Staff is awesome. Girls are cute. Service slow but can easily be fixed by raising prices, pay staff more money and purchasing another oven. Bagels are better than bronx bagels. But still have an artificial taste kknda like dunkin. You can tell they arent fresh but if you need something to eat fast for breakfast its okay read more

This is a surprisingly good bagel shop for Florida. Ok they aren't perfect NYC Jewish deli bagels but way better than most options around town. Good selection of both bagels and cream cheese. I do wish the toaster was a bit more toasty. You can get a tasty bagel breakfast sandwich which will keep you full for hours on end for about $4! They also have great lunch offerings too. Late in the day you can get half off bagels. Wednesday they offer half off giant muffins! So glad this place is in the neighborhood! I definitely hit it up regularly. read more

This is a New York bagel store. If you are like me, from New York and you cannot find bagels, pizza, or bakeries, well, you just found your bagel store here. Come here, sit down at a table or a booth and have your breakfast or your lunch. Can you ask anymore? And the decor is quite pretty although they could use nice wallpaper or a wallpaper mural of New York/Brooklyn Bridge, the place where the owner is probably from, if I had to guess. You will not find any snotty millennials in this place! The girls are sweet, and the young men are gentleman who work here; this is a great place! To the owner: please use organic tomatoes, in the future. Your tomatoes are a little pasty. read more

Everything here is very fresh! The bagels are terrific, fluffy! I try to go on Monday when there is a discount on a dozen bagels and cream cheese. If you immediately seal the bagels in an air tight bag they will last several days, you must do this! I love their iced coffee as well. The place is very clean and the employees are fast, polite, and welcoming. This is the best bagel shop in LOL/Wesley Chapel. Also, you will often see the owner working, cooking, etc. I hate it when I see an owner standing around barking at the employees and doing nothing to pitch in, that is not the case here. Ive been eating here for about 10 years and I do not have one bad thing to say about them, all positive experiences. read more

I only gave this place 3 Stars, not because of anything that they did wrong... actually they did EVERYTHING right. Even for those in our group (my wife) who is T1D and can't eat most of what's on anyone's menu... if only someone would open a restaurant that caters specifically to diabetics in Tampa (hm now that's an idea!)... where was I... oh yeah, they have a French toast bagel with maple sausage and I wanted it SO bad but the jalapeño bagel won out... next time for sure! We weren't inside long so I didn't take the usual number of pictures so there's so real way to add the visual effect to my words... I'll update this review on my next visit with tons of pics! read more

Big Apple Bagels - Fresh Start bagel breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lutz, Florida

Craving a bagel and this little spot was recommended to us by my husband's coworker who lives in the area. Nothing, n o t h i n g, beats a fresh bagel and cream cheese! They have a full breakfast sandwich menu, easy ordering and plenty of outdoor seating, which appeared to be pet friendly. I ordered the BLT on an Everything bagel with Veggie cream cheese, my husband got an Everything with chive CC, our girls split an original plain bagel with strawberry CC, and we had to try the Asiago with plain CC. We couldn't believe all of that was only $13, VERY budget friendly! Needless to say we're going back tomorrow because the pumpernickel bagel is calling my name! If you're in the area I would 10/10 recommend stopping in! read more

Looking for New York style bagels for fair prices? I'd say look no more! I've been around big Apple bagels for a while now and it was always something I've wanted to try. So I recently had a craving for a bacon egg and cheese bagel, but New York / Northeast style. The type of bagels you can find in any deli / bodega up north. I've tried different ones, I.E. Einstein bagels and more but none ever gave me that up north feeling. Walking into Big Apple, the place is a good size. Ample eating area and friendly employees greeted me and offered me suggestions as to what to get. I got a bacon egg and cheese "southern style" on an everything bagel. Toasted to perfection, and the first time I felt like I was biting into a N.Y. bagel. I will be back to try more options and flavors for sure. read more

