Bringing up north bagels to the deep south. When you grow up in one area you get use to the cuisine of that area and you miss it when you move to another.
New York Bagels gives that taste of up north to us in JoCo North Carolina. … More

We love the bagels. Have been there many times and everyone has always been friendly except today.. Not sure if they have changed ownership or what but the older lady is very rude. She was very rude to my son-in-law on the phone. When I … More

This is a superb establishment. The staff is very nice and polite. It's very clean. The food is delicious. This was my first visit, but, it definitely won't be my last. Their pastrami is exquisite. Their strawberry cream cheese is very good. I can't wait to try more items from this place. More

I've been jonesing for a good lox bagel for many months. Finally caught this place open. It was packed! Standing room only, and we'll worth the little wait. It's like stepping into a proper New York Deli. Great menu and service. I'll be back and will recommend for certain. Delicious. More

Free parking lot in front of business. Small dining room area with a few tables and chairs. The walls don’t have much art on them compared to older photos of the business, it’s extremely modern and boring now. Plenty of bagels and desserts … More

I stopped to get fuel at the gas station and wanted to grab some breakfast. I pulled up Google maps to look at where I could park in order to go get some breakfast at Wendy’s when I just happened to see the bagel shop on the maps. So glad I … More

Just stopped in for breakfast and lunch to go. 10 stars ✨! We ordered an egg bagel and Asiago bagel and let me just say these folks understand the art of a real smear of cream cheese. No need to ask for extra CC. So perfect 👌🏽👌🏽. Hazelnut … More

Had the most incredible garlic bagel with lox, tomato and onion this morning. The bagel was the perfect combination of chewy inside with a crisp exterior, and they didn't skimp on the toppings - generous portions of silky lox, fresh tomato … More

Food was good, tasty and for $10 it’s much better than fast food trash. Customer service is very transactional, no personality or warmth to the customer. Inside lacks any character and coffee station wasn’t very clean. More

Let me start off by saying, if you were a Big Steve’s customer, these do not even come close to the quality of bagels he served. The bagels are about half the size and don’t have any flavor. Even my everything bagel was bland. Food is good, … More
