Just fine?

Had been wanting to try for a while as I love a good, fresh bagel. Plus, so happy at the inclusion of a vegan cream cheese & vegan sausage! They could do better by making one vegan sandwich or the one veggie sandwich option that they do have automatically vegan instead of vegetarian made vegan with subtractions/substitutions. One baked good made vegan would be great. Overall, the sausage was not good enough to get again and the cream cheese was just ok. The sesame bagel was missing something?? Salt? Chewyness? The seasonal lemonade was fresh & very good! Oh, one cashier was nice & offered a free cookie since the food “took so long”, but I declined as I knew it’s not vegan. Also, they should only do takeout after 3pm as they start cleaning the kitchen & dining area for closing at 3:30pm.

Pros: Strawberry lemonade , A few vegan options , Parking

Cons: Food just ok, Price too high for what you get , Inconsistent customer service

Not my fave

We went here for bagels with vegan cream cheese and to be honest, it wasn’t the best. The cream cheese had a weird sweet flavor to me, but my boyfriend really liked it! So you can always give it a try yourself to see if it suits your taste. I’m always grateful for vegan options, this just wasn’t it.

Pros: Good location, Variety of bagels

Cons: Vegan cream cheese is sweet, No flavored vegan cream cheese

A+ bagels and good vegan cream cheese

I come here all the time and order the everything bagel with vegan cream cheese. I love finding a bagel spot with vegan cream cheese and theirs is very tasty.

Best bagels in the Triangle

Authentic bagels, unlike those terrible white bread donuts they sell at the national chains. Nice selection of bagel varieties and shmears. Fast, friendly service. So glad they made downtown Chapel Hill their home.

Great veggie bagel sandwich

I got the veggie sandwich on a plain bagel and made it vegan by ordering with no feta and no cream cheese, sub vegan cream cheese and it was one of the best bagel sandwiches i’ve ever had. It does come with hot honey but i left that on because i still eat honey
