Off the beaten path. This is a little bagel spot with a few tables. We ordered three omelettes and bagels and exited over 35 minutes for the food!! They don't give you butter or cream cheese unless requested. And they charge for it. It's a little run down and unfortunately not special. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was a very busy place, so clearly many folks love it! The food was good, but not great. Portion sizes were small compared to the prices, but the service was very fast and friendly. read more

Clean, food is good. They prepare it pretty fast, even when they are busy. I love getting a quick brunch there Sunday mornings. Bagels are well made. read more

Simple order of three bagels, one toasted with cream cheese that wasn't toasted at all, one with bacon that did not have bacon (although we paid for bacon). And amazingly enough took 20 minutes to get this order. I have been coming to Bagel Bin for 40 years and it is awful now, nothing like it was except for the old tables that are broken and held up with high chairs. Go elsewhere. read more

We were regulars here, but after our visit today, I doubt we'll be back. 25 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese because the cashier kept skipping over my order for no reason is ridiculous. Cashier also had the worst attitude, and it felt like she was almost intentionally avoiding my order when I was nothing but friendly at the register. I could even hear the kitchen staff saying that my order had been at the window for a while, and I kept trying to ask about my order and was ignored. What a terrible experience. read more

They have very good dense bagels here and of you're hungry the omelet platter comes with a bagel. The coffee is decent.

Wanted to love them but these were the toughest bagels I ever had. Had to discard the toughest ones-maybe not fresh?

I remember when this place was sold (a very long time ago). The first thing they did was make the bagels smaller, put less cream cheese on them and raise prices. They eliminated the bakers dozen. And when the local photographer died, they took down all of her pictures and replace them with cheesy prints (which they sell) they're not pictures of Columbia, I don't know where they're from, it's tacky. I still continued to come here because I have great childhood memories. I will not spend my money here anymore. The service is terrible. There is always a person at the counter that either doesn't speak English or a kid that has a problem with ringing up your order, but of course their new register system asks you for a tip. My most recent and last experience there was just another day in the life of the Bagel Bin in Wilde Lake. An idiot at the counter tells me everything bagels will be ready in 20 minutes, I asked "are you sure?" Then she asks the owner and the owner says he's not making anymore. That girl would have rang me up for a half dozen and had me waiting around. Now I place my order of three bagels to take home & two sandwiches. My daughter got her bagel with cream cheese (that's not too hard to screw up) but I ordered a power house aka a rabbit (a veggie sandwich it's delicious). I asked for avocado, I paid $1.50 for avocado. Our order was to go. The owner handed me my order. We get home and no avocado. This is not the first time this has happened. The two previous times I was shorted avocado I did not make an issue of it. I didn't call I let it slide. This time I called. The owner tells me that there is a communication issue between the guys in the kitchen and the girl at the counter. The girl was unaware that they were out of avocado. The owner tells me that they need a better system of communication. The kitchen is 5 feet from the counter! He told me my $1.50 would be refunded (hasn't been refunded). What he should've done is refunded my entire order. My issue is not with the $1.50. My issue is with the owner and how he took a beautiful business and killed it with terrible service, price increases (Not due to our current inflation this guy rose prices immediately when he took over), tacky ambience and disrespect for longtime customers. The Bagel Bin in Wilde Lake gets two star only because the bagel recipe is the original recipe from the original owners. Oh! And let's not forget the time I got iced tea out of their iced tea dispenser and the mold came out of it. Gross! read more

Bagel Bin & Deli - Restaurant - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

See all

Bagels are delicious but service is terrible and so incredibly slow. Not super clean inside either.

