The Bagel Basket has the best BLT I've ever had!! I love that I can get it on a bagel rather than regular bread, makes it ten times better. The bagels are amazing, they are the perfect consistency and are super fresh. The coffee is great and the girls there are super nice. Highly recommend :) read more

Great bagels, toasted just the way you ask; with HOT coffee and good service. This is a great stop for a bagel and more.

In Maine it's a challenge to find a decent bagel shop with fresh bagels that are tasty. Took a chance after sunrise to check out this shop - and was pleasantly surprised! Good, hot bagels ... nice selection and the egg/sausage bagel sandwich was hot and delicious! read more

Stopped here on a sunny, warm Sunday afternoon in November. There were loads of people sitting outside on the picnic tables and Adirondack chairs in front soaking up the unusual weather and enjoying a bite to eat. The space - which is all wooden, rustic, and full of warm tones (it feels like it should be located directly on a beach) - is charming though the lay-out is very peculiarly, so I can understand how people might be uncomfortable if they had to wait in line. Fortunately for us, we were the only ones when we came. We ordered two iced coffees - and much to our delight, there was a bigger option than just large AND they had soy milk AND the total was under five bucks. This doesn't happen in Portland, so we couldn't have been happier. Also, the coffee was darn good, too (and, no, I didn't find it weak - we drink our coffee bold and strong, and this hit the spot for us!). On the opposite hand, I admit, the service was only so-so - the girl serving us (while nice enough) really didn't seem like she wanted to be there. I can't say I blame her, again it was like 75 degrees out in November. Vitamin D calls us all, folks, especially when Winter Is Coming. If we hadn't have packed bagels for lunch (seriously, we did), we would have absolutely gotten them from here because they looked delicious. And the options were plentiful even during the late afternoon (don't you hate it when places run out? I get it, but it's frustrating): french toast, multigrain, onion, garlic, pumpernickel, asiago, wildberry, etc. Also I'm a sucker for fun cream cheese options, of which they also had: bacon and chive (together), walnut raisin, veggie, and even boursin. Cash only! read more

So--This is in a great location and has lovely outside seating. But it's a bagel place and it's bagels are a bit dry and a bit boring. What you do is bagels so, you know, shouldn't they be good? And the coffee was pretty meh as well. Step it up you guys--you have an automatic business because you're the closest walk from York Harbor Beach. read more

I'm still a fan of this place, but they toasted my bagel even though I didn't ask for it to be toasted. They shouldn't toast without asking! read more

Stopped in for coffee & bagels. I can be picky with bagels and these were good. I got the everything with chive cream cheese and the fiancé went with jalapeño cheddar bagel with plain cc. Both thoroughly enjoyed & will be back. It's nice to have a quick inexpensive option for breakfast while on vacation. They also have egg bagel combos for breakfast & lots of lunch options too. read more

Well this was disappointing. Should have listened to the reviews but my son wanted a bagel. Took both kids and none of us were impressed. Bagels are huge and the staff was very nice but the food quality was not great for a mom and pop type store. The worst part was my egg sandwich. They use a microwave to cook the egg??? Maybe some people like that, but it was not my idea of a good sandwich. Asked a bacon egg and cheese, but it had only one strip of undercooked bacon. I have rarely given lower than a three star review, but this was lucky to get two. read more

After Labor Day, you'd expect local businesses to be a little chiller and more friendly. Why, perhaps --even-- less surly at a minimum? Not here! The couple behind the counter kept a chilly eye on the few folks in the place. Was told the price for the cup of coffee in our hand as approached the gentleman behind the register. Wasn't asked if we wanted anything else. It was definitely one of the top 20 awkward exchanges in my life. I'll live, though! Left with only a small cup of tepid coffee instead of purchasing bagel sandwiches and more for the drive home. Agree with other Yelpers about the pricing being too small. Couldn't see any pricing for drinks or bagels. After writing this review, maybe they were mumbling under their breathes "here we go" because we got the coffee before going to the register. If so, signage should be clearer. read more

I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a everything. I received about a quarter pound of egg and 1 single sliver of stringy undercooked bacon. Very disappointed. Could only eat 1 bite. Waste of money. read more

Long line went fast, great customer service, Beautiful outdoor seating, some indoor seating, awesome bagels and options! We got a bacon egg and cheese, everything bagel with avocado dressing, then an everything bagel with veggie spread and ham egg and cheese. All were delicious!!!! read more

The only thing better than really fresh bagels and hot coffee, is really fresh bagels and hot coffee so close to a wonderful beach setting. This is just one of those little, local shops that goes above and beyond by putting together consistently delicious food. I always feel comfortable taking family and friends here who visit us and want to see the ocean. Of course we are hungry on the way to the ocean! I particularly love the bagel sandwiches, especially the veggie. My husband likes the egg sandwiches. My kids prefer a bagel with cream cheese. The wide variety of drinks is also appreciated. And the staff has always been smiling, literally every time I have ever come in! What more can you ask? read more

