With the burned bacon hidden under not burned bacon, the undercooked frozen hash browns, and un-toasted bagal that was ordered toasted, it is perfectly clear that the staff doesn't care. I regret my first and last visit.

I ordered the bacon, egg & cheese on a garlic bagel, and it was delicious. I loved the garlic bagel, I'm a big garlic girlie šŸ§„šŸ§„ I wished it was a little more full though, and the only reason I docked a star. But still, it was incredibly tasty. We're only here visiting on vacation, but I'd return if we're ever back here again!

Some of the worst coffee available on the island. It’s absolutely terrible. Do not order a cup of coffee. The bagels selection is fantastic. It’s a perfect place to grab breakfast before the beach. Order ahead using their app, this place can get busy and they make every sandwich fresh.

I hate that this was so disappointing. My husband & I really wanted to like this place. We were going to go to McDonald’s for biscuits but we saw Sandy Bottom and said ā€œlet’s do the local place instead!ā€ I’m a bagel lover… but these were not it. Their bagels are very dense and they don’t toast them properly to help with texture. I would be interested in taking a couple bagels hope to split & toast them properly, but in the meantime the breakfast sandwich I got was just too bread-y and needed more texture. I really think the quality of their sandwiches could be so easily improved if they would just toast them correctly (re: toast the middle!)

Ordered 3 day ahead of time for our vacation. We were ordering a large order. The order was lost and when we called to check an hour before pick-up, they had to find it. The regular bagels were pretty good. The gluten free bagels were not. It’s almost better to not provide gluten free if it’s not good. It was super dense and grainy. If you use the right flour, you can create really light gluten free items. Price was fine.

Edit to reply to response: It wasn’t a catering order. Pick up was Monday at 8:30 am. My mom called to confirm before she drove over. They didn’t know what she was talking about and had to search for the order that I had placed several days before. This was at 7:45 am. They did find the order and it was ready when she got there. If you don’t require pre-ordering for orders of 6 or more, you need to edit your app.

The best egg sandwich place. I would recommend the bacon, egg, and cheese on Asiago. Very good and fresh.

Great service, good bagels. The everything bagel we ordered was a little tough and over cooked, but the plain bagel was chewy and perfect.

Food is amazing here, the line is always long but that’s because the food is so good and everyone knows it. Not much of a sitting area which would be a big help while waiting but we always look forward to going to Sandy Bottom Bagels!

The employees and ambiance were great. But man, that food was absolutely awful. I got a (emphasized to employee) *toasted* Asiago bagel with chive cream cheese, a hashbrown and cheese grits. The bagel was not toasted at all. It was soooooo dense and cold. Not toasting a bagel is just depressing, especially when they are not fresh. Plus, there was not one spec of Asiago on the bagel, it looked completely plain on the top. The hashbrown was not cooked all the way and flopped in half when I picked it up. And the grits… no salt or any favor, but that’s okay I have salt. I usually do not do reviews, but I am genuinely shocked I waited 15 minutes for that kind of food. I really think this place is cute and has ALOT of potential, but the bagels need to be better. I could have made a better bagel just making it myself. Food needs more love.

I got an everyone bagel toasted with cream cheese. Excellent.

This use to be great place to get lunch but now days the kids they hire are indifferent to customers.
I ordered a tuna sandwich on a bagel. It was nothing to write home about and was dry. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing .
