    Yes, yes, yes! This is the place to go! The bloody Mary's and special cocktails are absolutely amazing. I love that the owners are a local family and the kids help out as well. The bagels are high-quality and the sandwiches have never disappointed.

    Hangover bagel

    Everything about this place is 5/5, especially as they've moved and expanded their location in the past few years. Parking is much easier as they have an additional lot in the back so you don't deal with the main traffic. They have a dining in option or take out option. I think in the past, we used to be able to order take out and eat at a table if it was free but they're now reserved for people who opt to dine in. I always get the hangover bagel, subbing bacon for sausage! Even tho I get it to go, it stays warm and yummy!

    Small spot with the option to dine in or take your food to go. I found it on TikTok and expected more of a cozy coffee shop vibe, but it felt a bit chaotic inside. If you're looking for a chill breakfast spot, this might not be the best fit. That said, the staff was super friendly and helpful! Coffee lovers this probably isn't your place. I'm a bit bougie about coffee, so I played it safe and ordered an iced tea instead. My boyfriend got The Delbert, and I built my own sandwich. He thought the Asiago bagel lacked flavor, but I really liked the jalapeño cheddar bagel with jalapeño cream cheese super tasty! We ended up taking home a half dozen bagels and two cream cheeses to try later.

    Great breakfast! I was able to modify to my needs which always earns extra poor a with me! Tasty and good bagel per my NY hubs - it's not NY but very good! Cream cheese was flavorful and perfect add to my eggwhites! And bonus they had peppermint tea!

    Everything we ordered

    We went here for a quick breakfast/brunch before hitting the road. Very nice place and chill employees. We sat at the bar and es assisted by Allie. We ordered water and coffees. Coffee was hot and fresh. Very good to start the morning. Our first menu item we ordered was The Delbert. This bagel had a bagel, sausage, bacon, Canadian bacon and a fried egg on and everything bagel. It was hot, very fulfilling and came with a side of home fries. Next menu item was a banana foster French toast, which was on their special menu. I really liked that day made the bananas a candied fry before adding them to the French toast. Very delicious and I ate the whole plate even when my stomach became full. I had that with the side of fresh fruit which included strawberries, grapes blackberries, blueberries. And I also had it with the side of sausage patties. Very delicious. Finished it off with a to go order of a bacon, egg and cheese rosemary bagel. Overall great food great service nice spot

    If you're looking for the perfect spot to hang out with friends, enjoy some killer food, and soak in the beach vibes, this bagel location is a must-visit. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a laid-back yet welcoming atmosphere. The service here is top-notch friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience amazing. The bagels are a hit. The ability to build your own bagel is great that way you can choose from the protein and toppings as well as spreads they offer a wide variety! And don't even get me started on the pumpkin banana chocolate chip muffins they serve up! They're a perfect balance of sweetness that comes from the ripe bananas, and seriously, they're the kind of treat you'll crave for weeks! (making you want to come back) Whether you're chilling with a coffee and muffin or diving into a savory biscuit sandwich, this place has the kind of easy-going energy that makes it perfect for long brunch sessions with friends. It's the kind of spot you want to keep coming back to good food, great service, and a fun, relaxed vibe. If you're nearby don't miss it!

    We did a pickup order and it was ready in no time! We've been here a couple times and it is always packed for good reason! This place is delicious and has so many different options.

    Cinnamon Roll

    Went to this cute bagel shop after looking for spots worth visiting while in OBX for a few days, and it was great! We ordered the Jersey Morning and the Hangover Cure, along with a cinnamon roll to share. The bagels and ingredients were fresh and tasty, and the cinnamon roll? When they said "colossal," they weren't kidding! Price point was fair also. Thanks!

    TLDR - great breakfast, excellent french toast, friendly service! Food - we ordered the French toast, hangover bagel and a scrambled egg for our 8 month old. First, the French toast is EVERYTHING! So good that we're coming back tomorrow to get it again! So much depth and flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness! The hangover bagel sandwich was good as well. We got it on the jalapeño cheddar bagel which made the sandwich more flavorful. It was a bit dry and would have benefit from a sauce. We added the scallion cream cheese which helped. Vibe - cute atmosphere and casual vibe Service - the host who sat us and the waitress who served us were both so kind. Our waitress also gave excellent recommendations.

    One of our favorite stops in the outer banks! Super quick and friendly waitress. The Christmas decorations were so cute and festive. We had no trouble getting a table around 830 AM. The Oregon inlet was truly a perfect bite with the cold tuna and spicy wasabi cream cheese on a warm toasty bagel... just perfection! The owner approved is a delicious and hearty breakfast sandwich with delicious cream cheese. No cocktails because it was before 10 on Sunday but I did really want an Irish coffee to warm me up... next time!! I perfect spot to hit on your way to the wright brothers memorial.

    Small place but great bagels! The service was great and we got in before the rush. Definitely recommend going. Lots of options for Sammy's or just a bagel with cream cheese.

    Bagels were great, so was my smoothie. They don't have coffee drinks, just black coffee which surprised me.

    What a great place for breakfast. Had a chance to meet the owner who took the time to walk us…read morethrough some of breakfast options, including where he orders his ham from....NC company known for their ham! So, tried the ham---thin sliced and as good as advertised! Home fries.....you could tell these were homemade! Pancakes....light and fluffy! Overall, great breakfast and business has been family owned FOREVER! Worth a visit...or two!!!

    Had breakfast here with family this morning - my grandfather ordered food - 2 over easy eggs & 3…read moresausage links. he was brought out his breakfast on a saucer/side plate. his eggs weren't made correctly, busted all over the plate. he asked the waitress politely to take it back and he didn't want anything else as well as he did not ask for a refund. 10 minutes later we were greeted by the owner, woman, by her screaming at my grandfather across the table on how to treat employees and all he had to do was "ask for a bigger plate" proceeded with stating how "ridiculous" he was because he wouldn't just eat it. the poor waitresses were mortified as well as us by this experience. will NEVER come back here. IN REPLY TO OWNER SINCE I AM UNABLE TO REPLY TO RESPONSE - our heads were down as we were absolutely embarrassed the OWNER of an establishment came out the way you did. YOUR staff came up to us multiple times after the fact to apologize for how YOU were and that you were always that way to customers but how intimidated they were by you so they didn't want to say anything. He pulled the waitresses aside to apologize for any convenience he may have caused them, letting them know they were wonderful but YOU were the problem. adding to the waitresses stated how he wasn't rude & quote from our waitresses from quote said "if i knew she was going to be that way to y'all, i would've never said anything." your replies are very telling on you as a person - learn customer service if you are going to try to run a successful business!
