Great local spot. I've heard this is a fav and that the line can be out the door waiting to order. I had the Out of Towner bagel sandwich and it was good. A bit pricey but yummy. read more

Never in your life have you had an Everything Bagel that is SOOOOOO GOOD!! I usually get a sandwich...The Captain Planet (but with regular sausage and dairy cheese) or The Champ. The sandwiches are hearty and really filling. I do prefer the savory sandwiches myself. You can expect to pay about ~$10 per sandwich. The large pig in a blanket (the size of a hot dog) is a wonderful option as well. The coffee is superb too! Service is always friendly and short wait times. Fun aesthetic with a small breakfast nook corner complete with couches. Highly recommend. You'll be hooked on the Everything Bagel for sure! Closed Monday and Tuesday. Opened from 7am - 1pm on Wed/Thurs/Friday 9am - 1pm on Sat/Sun. read more

Amazing. Can't remember what it was called, but avacado, bacon, more things and tasty stuff. I was expecting good, but this was great. Quick service, brilliant bagel meal. Will be back! read more

Wow! As someone who tends to be a harsh critic when it comes to bagels, Macon Bagels knows how to do it right! Stopped at the shop as I was passing through the city and very glad that I did. Not only was the shop very cute, retro, and decorated with iconic stuffed animals/toys, but the food was actually great as well! Service was friendly and quick - order at the counter and they'll call your name. Highly recommend the warmed cream cheese danish with scallions. Will need an excuse to come back to Macon just for this item! read more

Macon Bagels was the perfect breakfast stop on our trip. The bagels were fresh, chewy in the best way, and had that classic New York-style quality that's hard to find. The menu had a great mix of traditional choices and creative options, so it was tough to pick just one. The service was quick and friendly, and you could tell this place is a local favorite--people were coming in nonstop while we were there, and for good reason. Everything we tried was delicious, and it's the kind of place you wish you lived closer to so you could go all the time. If you're passing through Macon, this is a must-stop for breakfast or a quick bite. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

This one jumped out to me as being a surprise. It's hard to find really high quality bagels anywhere, let alone central Georgia. But here, the line was consistent in an otherwise muted downtown area, and I left with little doubt as to why. Ordering a fresh bagel yielded a deliciously browned creation with a hint of sourness. The poppy seeds were thickly applied to the top and bottom, and the freshly toasted and sliced bagel made for a delicious breakfast, with a seltzer water as an on point accompaniment. They had a small selection of other baked goods, and I could have given them five stars for the cookie sandwich alone, centered around a majestic chocolate ganache and with a little strawberry note at the end. I got a half dozen bagels to go as well, knowing I wouldn't likely come back too often as it's not in my neighborhood. I'll be sad when they're gone. read more

A cute bagel shop in downtown Macon! You walk in to a counter displaying the bagels available. There's over 10 to choose from! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I went with the cheddar bagel. It was dense and delicious. I requested for it to be toasted. I'd say it was slightly toasted & recommend if you want a little crunch then make a request. The cheddar bagel was good - I'd get it again! I also ordered a cinnamon roll. YUM! Not overly sweet - it had the perfect amount of icing. It was almost a little doughy, exactly how I like a cinnamon roll. They heated it for me as well. There's tables to dine-in or grab your bagel to-go. read more

The atmosphere isn't the best but it has a rustic like style. The gross couches in the back have to go! However I do like earing here. The only problem is the inconsistency in the food. Some days the bagel sandwich has been the best I have ever ever ever had and other days it is just edible. I do not know why this is so. If you go and it isn't all that I do recommend going a 2nd time. read more

Yum! I love breakfast and I really love a good bagel. As a first-timer, the cashier was welcoming and friendly and had good suggestions . I got The Champ added cheese! The everything bagel with avocado x cheese x bacon, caramelized onion spread was simply divine. The flavors are explosive. The customer service is superb, and the location is amazing, and it has ample seating. read more

The place for a fantastic breakfast while in Macon. We visited during Macon's Cherry Blossom festival ,and stopped here for breakfast. Despite showing up super early, the place was packed already. You can tell this is a popular place with the locals. The bagels are fresh, and they offer a variety of sandwich combos. We went with a more traditional offering, and it was great. The coffee was so-so. Perhaps the blend of the day was more dunkin D type, and I prefer a more robust type. Overall, very cute place, with fresh bagels, and friendly service. read more

Cute little place with bagels that are very close to authentic for the South. Delicious cookies too.

