Very tasty sandwich and the bagel itself was super good! I got the pimento pig and the cheese on it went really well with everything else. I got an everything bagel as the sandwich bread and the bagel tasted amazing! Chewy on the inside and the perfect amount of crispness on the outside. I went in the morning around 7:40 and there were already some people there. The lady who took my order was very nice and the aesthetic of the place was nice. There was also outdoor seating. Definitely going back here to eat just the bagel by itself, so good!
A great place to stop for bagels and coffee/tea! There was a line out the door when I arrived, and that was a good sign to me that the food was going to be great. I ordered a Thai tea with the Luigi bagel sandwich, and my husband ordered a plain bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. All of it was really great!
Picked up bagels two days in a row because of how delicious they were! One of the best bagels I’ve ever had! Highly recommend the pimento pig bagel. The burnt honey cream cheese is also great. Ordered ahead online and showed up 15 minutes too early, but they still were able to have the order ready 5 minutes earlier than my scheduled pick up time.
Best bagel I’ve had so far in Savannah. Excellent texture and flavor on the cinnamon raisin, which isn’t even my favorite bagel (sesame seed for me). However they sold out of all other bagels so I went with the cinnamon raisin… it didn’t disappoint. The cream cheese was also delicious.They were completely sold out of bagels by 12:30pm on a Saturday, so get there early if you want to try it. They also sell sandwiches, but don’t have bread other than bagels (so if they are out of bagels, you can’t order a sandwich either). Service was quick, and there’s ample outdoor seating. Highly recommend!
Big Bon Bodega has an OUTSTANDING menu. Their bagel sandwiches are an absolutely amazing experience. Very fresh, and packed full of flavor. Staff is extremely friendly and talkative. Especially to tourists like ourselves. If youre in Savannah, stop by Big Bon Bodega. Try the Pomento Pig. Youll thank me later.
This may be the place for bagels & breakfast, but skip the pizza. Decent favor. However, most of the crust around the edge was burnt/black/inedible, almost non-existent sauce AND cheese. Ordered “The Red” & paid $2 extra for SIX small slices of banana peppers. Don’t waste your money!!!
I’m not even a bagel person but these bagels are delicious. I hope they add the jalapeños cheddar bagel to the permanent menu. It taste so good with the blt or pimento. I think the breakfast sausage on the pimento pig sandwich was really gross and just tasted like a cheap, frozen patty so the next time I substituted bacon and it was really good.
Deliciousness. Pure delight. Wasn’t expecting much to be honest but this is a quality bagel. It’s wood fired and it gives it a flavored charring that’s much better than when other replaces burn your bagel in a toaster. Their take on bagels is also unique as there is a heavy Korean influence. I stuck with a simple everything bagel (the 912 I think) but added a hash brown patty in it and I couldn’t have been more happy. The herb butter on the bagel mixed perfectly with the everything seasoning and the bagel itself was dense but not chewy. I’d eat this nearly every day if I could.
They have the best bagels is Savannah. The staff here is amazing! Its always clean, and their service is prefect. Eating here is the best way to start your morning. I wish they were open everyday.
Wow! Relaxed feeling, clean and airy in an amazing historical building. I had the Spicy Mama-- a huge bagel sandwich filled with spicy pork bulgogi, kimchi cream cheese and peanut slaw. Filling and delicious for breakfast or brunch! The bakers, who are baking fresh bagels in the open oven as I type this, clearly know what they are doing and care about their product. My husband had the coffee, which he declares as good. I had a hot green tea, which, unsurprisingly, was selected for its beautiful aroma and delicate flavor. The massive cinnamon roll we ordered was amazing and disappeared too rapidly for a picture --this time.Regarding price, two adults can eat a delicious, homemade, satisfying breakfast, cinnamon roll (to share), and drinks for about the same as a diner breakfast. Staff is friendly with good food suggestions. They also do a pimento cheese bacon bagel, which will be next on my list!
