I was their 2nd customer on grand opening day. It's located in the Food Lion plaza, next to Domino's. It's a small and casual place-four tables of four seating each. Staff were wearing masks.
BK&D makes bagels and donuts from scratch. The owner used to be the baker for Donut Inn, Seaside Bagels, and Bagel Meister. They didn't have a big menu board, only one to-go menu brochure with no prices listed. They offer breakfast and lunch sandwiches on either a bagel, Kaiser roll, croissant, marble rye bread, wheat berry bread, wrap, or baguette (they didn't have this yet). Meats are from Boar Head. There are also omelettes and muffins. Sides come with lunch sandwiches: waffle fries, tots, chips.
Donut options (yeast) were boston cream, jelly, glazed, sugar, sprinkles, cinnamon roll, twists, donut of the day, which was chocolate glazed or drizzled chocolate. There was one cake donut option available as sour cream. Strawberry and cheese pastries and croissants were also available in the donut display case.
I tried a variety of a dozen donuts ($16.63). They packed the donuts in a pizza box. Not sure if this was on purpose or if they are planning on getting bigger donut boxes. My favorite was the jelly donut and I usually don't like jelly donuts. Now this isn't your typical jelly donut. It was more of like a jelly donut sandwich, where the donut was sliced in half, filled with a generous portion of black raspberry filling, and topped with powdered sugar. The donut itself was just so soft. Definitely recommend to try this.
My second favorite donut was the sour cream cake donut. I loved the crunchy exterior and the soft cake texture. The taste was just so buttery and had the perfect amount of sweetness.
The Boston cream donut was good as well. The Boston cream donut and jelly donut were bigger in size than other donut places.
I didn't like the croissant and strawberry cheese pastry that much. The croissant wasn't very flaky or buttery. Maybe if the strawberry cheese pastry was warmed up, it would have taste better.
Now on to the bagels! Bagel options were jalapeno, jalapeño cheese, asiago provolone, sun-dried tomato three cheeses, pumpernickel, plain, 8 grain, everything, sun dried tomato, salt, garlic, sesame, spinach pepper jack, asiago, onion, baconator, Poppy, French, and chocolate chip. A dozen bagels costs $16.63 vs. a single bagel at $1.55. You can get your bagel scooped out (that should be a food crime in my opinion).
Ordered a baconator bagel (cheese and small pieces of bacon) sandwich with fried eggs and cheddar cheese, not toasted. There were some hiccups in getting my sandwich, but it worked out in the end. The sandwich was good-The bagel itself was soft and a little dense. The egg was fried well and the cheddar cheese was melted perfectly. My partner also enjoyed his breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel with eggs, meat, cheddar cheese ($4.57). He liked how most of the everything seasoning stayed on the bagel, unlike other bagel places.
Cream cheese is available for the bagels. Options were plain, honey nut, scallion, or jalapeno. Unfortunately, they didn't have jalapeno available yet so we got scallion ($3.95). The scallion cream cheese was delicious. The cream cheese was rich and creamy and the scallions were fresh.
Beverage options are coffee, soda, red bull, Gatorade, water, orange juice, apple juice, and yoo-hoo chocolate drinks. Coffee is local.
This place is definitely worth a stop for breakfast sandwiches and donuts if you're in the area. read more
