This place is awesome! The girls here are very inviting and friendly! I made an order and then could not get in for an hour to pick it up because of work, they kindly offered to remake make my order hot and fresh! It was 100% my fault but they went above and beyond to make my experience amazing! read more

Bagels were delicious!! The line was long, but they have a good system to make it go quickly!

We have had breakfast here 4/7 days while on vacation- its that good! Their bacon egg and cheese on a bagel is amazing. Im not a huge fan of those and i couldnt stop eating them! We also got some baked goods - cookie and brownie and they were amazing as well. High recommend!! read more

their bagels are really good but their system once ordered is horrible. I waited for 30 minutes for my bagel that I ended up not even getting! I was told repeatedly that it was coming or on the grill and it would be right out but still would not come. People who ordered AFTER me we're getting their bagels. I know they're busy but it was absolutely ridiculous read more

Local bagel shop with a pleasant friendly vibe. Bagel sandwiches are amazing! A must for any visitor.

This place is just such an amazing find. The bagels and cream cheese options are great and I highly recommend the flagel bagel.

I absolutely Love A bagel & . They are from NY and really know how to make fabulous NY style bagels. Of course most of us toast our bagels here on the Eastern Shore but this is the kind of NY bagel that is perfect without doing a single thing to it.... My favorites are the everything bagel with chicken salad and tomato. Their chicken salad is amazing.... And I love their nova cream cheese (salmon pieces in the cream cheese) on anything, it's so good I could eat it without a bagel. I ordered their breakfast quiche this morning and it was out of this world. Everything is homemade and their eclairs, cookies and sweets are just divine. So lucky to have this wonderful little gem in my community, if you want a really great bagel check them out! read more

So very good! My boyfriend and I tried them for the first time yesterday. We both got breakfast sandwiches on a bagel. He got bacon egg and cheese and I got sausage egg and cheese. The cheese was melted perfectly and the bagel was fresh and good. I have zero complaints about our breakfast. We also took home a cinnamon bun for dessert. It was huge! My only complaint there is that it had a lot of cinnamon, almost overpowering. But overall, the food was pretty good! We would recommend and definitely come back to try other options! read more

Very good place to go for a yummy breakfast. Have so many different choices that are all pretty good. Sometimes my bagel isn't toasted a lot but it is still very good. If you go and are a crab fan, get the crab cream cheese. A bit on the pricey side but I still highly recommend. read more

The bagels were soft and delicious. I love that they use real eggs and bacon instead of the microwaved stuff. The coffee was pretty good, happy they had a gallon of coffee instead of having to order a bunch of small coffees to go. read more

I soooo wish we had a deli like this in our home town. Terrific bagels and coffee make for the perfect stop on the way home from the beach. Yum!!!!! read more

A Bagel & - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocean Pines, Maryland

So far, sooo good. As far as a breakfast place around The Pines, this definitely takes #1 in my opinion. I usually ask for the Asiago bagel, with egg, cheese, and sausage patty. Always excellent. Ordering is easy, as long as you can recall the lunch line system. I think the everything bagels are a little too salty. The quaint, stylized chairs & tables, along with many things to observe & read are alwsys welcoming. The outdoor seating is nice & cozy. Always great service. 4.5 read more

A Bagel & - Asiago, egg, cheese, & sausage sammich. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocean Pines, Maryland

Ignore the snarky folks here. The bagels are the best you'll find, certainly in the OC area. The bagel sandwiches are excellent, nice variety of pastries, meats, bagel flavors, etc. Friendly as the day is long. Coffee and organization could be better but you won't be disappointed by the food. If you're looking for a place to read your mind as to toast darkness level, the other poster is right - they don't do that. read more

If you see a line out the door save your time and money so you don't have to be disappointed by the time it takes to actually get ur food. Be careful where you stand so they don't completely skip getting your order and ask you to move without helping you. Bagels are mid. Coffee is mid. Service was not great. Your wallet will thank you if you skip this one. read more

Worth adding that this is one of my wife's and my favorite places to just hang out when we're outside the house. The staff are very friendly and helpful (granted I've mentioned this before) and even the patrons tend to be the nicer kind of Eastern Shore folk. And I'm addicted to the Egg Everything bagel with Sausage and Egg (#6 with an Egg Everything). Oh, and they read Yelp. ;-) They've gotten more efficient behind the counter. Tell them I sent you so that they can blame me. read more

