Four of us were able to place orders, eat, socialize, and get out in less than an hour. Super speedy! Minus one star because it is so smoky inside. They have a grill area where they cook, which is fine, but there is no hood/ventilation and so when they grill anything, the smoke just goes out into the restaurant. The four of us who ate there smelled like bacon smoke the entire afternoon. Will continue to eat from here, just maybe not inside until the ventilation sees an improvement.

The selections were quite limited, even at 9:30 on a Monday; they had 4 kinds left, 3 of which were salt or garlic or cinnamon. This left a pumpernickel which I like just fine, when it's done well. This one was done just "ok" and slightly undercooked. The cream cheese was a bit "buttery" which I always find off-putting. Ah well. She Said: As noted above, the pickings were slim for us when we arrived. I love a pumpernickel and/or rye bagel and the combo version suited me fine. There was good rye flavor to the bagel, but the texture was a little off--a bit too much crunch on the outside and not enough chew on the inside. Did I finish the bagel? Yes! Will I be back the next time we're in Greensboro? Probably not. But I will say that this place is good enough that you should judge for yourself. We're particular about of bagel experience and there are plenty of people who disagree with our bagel expectations. Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me!

I'm happy to say that after my first time trying it last year that I continue to go and support it. The service is always great and my food comes out spectacular. I have zero complaints.

It has scallion cream cheese, egg, bacon, and hot honey. I also tried the hash brown. I was pleasantly surprised because it was seasoned. Most times hash browns are very plain but this one was not. I opted to sit in and enjoy my breakfast. They had seating with standard tables and chairs. Anytime I've come in, it's always nice and clean. Needless to say, check it out. There are so many varieties of not only bagels but they also have wraps and croissants. So you can customize to your liking.

I believe the last time we went it was almost $60 for three people, which feels a little much now and days I typically get the French dip and always ask for extra au jus seasoning since sometimes it can lack a little flavor. It's still a good sandwich, but unfortunately it just hasn't been as consistent as it used to be. Last time I felt the meat was lacking and a bit dry.. as well, they cut the size by what feels like half, as it use to be more for your buck. My boyfriend always gets two everything bagels with eggs, bacon, and cheese. That's his absolute go-to and something he always enjoys! My mom got the California Club last time, I believe, and said it was good as well. You do have to get there early as majority of their bagels run out pretty quickly. The service has always been good and casual, and the dining area is usually pretty clean. They also have a good variety of breakfast and lunch options to choose from. Bagel Bin is still a convenient local spot and somewhere we've gone plenty of times, but it's hard not to notice the higher prices and change in quality compared to how much I used to love coming here.

Delicious coffee and pastries, great service, very personable owners! Definitely my favorite coffee place in Salisbury. The owners are always the ones serving you, so you get top quality service. They aren't just random employees like at most coffee shops, so they really care about their customers and want to give you a good experience and they will! I have never had a negative experience here. Love the regular coffee, lattes, specialty drinks, bagels, and especially the cupcakes, which are locally made and fresh. I go through the drive through on a regular basis, but the inside is super comfy and great for meetings or for getting some work done. I meet up with my girlfriends here for a chat, and I meet clients for business meetings here, too. read more
