Everything Bagels

I ordered the breakfast bagel with bacon on a Pepper Cheddar bagel. The bagel was delicious, soft, and toasted just right. It needed salt but I wouldn't mind going back to get it again. Get there early because bagel options were down to 2 by my time I got there so a plain bagel with cream cheese wasn't even an option. The atmosphere can be VERY overwhelming. It's loud and bustling so I took my food to go. But overall 7/10.

The bagels were fantastic! We tried the Blueberry with Miso Butter, the Breakfast Bagel, and the Szechuan Lamb. The smokiness of the Breakfast Bagel hits your palate even before the first bite. The miso butter had an authentic flavor, and the lamb was perfectly cooked. Most importantly, the bagel itself was slightly fluffy without the traditional bagel texture which is usually more dense. But that’s how I like the bagel.

I’m a bagel lover, and everything bagels provides what I love: fresh, tasty toasted bagels, with fresh toppings. My favorite was the simple plain bagel with cream cheese, and the sesame bagel with avocado. Perfect way to start my day! Also: prices are really fair. Overall: Sensational!!

Lovely foodhall experience with multiple restaurants contained along their aromatic arrogance. This particular day the Univ of Michigan girls sport team was en masse and the vibe was lively. This was my very first foray into smoked salmon with crème cheese in a bagel. If was skeptical but two bites convinced me. I am not a fan of bagels or fish but somehow I enjoyed this and will get it again. So smokey, bagel toasted just right. See my pics, they do not do it justice.

This place is more concerned with making a statement with their fillings than making an actually good bagel. It’s more of an experience to dine here than a regular bagel spot. That being said, the bagels are pretty good and the fillings are interesting. We tried the pork bun and it was good but felt like it would be better on a regular bun and the bagel wasn’t really adding anything to it. Note that this restaurant is inside the Durham Food Hall so it can get very cramped when waiting to place or pick up an order. One big complaint is that they were projecting pictures of their food on the wall but they did not project a picture of the MENU. You could only see the menu right when you got up to the register or you could pull it up online on their website. This meant that people would spend a lot of time at the register looking at the menu and deciding which made the line move really slowly.

The bagels? AMAZING. The customer service? AMAZING. The prices? Also AMAZING. This place truly delivers on all fronts. It’s disappointing to see people leaving 1-star reviews without any clear reason. The shop is tucked inside a vibrant, bustling food hall, which is part of the charm! The energy, the variety of food, and the crowd all add to the experience. And right there in all of it is this adorable bagel spot serving up some seriously delicious bagels.

There are so many options here and they are all wonderful. Most recently, I made my own bagel sandwich with lox, vegan cream cheese, and capers on a toasted havarti/dill bagel. The salmon was fresh and the bagel was perfectly made. It was a little messy, but that's how I like my bagel sandwiches. It was also super easy to place a mobile order and pay using Apple Pay through their site, then swing through and pick it up from the counter in the food hall where it was waiting for me in less than 10 minutes. The people working there are always really nice as well.

My first time at Durham Food Hall. I had a toasted poppyseed bagel with vegan cream cheese, carrot "lox", capers, and red onions. Had to be the best bagel sandwich I've ever had in my life, plus it was done super quick. My order almost went to the wrong customer but that was corrected right away. Friendly and fast service. This place just made DFH my new obsession!

A friend of mine told me that Everything Bagels was one of the best in downtown Durham. I went on a very busy Saturday morning and ordered a bacon cheddar bagel, w/ chive cream cheese and salmon. It was ready in less than 5 minutes. It was love at first bite. I enjoyed every bite. The amount of salmon was generous and the bagel was perfect. The staff is awesome! It's inside Durham Food Hall in the back corner.

Came to this location in the Durham Food Hall after the Saturday morning Farmers Market and a walk around downtown. It was chilly outside and very busy on the inside. It was close to lunch time so I ordered the Breakfast Burger...which was a double smash burger with cheddar, fried egg, mayo, arugula, charred pickled onion and I got it on an everything bagel. It was really good but for the size, I thought it was a little pricey. The bagel was excellent but probably will not get the burger again.