Bagel Basket - The Veggie is what keeps calling me back to the Bagel Basket. I try to recreate the secret avocado spread at home. So tasty! - Bagels Near Me - York, Maine

Today was my first time trying Bagel Basket. I had 2 eggs and cheese on an english muffin. I enjoyed it. It was not greasy at all, eggs were scrambled. My fiancé had 2 eggs with bacon on a bagel. The inside is small, but they have picnic tables and patio chairs on the outside to sit. Cute place, that hits the spot. read more

Bagel Basket - Didn't snap a photo of the full sandwich because I ate it too quickly hehe. - Bagels Near Me - York, Maine

Looking at some of the positive reviews on here, maybe I was there on an off-day because what I received was unarguably the worst bagel sandwich I've ever, ever had. Ever. The sesame bagel tasted like I was chewing on styrofoam. I don't even want to speculate as to what the "eggs" in the #4 egg, bacon & cheese were actually made from, but it did not taste like any actual eggs were present. I've eaten plenty of Dunkin' Donuts "egg" sandwiches in my day so I'm very familiar with that fake microwave egg taste and this was worse. And finally, the cheese wasn't even melted. Just a cold slice of cheese thrown on top, as if it were an afterthought. I got my bagel to-go for the drive home so I didn't have an opportunity to voice my complaints directly to the staff. I don't see myself returning to give Bagel Basket a second try. Especially after having discovered St. Joe's Coffee only a few minutes down the road, a MUCH better option for breakfast. [shrug] read more

These bagels aren't even made in house. They get then from Boston each morning. The coffee isn't fresh. Big bummer

This place has a well-deserved great local reputation... friendly service and top notch, delicious food. You can't go wrong!

Bagels and spreads on point! Plus much more. BEST SALT BAGEL NORTH OF BOSTON- Fast/friendly service, perfect for early work mornings or leisurely days at the beach. See you there! read more

Very unimpressed. Coming from an area rich in bagel store options, my expectations were high and I was let down. They serve a very bready, dry bagel. I just did a dozen assorted with some veggie cream cheese in a tub. One positive, the cream cheese was pretty good, up there with many bagel shops in my area serving home-made cream cheese options. I drove out from York Beach to this place this morning. I really see no reason to go back. read more

Staff was nice, place was clean & coffee was good. My breakfast sandwich was just a little meh. Nothing the staff did, just typical egg beaters in a microwave type bagel sandwich. We didn't have a lot of time so it fit what we needed it for. read more

I really don't understand the raving reviews about Bagel Basket. I walked up to Bagel Basket one Sunday morning for an everything bagel with bacon, egg and cheese. The bagel wasn't really covered like an everything bagel should be, it only had a few seeds here and there. The bacon was microwavable bacon and that brought the quality down. Now for my bagel cravings I drive to NewburyPort. read more

Not horrible, but really a semi stale-ish, heavy bagel that just isn't what you want. A good bagel should have a crunchy outside with a nice shell, but the inside should be soft and not so dry. (these don't have that quality) I think they are bringing these bagels in from somewhere but decent if you are in a pinch ... read more

This place has a great feel to it. There are Adirondack chairs outside to sit in and eat your bagels, a great variety of clearly baked every morning bagels, and everything I tried there was superb. I would kill for a place like this in Boston where I live, Dunkin Donuts can't hold a candle to it and the prices for their breakfast sandwiches are VERY reasonable (all under 4 dollars no matter what you get). I can't understand how people had bad experiences here, went here twice in the three days I was in the area and wish I lived closer so I could go back daily. It's that good. read more

We were looking for an espresso and saw this charming place. It was decorated so pretty out front with all the fall decorations! The inside was charming, and warm, and had a great vibe to it. You order at a counter, then take your drink/food into a dining area with cool, eclectic furniture (I loved the hardwood floors). My friend had the espresso, and I had a hot chocolate. Both were very good. We also had a delicious muffin. Had I been here longer, I would have gone back for a real lunch. Good service, too. read more

I have been to this place multiple times a day for my entire week long visiting the area. The bagels are great and can be ordered as a sandwich or meal. The coffee and other drinks are excellent. The staff is friendly and efficient and this a one of a kind very unique place. This restaurant is super busy and is only open for breakfast and lunch. Bring some cash as they do not take credit. read more

From a Vermonters point of view: While the cinnamon raisin bagel was good, too much cream cheese on bagels. Definitely grab a knife to scrape off excess. While reading the reviews, my fiancee told me that everyone raves about their coconut hazelnut iced coffee. Don't believe the hype. Nothing special. Speedy service. However, when thanked after receiving the bagel, the response was "yeah". read more

