Family dough has perfected their bagels!!!! They are so good. My favorite is the everything bagel. Make sure to get it toasted. This is such an excellent addition to Mint Hill. The service is excellent and there are plenty of tables outside to enjoy the weather and eat your breakfast! You can also order ahead on their website. read more

In town on business and had heard of this place for its legendary baked goods. Stated my day with the jalapeno cheddar bagel sandwich with egg, bacon and cheese. It was like heaven on a bagel. Everything was perfectly done and cooked to perfection. The bagel had the perfect crisp on the outside with amazing softness on the inside. The hardest thing there was leaving with only a breakfast sandwich. I am certain I will return when in town to sample that cinnamon roll or strawberry muffin, both of which looked decadent. read more

Family Dough Bagels - BLT on a plain bagel with plain cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Mint Hill, North Carolina

Family Dough has the best bagels in all of Charlotte and surrounding areas!!! Family run and owned - they are the nicest and greatest people. It is truly a Mint Hill gem and the best of the best. My personal favs are the salt, cheddar jalapeño and cinnamon sugar bagels - depends on the day! Also awesome breakfast sandwiches just like I remember from back home (originally a New Englander so I know bagels). Nothing better than a sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel to kickoff your day - you are missing out if you haven't tried them yet! Worth a drive if you have one! read more

This is my go to bagel spot! It's hard to find good bagels here in Charlotte but this place is top notch!! Jalepeno cheddar and the French toast bagels are my favorite!! Highly recommend!! read more

Not NYC authentic. I mean, the bagels don't even have a hole. I hate being harsh, but all these other glowing reviews led me astray, so I'm a wee salty right now. As someone who has actually lived up North for a very long time, I can assure you that these bagels are not legit. How so? They lack the right exterior texture and FLAVOR. When I get a good bagel, I can rip it apart and happily eat it plain. I did not have this desire here. I'm still giving them two stars because their bagels aren't terrible/inedible. However, I'd actually prefer buying store bagels.. And that's saying a lot because I rarely buy bread at the store. I feel like my standards dropped when I first moved to Charlotte, but with more businesses opening up, my standards are definitely returning. I hope this review helps someone looking for authentic NYC bagels! read more

Good bagels! They are huge, very filling. They are also very doughy- reminded me of a dinner roll... they were light and fluffy and really good! We got plain, onion, everything, blueberry and cinnamon sugar. I liked the cinnamon sugar because it wasn't super sugary with thick clumps like some others I've had, it was just a light brush of cinnamon sugar. The everything bagel also had a ton of seasoning which was great. They also sell cream cheese. We wanted something sweet like honey walnut and the cashier recommended an apple cinnamon one that was really good. My only knock is the price. It was $43 for a dozen bagel and 2 small tubs of cream change but I guess it's worth it for supporting local and homemade! read more

There's no denying this is a good bagel spot. Great service, really clean & good quality food. Can't beat it really. Glad we came & we'll add it to the list to always come back when we're in Charlotte. read more

Favorite bagel place in the south. Always amazing service every time i go in, the line can be lengthy at busy times but so worth the wait and it moves pretty fast. My favorite is the everything bagel with butter and a side of scallion cream cheese. if you go the cheesecake cookie is a must try!! I try to go a couple sundays a month and eat outside next to the store!! read more

I love finding hidden gems to try and this establishment did not disappoint. I drove about 40 minutes and it was worth it. I bought 2 plain with strawberry cc, poppy with plain cc, jalepeno cheddar with jalapeño cc, everything with BEC, Onion bagel with butter. My only negative critique, is that the buttered bagel needs more butter. There was so little, I thought there wasnt any. The bagels themselves are EXCELLENT. Plenty of seasoning, beautifully baked. The staff were very kind. The store was very busy and the line went pretty fast. The folks there seemed to really like it there. I met a gentlemen named Kevin who spoke very highly of them, and he was correct. You will really enjoy it here. read more

The best bagels around Charlotte! Everyone inside was so nice and they were quick. Would love more seating outside. Can't wait to go back! read more

