Bagels are exactly like NY bagels !!!! Everything is delicious, service is quick and polite. Cute little bagel spot

Best bagels around along with great service! Never had anything bad from there. They also always give my dog treat every time I go through the drive through window. Just exceptional all the way around. Truly a great local place! read more

Great quick breakfast for those on the run and short on time. Highly recommend the sausage egg and cheese on everything bagel. read more

The bagels here are delicious! This little bagel shop is tucked away in a shopping complex on 17 in Hampstead. We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and it was packed. The fresh bagels are on display and we got a half dozen to take back to Raleigh. It is hard to find fresh bagels and the flavor and price of these really taste like NY. I loved the everything bagel and also the poppy seed. My niece loved the blueberry bagel. You can order sandwiches on bagels or croissants or bread. For lunch, I had the tuna salad on rye toast and it was one of the best tuna sandwiches I have had. My mom had the roast beef on a bagel and loved it. They serve Boar's head lunchmeat and it is cut fresh. My brother had a lox bagel with cream cheese and capers and said it was delicious. The staff is very friendly and I love supporting local businesses like this. Hats off to the master baker, Stefan and team! read more

See all

Almost 20 years ago this was my regular stop. I was thrilled to see they are still going strong when we came back for a visit. One bite of that delicious jalapeño bagel toasted with cream cheese and I swear I was 23 years old again! And the coffee! Love it! read more

Great bagel long wait time. I guess that is how it goes with the morning rush but it was worth the wait. The everything bagel or the sourdough were our favorites. Having a drive thru is nice even if it took a while to get thru it do to the heavy morning demand. Staff is friendly. Give it a try. read more

Several different types of bagels. I like the sausage, egg & cheese on a jalapeno bagel - always good. Friendly staff. I get one to go as few times a month. read more

The family and I have been here a few times. We've walked in for a to go order as well as dine in. The service has always been pretty good and the bagels are delicious. We especially enjoy the salmon bagel. Our son always orders the everything bagel. The coffee is just your average coffee, but does not disappoint. Who doesn't like coffee and a bagel?! I've gone through the drive thru when I noticed there wasn't a wait(very rare) and the service was fast. There are some reviews mentioning the wait times, but we've had no real issues. We will continue to eat here on occasion. Give it a try! read more

Could you please, please consider not filling one order at a time at a drive thru that you are trapped in one you enter? Forty five minutes before I could bail out. Ruined my day. Maybe a warning sign next to the pawn shop at the other end of the building? Surely I am not the first person who got screwed this way and brought it to your attention - do you care? read more

This bagel was perfectly toasted on the outside and soft on the inside, a perfect crunch when you bite into it and it melts in your mouth, it was scrumptious. This place beats every bagel store nearby hands down read more

I love this place. I've had a few different sandwhiches on different bagels now. Their onion bagel, garlic bagel, sun dried tomato bagel, and everything bagel are amazing. I got the breakfast, Rueben, lox, pastrami, and grilled cheese bagel. I want to stop every time i pass this place. read more

They had excellent service and was very polite. The food was great. Cool and cozy spot to hang out in.

Delicious and inexpensive! I live about 15 mins away and it's totally worth the drive. Yes, at times it is crowded and you will have to wait, but that is just a testament to how awesome the food is-- everyone wants it! For the person who was complaining about the bagels only having stuff on top, aside from jalapeño, cinnamon raisin, or blueberry, I have only seen the toppings on top. I'm a northeasterner...home of the NY bagels so that's pretty much the standard. read more

Great local bagel shop serving every type of bagel you can think of. Super fresh, and great service! Rivals the New York City shops easily, at a much better value. Love this place! read more

The Bagel Bakery - Lox Bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hampstead, North Carolina

This place is a little off my regular beaten path, but a wonderful place to stop for a fresh bagel or sandwich. They can be super busy on the weekends as expected for any place, so be prepared for a little wait - it will be worth it. Most days you can call ahead for your order and it's ready and waiting for you when you get there. The staff is all friendly, Hell the patrons are all friendly as well. Ready with a smile to take your order and modify it if needed. So easy they make you feel like family and it's so appreciated! After my stop in there yesterday I can no longer say their bagels are my absolute favorite. It's a toss up between the tuna sammy and the toasted everything bagel with veggie cream cheese tomato and ham. Who can be made to choose between these things? I'll just keep working my way around the menu but these are standouts in my book!! Now I want to make a run out there tomorrow morning for a bagel! Not going to happen, but they'll be on my mind for my next trip that way! Plenty of room to dine in, easy take out ordering, benches out front if you want to watch the traffic go by as you munch. Oh and they make their tea fresh daily. Perfection! read more

Stephan makes the best bagels. I prefer this type that are not dense. All sandwiches and dressed bagels are top of the list. Chicken salad is the best in Hampstead. Fresh cut Boarshead deli meats are great also. Service is well above the normal, employees are all about EXCELLENT customer service. This is a "must stop" in Hampstead. read more

Fresh bagels daily. Good quick breakfast to go or to dine in. Breakfast sandwiches are great. Lunch is great.

Bagels are so soft and fresh, egg bagel sannies are amazing! Love this place and they aren't over priced like big chain bagel shops.

The best bagels south of New York! You know a place is great when it's been around as long as this Hampstead location. My favorite bagel is their everything bagel, it's like eating a soft pretzel. Kaiser rolls and Boars Head deli, every sandwich comes with a kosher dill pickle spear. The service is always friendly and efficient. They also have a drive through window, if you're as lazy as I am and prefer to wait in your car, rather than standing in a line inside. I will definitely eat here again and highly recommend. read more

Best bagels in Hampstead and Wilmington. Fast service and everyone has great attitude.