Mama Kay is a wonderful owner and kind soul. This business and its employees are very kind. I love their coffee and food!!! Great start to your morning.
Such good bagels. Everything bagel, cream cheese, turkey, and pickled onions make the perfect sandwich.So good, cute location, and let’s you order online for pickup.
It’s not the only place I eat brunch in Savannah, but it’s the only place I’m 100% of the time happy I did. Whether you go greasy with some hangover bacon egg and cheese or fresh with the bon mi twist, you’ll be happy you did it. Don’t sleep on the Thai Tea or the cookies if they have them. Sometimes there’s a line and the hours are weird, but I promise it’s worth it.
I love Big Bon and if anything wish they were open more days of the week ! You can taste the quality & care in their bagels - their pop up pizza events are a must too !
Hands down the best bagel Ive ever had. The owner was present and so kind. Her shop, staff, and menu was perfection. Cant wait to visit again someday. Thanks for such a great experience and welcome to Savannah!
Delicious and a great space. Seemed like the shop had a lot going on that was very pro-people and the community and we appreciated seeing that!
Delicious food and great staff. Perfect chewy bagels and great coffee. The kids loved the PB&J bagel, and the 912 and Luigi were fantastic. We will be back!
The 912 sandwich was out of this world. We got it on the Everything bagel. Easily the best bagel we’ve ever had. We also got a vanilla latte. They have oat and almond milk! The oat milk latte was so good. Cute patio area as well. We loved it and would go again.
Great food. Wood - fired baking oven, Lox & Bagels - to die for.
Finally REAL bagels in Savannah!!! I heard two people say that while eating there yesterday and I couldnt agree more! One person said they dont have to get bagels shipped down from NYC anymore now that the Bodega is here. 😂 Service was great and even though there were a lot of people there, the line went very quickly. Go try it for yourself! Another win for Savannah here! ♥
So glad I discovered this place on my short stay in Savannah. We ended up eating here both mornings we were in town. They have a beautiful patio and a model COVID safe ordering system. The orders came out quick. The bagels are crisp and chewy like a bagel should be. Can’t recommend this enough!
I enjoyed a cranberry orange bagel and my wife had an excellent everything bagel. We look forward to trying the bagel sandwiches.Edited 7/25/19: Tried two sandwich bagels today. The Pimento Pig on an everything bagel was excellent with a big slab of sausage slathered in pimento cheese. The Spicy Mama on a sesame bagel was a zesty sandwich with pork bulgogi, kimchi cream cheese and peanut slaw. Both sandwiches were larger than expected. recommend taking your sandwiches to Forsyth Park to enjoy.
Best bagels, this is our go to breakfast spot. All of the sandwhiches are so good and their coffee and chia are perfect.
Amazing bakery, their bagel sandwich creations are genius and will definently raise the bar on bagel sandwiches.
Big Bon Bodega is just a really awesome place. My family loves to go here on the weekend. I have tried three of their bagel sandwiches, the banh mi, the 912, and the pimento pig. All are very good options. They also have cinnamon rolls on saturdays that are bomb. The staff is super friendly and it’s a very pleasant place to sit outside and enjoy a yummy bagel with your pals.
Easily the best bagel Ive ever had. Keep up the good work! Btw Id love to see a big bon pizza restaurant some day. Its probably the best pizza Ive ever had
Great bagels with an awesome patio. The bagels are great on their own but they have some tasty and creative sandwiches that are the real draw.
Its so good!! Comfort food on the way to work.
The best bagels i have ever eaten. life changing
Chocolate chips cookies were delicious. Plenty of first come first serve outdoor seating. The bagel sandwiches were delicious as well
Bagel sandwiches are big and filling so definitely worth the price
Amazing bagel sandwiches! A must try!
Best bagels in the south! (just as good as Montreal bagels). Nice outdoor seating.
Love this place! Bagels are amazing. Staff is very courteous and professional. Place is clean, masks enforced and open outdoor seating.
