I LOVE THIS PLACE. First and foremost the owners are great and it's refreshing to see an up to date social media page. This is my second year going to the Bagel company during my family trip for the dreaded/"Karen" filled mini season. ( Can't toast a bagel and the world ends lol!) It did not disappoint. Their hand made cream cheese blow the competition away. Good luck finding anything remotely close until maybe Boca Raton. Their dough is great- try the garlic/onion/ or Asiago and you won't go wrong. Now for the breakfast sandwiches- get one. If you want something that will hold you on a fishing day, there is no other option- don't even try telling me that racetrack egg and cheese or McDonald's compares- do yourself a favor and grab one- you can thank me later- brisket and egg sandwich for me. I will continue to drive 7 hours from Jax to go to this place throughout the year! See you all in October! read more

Marathon Bagel - Yum!!! Home made cream cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Marathon, Florida

Excellent breakfast bagel, you know it's good when there a line out the door, only waited a few minutes for them to bring it out to us.

Friendly, fresh, fast! They make the bagels with fresh ingredients and are putting work into being dairy and GMO free. we look forward to this delicious spot our whole 2500 mile drive down to the keys! closed on Mondays so plan accordingly! read more

Perfect grab and go breakfast on the way out of the keys. My Husband is from New Jersey so bagels are pretty popular in our household. Imagine his surprise when we rolled up and they had pork roll bagels. I'm such a good wife :) I opted for my usual lox bagel while our daughter chose a weird combo of egg and cheese on cinnamon raisin...but she loved it so yay? Hah. Bagels were fresh, no shortage of menu options, maybe a few less cream cheese options than some other spots but all the essentials were available. Can't go wrong stopping in here. Covid- the line up was a little crowded but we were there at peak hours. Your order and wait outside for your goods. They had a couple outside tables set up. read more

We visited around 10 am on 4/21 (Sunday) and it was busy but the line and food went quickly! Bagel sandwiches were great, the bowl was okay. The cashier and everyone was doing a great job- the only complaint I have is that there was one woman who seemed to either own the establishment or be in a managerial role who was rude to her fellow employee. As first timers, we were asking some questions and this woman kept butting in and interrupting her cashier in a rude manner. I'm not sure if the cashier was new (which is fine), but she was trying to settle herself with all the chaos and this woman didn't really give her a chance to work through the questions with us to the point where she got so flustered my mom ended up just saying never mind. Props to everyone there for handling the rush well, however- as someone who has worked in a managerial role before, you should allow your employees to do their job and if they have questions to listen and then answer with a patient tone. As a customer, it's disappointing that this cashier, who was already struggling with losing her voice and communicating with customers also had to deal with micromanagement and attitude. read more

Very delicious! Bagels are packed with toppings and veggies. I had the Portegese burrito in a jalopeno cheddar bagel toasted. Belly buster is delicious too. Their iced coffee was delicious and creamy but was dairy free which I love. Honestly staff and owners need lots of credit because I've been to tons of bagel cafes around the state and this one is by the best I've ate. Staff was polite and quick. This place was busy but they kept it very clean and the line ran fast. Honestly you have to try it read more

Marathon Bagel - Sandwiches Near Me - Marathon, Florida

Omg the best bagels and muffins! Iced coffee was delicious as well. We went everyday we were in town!

BEST BAGELS I've ever had. We went three time while in marathon for vacation. It will be our go to from now on when we're in town.

Problem with resorts is that restaurants don't think they need to work for your business and get entitlement mentality. This is one of those. Bagels? meh. Breakfast sandwich was supposed to have chorizo and egg. Had about six, 1/4 in cubes of something that may pass for chorizo in sweden or someplace. Hardly interesting. And you get to pay resort prices at a register where they make it clear that their 'family' expect you to 'tip correctly'. Glad i escaped before the 'family' determined mine was not 'correct'. Not recommended. read more

Excellent food!! Amazing service! Best bagels in the keys!!! If you're in marathon definitely stop by!!

Went in for a visit just the other day had an Italian Sub Was a bit weary but it came out nice ! Hoagie roll was just large enough had great texture and the meats and toppings did not disappoint. Will be back . Better then Subway any day.. read more

As good as any bagel and cream cheese as anywhere! Can't wait to pick up ours every time we come to Marathon!!