Family Dough is DEFINITELY the move if you're in the mood for a New York style bagel. Now mind you, you can't replicate NYC water , however, this is the closest thing to a NY style bagel I've EVER tried outside of the city. Had to go with the everything bagel which was seasoned to perfection. As you can see from the picture, they loaded up with Lox, cream cheese, tomato and capers (I opted out of the onions as I had to speak with people lol!) The staff is super welcoming and you can tell they have that family atmosphere down. If you're ever on this side of town do yourself a solid and go check them out. I know I will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

This is my first time coming, went on a Sunday morning. I love this place not just because the owners are from BROOKLYN (that was a plus) but because the bagels are freshly made, everything taste so good and smells amazing. Everyone who works here is so kind and friendly and draws you right in. When you step in the place you are hit with the fresh baked bagels. Your eyes are glued to all the delicious looking delights. While they have a set of customers and it can get busy, you never feel like or are waiting long. It runs smoothly! I order half dozen of plain bagels and cinnamon raisin for me and a half dozen of salted, cinnamon raisin and everything bagel. The bagel are a great size will definitely fill you up. I also ordered a sausage and egg on a roll and a turkey sandwich on a roll. Both sandwiches were delicious. And remind me so much of back home. Looking forward to tasting some other things on the menu. This place will definitely be in my weekend rotation. Can't wait to go back. read more

When leaving Brooklyn to move to Charlotte I was fearful I wouldn't be able to find a good bagel and family dough has scratched that itch! Staff is always warm and friendly. Bagels are always on point especially the everything - tastes like home. Only peice of feedback is the lack of cream cheese on my bagel on occasion. A true Brooklyn Schmear should be overflowing...other than that this place rocks read more

This happened TWICE as first time customers: After keying in payment info to submit an online order got this message "we're not accepting online orders at this time." Also, they do not answer their phone (tried calling 3 times in a 1/2 hour in the morning and just got an answering machine. Scary knowing your credit card info went through but *unable to submit the order (twice is my fault but it shouldn't happen once to anyone)! Picked up an order (Oct 2025) my daughter had placed to feed the bride and groom wedding parties on her wedding day. My husband and I thought we'd try Family Dough since I liked what I saw in-store and heard everything was delicious, but can't validate since we didn't eat/drink anything ourselves. This experience got us to give Sileo's NY Deli a try~ bagels were fresh, way less expensive, and the real "NY bagels" deal! read more

Excellent taste of the North East! I love that they have pork roll, and the bagels are so satisfying. read more

One of the best bagels I've ever had. The honey butter was amazing. Nice light bagel not tough at all didn't have that normal stale chew to it. read more

Let me preface this review-I prefer to give my business to local places versus chains and I also recognize people are doing the best they can. However, on this busy Saturday morning, this bagel fell short. Aside from the 15 minute wait time to receive my order, it was not good. The egg tasted overcooked and there was barely any cream cheese on the bagel. Not worth $7. read more

A wide variety of bagels to choose from and the staff were quite friendly. I bought breakfast sandwich and it was quite delicious. Will be my go to for bagels. read more

I have always loved family dough, I've been going basically since they opened and never really had any issues. This morning I thought I'd go again since it has been a while, and I feel like the quality has dropped tremendously. On my breakfast bagel there was barely any cream cheese which is ridiculous for a $7 sandwich. On my fiancés BEC there was literally 1 piece of bacon on it and barely any egg. Absolutely ridiculous and we will not be back. read more

If you want a good bagel, try FD Bagels. It's a nice family owned shop in Mint Hill. Their bagel sandwiches.....absolutely delicious! Fresh and hot every time we order. There are a variety of bagels you can choose from and build your sandwich how you like it. Easy online ordering and ready on time. My coworkers and I are obsessed with this bagel shop. 5 stars, 10/10!! We love you guys over here at Atrium Health Patient Placement !! read more

The best bagels and breakfast bagel sandwiches I've had here in Charlotte. The bagels are soft and baked perfectly, the ingredients for the sandwiches are fresh, and the service is great. It's usually pretty busy though, because it's so good, so be prepared to wait 10-15 mins most days. read more

The amount of external flavoring, garnish is great. The text of the crust is not good nor is the crumb, the texture on the inside. Traditional bagels should have a nice first chew on the first bite, which these ones lacked. The fermentation period is most likely the issue, as these bagels are rather fluffy. Panning is also an issue, see images. Good luck but we won't be back. read more

