This Big Apple has a nice assortment of fresh made daily bagels where the bagels on my one trip here were on steroids, in a good way, where they make the fattest/largest bagels I have ever purchased that also taste great. Relative to other aspects of this business , the Facility itself is very clean with a friendly wait staff to serve you. Overall, If you are a fan of well made bagels as I am, then you definately need to check this business out if you are in the area. read more

Big Apple Bagels - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Blanc, Michigan

Great fresh food and a staple in GB love it hear always lovely great service and food would suggest greatly

Went to the Grand Blanc location on 08-24-26. The place was filthy. Tables and chairs were not wiped down. I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. Never again. read more

This place has the best veggie cream cheese! Good selection of bagels and when they're fresh and hot they're very tasty. Staff is mostly high school kids but they're nice. The place is small but adequate for quick bite or for coffee read more

Big Apple Bagels - Rosemary olive oil with veggie cream cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Blanc, Michigan

Bagels are always fresh and delicious. I'm sad they do not offer any gluten free options. Some locations do offer them but i haven't found a location in mid Michigan that offers any. Other than that this is a great place to grab a bagel. read more

This place has gone downhill since the new ownership took over. Today we ordered a bagel with lox and the lox was brown, we paid 13$ for a bagel with nasty brown old lox which someone decided was ok to put on it and serve while making it. The iced tea machine is always out or broken and nothing is ever stocked. Its really sad to watch this place be so nice and thrive to go to a place I will now avoid. read more

This big apple leaves alot to be desired, i have had my order made wrong the last 5 times i have went no joke, its always a pretty decent wait so to have to wait again to have to get the correct item made is very frustrating, the big apple in Davison has never gotten my food wrong and overall quality and staff is better read more

Big Apple Bagels - Supposed to be a Southern tradition with cream cheese added, i am served a bagel with cream cheese and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Blanc, Michigan

This place is downright a great asset to the community, however the quality/quantity has recently gone downhill and I'm hoping I can rescind this post asap with their correction. I brought to their attention that, selectively, some bagel batches are not as full as others. Many weeks ago I ordered chocolate chip bagels and they came out the size of half dollars. Today I ordered their upcharged Asiago bagels and, well, compare them to the blueberry ones from the same order. Of course, I should be checking them before leaving the store, so yes this is my fault, however it's the unique flavors and quality that makes me make the drive there, and if the quality lags... I'll just order elsewhere. Fix it, Big Apple- I know you can do better! read more

Big Apple Bagels - Blueberry next to a very deflated (but more expensive) Asiago - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Blanc, Michigan

I loved the muffins and bagels there, before I got off bagels and muffins, and their coffee is amazing , their service is excellent, and ambience is wonderful read more

Wife had Turkey Club while I had the Big Apple Club. Both sandwiches were solid, right down to the lettuce. Even the accompanying pickles were excellent. Service was impeccable too; sandwiches were prepared a good deal faster than expected. Only reason this was not a 5 is the bagel itself. Pretty sure these weren't actually boiled like bagels are supposed to be. That's ok. Big Apple's competition are places like Einstein's, and Einstein's bagels definitely ain't real bagels. Wife agrees we'll be back, probably for a weekend breakfast trip. read more

I was in the Grand Blanc area for work and stopped to get breakfast before my meeting. I ordered the Southern Classic with ham. The sandwich is supposed to be meat of your choice, egg and cheese on a bagel of your choice. I also ordered the caramel decadence frozen coffee drink. My drink was ready first and tasted great. My sandwich took a little longer and I was in a rush to get to my meeting. I opened my sandwich in the car and realized there was no meat on it. I was 1/2 way to my meeting so I couldn't turn around. I called the restaurant and they issued a refund because I wouldn't make it back before they closed at 2. I was so disappointed because I was hungry and it smelled delicious. read more

Great service and prices. The staff is welcoming and courteous no matter how busy they are. I love the ambiance great cafe feel and food is top notch! My go to for personal orders and for morning business meetings!! Take out is always ready on time. Highly recommend my favorite breakfast brunch and lunch spot!! read more

Great service! The bagels were delicious! Unfortunately their espresso machine was not working at the time so I could not try the coffee. However, the overall experience was amazing read more