Annual multi-city food road trip with pre-planned stops in each city. This ended up being my favorite unique bite of the first 1700 miles and 9 days of eating! In the back of a really modern food hall... The service was excellent and the combo of flavors on the menu were diverse. Ordered the "Szechuan lamb sausage everything bagel sandwich w/ lamb, scallion cream cheese, chili crisp, fried egg, and herbs." What a fantastic combo. And absolute mess of a sandwich to eat but especially enjoyed the bagel seasoning aggressively in both sides...felt like I was eating 2 hamburger tops. The cream cheese was fantastic with the lamb patty and makes me want to replace that with tzatziki on a gyro.

I've been here twice, both times on Saturday mid-morning during the Durham Farmer's Market. I commend the creativity of the menu and while I really savored my sandwich, I do think there is something to be desired--the bagel itself I found to be soft and chewy in a way that was reminiscent of a grocery store-bought one. Still delicious but I daresay underwhelming, especially for the price. Absolutely worth a stop, but not the best bagel in the Triangle in my opinion. I would recommend the black lime and sea salt!

Fast, convenient and a great menu. Bonus points that they have vegan cream cheese and MULTIPLE FLAVOR OPTIONS! Perfectly toasted as well. The food hall as a whole is a great spot for grab-n-go or sitting down.

Definitely overestimated how good this place would be based on prior reviews. Ordered the Taylor ham with egg and cheese for $12. Surprised by how much it was but maybe that's just how much things are these days. Bagel wasn't very chewy and the bagel was missing salt pepper ketchup. Guess that was on me to ask.

Overall, a decent place. Stopped in on weekend as I was walking around downtown. Grabbed a toasted poppy bagel with egg, sat in common area to snack. As I said, decent but nothing great. For the price, smallish bagel that didn't seem very fresh. Overall taste of the meal was just ok. Kind of underwhelming.

Cute little bagel shop with a large variety of bagels tucked in the back of the Durham Food Hall. Prices are reasonable. I had a toasted [Turkish] urfa garlic bagel with cream cheese. I had never heard of urfa spice before so decided to give it a try and it worked really well on a bagel -- sort of like a sesame bagel with a more peppery, smoky character. The plain cream cheese worked well on this bagel and there was plenty of it. If there was one of these in Asheville, it would be my go-to bagel place for sure!

They are located in the back right corner inside the Durham Food Hall. Really unique selection of bagels and cream cheeses. I liked the Pecan French Toast Bagel. I asked for it double toasted which, at most places, would still be barely toasted, but that wasn't the case here. Lol, I think I would just order regular toasted the next time I'm in the area. We ordered a Baker's Dozen for our daughter which she froze and had later in the week. She said that they were still just as good as the day we bought them. I would love to try some of their other flavors the next time we're in Durham!

Can't go wrong with bagels Didn't know about this place until today wish i known sooner friendly staff great food.

Its part of our Saturday ritual to get bagels from here atleast 2 to 3 weekends a month! They have rotating bagels and unique cream cheese flavors. My favorite is the everything bagel with scallion, veggie or lemon rosemary cc. I even get a tub sometimes to be able to enjoy it during the week on toast. Highly recommend ordering online for pick up! They also have a ton of bagel sandwich options and create your own bagel sandwich

I love coming here on Saturdays after getting my farmers market groceries. I got the seaweed everything bagel with scallion vegan cream cheese. My partner got the spiced fig with blueberry and miso cream cheese. Both toasted. It was great. They always have quick service and I recommend coming there early in the AM on the weekend because it fills up pretty fast in the food hall. For 2 bagels it's about 8 dollars and change. Overall 8/10

Asked for a bagel and they said they weren't making anymore. ???? They had a basket full of them! I only wanted one!! WTF???

Food-service 1) The whole-wheat everything bagel consistency was too dense. 2) we ordered two whitefish salad bagels whole wheat everything - one was stuffed with much extra cream cheese, the other was not. There was too much crunchy fried onions which is totally an oriental taste does not go with the expected Jewish flavors. Had very little sliced fresh onions The breakfast experience was poor. It is advisable to ask the customers what topping they would not like. I was compelled to give this * poor review.

