Quick service, made to order, and very yummy! Definitely a great place to stop in a hurry and sit down and enjoy there!

The new location in Bluffton is beautiful. It's obvious a great deal of time, effort, and investment went into renovating the space. The restaurant feels clean, inviting, and well thought out. One area that could use improvement is signage. The property has a drive-thru lane and drive-thru windows, which naturally led me to assume there was drive-thru service available. After circling the building, I realizing it wasn't operational, not a major issue, but clearer signage would help eliminate confusion for first-time visitors. Once inside, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which is exactly what I've come to expect from Island Bagel. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the standard I've experienced at their other locations. I ordered the Lowcountry Breakfast Sandwich. The bagel was under-toasted, and the eggs were overcooked. While "stale" may not be the perfect word, the eggs gave the impression that they had been sitting for a while rather than being freshly prepared. The fresh, made-to-order quality I've come to associate with Island Bagel simply wasn't there during this visit. I'm hopeful this experience was an exception rather than the norm. Based on my past experiences with the company, I know they're capable of delivering much better. While this particular visit fell short of my expectations, I would still encourage people to give Island Bagel a try, whether at this location or one of their others. My hope is that this was simply an off day and that future visits better reflect the quality I've come to expect from the brand. Disclaimer: This review is based solely on my first visit to Island Bagel & Deli's new location. It is not necessarily representative of every experience I've had with the company. I've visited other Island Bagel locations in the past and have generally been very impressed. I believe reviews should be honest reflections of a specific experience while also providing constructive feedback that helps both future customers and the business itself.p read more

Island Bagel & Deli-Bluffton - Sandwiches Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

The bagels are fire!!! As my kids would say. I've had almost everything on the menu and haven't had anything i do not really like. The only issue I have is how long it takes to get your food on a slow day. I've tried to order pickup through DoorDash and the charge the DoorDash rates even if you pick it up. I'll just continue to go and wait for it and order in the store. read more

I purchased a half-dozen bagels today from Island Bagel, once the only place I would buy bagels in the area. Unfortunately, I was surprised to watch the employee bagging my order without wearing gloves, a huge hygiene concern. When I was able to try the bagels, I was surprised at the quality; the bagels were not cooked thoroughly and were raw in the middle. Due to these issues with sanitation and food quality, I will be finding a new bagel shop and suggest you do too. read more

I got the Rita Bagel and it was a 10/10 Definitely one of the best bagel sandwiches I have had. Service was amazing and food only took about 5-10 mins. read more

Great little place to stop for breakfast. We rolled in at peak breakfast time hoping for a handful of breakfast sandwiches to hit the road. The wait was long, the line was long.they did a great job getting everything made and put in bags. Do not go during peak time if you don't want wait. I got a tossed bagel and my family got the sandwiches. We also got some of their blueberry muffins. Super moist and tasty. Overall happy we stopped. Just be smart on when. read more

Went to the new one on Buckwalter Drive and had great coffee, ok breakfast sandwich, and ordered a salami and cheese to go for lunch. If you're hungry save your money and go accord the street to the gas station and get one with meat on it. This had a thin slice of salami and piece of cheese. I'm used to a good sandwich and you won't get it there. Plus the price was ridiculous for a slice of lunch meat. Just saying. Good service though read more

This is one of my favorite spots for lunch. Yes lunch. Their bagels are really quite good, particularly considering how far south we are. But their lunch is phenomenal. Get the "Our Favorite" sandwich on their house made hoagie roll. The hand pulled turkey is perfectly peppery and unctuous and that schmear of cream cheese goes so well with the avocado and fresh toppings. I get it without the onion but otherwise as it comes is perfect. read more

I hate writing a bad review of a local establishment. Three weeks ago, I called to inquire about the opening of the new location on Buckwalter. Their signage has been on the building for months... Phone call- Me- "Hey there, I live 1/4 mile from the new Buckwalter location, when do y'all open," Island Bagel - "When we are open, you'll know....(and I was hung up on) 3/5 today I went in and ordered 4 sandwiches, I commented about the signage on the door stating the opening date was "unknown" I then explained what happened, with my call. The cashier apologized for the experience.... the lady with the clipboard (manager??) stared and nothing was said. So I walked away, if they do not care neither do I!!! read more

Friendly people. Not impressed with the food at all. Roast beef was dry and old. Bagels ok. A deli should be fresh!

All locations great food friendly local team! Best bagels on and off the island - great for work meetings!

I had my first experience with Island Bagel today for breakfast at the new location on Buckwalter in Bluffton. I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant and it was awesome!! It was so large I could only eat almost half of it. I will be back soon Island Bagel!! read more

This place was SO busy when we were there. It was about 9am and there was a line out the door. We waited probably 14 minutes before we could order. However they made our order quickly and it was yummy! We liked the garlic bagel the best. The lady behind the register was really lind as well and very positive and seemed happy to be doing her job. read more

Yum! On our way to HHI we stopped at Island Bagel and Deli for lunch. Good choice! Friendly people, upbeat music playing, and delicious food! I got a make your own sandwich- pastrami and cheese on a tomato wrap and heated. Fresh and so good it made my taste buds do a happy dance! They also have a variety of bagels with many flavors of cream cheese - something I've only really seen in NYC. I'm planning to get some to go for breakfast tomorrow. Don't skip this place when you pass by or if you are staying nearby! read more

