Tables hadn't been wiped and it felt like a warehouse or cafe. The food was poor at best and nearly unpalatable. I am a Jersey Girl so I expect Delis to be high quality--it wasn't. I would recommend Fratelli's in Apex if you are looking for Deli Fare.

The renovation is definitely nice but the food seemed like it was less than what it used to be (guess it's a trend with the cost of things). That with the price increases for two people to eat lunch was over $50. Maybe I'm just cheap My French dip sandwich had great taste and was more bread than meat. Fries were skimpy also. Chili was not something I'd order again. Still a great spot but.......its changed.

Eggs, bacon & dry toast.

| Overview (Based on experience from 4 visits)…read more + Fine amount of different bagels to choose from, including Garlic + Good variety of breakfast deli-style options other than their nice selection of bagels + Nice casual breakfast spot despite small dining area + Fast and friendly customer service + Reuben breakfast sandwich is delicious - Bagels are terribly hard to bite unlike Panera's, which is disappointing considering that NC Bagel has "Bagel" in its name. - Cost about $1 extra to add the Jalapeno Cheddar bagel in the half dozen or dozen order. - Drink selection is limited with combos. Restricted from choosing bottled soda of any of the fountain drinks. - Asiago bagel tasted Plain. I could barely taste the asiago. |Final Thoughts: There is almost no reason to choose NC Bagel over Panera or other bagel shops if you just want bagel. The hard texture is a huge letdown. I've never experienced this bagel issue in Breugger's, Panera, anywhere really. There are other breakfast options I haven't tried here so might be worth exploring but right now the only reason I'd return here is if I am craving for a Reuben sandwich for breakfast. And that mostly makes up the 2 stars I'm giving it. Really hope they improve the overall quality of their bagels. This breakfast deli spot has great potential to be "The Breakfast Spot" but it won't be able to accomplish that if their bagels are as hard as rocks. | Overall Score: 2.4/5

It tasted alright, but the structure made it a little tough to eat since the meat tended to fall out with each bite. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of depending on what you order. One big plus is that they offer French fries instead of defaulting to chips, which already sets them apart from a lot of similar lunch spots. My coworker got a salad and was really happy with it, especially since you can customize it with up to six add-ins. Overall, it's reasonably priced, and while nothing blew me away, it was a good enough experience that I'd give it another try.

Place has quite a few tables and is fun. Definitely will go back.

But don't let that stop you! This place is set up with lots of windows filled with plants, as well as lots of space for people. You place your order at a kiosk - they appear to have an extensive menu - and then pick up at a window. Very simple process and quick. I ordered a southern breakfast burrito - eggs, bacon, and a hashbrown wrapped in a tortilla. Twas delicious! Not too extensive a coffee menu - your simple drip coffee, latte, Americano, etc but good all the same. Well-priced too! For two lattes and two breakfast burritos we paid $22. The burritos were hefty and delicious. Good spot for a work meeting.

It's tucked away at the far end of an office building, so keep your eyes peeled or you'll miss it. I started with a lox sandwich and struck up a conversation with the owner. When I asked about the corned beef, I fully expected the standard "Boar's Head" answer you get everywhere else in the state. Instead, he told me they make it themselves. Sold. I paired the corned beef sandwich with a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda--a total nostalgia trip that brought me right back to my youth. The lox was a perfect breakfast, and the sandwich hit the spot for lunch later. Both were excellent. I'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend!

After a long flight and the usual airport chaos, I was heading back when I spotted Potbelly and…read moreimmediately knew I had to pull over. Something about being travel-hungry made one thing crystal clear: I needed a Wreck. And wow... this hit the spot perfectly. I ordered the A Wreck on multigrain, thin-cut, loaded with basically everything good in the house -- Genoa salami, roast beef, smoked ham, turkey breast, provolone, hot peppers, caramelized onions, pickles, cucumbers, artichoke hearts, roasted garlic aioli... the whole masterpiece. Every bite hit. The bread had that perfect warm toast, the meats were stacked generously, and the balance of tangy, savory, crunchy, and spicy was chef's kiss. The caramelized onions with the hot peppers especially took it over the top. Also grabbed a large Strawberry Dragonfruit refresher, which was ice-cold and ridiculously refreshing after airport chaos and North Carolina humidity. Exactly what I needed. If you're anywhere near RDU and debating a stop before heading home -- do it. This Potbelly absolutely delivered. The Wreck remains undefeated.

I received a confirmation email that my order had been received. When I called to see where my order was, I was given the Manager on the phone. He explained to me that the Credit Card didn't go through so they cancelled my order. No one ever called or sent an email saying the order was cancelled!! I could have easily provided another credit card! By now it was noon and I ended up running to Harris Teeter and picking up a dozen deli sandwiches, cookies, chips, and salad. It made for a hectic afternoon, but I saved nearly half what I would have spent at Potbelly and the food was just as good. What makes things even worst is that the manager didn't offer any sort of apology or offer a discount on my next catering order. I will NEVER order office catering from this location again!!

I ordered the…read morehummus wrap with beef, and it was honestly one of the better wraps I've had around here--fresh ingredients, good portion, flavorful hummus, perfectly seasoned beef, and a nice mix of veggies and feta that all came together without being soggy or skimpy. The side of ridged chips with a little cup of sauce was a nice touch too. For the price, it's excellent value; you feel like you got a full, quality meal without it breaking the bank. The service was outstanding--the young woman at the register was super friendly, helpful, and genuinely nice. She answered questions, made recommendations, and just made the whole experience feel welcoming. No rush, no attitude, just good people. The place itself is clean and comfortable, with unique indoor and outdoor seating options that feel cozy and relaxed. It's not fancy, but it's well-kept and has a nice vibe for eating in. Big bonus points for no tipping culture here--no awkward tip screen shoved in your face, no guilt-tripping prompts. I appreciate when a business pays their staff fairly and doesn't put that pressure on customers. It's refreshing and makes me want to come back even more.

It was fine, but nothing worth returning to if I were to revisit the area.

I'm pretty particular about bagels, and these absolutely hold up--great texture, a good chew, and generous toppings. They're perfect for grabbing a half dozen for the weekend (or to freeze for later), and they keep really well. They offer a solid lunch menu too. My husband is loyal to the Hungryman, which is massive and actually keeps him full for hours. One thing I really appreciate is that they don't skimp on the cream cheese with to-go orders, which feels rare these days. Overall, a reliable spot for a weekend treat or an easy brunch spread. The only reason it's not a full five stars is that I haven't experienced it in person yet--but based on the food alone, it's definitely worth checking out.
