Solid bagel spot. If you're looking for NYC-style bagels, these won't hit the same, but they are good, freshly made bagels. Bloomington Bagel vs Gables is kind of a hot local debate, but I don't really have a preference and I like both of them for different reasons. I think the quality of the bagels here is a little better (this is the only place where they are made fresh) and there's more customization options for sandwiches, but the Gables bagels are a little bigger and the sandwich style is closer to NY/NJ delis. Lots of options to build you own sandwich here with many bagel and schmear flavours and different veggies. Because the style of bagel is thick/fluffy and not very wide around, sometimes the fillings do not want to stay in the sandwich. They have some delicious options though. I especially love the sushi-inspired Godzilla sandwich made with smoked salmon, miso schmear, and nori. The veggies are always fresh and generously piled on. As for non-bagel offerings, they have some other baked goods, like muffins and cookies. The blueberry muffin I tried was great. The cookies are usually good but kind of inconsistent. They're usually very soft but occasionally you will get a suboptimal crumbly one. The cookies are very sugary and huge. I have been known to eat an entire cookie at once but to be honest I usually regret it, so I recommend splitting one in half to share or save for later. They have coffee and espresso drinks, tea, and smoothies. Unfortunately no decaf coffee or espresso. I keep getting tea to go with my cookie or bagel but the selection is all very cheap brands. I like the chai though. Service is very good. They're on it so you don't have to wait too long even when it gets busy. Sometimes the place is packed and sometimes unexpectedly empty, and I can't figure out if there's any pattern to it. read more

Typical college town bagel spot. Great, fresh bagels and lots of cream cheese options. Wish there were a few more sandwich topping options. Service was quick and friendly and the outdoor (shaded) seating was a big plus. Great option for a quick bite. read more

I went to a breakfast where we did a cater box of bagels and schmear. The jalapeño cheddar bagel and schmear was delicious! The bagels did had a nice chew, the jalapeño had flavor but wasn't too spicy. Everything was delicious! read more

The perfect little bagel shop!!! I was shocked when this place wasn't packed. I would've thought everyone on campus would have been in line here on a Sunday morning. They had sooo many bagel options and even more cream cheese options! The bagels were super soft and the veggies I got on top were very fresh. I wish I lived in Bloomington so I could eat breakfast here every weekend!!! read more

Great little morning bagel before a fun day of festivities. The bagels weren't the best i'd ever had, but they did the trick. I would say they could operationally run things slightly better inside, but I think that's part of the vibe and it was a football saturday so it was busier than normal. read more

Their food is great! Their coffees (ALL of them) are spectacular! Their customer service is great too. The environment and surroundings are calm and welcoming. read more

I got their Lotsa Lox, which comes with smoked salmon, tomato, purple onion, capers, and a pickle on the side. You can choose your bagel and schmear from a variety of options. I got their asiago bagel with plain cream cheese. Truly delicious and filling meal. Service was quick, and there are a couple of tables inside to sit down and eat. read more

Don't order coffee to go online. Your food order will be ready in the To-go bin, but you'll have to stand in line to tell them what your drink order was, they will act like they have no clue you ordered one so you have to show them your order, and then they will start making it & it will come out wrong (example if you ordered oat milk it will be regular milk) and somehow will still be cold when it was supposed to be hot. read more

Bagel did the trick. It was too thick for me but I get that is a personal preference. Also a little pricey but in a cool location by the college campus. read more

Stopped into Bloomington Bagel Co. on my way to work when I first moved here and it was such a good call! I grabbed the lox bagel pictured and it was so good. Fresh tasty and loaded with all the good stuff. The bagel itself had the perfect chew and the toppings were super fresh. I also got an iced coffee and it was absolutely on point. Perfect way to start the day. The vibe inside was cute and welcoming and everyone was so nice. read more

My cream cheese was bad (I mean bubbly and weird) and my bagel wasn't even toasted yet was somehow burned. Didn't eat it, was afraid of food poisoning, and got something elsewhere. read more

Do yourself a favor and wait in line at Gable's Bagels. These bagels are hardly edible and the employees are slow and bored. At Gable's the food is always amazing and it's a party. There's a reason there's a line there and very few people here. There's still a line but only because the service sucks. read more

Really good bagels! If you get a cream cheese shmear you will end up with A LOT of cream cheese, so make sure you pick a flavor you like. There are tons of different flavor bagels and shmears. They also have breakfast sandwiches and smoothies. The seating is great when it's nice out and they open the garage doors! I got an Asiago bagel with garlic and herb shmear (cream cheese was VERY strong garlic). We also got a breakfast Wake and Bake sandwich, but it was a limited time menu item. read more

Go to BBC! The line is nuts! All. Morning. Long. If that doesn't speak for itself, I don't know what else would. Last weekend, we had a big group eating breakfast at Bloomington Bagel. The bagels are definitely NY style. I can vouch for the Horseradish Green Onion schematic, it's so yummy! The bagels all got rave reviews and the egg sandwiches are also very good. Multiple locations, the Dunn location is iconic, just go! It's a great stop in B-Town! read more

4 stars for an excellent bagel.... did not care for the 30 min wait! but we walked to get coffee came back and food was almost ready. The problem is if your in a hurry dont stop here but do come back when you have time! super legit bagel and i even tried a new combo since the guy changed all our orders to his suggestions but hey you never know until you try it !! read more