Relatively cheap, good bagels in a locally owned store that goes out of their way to heavily support local groups. Breakfast sandwiches are made fresh to order, and there is always a good selection of bagels. If I'm in the area in the morning, I always love to get a quick breakfast from here. There's plenty of seating and a wonderful shopping center to explore if you'd rather eat outside. If you're looking for classic NY bakery - this isn't that type of bagel store, but for what they offer, it's a great price point for good food served by people who seem to actually want to be there. read more

Bagel Bin & Deli - people sitting in a restaurant - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

No frills bagel spot with good food and courteous service. The interior is nothing fancy, more deli than coffee shop but still looks like a nice spot to camp out for a bit with your bagel and coffee, read a bit and sit a spell. A couple other patrons were doing so when I arrived. I got a sun dried tomato bagel with egg and cheese, and it was exactly as advertised. Would come back if in the area! read more

Pretty great breakfast spot. As much as people think it's easy to make a good bagel you'd be surprised how many places outside of New Jersey & New York have awful bagels. Luckily this place exists right down the road from us in Columbia. It's a mom and pop type shop that serves all breakfast items, bagels, bialy, and lunch sandwiches. Glad to have a pretty good bagel place here (4 stars bc I grew up with the best bagels - but for Maryland, this place suffices) read more

Bagel Bin & Deli - Menu - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Really nice bagel and cold sub. A quiet and cozy place. Staff are very helpful and efficient. Worth a visit.

I really like the breakfast here. They have really fresh bagels and all you can drink coffee which is nice. It has a small town diner feel to it most of the time but there is a summer camp next door so it can get pretty packed with kids and can be loud at times. But the breakfast is worth it to me. The staff is friendly as well. I got the 3 egg omelette and cream cheese supreme bagel which were great. Good place to also come and read a book while eating. read more

Bagel Bin & Deli - Front register and dining area - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Best bagels in the county. Actually boiled correctly. Coffee is rarely hot though. At least they finally removed (most of) the creepy family photos from the walls. read more

Love this place. Go 2-3x per week. Friendly and fast service. If you're unsure what to get: supreme bagel/bacon/light egg/pepperjack/toasted Thank me later! read more

Bagels are okay but no where near as good as Zabaars in NYC, about even with Cafe Bagels!

They can never get an order right I ordered a ham and cheese omelette and I got a ham and cheese on a bagel people on the phone don't listen when you call in an order they just rush to get to the next one read more

I usually stop by after church on Sundays. Great spot for breakfast. There is usually a good number of folks in there on Sunday mornings so be patient. Don't get there too late, they may run out of the bagels you want. My favorite are their blueberry, cinnamon, cranberry, and everything bagels. The bagels have a good balance of crunch (if you get your bagels toasted) and chewiness. They have other items on the menu like soups, wraps and sandwiches if you want lunch options. read more

Bagel Bin & Deli - Toasted everything bagel with cream cheese - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

As I've been a long time patron, the bagels remain world-class but the service has become abysmal. For several weeks now, long outside waits (15-20 minutes) are the norm and when you finally do get in, the choice/variety of available bagels is limited ... at 9:00am on Sunday (9/20) morning, only 4 choices were available ... other 20+ bins were empty. Due to what seems like very high turnover, the direct customer service staff now consists of only one individual ... and it is usually a different person every week. ... and its been confirmed that the contents of the TIP jar is not shared with the employees who are actually providing service ... the owner/manager pockets all the tips read more

I love a good bagel for a quick pick-up kind of breakfast. Ive had the plain bagel and chocolate chip bagel with cream cheese as well as a sausage egg and cheese bagel sandwich. Overall, I really like how this place has many different kinds of bagels and cream cheese to try and select from. The food I've had here has been pretty good (decent flavor but surprisingly greasy) but I've had better elsewhere. What caused me to give three stars instead of four is the lackluster food and the customer service which has always been okay. I've had to wait in line every time for a while to order and for my food because the workers tend to be talking to one another and distracted. I probably won't go out of my way to go back again but I'd go in a pinch. read more

do not go to this establishment if you want a nova lox on a bagel. I asked for a slice of red onion nova lox on a double toasted bagel with light cream cheese. What I got wise chips of nova lox two small pieces of onion and no cream cheese. Epic fail. I should've just made it myself. read more

owner always seems like he has an attitude when your placing your order, went in and just asked what came on a particular wrap and he became instantly frustrated, I proceeded to order the wrap hardly had any chicken on it ! very expensive and not worth the money if customer service can't be better . read more

Great bagels!!! It's always a treat to grab some of Emily's bagel sandwiches or omelets for a nice breakfast.

