My favorite bagel shop. I returned home for Christmas and had to get my bagels. Let's start either the Apple Pie bagel. OMG. Soft pillows bread, ooey gooey apple filling on top that seeps down into the bagel hole. Then, there's the Blueberry cobbler bagel. It had a crunchy crumble on top and a little of that ooey cobbler filling underneath. Next up is the Apple cinnamon. This may be more your speed if the ooey gooey is over the top. It is simple but packs a lot of flavor. Little Apple bites spread throughout the bagel. Now, if you like the traditional type bagel, they've got you covered as well. Did I mention how big and pillows these bagel are? They are made fresh throughout the morning, too. BONUS: They have seasonal coffees available for you to try. If you like a neighborhood gem spot that doesn't feel commercial and serves tasty food, this is the spot. Not to mention that they also have muffins and bagel sandwiches as well. Check them out! read more

Big Apple Bagels - Blueberry Cobbler Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

Not only is the outside entrance dirty and unwelcoming, so is the service of hospitality. I never felt so unwelcoming spending money, the energy there is dry and dreadful. Announcing that it was my first there didn't change anything as well, which was a meeting to discuss the housing market with my agent, the menu was not fully explained so I ended up with a $7.20 unknown raw breakfast sandwich. I wasn't sure if it was my hunger or the sandwich but it was pretty good, not even 15-20 minutes after the lights were clicked and we were in the dark . There was no visible time of hour signs around , so I asked the lady with her hands on her hips with a mean face staring at us were they closing, after stating it to my agent she stated firmly yeah. We grabbed our things and headed out the door. No thank you, I initiated have a good day to her with no smile. while she said nothing to the gentleman ( other couple ) that stayed in there with her a little longer with no attitude as she locked the door . Well bottom line is I understand why their'er rating is low and well deserved, they will not be receiving a second chance with my dollars !!. read more

It's funny I've been in this location four times but I've only actually been in here one time text to get the bagel. I actually wanted I was in there this morning absolutely already within one hour more than half of the bagels were already sold out the only ones that were left for just your standard regular ones that were an over abundance of them left. The cashier at the front was rude when I was like oh hey, you guys are already almost sold out an hour. Her reply was yeah in an hour and 12 minutes because that extra 12 minutes really mattered. I'm good with this location. I will not be given them business ever again. read more

I'm extremely disappointed. I have been craving big apple bagels for weeks now and today I decided to make the drive out here. They are supposed to be open until 1pm and Apple Maps claimed they were open. Once I arrived I see a paper sign on the door that says "closed." I wasted time and gas to come out here. read more

Very rude staff. A staff member sat there and played with her hair right next to the other person making our food while complaining about other customers loud enough to hear. Very unprofessional and unacceptable. read more

The staff at the Clinton Twp. Mi store are very polite and professional. The food is amazing and fresh and hot. My coworker and I visit there at least 3 times a week. We are always welcomed with a hello and smile. Great food, customers, and staff. Art, Paul read more

Constantly out of bagels. Seem to close whenever they feel like it. Not sure how they're still in business.

Good fresh bagels made in house. Not the best in town but if using a coupon or go on the deal day, it's not too bad. We prefer their bagel breakfast sandwiches and deli sandwiches. Made to order and good cold cuts. Decent amount of meat too. Deli sandwich is $6.99 not a bad deal for a decent size sandwich. read more

Only 8 in morning g and already out of almost every thing. No muffins very limited bagels. I won't be coming here again.

