“ The bagels and toppings are top notch: fresh and great variety. The coffee options are a little slim but certainly adequate for a bagel shop. The atmosphere is cozy but sometimes a little chilly. Overall, it is a wonderful asset to the SML restaurant options. ”
“ I walked in today on my lunch break to get the chicken salad that I have been jonesing for all week! The girl at the counter crushed my hopes and dreams when she told me they were out. However.... I asked for a recommendation and she suggested "the Booker T" and let me tell you.... that sandwich was DELICIOUS! Today was the 3rd time I have been here and it has never disappointed! Definitely my favorite go to ”
“ The BEST! My new favorite place at the lake. The cutest atmosphere, friendly staff, and incredible bagels! I got the cheddar bagel with red pepper/garlic schmear and it was perfect! I love their Godly message and Christian music, it makes me love it even more. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you so much! ”
“ First off, I love that they have online ordering. It makes running in and grabbing food a quick task in the middle of a busy day! Second, the staff is super nice, friendly, and even helped me make decisions when I can’t figure out which bagel I want ha ha. Third, the bagels are literally so amazing!!!! I’ve always been a bread queen but I’ve never stuffed so many bagels in my face before. I’ve never had food for dine in, but it is in a convenient location and I’ve always been able to get parking! ”
“ If your ordering an egg bagel, it's not fast food quick, but the trade off is top quality ingredients. And at best, the wait is 10 minutes for an armory of bagels! We visit this place every weekend we're down. Pleasant customer service. Good price. Quality ingredient. Easy to get to. ”
“ Fresh bagels and lots of options for toppings/ sandwich styles. Very sweet folks working there. Seating outside to listen to birds while you enjoy bagels and coffee. Highly recommended ”
“ Not just another bagel place, the Bagel & I is exceptional. We were greeted by the owners who are friendly, helpful, and chatty as you care to be. The bagels (we tried plain, cheddar cheese, and pumpernickel...which was dark and wonderfully rich) are delicious and very much New York style. The menu is thorough without being overwhelming. The schmears (the three of us all had different flavors: plain, red pepper/garlic, and honey walnut) were fabulous. We grabbed a couple tubs to go and a bag of day olds which felt just as fresh as today made. Will definitely be a regular breakfast and lunch favorite. Thank you so much, Andrew and Kim! ”