We were ordered to stop at Marathon Bagel on our way home. This is the reason we drove all the way from Jacksonville, food. We had multiple stops we needed to make and Marathon Bagel was first on the list. There was quite of bit of a line so we knew we would be getting something good. We were bummed the selection of bagels were limited, but this is what you get when you arrive at a place 45 minutes before they close. Nevertheless, we ordered the pork belly and egg breakfast sandwich with pepper jack cheese. I was starving and the sandwich smelled so good. I have never had an experience like this. The contrast of soft and crunchiness of the bagel took my breath away. Then I got a bite of the pork belly (that was perfectly cooked) with the egg and cheese. If I had been driving there surely would have been a wreck. I was told I would fall in love and I did. The only reason Marathon Bagel received 4 stars --- we had a bit of a wait (15 minutes for a sandwich), otherwise it would have been a 5 star experience. Marathon Bagel, you'll see this clan again. read more

Amazing and the best service!!!!! A very cozy family owned Buisiness, small but the bagels and other food are made just right, best breakfast place in town. read more

Best local bagel place and the line is always out the door but goes by quickly.!!!!! LOVE IT

Edited in response: Theres a disconnect with the register staff then. I was specifically asked about pepperjack cheese and if I wanted pasta salad, chips or potato salad. To be honest the treatment from the staff when I asked about the iced coffee and such was more of a let down than not receiving what I thought was coming. First time here and wasn't impressed. I ordered an avocado burrito without mushrooms and my kids got bagels with cream cheese. The bagels were good but my burrito came without cheese and without the potato salad it came with. My iced coffee never made it out either and when I went in to ask about it all they shrugged their shoulders and kept going about their business. I stood there for a minute or two and finally asked if there was someone else I needed to speak to since I never got my coffee. Figured I'd call the missing cheese and side a loss at that point. Very dismissive staff ( besides the woman who took our order) and not worth the long line. I'd probably only come back for bagels with cream cheese. read more

An ok bagel place. Was excited to go because on some website I saw that there were quite a few vegan options..... but sadly no. There weren't any vegan options at all. Not even vegan cream cheese. I ended up getting a toasted bagel with mashed avocado that they made special for me ( I added a star for that). We live on Long Island and work in Manhattan so are used to big chewy NY bagels. These bagels were nothing like that. My everything bagel hardly had anything on it and was surprisingly tasteless. Not sure how that even happens. I do have to say the bagel meat sandwich options were many and looked good. read more

Found this place on Yelp. A little hard to find as it's behind a building on the main road. Fun deco on the windows but it's when you walk in that the magic happens. Every bagel you can think of and a matching cream cheese spread. You could eat here for two months and still not try everything on the menu. The staff is helpful and funny. The food is a mouthful - like put a jack in your mouth to get it to open bigger. The iced coffee is a dream and I don't want to know how much sugar it had. The food is an amazing value. I cannot recommend this place enough. They wanted to keep me as I was "too cute" looking at the menu board with my mouth agape in awe of the selection and stumbling with my words as I tried to pick the perfect breakfast. read more

Julie P says it best when she says "OMG! Come here.". She's not lying! Come here! It is really really good! I was in Marathon for a weekend away and on the way back home, we were hungry and I found Marathon Bagel on Yelp. Everything on the menu sounded amazing. The shop itself smelled like freshly baked bread. I ordered the special of the day, which was huevos rancheros on a tostada. It's basically breakfast tacos. They were so so good! I inhaled my food. My boyfriend ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a garlic bagel. Also delicious! So garliciky which is great in every way. The only regret I have is that I didn't order one of the delicious looking baked goods they had on display. I can't wait to come back the next time I headed to Key West. Do yourself a favor and GO check them out! read more

We spent a week in Marathon the last two years. Lots of fun and sun. Happy to share that our favorite breakfast spot is now Marathon Bagel! Breakfast sandwiches are a great meal. We didn't try the breakfast plates. The bagels are heavily topped with seasoning, like Everything topping. +10 varieties of Cream cheese, but I wish they would add a whipped picante salsa. Bacon and bologna both great. Even the muffins were pretty good. Coffee and iced to strong and fresh. Highly recommend it... don't worry if the line is out the door, it moves real fast. read more

Favorite breakfast spot in Marathon. Cute and very clean. Owners and workers are always very nice no matter the day or how busy. Whether you call in the order or place it there the food is always fresh and has great flavor. Seating may feel a little bit crowded if the line is super long but outdoor seating is always an option. read more

Worst customer service. The woman taking order at the register seems to hate her life and all her customers.

