Big Apple Bagels is great and haven't been disappointed. The bagels are fresh and the different options and the different cream cheese options are great. Haven't had a bad one yet it's a great stop on the way to work. I have looked at the menu one of these days I'll actually get more than just a bagel they have so many options to add to a bagel. The staff is polite and right on it every time. read more

I only give this place a (1) star rating because I cannot give it any lower. I am in Dubuque this weekend for a baseball tournament and I will tell you right now you're in the middle of HELL. I initially went to Einstein's Bagels / Caribou Coffee to get a Nova Lox Bagel and a cup of coffee. I was informed that they no longer have fresh bagels everything they have is premade. Naturally I googled bagel shops here in Dubuque and a Big Apple Bagel came up. I've been to these before although not at this location so I really wasn't expecting anything great as it was. I go in and ask the girl for a Lox and Bagel. She replied that she did not know what that was and what I like something else. I actually find this kind of funny because whoever was rolling the bagels really needs to take a class on how to do it correctly because they resembled horseshoes and not a bagel. The manager of the location chuckled and stated they ran Einstein's bagels out of business and I simply replied I surely don't know how because you guys also don't have a clue. If you're looking for a good bagel in Dubuque it just simply does not exist and quite frankly most of the food here is garbage. Go far away and I mean very very far away. read more

I mean just amazing food overall and on top of that a great price. anything cooked is cooked in front of you fresh and tastes great.

This place used to be THE best. I came back to visit and the bagels were super small and not as soft as I remember them as a kid. The customer service was great though. read more

Jesse was the best 10/10 service and food was amazing. Deserves a raise. Food was never cold and mini muffins ARE GREAT

I cannot recommend Big Apple Bagel enough! They helped cater an event for me last minute and they were so incredibly helpful. The cinnamon rolls were divine and the muffins exceptional. Everyone gobbled them up. They were kind, professional, and accommodating. Thanks Big Apple Bagel! read more

Ran in to grab 6 bagels and 1/2 pound cream cheese. I told the worker to grab any 6 since it was for myself and co workers. I wasn't paying attention and trusted her. I got to work and there were only 5 bagels and cream cheese. So embarrassing. read more

In a rush to get to the airport. I had the onion bagel with veggie cream. Very good bagel and cream cheese. Crowded and slow line to get served. You can call ahead and place your order which many people were doing. Would return if in the area. read more

Their Breakfast is Nice, Fresh, Inexpensive, Healthy, and Creative!! I drove by this place twice a week in the past year -- my family just moved to Dubuque last year -- and never get a chance to walk in, although it looks interesting and clean and the sign is so inviting. We used to love breakfast at Bruegger's so much when we lived in Syracuse, NY, that we had to go there every weekend's morning. This Sunday is Mother's Day, and my dear mother-in-law was in town to see my little boy. She was about to leave to hit the road, and I knew she loves bagels for breakfast, plus other breakfast place were supposed to be crowded due to Mother's day weekend, so we decided to try Big Apple Begels -- turned out this place offered a variety and FRESH bagels menu. Everyone loved it. I had omelette (Northern-style omelette) with Everything bagel, and found out that their bagel was fresh, omelette was cooked to order, and everything is just so good -- reminding me of our all-time-favorite Bruegger's!! I'm sure that we have to come back again for breakfast on the weekend!! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches. I usually go for the northern omelet on an everything bagel (delicious). Today I tried a new sandwich (and only available for a limited time) the ranchero. It has guacamole, jalapeños, egg, cheese and hot sauce, I also added sausage to mine. It was good, but there wasn't much guacamole on it which is what I was really looking forward to! I think I'll stick to my Northern omelet in the future! read more

The bagels are decent. The counter people almost never write down your order. We find our orders are wrong about 90% of the time. They're also slow. It's terribly frustrating as a customer. read more

I was here at 3:00 on a weekday and they only had 2 coffee options and the stove was already off so i couldn't get a cracked egg on my sandwich. one of the girls who wasn't helping didn't seem to be very happy to be there and felt like she was trying rush us out even though we were here 2 hours before closing time. read more

I grew up in Dubuque and loved getting Big Apple with my mom on occasion. Now that I live in Portland, OR, this is one of two places that are must-eat when I come home to visit. Absolutely delicious. read more

I used to go here all the time and love the bagels but they keep getting skinnier and skinner! Would suggest fattening them up again...

I've been coming here for at least 15 years and swear by it any day over Panera. I'm so happy to see them still going strong. I don't remember their menu changing too much over the years nor does it need to. Always quality staple items. My favorite is the veggie sandwich on swiss melt. I love all of their mini muffins. The perfect size to go with your meal. The workers are usually younger gals and are always very friendly, upbeat, and helpful. read more

My favorite ever!!! I've never had a single complaint! My mom and I frequent here often and I just recently introduced my boyfriend to it, he's in love! I know it's a sand which shop but I'd totally eat dinner here as well, which the hours were longer! read more

We go there every morning before school. The bagels are great and there is an immense variety for those picky eaters. The cream cheese is the best, the bagels are fresh, and the service is terrific. It's a great way to start off your day. read more