I was visiting from out of town recently. During a quick run into Harris Teeter my son pointed out Family Dough Bagels. I might have said we'll have to try those while I'm here. Lo and behold a couple of days later my son, bless his heart, brought me a cinnamon crunch bagel. It wasn't expected and perhaps that's why I loved it so but it was really good with the delicious honey butter spread, toasted to perfection. OMG!!! So good! read more

NYC bagels are top tier, and it's not even up for debate. First let's talk about the bagels... these bagels are delicious, the quality is amazing and you can't beat the price point!!! I stopped by for the first time on a Sunday with my homegirl and ordered a variety of bagels to-go. We wanted to see how the roasted tomato cream cheese would taste with each one. I also ordered a bagel sandwich and enjoyed every bite. They were sold out of the Asiago bagel when I arrived, which lets me know they're very popular so I must see for myself what the hype is about next time. Second, the staff members were dope af. Like yes, I want to talk about bagels and have you make recommendations lol. Third but not least, the building is a whole vibe.... IYKYK. read more

Phenomenal. The best bagels in the area by far... and this coming from someone who's been to almost every bagel shop in Mecklenburg, Union, and Cabarrus. Very authentic NY bagels, with great sandwich options and frequent "special offerings" such as chocolate chip bagels, or cannoli cream cheese. But, the people are the best part... some of the nicest, most friendly people you could ask to meet. read more

Always delicious and great service. Excellent portion and perfect bagel like New York. Crunchy outside and nice and soft inside.

Lives up to the hype, excellent service and a cool spot in downtown mint hill. Huge selection of bagels and sweet treats as well as a TON of options, gives off a nice New York vibe. Want breakfast? Here is the place, thank me later read more

I live 5 min away from this place and finally tried. Delicious and fresh bagels,coming back for sure.

One of the gems in Mint Hill. Family Dough is simply amazing, from their (highly recommend) bacon egg and cheese to their classic deli sandwiches I don't think there's a wrong choice. Staff is friendly, give great recommendations and will have you in and out in no time. Overall it's a great establishment and I'd recommend to anyone looking for a quality bagel. read more

If you have ever lived in a major metropolitan city, I can save you some time. Firstly, I wish the owners much success as I have great respect for people who open their businesses. I'm sure they will do well in this region/location, regardless given how desperate people are for certain foods. As far as the bagels go, I wouldn't waste your time if you have ever had a big city bagel and were hopeful given the very high ratings and reviews. Within about 30 seconds, after taking a look at the bagels on display, it was pretty clear that this was going to be a disappointment. You can just look at some food products and know immediately if it will taste authentic. In this case, not even close. They all looked pale, with different toppings. I ordered an egg sandwich which is a quick and dirty test to see if a bagel is any good. While the eggs were fresh and cooked well, the bagel was tasteless, had no texture, crunch or anything of interest, there was zero flavor/texture and it tasted like a lackluster roll/piece of dough. It doesn't surprise me to see folks raving about a place here, but stating that this is like a NY bagel, etc., and scoring it above below average is a bad joke. Save yourself some time and money, don't bother. read more

Great addition to mint hill which opened about a year ago. My wife and I typically go once a week and try out their speciality bagels. It's ran by a family from NYC so getting a true authentic bagel. There is not an option to eat at the store and they are very busy, so I recommend ordering online as a typical wait time is 15-20 minutes. read more

Becoming a new staple spot for us. Alway delicious! Can get busy on weekend mornings, to be expected though.

Bagels are fantastic. Made fresh each morning. Quick and simple bagel stop. We just had a bakers dozen. No place to sit and eat so be prepared to take it to go. This will definitely be a frequent stop for us on the weekends. Glad to have this local shop. read more

Excellent food and even better service. Family Dough is run by a family and they treat their customers like family. They remember our favorite orders, ask about lives, our pets, work, etc. It's great to have such an amazing breakfast spot in our town. They are worth the drive for take out, even if you don't live near Matthews/Mint Hill, but if this is close to home, you need to make it a regular part of your life!!! read more

Incredible service and the bagels are fantastic! All freshly made in the morning and the atmosphere is great as well.