Great food, bagels are so fresh! Wonderful neighborhood feel. Their omelettes are actually really great too! Who knew?! This is my go-to place for bagels, whether plain, w/cream cheese, or a sandwich. read more

I've come twice. The service is rather slow. Idk but I feel like something about this place is off. I want them to be a NY Jewish bakery/deli, but they aren't. They aren't an Einstein bagels either. Nothing here is mind blowing. My first time, I ordered a nova lox sandwich on an everything bagel. The bagel was toasted improperly and the cream cheese they use tastes cheap. They didn't salt/pepper the sandwich. The next time, I just grabbed two black bottom muffins. They were just ok, but they skimped on the cream cheese and the muffin didn't have chocolate chips... it just was ok. I want this place to be so great, but it's not. Maybe it needs someone with culinary skill to take over or maybe it needs new owners. But it's just off, very off. I don't be coming back. I tried. read more

Was just here and man was it awful. I'm not sure why anyone comes here. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The coffee is sub part. You can make better at home. They then call me back up and say that they ran out of "Supreme" (everything) bagels. They were there when I ordered... Why wasn't it grabbed? Are they making more? I'm told that they're gone and it will take a long time to make more. Fine. I ask what else they have and she doesn't respond. So I walk over and tell them to switch it to Egg. We sit down and wait. They call my name so my boyfriend goes up to get the food. He comes back and says that they're out of cheddar. So my bacon, egg and cheddar cheese on an everything bagel can't be done because this is a bagel place with no bagels and no cheese. Eff it. I got my money back. The young girls behind the counter were rude, mumbled, didn't look you in the eye... But one continued to give me side eye the whole time because, what? I'm being difficult? I don't understand this place. Slow and rude service. Sub par coffee. No bagels. Runs out of cheese. The only saving grace was that my boyfriend enjoyed his banana nut bagel with honey ginger raisin cream cheese. read more

It took 40 minutes for 2 bagel sandwiches. After asking the manager what was going on, she told me that I let someone else take my order- so their food was still sitting on counter. Manager was rude, unhelpful, and unapologetic. When I asked just to get my money back, she said she didn't know how to do that since I paid with a card. read more

Just waited 20 minutes for a breakfast sandwich when there is no one here. More importantly the girl running the register is very rude. She didn't even offer me a receipt after shoving the one I needed to sign toward me without a word. When I then asked for one she seemed annoyed and ripped it off and handed it to me again without a word. Not even a your welcome after I thanked her for all her trouble. I had to ask what happened with my order and she said it's getting finished right now without actually checking. The next sandwich to come out was for a lady who ordered after me. Standing, waiting, I was there long enough to see my sausage patty being microwaved. Wouldn't think a bucket of egg substitute and a microwave would take 20 min. read more

Fast service with a smile on a busy Saturday morning. Not sure if these other reviews are just unhappy. Girl behind the register smiled, guided me through ordering, and offered me a copy of my receipt. Very good and fast service. We had the Eggel with cheese and Sausage and a bagel with cream cheese. Total elapsed time was 3 minutes for our made to order breakfast. I am not from the area, but I could see us coming back again tomorrow for breakfast too! read more

This is definitely my favorite bagel shop in Columbia. I am not sure if it is same ownership but I have been coming here for over 20 years. So when I'm in the area I definitely need to stop. read more

