Good bagels and sandwiches. High quality soups too. I like to get the Southern Tradition with bacon and cheddar on a toasted everything. The egg is quite fluffy and a little dry but the bacon, cheese, and bagel are great so it’s fine. I get this sandwich at least once a week and I love it. Though, the best bagel sandwich is when you buy their everything bagel, make your own bacon and over medium fried egg and Sargento smokehouse cheddar. Great place for breakfast and lunch.
Had a northern omelet and a mocha iced espresso. Both were fantastic, prices were decent (on par with other bagel places, though I felt like this sandwich was bigger than I normally get), and we got our food fast. I particularly like the iced coffee, and the everything bagel I got my sandwich on was very well seasoned. Well definitely stop in the future when were looking for a quick breakfast in the area.
Great bagels, huge amount of cream cheese (about 6-10 flavor profiles too), quick service, and the lattes are pretty tasty too! I havent had the bagels here since I used to get them from my work on Tuesdays (aww I miss those days) and they always have been very fresh and very tasty
Good place to get a bagel or sandwich. Small place and crowded but pretty good food.
Best bagels in the area. Chewy with a nice crust. Scallion cream cheese was also great
The bagels were decent. I threw the coffee away; it was like drinking brown coffee-flavored water. Their customer service leaves much to be desired. They didn’t give us napkins or a knife, forgot our cream cheese, and did not slice nor toast our bagels. I felt like I was inconveniencing them.
Best bagels and cream cheese. Personal favs are blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese and salt bagel with scallion cream cheese. I dont eat muffins but my daughter loves the muffins and bagels too.
Their breakfast sandwich sucks they don’t even put cream cheese on their bagels this is an abomination.
One of my favorite places for breakfast food. Just know they go heavy on the cream cheese, but I always ask for light cream cheese and it’s the perfect amount! Try the cheddar herb bagel with veggie cream cheese!
I absolutely love this place but hate the fact that they are out of muffins before 10AM daily....... Make more muffins please!
Im so used to the Mt. Pleasant Big Apple just blowing me away that this Big Apple really pales in comparison. The staff..do their jobs and thats it. They dont seem like morning people. The staff if Mt P make conversation with the customer and with each other and its overall a good vibe. Here I feel like any extra comment I make is annoying to them. She hands me my coffee and I say thanks, and she just goes yup. I cant even get a have a good day?
You can never go wrong with any of the bagels, and the coffee flavors are always good. Highly recommend going here for a pick-me-up and change of pace from your usual coffee routine.
Best everything bagel period!
Great spot for bagel sandwiches. Sometimes the wait is super long and the cashiers could be a bit more friendly. I still dig it. This is the only Big Apple in town!
Great breakfast sandwich!
Need more AM staff. If I call ahead and my order is already complete, I shouldnt have to stand behind a line of people to pay for it. Whats the point of calling ahead? Get another cashier.
These girls were swamped yesterday people were lined up out the door ! Always great service, and the best bagels in Lansing east lansing areas! Thank you ladies and gentlemen ⭐⭐⭐⭐👍😎
One of the finest bagel sandwiches Ive ever had.
Don’t go here bagels aren’t good so dry
My toasted bagel was simply warmed up and there was so much cream cheese put inside of it that there was enough for 2 other bagels. The staff was wonderful and very friendly.
Love this place 😋 bagels and other goodies too
Bagel are delicious but wS there half hour ago. Got the 18 bagel special. Lady couldnt count. We got 16 instead if 18. And almost forgot our cream cheese was not a happy camper. Since I live in perry and didnt reize till got home wasnt going back.
Good beagles but overpriced and the service is absolutely lousy.
Soooooooo delicious and everybody was super cool
Good food, slow service.
It was still good food, different set up. But, okay. Social distancing is huge impact.
I wish I could give this business a zero. I tried Big Apple Bagels for the first and last time today. The food is awful, especially if youre a native New Yorker who knows what a bagel is suppose to look, smell, and taste like. The bagels are terribly gummy with no flavor and they are small. Their version of the NYC bodega and food truck breakfast special sausage, egg, and cheese is repulsive. They use boxed eggs, they dont add salt and pepper, and its scrambled when it should be over hard. I could on, but do yourself a favor and dont eat there.
Busy place. Bagels were delicious.
Fresh bagels big enough to share!
Great bagels. Wide variety of flavors. The bagel sandwiches are also good.
Great service.
The staff were so nice thank you
Friendly staff, and a great selection of bagels
Bomb bagels. They are not shy with the cream cheese.