I came at the end of their business hours. Didn't realize it until I sat down to write this review. The person who served me was so welcoming and inviting, you would never know that they were closing in one minute! Great flavor bagels. I got a walnut French toast with apple pie cream cheese. The person who served me encouraged me to try another flavor cream cheese. He asked me if I like lemon bars and then had me try a lemon thyme cream cheese. It was magical.

I have ordered egg and cheese . I was the only one at the time. They weren't busy. They were so careless and have given me a bacon sandwich . Good that I have opened the sandwich at the restaurant to eat . I would have been met with nasty surprise had I ordered a takeout. Would not expect the restaurant to be careless as I have Dietary restrictions and have placed my order in accordance with that. Never going back.

GEM of Durham Food Hall. Make sure to go early (enough) because they're often completely sold out by the afternoon. These bagels are seriously great, with a chewy, perfectly textured interior and a satisfyingly crispy crust. What really sets Everything Bagels apart is the variety of flavors and toppings on offer. From classic everything to sesame, poppyseed, and even cinnamon raisin, there's a bagel for everyone. And the cream cheese selection is equally impressive, with flavors like jalapeno cheddar and garlic herb. The staff at Everything Bagels are friendly and efficient. The bagels are always fresh and hot out of the oven and wait time wasn't too bad. Overall, if you're a bagel lover in the Durham area, you simply must make a stop. The bagels are amazing, the toppings are varied, and the service is great.

Food is fine, but customer service is horrible. Whoever that young lady is who is working the cash register has an awful attitude. It is not that hard to be nice, especially when the people you are serving have done nothing to you. Awful experience.

These are by far my favorite bagels in the Triangle! Everything I have tried has been so amazing. The staff is always so friendly and personable no matter how busy they might be. My current favorite order is the urfa and garlic bagel toasted, egg, cheese, and sunchoke bacon cream cheese.

Absolutely LOVE the bagel sandwiches here! I went twice during my time in Durham. I ordered the Egg and Cheese on the Urfa and Garlic Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese both times! I was in heaven!! Highly recommend!!

When I saw the menu, I told the woman behind the counter that it was like someone created a menu out of my brain's wildest bagel dreams, and this is true, so even though this is a three star review, I'll be back. I chose the whitefish salad on an everything bagel. The bagel itself was excellent, dense and doughy and with plenty of the 'everything'. The whitefish salad was unfortunately paltry, with barely any visible (or taste-able) fish. It was mostly cream cheese, cucumbers, and crispy onion. So while it was tasty, it wasn't fishy, and that was kind of the whole point. I hope that the other creations have more 'oomph' in the 'filling' part of the sandwich. Lox and kimchi or eggplant banh mi next!

Everything Bagels is located inside the Durham Food Hall. We stopped in to grab a quick breakfast and had a good experience. It was a spiced fig bagel with plain cream cheese for me and a black lime & salt bagel with plain cream cheese for my husband. Both options we would recommend.

I love the originality of the bagel flavors, as well as the sandwich combos. I've been here a few times -- I've tried the chicken katsu, and more recently I tried the toasted urfa and garlic bagel with lox, scallion cream cheese, and cucumber on it. The flavors are really good every time, but I must say the bagels are pretttty small. The prices reflect this though, as it's not overly expensive! It's also usually pretty difficult to chew the sandwich since the bagel gets hard (if it's toasted, not sure what happens when it's not toasted) if you don't get it right after it's been made, but I think that tends to happen with any normal bagel. But be prepared with some napkins because it can get messy, especially when it's tough to chew!!

Tucked into the back corner of the Durham Food Hall, Everything Bagels boasts an impressive and creative menu of basically anything you can dream of putting on a bagel. Having scoped it out when I'd been in the DFH before, I saw that the instructions were "online ordering only," which was clearly advertised. So, following instructions, I placed my online order for a single breakfast bagel and saw the estimated 20-minute wait time. No worries, I waited at the bar inside the DFH. What was disappointing, however, is that the "online ordering only" was not being enforced, and people were just walking up to order and receiving their food before those of us who had followed instructions and ordered online. It took 35 minutes for my sandwich to be ready, which is almost double the quoted time. Had I been in a hurry or unable to wait beyond the estimated time +/- 5 minutes or so, I wouldn't have gotten to enjoy my breakfast. The sandwich itself was ok. I might get a bagel with cream cheese in the future, but for the hassle and wait and price point, I'd rather go to Bruegger's.