What you are about to read pains me to write because I realize I am partially at fault. OK so after several trips and nothing but great bagels, I finally ordered a dozen using the online app. I made the mistake of ordering my bagels for Friday morning on Wednesday. What a difference a day makes. While I clearly marked the order for a Friday morning pickup, it seems this was too much to ask. On Thursday, the company called my office but then they hung up and when we called back, they didn't answer. I thought nothing of it. Then on Friday morning, pre VERY IMPORTANT MEETING, I went to pick up my dozen bagels and they handed me a bag of stale, cold as hell and horrible bagels. Now here is where I am at fault again. I did not check the order and left the store thinking I had fresh bagels because the woman handed me the bag and made a comment about the bag being open to allow the bagels to cool. (??????) It was not until after the meeting when my clients and my employees made comments that I put two and two together and realized that 2+2 = a dozen ....stale bagels pulled a day early. So, naturally, I wrote to the corporate website and I did so because this is what it says on their website, "This form is only for sharing feedback with Corporate headquarters about your experience." But the response received was as follows, "Very sorry to hear about your recent experience. All of our stores are independently owned and operated but I am forwarding your message to the local owner." Now these two things seem to be contradictory but not mutually exclusive. Naturally, I would now expect a response from the local store which in the past several months has enjoyed quite a bit of business from my office, but alas, that was not to be. Which brings me to my opening statement. It pains me because there is zero reason I should be spending my valuable time writing a complaint. Had the owner or local operator made even the slightest attempt to contact me, even if they had said, sorry, here is a 15¢ coupon off of your next purchase, it would have demonstrated some level of consideration for a dissatisfied customer, but crickets tell me that they could care less. What total silence from the local owner says is "We only care when we don't make a mistake" and that is not what I would expect. So after waiting a week and not getting even the decency of a GFY, I can state without hesitation that I will never patronize this establishment again. read more

I've been going to this place four a couple years. I love the bagels when the orders are right. One big pet peeve is that you order when you walk in and pay at another spot then have to fight back upstream to collect your food. The way that system is set up could be better streamlined. Always check your bagels or choose the bagels you want. I've got bagels that are sized for kids and left hungry. The turn around with the kids that are working there isn't the best. If the older lady is there she keeps that place in check and goes on and beyond. Always double check your orders this isn't chick fil a read more

Not New York bagels but the closest thing you will get in this area. Went recently and had the Breakfast BLT on pumpernickel and it was great. My wife had a pumpernickel bagel toasted with chive and onion cream cheese and my kid had a plain bagel with egg and cheese. We enjoyed our bagels and will definitely be coming back. What's also nice is that they have a nice selection of muffins and mini muffins and a great selection of coffee drinks. My wife likes decaf lattes and she was able to order an iced decaf latte. All in all, definitely worth coming to if you are searching for a good bagel in the area read more

Excellent bagels with toppings or bagel sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches. I do not know how they make their bagels but the taste and texture is much better than the standard Einstein or Panera. Very delicious. read more

Being a native New Yorker my whole life, I struggled to find home in a bagel here in Florida. It's just NOT the same. Stumbled across Big Apple Bagel and let me tell you... we found a winner! Bagels were fresh, doughy and delicious. They have a good variety of bagels as well as pastries, coffee and sandwiches. Glad I found this gem! #nyc read more

I've been here quite a few times and been completely satisfied. This time was a little less than before but I'll still come here for a bagel sandwich every once in a while. My friends and I have turned this into our road trip spot when we're heading out of town. They sell bagels, muffins, breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches. They also have coffee and coke products. I usually get the jalapeño bagel, which isn't too hot, with turkey and bacon. The sandwich is filling and I'd say 90% of the time is stuffed with turkey. I don't know what happened this time but I basically had a bagel with a piece of turkey on it. It is in a small shopping center with a few other store fronts. The turn in is past the store. There is plenty of parking out front and in a parking lot next to the shopping center. The dining area is large and can be adapted to move tables around. There is a clean bathroom and the people that work there are friendly. read more

Was in the mood for good NY Salt bagels what I got seems like a par baked frozen bagel with iodized Kitchen salt instead of Pretzel salt,

I haven't really ventured out during Covid. But I really wanted to go and get breakfast from this place that I use to go to frequently In the early morning. Today my order was taken by the owner and what a shock how rude he was. I couldn't even get my order out with him barking at me how many do you want he then threw salt mixed with raisin bagels in the same bag no paper between them ... I had to ask to get them cut. I then ordered muffins and again very rude. Sir you never have to worry about me or my business. It would be different if I didn't stand in line behind another gentleman and you were Mr. Friendly and took more than enough time to take his order. Again worse service ever, would not recommend and will never spend a dime in this place again. read more

If I could give ZERO STARS I WOULD! Been coming here for almost 2 years and it gets worst by the visit . THEY SUCK AT PHONE ORDERS. On weekends they cut your egg in half to sell to the next customer. So I'm getting less egg on weekends. They're customer service is just TRASH I hope you guys fix these mistakes because it can tarnish your business read more