Well managed during Covid restrictions. Great bagels, smears, and sandwiches.
Ive never had anything that I didnt like here and the staff is really nice! They also just gave me a bunch of bagels so share with all of my coworkers are Sparrow core lab! Thanks ☺️
Friendliest customer service I have seen in a long time, it was delightful! Lots of options, muffins, smoothies and coffee options are abundant. My food was delicious! No errors.
Friendly staff, yummy food, quick service!
This place was an absolute joke. They open at 6 am. I called 7 times for a catering lunch order with no answer. The phone seems to not work at this business so if you are trying to place an order via phone, go somewhere else or save yourself some time and don’t even try.
I was there in January 2019. Both bagels I tried were delicious, one was a bagel sandwich, with omelette and sausage, the other was just a bagel with one of their many cream cheese options (they have at least 8 different ones, the cheddar jalapeno one that I tried was great). I especially recommend it if you like a lot of cream cheese on your bagels.Coffee was good too, fairly inexpensive. I tried the roast of the day, which was Vanilla Nut.I have nothing bad to say about it!
Great stuff; great staff!
Quick friendly service, as always.Breakfast BLT is my favorite.
Love this place ❤️. Bagels are delicious. Service is always good... courteous and attentive. It can get crowded on weekend mornings. But it generally moves pretty quickly.
Awesome place and amazing service. They deal with super rude people (a few of those 1 star reviews from today even) very well. entitled people trying bully their way into getting things all the while the staff is maintaining a professional demeanor.
Bagels are excellent. Staff is super friendly. I love the box with 12 bagels, 2 cream cheeses, and 8 muffins. They arrange it very nicely and its easy to transport to functions. I definitely recommend this when feeding a group!
Big Apple Bagels is the best bagel store in East Lansing. But, with that previous comment in mind, the past few years have not been well for Big Apple. They have had a hard time finding consistent, high-quality workers. Hopefully that will/has changed over the past year, as I have had to frequent it less and less. I wish them the best in their endeavors
Its always busy there no matter what. However they have a trained crew and it goes by very quick. My favorite is the Big Apple Club on a cheddar melt bagel
TERRIBLE. I just stopped here to get a bagel and coffee for my 2 hour trip back home. I got a coffee and a bagel with chocolate chip cream cheese, and whatever they gave me was pure garlic. Its so gross I cant even eat it. And I cant turn back or Ill be late for work. First and LAST time Ill be going here. So disappointed. Makes sense, the two behind the counter werent paying any attention, didnt even realize my order ticket popped up. Spent $8 on something I cant even eat. 😡 and the coffee? 2 INCHES of room? Whip cream doesnt take up that much space.
Coffee could be a bit better (its always colder than other places, like it was made and then sat out for like 15 mins and cooled down) but overall not bad. I love the turkey club bagel thing here. So good.
Spicy cheese was great BUT, dont wrap a warm bagel in plastic (makes it soft) and you should transition to real eggs
First time coming, the girls where absolutely delightful!!! Such a friendly environment & will be coming back soon. Thanks ladies!! ❤️
Great bagels
Doing their best to stay open and on point during the COVID crud.
I have been coming to BAB for the last 6 months or so and I have never had a bad experience. The food and drink are great! The staff are friendly, efficient, and very welcoming! I have made this an at least 3 times a week stop.
Excellent bagels and a nice selection. Clerk was friendly and patient as I selected a variety and offered me the choices of cream cheese. They were fresh and tasty!
Best bagels! Great coffee! When they have it, the chocolate chip cream cheese is the best!
Good coffee and muffins. The bagels looked good but I didnt get any. Friendly staffing and its a convenient location.
Amazing food and perfect customer service!
Best bagels with cream cheese!!!
This store has wonderful bagels with cream cheese and sandwiches. I do wish there were more Big Apple bagel shops in Lansing, particularly in Delta Township.
If you want bagels in East Lansing, do not go anywhere other than Big Apple. Over a dozen types of bagels and nearly a dozen flavors of cream cheese. Simply the best!
I dont usually review businesses unless they really stand out and Big Apple Bagels does just that. My first visit was on Xmas Eve morning and they were really busy but were able to get my order to me surprising fast. I ordered breakfast sandwiches and they tasted great. I visited again today and ordered another sandwich and this is why Im writing a review. The sandwich was toasted perfectly and the amount of ham and cream cheese they put on was generous and the price was more than fair. Plus they include a pickle spear and bagel chips with their sandwiches also which is a nice touch. Definitely will be skipping over some of the chain eateries for Big Apple Bagels from now on.