The menu is creative so you'll want to come back to try the other options they have . I was not particularly happy with the everything bagel but only because the salt over powered every bite. I was expecting a well rounded amount of flavors but like I mentioned, there is way more to keep coming back for.

This place should be called everything but flavor bagels. My bagels were hard and dry. The purple yam bagel taste like nothing with sugar sprinkled on top. The pecan French toast was dry and crumbly. Panera has better bagels. I could not choke these bagels down. Disappointed in the experience....stay away or order a large drink if you dare to try it.

My friend and I stopped by Everything Bagels for brunch after a morning spent exploring the Durham Farmer's Market. I ordered the plain bagel with peach herb cream cheese. While the cream cheese was delicious- I'd never had anything like it!- the bagel itself was too doughy, even though I'd asked for it toasted. However, service was quick and super friendly.

I got a few bagels and one with the seasonal omelette. Boy was it worth the wait. The bagels are flat and dense but packed with flavor. Would definitely recommend for breakfast.

Great variety of bagel and cream cheese flavors, and creative sandwiches. Everything was flavorful and enjoyed by my group. The only drawback was the wait time from order to delivery, but it is busy for a reason and is a small operation. In the future, ordering online in advance would be the preferred option.

My experience here has always been top notch, my partner and I decided to try them for an early breakfast this past weekend and I had been up a while so I got the breakfast burger and my oh my was it good. i got it on a garlic bagel and added a little honey on it. The perfect mix of sweet and with a touch of grease. I must say I was was impressed and please stop in they have a lot of things to try and a great selection of different unique bagels.

We first experienced Everything Bagels at a popup at the Durham Hotel and have now tried them a few times at the Durham Food Hall. I think they strive for creativity and originality (think seaweed, purple sweet potato, turmeric, etc.) over authenticity, so don't expect to get a recreation of your favorite New York deli experience. I've had their egg and cheese breakfast bagel, chicken katsu bagel and roast beef sandwich and enjoyed each. These were not cheap -- comparatively -- but if you're a foodie and enjoy artisanal food, you should enjoy this place. FYI: During the pandemic, I think they are only doing online pre-orders but the Durham Food Hall website makes it very easy to order.

I've ordered from Everything Bagels twice now during the pandemic. I'm really impressed with their system - you can order online the night before (if you really want certain bagels do this - they sometimes sell out!) and pick up at the time the next day. The food hall has been well organized to have a one-way flow (ensuring that I also stop for coffee on my way out). I'm a bit of a bagel snob, since I grew up 12 miles from NYC. I'm happy to report these bagels meet my standards! We always get two egg and cheese on everything bagels and a half dozen everything bagels to hold us over for a bit before we come back for more. As a salt lover, I wish the everything bagels had a bit more salt, but I recognize it's probably enough for most. One day I'll be brave enough to branch off and try something other than everything!

Wanted to check out the newly opened Durham Food Hall and it was gorgeous! Vibes are closer to the intimate, stylist Transfer Co Food Hall (as opposed to the big Morgan Street one). I placed my order online and unfortunately I still had to wait even longer as it wasn't ready on time (took a star off for that). My egg and cheese bagel was decent. I do recommend adding a cream cheese or sauce to this, because it was all just sort of dry ingredients on a chewy bagel.. But my husband got the spice red pork sandwich with sauce and kimchi cream cheese. He had the opposite experience I did in that his sandwich was TOO saucy! It was sooo messy to eat. His hands were covered in sauce by the time he finished his bagel. It was super tasty though. Love the kimchi cream cheese especially!

