Stopped by Jeff's Bagel Run in Blakeney to try it out and grabbed an asiago bagel with onion and chive cream cheese for breakfast. The bagel itself was decent, not bad at all, but nothing that really stood out either. It was served room temperature and not toasted, which I probably should have asked for since it was my first visit and I wasn't sure how they normally prepare them. It also wasn't cut all the way through, so I ended up finishing the assembly when I got back home. Flavor-wise everything was fine and the cream cheese was good, but overall it landed somewhere in the middle for me. Not bad by any means, just not something I'd find myself dreaming about later. Still worth trying if you're in the area, but next time I'd definitely ask for it toasted (if thats even a thing.. I'm not sure yet). read more

First time trying Jeff's Bagel Run and they did not disappoint. I placed my order on the app and everything was ready when I arrived bright and early at 6:30am. I ordered a dozen bagels and a flight of cream cheese. For my dozen bagels I ordered: 3) Cinnamon Sugar, (2) Cacio e Pepe, (2) Asiago, (2) Blueberry, (3) Lemon Blueberry. For my cream cheese flight I ordered: (1) Cookies & Cream, (1) Cannoli, (1)Cake Batter. The bagels all came sliced. I was more in love with the sweet than the savory bagels. I got the cheese savory bagels and after they cooled down the cheese separated from the bagels. It also was crunchy. I think I will stick to the sweet bagels in the future. I loved the cream cheese flight. Allows you to sample a few of their different options and it's good size amount of cream cheese however you probably need to get 2 if not 3 flights for a dozen bagels depending on how much cream cheese you like on your bagels. All in all great experience, delicious bagels and tasty cream cheese. Quick service and an effective app!

Jeff's Bagel Run is a solid spot for a fresh start to the day. The bagels came out warm, light, and fresh, definitely the highlight. Since it's pumpkin spice season, I had to try their latte, and it hit the mark without being overly sweet. The shop itself was clean and quiet, not too busy, which made the visit more enjoyable. Restrooms were well kept (a detail I always appreciate). Menus were placed a bit too high, so not the easiest to read at a glance, but once you figure it out, the options are worth it. Pricing is fair, and I liked that they offer a wide variety of spreads, which makes it easy to mix things up. Overall: fresh bagels, cozy vibes, and a good seasonal latte, just a couple small tweaks away from perfect. read more

Don't bother. Bagels are like eating a salt lick and you can get better and cheaper at a grocery store. $5 for something you can't eat is not a treat I would waste money on. They don't toast or add anything other than cut your bagel so in case you came in on Monday and wanted to save the 1 bagel you ordered for later that week. It's like a cheap hotel breakfast buffet- salt infused. Looks like they only allow positive reviews so hopefully this is posted read more

Anthony provided us with great service today! He knocked out orders for a very long line around 8:45am this morning. We ordered lavender-vanilla oatmilk lattes, rosemary salt, everything, cinnamon raisin bagel. I can throw around my NY/CT bagel decades long credentials like a lot of the other yelpers. Though I think we need to consider the Greater Charlotte Area for the "standard" down here. If you want NY bagels, make your own store and show NC how it's done, I'll come visit! This place does not boast for this style of bagel, so it shouldn't be held to the same standard. (Like going to Chicago for a NY pizza) For CLT area, it's my favorite- great salt content, good chew. And my over the top is the dairy free spread options this place provides. The spreads are big enough to fit on 2 bagels for my taste. I was lucky enough to have my everything bagel straight out the oven- and you can't beat that. Pro tip: on the app, you can get a fresh baked dozen ($22 for fresh baked to order, $17 for already made fresh from the bin) A note- I think another espresso machine will be needed down the line, wait for the coffee was long. read more

The bagels are amazing here and I love their options for cream cheese. I do wish they were able to offer sandwiches (like bacon, egg, and cheese) but for a bagel place that just offers cream cheeses with their bagels, I was super impressed! I will definitely be coming back. Everything is always super fresh and consistent! read more

