    North American breakfast.

    I'm literally only giving the two start for the two very friendly employees I encountered but that was the driest bagel I've ever had in my life. Not to be mean but :/ was not for me. I started picking through the sandwich and ditching the bagel:/

    Love stopping in here, they are always so friendly. Someone was about to buy out all of one flavor of bagel and she was going to steal one for me. I got the American sunrise with ham on jalapeno toasted. Delicious as always!

    Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally checked it out. It has good food and ok prices but it's not particularly memorable. My friend and I went for brunch, an ok crowd of regulars seemed to be present. I knew it was a bagel place but thought they'd have some other things, they don't really aside from some baked goods. Food, flavors are ok but serving size could be bigger and drink selection could be better. It's an ok place but not somewhere I'd frequent regularly.

    The bagels offered by this establishment was of satisfactory quality, however, it is worth noting that the ambiance and service were somewhat lacking.

    *MOLD REVIEW* Absolutely disappointing. It was my first time visiting BAB after a quick google search for a local bagel place and reading the first top 3 4-5 star reviews convinced me to go and try them out as I read that they not only have bagels but have great muffins too. I decided to give it a shot and I don't believe I will again. I ordered a Start Fresh breakfast sandwich on a honey oat bagel which is egg whites, tomatoes and turkey sausage. I substituted the tomatoes for red onion. As I was eating it, I kept thinking this tastes kind of funky and with every bite I took I continued to have this feeling. When I inspected the sandwich, I noticed the egg white is MOLDY and very clearly showing a green/gray/blue colour on the egg white as you can see in my photo. I was absolutely disgusted and am feeling rather sick at this moment due to that. I called the store and spoke to the manager at the time and her name was Jane (not native english speaker it seemed like). I let her know that her egg whites that I got were moldy. She did not once apologize for this, she instead decided to plead her case that "No, our egg whites are fresh, not moldy, but we can make you a new sandwich if you like". I did not appreciate her response to my having just ingested their moldy egg white that is making me feel sick. Did not offer a refund, only a new sandwich. I will be bringing whatever is left of the sandwich to the store today and showing them as it seems as though they did not believe me. I will also be contacting the general manager as these are franchised owned business and there was no indication that they would take off the egg whites from being sold. I can only hope that after the call, they checked on their egg whites and disposed of them. I also tried their mini muffins. At the time of writing this review, I tried the cookies and cream and it was tasty. I don't expect to have a mold related issue with their muffins. Please be wary.

    Not just a bagel shop but also muffins and pastries! I love all the different cream cheese flavors they offer. We tried the bacon cheddar cream cheese which I feel is a game changer for bagels. The bagel itself was decent but could probably use a bit more toasting as you can see in the color. Didn't grab a picture but also got the cinnamon muffin. That was delicious and very moist! They have a bunch of mini muffins as well so you can try different flavors all in one. Pretty decent bagel spot around fishers!

    Lox and bagel sandwich

    This place had such great reviews I couldn't wait to try it...hard to find quality bagels in Indy (except Broad Ripple). I'm obsessed with Bloomington Bagel shop down south- homemade bagels and cream cheese. I don't know why I was expecting something like that. I was nearby and came for lunch. Looked at the website to view the menu and was surprised that it was a small chain. Hmm. Went in and the man working was so friendly and nice!! He gets 5 stars. The food get -4 stars, hence how we reached one star. I ordered the bagel and lox sandwich. This is my standard order at any bagel place. Well. I took a bite and it did not taste good. The cream cheese was meh and the smoked salmon was terrible. Like seriously bottom of the barrel. If I pay $10 for this, you can at least give me middle-tier smoked salmon. Also they put onions on it when I saw no. I honestly couldn't finish more than a quarter of it. The bagel itself tasted good so I gnawed off the top of it that wasn't touching the cream cheese. A sad waste of money on an blah place. Boo.

    My wife and I stopped here this weekend for a quick breakfast stop after an early morning at Jupiter flights at Conner prairie. I originally was just going to grab a muffin because that's usually what I get, but they had a sign for a French toast egg sandwich and it looked very good. Overall, I thought it was a great breakfast sandwich. They always have great bagels. This sandwich was a French toast bagel, egg, sausage and syrup. Definitely may be too sweet for some but was right up my alley. I would definitely order it again.

