Big Apple Bagels

Absolutely amazing! I wish I lived closer I'd be in every day!

First time visit. Will definitely go back

Great place, friendly people, has a BOOK EXCHANGE!

Food was pretty good, but we waited 30 minutes for 3 bagels which was pretty rediculous. I'm a restaurant manager so there were a few things I noticed. As far as I can tell there was only 3 15 year old girls in the kitchen (who haven't yet learned the sense of urgency needed in a restaurant) trying to keep up with the post-fourth of July rush. We watched a couple of them get beverages in the middle of the rush as we waited for our food. It seemed like there was a lack of a trained supervisor there to monitor ticket times, make sure orders were going out correctly and to generally lead the young women in the kitchen. There was also no music playing. Overall I think there just needed to be a manager ensuring everything went smoothly.

The bagel sandwiches are as simple but still better than a Starbucks or Caribou pre made sandwich. The muffins are even better cause they also have better options and they don't have that machine oily "out of the box machine made" feel. I believe this place is ready to take on the Starbucks and Caribou for a position as a better cafe hangout. One could even get fancy coffee drinks.

They simply are consistently good....kind and attentive staff

The girls were a little uppity but otherwise it was great great food!!

Awesome experience there. Went in for a pumpkin spice coffee and got a muffin (strawberry cream cheese) and the most amazing sandwich ever. It was a turkey club on their garlic parmesean roll (can't quite remember the specific name of the roll though, ha). Best decision for lunch ever! The awesome gal at the counter was so nice and welcoming! Will definitely be back for delicious goodies! Thank you again!

My bagel was “toasted” and it was still cold on the inside, the egg was microwaved and smelled about as bad as it tasted, and was covered with a slice of overly processed cheese. Nothing about this meal was fresh as advertised. The bagel was overly grainy and did not any sort of crust, or chewy quality (as you would find in a good bagel). It was like eating a cold, piece of dough. 😭
I also had a bagel with cream cheese, and was equally disappointed. The bagel had the same problems as the last, but the creme cheese was way too sweet, overly processed and disgustingly colored with food dye. I have had a way better bagel from the refrigerator aisle at the grocery store. Just grab bagels from the store and Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and you will be much happier.
I was so excited to get a bagel this morning, and just am sadly disappointed. The best thing they had to offer was a good cup of coffee. I liked the coffee...

If you want something other than burgers in Bemidji, I definitely recommend trying big apple bagels. They have a full menu of sandwiches to choose from. We rarely leave without a box of muffins
