    Big Dom's Bagels is my favorite bagel spot in the Raleigh area, and the fact that they sell out every single day tells you everything you need to know. These bagels are the real deal, chewy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. One pro tip: pre-order the day before if you actually want to guarantee yourself a bagel. They move fast, and for good reason. One thing I really appreciate is how generous they are with the cream cheese. So many places barely spread it anymore and make you ask (or pay) for extra. Not here. Big Dom's loads it up properly, which makes a huge difference and honestly feels rare these days. Everything about this place feels intentional, quality ingredients, consistency, and a clear passion for what they're doing. It's the kind of spot you plan around rather than stumble into. If you're serious about bagels in Raleigh, this is the place. Just don't sleep on that preorder.

    Simply great bagels in a tiny little shop. We came in for a dozen to take home and loved them. So much better than grocery store bagels. The were well seeded and correctly made, chewy in the way you expect East coast bagels to be. When toasted they came out perfect to us. One tip, if your buying a dozen, refrigerate them if you want them to last a few days or more.

    Love this place. My husband always gets the salmon sandwich and I love the ham and Swiss

    Sold out of most bagel options at 9:40AM on a Saturday. Salt + Pepper and Everything were the only choices, so went with Egg, Bacon and Cheese Sandwich and Salt + Pepper bagel with Salted Honey cream cheese. Service was friendly, she was really apologetic about the lack of choices. The wait was totally worth it! Will be back to try the cinnamon sugar.

    Bagels still great just service has gone downhill a lot. Our orders are hardly ever right anymore. Just came home with a scallion bagel instead of chocolate donut lol They don't toast their bagels to the point it's like they get a bonus or something for every bagel not toasted. I gotta be honest a raw lox bagel is so gross lol the texture is vileeeeee it's all soft and chewy. If they start getting orders right I think they have a shot. If not I would bet there's something new there in a year

    everything with scallion

    Enjoyed my bagel! Big Dom's is a small bagel shop in Cary. There is plenty of parking, but no inside seating. They let a few people in at a time to order, and a line forms quickly at 8am. I ordered an everything toasted with scallion cc which came out to $5.25. If you go early they also sell day-old bagels in packs of 2 for $2 a bundle. Good deal! Location not super close to me, but if it were closer, I would go more often.

    I really love the bagels here. The scallion cream cheese is delicious. I've always had friendly service when I've stopped by. I make it a point to come here whenever I can!

    They have amazing bagels and actually toasted it the way I like it. It was covered in cream cheese and it was just delicious. The coffee was also good. There is no where to eat inside, but there is a bench outside. Don't bypass it because of this though because you will miss out on a great bagel. And, their health score is 100!

    I got the egg, bacon, and cheddar on a sesame bagel and the b'donut! Both were sooo good. Service was quick and friendly!

    Best in town. You just have to get there early. East Coast style bagels. And possibly with a New York price point for a full B.E.C. Sando.

    It was amazing and tasty. I had lots of smoked salmon on my bagel, and there was great counter service.

    Gluten free options?

    When I first went, they did have a gluten-free bagel on the menu. I went last week and didn't see it on the menu. So you will probably have to ask.

    Are you open right now during this bad weather? thank you

    Yes, they were open during operating hours in 2018, including when the weather was inclement

    Bottom line: Even though the Chatham St La Farm Bakery location looks big, it actually provides a…read moresmall cafe experience to use with no dedicated inside seating (only outside seating). Small selection in comparison to Preston Corners location, but still good quality. Delicious bakery items as you would expect from La Farm and very friendly helpful staff encountered here. The Deets: I had the chance to go by this location of La Farm Bakery near downtown Cary on Chatham St a couple of times during the past holiday season. I had walked over first to see about getting some gift baskets shipped to friends for the holidays but found out upon entering that they only handle shipping at the Preston Corners/Cary Parkway location. I was surprised as this location had such a large footprint with being the size of a grocery store but most of that size is used for the actual baking/storage itself it appears. The bakery service/cafe at this location is pretty small but nice and clean, with the only sitting area only outside with no actual inside seating to enjoy any purchases. There is not a dedicated inside sit-down cafe experience here. The actual selections on the shelves available seem in less volume than say their Preston Corners location (on my second visit here I wound up going to Preston Corners again for the items I wanted for a holiday party I was to attend). The same, still delicious, baked items in their display case as well as coffee/beverages are available here and still as enjoyable which earns most of their four stars here. Luckily the second visit I made here was on a warmer day so the outside seating could be utilized if you wanted to eat there. Another reason for their four stars here is the great positive attitude and friendly demeanor of the staff here. Even though they could not help me with my shipping of gift baskets on the first visit when I inquired, I was offered coffee while I waited for my ride share to take me to the Preston Corners location and that was greatly appreciated. The small cafe at the downtown Cary of La Farm Bakery is a nice stop for bakery items and goodies but for more of the full "La Farm experience" for gifts etc. then you may want to start out at the Preston Corners/Cary Parkway location. I may have had more of a 3.5 star full experience here, they get to those 4 stars with the deliciousness of the La Farm baked goods and the friendly helpful staff I encountered.

    Super disappointed as we saw the bakery is big but instead inside is really small, we couldn't see…read morethe bakers working, only small area with limited items on limited display counters. We ordered a couple of cookies to try but the taste was just average. Service was nice though! We will dismiss this place and in search for another bakery
