    Everything Bagel with Spread
    Kim P.

    I ordered online after reading the yelp reviews and seeing the signs on the window. I was a little surprised at how long it took for a bagel with cream cheese, even after I ordered online. Especially since I was standing around inside with my boss for about 10 minutes after ordering when I got a text saying 8 more minutes, at which point my boss realized he hadn't ordered and put in an order for the same thing I did and he got his before me! I wasn't in a rush or anything, so no harm, though know you'll wait. There was only one person working the counter and taking walk in orders. It's a cute little shop, interesting paintings on the wall for sale and knickknacks-my favorite thing was a huge rattlesnake mug with the rattle broken off. The bagel was good. It had a lot of cream cheese. They have coffee. I got a latte, though it wasn't that great. I should have just gotten coffee!

    Tried this spot for the first time this morning and was NOT disappointed. Been living in Long Beach California for 6 years and I have never tasted a bagel so flavorful....delicious!! Owner was so friendly and welcoming! I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on everything bagels and it was possibly one of the best I've ever had. Bacon was fried perfectly, bagel was also toasted to perfection. No complaints at all-- will definitely be back! Love the vibe of the place also. 11/10 would recommend!

    Bagels are absolutely amazing. We each had the everything bagel breakfast sandwich. We will be back. Text ordering is quick and easy!! While we're sitting eating them, someone even came up and said they looked amazing and asked where we got them from.

    Everything bagel with bacon and cheese.

    Ordered online (super easy platform to use) and then went in to pay. Met by a busy waiting area and an amazing smell of bagels. We waited a few min in the shop and then paid. There was just one person working there, Lenny. He was also the guy working as the cashier and barista! He's a very busy man, but still had the time to give us a smile, ask us how our day was, and thanked us for coming. While the service was great - my whole reason for coming was the bagels...and those were truly the star of the show. Both my husband and I ordered the breakfast bagel on an everything bagel. I'm not a fan of eggs, so I omitted that and it seems as if I was just given more bacon (thank you!). This was, hands down, the best bagel ever. It was an hour drive from us - but totally worth it. And we will definitely be back!

    Kaiser Rolls pretending to be everything bagels...

    We just recently moved into the area. In my search for our regular bagel place to shop from, I decided to try from Big L's Bagels in the heart of Winchester. For a start, to find an easily available parking spot around is pain in the neck. Oh, well, thats part of being in the city center. Then, the store itself does not feel very welcoming, looks dark, cramped, and they only take online orders, which is a very unusual business model. Once the order is placed, it takes almost around 25-30 mins to get it ready: only one person working there on a busy weekend day. As a note, I ordered just bagels to go with a tub of cream cheese. There were no prices online or anywhere visible. Did they remove them on purpose or was there a glitch? One never knows... The amount I paid for it was a RIP-OFF big time: for the same price, I purchased the same amount of bagels from another business in the area (that were tasty) + three tubs of cream cheese vs from this place, I got smth that looked nothing like bagels (more like uncooked Kaiser Rolls pretending to look like everything bagels) + only one tub of cream cheese. Upon bringing that bagels imitation back home, my family refused to eat them as they looked suspicious to them. I decided to give those "Kaiser Rolls pretending to be bagels" a chance, and toasted them thoroughly. Used cream cheese on top, and, after two bites, I didn't wish to proceed with my experiment: they tasted pretty raw inside, bad sour dough taste, and could have possible given me indigestion. If there was a certain way to bring those things to life, the lady working at the shop that day could have given me an advice. To sum it up, miserable parking situation, unwelcoming facility, online-only ordering, long wait time, bad food quality, and overpriced. That's an opinion from my unfortunate experience. Won't be going there ever again and won't recommend anyone to waste their time and money. I still wonder what all those positive glowing reviews were about...

    My delicious food. Also was tasty.

    Bagels, perfection, service and Lenny, perfection. Ambiance, amazing, place looks amazing. I love big l's bagels! Plus, family loved it. Lenny was also amazing! I love this place! they also have frozen bagels for you to heat up! this place has everything and is the best! Please come here!

