I love this place! So welcoming and feels like a bagel shop should feel. The food is good and the prices are good too! I would totally recommend going there. read more

It was ok. They have a very large menu, the staff wasn't super friendly, but they weren't rude. I ordered their version of a bacon/egg/cheese on a jalapeno cheddar bagel. It was a bit on the smaller side and was a little softer than I like my bagels - mostly because it was a little too chewy. There wasn't much jalapeno cheddar flavor to it either, but I didn't have to wait too long for my order to be prepared. The space itself is a little dark and could use some updates, but it's functional for what they need, I suppose. But unfortunately, I'm not jumping at the chance to go here again. read more

My daughter picked up breakfast for us at Bagel Nation, and it was a great start to the day! I ordered the Country Wrap on a sun-dried tomato wrap, and it was fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. All of the ingredients worked perfectly together, and everything was cooked just right. You can really tell care goes into the food here. I will definitely be stopping by again on my next visit! #BagelNation #BreakfastDoneRight #FreshAndFlavorful #GoodEats #WillBeBack read more

Good service. Grabbed a bag of day old bagels for $4 and a small container of cream cheese also $4. Honey walnut cream cheese was so delicious. Creamy and not overly sweet. I don't like walnuts, but they were finely chopped and I loved it. Bagels were great after toasting them! Soft and chewy on the inside. read more

Fantastic Bagel & Lox!!!! Service was GREAT!!! They give you plenty of smoked salmon on your Bagel... Additionally they have plenty of different types of coffee to choose from! read more

Absolute favorite bagel in Charleston. Always stuffed with cream cheese, always fresh, always fast. Staff works hard and is kind. They've rearranged the shop a little so it's easier to stand and wait for to gos, and it's always clean. read more

It's not the best bagel I've ever had, but they have tons of options and it's pretty good. The price is way closer to a traditional NY BAC than some of the other places in West Ashley. Everyone here is super friendly and the food comes out fast. Great place to grab a quick breakfast if you're in the area shopping or running errands. read more

I wish I could give them 3.5 stars. Let me start with, I love going to Bagel Nation. Pros: The people are usually very busy but nice. The food is good. Their cream cheese and bagels are amazing. Cons: It is so small. People are always waiting for their food right on top of you since there is no good waiting area. The ceiling is disgusting. I am uploading a picture of the insane dust accumulated on the vents. There are also stains, broken tiles, and loose tiles. It makes me wonder what else, behind the scenes, is like that. Everything I can see is very clean, except the tiles. I still go there and enjoy it, but... don't look up. Update: My mom refuses to go here now, her favorite place, because the kitchen was so dirty. I did not see it but trust her opinion. read more

I did not take pics and this was already like two weeks ago, but I explained we must have had an off day last order because my sons (3.5 yo)bacon only Had like barely 2.5 pieces of bacon and it wasn't edible, it was greasy yet not cooked through. So we ordered our food which was two breakfast sandwiches, another order of bacon and a bagel not toasted to take home. The cashier must punched it in on the ticket a full order of bacon, cause I immediately heard someone say why would someone ask for a whole order with an attitude, so I tried to explain. Anyways, we waited for our order and while they did that I asked for the bagel, then shortly after they handed me a small paper bag with two boxes. So I knew the sandwiches were in there but I checked to see if the bacon was. The guy that handed me the bag literally laughed and just said he wanted to see if I was going to catch the bacon missing.... Like really??! So he went and the back and there was more laughing and loud talk about my "missing bacon" and I just couldn't believe how he and that one lady were acting. So unprofessional! I mean we used to really like the food to go. But the place is rundown, just looking at dust on the ceiling, and their food and service has obviously gone way down. I told them to screw and we'd never be back. They literally have a new breakfast place opening up next door, so I'd be careful if I were them. I know we can't wait to try it, sometimes change is for the better!!! read more

Love this spot! It's nothing fancy but tons of bagel selection. Feel like a fun thing to do for weekend breakfast to try them out! Does have indoor seating, not so much outdoor. Walking in the menu will feel a little much but they do give you time or paper ones so you can take you time deciding . It come with a membership punch card , think if you buy 10 bagels get 1 free or with purchase of speciality bagel one punch. I tried a breakfast bagel and my husband got the lox we loved and came two days later for more Parking spaces are ample. read more

