Love this place. My husband always gets the salmon sandwich and I love the ham and Swiss

Salt + Pepper bagel with Salted Honey
Courtnay B.

Sold out of most bagel options at 9:40AM on a Saturday. Salt + Pepper and Everything were the only choices, so went with Egg, Bacon and Cheese Sandwich and Salt + Pepper bagel with Salted Honey cream cheese. Service was friendly, she was really apologetic about the lack of choices. The wait was totally worth it! Will be back to try the cinnamon sugar.

Bagels still great just service has gone downhill a lot. Our orders are hardly ever right anymore. Just came home with a scallion bagel instead of chocolate donut lol They don't toast their bagels to the point it's like they get a bonus or something for every bagel not toasted. I gotta be honest a raw lox bagel is so gross lol the texture is vileeeeee it's all soft and chewy. If they start getting orders right I think they have a shot. If not I would bet there's something new there in a year

everything with scallion
Emily G.

Enjoyed my bagel! Big Dom's is a small bagel shop in Cary. There is plenty of parking, but no inside seating. They let a few people in at a time to order, and a line forms quickly at 8am. I ordered an everything toasted with scallion cc which came out to $5.25. If you go early they also sell day-old bagels in packs of 2 for $2 a bundle. Good deal! Location not super close to me, but if it were closer, I would go more often.

I really love the bagels here. The scallion cream cheese is delicious. I've always had friendly service when I've stopped by. I make it a point to come here whenever I can!

I got the egg, bacon, and cheddar on a sesame bagel and the b'donut! Both were sooo good. Service was quick and friendly!

They have amazing bagels and actually toasted it the way I like it. It was covered in cream cheese and it was just delicious. The coffee was also good. There is no where to eat inside, but there is a bench outside. Don't bypass it because of this though because you will miss out on a great bagel. And, their health score is 100!

Big Doms is a very small but yummy bagel shop. Be prepared to wait in line and there are no tables inside. It is more of a grab and go and you can sit on benches outside or somewhere else in downtown Cary. The staff is incredibly friendly. The prices are very high for what they offer but the food was good. I would recommend trying but to visit often would be spending a lot of money for just a bagel sandwich. There are no gluten free options listed some say you can ask ahead of time but it did not seem to be advertised.

Bagel selection (or lack there of)

Big Dom's is definitely no NYC bagel shop. It's rather a crammed in and stressful environment with no seating or flavor choices. The bagels are pretty inconsistent, while the cream cheese is extremely basic. The most off-putting attribute of this bagel shop is that they do not put the cream cheese on the bagels. Instead, you have to buy them separately and are given a flimsy and rather pathetic, plastic knife to spread it on yourself. I should be getting a discount for doing half their labor. Will not be returning, unless forced.

Everything bagel
Tammy M.

I had been wanting to try this place for quite a while. They never seemed to be open when we waited to stop by. Finally hit them up on a Sat morning right when they opened. We got an everything bagel (for me) and a sesame bagel (for hubby) and 2 donuts. The bagels were obviously fresh but we didn't care for the lack of crispiness on the outer shell. After eating the whole bagel with cream cheese I only took a bite of the donut. I actually enjoyed the donut the next morning. Would probably try them again if we are in that area. It wasn't worth going out of our way for.

Sesame bagel with egg, cheddar and bacon
Katie T.

Hard to believe this used to be a Little Caesar's...and that it took me so long to try this spot out. Some friends and I were doing a brewery day by train so I needed to grab breakfast close to the station. Big Dom's seemed like the ideal solution. Apparently they are low on staff (isn't everyone?) right now so you must place your order online ahead of time. You can't go in to pick up or eat. The online ordering system was very easy and I set my pick up time for the next morning. There was just one car ahead of me upon arrival so I didn't wait long. The friendly employee greeted me, asked for my name, poured my coffee and off I went with my meal. Like many have said, the bagel has a different consistency than I'm used to with store bought bagels. It was definitely chewier on the outside. My sesame bagel with egg, cheddar, and bacon was wonderful, and very filling! The coffee was good and nice and hot. I'll be back.

Best in town. You just have to get there early. East Coast style bagels. And possibly with a New York price point for a full B.E.C. Sando.

Big Doms have the best bagels in the area, and you may quote me! Sometimes they do seasonal schmears that are really good.

Gluten free options?

When I first went, they did have a gluten-free bagel on the menu. I went last week and didn't see it on the menu. So you will probably have to ask.