Was out of most things that me and my family wanted... what we could get was fine. Unhappy with the fact that they were out of most things although they had heaping bags that they were donating to the local food bank. read more

I adore Big Apple Bagels so much! There selection of Bagels is delicious. The BLT on Garlic Bagel is my go to. The drinks pair nicely as well. read more

Terrible UNCOOKED Bagels. They need to be cooked before you can even toast them! They were terrible! The girls behind the counter were not much better. They were not helpful AND just threw the bagels in a bag. They seemed like they were annoyed to have to be at work. Oh well! We will never go there again. read more

There aren't many take out breakfast eateries in the area to compare to, but I have been to this BAB's on multiple occasions and have always been pleased. One of the biggest perks for me is that they open for business early (6am). Whenever I get off a long night shift, this is one of the only places that is open, other than McDonalds. They have a variety of brewed coffee flavors, specialty drinks, and breakfast sandwiches. I've sampled most of them and have not been disappointed. They also over a turkey sausage alternative which I always opt for and enjoy. They have a variety of lunch sandwiches as well which I haven't made my way through yet, but the couple I've tried have been good. They have a rewards program for regular customers which everyone should join as they will text coupons and discounts! read more

This is a bright spot for the Grand Blanc area. Bagels are fresh and toppings are decent. Bacon and sausage aren't grilled so that is the reason for no 5 star but most bagel places aren't. I don't drink coffee so I can't comment on the quality. read more

Generally the food is really good but the service is very very slow and the workers are CONSTANTLY just standing around and gossiping the entire time. While I was in there recently the workers got talked to by a woman who saw her food sitting there waiting to be sent out for 15 minutes and instead of apologizing or anything, the workers decided to yell back at her as if anything that they did was her fault. The two girls that were talking have done similar stuff, choosing to talk to each other rather than do what they are paid to do when I have been here previously. I also saw a different worker come out and talk to a group of girls that was here for so long that I honestly didn't even realize she worked here until she told them that she could get their food out faster and let them skip the line. I think that's ridiculous, ESPECIALLY on a Saturday morning when they're busier than usual. Personally I think they should do their job instead of have social time and let people skip the line but that's just me. I really like this place and there food, it's unfortunate that the service has gotten so bad. read more

I came here to pick up some quick food for breakfast on a Friday morning around 9:30. The food was so fast, self service coffee in all kinds of flavors, and half off day old bagels!!!! I ordered two bagel sandwiches, one coffee, a $2.99 bag of day old bagels and a chocolate cheesecake muffin to go. It was a little pricey, almost $19, but so fast and delicious. If you're in a rush but don't want drive thru same old same old, go to big apple bagels! read more

Big Apple Bagels - A sandwich so big I saved half for later!!! It's amazing. Turkey club! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Blanc, Michigan

We often get breakfast here when we leave home early to drive up north (get off Holly Rd exit on I-75 and follow the sign). They are pretty packed on weekend mornings. They have a variety of bagels, sandwiches, muffins, and lots of flavored coffee. The food/coffee here are both better than what I can get at fast food, and you don't have to spend as much time as a regular restaurant. We can just get a quick bite and go on driving. I like their bagels, but somehow they don't taste as good when I bought them to take home. Maybe it's a good sign (no preservatives?) but I was a little disappointed. read more

I have trouble finding thing my 2 year old will eat a lot of. This place is a lifesaver for a starving 2 year old and mom. She eats 3/4 of a whole toasted bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Bagels are so soft and fresh here. Love them. Espresso drinks are not good, but now I know. Not enough milk and too watery. read more

Very pleased with Big Apple Bagels. Freshness, size and price all fit very nicely together. Bagel sizes are, in my view, bigger than necessary but in the world of bagels that's cause to return. The variety was excellent. Asiago is a staple and very fine. I had a SWISS melt and the taste (as a fan of Swiss cheese) was devine. Salt, egg, plain, asiago, swiss were in the bag along with plain and veggie cream cheeses for visiting staff members at a golf outing. The muffins looked excellent and the single small coffee I enjoyed driving - very tasty. Choose Big Apple Bagels of Grand Blanc and make yourself and friends happy. read more

