BB's Bagels

Visited: October 2025 I’ve visited BB’s Bagels (Bronx Bagels) many times over the years, and I was excited to see them reopen after the fire. Unfortunately, the new location feels like a step backward in both atmosphere and quality. The old diner style spot off Exit 12 had charm, even if parking was rough. The new one sits deep inside an office park, easy parking, yes, but no character. There’s no dine in area at all... no tables or outdoor seating... just a small waiting area and a side coffee counter. Service was minimal and the wait was long (about 20 to 25 minutes). You place your order, stand around until your name’s called, and that’s it. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese on a cheddar bagel, and my wife got an everything bagel with egg salad. Both were extremely chewy and hard to bite, so much that they were hard to eat. The bagels weren’t stale, justvery chewy. By the time I finished half, my jaw was tired. My wife couldn’t even finish half of hers. For two sandwiches and two plain bagels, the total was about $37 after 20% tip, which feels high for a grab and go spot with no service. I know BB’s has a strong following, but personally, I think the quality has dropped. Hopefully, they find their groove again, but for now, I can’t say these were the “best bagels in Georgia.”

All around AMAZING!! Service was great! Staff helped us know what to get! We got the David with sesame bagel and the Bialy bagel!They also have a coffee shop that yummy!! MUST go!!!

We love the bagels at BBs Bagels. Our favorite are the everything bagel, pumpernickel, and french toast. They have great spreads too. Make sure you get the strawberry spread, regular cream cheese and vegi cream cheese.

I went at 11:04 there was no line and it was quick. The bagels and cream cheese were good. Especially the apple cinnamon crunch cream cheese.

I’ve been eating BB’s Bagels since 2007, and without a doubt, they’ve always been my favorite bagel in Georgia; and a top two bagel I’ve ever had in my life. The crunch to chew ratio is perfect, especially when you get them fresh. I’ve been living out of state since 2016, and my family has even shipped them to me because they hold such a special place in my heart. When I heard the original location had burned down, I was honestly saddened. But after visiting today, I can assure you; these bagels are still top notch and absolutely deserve their spot as the best bagel in Georgia. Although the new location is far from the original, they’ve done a good job of capturing a nuance of that homey feel. It’s a bit unfortunate that it’s now in a business park, but the taste hasn’t changed a bit. I’ll always miss the old diner feel, but it’s still the same ole BB’s bagel I fell in love with. Hats off to you guys. I’ll always be a proud patron of BB’s

Amazing experience!!! Food was great, but their customer service stood out above all else. Such a welcoming place, great vibe, cool signage and everyone went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great. Didn’t meet a person who didn’t ask how we were doing. 30 minute drive very well worth it!!! We will be back!!!

Bronx Bagels has a cult following for a reason. It’s a Mom and Pop shop that’s been around since 2007 that serves ~authentic~ New York Bagels. The owners used to work up north, so they know how a real bagel should taste. Its new location offers the same atmosphere as the original had on McFarland Parkway: good people, good coffee, good bagels. I go almost every weekend and order either the everything bagel with plain cream cheese or the pumpernickel bagel with honey nut cream cheese. Also, they make their own cream cheese flavors that are all MUST tries.

They definitely make the best bagels around here. I don't have anything against the nice people serving either but I am totally against the aggressive tipping tactics at check out. It starts with a minimum of 20%. This is NOT a sit-down restaurant and why do you expect that high percentage tips. Maybe they should pay the employees better and do away with the tip. I don't mind paying more for the bagels and no tipping for take out orders.

Great large bagels and a great variety. The best I've ever had. I live in Canton so I don't get there often. Wish they were closer.

I've been here a handful of times. Each time I appreciate it's charm more and more. My favorite meal here is the Ultimate Benny. WAY TO MUCH FOOD in one setting, but I'm a big guy, so I get Grits on the side as well. Service is quick and if you're eating countertop, you get to talk a little to the staff or watch the crazy zoomies as they work the restaurant. Coffee isn't bad, it's comparible to Waffle House and they have your regular coke selection. Don't have time to eat in, no problem, they have window service available outside. The Bagels here are definitly my favorite in all of Georgia. I drive 45 minutes just to go here and I'll grab a few bagels to go to freeze and heat up at home. I really enjoy this place a lot and would recommend to anyone asking for good bagels. Just wish they had a location closer to Atlanta. :(

I was charmed by the cute little diner vibes. The bagels were absolutely delicious--super fresh and perfectly chewy on the inside with a crisp, golden exterior. The fries had a nice flavor, and everything was made fresh to order. I also appreciated that they had a turkey bacon option. This will for sure be one of my go-to bagel spots. Can't wait to come again!