Ok food but absolute garbage service. Someone needs to hold a class on customer service for their employees. A rudderless ship in the sea on pathetic and unengaged employees. Who says the F&B business is tough. Just open a store, treat customers like shit and watch the money come in. Shame on you! read more

18 Bagels for $8.92? Who wouldn't like that?! So yes, I got a BOGO on day old bagels ($2.22 per hall dozen, + the 6 free). Again, who wouldn't like that?! I ate 2 bagels once I got home they were so good. I'll need to watch that in the future...but I'll be enjoying Bagel Nation for years to come. read more

I was excited to order a Manhattan everything bagel. it was dried out, wasted 10.00. I wasn't given a receipt in my bag. The worst bagel I've had. Don't have receipt to get a refund. read more

Always a solid choice! Their bagels are great (we always ask for double toasted though). Service speed is really dependent on how busy but they're always friendly. We love grabbing their day old bags as well. Lunch sandwiches are a great pick too - really like the Wall Street Club read more

Good food. Fair prices. Friendly service. They have a wide variety of options which is great. They have long wait times so order ahead. read more

The bagels are amazing! The hot bagels have been made well and there are lots of flavors to choose from. The one downfall is the staff is not super friendly and the wait is longer than it should be. Other than that, worth the stop! read more

Stopped by here for a bagel breakfast sandwich and it didn't disappoint! I was excited to see they have pork roll -- naturally had to get pork roll and egg on an onion bagel. The bagel tasted fresh and fluffy, and the customer service was good. read more

Bagel Nation - Pork roll and egg on an onion bagel! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I visited this shop in the late morning, and it was slightly busy but the staff were quick and efficient with the orders. They have great selection and you can see all of the flavors through the glass window. They also have other breakfast options, a fridge with many different cream cheeses(including oreo). They have a rack of "day old bagels" which is an amazing deal, i purchased 6 bagels for 4 dollars. I also found it unique that there was a banana nut bread flavor bagel. They have tons of choices for everyone. Although it is a slightly small store there are some tables to sit at and it has a nice diner type vibe. Pricing is very good as well, very affordable and good for the family. read more

I was hoping to grab a quick breakfast, so ordered online at 8:58 and it said my order should be ready at 9:15 for pick up. Got the to ever crowded Bagel Nation at 9:17 and still had to wait 10 minutes for my order. Bagel was tasty, but the eggs were starving for some salt. Long wait for average food and customer service. read more

Bagel Nation - Denver bagel with ham - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Excellent bagels, they impress you visually right as you walk in. This place also offers an extensive menu for breakfast and sandwiches for lunch. I got the Liberty Lox bagel sandwich, which I am told comes with extra lox than if you build your own and as a bonus comes with a side or chip/potato salad/pasta. The price was right. Other customers note long wait times, which I can attest to, but WELL worth it as they take care in putting together your sandwich. read more

The food is really good and the price is reasonable I got the southern belle I definitely recommend it!

Boiled...check. Nice stinky onion and garlic bagel....check Smoked salmon sliced.....check Good cream cheese....check Purple onion.....check Not too many goober bagel flavors like blueberry and banana...check New York approved....check. read more

Thank goodness for bagels in West Ashley!!!! I have been waiting for this morning where I can get a bagel with cream cheese close to home for a long time! There were 11 coffee flavors to choose from and an iced coffee option. 20 various bagel varieties were available, including my northern girl favorites salt, everything, garlic, and cheese. Sandwiches were also available. While nothing beats a Detroit bagel, I am glad to have this place open so close to home and can't wait to visit again! I am adding to my review, a week later and slightly later time than last visit meant I must have just missed the morning rush! Still consistent customer flow, and bagels were fresh and delicious. Adding to the review, I came at a much later time of day, no rush but still delicious! I love this place! read more

I come here a lot of Sunday's for breakfast. The service is always extremely slow but if you have time to wait the bagels are pretty legit. This last time however, there was no line at the register and all I ordered was 2 bagels with cream cheese. I waited half an hour before checking to see how much longer. There was still 6 orders ahead of me. I asked for a refund and left. I understand being busy but when I ordered, it wasn't and maybe 30 minutes would have been acceptable if I was ordering their breakfast sandwich bagels but for just a bagel with cream cheese? There are too many other bagel options in Charleston for that. read more