So nice to have a good bagel place nearby. Staff is nice and they have enough people for the daily rushes. Been going for over a decade and quality has never wavered. read more

I have been here many time for lunch as well as had their catered breakfast and lunch. They have a good variety of bagels and pastries and the cream cheese choices are many. They have good soups. They also run a special daily. Thursday is Bagel Dog Day! This is a favorite for me. A Boars Head Hotdog comes wrapped in a sesame seed, everything or plain bagel. You do have to order early because they most often run out. They use Boars Head Meats for their sandwiches as well. They offer a yummy chef's salad. All prices are very reasonable. The service is fast, polite and well done! read more

Went Sunday morning. First impressions were not great. Waited for about 20 minutes for a egg and cheese bagel. They microwave their eggs, which made me nervous about how it was gonna taste. I was going they were not runny . However when we finally got our order I was pleasantly surprised. The bagel was AWESOME and the coffee was also really good too . I'll definitely give them another shot and hopefully I want have to wait as long for my order. read more

This place reminds me of New York! The bagles are amazing and they have a drive through! The pumpkin cream cheese in the fall is to die for and will make your bagle taste like cheese cake! read more

Disappointed by the Taylor ham egg and cheese. They will not fry the egg and only have premade omelet like egg they put on it. Bagels are good though read more

Had a breakfast sandwich with a plain bagel, very tasty and quick service. Would definitely come back to try other menu items.

Very slow. They need to either make a 2nd window for orders and keep the other for pick up, or make the drive thru for for call in orders only. Even if you go inside, you wait 15 min plus for a bagel. But the drive thru? 20 min on a good day The eggs... are microwaved. Literally they pour the egg into a plastic dish and nuke it with a tub of precooked bacon probably from when they opened up for the day. Who knows- that's probably microwaved top. After waiting 20 min today, I gave up to walk in. But there was no parking. And when I got in, the line was 10 people deep. Forget it. Now I'm late to work read more

I could eat their sundried tomato bagel every single day. They're so good. Seriously, you can't go wrong getting anything from here. I love the lox bagel too. read more

Wonderful little gem here in Hampstead! Get there early in the weekends to get in line! Or CALL AHEAD and swing through the Drive through for pick up! Delish! read more

Best bagels in NC! We love this place so much! Lots to choose from and everyone leaves happy and full. Cream cheeses are delicious! Bagels are always fresh! People are so friendly here, love it! read more

Waited almost a half hour for a bagel with egg and bacon. It was busy and there isn't any real good space when your waiting. The bagel had so much salt on it that it was almost inedible. Skip the everything bagel if this is standard! I had an egg and bacon included and it was good. Service was good but, it seemed like they were struggling to keep up with the patrons. They ran out of cream cheese and a lady looked like she was about to lose her stuff but in her defense I think she was waiting for a while. She was clearly upset. I wasn't impressed and honestly probably more fuss for what it was worth for it. It's affordable but patience is key. If you have the time to kill and have no commitments then go for it. My sandwich was only $3! Great price but..... 30 minutes waiting for a bagel sandwich is painful. They do have a drive thru. Parking is limited in the front. read more

I have to say that place is amazing. I didn't want to do a review, because I am afraid it will drive too much business here, and I won't be able to get these bagels when I want. I am from NY and I can tell you that these are authentic. The staff is awesome as well! read more

We tried this place for the first time last weekend. It was a small place but not super crowded which is exactly what we wanted. All our usual places have long waits because of all the tourists. I got the jalapeño bagel and veggie cream cheese. It was amazing, my husband got a breakfast sandwich on the French toast bagel and it was delicious too. We were so impressed we walked back up to the counter and got a dozen of various flavors for the week. I was most impressed with the pumpernickel. Needless to say we will be coming back! read more

Bagels and cream cheese are delicious. But if you don't like a ton of cream cheese ask them to go light. Would like a darker roast coffee but what they have is good. Very friendly and great place to eat! read more

We love this place and the only reason I'm giving 4 stars is they left out a sandwich when I went through the drive through. I did not realize this until I got home so I called up there and let them know. They knew who I was because they made the sandwich but forgot to put it in my bag. No worries but when I asked them to refund my card for the sandwich they said they would but never did. Other than that problem it's one of my favorites. I absolutely love their chicken salad and potato salad yum! read more

This place is GREAT! The food is perfect, but the service and the kindness of the employees are top notch, as well! I left my wallet in the deli and they found another customer to deliver it to me ASAP, after finding myself stuck without it!!! I always stop in when I am passing through Hampstead. ALWAYS! It's preplanned and expected by my husband and family! read more

It's Memorial Day, , I've been waiting in the drive through line for over 30 minutes and I'm still not close to the window. The design of the drive through stinks, I'm stuck in line. If you don't have the capacity or staff to handle the orders then close the drive through. This is ridiculous. It doesn't matter how good the bagels are, it isn't worth a 30 to 45 minute wait. read more

After hearing about this place from some neighbors we stopped in to grab some takeaway breakfast. This will be the last time for picking up any egg sandwiches from here. The reason is they are using microwave ovens and plastic bowls to cook the eggs. A bit of a toxic and cheep way to cook the eggs. Also this is not associate to the bagel bakery out of California which some of the sites link it to. The menu here is pretty limited in terms of breakfast sandwiches. Basically, bacon or sausage, egg and American cheese. read more

I have never been disappointed in this place! Very quick, affordable, and delicious food! Bagels are always fresh and the staff is always warm and friendly. Love the bagel bakery! read more

Love their bagels! They are the best I have eaten! Plus their croissant sandwiches are huge and delicious! We drive out here from Oak Island every few weeks for breakfast. It's well worth the trip! read more