We have been here a hand full of times and unfortunately the service is a 2/10. Every time we leave we have a sour taste in our mouths but we wanted to give them another chance. This was the last chance. Unnecessarily comments were said when one of my family members asked for a to go box and the woman responded by aggressively placing a styrofoam container on the counter and said "we are trying to save the turtles". But this store only offers plastic straws and plastic ware which makes no sense. My family member also made a comment that he didn't want to go inside to ask for a napkin because of how uncomfortable and hostile the environment is. After reading the business owners response it's even more upsetting. I understand that things can be hectic when working in the food industry but I am not mistaken. I know the difference between utterly rude and a quick response. Additionally, at the time of our visit to the restaurant and when we asked for a to go box my family member waited patiently to not bombard those working in the front. Furthermore, the restaurant was not full of people. Also even if the restaurant was at full capacity that is no reason to be rude to paying customers. Might I add that I have been there 4 times in the span of 2 years and the only thing that has been consistent is the bad service. read more

The staff is super nice and the bagels are fresh and tasty. They offer solid items, prices are reasonable and they move fast. They don't get 5 stars because I have been there twice and twice they screwed up the order. Not a huge deal I asked for 2 eggs instead of one. However, this request is a simple one and part of their menu. Obviously the kitchen doesn't pay attention and sends food out the door without checking. At least the cashier was nice about it and rectify the order. I would certainly be back. read more

There was a simple mix up with orders that had similar names and one of the workers escalated the situation by pointing at me and complaining with their peers. The correct name was called but the bagel in the bag was wrong. One of the workers pointed at me saying I'm the one that took the order and caused the misunderstanding. Comments like "this is ridiculous how people don't know their own name" and the cashier as well as other workers literally complained about it to other customers while we were literally standing right there waiting for other orders. We were not even upset about the mix up we just brought it up to get it fixed. I'm not upset about the mixed up order, but I am upset about how the mishap was handled. It was unprofessional, and frankly my friends and I felt very uncomfortable because we were singled out in front of a crowd of other customers during our very FIRST visit. Honestly, it felt like racial profiling because the pure excitement to point fingers and blame the customer was something I've never experienced before in my life. I'm sure this breakfast place will go on just fine without further visits from me or my friends but to the readers that come across this review please don't waste your time here. The disrespect is not worth the bagel. read more

Really amazing bagels and the options for cream cheese were incredible. I highly recommend when you are visiting or if you live in the area.

Holy mother of boiled breads...one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had. Get there early cause the line piles up. read more

AMAZING. AH MA ZING!!!!!!! Recommend this place 1000000000%. Haven't had a more delicious bagel in my life.

Excellent NYC bagels! My favorite is a toasted everything bagel with lox, chive cream cheese, capers and onions. OMG to die for!!!

Been coming to this bagel place for a few years whenever we are in town. And now our son and his friends make it a must as well. Perfect bagels and cream cheese. The veggie cream cheese is so good. And the breakfast sandwiches are excellent too! read more

Love this place. Reasonable counter service. We get bagels to-go for the freezer after breakfast.

Fantastic! I'm originally from Jersey and these bagels are the best I've found in Florida. They remind me of a place I ate periodically growing up in my Jersey hometown. Family-owned and very friendly. I went 3 times for breakfast during my 5 day stay in Marathon and am sad I won't find another good bagel place comparable at home in Tampa. read more

First trip, will be back soon. Had the fried bologna and cheese on a garlic bagel. It was great. Wife had the breakfast sandwich on the Cinnamon Toast Crunch bagel. Delicious. Extremely busy. Need to get there early for full selection. Great local business, highly recommend if you are near by. read more

Marathon Bagel - Fried bologna on a garlic bagel. - Sandwiches Near Me - Marathon, Florida

Stopped here on a Sunday morning to grab a couple quick bagels and coffee. I did wait about 20-25 minutes because apparently we ordered bacon and they had to cook more. It sort of defeated a "quick" stop for us. Although I was a little upset they didn't mention it to me while I was standing around wondering why everyone before and after me was getting their food.... When we finally got the food it was very good and I was surprised that they made such a good bagel. I would return but would make sure to inquire if I decide to have the kitchen prepare anything more than cream cheese or butter on a bagel. read more

Very good bagels. Got a Bacon egg and cheese on toasted plain. Bagel was nicely toasted. Their bagel is airy and super tasty. Removed 1 star because they don't have bathroom for costumers. read more

Good bagels and lots of cream cheese options! It can get really busy so order ahead or prepare to wait.

It is not as good as a New York City bagle, but it's as good as you are going to find in the Keys. I was pleased with the quantity of the lox, any happy with the selection of bagle flavors. read more