I was very (VERY) hungry the other day and ordered two bagels here. I got a breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel and a lox on a plain bagel. Between the two, the breakfast sandwich definitely takes the cake. With the breakfast sandwich, they were very generous with the filling (lots of ham, a sausage patty, egg, cheese some kind of salami I think?). As for the lox I appreciated the generous amount of salmon but could have done without the big slice of tomato. The tomato kind of just made the bagel soggy and didn't really add much to the flavor, if you get the lox I recommend asking for no tomato (coming from somebody who likes tomatoes)! I'm giving 3 stars because the bagels themselves. They were a bit too dense and dry. I like my bagels just a tad bit softer and airy. They were also a bit small for the price. read more

Such good bagels! We stopped in Bloomington on our way to a soccer game in Southern Indiana for a quick breakfast and picked up some amazing bagel sandwiches to go! A few of us had the sausage, egg and cheese (cheddar cheese plus spinach and tomato) and they were excellent. The sausage had a nice kick! My son got the Lotsa Lox and loved the combo. Great stop for a quick and filling breakfast. read more

I requested my bagel to be toasted dark. When I received it and I could see it was barely toasted I asked for another. I was then told that the toaster doesn't really do that and then I'd have to wait a while for another one I assume because there was a long line. I had already waited in line 30 minutes. I ended up throwing it away. My daughters both enjoyed theirs. read more

One of the better places to get a gluten free bagel in Bloomington. Staff is always busy but fairly friendly. Its usually worth it to order online before you arrive to skip the line in the small dining room. The place is usually crowded but for very good reason! read more

Bagels were provided this morning to Scout Leaders at a Ransburg summer camp meeting. They were fantastic! I personally enjoyed a sesame bagel with jalapeno cream cheese, and it was delicious. Many sweet and savory choices available for the bagels and the cream cheese. It made making a choice difficult, but I don't think you would have gone wrong with any of the options. read more

If I could get this review a 10 out of 10, I would. Went to another bagel place in town first bagel TRASH. THEN I went to Bloomington bagel Company and the bagel was amazing. I meant I'm assuming the owner. She gave me extra bagels and said have a great day. 10 out 10. SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY HERE. The AMAZING customer service will have me coming back. GO HERE ! read more

Best bagels in town, hands down! I am lucky enough to get to work with BBC at my current job, which is like ten steps away from their downtown location, and in addition to the yummiest food, everyone who works there are the nicest! There may be other bagel spots in town, but BBC is the only one that's consistent with quality and has the most toppings to add in. As a vegetarian, the fact they have so many vegetables to add in is a game changer, they also update their menu so much more than any other bagel spot, they do new schmear inventions all the time, and even just added jn impossible sausage! Thanks neighbors! read more

The service was great efficient and the lovely lady at the front desk was super helpful she even spelled my name right!!! The ambiance was very cozy it was super cold so it was nice to come into the warm building with really cool tables and a pairing of downtown Bloomington. The food was also superb I got the blueberry banana smoothies and an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. My only complaint is that those 2 things were 11.75. But I love supporting this local business!!!! read more

Excellent chewy fresh bagels. We had the egg & cheese sandwiches on onion & everything bagels. Yum yummy. Good drip coffee too.

About the same as the other locations, except they tore down a historic building and replaced it with a throwaway "luxury apartments" building that no one local could afford. Gross. read more

Bagels are small and pretty hard. Refused to give me a cup of water and insisted I need to pay 2.70 for a water bottle instead. Not how you do business. Don't come here read more

This is a great quick stop for breakfast in downtown Bloomington. The staff is super friendly and the wait isn't usually too long. I ordered the Asiago bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese. The homemade cream cheese is incredible!! I loved the bagel too, but it wasn't as big as I expected for the price. Also, the breakfast sandwiches with protein looked incredible, but seemed a bit expensive compared to other bagel locations. Still worth the trip and for a treat every once in a while! read more

Fantastic service, and fantastic bagels! Lots of options and about as close as I've seen in the Midwest to what you'd get in NYC or New Jersey. Can't get much better than the location either, just off campus. We will be going back every time we visit. read more

Let me start by saying the food was good it just didn't necessarily jump out at me that is why I am only reviewing it three stars. The food was good but it was just very average. The people working here were very friendly and nice . Along with this the shop was a nice quiet area to sit down and enjoy your bagel. read more

Delicious! We tried several different flavors. The rainbow colored ones are actually just a plain flavor.

Pretty cool spot for breakfast or lunch. It can be pretty popular on the weekends since it's located on campus. It has cool garage doors and the options are endless. You can customize the bagel, spread, toppings etc. read more

I love this place especially this newer spot in downtown Bloomington. The tables, the way the walls are painted, the two huge garage style doors that open for a beautiful September morning. As for the food it doesn't get much better than a bagel sandwich in the morning and the best coffee in town. I do get the same order every time though. - Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with sausage, egg and peanut butter - Medium Coffee read more

This place slaps. Best garlic and herb schmear in the nation. Couple that with an Asiago bagel .. oh baby, you're really livin! My lady friend loves the lox bagel, whenever she's mad it me - it is the perfect peace offering. Also - the hazelnut coffee goes great with the bagels. Only critique - wish they sliced their bagel sandwiches so they were easier to eat. read more

I didn't take photos. This place is nothing special but it's convenient if you're in the area and decent enough. My husband had the Turkey Reuben which I didn't like. I found it too sweet. I had a whole-grain bagel and the garlic and herb schmear and did find it quite tasty. read more

A Bloomington Classic! Locally owned. They have all the shmears and toppings you could want on a bagel. The line can be out the door on the weekends, but the staff is super efficient and there is never a super long wait time. Located right of Kirkwood, so it's easy to walk to from IU campus as well read more

I don't know if it's this location but the bagels were not good. They were on the hard side and I had the cinnamon raisin which didn't have that much flavor. I was unimpressed with the bagels. The service was good and quick. read more