The bagels are very unique and delicious. 5 star The folks at the desk are very polite. 5 star We had a situation where we ordered a few bagels via their site (through Toast). We picked the bagels and added notes to request they be well toasted and served with butter. So far so good! When we went to pick up the bagels one of the ladies said that the invoice was wrong and i immediately offered to help fix it if their Toast user experience resulted in under invoicing. Where do they lose two stars? This polite person called someone who I assume was either the owner or the manager om duty. This lady was rather odd in how she insisted on "teaching me how to order" by building a bagel on their site vs adding options in notes. I again offered to immediately pay up the difference due to a clear error / confusion on the app. Her reply was on the lines of "I will take care of it". Sounded she thought I would get away with not paying the extra $. Super odd and frankly insulting. You don't treat a customer that way. Unacceptable. Overall, the food was fantastic. They might need a refresher on how to treat their customers better.

We came here today for the first time to enjoy a bagel sandwich and OMG the girl is touching everything without gloves. First she's peeling ginger with no gloves, and then touched the computer and took somebody's credit card. Then she grabbed a broom and started grooming and then when she was done, she picked up the ginger and started peeling again, and never once washed her hands. And she constantly was pushing up her glasses and touching her face. Big fat no.

These are my new favorite bagels in town! Usually everything bagels have the "good side" and a boring less seasoned side. Their everything's are perfectly coated on both and even not toasted they have a great texture. As a New Yorker I appreciate a good bagel and this hits the spot. The vegan scallion cream cheese is so good I highly recommend getting a container of it. Amazing on the bagels but also with crackers etc. The food hall is a great space for them, you can't currently sit there but the takeout is easy and pickup is smooth. Highly recommend!!

The bagels we had were delicious. My husband had the Lox Bagel and I had the purple sweet potato with cream cheese. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star was because it was an extremely long wait and we were not told about it at the time of ordering. The workers were really nice, but I wish someone would've forewarned us about the 30 min wait. With that being said, I understand it was a Sunday and I think they were also take online orders, so I'm sure they were overwhelmed. My suggestion is to order online if you do not have time to wait.

I'm definitely a fan of Everything Bagels after our first visit this weekend. We placed our order online the night before, since we never like to risk having the items we want to try be out of stock. When we ordered, we selected what time we were going to pick it up and it was very simple. I ordered the Fall Festival bagel sandwich on the onyx and sesame bagel (as suggested on their site). And it was the perfect fall bagel! I LOVED the pumpkin and the vegan cream cheese was also really good. Vegan cream cheese can be very hit or miss and I feel like they definitely do a great job with it here. I also love that there is more than 1 vegan cream cheese option! We also ordered a variety of half dozen bagels to bring home. And I've enjoyed them all. One of my favorite things about Everything Bagels is that they don't just have the average run of the mill bagel flavors or bagel sandwich combinations. They are more unique than your average bagel place and there are definitely more bagel sandwiches I look forward to trying! They are located in Durham Food Hall, which is conveniently across and next to some great picnic spots. So we really enjoyed eating safely outside and distanced from others. We'll definitely be back as the weather starts to cool and we can enjoy the outdoors with our yummy bagels.

Amazing bagel sandwiches with unique twists! I usually get everything bagels with a bacon egg and cheese (delicious by the way) but their Swiss and sauerkraut bagel is a game changer!

Best bagels in area hands down. We like to use the app to order ahead online, makes picking up a breeze.

Pretty good bagel sandwiches. We have eaten here twice. Their bagels are very fresh, as well as the ingredients they use.

I love a good bagel place and Everything Bagels has....basically everything you could put on a bagel. So far my favorite has been the rosemary and comte bagel with the pimento cheese cream cheese. I also really enjoyed the egg & cheese sandwich. The only thing I really haven't liked was the salt bagel-- it's like licking a brick of salt. I look forward to trying more of the sandwiches because some of them look amazing! Also, the build your own option allows so many options! The other thing I have to rave about are the bagel chips. They are only $2 for a bag and they are AMAZING! I haven't loved any of the spreads that go with them but I could eat those bagel chips plain and by the handful. It's a good choice to add a bag or two with your order (which their ordering system is super easy to use. There has been a line Saturday mornings with the Farmer's Market going but now the food hall is doing mimosas while you wait, so that's even more of a reason to go!)

We picked up bagels on a Saturday! They were ready on time from the online order but the place was packed. We had the cauliflower harissa sandwich (personally would have liked it spicier but was still delicious) and the purple sweet potato bagel with vegan cream cheese. Both were delicious and was so great that they had vegan options!