A few of us were in town for a wedding, and BB's came highly recommended from friends. On our last day in town, we picked up a few bagels for breakfast. As someone from NY, I am picky when it comes to bagels. BB's is officially the first place out of NY that sells "NY style bagels" that I actually enjoyed! They were fluffy yet crisp and so tasty. I ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese and it was fantastic. Service was quick, and we just ordered at the counter to-go. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best bagel spot in all of North Fulton! I've been coming here for over five years now and am always pleased! The quick order service counter is my preferred way to go but there is also indoor dining if you want to sit down and eat. The orders come out very quickly and are always top tier!

Most overepriced bagels in the history of bagels. $14 for a bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel is insane highway robbery. And before you tell me I'm crazy, the EXACT SAME order at Brooklyn Bagels in Johns's Creek is $7.50. Went to both locations on back-to-back days. Also, Brooklyn Bagels were significantly better.

They just had a fire... They need our support ... Anna and team are FANTASTIC, rebuild... We will be there

Walking up to this place I knew the food here would be good. I noticed on the walls were all kinds of awards for best bagels and I can see why. Well I didn't get a bagel but I ordered the Florentine eggs Benedict with two poached eggs and spinach on an English muffin topped with hollandaise. So so tasty!! I chose tomatoes to go with it. Best tomatoes I've had in a bit. Eggs Benedict has always been my favorite breakfast. I'm living in Kansas City and next time I come to Georgia I'm for sure gonna come back again. Thank you for the awesome food BB's bagels!

The bagels are good. The bagels are expensive. Two everything bagels with speciality cream cheese ran us $12. That's ... too much. The quantity of cream cheese is fine. It's not too little but it's not as heavy as a typical nyc shop. The everything bagel was well coated.

The customer service was okay, not super welcoming when I placed my order on the phone. Food was good the bagels are huge. I asked for my cream cheese on the side they gave me a 2 oz ramekin that I paid almost $4 for.

Classic case of their ego is bigger than what they can offer. I walked in to this empty, dilapidated trailer known as BB's Bagels and was immediately hit with a pungent smell. The trailer was empty without a customer in sight. There were two servers behind the counter and they were too preoccupied sipping on their drinks to say hello to me. I wanted to place a to-go order because I remembered the bagels here being quite good but then the server unlocked the other door and sent me outside to wait in a line in the cold to place my order. They are full of themselves. Steer clear from BB's Bagels it is not worth the hassle and disrespect.

We ordered takeout via UberEats from BB's Bagels and they were AMAZING! The bagels were so fluffy and delicious, plus the bagel sandwiches were great as well. I ordered a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and my boyfriend got a poppyseed bagel w. cream cheese and an everything bagel sandwich. All of the food was delicious and you can tell they really know how to make a bagel! Since we ordered takeout, I can't speak to the service or ambiance yet but our intention is to check this place out in person when we have the time! All in all, very delicious even via takeout!

Bronx Bagels has gone downhill. The last two times I have gotten poppy bagels they looked more like plain. Barely any poppy seeds. In addition, they have become overpriced.

OK let's start with by addressing some of the other comments and being real. One, is it too expensive? A value meal at McDonalds is almost $15 with tax and their food is crap. If you are expecting to pay what you would for a bagel in New York, then go get it New York. Food in New York is cheaper and that is the truth. You get what you pay for. The bagels are MUCH better than what you would normally get here in Atlanta. Very close to a deli bagel in New York. Two, the place is old and run down. Is it the prettiest place I've eaten? No but some of the best places I've eaten were holes in the wall. If you are looking for a Midtown Atlanta type restaurant, then go to Midtown. It's like a typical New York diner and the service is always good. The people have always been nice to me and my family but we are also from New York so we relate. Last the food. Very good New York Diner like breakfast. If you are expecting a Gordon Ramsey type meal, again....go somewhere else. Some people are completely unrealistic about where they are going and what to expect. If you are from the Tri State area up North and you want a breakfast and bagel that is as close to diner up North that you can get down here, then stop and eat here. I think it's a great spot and I go regularly.