They never answer the phone to place an order. Wait time is always long. They shutdown online ordering1.5 hours before closing. I could drive to midtown deli on the Southside and back and get the same thing in the same amount of time. Love the food but they need to step up everything else.
If you like bagels this is the place to come, good selection and the bagels are made fresh.
Had the new good pizza
One of the best bagel and pizza businesses in Savannah (& Georgia) I have experienced. The owner and team members all go out of their way to make sure to extend excellent service and food with a huge spoonful of kindness and humbleness. They arrive before the sun comes up so their customers can have a piece of bagel heaven. Try the Curry bagel...I know I cant wait to have one soon.
The everything bagel is my fav. Their bagel sandwiches are Amazing. Love them all!!!🤗😋
The real deal bagel shop with traditional choices as well as unique options influences by the owners family recipes... one enhances with Kim chi ! I absolutely love the lox bagel... the best I’ve ever had. Everything is fresh and this place is run by one of the kindest families in Savannah, GA. I can’t recommend it enough!!! There is love in EVERY bite !!!
I LOVE THIS PLACE! The staff are super friendly, the food is great. Whats not to like? Its true that the prices arent dirt cheap, but its reasonable for what youre getting. Always fresh, made to order, and tastes incredible. Never had to wait more than a few minutes. There are plenty of picnic tables to sit socially distanced outside for the time being. The Spicy Mama sandwich is amazing.
Great spot! We did take out at the Saturday party. Delicious!!
AMAZING bagels and even more AMAZING humans at this spot!We love the bagels here, they are SO well made and full of flavor.912 bagel sandwiches are a weekly tradition in the family and always made to perfection.We are so grateful to have such a wonderful spot in our neighborhood.If you havent eaten at the Big Bon Bodega you are truly missing out.
Great ratio of the everything on their everything bagel. Chewy and crispy bagel, as its supposed to be.
Amazing.I’m speechless how amazing everything tasted. Bagels baked this way are extra special. We stopped by on our way out of town and got 6 to go just to have when we get home.
Bagels are amazing!!! Dog friendly too.
Best bagels EVER! I lived on these things when I was pregnant. Nearly everything made me nauseated but Big Bon Bagels didn’t. I love how fresh they are and always full of flavor. The staff is pleasant and the owners work there too. It’s nice to see how involved and caring everyone is. This place is a GEM in Savannah.
AMAZING service, food, and cold brew! We’re visiting Savannah for the weekend and our eyes caught the available socially-distanced outdoor tables, so we inquired for more. We got the Spicy Mama, Turkey Melt, and cold brew with almond milk. Everything was packed with flavor, and the service was so helpful, kind, and prompt! Janie was especially kind and helpful in recommending other local places to try. We will definitely be returning before we leave Savannah! We’re hooked already; it’s a must try!
Just as good if not better than the bagels in NYC
The best breakfast sandwich to go you can get
Where do I start! Amazing bagels, spreads, sandwiches and more. And talk about amazing service! These are some of the kindest people on the planet. So thankful for all they do for our community too! They are the BEST of the best!
Awesome bagel sandwiches! Great outdoor seating.
Best breakfast place in Savannah! Plus they sometimes have treats for dogs! Our pup loves it! 😻
5 stars for sure!!! Absolutely the best place in Savannah for breakfast and bagels!! When I moved to Savannah from upstate NY I thought I would have a hard time finding good bagels - boy was I wrong. Any time we have overnight guests in Savannah we bring them to BBB for breakfast. Everything about this place is fabulous - the food, the staff, the building, and the outdoor seating. Dont pay any attention to the other negative reviews - if the color of a building affects how you rate the food and service then you are in desperate need of prayers and help! Keep up the great work BBB!!
Very clean( masks required) and the staff is very friendly.Bagels are very good.
Cardboard straws with plastic cups 🤔 I think we missed the point here folks. Coffee and bagels were good though.
New pizza is fantastic
Great customer service and amazing food.
