‼️ My 12 year old daughter ordered a hot chocolate at a Christmas event and her father specifically asked for KIDS TEMP! So she turned the hot chocolate up expecting that BUT IT WAS NOT! IT WAS PIPING HOT! Her tongue is badly burnt she is barely able to eat or drink anything! So WARNING! To anyone that orders hot beverages for their kids! Going to cost a doctors visit! Extremely upset!

I stop in here regularly for coffee and my friend gets their bagels. I stopped in with my mom who was visiting from out of town. It was sooooo good. We found out they have croissants as well and we loved loved loved the food. The service was great as well.

We stopped in for a quick breakfast after deciding last minute to walk the shops on main street. It feels kind of musty in there with a weird smell. Honestly I think it could be whatever paint or spray paint they used for the art but it’s definitely off putting for a food spot. I was really disappointed with my coffee and bagel. The bagel was cold and super soggy despite being toasted and the specialty cream cheese was really gross wet and room temp. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich and he said he liked his but agreed mine was pretty bad. It was also awkward and quiet in there you could hear a pen drop. I don’t know how to explain it other than the vibe in there was odd and my food just seemed old and slapped together, we were eager to leave for sure.

Very friendly people and pretty fast. But a couple big caveats. The interior needs something to make it seem more homey/welcoming. It's extremely sterile but I don't think that's what they're going for. Maybe bigger tables? It just feels temporary. Now the food.... I gave it 2 stars because of the value. The breakfast options are decent and fairly large but I spent more on my last bagel with lox than I did the last time I was in Manhattan. To me it's just inexcusable that a bagel joint in WNC that doesn't bake their own bagels costs more than a true NYC bagel shop 3 blocks from Grand Central Station. If the food was priced according to the fact they're not baking in-house and not paying Manhattan rent and wages then the food would be 4 stars. I know a business has to make a profit but the math just doesn't work for where they are. I'll go back because it's hard to find a bagel with lox when you're out and about but I'll always flinch with the check.

I don’t know why I have not been in here before! Really great bagels. I ordered the bagels and lox and it came loaded! Haven’t had one like NYC in so many years and they hit it just right! I love the space and the downstairs with the sofas and the TV is a super nice touch. Service with a smile, and I got my coffee quickly and my toasted bagel in a timely manner.

We stopped into Time Square Bagels in Waynesville completely by chance… and let me tell you, the universe knew what it was doing. This place is an absolute gem.
I ordered the chicken, jalapeño cream cheese, and bacon bagel, and all I can say is... mouthgasm. That flavor combo lit up every corner of my taste buds. It was hot, fresh, and ridiculously satisfying. I already want another one.
The vibe inside? Cozy, local, and welcoming. The kind of place that makes a small town feel like home. And Annabelle, who was working the counter, was an absolute sweetheart—super personable, friendly, and funny. Turns out, she’s actually from my hometown, which made it all even better. You can tell she genuinely enjoys being there, and that kind of energy makes all the difference.
We didn’t have to wait, the food came out quick and delicious, and even the dirty chai was on point. Every single part of the experience was top-notch—from the first bite to the last sip.
We love this little town, and Time Square Bagels just gave us another reason to come back. Highly recommend. We’ll 100% be back.
I got one latte and it took around 20 minutes. There was only one other customer when we arrived. The latte tasted like mainly milk. The interior was very cute and I love the New York theme. I am giving 5 stars because I believe that this business has a lot of potential and I don’t like to leave one stars..