    I think this picture says it all! I've tried bagels from all over Indy and I have to say this place is my favorite. Even if you don't get a bagel sandwich the bagels alone are fantastic. They serve both breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches both are equally as good. I will say though, the egg is microwaved that they use for the breakfast sandwich making the texture a little different but personally that does not bother me. This trip I did not get a muffin but I have in the past and they have always been fresh and moist, and they have a pretty good selection of different flavored, both jumbo and mini. This place can get pretty busy on the weekend but they do a decent job of getting the sandwiches out pretty quick.

    Good place. I wish the toasting and adding cream cheese was quicker but their bagels are good. They are friendly and their coffee is good too. Good selection and easy to jump into from 126th.

    On my way home from my chiropractor appointment, I decided to stop by Bearded Bagel to get some…read morebagels for the week and breakfast because I had not been here yet and wanted to check it out. Bearded Bagel is a wonderful bagel place off of E 96th St. that makes their own bagels and provides breakfast sandwiches. When I arrived and walked into the bagel shop, I noticed the menu on the wall right away, and a casual, but bland, ambiance where people can sit to relax and socialize. The woman behind the counter greeted me with a smile and asked for my order. I took a few minutes to study the menu, and decided to go with the Doctor T's Sandwich for breakfast which is egg, American cheese, and Turkey sausage on a plain bagel. I also picked up a 1/2 dozen bagels for the week and tried the assorted flavors: asiago, blueberry, jalapeno, jalapeno cheddar, cran cinnamon, and everything. I did get an iced latte with almond milk for my beverage. The beverage was wonderful and refreshing. It was what I needed to pick me up in the morning. The Doctor T's sandwich was Ok and tasted good. The turkey sausage and egg combination was a perfect fit, but will see if I can get it on a Jalapeno cheddar bagel next time, because that would make it even better. The bagels are always top notch and first class. The jalapeno cheddar bagel and jalapeno bagel are my favorite. The cran cinnamon bagel is always good. Bearded Bagel is a wonderful bagel place in Indy, and the fact that thet have another location opening up very soon off of 79th Street makes me very happy because I can go somewhere else to get their bagels. I'm very glad I stopped by at Bearded Bagel for breakfast because now I can say I have been here, and it is worth the price and time for the bagels and breakfast sandwiches. You will see me here again for sure.

    I visited Schoolhouse Seven Café on Saturday morning and ordered a brown sugar and cinnamon chai…read morelatte with oat milk, and it was delicious. The space itself is what appears to be an old schoolhouse, and it's incredibly warm and welcoming inside. There's a great mix of seating on the first floor, including community seating near a fireplace, smaller tables, and larger tables for groups. I noticed there's also an upstairs area that I didn't explore, but even just the main level felt homey and comfortable. It's definitely a spot I'd come back to for getting out of the house to work, bringing a laptop, or even meeting friends for a casual coffee date. The vibe is very cozy and inviting, and the staff was friendly and kind. The menu is thoughtfully curated, not overwhelming, but still offers a nice variety of syrups and flavors. My only small wish is that there were more loose-leaf tea options beyond black and green tea, but that didn't take away from the experience. Overall, this was a fantastic visit and a café I'd happily return to.

    There are many things to like about this place. They go hardcore for their concept (school themed…read morefor the one room schoolhouse), which is a definite win. And at least for the holiday season, the interior looks incredibly cozy and inviting. If you have nowhere to go for a few hours, it would be a nice place to hang out and chat with friends. However, the coffee is fine, not spectacular. And the wait on the Tuesday morning I stopped by was about 25 minutes. Maybe it was quicker in the drive thru, but then you'd miss out on the decorations. Overall, it's a cute enough place to stop by on a day off for a leisurely morning, but I don't know that I would make a special trip.

Food was good but my SO noted that the sausage in his SEC bagel tasted like it had been frozen. Not sure if it was frozen right before we got there or what, but thought that's worth noting. Staff was prompt greeting me and making my order. Place was a little dirty, but they were also in the process of cleaning. I suspect I came in right after a breakfast rush! Overall, not a bad experience at all, but it didn't really "WOW" me. Might be a good backup spot if your go to bagel shop is closed.

She was in the process of make about 5 bagel sandwiches for one customer. As we stood there at the counter waiting for some sort of greeting or " I'll be right with you " we got nothing but silence and were being ignored as if we were invisible. So we sat down to wait. As we sat- 3 minutes we decided to leave due to being ignored and lack of service. The worker did not speak or try to stop us. It was my guess that she was happy that we left so she would not have to prepare more food. Due to rude behavior and like care for customers we will pass on returning to this establishment. Going forward it should be a best practice to greet ALL CUSTOMERS regardless of being busy or not.