I've been here multiple times, and I've tried many bagels. The bagel itself is wonderful! But the staff can not seem to understand the term TOASTED. Every single time I've ordered I've asked for a bagel toasted with cream cheese. Every time I receive a bagel with cream cheese. I'm not into cold bagels. So this place gets a three star review. I actually hate the bagels I get every time as a result of them being cold/ NOT toasted. The only thing that saves this place is the boars head deli meats, and Nantucket nectars. Quick snippet from my boyfriend. "They give you enough cream cheese on one bagel to cover a dozen!" Although I'd rather have too much than not enough! read more

Visiting family in the Pines...this is their bagel place and will be ours too whenever we come. First, the variety of bagels is terrific. We usually get too many; we can't decide! Some we brought back plain and added whatever we wanted. A few "egg&cheese" on a bagel were delicious, with generous portion of cheese. Then there are some lovely and tasty pastries as well. Definitely recommend. read more

After a 15 mile run my girlfriend and I stopped in and hoped to grab a good breakfast sandwich. We each had bacon, egg and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel and it was great. The eggs were nice and fluffy, cheese was melted and the bacon was crispy and not "gummy". There was about a 5 min line but if I go back to ocmd that will be the breakfast spot we hit! Plenty of seating and parking. read more

Good bagels. Bad coffee. Lox are very salty, try the Nova for something more creamy. If they could serve a good cup of coffee I would rate it a five. read more

Here's one place I officially discovered thanks to Yelp! I am from upstate NY, and I can personally attest to the fact that their bagels are very close to what you're going to find up there (hey, I've been NY bagel-deprived for years, so if you don't agree with me, well, I guess I can respect that.) Many cream cheeses to choose from, too! We prefer whole grains, and they did have a couple of choices in bagels that seemed acceptable (although I never ask what exactly is in the "multigrain" or "wheat" whatever, because I know darned well there's got to be some white flour in there, and I don't want to be disappointed). Unfortunately, the next time I go, I will have to be blindfolded and have something to plug my nose. All their baked goods *look* and *smell* so incredibly good. My fiance and I try very hard not to eat too many sweet things, but we couldn't resist... We bought some blueberry muffins, and OH MY GOD.... The shop is super cute and you're served with a smile. Oh, and be sure to check out some photos they have of the gigantic bagels they make for catering. Impressive! read more

lets get serious... It is hard to get a decent bagel on the Shore, That joint in town "Bagels in Buns" is hit or miss & FILTHY(being nice). "A Bagel" in the Pines, hooks a bagel up as good as you are gonna get it down here. The Bagel is consistent and tasty, they have flavored Schmear, if that is your thing & lots of bagels each day. i.e They don't run out early, like lame ass Bagel and Buns (I like to sleep in). Note: The coffee is some of the worst I have ever had, get your Bagels to go, and head for your favorite coffee spot, you will not be disappointed. read more

I hesitate giving this mom-n-pop place such a low rating... but I just couldn't do higher. I guess I should know coming into a town without much bagel choices that one can expect anything...and to have low expectations. Bagels and lox were ordered--first of all, bagels that are truly good bagels baked fresh shouldn't need to be toasted. Sorry, snob part one. Secondly, there were so many salt bites from the everything bagel, the entire bagel was just super salty. Lastly, lox weren't awesome...they seemed to disintegrate and were nothing like bagels I've had in more legit lox spots. There were tiny pieces and the sandwiches were $10 per piece. In Manhattan or Brooklyn, I could get the same bagel for the same price (if not cheaper?!) and they would have been more delicious. Left disappointed and $20 out of pocket. Shoulda just eaten an eclair. Shoulda known better. read more

My parents own a house 1.5 miles from here, and we love to walk there and get breakfast in the morning. Honestly I don't know of a place i've ever been which makes a better bagel sandwich than at A Bagel & . The line is at times stressful because it seems to move in a disorderly way, but the food is wonderful. They serve New England coffee, do iced coffee, and serve Boars Head (one of the best) deli meats for lunch sammys. PROS: food, location, staff friendliness CONS: efficiency read more

Food and Bagels are great. Reason for low review: asked for an iced-coffee and got brown water with ice. Politely asked for another and got same thing. Maybe the girl who made it didn't know what she was doing. When I talked to manager it was apparent she didn't know either. It became apparent that no one working there had a clue how to make an iced coffee. When you make iced coffee you have to make a stronger pot of coffee (increase the strength) to compensate for the ice (water), simple. What put me off was their reaction that I was some unreasonable demanding coffee snob. It was a really hot summer day I just wanted an iced coffee. If you're going to run businesses at least know how to make everything on the menu. read more

Excellent bagels! So yummy and the seasonal cream cheeses are so delicious. The.bacon, egg, and cheese bagels are super good too! Great baked goods! Just yummy! read more

