Delicious and savory breakfast bagel! I got the Empire Egg Sandwich with bacon on the garlic and cheese bagel. The service was helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back!

My go-to breakfast place in Thomasville. Very affordable food items available which is surprising considering its close proximity to downtown. I love their Empire Egg Sandwiches which offers the most bang for your buck if you want something that will fill you up for the least amount of money. The restaurant is themed after a bagel shop in New York and it’s my little slice of the north down here. The atmosphere is wonderful inside with places to watch the workers make the bagels and murals of New York City on the wall. I wish they had a restaurant in Valdosta!

The food is pretty good, indeed the only bagels in Thomasville. The quality of service is lacking though, there is one employee who is consistently angry and aggressive when interacting with customers.

Seriously the food’s amazing,the bagels are our favorite but the service is the slowest in town. We waited 30 minutes for 2 bagels and there was only a couple people in the store.. very disappointed and it made us late for our meeting.

Stopped here on a whim one make ing as we were heading out of town. It was amazing! Bagels are fresh and not hard. We wished we had tried it sooner! It was really busy during the time we went, so if you are in a real hurry, it’s not a quick grab and go, unless you catch it during a time when very little people are waiting.

I am of NY Jewish descent (the inventors of the bagel) and grew up in NY near NYC. I will say, it is nice to find a real bagel in GA. I say real bagel because you can tell they are actually boiled before they are baked and taste good. But the bagels are good, not great. The flavor is 100% there but the texture is off. The outside is a bit too soft and inside is a little off. I suspect that the bagels need to be boiled a little longer as they feel about halfway between a roll and an actual bagel (which has more in common with a pretzel than a roll). So in conclusion: solid 4 stars for outside NY (would be 3 stars in NY) as they taste good and are beyond the “roll with a hole” that most places outside NY try to pass off as a bagel. A little more refinement on the texture (probably needs more boiling prior to baking) and these would be truly worthy of being called NY style bagels!
