Bacon + Egg
Peter V.

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

Salt + Pepper bagel with Salted Honey
Courtnay B.

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.

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!

Plain Bagel w Scallion Cream Cheese

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!

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.

Ask the Community - Big Doms Bagel Shop

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

A fun twist on your standard donut! We make it here about once a year to enjoy their donuts with…read moreour running group and it never disappoints. Small little spot on the inside with more seating on the outside. You can order from their prefix menu of donuts or make your own! I'm one for being told what to choose so I got the French toast donut and it was anything but plain. Their donuts are a bit crunchier than other varieties and all around delicious. We also had their breakfast sandwiches. All very reasonably priced - under $20 for two breakfast sandwiches and three donuts.

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.