I came up yesterday and apparently they're closed Thursdays . The just put paper up so I didn't know so forward to today ,called up and they ignored my calls a few times . The lady was rude to the old lady in front of me . She was rude to me as well. And almost everything's out of stock and it's not even 9:30 so they just turn the baskets around. I asked for a certain cream cheese and she pointed at something , not friendly at all. Since everything's out of stock I decided to not get my bagel and the old lady at the register said "ok..." with the biggest attitude. I'm up here for the week and that was the worste big apple I've ever been to honestly. read more

Bagels are fantastic (when they are open). I had previously rated them a 1 because they were closed every time I went. So I got smart. I call first. They won't save me any of my fav kind. First come. First serve. read more

Absolutely love the staff! Amazing bagels and good cream cheese. I get my food in a good amount of time, and overall just an amazing experience read more

When this bagel shop opened in our neighborhood, it was such a wonderful place for the community together. The owner even had tables and chairs outside. Many mornings people were gathered out there to enjoy each other'scompany and have breakfast. Within the past two years it's almost like they want to go out of business. Many times they close earlier before they are supposed to. Their hours are changed regularly. Very rarely do they have the kind of bagel I want because they are sold out. And usually at an early time. But this morning was the worst. I went in and there was, an older woman doing a lot of talking in the back. I tried several times to get her attention. When she finally came to the counter, she acted like she was completely annoyed that I had interrupted her conversation. I told her that I wanted my bagel lightly toasted. As you can see, they were burnt pieces. As much as I want to continue going there because it is so close, within walking distance and the bagels are good, I don't know if I will be back . read more

This place is finished, but used to be good. It's always a problem: short hours, faulty equipment, lack of product, power out, complacent staff, you name it. My last 3 visits I left empty handed for various reasons. I'll never bother again, hopefully they die soon to avoid wasting anyone else's time ‍ read more

So- this is NOT a BIG APPLE Bagel. The bagels in NY/New Jersey are distinct due to the water. NYC Bagels do not have Cornmeal on the bottom like these. I was also with a Native New Yorker (not from Brooklyn- a true New Yorker) to confirm my findings. With that said, I'm still a fan of anything that is a good Carb. This place opens at 5am and there is no real line during the commuting hours. Please beware that service is sooooooo slow. I had a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with Cream Cheese (don't get the Fat Free stuff). If you really need Fat Free cream cheese, you probably shouldn't be eating a bagel. In addition, I got to try one of their many Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches (simple BLT and a Egg). This place is very reasonably priced at around 3 dollars. I will be back, but this is no BIG APPLE BAGEL. I'll called them my Michigan Bagel from now on. read more

i used to love going here because they have amazing bagels but every single time i go they are closed. I don't understand how this place is still even open because the hours are complete bullshit. i get coupons and can't even open because every time i go to this location they're closed. i am beyond disappointed. i am boycotting this location but they won't even know because they're never even open. read more

They are always closed earlier than online says, and closed many days of the week. Never have enough bagels made no matter how early you go.

Not sure how this place is still open or open maybe three days a week when they don't have a side window thing to close I go in there today and buy some muffins and did not have one box available for you and Stephanie not Aaron I used to love going to the wrong time to say I won't waste my time anymore at the time I drive out of my way to go there and they're not open then I find myself on that side of town today and no muffins. I am not sure how their doors are still open too sad read more

Bagels were brought in to my workplace. I'm a NYC bagel person all the way. I thought what the hell a free bagel from a place called Big Apple Bagel why not. These are not even close to a NYC bagel but it was really good. I had the everything bagel real soft inside nice firm outer. The seasoning was not over done like other bagels I've had, but well done. The cream cheese was silky smooth a real treat not just a tub of knife breaking white hockey puck. Will try the place again. read more

Big Apple Bagels - To my surprise really good - Bagels Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

So they typically close at 9, today their sign in the window stated that they close at 2 PM. I got there at 1:15 and the door was already locked. This is not the way that you stay in business read more

9 am,no salt bagles,wtf. Horrible ownership, always out of stock items. Been here multiple times and always are out of stuff. Needs new ownership and better workers. read more

Haven't been here in years, thought I'd give them a try again since I miss their blueberry cobbler bagels. Every time I try to go here they're closed! read more