Update. I don't know what's going on with this place but thank goodness they have India. She has been their saving grace with me right now. I've been here regularly since they opened. Today would have been the final draw had India not intervened. I had buy one get one breakfast coupon from Valpak. Management would not accept it. I explained to India's that thesis was goes it gets offered online but I paid for two breakfast sandwiches anyway. India showed the management how Valpak works online and they decided to refund me one of my sandwiches. When the manager called my came to get my breakfast sandwiches shed just left it in the counter. I hope these are mine. Yesterday I called in to place my order and the phone was sweet down but I read around the corner so I didn't mind. India apologized and offered to pay for one of my sandwiches. Monday I ordered the Jalepeno Chedder southwestern wrap and no incidents then. I was here this past weekend and my sandwiches was not even made until I had asked for it. Dannys breakfast wrap was almost gone. Before I realized that I still didn't have mine. In all fairness. I helped him eat his Siuthwestern Jalepeno Cheddar wrap. It was delicious. Is it just me? If you notice from my first review I love this place. I form mind doing to other places and I am hoping this is just a one off. ----------------------- So glad they got this one so close to my house. I stopped working in James Island a couple of years ago and was so estatic when I heard this place was opening. I love the breakfast here. The prices are reasonable. The staff is awesome. One of them called my baby the minute I got to her. It was sweet. This place is an exact duplicate of the one on James Island. It even feels like it's been here for years. Kudos and welcome to West Ashley. So is it bad that I have made it here like 2 days in a row for breakfast? We'll see how long my streak will be. read more

So you want a bagel? breakfast? This is the place! Privately owned( I think), which usually means better quality food and personalized service. I've eaten here twice ; first time Lox and bagel. They ga e me so much smoked salmon, it barely fit on the bagel. The bagels are large and full of delicious seeds. Try the everything bagel. We also tried the pastrami and corned beef sandwich bagels which were delicious. I liked the potato salad as well. Its hidden away in strip mall across from Home Depot so use your Google maps. I think you'll like the large number of choices. read more

I had low expectations, but I heard they import the water from the Northeast. I had a pretty good everything and cin raisin bagel with cream cheese. Both had a nice chew. My whole family enjoyed the bagels they had. I would love to go back and try their whole wheat everything. read more

Delish bagels but poor operations. Service is very slow but I think it may have something to do with COVID/being short staffed. I will continue to come here but find myself frustrated by the otherwise unnecessary wait. read more

Definitely a welcome addition to the West Ashley area, and a giant plus for being able to order ahead online. I am looking forward to being able to pick up breakfast sandwich bagels on lazy weekend mornings! I docked a star today because it seems they're still going through some growing pains which is as expected for a newly opened location. I ordered the Liberty Bagel (smoked salmon / lox) which the person who prepared it didn't really know how to make. She handed it to me in a bag initially and then snatched it back (literally lol) after the other woman in the prep area told her it wasn't prepared correctly. They made it like a sandwich the first time and cut it in half. When I got it back, it was in a to-go box with each side laid out separately as the sandwich normally is. It wasn't until I went to eat it that I realized they had cut the Bagel in half the first time but when they re made it they didn't do the same with the toppings and it was just falling apart. It tasted great, but was difficult to eat since the person preparing it was obviously still learning. Also, I read on the board that the bagel sandwiches come with sides but no one offered me one. I asked the girl at the counter and she let me pick one of pasta salad, potato salad or chips. Just a few kinks to work out. read more

Bagel Nation - Liberty Bagel Sandwich (Bagel & lox) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Good food, but I was overcharged and they didn't offer to fix it. Average. You could pass.

Walked in today because I was craving a lox bagel and I was not disappointed. My order was taken quickly and the bagel sandwich included a side. There was generous portions of salmon on top of my everything bagel, and even had capers. Toasted fresh, I was in and out and took this meal to go. read more

Overall first time experience it was subpar. I got a quick easy frazzle bagel with honey butter and the best part of it was the sugar sprinkled on the outside. The cashier was not friendly and gave a very blank stare with no hello. Looking down with her face with her eyes staring up giving a very annoyed expression that I came in to order. (Wrote this originally and at the time decided not to submit) It's been a couple months now and decided to give another try because I know there's always off days. Same bagel but with cream cheese. Much better. The gentleman who handed me my order offered a smile and welcome. But that same front cashier was there and not a thing changed. I offered a friendly good morning. But no type of welcome in. Just an abrupt "what do you want" with a half eye roll. Maybe being put on cash register should be reevaluated because apparently it's just not her thing in the morning. Will love to get another bagel but not with Ms Debby Downer read more
