Big Apple Bagels — Restaurant in Bemidji

My bagel was “toasted” and it was still cold on the inside, the egg was microwaved and smelled about as bad as it tasted, and was covered with a slice of overly processed cheese. Nothing about this meal was fresh as advertised. The bagel was overly grainy and did not any sort of crust, or chewy quality (as you would find in a good bagel). It was like eating a cold, piece of dough. 😭 I also had a bagel with cream cheese, and was equally disappointed. The bagel had the same problems as the last, but the creme cheese was way too sweet, overly processed and disgustingly colored with food dye. I have had a way better bagel from the refrigerator aisle at the grocery store. Just grab bagels from the store and Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and you will be much happier. I was so excited to get a bagel this morning, and just am sadly disappointed. The best thing they had to offer was a good cup of coffee. I liked...

Food was pretty good, but we waited 30 minutes for 3 bagels which was pretty rediculous. I'm a restaurant manager so there were a few things I noticed. As far as I can tell there was only 3 15 year old girls in the kitchen (who haven't yet learned the sense of urgency needed in a restaurant) trying to keep up with the post-fourth of July rush. We watched a couple of them get beverages in the middle of the rush as we waited for our food. It seemed like there was a lack of a trained supervisor there to monitor ticket times, make sure orders were going out correctly and to generally lead the young women in the kitchen. There was also no music playing. Overall I think there just needed to be a manager ensuring everything...

I pick up bagels here for my kids who absolutely love the cheddar herb ones. They call them "pizza bagels" because if you toast it and put butter on it has a hint of pizza flavor. The bagels are great for a snack, making a sandwich, with spinach dip or whatever else you like to use bagels for. Tuesday and Sunday you get a dozen bagels at a discount. You can also download the app if you are a frequent flyer to get a free dozen or a deal on the sandwiches, muffins and coffee. I do enjoy their specialty coffee and you can use your own thermos which I like. There are too many muffin and bagel flavor options to list all here but have sweet,cheesy, and even pretzel option. I do like the jalepeno ones for a little kick...
