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

    Salt + Pepper bagel with Salted Honey

    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

    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!

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

    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!

    Big Doms is a very small but yummy bagel shop. Be prepared to wait in line and there are no tables inside. It is more of a grab and go and you can sit on benches outside or somewhere else in downtown Cary. The staff is incredibly friendly. The prices are very high for what they offer but the food was good. I would recommend trying but to visit often would be spending a lot of money for just a bagel sandwich. There are no gluten free options listed some say you can ask ahead of time but it did not seem to be advertised.

    Bagel selection (or lack there of)

    Big Dom's is definitely no NYC bagel shop. It's rather a crammed in and stressful environment with no seating or flavor choices. The bagels are pretty inconsistent, while the cream cheese is extremely basic. The most off-putting attribute of this bagel shop is that they do not put the cream cheese on the bagels. Instead, you have to buy them separately and are given a flimsy and rather pathetic, plastic knife to spread it on yourself. I should be getting a discount for doing half their labor. Will not be returning, unless forced.

    I had been wanting to try this place for quite a while. They never seemed to be open when we waited to stop by. Finally hit them up on a Sat morning right when they opened. We got an everything bagel (for me) and a sesame bagel (for hubby) and 2 donuts. The bagels were obviously fresh but we didn't care for the lack of crispiness on the outer shell. After eating the whole bagel with cream cheese I only took a bite of the donut. I actually enjoyed the donut the next morning. Would probably try them again if we are in that area. It wasn't worth going out of our way for.

    Hard to believe this used to be a Little Caesar's...and that it took me so long to try this spot out. Some friends and I were doing a brewery day by train so I needed to grab breakfast close to the station. Big Dom's seemed like the ideal solution. Apparently they are low on staff (isn't everyone?) right now so you must place your order online ahead of time. You can't go in to pick up or eat. The online ordering system was very easy and I set my pick up time for the next morning. There was just one car ahead of me upon arrival so I didn't wait long. The friendly employee greeted me, asked for my name, poured my coffee and off I went with my meal. Like many have said, the bagel has a different consistency than I'm used to with store bought bagels. It was definitely chewier on the outside. My sesame bagel with egg, cheddar, and bacon was wonderful, and very filling! The coffee was good and nice and hot. I'll be back.

    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.

    Big Doms have the best bagels in the area, and you may quote me! Sometimes they do seasonal schmears that are really good.

    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

I popped in on a Saturday around 12 noon, and although there was a bit of a wait (not surprising given the weekend crowd), the smell of warm cinnamon sugar in the air made it feel like a treat worth waiting for. I ordered a vanilla with sprinkles, a classic glazed, and 10 cinnamon sugar donut holes. For me, the cinnamon sugar flavor was the clear winner. Little bites of joy, I tell ya!!! The vanilla and glazed were fine, but in hindsight, I wish I'd been a little more adventurous. Duck Donuts has a fun variety of unique flavors like maple bacon, blueberry pancake, or peanut butter drizzle. That creativity is what really makes the place stand out. My son, who is firmly Team Dunkin' and not at all a Krispy Kreme fan didn't love Duck Donuts--he's just not a fan of soft, warm donuts. As someone who usually prefers a good Krispy Kreme, I have to say this was a very different donut experience--more homemade flavor and less sweetness. The vibe was relaxed. A few families were dining inside, a couple folks were enjoying the patio, and the pickup counter stayed busy. It's not the kind of place I'd visit weekly (I'm not a donut junkie), but I'd absolutely come back to surprise a donut-loving friend.

We didn't say we wanted one but she charged us for one anyway. We had no idea, she didn't clarify our receipt with us, she didn't communicate much at all. As we were getting in the car, extremely disappointed and upset with the service from this establishment, she ran out to give us a cinnamon roll. She said we had forgotten but we didn't even ask to order one. I thought she was coming out to apologize for her attitude. Clearly confused, instead of explaining to us that she thought we had ordered a cinnamon roll, she just extended her arm inside the car and put the box of on the dash of my car, then went back inside without a word. She could've easily remedied the situation by simply saying, "Sorry, I didn't know you didn't want a cinnamon roll." I would've let everything go right there. Instead, she just stared at us as my sister and I were clearly perplexed by what was going on. An apology could've gone a long way and I wouldn't have felt compelled to write a review. The donuts were genuinely not bad at all but the service left such a bad taste in my mouth I can't quite cleanse.

Being so used to many boba options back in CA, it kind of makes it feel weird to struggle to find a boba place nearby.

The puff pastry is a large portion, and heavier, so you can definitely share. The mochi donut is nice and light, so these are better to get more than one flavor to try.
