Big Apple Bagels

Now closed but Good bagels at the West Main Store. This store only, other store on West side of Kalamazoo open.

The morning manager here is so super friendly. She really works to make people feel welcome by learning their names and their usual orders.
I don’t eat gluten, so it’s a special kind of torture for me to sit here while my boys have breakfast, but at least the coffee is awesome!
They recently redid the interior and added Sweet Duet, a serve yourself frozen yogurt place. My kids said it tasted really great!
The only downside here is that the parking lot is awful– full of potholes!

I love this place. They have great bagels and a ton of different varieties of cream cheese. My personal favorite is a garlic bagel toasted with jalapeño cheddar cream cheese. It is wonderful. They also have a coffee punch card, so make sure to get one when you come in here. The coffee is always fresh, and they have 4 – 6 coffee flavors at any one time.
I would really like to see this place succeed. They recently added in frozen yogurt machines and are serving frozen yogurt in the afternoons. However, on most mornings that I have been here, I am the only person in the shop. I truly hope that the business is thriving more than I have observed.
The service is incredibly friendly. On one occasion that I received the wrong bagel, the manager was super quick about offering me a free replacement bagel on my next visit. They really do bend over backwards for their customers.

Good lunch sandwiches. Good specials on bagels. Great entertainment on Fridays (David Lloyd Greeley)

It’s a bagel place, there’s not much more to say. I’ve found the bagels and sandwiches to be quite tasty but all of the coffee drinks I’ve tried are less than stellar. Maybe I’m missing something, but it doesn’t seem to have a leg up on other bagel shops.

Wednesday take a friend to breakfast! Buy a breakfast bagel sandwich and a beverage and you get another sandwich for free!
My kids adore the minimuffins (as did the global reading challenge team and the scouts)

Great lunch and coffee and the Friday entertainment is fun.