Love Jeff's Bagel Run! Every Sunday evening they post the upcoming flavors for the week. My favorites are asiago, cinnamon raisin and sprinkles. The Ardrey Kell Men's & Women's team loves them too! Perfect carbs for our runners!!! ‍‍ read more

These bagels are elite -- soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Super fresh! The variety of flavors for the bagels are great and the variety and quality of the cream cheese is unmatched! I like that you get the cream cheese on the side to smear on yourself because I'm a huge cream cheese person and like to be generous with my application. read more

I ordered the asiago bagel with the vegetable cream cheese. The bagel was warm and the cream cheese was amazing. I will definitely return. The service was fast. I got my order to go. I really didn't look around because I was in a hurry, but everyone that walked in seem to know exactly what they want so it was a lot of return customers. One person was just ordering the coffee so next time I'll definitely add the coffee in. read more

I saw this place on IG and asked them if they had dairy free bagels (because most places don't) and they did! Made the 35 min drive to Jeff's and was blown away by the greatness. They have three types of vegan cream cheese and the blueberry bagel was perfect. A sweet crisp on the outside and a soft perfect doughy inside. Great vegan cream cheese too! Plus they are so friendly and made sure to ask how everything was when I left. 10/10 I also got bagels to go so of course I had them for breakfast today. Thanks everyone! I'm glad you moved down from NY! read more

I'm obsessed with this place and have been 2x since they opened last week. First time I got: 3 bagels- cacio e Pepe, rosemary salt, cheddar onion (bagel of the day) ** all were perfectly soft, nothing you would break your tooth on lol I got 3 spreads -- a flight! Espresso (limited time), roasted jalapeño, cannoli. I quickly realized I didn't pick the best pairings but it didn't matter. All bagels and spreads were amazing and so fresh! The setup is very quick because they are not making any sandwiches and honestly-- I don't miss it. When you concentrate on the quality and variety of fresh bagels and cream cheese- you are rarely are missing the latter. The pricing-- AMAZING. I was able to get 3 bagels, a flight of spreads (3) , and a large cold brew for under $13! Not to mention that the spreads can be enough to cover 2 bagels. Can't wait to keep coming back-- make sure to follow them on instagram, they are posting their bagels of the day!! read more

I love Jeff's Bagel Run, probably the best bagels in Charlotte. They have a chewy outside shell and soft and warm on the inside. Great texture. I love their options of bagels and cream cheeses. I got the salt bagel with veggie cream cheese today, so good! I also got the banana bread latte today and it was amazing. read more

I love everything they have!!! The everything bagel and veggie cream cheese are my favorite.

Very disappointed. A bagel with butter and a coffee for $8.50, with tip, almost $10. They give you a cup of butter which is for about 3 bagels and charge you $2.25. They don't butter the bagels for you. They give you the butter and a wooden knife fir you to do it yourself. They don't make your coffee. You have to do that yourself also. The bagel was ok, and the coffee was ok, but not worth $10. Will never go there again. read more

Bagels are always hot and fresh! And to be a " bagel shop" they honestly have the best iced mocha latte I've found! A definite favorite and always get great service and a clean, friendly welcoming environment ! I eat here as a customer quite often but also do deliveries through Uber and I'm always treated well and receive great service! read more

Woah these are hands down the best bagels in the Charlotte area! They're made fresh, they're soft and chewy on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside and the cream cheese choices are awesome! It's a trek from our house but worth the drive 100%! read more

Our son, who lives in Charlotte, brought six bagels and three cream cheeses home for breakfast this morning. What I tasted was excellent! We talked about trying different bagels and cream cheeses on our next trip - not because of problems, but because we were so pleased with our purchases. My coffee was also excellent. read more

$8 for a cold, raw bagel and smear is ridiculous. Toasting is not offered. Bagels were mediocre & staff was unfriendly.

