We’re here to make you smile — one (ugly) bagel at a time.
Hand-Rolled Bagels. Joy in Every Bite.
Every morning we hand-roll, boil, and bake our bagels the old-school way — fresh, chewy, and perfectly imperfect.
From fan favorites like Cheddar Jalapeño, and French Toast to small-batch spreads like Bourbon Pecan, Nutella and our monthly drops, we’re all about flavor and fun.
Build your own creation or try one of our signature sandwiches like the Basically, I'm not crying You're crying, or Lox & Loaded. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast, lunch, or a treat with friends, we’ve got you covered.

What our guests are saying
Wow! What a great place to grab a quick bite to eat. The cheery atmosphere is very inviting and the staff is the friendliest and happiest I have encountered. With 14 different varieties of bagels made fresh daily and 12 different types of cream cheese there is something for everyone. If you want a bagel sandwich they have a great selection for breakfast or lunch/dinner. I had the Haaam Girrrl and it was delicious! The Lox & Loaded was also very tempting. Add a fresh cup of coffee and you are set. Stop by and give it a try. The bagels are dynamite and you won’t be disappointed! Note, they are at the end of the Arcade by the Bobby.

Manger was amazing visiting from NY and him and the staff were so nice and helpful we stopped in everyday we where here visiting food was always fresh fast and so good highly recommend for anyone to stop here.

This place is great! My wife and I are visiting from out of town and we needed some good bagels to bring us back to life from the night before. The bagels are pillowy soft with a great little crunch on the outside. The Basically sandwich is perfect (fried egg - not scrambled, good bacon, American cheese) and the other bagels and cream cheeses we tried were excellent as well. Glad to see a great bagel place in the south!