If you like bagels and coffee, this is your place! Fresh, hot coffee with a large variety of fresh-made, tasty bagels (including a nice variety of breakfast and lunch special bagel sandwiches) and friendly, efficient service. Definitely one of the staples of the East Lansing area - you may at times experience a wait, but well worth it and an indicator that you are in a good place!
Great food and a top notch staff!
Nothing like great, fresh bagels! It sad I have to drive from Farmington MI to get them. Service was good, pleasant, and efficient.
The bagels are good, and the variety of both the bagels and cream cheese is really fun. The employees are always nice as well. It can be busy at times though!
Always great service and normally have what I want in stock. Their cinnamon sugar bagel is sooooo good, as is their poppy seed. Dozens are around $8.99 if you go a certain day of the week, and they keep well in the freezer. Only issue is they charge you for slicing, which seemed kind of unusual to me. When I did get them sliced once, they were very uneven and got kinda roasted in the freezer :(
Always awesome people. Great sandwiches. Today I picked up coffee to go containers for a meeting.
I love BABs;however, lately its been the absolute worse I order from them quite regularly on my way to class. Lately though i will get to class and find that i have the wrong order the wrong muffin or sandwich. This is totally unacceptable. I have tried communicating with the restrant but i always get sent to voice mail and their mailbox is always full. 1 out of 10 stars. I will be getting my bagels elseware.
Excellent bagels and cream cheese. Nice variety, too. My recommendation would be the tomato-basil bagel with scallion cream cheese. Yum!
Food was just ok.
Even though it was busy in there, they took my order quickly and I received my bagel and latte fast. The only thing is I wish they had white chocolate cream cheese available (the BAB in my hometown had it and it was decadent!).
Fast coffee options for those in a hurry. Or maybe order some bagels and enjoy them at the store. Its a little small, but comfortable.
Best bagels in the Midwest. Also have really good coffee and muffins. Fair pricing and they never skimp out on cream cheese.
Bagels were good. Coffee sleeves difficult to work with and could have been provided with to go tray to carry coffee and bagels. None offered.
Good bagels. Not a lot of deals and the bagels can be very expensive. 4$ for a tub of cream cheese is crazy! Now on the plus side they have Jalapeño bagels, so there is that....
Not sure whats going on with these reviews, but Big Apple Bagels is great. I go every Friday morning. There are sometimes long lines early in the day, but thats because the food/coffee is good! Its not the staffs fault.They have a variety of cream cheese flavors, and I like the coffe as well. Its my go to morning breakfast place.
Fast and easy everytime!
Extremely busy! The girls work hard there. Kind of concerning though, i have never seen a male working (except the owner), in 7 years. Great food!
Really good breakfast sandwiches
Ive been going here since I was little and its still great
Bagels are great in the morning. Customer service not so much. Made me wait while they brewed more coffee because they didnt want to risk their carafes running out since I had ordered so much.
I had an amazing experience and love all the food they make. Great job guys! Traiya was the best! 👍
One of those places in East Lansing that Im going to miss. Friendly staff, delicious bagels and cream cheese. Good coffee.
They supply bagels to businesses in need of stuffing face. I had the opportunity and pleasure to stuff face with an assortment of big Apple bagels. 10/10 would use organic cream cheese again. Call them for catering, or stop in and stuff face.
Always out of plain beagles
Delaney was friendly and very helpful!! Thanks for the pumpernickel bagels❣ I will be back!
Delicious Menu and fantastic service every time
Best bagels ice ever had and great flavors of cream cheese
I’ve been here twice. The first time, it took them 10 minutes to make a sandwich. The second time, there were two workers on-shift, and the only thing they wanted to talk about was how high they were last night, and who they buy their drugs from. If it’s a small shop, where everyone can hear your conversation, it doesn’t leave a great image.
I have always loved their bagels when we came up to Michigan for vacation and when we eventually moved up here I was on the hunt for one and found it and they did not disappoint
OMG my experience in this apple bagel place has been a phasing and I cant say it enough the customer service is outstanding they are attentive passionate about their job passionate about their product I also want to indicate that their customer service was great and the food was absolutely amazing and fresh they went beyond the Call of Duty to try to make sure that their customers are happy and enjoy their experience thank you Big Apple Bagel you guys are top-notch
Always great bagels, good service sometimes a little bit of a wait but youll be satisfied with your bagel.
Amazing! Great taste, service, and selection.
Great food, beyond exceptional customer service. Recommend!
Good food. Pleasant staff.
Love it! Super great bagels. The bagel chips are good too.
Great bagels and muffins. Quick and at a cheap price.