Well we won't be back. They charge $5.14 for a single plain buttered bagel. They don't even butter it for you. You have to do it yourself. And they then have the gall to ask for a tip. Way overpriced. There's a couple other bagel stores close by that taste much better and cost less. read more

Greetings fellow Yelpers - This is another review from your "Baby Boy" - I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I spent $30.00 USD on a "Box" of a Dozen - "Frozen Bagels" & 2 Ice Coffees & a Tiny Cup of Cream Cheese; - My Wife could not wrap her head around the fact that "The Establishment" lacked the capacity to "Shmear" the Cream Cheese on to the Bagel; - I really tried to preemptively prepare her. Nevertheless, I wanted to give this place a try and to confirm my suspicions; The Bagels are "Machine Made" & simply "Devoid" of any "Love" in them. I like the "Open Bagel Bakery" Set Up - Its Cute, lots of employees pretending to be busy and just not getting anything done. Nevertheless, the "Unsophisticated" Ballantyne Crowd is entertained for now and this so called Bagel Shop, in its infancy, was hoping. I don't suspect they will be around for the long term future, unless they evolve their entire concept and product. As suspected, the shelf life of the bagel is a few hours - We picked up a Dozen at around Noon and by 7PM tonight - The Bagels had Cardiac Arrested and must be disposed of. Jeff's Bagel Run seems more interested in its process than bagels. I did like that nifty Bagel cutting machine. Not for me. Won't be back! So, I spent the afternoon feeling ripped off and my wife was furious that she couldn't enjoy a Bagel with Cream Cheese for the car ride home to our "Food Desert" of a neighborhood. Ballantyne, nonetheless is lovely. Grade D- read more

I've stopped here a few times now before work, and the bagels and coffee are pretty good.

I pre-ordered my family's bagels and only had to pick them up on my way to my daughter's home. They looked fantastic and tasted equally fantastic. My favorite bagels . read more

Sent my significant other for a bagel run and he was NOT impressed. The level of customer service was lacking. He was not greeted. The coffee is not hot and he would have had to wait 20 minutes for hot coffee. He was told they'd get to the coffee when they can. So we're off to looking for a new spot for bagels. read more

Just had my first experience at this bagel joint. Overall the food is fine but...I probably have been to 50 or more bagel joints in my life and I don't think I've ever been in a bagel shop that does not have the ability to toast your bagel. I don't get that at all. It totally changes and enhances the flavor of the bagel. I also haven't been to a bagel joint in years that doesn't offer a honey walnut or honey almond spread. Like Panera, they give you a bagel cut in half a cup of cream cheese and a wooden knife to spread yourself. I think set up to go in and order a bunch of bagels a bunch of cream cheese and take everything home. Pull out your toaster and prep your own bagel. read more

I had the fantastic opportunity to go behind the scenes at Jeff's Bagel Run in Blakeney Town Center. Jeff's story is as endearing as his bagels are delicious: what began in Orlando, Florida, as a small, home-based venture during the pandemic (thanks to his wife's bagel cravings) quickly turned into a local sensation. That humble "bagel run" blossomed into a growing business, expanding beyond Orlando to new locations, including this Charlotte spot. Jeff's Bagel Run specializes in New York-style bagels, homemade cream cheeses, and hand-crafted coffee, roasted by Jeff's neighbor-turned-business partner, who crafted each coffee recipe with as much dedication as Jeff puts into his bagels. I captured a video of their bagel-making process, which spans two days to achieve that perfect texture. After a full day of proofing, each bagel is boiled at 210°F and then baked for 9-10 minutes, depending on the flavor. Fresh batches are baked throughout the day, and if you pre-order through their app, they'll even boil and bake your bagels fresh to order for pickup. Jeff's keeps it simple and focused, offering fresh bagels with their homemade cream cheeses--no sandwiches here. However, you can grab a classic to-go box with lox, capers, tomato, and onion. With limited seating, most guests take their fresh bagels home, and parking is convenient, making pickup easy. These bagels are the closest I've tasted to true New York-style bagels, with the ideal balance of a slightly crispy crust and a soft, chewy center. Today, I sampled a rosemary salt bagel with chive & onion, Asiago with roasted-jalapeño cream cheese, a cinnamon sugar bagel with cinnamon sugar cream cheese, and a salt bagel with cookies and cream cream cheese. Each pairing was absolutely spot-on. They offer a fantastic lineup of homemade cream cheese flavors, including plain, banana pudding, brown sugar cinnamon, cake batter, cannoli, chive & onion, cookies and cream, espresso, hot sauce, strawberry, vegetable, vegan plain, and whipped butter. As for bagels, flavors range from plain Asiago, asiago everything, cacio e pepe, and blueberry to cinnamon sugar, cinnamon raisin, everything, poppy seed, sesame, jalapeño cheddar, salt, onion, rosemary salt, and seasonal specialties. Jeff's Bagel Run is a must-visit for anyone craving that classic NYC bagel experience, now here in Charlotte. read more

