When I went to college over 20+ years ago, this was the hotspot for breakfast for most college students. Schmagel's was the bomb! You could eat inside or outside. However, this time when visiting during our college reunion, we decided to relive our college experience before heading to the airport. Upon arriving we realized you could only eat outside because they have blocked the inside during covid times. I understand the precautions but most places have opened up since the pandemic. I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich of the ham, egg and cheese on a Everything Bagel. The sandwich was warm and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches! I also ordered and ice coffee which was just okay. I'll always have a soft spot for this place. read more

The food was great However, hospitality is really not their thing. The only place I've been to where they won't serve you water unless you buy it. read more

Stopped by here unexpectedly for a quick bite. We ordered the Avo-Bac-ado sandwich on an onion bagel. Wow delicious! I think this was the bagel sandwich I've ever had! And certainly top 3 of best breakfast sandwiches ever. Bagel Sandwich is big enough to share. Recommend! read more

It's been a while since we stayed in town instead of just coming for the day. We wanted a quick place for breakfast, so we opted for the short walk from our AirBnB to this bagel place. First and foremost, the bagels are great. Happy for a whole wheat everything bagel option. We are surprised that they no longer have indoor seating. It was a chilly morning but we decided to eat on the outside patio rather than walk our food back to the place we were staying. The rise in prices was a bit shocking too, one of the more interesting bagel sandwiches was priced at $15.95. We both decided to go with a simple egg and cheese bagel, mine with scallion cream cheese and his with butter. Both were warm and delicious when they arrived but soon got cold due to the weather. My husband ordered a coffee but was disappointed in the taste. I opted for a bottled water. Not sure why, but when paying, the bill rounded up to the next whole dollar amount. Service was good and would have loved the outside patio as an option of the weather was warmer. read more

Bagels were awesome. What else can I say. I'm a basic bagel girl and feel grateful we got to try them before they sold out.

Tip - Dog friendly. Schmagel's Bagels is a great place to grab a cheap breakfast. My hubby and I were walking the streets of St. Augustine and walked by Schmagel's. They had already closed but we went back a couple days later for breakfast. It was around 8:30 a.m. on a Sunday when we got there and there were approximately 15 people in line ahead of us. I believe it would have been a lot more, however, it had rained just 15 minutes prior. Customer Service - A. Once we made our way to the door, we were immediately greeted. The process of ordering was smooth and we went back outside to grab a table on the patio and waited for our order. Food - B. I had the garlic bagel with jalapeno cream cheese. My husband had the onion bagel with the cheddar and garlic cream cheese. Both cream cheeses were delicious, very flavorful. However, we both thought our bagels were good, but nothing that stood out for either of us. Of course it may have been the selections we went with. Schmagel's is a great place for a quick, cheap breakfast if you are in the downtown St. Augustine area. read more

We came across schmagels bagels by accident while we were walking around. By the time we got there they only had 4 bagel flavors to pick from. I'm so happy we walked in! Staff was super friendly and suggested we add cream cheese to our breakfast bagels. It was SO good, I got the herb cream cheese with my breakfast bagel. Next time I'm in St Augustine I'm 100000% going back. Highly recommend you try! We were in and out in 20 minutes read more

My kids love bagels -- at 3 years old they demand and scream until I finally cave in. I get it! So when we were on a family vacation in St Augustine, I opened up yelp and found the nearest option. Bam, Schmagel'a Bagels it is! Service was efficient and friendly. Since it was the holidays, I could only order 3 loose bagels. And had to buy prepared bagels to go. No problem! I asked for 2 everything and 1 plain, toasted with regular cream cheese. They were delicious and tasted like you'd find in nyc. I'm knocking off a star since they forgot to toast all 3 bagels. But it was still very good. I'd come back again. They also serve a variety of coffee. read more