    Toasted everything bagel with FRESH jalapeño & plain cream cheese

    I was FINALLY able to catch these guys when they're open and it was better than any bagel I've had in years

    Wow, best bagel ever! So glad I decided to make a pitstop here from Virginia Beach back to Ohio. Easy to order by text and order was ready when I arrived, super nice place super nice guy. Loved the lox!

    Everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese. These bagels are like nothing I've had before!

    Lenny is a total delight and knows his stuff! The bagels were like nothings I've had before. The perfect combo of crisp and tasty outside with a soft and buttery inside. Super accommodating to lactose free diet. Amazing almond milk latte and avocado in place of cheese. Intimate little seating area in the back. The pride of ownership in making delicious food was obvious. Totally recommend.

    ORDER ONLINE!!! Or text him.

    Short story: Order online or by texting him what you want out of the three customizable options on his website. It's a one man show (literally, it's just him). You're likely to wait a while. The bagels are bready, tightly knotted, and well seasoned. Coffee is "Self Serve Drip, No Decaf". Longer story: If you've ever read The Dresden Files and recall Mac from McAnally's Pub, this owner could be that guy and this bagel place could be that pub. The walls are covered in various pictures for sale, memorabilia, and random items, most of the seating is blocked off (thank you COVID...), and while there are some bar stools near a window, it's clear no one stays to eat. An eclectic group of people came through as I was waiting for my order - an older man with a thick English accent picking up an order for 12 people, a group of still slightly hungover college students, and a dad and young daughter. Everyone was a repeat customer except for me. Everyone had placed an online order at least 20 minutes before walking through the doors. I anticipated ordering at the counter, but the owner asked me to place one online so I could get in the digital line. Prices were not listed anywhere I could find out, but I was on a mission for a lox bagel so I didn't really care. "When are you not busy?" I asked while grabbing my order, hoping to find a time I could come back and ask him about where all this (gesturing wildly to everything) came from and what led to this point in his life. He shot back "What's the point of coming in if I'm not busy?" Fair point. I checked my bag for napkins and was on my way. Mission accomplished. The business description is "We're are unique bc we make everything we serve. The bagels are hand rolled daily and everything is served w a little bit love." And I'd say that's exactly what you get in terms of personality, style, and food. About the food? Each bagel is wrapped in a small paper tray, then wrapped in foil, and put in a bag with some napkins. The bagels are more on the bready side with a tight crumb and more soft than chewy. Most ingredients were thickly cut. For example the red onion were sliced were about 1/4" thick, as was the smoked salmon. The cream cheese was fresh and slathered on. I inhaled my DrP (everything bagel with lox, cream cheese, red onion, capers and tomato) before I could take a picture.

    The bagels here are phenomenal! Lenny, the owner of the place is very nice. He loves chatting with you when you come in and pick up your food. He has a few seats, but it's mainly a to go place. I will definitely be back!

    Exterior - order online or via text!

I was a little grumpy and off putt by the price tag because I'm super frugal. Well, let me tell you that the apple cider iced tea blew my freaking mind. Black tea, fresh pressed cider, real maple syrup, and cinnamon.... topped with a surprise apple cider doughnut! Pure heaven in a little plastic cup. I wish I ordered a bigger one. I was sad when it was gone. If I lived close, I would give them all of my money to make sure that's the only thing I ever drink again for the rest of my life. My boyfriend liked his hot pumpkin spice latte, but let's be real... That iced tea was the star of the show. Also, the nice man behind the counter overheard me tell my boyfriend that we had about 10 minutes before the parking meter ran out and he kindly informed us that we didn't actually have to feed the parking meter that we put all our quarters into already because they don't charge on weekends. So, we got to enjoy our treat while we walked around a little longer before having to drive home unafraid of parking tickets. He wants me to mention ambience... It's a small-looking corner shop that's surprisingly big inside. It was colorful and fun. Did I mention the apple cider iced tea? Anyway, go get some apple cider iced tea before the season ends and be happy.

The butter they initially brought was so sweet it tasted like buttercream frosting, which was not at all to my taste, and then it took another 10 minutes to actually get the replacement. I really wanted to love this place because the food was excellent, but this was a Monday evening. If the restaurant is this understaffed on a Monday, I can only imagine how much worse the service is on a busy weekend. As much as I enjoyed the food, I don't think I'd go back.