Are you open right now during this bad weather? thank you

Yes, they were open during operating hours in 2018, including when the weather was inclement

I've been a regular benchwarmer customer for a years now and they are one of my favorite breakfast…read moreplaces in Raleigh, but there are some things you should know before going. Their bagels are wood fired so they're not your traditional style of bagels and are a bit harder and chewier. Their variety of cream cheese flavors is what really sets them apart in my opinion - they very dense and creamy. They also have a very unique menu with many different seasonal offerings that rotate frequently. Over the years, I've fine tuned down my order to a couple things each of which I think are 10/10 and some of the best breakfast options in Raleigh! - Grits bagel with dulce pecan or fruit cream cheese (I prefer the grits bagel over plain) - Poppy bagel with spiced honey cream cheese (warning the poppy bagel can be a little messy but worth it) - Breakfast sandwich with sausage and American cheese (sausage is the best - a little sweet and spicy) Every time I go, the staff is always very nice and provides quick service. It can be busy during the mornings and weekends, however they do offer online ordering where you can easily pick up your food and avoid the lines. This location is in transfer food hall, which has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, however they also have a new standalone location that recently opened. If you go to that location, I definitely recommend trying the coconut caramel latte!

| Overview (Based on experience from 4 visits)…read more + Fine amount of different bagels to choose from, including Garlic + Good variety of breakfast deli-style options other than their nice selection of bagels + Nice casual breakfast spot despite small dining area + Fast and friendly customer service + Reuben breakfast sandwich is delicious - Bagels are terribly hard to bite unlike Panera's, which is disappointing considering that NC Bagel has "Bagel" in its name. - Cost about $1 extra to add the Jalapeno Cheddar bagel in the half dozen or dozen order. - Drink selection is limited with combos. Restricted from choosing bottled soda of any of the fountain drinks. - Asiago bagel tasted Plain. I could barely taste the asiago. |Final Thoughts: There is almost no reason to choose NC Bagel over Panera or other bagel shops if you just want bagel. The hard texture is a huge letdown. I've never experienced this bagel issue in Breugger's, Panera, anywhere really. There are other breakfast options I haven't tried here so might be worth exploring but right now the only reason I'd return here is if I am craving for a Reuben sandwich for breakfast. And that mostly makes up the 2 stars I'm giving it. Really hope they improve the overall quality of their bagels. This breakfast deli spot has great potential to be "The Breakfast Spot" but it won't be able to accomplish that if their bagels are as hard as rocks. | Overall Score: 2.4/5

Bagels are good, tried pancakes and bacon to shake it up. Pancakes also good, bacon was biggest…read morewaste of money ever. Thinner than paper, microwaved, thin pieces of paper. Restaurant literally must order lowest quality faux bacon possible.

It took some time to find parking as the surrounding parking lots were full, but I found street parking around the corner. The ambiance is warm and cozy. Brew and the Cary Theater share common space, so you can enter from either entrance. The service is awesome, I was waited on right away and the barista was helpful with suggestions. I ordered a cookie butter latte and an oatmeal raisin cookie w/ walnuts. Both were absolutely delicious, a great combo. When I finished my latte, I dipped my cookie in the cup to get the last of the foam...so good. The baked goods are from Ninth Street Bakery in Durham. How amazing local supporting local. I sat at the bar area. I loved that there were hooks underneath for your belongings, you don't see that everywhere. They have the high top areas, along with a few tables and chairs. I'm so glad I was able to finally experience Brew, looking forward to going back.

Overall, the little coffee shop is cute and has a little bit of outdoor seating which I liked but is expensive for being so mid in my opinion. I ended up paying almost $7 for a blueberry latte. Overall, my latte tasted like a regular latte, even though it did have a seasonal blueberry syrup added to it. I know that blueberry is very light in flavor compared to coffee so I asked for more than the allotted amount of syrup and their response was that they had a certain amount added to of syrups added. So I said ok thinking they would take that into consideration but when I got my coffee, guess the amount they added didn't matter because it tasted the same as a latte regular. Unfortunately, at the end of my coffee (like the last 20%) had what I assume to be bits of berry in it? The texture made me toss the remaining amount. With the high prices and the location right on a busy street / no parking I probably wouldn't be back but I did enjoy being about to sit outside under an umbrella and the service was nice / fast. All the stars would go to the servers and overall cleanliness honestly.

There's plenty of seating, and the menu offers a lot more than just coffee -- with options ranging from craft coffee to beer and wine. I ordered a cortado, which was exactly the late-afternoon pick-me-up I needed. I had to take it to go (never the ideal way to enjoy a cortado), but it was still well prepared and nicely balanced. I also tried one of their seasonal drinks, the Bee Stings Latte -- an iced latte with honey, ginger, turmeric, and a little cayenne kick. It was a really unique combination and surprisingly refreshing. The spice and honey gave it a comforting, almost restorative feel -- the kind of drink that would be perfect if you're feeling a little under the weather or dealing with sore joints. My wife ordered the Raspberry Beret, an iced matcha with raspberry purée and white chocolate. Her verdict: the best matcha she's ever had. Between the creative drinks, solid coffee, and laid-back atmosphere, Full Bloom is a great spot in Garner whether you're settling in for a while or just grabbing something on the go.

For food, I got the Maple griddle which was very tasty. We were all wanting mimosas but they ran out of juice for mimosa so they were just giving champagne instead. My only complaint that I watched all my friends get theirs in beer glasses but mine came in a small container -__- I assume this may be the regular mimosa glass but I disliked the consistency and equality. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat upstairs, which was a decent sized area with great lighting and local art. Overall, it's a nice establishment in downtown Garner.