A gem hidden in the historic downtown district!!! Fresh. Huge bagels. Happy people. An absolutely delicious experience! Love finding local small businesses to support. Even happier when they are AWESOME!!! Schmagels Bagels for the win!!!!!! EDIT: I never read the reviews, I just googled and went. I was very happy and posted my above review. I then read other reviews. After reading the reviews, it is OBVIOUS that people have no idea what it takes to be a small business offering excellent, freshly made food, without wasting food..... The margin on restaurants serving food run thin and tight. Of course it is disappointing to have Schmagel's run out or not be able to sell you a dozen because you didn't pre-order, but that is NOT a reason to leave a poor review. Schmagel's Bagels food is EXCELLENT, and I stand by my original review. I add: if you want some of their great food: go early. They run out because people eat it all up! read more

Quaint small shop with delicious bagels. I got there at 10:15am and got one of the last bagels they had. By 10:30am they had put out a sign saying they ran out of bagels and were closed. I saw many people walk up and see the sign and leave disappointed after figuring out they were actually closed. Seems like you would make a few more bagels instead of running out at the peak of breakfast hours. I did pay $12 for a bacon, egg and cheese with jalapeño cream cheese on a garlic bagel, no drink or anything else. I guess they can afford to work half as much if you charge twice as much. The bagel was very good but this place seems like tourist trap with the price gouging. read more

This was definitely the best breakfast place I have ever been to. They have just about any and every flavor you can think of.

If you're craving a quality bagel and a pleasant morning, congratulations--you've found your new least favorite spot. I walked into this place thinking I was getting an everything bagel, not everything wrong with customer service. If you like overpriced bread and being treated like you're ruining someone's day just by existing, this is your spot. Otherwise, save yourself the headache and go somewhere that serves their bagels with cream cheese and a smile. read more

Great bagel! We recently moved down from Philly and were looking for a NY style bagel and this is the closest we've tried. We tried two bagels with cream cheese and a BEC bagel. The seasoning coverage on the bagels was perfect. Soft with a little chew. The breakfast sandwich could have done with more fillings but what was there was very good. The cream cheese bagels were appropriately smeared. Brownie points for the cute location and garden in the old town. Looks like they sell out on their specialty items on busy days so go early. Try it out and you won't be disappointed! read more

the BEST bagel place in Florida--hands down!!!!! This bagel restaurant is tucked in the downtown St. Augustine area and it's a must visit if you are making a trip to St Augustine!

I brought my spouse to St. Augustine for his first time and decided to walk him through the old stomping grounds. The recipes have not changed since I went to Flagler and I could not be happier that they have not changed! The first experience while on vacation, I sent my spouse over to Schmagel's while I got ready for our day's adventure. I used to order my bagel with two types of cream cheese, half and half, because they have so many good cream cheese flavors. Surprise! they still accommodate and did the cream cheese half and half. Absolutely delicious, just like I remember. On our last day, I decided I wanted to take a dozen bagels back home. I did make the mistake of not checking the website before we went. Once we arrived, I noticed in big letters on their menu that a bakers dozen has to be pre-ordered. Totally my fault for not checking beforehand, they are a small bakery. To my surprise, the owner was working and told me I could have 6 bagels (Thank the lord! 6 is better than 1). I was so happy to get to take home 6 bagels and pints of cream cheese. The owner was so kind that she blessed us with some muffins (also AMAZING) for being understanding. I know this is a super rave review over bagels, but they are incredible bagels with great flavors. My spouse now understands why I wouldn't shut up about bagels on our way to St. Augustine. He too is now a very big fan of Schmagel's. To the owner: We'll see you next time and thank you again for being accommodating, gracious, and hospitable! read more

Went here for breakfast. Although they have an interesting selection of breakfast bagel sandwiches, I just had a toasted blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. It was very good, and I enjoyed it. Service was pleasant and efficient. Customers order at the counter. Orders are then brought to the table. There are no tables inside, but there is a nice outdoor seating area. My major complaint is that they present a tablet payment screen that expects tipping before experiencing the service or food quality. read more

I went in this morning for the first time after hearing so many amazing things. As I was ordering they were patient and kind in making recommendations. I was having an awful morning and broke down into tears while ordering and they gave me a hug and reassured me everything will be okay and if I need a place to sit and eat or just get away I'm always welcomed. I truly didn't realize how badly I needed this kindness and the food truly was amazing. Will be back every time I'm in town and make sure my friends come too. read more