Bagels are amazing. Just like NYC bagels. Chewy and tasty, not the dry, hard rocks you often find around here. Why did I give this place 2 stars? S. L. O. W. This place is only open in the morning, until mid-afternoon. You think they would cater to a I'm-in-a-hurry-on-my-way-to-work crowd...and they do, but the service is too slow to be able to get in and out quickly. I don't understand why they do have the cashiers toasting bagels or slicing them to help the person out in the back. Everyone ends up waiting on one person. 2 people in front of me and today I waited almost 10 min. Again, the bagels are amazing! Asiago Melt KILLS panera's asiago cheese bagel, but the service really needs to speed up, or find a different way to be able to get people in and out quicker. read more

young girl working the register is BEYOND rude. they are out of literally everything besides like 5 bagel flavors by 1030. why not restock?

Awful service. The young girl had no desire to give good service for a return visit. She was eager to get back to cleaning. I asked her for a little more cream cheese on my bagel and she immediately started keying it in saying I'll charge your for a side. It's no surprise this place looks like it's going out of business. read more

Favorite bagel shop in Clinton Township. The ladies behind the counter are super nice too! Awesome bagel selection if you get there early enough. read more

The food and coffee are soo good. Love the jalapeño cream cheese but get there early, everythting is fresh so they sell out quick

5 stars for the bagels. They are always fresh! Perfectly toasted exterior and chewy inside. We are mostly a fan of the "everything" and they don't skip on the seeds/seasoning like most places. Tons of salt, garlic, onion, poppy, and sesame covering the whole surface of the generously size carb-a-licious circle of get-in-my-mouth-now! Other choices include cinnamon sugar, cinnamon raisin, Swiss melt, cheddar herb, cheddar jalapeño and danish just to name a few. They also sell Brewster coffee which is a very good quality bean, if you've never had it. I discovered recently the Michigan cherry and let's just say I'm slightly addicted. This is coffee that I dream about and eagerly wake up for! I don't particularly like flavored coffee, and usually just grab a house or breakfast blend, but this flavor is THE game changer! Its AHHHHmazing! They also have fountain drinks which include coke products and sell bottled drinks like Snapple. There is a wide variety of frozen and iced coffee drinks too. Along with bagels they carry giant muffin and cute little 2-bite mini muffins too. Sadly through, the 1st time we tried the muffins they were stale. I did call to let them know, and they did promise 2 muffins on my next visit, which they did in fact do- so good save there. The replacement muffins were fresh and very well received by those who ate them. In my option they were more like a dessert than a breakfast item though. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches for you to chose from, or you can build your own. Unless you have a coupon I really don't think it's worth it- they are kinda high priced. Bagels are a steal though, coming in at under $1 each, a few of the special bagels will run you $.40 more. Coffee refills are only $1.39, so bring your own big cup and fill up on some tasty joe. A large cup of coffee is $2.09 and regular is $1.89, still not a bad price considering it's free refills during your visit. Shhh, I won't lie, I drink at least one cup and then refill my cup to go. Bagels are 5 stars, coffee is 5 stars, but overpriced sandwiches dips it down a bit. If you like bagels come here and grab some. They bake them fresh onsite, so you're likely to get them warm outa the oven like we did at 11am today. read more

Bagels are very good (I especially like the cinnamon sugar warmed and cut). Their customer service is not the best seeing as they only have about 2 people working at a time so they're pretty slow. I did have a issue one time when I asked for my bagel to be cut and I showed her how I wanted it cut but when I received my bagel it was not cut the way I wanted it was only cut on the top when I asked for it to be cut in the middle (--) and on top (|) and when I asked politely for the lady to fix it she was quick to catch a attitude. read more

Bagels are good but the customer service is lacking big time. Very slow service, to the point people leave. Some (not all) of the staff can be very rude. No one wants to be barked at or treated like it's a nuisance to actually take a customers order. read more