I love this place. Just chatted with all the employees in there. Normally I ask who the owner is but they were so nice. We just kept chatting away so I wanna come back. there's a line out the door this morning. I'm sure it's like that every day. Simple menu, lots of awesome bagels sandwiches just waiting in the morning perfect you could sit in there hang out or you could take it to go and have a great day so I'm a big fan of this place already I can't wait to actually eat the thing but everything looks great and I'll be back. read more

Tried this place out while ai was in Macon. Thought I could run in and out but nope. The line moved swiftly but almost everyone seated was waiting for their order. The wait was long but I was already committed. The bagel was great! Im from NY so I wasnt sure what to expect. I will definitely keep them on my breakfast list for Macon. read more

This place serves up such tasty delights that often the line is literally out the door onto the sidewalk. The Fresh bagels & pastries are divine & the breakfast sandwiches are amazing! read more

Was apprehensive after seeing the downtown area. Fast, friendly. Steps on entry (not handicapped friendly.) Bagel dough was awesome. Proper. Everything bagel was missing poppy and caraway in my opinion. At $7 for 2 bagels, a bit steep. read more

We were in Macon on Sunday morning and were craving a bagel- Macon Bagels saved the day! It was very easy to find and had street parking available right in front (very parking on Sunday AM!). The shop itself is just the perfect size - all the table the tables were full when we got there but within a few minutes of ordering, one was available. You order at the front and they call your name when it's is ready. My wife had a egg & cheese (add bacon + garlic aioli) on everything and I had the out of towner on everything with a pig in a blanket. Both of the bagels sandwiches were amazing- we both thought that the bacon, egg and cheese was the winner between the two. The garlic aioli really made the sandwich. We also appreciated that the eggs were patties versus friend eggs (it made it easier to eat). We really enjoyed it and have already planned to return next weekend. read more

I'm a Macon native living in the mid-Atlantic. I have plenty of access to amazing bagels (NYC, Montréal, Philly, DC). However I would not have expected my hometown to have anything close to the quality that Macon Bagels is putting down. Their bagels are legit. Not a huge menu of options, but it's a quality vs. quantity thing. If you go, show up early: there will be a line when they open the door. read more

Cute in downtown, free street parking on Sunday. Easy access from I-16. Sesame seeds on both sides of my bagel, nice touch. Highly desirable but no wait today. read more

I lived in NYC home of THE BAGEL, how dare you charge me 10 dollars for a bagel, this place is nice I love it but ain't no way in hell the bagels should be this high. read more

Move over Panera, Dunkin', and Lenders in the freezer aisle, authentic bagels have arrived in Macon! Totally worth the 25 mile trip north and getting there 45 minutes before opening to be first in line! Prices may be a tad higher than bagel establishments elsewhere, but considering they are the *only* true NY style bagel shop in the area, they opened in a prime downtown location during a global pandemic, AND the bagels are definitely worth every penny, I'm willing to spend my own dough (pun completely intentional). Thank you thank you Lauren and Patrick for helping me pass on my childhood tradition of a Sunday bagel and a shmear to my own kids. read more

I stopped by yesterday and loved the bagels! The closest thing to bagels from NYC I've tasted here in the South. The everything bagel bun was to die for and my favorite thing there. We tried the Wise Guy, the Champ add egg, and Kentucky Derby. Our favorites were definitely the Derby and Wise Guy. Such fresh ingredients and amazing flavor combos. Not to mention a really fun and well-decorated space filled with plants and cookbooks and even a sitting area. Will be back!! read more

What a great addition to Macon's breakfast. My husband grew up with good bagels in Detroit and gave their salt bagel a thumbs up. We had the Egg & Cheese sandwich and the Champ. They were both tasty. Get there early ...there was a line out the door when we left. read more

After reading all the reviews we decided to give it a try. Even though a distance for us to drive. Having lived in NY and eating many bagels in my life, I can truly say, these do not compare to NY bagels. They are somewhat dense and chewy as a bagel should be, but lacks flavor. Sincerely disappointed. Bagels should have their own flavor before adding toppings. Nice little shop, friendly people, just no flavor. Not for me. read more

Husband went to get the bagels for me and they were delicious! I definitely have to go back and see it for myself!

Apparently, they're a successful business that have outrun their capabilities. 10 minutes standing in line outside, 5-7 minutes awaiting order, and then no place to sit. Bagels are more than just plain bagels, which is good. Hopefully, they will find a larger venue. Until then, I'm a no-show. read more
