Call ahead to see if they have any food left! First time back since they reopened. We do like their bagels, but at 12:20 they were out of everything except 4 weird flavors. Plus, you have to use the QR code to order if you're eating there. This presents risks because QR codes can be replaced with fake codes, plus I didn't bring my glasses. They actually had four garlic bagels when I went up to check, but by the time I ordered, they were gone. It took me 20 minutes to walk there. Probably won't risk another visit. Good thing Athens has two bagel places.

My husband and I love this place. The bagels are amazing and the variety of cream cheese spreads is why we come here. :)

The four years ABC was closed were a dark time in my life. In my opinion, they have the best bagels in Athens. Ideal are too dry, Sully's Steamers are too wet, but ABC is juuuuust right. It also blew my mind when I had their bagel sandwich with a schmear of cream cheese. The options and the quality of the product are unparalleled in Athens.

Stopped in on a Sunday morning around 10am and found the place packed! Barely got a seat and the bagels were running out as we ordered. It’s obvious this is a hot spot for students to meet and work, and for good reason because the bagel sandwiches we ordered were delicious! We sat ourselves at one of the table tops and ordered from a phone instead of going to the counter. The space was cramped, which is probably why most people ordered to go instead of trying to eat there. It took a while to get our order delivered to our table, but it’s understandable given the high demand at the time. Would come back!

Went in on a Friday at noon. Waited at the counter to place an order. Made eye contact with the employees, but they were just hanging out and waving to someone in the back. Waited for a few more minutes. No one took my order or even acknowledged me. Left without being able to place an order.
Anyone thinking of going for lunch, don't. Their hours must be wrong on the website and door as they won't take tour order.
Update in reply to manager's response: According to Google Timelines, I was in the store at 12:02pm Friday, Aug 15th, 2025. I was wearing a blue and white striped polo and the only one in line! I will visit the store on Monday, Aug 18th 2025 at 7am to point myself out on their camera. Again, I was the only one in line, not hard to see. To post an honest review and get told I am lying by thier manager should show what kind of place they are running. They also wanted clarification that I didn't eat, which i didn't, and I waited an hour +. Nowhere in my review did it say I waited that long. Assuming the manager didn't even read my review.
The staff were incredibly efficient and kind :). They were very adaptable and went the extra mile to make sure you got everything you wanted. I also really like the cream cheese of the weak idea! Makes me want to keep coming back! Not to mention by far having the best bagels in Athens. Couldn't recommend enough.

Girl at front was amazing but it broke my heart to see how understaffed management leaves the store. Super unacceptable how the owner conducts business. Provide your staff with the support they need.
Delicious and very friendly staff
