Mannies Bagel & Delicatessen LLC — Restaurant in Lake Orion

You have the best bagels. I like most of your customers have been coming to your business for years. The low star reviews and the owner’s responses paint a unique picture of frustration. I have also been in the food business for over 30 years, and I understand the challenges that every business is currently facing during this pandemic. Most of the challenges have been there prior to the pandemic but we never had an excuse like today. Not enough staff, expenses increasing, the demand for the product fluctuates daily, food waste and lastly the stress of the owner to put the time and effort into the business. We may be the owners of a business on paper, but the true owners are our customers. Our customer’s needs will dictate our hours of operation and level of customer service that is expected in every business. Telling customers the hours are posted and to call ahead for order sizes that are not that large is unrealistic. Being curt to customers is not new due to the pandemic. Being curt is part of this businesses DNA. Your customers are looking for more than 3 days of operations, your customers are looking for nice and friendly service and a great product which you already have. If you can’t provide this, then consider an exit strategy to let someone else run this business like the...

I love a good authentic bagel shop! Mannie's did not disappoint and I'm in love!

I was starving and on this side of town. I wanted a quick breakfast and am very much into smaller bagel shops. I found this one not far from the new Meijer that I've been hitting up on Lapeer road, so I was excited to give it a try.

Walking in, the place is smaller, with really only a bar for seating 4. It's really a carry out bagel shop to be honest. It very much reminds me of NY Bagel Company in West Bloomfield off Orchard Lake Road, which is a (very) good thing. (that's my favorite bagel shop that nobody can beat.) but this place really does just as good of a job.

The menu's pretty decent and the prices are fabulous. There was already a line and it was barely 8 AM on a Saturday. I got an egg and cheese bagel for only $4?! WHAT? Hell, if I was hungrier I would have gotten two. LOL. They even have real lox cream cheese here which when done correctly, is very delicious.

They have a drink cooler here with bottled water, a variety of juices and cans of Arnold Palmers. Drinks aren't cheap, but I grabbed one anyway. Bottled water was $3, as were most juices. My total bill for an egg and cheese sandwich with an apple juice? $7.41. Not bad. Food was tasty and bagels were awesome.

Give this place a try. It's...

🌟 BEST IN THE UNIVERSE 🌟

If you haven’t been to Mannie’s Bagel, stop what you’re doing and GO. RIGHT. NOW. This place is next-level when it comes to bagels — no exaggeration, they’re the best in the universe. Perfectly baked, crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Every bite tastes like it was handcrafted by a bagel wizard.

But Mannie’s isn’t just about the bagels (although they are a reason alone to visit) — the food they pair with these bagels is equally indescribably delicious. From their melt-in-your-mouth spreads to the stacked sandwiches and fresh, flavorful sides, it’s a full-blown flavor experience.

And let’s talk about the staff — absolutely amazing. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. They make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Their energy and kindness only elevate the experience.

Mannie’s Bagel is not just a bagel shop — it’s a destination. A must. A ritual. A taste of bagel perfection you won’t find anywhere else.

Go once and you’ll be hooked for...
