in HS, this location is owned and operated by the same owner since then, and let me tell you, this place never disappoints! I am a HUGE fan of their Cheddar and Herb with plain light, and the Chocolate Chip with Chocolate Chip cream cheese. Those are a part of their regular bagel selection, but they have 6 – 7 specialty bagels, and honestly, regular or specialty, they are all amazing. Jumbo muffins: WOW. Probably an insane amount of calories so I wouldn’t recommend them on the daily, but they are so yummy for a treat (and very filling).
The physical location is nice, always clean, and depending on which day and time you go, will depend on how empty or crowded it is. But I rarely ever eat there, it’s more of a grab and go for me. Coffee is good, they usually have a lot different kinds of flavors, but I’m a Sbux girl to the core. :)
All in all, I’m a huge fan of BABs. :)

The service was quick. My BLT bagel sandwich was ready seconds after I finished pouring my coffee from the pump. The coffee setup was reminiscent of a gas station but the bagels redeem the coffee. Fresh and fast with plenty to choose from. There is also a selection of muffins I would like to try on a return journey.

I know it’s a chain but… it beat’s all other bagel chain’s. way better than brueger’s great american bagel, einstein bros, and chesapeake. THe bagels are delicious, as is the homemade cream cheese. BAB no only beats on taste but it’s so, so cheap. Finally, the Best in Show is the My Favorite Muffin brand muffins, Try the cinnamon Swirl, it’s heaven.