Perfect quick little breakfast spot. Although there is no inside seating, their patio is very inviting and a great spot to sit and enjoy every flavor of bagel you can imagine. We shared a lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel, which was so fresh and fabulous! I must say this had to been one of my favorite breakfast spots that we tried. They also made a pretty good cup of cold brew. I truly appreciate how kind and positive the staff was! A must try while site seeing in Saint Augustine! read more

Great bagels, great service will be back..cute outside sitting area & the service was great

I want to start off by saying this spot is a big vibe for a nook . I could spend an hour on their porch enjoying an amazing breakfast . I chose the ultimate lox on a whole wheat everything and I am more than happy this is the best bagel I have had in as long as I can remember. The quality of the ingredients was really good and fresh, and I grew up in a south Florida neighborhood with a lot of Jewish delis . Sorry to the nice lady at the register for giving you trouble with my order . **one thing I have to add is they did not ask if I wanted my bagel toasted , which I am used to . I wish I had it toasted . Bagel selection was on point and everyone in my group loved them ! read more

I was Bronx raised by a Jewish dad who knew where to find the best bagels. That was sixty years ago. I have been searching for genuine bagels with the same texture, smell, flavor and umph! of those Bronx bagels. I search no more. We LOVE Schamagel's for their bagels, their location, their owners and staff AND the doggie bacon for our poodle, who also LOVES Schmagel's. read more

Bagel Gem! They are soft, Delicious and tasty. Bagel sandwiches are made to order. Highly recommend the boars head ham, egg and cheese with cream cheese smear and cheddar bagel. Cold Cuts were soft and fresh. So good that we came back the next morning, brought friends and they were raving about the bagels too. The toffee iced coffee is delicious to. My mom is from New York and says you can't ever get good bagels in Florida but she said finally, when she had these. Support small and enjoy your breakfast here. Just get there early as the line gets long. They usually open at 8am. read more

Amazing bagels but be there early. They do not take phone or online orders and are usually sold out by 9-9:30. We were lucky to get bagels on our 2nd try as they are closed 2 days during the week. Super fresh ingredients and yummy cream cheese with lots of variety. Nice shaded outside seating area. read more

I ordered the lox & cream cheese on a sesame bagel, and it was New York level. They describe their bagel as Brooklyn style. The cold smoked nova salmon is divine, topped with capers, tomatoes, onions, and cream cheese. It is an excellent breakfast sandwich. Minus one star because there is no indoor seating. Service is prompt and friendly. I ran into The Dude yesterday morning, waiting patiently in line for an everything bagel. read more

My only regret is not finding this place sooner into the trip. Probably better I didn't since my trunks are already tight, but man these bagels are BUSSIN! We did a bagel sandwich with ham on poppy seed, an everything with onion and chive, and a cinnamon raisin with honey almond. We loved every one of them. I expected us to have a half or two left over for a later snack, but no way. They were so good we ate every last bite and waddled our way out the awesome patio back to the St Augustine shops. read more

This place is so good. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Workers are on point and always helpful. Bacon egg and cheese bagel with hot honey is always great. read more

Don't love the ordering system they have inside, also expect them to be out of a lot of flavors if you don't get here early enough but they make a great bagel for FL standards. I got an everything bagel with the works. Lox and scallion cream cheese. Fantastic. Also a really nice patio seating area. read more

We gobbled up our bagels before we took pictures! But I'm sure you know what a good bagel looks like My husband ordered the jalapeño cheddar bagel with scallion cream cheese. I ordered a Tuscan bagel with egg and cheese. The jalapeño one had whole peppers under the melted cheese so it was hot. Even my Tuscan bagel had a tad bit of umph to it. The owners were friendly and helpful. The coffee was good and hot. Our breakfast on the patio was comfortable and peaceful. Get here early if you want to try some of the more unique bagels as they do sell out fast! read more

Stopped by today for breakfast. It's a tiny place that can only have 4 customers in the building at once. All of the seating is outdoors. It seems to be popular with the local students. I liked my bagel but I wished they had a bigger selection of drinks and coffee. read more