Amazing bagels! I got the Asiago everything and it was amazing and so fresh also great variety of spreads read more

Great bagel. Nice assortment. It's a take out place. There are a few seats. I think the concept is buy your bagel and take it home and make it the way you want. Why slam them for not toasting your bagel? Shocked someone would spend 30 minutes writing a review because they didn't like the concept. I'll be back for my bagels. read more

I thought I'd try a true bagel shop but I was disappointed. The bagels are first of all, pricey. Second, they were tasteless. I wish I would have gone to Wegmans instead. read more

First time was picking up 6 free bagels. After reading some of the reviews I was skeptical. But when I saw them they looked so big and delicious I hoped they would be just as good. Not disappointed!!! They were the best bagels I have had. I've had bagels in NY and these were better by far. I have sung their praises to my friends and family. Good job Jeff's Bagel Run. I will be back. read more

Their bagels are great! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. But my favorite thing is their coffee!! I get an iced oat milk latte with one pump of caramel and it's maybe my favorite in Charlotte!! (and I've tried just about everywhere!) Very good quality, flavorful coffee! read more

Manager was yelling at employees and being rude. I feel bad for the people working there. Also the bagels were cold and hard.

Jeff's bagels are always made fresh and delivered warm in store. Just the right amount of chewiness. I'm particularly happy that they make their own vegan cream cheese and it's the best I've found. read more

I was so excited to get a local bagel place after the Bagel Bin closed,. The Bagel Bin had consistently good bagels (for NC) but inconsistent service that turned customers off. Since moving here from NY I significantly adjusted my bagel standards accordingly but these might be the worst bagels I have had. Rubbery, doughy and overall bad. I'm sorry to report this because I wish to support local businessowners but the bagels were just really bad. read more

When it comes to NY style bagels - let me just say I was born and raised in NY and these don't compare. Not the bagels we so bad, but when you go into a bagel store and order a bagel with cream cheese you expect the cream cheese to be put on the bagel. If you're driving, how do you put the cream cheese on your bagel?I ordered a cinnamon sugar bagel and there was no sugar on it. I asked for brown sugar cinnamon cream cheese and the cream cheese was almost liquid. Slid right off the bagel. Prior I had asked what the vegan cream cheese was made of and the employees had no idea. I'll go the extra mile to Bagel Nation. read more

Top new bagel place in Charlotte - across from Blakney off Rea Rd . Busy at Soft opening just incredible bagels. Soft and tasty! Got 18 first visit - cant wait to get more . Lots of Savory- Caci de Pepe was great, Jalapeño Cheddar just wonderful! Loved the Everything Bagel ! Cream Cheese is good- a little too whipped for me - You wont believe how good these Bagels are ! read more

Good service good bagels and coffee the chive and onion spread on a salted bagel hits the spot..,,,

They have an online app to order ahead of time. Ordered from home and was given 5 minutes for pick up. Arrived 10 min later and wasn't ready. Waited 20 more to try and be nice before interrupting someone since they were busy. My order ticket was just sitting on the counter while they ran thru walk in customers. Don't advertise online and give a pick up if you are not going to have it ready. Whole Foods bagels are just as good and will not get pissed off while just trying to get breakfast. read more
