Auburn Bagel Co. made its debut in downtown Auburn in 2025, introducing New York City-style bagels to the area with a wide array of fresh handmade bagels that include flavors like poppy, sesame, whole wheat, pumpernickel and more. Owner Tony Daddabbo, an Auburn native, honed his bagel-making skills in New York City at the popular "Columbia Bagel" just a few blocks from Columbia University. Daddabbo said the key to making an authentic New York City-style bagel is to keep it simple and fresh, using five simple ingredients: Water, yeast barley malt, syrup, salt and flour. Wife and I recently stopped into Auburn Bagel company to grab a quick bite before running some chores. It was around 1030AM on a Sunday, and there were already plenty of customers dining or ordering. We looked at the menu and my wife decided on a Bagel Weck sandwich on pumpernickel - roast beef, creamy horseradish and a side of aus jus for dipping, while I chose a chicken parm sandwich on a garlic bagel. The line to order moved quickly, employees were friendly, and our food was made relatively quickly, and we enjoyed our food - my only complaint was my bagel was a bit too toasted and crispy for my liking, but that's all preference and there was nothing wrong with the sandwich itself. We did think it was a tad pricey (over $12 for each for a bagel sandwich), but they were a decent size and were filling. We'd definitely return. read more

Another great breakfast! Everyone was friendly, ordering is simple at the register....then just wait for your name to be called. I had the bagel of the week - Quattro Formaggio ( 4 cheeses)... with bacon, egg and fried egg it was a very tasty sandwich. (My only disappointment was the very small amount of thin bacon and it was all on one side as you can see in the picture). I love that you can order the egg scrambled or fried. Excellent bagel, delivered warm and quite quickly considering how busy they were. read more

Amazing NYC-style bagels with great schmears and lox! Friendly staff, great vibe and friendly hang. Local art on the walls and a lot of other amazing sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. Recommend read more

Passing through town, wanted a little something for the early morning- stumbled into here. So glad we did. Got to watch them boiling the bagels in water, and transferring them into the oven. They were some of the best bagels ever! Staff was very welcoming- and when I shared it was our first visit, they took time to welcome us and tell us about their treats. The place was busy, but lovely and quiet and relaxing. The only thing I would suggest, if your first visit take the time to look at signs hanging around the place, not just the menu on the wall or the paper one available on the counter. After I was seated and enjoying my wonderful treat I saw a sign for a Jalapeño bagel, and a vegetarian bagel sandwich. Darn sad I missed this read more

This is my go to place for breakfast and lunch when I'm in Auburn. Perfect bagels and their sandwiches are inventive and generous.

I wish I could give more than five stars. First, they offered a few gluten free options, which is pretty rare these days when it comes to bagels. The homemade cream cheese was insanely good and they didn't skimp out on the spread. It smells heavenly as they make the homemade bagels. While we were there they managed a large crowd very well. Can't wait to go back! read more

The bagels are fantastic and the veggie cream cheese is so good. The prices are just as good as the food

The bagels are great... as well as the sando's and cream cheeses. The area where they fall completely short is the work flow design... in an attempt to make it "more personal" you give your order to a human who writes it on a pad and then tells you to meet them down at the pos??? This is counter intuitive and stupidly inefficient. It eliminates the remote printing or displaying of the order on a ticket or KDS (kitchen display system) it make you tell them your order twice... it creates two bottlenecks. It's totally old school trying to be half new effort school... it's uncomfortable for all new customers and hard to produce the items off of hand written in accountable tickets. It's pretty unnecessary. read more

My bagel prayers have been answered! As a former NYC Yelp elite and bagel aficionado, it only took a few steps into the store to be brought back to my NYC bagel shop days of yore. Down to the cream cheese dishes, it felt like I was in NYC. The bagels have the perfect crust with a nice chew! Great selection of bagels and a few cream cheese options. Not as generous as NYC with the cream cheese amount, but I'm a butter gal when it comes to sesame bagels anyway! Definitely check them out! read more

As someone who grew up on Long Island and worked in NYC for 30 years, this is the most "New York" bagel I have had since moving to the Finger Lakes. Staff was nice, service was prompt! read more

The bagels were delicious, great service. I like the color of paint they chose for the walls. Cozy.

Good bagels for a fair price! Within walking distance of the hotel and open early enough if you're starting before 7am.

After seeing the news story with Brandon Roth about the bagels here at the Auburn Bagel Co we made the trip to Auburn for some NY bagels. Got to meet the owner and he explained the whole process and what goes into making a bagel just like we were back in the city or island. I you want a real bagel that tastes like a bagel should get over to Auburn Bagel Co. We took home a half dozen and now that they're gone we are planning our next trip to Auburn soon! Hopefully he will have Whitefish salad on our next visit. read more

Bagels are basically perfect, as is the cream cheese. Havent had other sandwiches because I refuse to skip on the perfection that is the bagel with cream cheese. Buy 1 with cream cheese and 1 plain. They give a lot of cream cheese. Enough for 2 novels. Great staff also. I always direct people to go there. read more

Great bagels! Excellent service! Nice clean modern environment. I love a good lox and cream cheese on a salt bagel (only salt bagel in town) with red onion, capers, and tomatoes. read more

Awesome bagels, fast service. Veggie and scallion cream cheese was excellent as well. Would have loved garlic cream cheese :)

What made this place shine was the service. The staff and, I am assuming owner, were amazing. The bagels were so good and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing. Will be one of the first places I go to whenever I am in town so make sure you go by there often so it is there when I am in town!!! read more

Was in town visiting from the city and I can say that this place stands up to any of the places down there. The blistered, crunchy outside with the soft, slightly chewy inside is exactly what one should expect with a NYC bagel. read more

I've had bagels for MANY different places!! I can with all honesty and sincerity say I have never had a better bagel than Auburn Bagel Company!! All their cream cheeses are exceptional but if you are open to a unique flavor, I highly suggest Lox with scallion cream cheese toasted on a plain, salted,...... well pretty much ANY BAGEL they serve!!!! My wallet hates them but my stomach loves A.B.C.!! read more