5 stars for excellent friendly service! 3 stars for the food. The bagel and muffin I got were ok. I love onion bagels, but their onion bagel is lacking in taste. The muffin was chocolate, and tasted very good. But I believe the way they keep them moist is by using a lot of oil in the recipe. read more

The bagels and muffins are some of the best in the area. The place is very popular and is especially busy in the mornings (obviously!), and on weekends with local walking groups gathering here after their walks. A bit pricey though. You pay for quality, I suppose. That's the good news. Here's the not so good news: in my personal experience, the staff is not very friendly (maybe they are friendlier to their 'regular' customers?)....they seem a bit snooty (is it the 'Big Apple' attitude?), and rush you. They expect you to know exactly what you want the second you walk up to the counter. Please, give us 10 seconds to decide! It's a BIG turnoff. If not for this, I'd have given this establishment 5 stars. read more

Working in the area, and there isn't much to choose from when it comes to fast food. We couldn't handle another McDonalds take out, so we opted for some bagels for breakfast...and lunch this passed Sunday. The place was pretty busy...but that's to be expected when there really doesn't seem to be anything else open in the area. The service was fast and friendly, and for what we ordered the cost wasn't too outrageous. The other patrons were friendly as well. A nice couple let me store my stuff at their table so I could free up my hands to gather our softdrinks, then the gentleman walked me to the door so he could open it for my stuffed hands. Great experience. I see why they were so busy! Our treats were pretty good too! read more

Four star because of quality and friendly fast service. You can always count on getting a great filling bagel sandwich. Not to mention the muffins with all the unique flavors! If you're looking for a cheat day. Look here it'll be worth it. read more

This is where to find those fresh, chewy, soft, warm bagels that cannot be found at other larger chain places. I love the texture of the bagels here! The taste can use a little boost, but that is an easy fix: add some cream cheese and enjoy with their delicious coffee. My only complaint is the service. :( I am not a regular. This means I do not get the added smiles and shouted greetings as soon as I walk in the door. I don't mind not being remembered. However, I wish they wouldn't shrug my order aside to take care of a regular who got in line after me. I had to remind a staff member of the hot chocolate my boyfriend ordered, after about 10 customers later. At least she was apologetic for forgetting. Anyone else I know who goes there but isn't a regular notices this unequal treatment as well. Also, know that you will get stared down as you take a second to decide on a bagel you want. I'm short and cannot see through people in front of me. Therefore, I would like to take a moment to look over the selection of bagels when I get to the front. By doing this, I get a staredown. Sorry I am not a regular who eats the same damn thing day-after-day! If you wanna LOVE this place, become a regular. If you only care about getting your bagel fix, know what you are going to order before you get close to the counter, smile at the blank faces in front of you, grab your order and go enjoy it in a happy place! read more

Outstanding , service was fast, extremely recommend having the raspberry cheese cake muffin

Nice workers, fast service, nice clean building, one of the nicest BABs I've ever been too all around! read more

Big Apple Bagels - Plain bagel with plain cream cheese, toasted. Three mini muffins, two double chocolate and one chocolate cheesecake. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Blanc, Michigan

I have moved around Michigan quite a bit and therefore have had the opportunity to eat and several different big apple locations. This one is hands down the best! The food they serve is far superior to the others. The staff is friendly and efficient every single time I visit. If a mistake is made which is rare, they quickly fix it and apologize. My Mom and I used to take our 95 year old aunt here on a weekly basis several years ago, they treated her like a queen. She loved going there! The owner, Kathy is possibly the nicest person I have come across in the restaurant industry. She takes the time to find out your name and then uses it every time you come in, no matter how much time passes between visits. She takes pride in her place, which is so very rare these days. I honestly wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. I can't think of another restaurant we go to that even comes close to matching the quality of their food, the consistency of the taste, the cleanliness and above all the service. read more

Even though they close early don't expect to get friendly service if you walk in close to close. They close at 3, even though online says 4, and I walked in 10 to close because the hours online were wrong, and they weren't very welcoming. Otherwise lots of sandwich options and stuff. Smoothies and coffee too. read more

Very rude. I observed that if you're not a "regular" the staff is very unfriendly and even nasty at times.

We drive over a half hour just to come and fill up on bagels. Your bagels are the best and its worth the drive. We must keep them in our freezer at all times!!!! read more