Their bagels are excellent. Highly recommend the everything and the onion. The bagel size is XL and the exterior is crisp and perfectly cooked. We stood in line for about 10 minutes on a Saturday mid-morning. Order taken by a lovely staff member and delivered at the next window pretty quickly.

Yankee living in the south. So you know I know a proper bagel! And BB bagels is the place to get them! Staff manages a consistent packed house with efficient friendliness. They make a pasta salad (what I would call a macaroni salad) that tastes like my mom's! Don't stop at the bagels! Their tuna melt is Top Notch (and honestly my favorite thing to get when we go here). My husband enjoys their breakfast burrito quite a bit! It is heartily stuffed with all your favorite things! A fantastic taste of home!

Best bagels. We always just pickup and go but they're delish! Everything is our favorite. Our daughter recommends the French toast bagel with chocolate chip cream cheese.

Ordered at the takeoit window. Friendly service, decent paced. Tried the onion and chocolate chip bagel. Both were good and softest bagels I have personally had. I have never had the true NY bagel so I cannot speak to that. I will say everyone skimms on chocolate in a chocolate chip bagel thesr days and its depressing because I grew up on this treat. BB's however has a decent amount of chocolate and for that I am happy with the taste and texture. I am excited to try more as well as swing by for brunch.

Da bagels here are .. da bomb !! lol ! I'm totally at work right now thinkin about this bagel lol ! Thought I would write up a quick review

As the daughter of a proud New Jerseyean with strong food opinions, I and my family generally turn our noses up at any bagel from south of Maryland. But BB's is the brilliant exception, with both food and atmosphere that would do the Garden State proud. The interior is classic diner, with the line cooks visible from the dining area. There's also a convenient bagel window for ordering to-go from outside. But oh, the smell of baked dough and the glorious stacks of bagels! They're the main decor. There's a huge selection of both sweet and savory bagels. The authenticity of this place is proved by the presence of salt bagels, flat bagels, and bialys--specialties that are usually only found in Jewish delis up north. And the flavor lives up to the promise of the smell, with the chewy and tangy combo of the ideal bagel. If my poetic ranting sounds like an exaggeration, it's because you've never had a real bagel. I will say the plain bagels are a little bland, but this is true everywhere. I recommend the everything bagels, especially if they have flat ones available. Finally, service is quick thanks to the to-go window. But it's also kind--I was welcomed warmly and given extras since I arrived close to closing. Trying this place is a must if you're anywhere nearby, or even if you aren't. You won't regret it.

Classic bagel style. Great quality. Lines can be a bit much if you go on the weekends but order ahead and the service is quick. Good value.

Don't judge a book by its cover !!! I ordered to go/pickup. Once you arrive you will see a trailer home. The smell upon arrival isn't too appealing neither, but proceed ! I placed my order & it was ready within 5mins! The bagels are super soft & fresh. I order the cheddar cheese bagel, which was a nice pair for BEC. They are very generous with the bacon. Everything was cooked evenly. This was the 1st bagel I've had in Atlanta that was ok.

BB's has the best bagels in the area and other good breakfast and lunch food. It gets crazy crowded inside and hard to park, but the bagels are delicious. I love the pumpernickel rye with scallion cream cheese.

The bagels are amazing and fresh. Taste just like they came from NY. Great deli overall! Highly recommend.

My friend has bragged about this place and since Im in Cummings, i decided to make this my first visit . I ordered an egg on cinnamon raisin and am amazed at the size of the bagel. The taste is good..but a little bland; probably needs a little more cinnamon. Overall, I am pleased and will definitely return. Final note- the price is commensurate with the product!!

Food always good. Always crowded and wait for a table. Best bagels around. Definitely worth a try.

Love these bagels and I have to say the breakfast sandwiches are the best. Doesn't matter if you get on a bagel or a croissant, it is amazing. The sausage egg and cheese on a croissant is a monster and will feed you for 2 meals and if you prefer a BEC, get it on a French Toast Bagel. You can thank me later. The service is amazing and the staff is beyond friendly. It's worth the drive and the wait.

This is a quintessential East Coast diner --- delivering the goods in as expected manner. Exceptional quality and a great vibe. Recommend without hesitation.