Bagels are always awesome! I always have the grilled chicken everything bagel sandwich. Had it the other day and it was amazing! From the first bite incredible. Careful going there from 3pm on because they might be out of Everythings. The service less then perfect at times but if they screw up your order they're quick to remedy the problem. It always seems like there's only a skeleton crew working of one or two people but they get it done. Make sure you tell them exactly what you want on your sandwich and check it when you get it. It's a bit pricey if you get a combo meal around $8-$9. You do get a side of bagel chips unless they're out of them (I was able to get the regular potato chips instead) so don't get a side if you want to keep the cost down. If you stick to the bagels it's a but more affordable. Haven't tried their muffins yet but they look great! Overall a good bagel place. read more

Dear Big Apple Bagels, First, let me say, I really admire what you're doing. Making good bagels outside of NYC seems to be something that very few people have mastered, and you're doing a great job. But for the love of god, please stop putting so much salt on your everything bagels! It takes away from the flavor of everything else, and makes my sandwich go from a joy to eat to mildly painful to chew. I repeat: There is NO need for so much salt. Yours truly, A native New Yorker read more

Big apple bagels always goes above and beyond what the other bagel places do. I miss the fact that there aren't any of these stores where I live now. But when I am on the east side for the morning, I always make sure to stop by. Their muffins are to die for, their selection of cream cheese is awesome, and I would personally recommend the cheddar jalapeño cream cheese. It has just a touch of a kick, but also compliments the bagels well. Their gourmet muffins are always a delightful treat as well, sticking with the cheesecake variety, they all are amazing and really hit the spot for a tasty treat. Great job big apple bagels!!! Keep up the awesome work! read more

Have eaten good bagels in NYC for the past 6+ years. These bagels are good but not perfect. The outside is not hard enough and they are too thick. Some of the bagels are comically thick actually. Maybe Big Apple Bagels doesn't boil their bagels properly. Important note: there are tons of bad bagels to be had in NYC. Big Apple Bagels could definitely survive as a Tier 2 bagel seller in NYC. They're just not perfect! read more

I was recently contacted by the owner of this Big Apple. I am still disturbed that the manager on duty at the time of our issue did not know how to handle the situation. But I was happy to get a response from the owner and we exchanged some lengthy messages as she really seemed to want to understand the issue. Kudos to her for that. read more

I love their bagels all of their cheese bagels are so addicting. Converting your bagel into your favorite breakfast sandwich is another thing that makes this place amazing.although I wish it was open later in the afternoon because some people still eat breakfast for dinner. read more

Besides delicious bagels, this 5 Star review reflects how a situation was handled. That shows a lot about a business, and I will definitely be returning because of the way they handled it. I ordered the mini deal which is 6 bagels with a tub of cream cheese, but somehow, it was misunderstood that I wanted 6 bagels, sliced and toasted, with cream cheese already spread on them. The later costs more so I was questioning why my total was so high while I was paying, but the person at the register seemed confused so I just went along with it. Before I get my order, I ask another person if I could see why my total was so high ($26 at a bagel shop), and they said they'd get the manager. I get my order and realize the misunderstanding, so I let the manager know I had wanted 6 bagels and a tub of cream cheese. He not only let me keep the sliced and diced bagels, he gave me 6 new ones with the tub of cream cheese and the difference in $ back between the two. I was more than willing to just take the difference to keep the order, or even give it back for what I wanted, but he went above and beyond and did all of that for me. Needless to say, such good customer service warrants recurrent returns! Besides, the bagels are delicious! read more

The Italian bagel Sandwich I had was delightful. Truly. Fresh bagel, meats and cheeses but those gourmet muffins are the TRUE star of the show!!! The missing star is for the dead employee's. I understand it's 6 a.m but damn it, show some signs of life! The location is already a decrepit looking strip mall , liven up a bit!! read more

Best bagels in town!! Great selection. Apple pie bagel is my favorite. I also like listening to Jazz.

if i could do 0 stars, i would. ordered a BLT breakfast sandwich, had no bacon, no lettuce, no tomato. not sure how you fuck that up haha