I have once again moved to my favorite cradle of mystical shops and fantastic food of Savannah, and to my joy this bagel place appeared in my absence, 3 blocks from my house! It became an instant favorite. The ART with vegan spread inspired me from the moment I picked it up, I have never smelled anything so divine from inside a bag and the taste was superior as well! Im coming back today because I have been looking forward to another all week.
I am not sure what another poster meant by makes sense the building is white. The building could be rainbow with glitter for all I care, the food is why you go there. The food and the staff are amazing and atmosphere is fantastic. It is in the up and coming Starland District, removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown (i.e. where the locals go, kind of place). Personal favorites are the overnight oats and the Pimento Pig (when I dont feel like being healthy). They have a great outdoor space so you can relax outside and social distance. Keep doing what you are doing, you are doing an incredible job!
What an amazing small business with wonderful bagels and great staff. Mama Kay has done a wonderful job helping out the community in this time. Come support a small business that cares about our community and the people who live in it.
One of the best establishments to happen to Savannah. Welcoming and supportive to the community and all who frequent it. Oh and the food is amazing! Highly recommended!
Delicious bagels, incredible breakfast sandwiches, coffee and home made cinnamon rolls? I’m in! The owner and staff are all friendly and accommodating and doing their best during this crazy time.
Went for my first time this weekend and I really appreciated all that they were doing to prevent covid. Enforced social distancing, masks required while placing your order, hand sanitizer available.The lady at the counter who took my order was very pleasant and gave me great recommendations when I told her I had never been. Ultimately, I ordered a sandwich, Thai tea, and a half dozen bagels. I LOVED the curry bagel!
Love their Everything Bagel with lox.... get one every weekend. Love the ease of online ordering and quick pickup! Great and friendly staff!
The service was excellent and so was my order!!😁
Great place. I would second the other reviews about the quality of the bagels. If you are from or have lived in the Northeast and miss your quality bagels since moving down to Savannah, fear not for they are right here at Big Bon. I also have to specifically point out the cinnamon rolls they are fantastic. They are in the league of flour bakery out of Boston (aka James Beard level), you cant go wrong. Check this place out if you havent.
I LOVED my Lox and Schmear bagel this morning. Just heavenly 😇 Thank you!
Awesome food and service
I discovered this place while working the polls at the Bull Street Library during early elections this week. Since I only had 30 minutes for my lunch break, I had to choose a place nearby and found Big Bon Bodega online. I scoped out the menu online and decided to try the Spicy Mama. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! I didn’t have to wait long for them to prepare my order and I had enough time to enjoy it. It was perfect!! I loved the peanut slaw and the kimchi cream cheese was so good. And the bagel was toasted to perfection!!! I’m definitely coming back soon to get another one!!!
Love the food and the staff is so friendly!
Big Bon Bodega is yet another Big Bon venture that is 5 stars worthy! The Bodega is only two weeks old and is a phenomenal establishment with a super bright future ahead of it! The bagels are delicious, the snack/ drink selection is wonderful and the staff is super friendly and accommodating! A great take on all things bagel! They really put a lot of detail into every aspect of the place down to the customer service! I will be back again with my family and friends!
Bagels are good quality and tasty. i didnt experience any great service however, just a rude and snappy cashier.
Literally the best food and best staff in the world. If you want to support a local, family owned restaurant in Savannah this is without a doubt the best place to do it.
Wow, what an awesome experience, staff were great, food was awesome!! I will definitely return when I am in this side of town. Thank you for a great experience!!
The best bagels in Savannah without a doubt & the spreads are amazing, too! The store is very clean & we have always had great service!
Great food, atmosphere, and staff! Even if you go during peak breakfast/brunch hours the service is fast. You can tell the team left no detail behind when designing the space and the menu. Inviting, great lighting, and even a great place for a quick meeting during the work week. The Donna is my favorite!
5-star food, staff and premises! Will definitely be back again and again.
