Three Ducks Bagel & Bread Co — Restaurant in Howard

These bagels are soooo good and FRESH!

Our first visit was on a Sunday and it was busy with long line but the line moved much quicker than I expected. Everyone working gave the best service and even though there was a long line, everyone behind the counter was really friendly and calm while still prepping orders quickly. I think the great service really stood out and gave the whole bagel shop a pretty chilled out vibe. The location by the Howard Commons is really cute. My son and I ate at the tables outside and shared a birthday cake bagel. It was delicious!! So delicious I went back and ordered the ALL the rest of the birthday cake bagels and a tub of birthday cake cream cheese to take home 😅 My son never even liked bagels before this trip and now he’s been asking me repeatedly to go back and get more bagels. I went back during the week around 10am. There was a short steady line, same great service, same fresh bagels. I tried the Oreo bagel and cream cheese today and it was super yummy. Love all the crumbly Oreo topping on this one 😋 I also ordered Pumpkin cinnamon and sugar bagels and pumpkin pie cream cheese to take home and can’t wait to try those as well. Well done Three...

I am not usually a bagel person, but I love supporting local businesses. Howard needs more small ventures like this, and I was eager for this one to open. The location is perfect for the right kind of shop, and being able to walk there is a real bonus.

I do wish they would post a menu online, as I did not realize they offered hot breakfast sandwiches until I arrived. There was also no dark roast coffee option, and most medium roasts taste too light for my preference.

That said, the bagels were excellent. They tasted fresh, were soft, and not the dense or stale kind you find elsewhere. The space itself is inviting and well done, which is a sharp contrast to the coffee shop down the road that lacks warmth. The outdoor tables are a nice touch, though it would help if they were cleaned or dried each morning since they were unusable when wet.

Overall, this is a strong start for a new business. I hope they keep growing, expand the menu and post it online, and add a stronger...

I’ve been here 5 times in the last two weeks because I really want to give them a good shot. We really need a place like this in our area. The first time I had a breakfast sandwich on a salt bagel and it was so good! The second time I got the same thing on an everything bagel and it wasn’t nearly as good. The eggs were like the frozen premade kind, it was lukewarm, and the bagel was dense unlike the amazing soft one I had the first time. The French toast bagel with blueberry cream cheese was delish!! Went there today, 3.5 hours before they closed and they had like 3 bagels left with multiple people in line in front of me so I left. Hoping they start making a lot more bagels in the future! Like triple the amount 😂 it seems like no matter how many they make it is not enough. The coffee was good the few times I ordered! Hoping they get some decor in there and make the place a little...