People here are rude. The woman behind the cashier fought me about everything, said she wouldn't give me the rewards points even though my purchase qualified and said her employees didn't know what they were talking about. Said she didn't care what the app said and just was overall rude. Toaster has also been out for a month and they keep lying saying it will be in next week yet it never arrives. Bagels have gotten embarrassingly smaller each visit. I've been nice when they've forgetting bagels in my order yet still asked me to pay but now I'm realizing there is no reason even continue coming back for sub par food. Ultimately- if you want bagels just go to another bagel spot unless you want un-toasted, small bagels with a side of attitude. read more

This place never disappoints. I always make sure to pass by when I'm in town. I always get their bacon egg and cheese on and everything bagel with chives and onion cream cheese. This last time I went I got the BLT on an everything bagel with chives and onion cream cheese. read more

After hearing nothing but good things about this place, I finally got to give a shot today. Everything bagels are one of my favorite, go-to snacks so that's always what I try at new places. The first thing that I noticed when I went in was how unfriendly the staff was. It's not that they were rude, but just not very inviting or helpful. I ordered a latte icespresso which was delicious and the bagel was kind of dry and the everything seasoning tasted kind of stale. Not the worst bagel but far from the best. Overall, if you're craving a bagel and this is your closest stop, it's decent but there are definitely better options if you're willing to drive a bit farther. read more

I am from NY and live in FL now. Finding good food in FL is a joke. These people really don't know what good Italian, Chinese, Diners, or especially bagels are. Everything is much more expensive as well then in New York City! This place was recommended by my $300 hairdresser (who thinks she can charge NY prices for subpar service). So I go and order 18 bagels. They said there was a special with cream cheese added. I said ok. Well $28.00 later I get the bagels. Not only were these bagels way too expensive but they were SO SMALL! In all fairness, they tasted alright but not quite the NY they say they are. And the size of these bagels is NOT WORTH the prices they charge. The bagels in NY are almost twice the size for less money! But i guess they get away with it because the people here just don't know any better. read more

I LOVE bagels and if this place was closer to my house I'd probably be there every day. I got the Lox & Cream Cheese bagel (minus the capers) and the turtle mocha. Both of which were awesome! This seems like a little hole-in-the-wall place but the definitely know what their doing, huge selection on bagels and different cream cheeses as well as muffins, smoothies, and coffee. Will for sure be back again! read more

Ordered online for carry out. Honestly wasn't impressed with the food. I had bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. It wasn't anything I couldn't have made at home. Also tried the cinnamon swirl cheesecake muffin, it was good but I didn't get a big taste of cinnamon. read more

Do not go here. So to start with I asked for a toasted bagel with a little bit of butter. Instead it was a grease filled mess that soaked their paper bag and everything. We've been here 4 times and sadly today will be the last. Not efficient in their work. Nothing to do with being understaffed. Then to top it off I spoke to the manager working about witnessing a barista making a coffee. She made a giant mess then used a disgusting cleaning rag to wipe this guys coffee down including the lid after she oozed the coffee everywhere. I can't imagine it tasted good. If he gets sick at least this is a record of why. Before I could get to him she was down the counter and handed it to him. Less than one star is needed. read more

We love their bagels! The bagels are super affordable and taste great! Everyone here is so nice and we haven't had a bad experience yet!

Ordered ahead for Mother's Day. Place was slammed. Got my order to me in the time promised and the young man working the counter was polite and working his tail off. Bagels and box of Joe were on point. Nice that they prioritized the call in orders to reward those that planned ahead. A great local business with good food and coffee. Consistently good. read more

I'm from NJ and worked in Manhattan for 15 years. These bagels are a shame to call them big apple. These are by far the worst bagels I ever had in my life. If you're looking for a true NY/NJ bagel, go on fletcher. I had a poppy seed w/ sausage and egg. Oh, btw they microwave everything which should speak for itself read more

As a New Yorker all my life, that recently relocated to the Tampa area, finding bagels pizza and pasta has been a struggle.. nothing taste the same. One of my new friends recommended Big Apple Bagels since I'm the newest member with Fresh NY taste buds. And I am sorry but NOTHING LIKE NY. Clean friendly establishment but just NOT my NY bagel shop. Asked for fried egg burn bacon n American cheese, a classic... No fried egg, had to settle for scrambled that was super bland no flavor. And my burnt bacon was NOT BURNT. It was jiggly Sorry Big Apple change up your egg style burn the bacon when a customer asks add some salt pepper and maybe love. As for now I will not be returning. read more
