Love this place. Em, Raven and Chris were awesome! They knew my order the second I walked in and…read morehad it ready quickly. The bagel and egg was amazing! They are very friendly here!

Be careful and double‑check your total at checkout!! I ordered a bagel and declined a receipt, but…read morenoticed the total on the screen was several dollars higher than expected. I ended up grabbing the paper receipt and saw that a $3 tip had been added without my consent. When I asked about it, the red-headed female cashier said, "sometimes the machine just does that," which didn't seem true. I wasn't reimbursed, and it's not about the amount -- it's about how uncomfortable and shady the experience felt. It makes me wonder how many other people she has done this to.

You'll be pinballing through your day, and look out for the bonus round! Most every doughnut is slathered in some kind of icing. A bunch have filling and icing. Inside and out. DING DING DING !! Good luck folks. I picked up some apple fritters. Those being the healthiest option?? LoL! They were excellent. Wait, check that....it was excellent. Uh, make it, half of one was excellent. The rest are awaiting their chance to engage with me. Soon my little friends, soon. Quick Tip: If you pay cash, you'll get a discount. Use what you save to buy some milk. It'll coat so you can shove in those coated confections.

Great breakfast / brunch spot…read more We go every time we're anywhere near Hudson. Very good coffee, and bagels / cream cheese selection. Employees are always energetic and helpful, and the family who own the shop made a great impression on us when we met them.

What a JOKE! WTF happened to this place? I asked for a Just Veggies omelette on a plain bagel and…read moreto add cheddar cheese. These idiots could NOT figure it out and gave me a plain bagel with a slice of cheese. I ordered a French toast sandwich (on their website for the Forest Lake location) and they had ZERO clue what that was. They eventually figured it out. The egg portion has definitely gone downhill. Absolutely ZERO chance there's even a half egg on the sandwiches! I've been a loyal customer for years and will NEVER be back. Horrible. I hope you lose your franchise. Oh, and look at the napkins. Nice folding.

I've been coming here for over 10 years, even before the ownership changed, so this review is disappointing for me to write. Unfortunately, this is now the second time my order has been messed up. I specifically ordered four toasted bagels, and not a single one was toasted. What makes this even more frustrating is that I live 40 minutes away and make the drive because I've always loved this place. I understand being busy, but repeatedly getting such a simple order wrong feels careless and inadequate, especially when customers are waiting so long and paying premium prices. It's very disheartening because after the last mistake, I told myself I probably wouldn't come back, yet I gave it another chance because of the loyalty I've had to this business for years. I truly hope they slow down enough to pay attention to quality and accuracy again, because long-time customers notice the difference. Not happy at all

After the BAB in Apple Valley was forced to close due to road expansions, I have been making the…read moretrek to Forest Lake for the delicious bagels that they serve here. The service is always great, although it seems as if there are always "new" employees there that need some mentoring on the cash register. The ambiance depends on the day, but it's kid friendly, senior friendly and has a great selection of coffee and muffins as well. There's even a cute boutique nextdoor that you can wander into after you devour your delicious meal. The bathrooms are always clean and employees come out to wash the tables way more often than I have seen at competitors in the metro area. I cannot describe the deliciousness of the breakfast sandwiches here. If I lived closer, I would be a daily customer. I enjoy other bagel shops in the area, but there's just something about BAB's that is off the charts delicious! Please don't close!!!!!

So slow. The worst service. I ordered a bagel. Didn't know it didn't come with cream cheese. I…read moreasked the people preparing and I was treated like the BIGGEST INCONVENIENCE. No desire to make it right. Doesn't offer to help. So I asked how do I get cream cheese on it and the rude woman said that I need to go back and pay for it which is fine. It's just her demeanor was terrible and she made me feel like I was not a guest in a restaurant but a toddler in her kitchen so then I go back and there's a long line to which you already paid for the bagel, and the guy running the cash register says I gotta go back to the back of the line and wait for the four customers ahead of me to check out just so I can add cream cheese to the stupid bagel. I don't have a problem paying for the cream cheese. But the right thing would've been for the woman to say I'll add it then she tells the cashier in the next available spot in between customers the cashier quickly rings up a dollars worth of cream cheese. That is not what happened I was rudely told to go back and pay for it and the cashier sends me to the back of the line so I have to wait for 4 more people again to pay for it to pay for this silly cream cheese. Even during the process, the people making the bagels were asking where my payment was for the cream cheese and the guy just had me wait in line until I could pay for it. Ridiculous. Of course I'm paying for it. They're just should've been a better way of handling this customer service issue. Everybody in there was rude and I felt like I was bothering these employees except for Karlos. He was great asked me questions and made sure I left with the sandwich that I was supposed to get. So I wanna shout out Karlos for caring and the rest of this team needs serious help!