I’m a SCAD student and I enjoy the convenience of eating a bagel between or before class but I really can not fathom the thought of these tiny bagels being SO over priced. They taste great but definitely not worth what they cost. :/
Manhattan has been my home for the past forty years and always on the look out for a truly good bagel when I travel. Finding Big Bon Bodega in Savannah showed me that I can get a great bagel outside of New York City. I had a 912 sandwich and a bagel with cream cheese on another morning and they were delicious! Both days the staff were friendly and helpful. The bodega is a beautiful, inviting space that has seating inside and outside so you can sit and watch the life in Savannah go by.
Thoroughly enjoy this beautiful space & friendly staff! You can tell a lot of thought and intentionality went in to creating a pleasant experience all around. LOVE LOVE LOVE The 912 on an everything bagel. The herb butter takes it to another level. I highly recommend you give it a try!!
Amazing! The bagels the people the atmosphere. Cant get enough of this place or these people!
Tried something new (which is hard to do when you have YOUR favorite places already picked out in Savannah). Big Bon thoroughly impressed my husband and I! I had an everything bagel with the lemon caper cream cheese and it had the most perfect flavor and texture! Thank goodness for quality bagels in the South!!!! Definitely a new favorite and we will be back next time we are in Savannah.
We always get fantastic service from the great staff, owner, and enjoy the delicious food.
Wow! What an awesome shop! The bagel sandwich I got was absolutely delicious and the bagel texture was fantastic! Not too firm, not too fluffy, just perfectly moist. A feat given their wood-fired oven.
Perfect & convenient location with a beautifully designed space and AMAZING bagels!! Friendly staff & welcoming environment with outdoor seating. The marketplace adds to the genuine bodega feel. 10/10 would recommend!!
I already posted my feed back and kept it here for about one week, but didn’t get a response. I never intended to keep it up but hopefully to bring awareness to your business. I know it’s the cool thing now to wear see through shirts, shorts that expose your bottoms for all to see and it’s rad if your breast parts are exposed just like the very young cashier who helped us the day we were in. But to be honest I hope that my daughters don’t grow up to take on this position. I hope that adult business owners can help establish more modest dress code in their establishments that’s kind to all people not just some. I don’t think it’s a lot to ask to be able to go inside an establishment to enjoy with my family and not encounter any persons private parts exposed. And yes for those who don’t realize, your breast are private parts...I’m not old fashioned, I’m only in my thirties I’m not some oldie who grew up a different way but I’m a wife and a mother who wants better for my own children and if this is what they encounter EVERYWHERE they go then they willMost likely follow suit. And if someone doesn’t speak up then Goodness will be overcome. And so many people need to hear it’s ok to be GOOD!So many business owners are capitalizing on selling sex from our young people to draw crowds as part of the ambiance of their business, when they should be leading them in the way they should go. I’m not at all implying that’s what is happening in your establishment but it’s happening all through out our city and it’s not only sad but infuriating.
Best bagels ever with fantastic toppings combinations!
ABSOLUTE favorite place to stop for breakfast or a sandwhich! LOVE this place so much!
We drove in from Richmond Hill just to try this place, and it was well worth the drive. The space is clean, inviting, and pleasing to the eye. The staff is warm, friendly, and helpful. The food is to die for! Our party tried the kimchi bulgogi sandwich, the pimento sausage egg, and the lox and they were all just amazing. I tried their cold brew coffee and it was the first time I enjoyed cold brew coffee. Good, varied drink selection and a clean bathroom to boot! 10/10 will absolutely come again and recommend.
Thank goodness for great bagels! Wood Fired bagels with all the fixins. A great atmosphere, genuinely happy staff, and fantastic food for all diets. The Walnut Butter and Jam on a Yum Yum twist is my weakness!
We loved it! Great bagel sandwiches and lovely staff. Updated post since i accidentally pressed two stars when looking it up on Google maps. Thanks for following up Kay. Happy to have this new spot in Savannah!
Amazing space, so much to offer. The staff is OUTSTANDING. I would recommend 1000%BODEGA IS THE PLACE.