I love the bagels here. To me they are the closest to NY bagels you can find in the area. Perfect texture and flavor. The manager or owner clearly busts his hump to keep it all in motion. I go on different days and different times and he is constantly on the go and in the middle of whatever needs doing. I wish I had his energy. Bagels can run low at times but that is no head scratcher. When something is good it is going to sell. I almost never see the bagel oven stop baking but the lines of people keep coming. Everyone knows that means GET THERE EARLY if you want your best selection. Only so many bagels can be made at a time. The other day I watched three separate customers purchase over $45 of bagels. Those bins emptied fast that day. Like anywhere, mistakes can happen but I have found them to be a rarity and not a standard. Go and enjoy a great bagel! read more

Not sure who Emily is. Just says Bagel Bin and is owned by Asians. None of which are named Emily. In any case nothing special. Basic bagels. Service on the weekends is horrible. Took them 20 minutes (actual time 18 minutes. I timed it!) to make a egg on a bagel. I can walk here so that would be the only reason i frequent this establishment. They have pictures covering the walls of random people. Very freaky. If anything check it out because of that. read more

The service was great! Other than that, the food was average. I got a bagel and it was nothing special. It's a nice place, but it won't be the first place I think of going to if I want a good bagel. read more

Bagel Bin & Deli - Egg Bagel w/ bacon and egg - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Came at 9:30 on a Sunday morning and the place is almost completely out of bagels. Poor planning and echo the previous reviews complaining about the same thing. Really annoying! read more

They never have any bagels!!!!!!! They have the nasty ones left by 11 am. It's such a hole in the wall kind of place. It's so crowded in the mornings and the crowd consists of crusty old seniors who just don't care about anyone else. It takes forever to get your bagel and cream cheese. If they even have the one you want. Not a very clean facility either. The staff seems to consist of 15 year old girls without a manager present. The only good thing I have to say about this place is that the veggie and strawberry cream are probably the best cream cheeses I've ever had! read more

I have lived in Wilde Lake since 1996 and have been a patron of the Bagel Bin since that time. The value and service has steadily declined since that time. I waited today - 12 minutes, but I it was a Saturday morning - for two sandwiches to go. I ordered BLT's on Everything Bagels. After paying $18 for two sandwiches (yes, you read that right - $18 for two sandwiches) I left with the WRONG sandwiches. I returned and got my money back and a giggled apology from the owner. Overcharging for food - and the wrong food at that - deserved a sincere apology. Further, in the past the sandwiches at least came with a pickle spear but not these sandwiches. So to recap, the service has declined, the price has increased and they provide less. Happily, there are other places in the Wilde Lake area to eat: Starbucks, The Corner Bakery, Whole Foods counter and food bar not to mention Panera at The Mall in Columbia. read more

Not sure if this is more on the store or just inconsiderate customers but I went and followed the posted signage about following social distancing and stood at the marked locations on the floor. I waited for someone to acknowledge me or ask for an order or anything really but they seemed busy so I waited. While I was waiting two customers came in. One picked up an order while another "lady" came in and just walked right up and grabbed a shelf full of cream cheeses and ordered her bag of groceries. As she paid and left another customer came in and much like myself waited at the marked location. At least this customer asked if I had been helped and so we both waited together. After closing out with the previous customer the proprietor asked what he could do...for the customer who came in after me and was waiting beside and slightly behind me. She mentioned that I was next so I proceeded to give my order only to be told that they were out. I actually knew they were as I witnessed the hungry lady before us buy it with her batch. I can't really explain it and maybe I should have just marched up to the counter immediately upon entering so maybe it's on me for following the signs but I can't really support a store that doesn't even pay attention to its customers no matter how much I love a good bagel. read more

I've returned to the Bagel Bin a number of times now. They're problems remain - they are always low on bagels. What kind of bagel place runs low on their key product? I do not like their version of the everything bagel, that they call supreme, because they to it with pretzel salt. The drink selection is large. The interior always looks dirty, and the booths are super run down. They definitely need a renovation. That being said, the selection is good. But it does take awhile for your order to be ready. Be prepared for a 10 minute stop. read more