Quick stop for breakfast with my son. They have a wide variety of bagels, as well as breakfast and lunch sandwiches that can be made with bagels or your choice of bread. My son chose the lowcountry breakfast sandwich on an Asiago bagel. It was delicious and piping hot! The Seattle Best coffee that is served is delicious too. I could tell that Island Bagel is a place that many locals frequent. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is bc the place could be cleaner, and the bathroom especially. read more

We ordered onion bagels with regular cream cheese. There was no shortage of cream cheese on the toasted bagels. Order at the counter and they bring them to your table. We also got bagels to take home. The onion bagels tasted fine, although the onion flavor wasn't that strong. Coffee was serve yourself. Service was fine. The restaurant was busy, with steady customers right after opening. read more

Island Bagel on Island has better service than the one in Bluffton. They offer outdoor seating however will not bring your food to those tables.You have to order, wait for your food and carry out yourself if you would like to sit outside. You may want to keep this in mind when you are tipping up front as you are expected to do here prior to even being served. If you want to eat outside you are the waiter. read more

The service is amazing and the food is delicious. I love this place The omelette bagel is to die for

Loving these homemade bagels!!! Soft on the inside with those delicious little bubbles on the outside with an amazing crunch. They have good sandwich suggestions and have pork roll/Taylor ham on the menu which I've never seen down south! Amazing prices as well. read more

I have been a customer of the Island Bagel Company for 4 Years. Every time I walk in I am greeted and immediately given amazing customer service. The Bagels are amazing and you can order from a very big selection of bagels. They offer an amazing menu that covers breakfast and lunch. I love the bagel with fresh Salmon and fresh onion on top. They offer great coffee and a wide selection of pastries . You can also buy various spreads for your bagels. I love the honey walnut spread. It should be noted I have traveled all over the world and the United States. The Island Bagel Company ranks high on my list of places to enjoy Bagels. This establishment rates five stars and more. In closing I certainly will be returning in the near future. Great customer service , very clean and plenty of tables to sit at. A must visit if you are in Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Beaufort and Savannah. read more

Usually a great place the bagel was good today but I'm really annoyed I guess they were having a bad day since they messed up someone else's order they took forever just to get me out today for my order. read more

I have been thinking about checking this place out for awhile now. I came last week and have been back twice since then. They have great lunch options and breakfast options...mostly sandwiches that can be on a bagel, croissant, or regular bread. They have many bagel options to choose from and their menu is versatile. You will definitely find something you love. I haven't tried the coffee here yet but it always smells delicious in here. I will be sure to try it out next time. Don't come here if you're in a rush because there are usually a few people in line. You can dine in or carry out. You have to order in line, seat yourself, and pick up your order when they call your number...So you won't have a waitress. There is a young brunette who always has the most welcoming smile when I come in. She works the register. Love that! I'm definitely adding this to my dining schedule. Thanks guys! read more

Island Bagel & Deli-Bluffton - Sandwiches Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

it's the best place for homemade bagels. but folks though they are boiled in water, there not bagels. there chewy rolls. i feel so bad for people who live here and think these are bagels. I got a 1/2 dozen and one plain cream cheese and med coffee. It was 18 bucks before tip. This is no real pizza or authentic Chinese food in the Low Country. We do have gouging prices. Why? Because we all have money? I worked hard to retire well off, we should stop paying high prices everything. We people are the reason we have inflation. read more

There was a long line when we arrived which one could assume meant the food was delicious. But, I was quite disappointed because the bagel was undercooked and the egg and veggies were not seasoned at all. read more

Love love love! My son and I usually grab bagel sandwiches Saturday mornings and then head to the park to enjoy. Everyone is super friendly and the bagels are super yummy! They've definitely got a repeat customer! read more

Best bagels! I'm from New York so I am picky when it comes to bagels and this is the best I've found down south yet!

This is the cutest bagel shop! They make everything fresh everyday, so come early for the best selection. They close at 2 so that's another great reason to come early. The bagels are so great. They are $1.10 a piece or $1 if you get 6 or more. They sell day old bagels for .50 cents a piece in a bag of 6 I think. My daughter and I came in for lunch on the way to Hilton Head for a day of thrift store shopping. Sydney has been here before and told me about it. She loved the place and said we had to check it out. She was right. It is great. There is a small outside sitting area that would be great for when the weather is bad or if you brought your dog. We both ordered the Mega Veggie on a bagel instead of the hoagie roll it comes on. I got the sun-dried tomato and she got the garlic. It comes with veggie cream cheese, avocado, black olives, cheese, lettuce, green peppers, banana peppers and sprouts. (You just never see sprouts anymore) It was amazing! We will definitely come in another time. read more

I like this place. I'm not a qualified bagel snob but I did live in NYC for 3 years so I appreciate a good sausageeggncheese. This place has them -- eggs and sausage taste fresh. Hate when you go to a place where the eggs and sausage are clearly microwaved and lukewarm. They also have Taylor Ham for those from NJ that are craving. read more

We stopped on our way out of town. It was very close to closing time, however the service was excellent. The bagels had that right consistency of crunch and chew. Selection was very nice. We also had a breakfast omelette on bagel... Delicious. Another great one to add to our list of places to go. Only advice really isn't a negative... When you order cream cheese you get a lot so you don't have to order for every bagel read more

Cute little sandwich and bagel shop. Fast service and the food was delicious. Staff is very nice. Coffee was amazing. Very clean and they have lots of options! Would definitely recommend! read more

What a hidden gem this place is. Those ladies work hard back there, and make great sandwiches in a jiffy.