Good bagels Serves was great. Been there a few times and had excellent bagels and cream cheese however occasionally they overcharge you. I've had the same thing there three times and was charged different every time. They don't give a copy of the receipt so you may want to ask for one. read more

Horrible experience. Measures to protect against covid are horrible. Employees are worried about customers wearing their masks but aren't doing the same. Cram people in with zero regard for social distancing. Super disorganized. If you want to wait a half hour for a bagel with cream cheese while being berated by rude staff and being crammed next to complete strangers, then this is the place for you. read more

Small little place. Serving up bagels, pastries and sandwiches. Picked up 1/2 dozen bagels....sizing varied, quality was mediocre, some were really fresh while others seem dry/old, and most not that flavorful. Won't go again. Uber bagel and Schmagels are way better!! read more

With any Biz, the service it what makes or breaks it for the customer. Here, before the door closes behind me it is all one big welcome sign. You can't beat that, well with maybe the food. It's great, we mainly get a variety of bagels, but often I get a large order of breakfast sandwiches for our crew. Different ones but all with cheese. Don't know what it is about the cheese they use, but it makes an awful, delicious mess of a sandwich. Tuck your tie, where a bib, lean farther forward or eat elsewhere. My family and friends from the big cities that seem to have great bagel shops everywhere ask me to have these waiting when they come. The only problem is the whitefish salad, They usually run out before I remember to get it. read more

This place is awesome! I look forward to visiting every year during our annual golf trip. One of the best breakfast sandwiches on the planet is their Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a toasted Everything bagel. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. They've got the most authentic NY style bagels you will find outside of NYC. Plus, the owner and her sister are super nice people. If you are in the area, or anywhere nearby it's a MUST-VISIT! read more

Very cute, quaint bagel shop, and busy, but moves fast. The blueberry popover was amazing, definitely worth trying the other favors and pastries. The fried egg sandwich was really delicious and made to order. I would definitely come here again even though I was just passing through. read more

A Bagel & - Front counter for ordering ... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocean Pines, Maryland

I favorite breakfast place besides Fractured Prune donut shop is Bagel and.. They have real Lox not just Nova! I always buy more than I need to take home. I recommend having them slice the Bagel's and freezing them right away. They have no preservatives and will not be as good for the next day. Then place in toaster frozen. They come out perfectly done. Also all the backed goods are top notch. The croissant filled with chocolate is my personal favorite my husband always gets the Eclair. read more

Bagels are delicious but the real treats are the homemade baked goods. Made the mistake of offering my kids cheese danishes one day and now they ask for them every time we drive past on our way back from the beach. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Great hidden gem in Ocean Pines. A simple yet very relaxing place to have a small breakfast before going about your day. Definitely give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. read more

I came here on a Saturday and the line was all the way to the door. They had a few lady's taking orders while you waited in line and a very nice lady that works at the cash register. She was very sweet and made small talk. I always get the Ham, Egg and Cheese on a plain bagel and my boyfriend got the crab cream cheese on a plain bagel. The crab cream cheese bagel had too much cream cheese and barely any crab meat, it was hard to taste it and they added cheddar cheese shreds in it as well which made it taste a little odd, I wont get that one again but everything is pretty tasty just a little pricey for 2 bagels, 1 energy drink and 1 apple juice it was $18.Everyone is friendly and the food is good, it's just a little pricey for take out breakfast for 2 people. read more

Stopped today. Great sandwiches, fantastic employees. Worth checking out. This place is extremely busy for a reason. read more

Very, very good bagels. So many different cream cheese options as well, I try a new one every time. The coffee is pretty sub-par, but the fresh bagels and friendly staff make up for it. And by the way, they do have WiFi, contrary to what the business information says. read more

My "other half" and I are hooked on these bagels--especially the onion ones. Great! As others have said, they also have delicious pasteries and Boarshead meats. We buy bagels by the bag and freeze them if we can't get there every day. Unfortunately, I have just been diagnosed with celiac, so I will be going gluten free---I'll ask if they have/will have any gluten free...even just onion ones, lol??? read more

A good little NY style deli to get a good ole bacon egg and cheese on a NY style bagel (I'm a NYker so I'd know). The less than 5 star is cause each time I go the coffee machine is not working ... and the regular coffee is kind of weak. The outside seating in addition to the inside are nice touches. read more

Food is decent the service is just incredibly slow. It was Labor Day so or was expected and they were busy as we could see. The only problem was I got my food right away and my boyfriend literally had to wait 20 min. People that had been behind us were getting their food before he was so he said something and the lady behind the counter rudely told him they were busy. Obviously..... read more
