Naval Bagels — Restaurant in Annapolis

We stopped into Naval Bagels on a suggestion before seeing the ECU Pirates take on the Navy Midshipmen for a noon time game. Knowing we would be in town early we wanted to grab something semi quick and tasty that wouldn't break the bank. Naval Bagels hit on all of those fronts.

My son got a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a rainbow bagel and I got "The Bayhawk" which was also a bacon egg and cheese but add sausage and extra cheese and I got mine on an Egg Everything bagel. I was heavily skeptical getting a breakfast sandwich on a bagel in Maryland. Not to sound snobby on the topic but being from Brooklyn, and also eating a great deal of breakfast sandwiches often in North New Jersey, I know good bagels. Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised.

Would I say this bagel would stand up to any from NYC or North NJ? No, not at all. However, it far surpassed my expectations of a bagel in Annapolis, so that was a great start. Nice fluffy scrambled eggs with some bacon and sausage couldn't hurt the cause either. Add in the touch of them carrying egg everything bagels (my favorite) and it lined things up quite nicely.

This place was jamming super busy but the people working the counter were on top of everything very well. They were very friendly and worked with a quick demeanor that didn't make you feel rushed but also didn't make you feel like it was taking forever. Cost was exactly what you'd expect for these (I believe mine was 7 and change) and they also carried Mr. Brown's soda which is a huge deal to me as well.

We will definitely stop back in here if we are in the area again (unless we hit Chick and Pete's next time which was another suggestion). Naval Bagels -...

This place is a landmark in Annapolis. I can go there at 5:30 AM for a Southerner, which is bacon, scramblef eggs, and America cheese on the bagel of your choice. Their breakfast bagel menu is awesome, as is the lunch menu or you can get the bagel of your choice with the shmere (i.e. cream cheese) of your choice. Their coffee is also good. They always have fruit available for purchase and a variety of beverages (canned/bottled and fountain sodas, waters, juices, teas, hot and iced coffee, etc). There are a few tables and a counter for eating there. It is tough getting in there during Naval Academy activities so I call it in and pick it up. Otherwise, it's easy going. Don't forget to check out the trivia board. These folks take pride in their little spot and keep it clean. They must have a schedule as someone is periodically wiping things down and sweeping, including the restrooms. There is ample...

I stopped here for the first time today. I ordered half a dozen bagels to go and a sandwich. First off, I ordered the BLTCOB which is supposed to come with cheese, and mine didn’t have cheese and there was hardly any lettuce or bacon. Next one of the bagels they sold me was complete squished and flat. I couldn’t even cut it in half to toast it. Of course I didn’t notice any of this until I got everything home.

What really made me want to leave a review though was the state of the store. It was really filthy with counters covered in crumbs and there were dirty floors. Every single table was covered in crumbs and garbage and a few of the employees were doing things like filling napkin holders and writing trivia questions on the white board, but nobody was cleaning any of the garbage or food on the counters and tables.

Nothing special about the food and dirty store. I...
