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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
So many great options!! Love that there were vegan options as well. They also had an assortment of juices that I loved! Will definitely be coming back when I'm in town.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Macon Bagels is a new bagel shop that just opened on August 25th. They are located on the corner of Poplar St and 3rd St next to Dunlap Park. If you want some bagels, I highly recommend coming within the first 2 hours of opening. From what I have seen firsthand and on their social media, they sell out of their bagels within about 2 hours. After that, they will just have pastries, scones, muffins, and cookies and of course coffee and tea. We went during their soft opening a little before 10am. Because this was new, a lot of people were waiting in line. It took us an hour to make it through the line and place an order and another 10 minutes until our order came out. Lauren was warm and friendly. When we in line had made it to the door, she stepped outside and warned everyone they were down to the last few bagels and apologized. Luckily, we were one of the last few people in line to have a chance to order a bagel. There was only Sesame Seed Bagel left, which was fine as long as I got a bagel. On one bagel, we added Kimchi Shmear and on another, we added Benedictine Schmear for a total of $4.50 each (pre-tax). The Kimchi might sound weird, but rest assured the Schmear is still predominantly cream cheese. It's not like there are big chunks of cabbage or spring onions. I would say the kimchi flavor is light and not overpowering with a hint of spice. The Benedictine is made with cucumber and I do taste it. Sometimes the flavor disappears because it's quite subtle, but it will pop up again on the next bite. We also ordered a tub of Garlic Herb Schmear to go for $6. I have to say this one is my favorite out of the three I've had so far. I've been eating it with my breakfast almost every day since I bought it. Partially it's because I don't know how long until it goes bad, but mainly because it tastes that good. It has a savory taste and you can actually see bits of the herbs. The shop is sandwiched between the Union Furniture Company and The Dannenberg Lofts. In fact, there is a door that connects the Lofts inside the shop. The tenants are lucky to have quick access to bagels. The interior feels spacious. The ceiling is high and the tables are spread out with lots of room to move. There are several decorations with bagel themes All around the walls. Lastly, all the parking spots are metered in this area. Next time I'm in Macon (early in the morning), I will be sure to come back. I have yet to try their special Adobo Cheddar Bagel, made with smoky chipotle and cheddar cheese. read more

My rule of thumb: bagels aren't good unless they are from NYC. However, these are really good. We needed a good bagel place in Macon. I arrived at 1pm, and sadly they were out of all bagels but cinnamon raisin. So, if you're reading this and want a bagel...go early! I love cinnamon raisin bagels and this tops it. There's gobs of cinnamon sugar embedded in the bagels. A mouthful delight. I also got it with the honey pecan schmear and loved it. Give it a try. The iced coffee was slightly bit too acidic for my taste. read more

I love Macon bagels! The owners are so nice and the location is so cute right in the heart of downtown Macon! I recommend the out of towner bagel because it is the absolute PERFECT mix of flavors, I live in downtown and love bagels so you'd think I've tried a lot of their bagels but the out of towner is so good I can't stop getting it. They make home made cream cheese in a signature flavor (I can't remember the name but it's sweet and has nuts) it is the best I've ever had. read more

Is it possible to give more than 5 stars?? This is my favorite place in Macon. The owners are fun and energetic, the food is top notch, and the coffee is the best in town. They always have fresh new food to try (if you're lucky you may find some pie or other desserts). I have never had a bad bite of food from here and I eat here a few times a week lol. Fresh bagels, great atmosphere, local coffee, what else could you ask for? Go get you some bagels read more

I was in town last week on a business trip. Being the connoisseur that I am, I did not expect these folks to produce what could easily be my favorite breakfast bagel sandwich of all time. TOP NOTCH. 5 Stars. They even had caprisuns in the fridge, which I happily grabbed after a sturdy night of whiskey. Incredible service, immaculate vibes, fantastic food. Highly recommend. read more

Best bagel I've had in years! Really, the best anything-to-do-with-a-bagel I've had in years. The bagel sandwiches are incredible. This schmears are unique and delicious. And I just love being inside of the shop. Everything about it is cool. The owners are so kind. Macon Bagels is somewhere you have to go if you're in town -- prices are low and you'll want to buy multiples of whatever you order, trust me! read more

It was early morning when I walked in and found the staff baking fresh hand made bagels on site. And another pleasant surprise, the bagel sandwiches are made to order right in front of you! My lox/cucumber/caper and pickled onion was awesome (see pic). I'll be by next time for a cookie or pastry read more