How have I never reviewed this place?? My absolute favorite bagel place ever. and I've eaten a lot of bagels. They are so thick and fluffy, we don't get them toasted with just a side of spread and they are phenomenal. The absolute stunner to me is the blueberry cream cheese. This most recent trip, I tried the crumb cake and it was so soft of sweet and crumbly, I loved it. I love the pickup window since covid, makes it quick and easy. I will come to this place every time I'm nearby. it's a winner

BB's bagels is a classic in Alpharetta that you cannot miss!!! I have been coming here forever and takeout and dine in is always great. We arrived today at 11:45AM and had a party of 8 which we knew was ambitious! Thankfully we were seated by 12:15 which was amazing!! I was shocked we could sit. Once sitting, we got a round of waters quickly. Our waitress then came back and took our orders and those came out quick as well! All in all we were at our table not long and the food is always fresh. They were out of everything bagels by the time we ordered but the onion bagel and cheddar bagels are my personal favorite! I got a bacon egg and cheese on a cheddar bagel and it was to die for! Absolutely delicious and we got to go from the pick up window. Always a great stop here and the best owners!

yesterday I bought one cheddar bagel, toasted, plain cream cheese. one bagel sandwich, turkey, provolone, tomato, lettuce, onion, cold to go. I ate 1/2 half of the sandwich yesterday, and went to finish it today. Fortunately it fell apart and I had to put it back together to find my provolone was MOLDY! I paid $21+ dollars for these 2 bagels! I will attach a photo. so grossed out. nope not going back!

Been coming to BB's for a minute now and it never disappoints!! I'm honestly not a bagel person but BB's is one of the few bagel places I'll make an exception for. Their bagels are super soft and absolutely delicious and they have such a wide variety of options and flavors! You definitely need to get there early (parking can sometimes be an issue so you may need to park in the street) and be prepared to wait a little if you're trying to dine in. Whether you dine in or order to go, service is always super quick which I appreciate a lot. I usually order a breakfast sandwich of some kind on either their plain or cheddar bagels! I almost always pick up something to go as well. Love BB's and definitely check out if in the Alpharetta area!!

I drive 30 minutes to get here to BB's. The bagels are real NY bagels...every flavor melts in your mouth. Gotta try the Rainbow next... TY for this place. Kettle boiled are the real deal ..

The food is wonderful. The service is too. If looking for REAL bagels, this is a must visit. It does get busy, so be prepared.

This is a very authentic Bronx experience as far as getting bagels. The service is a bit rude (indifferent maybe a better description), it's a little pricey and for to go orders you stand outside and freeze your nuts off waiting a prolong time for someone in no hurry inside to toast and smear your bagel. I know that's not the most flattering description but the bagels are excellent and they have a great offering of different types. The experience in unique and the food is so damn good, it's worth it, even on a cold day

Let's start with the most important thing: This is NOT a NY bagel. It's thick as a pillow and has zero texture or chew in the crust. None. It is a one note dough bomb. They definitely aren't boiling them correctly, nor are they cooking them at a high enough temperature. This place would be out of business in 3 weeks in Manhattan. Is it the worst bagel in Atlanta? No, because aside from The General Muir, nobody really knows what they are doing with bagels here. Is it even remotely worth the price they charge for them? Absolutely not. That is an absurd price to pay for a bagel anywhere in the US. Oh, and nearly $1 extra for using a credit or debit card? You've lost my business forever. At MOST the surcharge from the bank is 3%, under the most extreme circumstances. I would strongly recommend not wasting your money on these dough balls and either heading to The General Muir for the closest thing to a decent bagel in this town, or Manhattan Bagel Deli if you're up in the Gwinnett area. These people are clearly not customer friendly, so don't overpay for a lousy product.

My family has been coming here for years and we have some good memories. Best bagels in Georgia. Highly recommend!!

The sheep waiting in line outside to overpay for mid-grade (at best) bagels is beyond me. Breakfast is another overpriced disappointment. Not only are we eating garbage to kill us faster, but we're letting.this establishment overcharge us for it, enough sodium to kill a small rhino. Last time I was there we paid almost $60 for some burnt toast, eggs and beef jerky(I mean bacon). I guess the allure of a shiny silver building with lack of parking is enough for some people, and those people need to get out more. 2 starts as the only thing this place has going is service. Please save your money while eating trash for breakfast, and do it at home.