This place gets very crowded, but they serve up some tasty bagels and sandwiches, and have a nice selection of Green Mountain coffees. As another reviewer mentioned, it would be great if they could add at least one gluten-free bread item (bagel, English muffin, roll, etc.) as well as a dairy free cream cheese and/or butter. With so many people having allergies these days, it'd be nice to be able to go to one place where the whole family could enjoy some food. Still one of the better fast/take-out breakfast options in the area. read more

the lady working at the window was super rude, she interrupted me mid order and YELLED "i can't hear you". i understand it is hard to hear people with masks but she could have said it nicely. also my bacon egg and cheese was pretty much just an egg, it tasted like nothing read more

Bagel Basket - a person holding a half eaten sandwich - Bagels Near Me - York, Maine

My husband and I literally just finished our breakfast sandwiches and my God were they out of this world good. Aside from the good food Bagel Basket really accommodated everyone so well. When we first arrived there was a long line ahead of us. I was pleased to see everyone was social distancing well and the line moved quickly and our wait for our food was minimal too. When our turn came to order I noticed a clean and dirty cup for pens to sign your receipt. Thank you guys for taking so many good precautions and making a delicious breakfast to top off the last day of our vacation, I can't wait to come back! read more

This place is insane. Young folks who work here have no idea about any Ingredients. My son can't have any dairy and sometimes bagels are covered with butter or some flavors have some kind of dairy. I simply asked if they know which flavors are 100% dairy free. Nope. They didn't. I ended up having a cup of soup and 1 bagel and I was very surprised when my bill came up to $10. Seriously?? $10 for a bagel and a cup of not so good soup? Weird. read more

Went here for breakfast. Very busy but wait was reasonable. Ordered two bacon, egg, and cheese, one on Asiago and one on sesame seed bagel. Sesame bagel was good; the Asiago was plain. Sandwiches also had hardly any bacon. Also ordered 2 iced coffees which were good- add your own cream and sugar. Although I've had better breakfast sandwiches it's a decent stop if you're in the area. read more

My sister ordered a bagel combo #6 which isn't even on the menu it has #1-5 & then #7. She told the cashier bagel w/ egg, sausage & no cheese, the cashier repeated it back. When we got the order it wasn't what she ordered & we tried to replace it & they wouldn't, they charged us for a new one. Being in the service industry myself, which is closed, not only would I fix the order free of charge but I would be grateful people were coming to my establishment & that I had income coming in. I will NEVER go back to such an ungrateful establishment, I will spend my unemployment money at a more grateful place. read more

We were on our bikes and stopped in for lunch. We ordered bowls of haddock chowder. The staff was not overly friendly. It came out warm and one bowl had lots of fish while the other had a couple chunks of potato. While they stated that WiFi was available, we could not connect and no one seemed interested in helping us. Also, if a café is going to feature coffee, it should serve good coffee. The brand they have is what is referred to as gas station coffee. read more

This place got good reviews and that's why we tried it. Very disappointing!! My husband got a 160z pumpkin pie latte, he couldn't taste the coffee and the cup was not filled all the way. The foam on my capp was full of holes and must have been 210 degrees. We didn't have them redo them because several people were in line and they were closing. read more

We stumbled Upon this little gem. The bagels were so fresh the eggs were plentiful light and fluffy and the bacon was nice and crispy. I wish it wasn't out of our way while traveling back home because I'd stop again!! Definitely worth the wait in line!! read more

Good stop for a quick/light bite before starting the day, stopped twice on my recent vacation.

Thought maybe I caught them on a bad day but my experience was similar to some other reviewers. Surly, grumpy counter help from the woman and man running the place. Not welcoming at all. No thanks, I'll find other options in the future. read more

A staple of York. Great sandwiches and average coffee. Cash only but they do have an atm. Recommend to others. Always go when I travel to York. read more

Horrible bagels that resemble what you find in the bread section of a grocery store , rude counter service , barely any parking , they only take cash wtf? This is 2017 get it together . I also think I was overcharged as I paid almost 13$ for 6 bagels and a small container of cream cheese that only covered 3 bagels . I could have ordered 6 bagels with cream cheese for the same price . I won't be back read more

Great coffee setup with great selection of bagels and toppings. About the Lou place open close to York Beach ( this time of year - April)

Went here for the first time after going by it plenty of times and seeing lines and lots of people. Sadly, we were a bit disappointed though. The bagels were all fine, as was the cream cheese, but it seemed a bit pricey. On top of that they don't accept credit cards and they don't clearly list their prices for bagels and tubs of cream cheese, which makes it difficult to figure out how far your cash will take you. We only had a $20 on us and after placing our order had to put some things back because we had basically just been guessing what everything cost, and underestimated the prices. read more