I had a short appointment downtown so finally got to stop by the Durham Food Hall for a late breakfast. I was so excited to see the Everything Bagel shop! They have been getting great reviews for the amazing, unique bagel offerings... flavors galore. One look at the menu of such a variety of sandwiches made with the bagels led me to just order a few bagels, one prepared on site with plain cream cheese. My rationale was that I wanted the purist bagel experience since it's their specialty; indeed there aren't a bunch of distracting breakfast pastry / bread options, a fact that really supported my inclination toward, "focus on the bagel!" Having said all this, I was disappointed that the bagels themselves aren't that great! The biggest faux pas is that they don't have the traditional bagel texture. They are textured more like bread that is shaped into a bagel rather than a bagel texture accomplished with the normal rigor (first boiled, then baked), I would assume? To my experience and taste, the bagels I tried were not of the chewy bagel texture I've come to expect in "traditional" bagels. More importantly, regardless of the robust, interesting toppings, they were nearly flavorless. So texture-less and flavor-less makes for a fairly bland breakfast. However, I must say that the pictures of the bagels are remarkable (take a look at the basket of different bagels posted on their website!). If they could nail the texture and the overall flavor of the bagel itself, I'm sure they would be much closer to their recent award status of Best in Triangle Bagel! That many people can't be wrong, so I will try again another day! By the way, the staff were also remarkable... courteous, smiling, and even engaging while I waited for my order to be toasted!

A great, unique find in the downtown area! After trying another restaurant in the food hall, we were still hungry and decided to split a bagel here. They have curated bagel sandwiches which all sounded lovely, but I also liked that you could build your own. I ended up making my own bagel sandwich on a caraway bagel with whitefish spread and a pepper cream cheese and really enjoyed it. The bagels are unique, tasty and well-made and they have so much to choose from that you could never get bored. It doesn't hurt that it's also one of the more affordable options in the food hall. Check them out for sure!

I really love this place! Their bagels are always fresh and the egg and bacon that they add for some of the sandwiches are delicious. You can really tell that it's made on the spot! I've tried both the everything bagel and another sweet bagel that I can't recall the name of with the miso butter and they are scrumptious! The Durham Food Hall is also just a super cute and quiet place to have breakfast in the morning.

Not your typical bagel joint. The flavors of bagels and the choices to fill them were unusual and delicious! We chose the special of the day - pancetta with lemon rosemary cream cheese and arugula on a fig bagel. It was killer! Loved every bite. We will be back.

I love bagels and I don't know why. But ever since moving to Durham (until now!), I haven't ever really gotten bagels anywhere that I thought were great. But Everything Bagels, you are everything! I literally want to come here every week! Yes, they aren't the cheapest bagels in the world, but they are packed with flavor and you can tell made with true bagel love. They have super unique bagel sandwiches like their chicken tatsu which has some togarashi sesame action with pork, scallions, and kimchi! And another one I loved is their whitefish salad! So much flavor in that one and I love it on a seaweed everything bagel! Their harissa cauliflower spread is also quite tasty (my husband's favorite), but then they have other fun unique bagels like black lime and salt, sweet potato, and even a bagel that comes with duck confit! I mean how fancy is that!?! Their online order system is super easy and you can definitely customize your own bagel adventure too, so can't wait to go back here and so glad they are within walking distance of my house!!

Ordered bagels online while at the Farmer's Market. Plain bagel with cream cheese, seaweed everything bagel with vegan veggie cream cheese, and a pecan French toast bagel with cream cheese. The wait to get these was 20 min estimate, and when we arrived it was so busy and the line was so long to order and pickup that we had to wait additional time. The bagels themselves looked good upon review. The seaweed bagel was delicious with the cream cheese. The plain bagel was a hit with my son, and my bagel was just fine..there definitely wasn't enough flavor in it, pretty basic, nothing to make me want to come back again for another one. I found them to be a bit tough as well, which I'm personally not a fan of. Definitely not adhering to the 6ft social distance rules because anyone can walk up and order though it says online only, and it's such a small space that the customers block the other patrons establishments.