BB's never disappoints. Super good bagels and bagel sandwiches for a great price! I get the egg and cheese sandwich on a toasted everything bagel. Hits the spot every time. I've only ever been on the weekend and it's always super packed. They have a lot of parking spaces, but I went at 10:15 on a Saturday, and there was already limited parking. So I would go on the early, early side to beat the crowds (if that's even possible). Even though it was packed, my friend and I (it was just 2 of us) were seated right away! Highly recommend.

Heard so much about BB's Bagels and while I totally understand bagels are probably the best you can find, this is not my place. I can't compromise to that point, the place is very dirty and that for me is such a turn off. Everybody is nice, the bagels are good but cleanliness is a must I am sorry. I hope someone realizes that and makes some changes. I get it, it's cool, casual and somehow fun to see sloppiness but not when you touch my food. The 3 stars are for the very nice lady who served me and the bagel that must have been good too bad I could not enjoy it.

Well, I'm gonna start off with just a wow when you find your neighborhoods hidden gem it's just special. I have no complaints on anything. I had a basic breakfast with home fries over easy eggs, and some bacon. It was all delicious. I felt like there's an old lady in the back that's cooking your food, the pancakes ta every time I'm gonna come here. I'm gonna get a different bagel this time. I had everything with scallion cream cheese. I love this place and I'm gonna keep coming back. staff is super friendly jokes. Great service.

I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. I arrived at the shop near closing time, so was surprised with an extra bagel in my bag despite only paying for the one. This is probably the best bagel in Atlanta. Brooklyn is good but BB's takes the crown. The bagel was fresh, not tough to chew, so many seeds. And the amount of cream cheese was GENEROUS! As a cream cheese lover, that's a must.

One of my favorite places! It's the only place I'll get my bagels from in GA. I enjoy a bacon egg & cheese on occasion or just a toasted bagel with a nice shmear of some cream cheese (they are very generous with the cc). The everything bagel is delish, they do it right here & put seasoning on both sides which I greatly appreciate. The bagels are crunchy on the outside but soft & moist on the inside. They're also not tough, the worst thing is a tough, chewy bagel. The staff is very nice & I always enjoy coming here. I usually am on the go so I use the walk up window but I'd love to dine in & try something new one day & I'm positive I'd enjoy it just as much as the bagels. They open pretty early & the bagels are the freshest then so I recommend coming early. This place has some loyalty so it can get busy, so expect that & be patient... it's worth it! I love BB's!!!

Best bagels in the area. I've been here so many times over the years. It's a family staple. Get there early, beat the line. So many options. One bagel will carry you until dinner. A gracious bagel sandwich will put you to sleep within an hour or so. Try the bagels sandwich with Taylor ham. Yum!

A family favorite! I knew we were in the right place when I saw Taylor Ham (pork roll for some) on the menu. The Lox and Capers is delicious or a toasted Flagel with KitKat cream cheese.

Best bagels in the south! Always consistent and tasty! If you are from the northeast, this is the closest you can get to authentic New York bagels. They need to improve the parking though, or stop being so yummy.

So filthy dirty disgusting!! Not sure how this place hasn't been closed down! Staff not very friendly either. Will never eat here again.

Delicious bagels. Love the flagels. Like that I can order online. They run out of good flavors fast!

I went to NY, but Brooklyn didn't have anything on this place. Hot take. I know. It's the NYC style service, quick and no frills. But the food is what takes it away. The bagels are served toasted (if you like), and they give cream cheese for days. This is what makes the place for me, they don't short you on the cream cheese, they lather it up and make sure even the most heavy handed cream cheese enthusiast has their fill. *chefs kiss*. I got the plain toasted bagel with veggie cream cheese, though was lucky enough to try the sesame bagel with strawberry. Wow. Mine was good, but maybe I didn't have the vision for the strawberry spread. I wish I could come here everyday, but alas that is not my reality. A young chef named remy looked up at Gusteau and thought that anyone can cook, but I doubt anyone can make anything this good. They serve the portions and the quality that every southern restaurant should aspire to and all with the NYC vibes. It's bittersweet memories here for me, but the sweet in the strawberry spread 10/10.
