    Walking in Nico's all that I could say is, "Wow!". The decor and vibe is beautiful and energetic, then you see the variety of bagels takes the experience to a higher level. The customer service was so friendly and helpful. Be prepared to wait a little for your food but it's definitely worth the wait!

    Nicos!!!! I have fallen in love with the Crabby Bagel. It is SO GOOD! The crab filling is melt in your mouth goodness and the bagel is perfection. I've also had the iced pumpkin latte which is good too! They keep a steady flow of customers but the wait isn't too bad. Usually about 10ish minutes if they are really crowded. The workers are very welcoming and kind.

    Nico's Bagels & Brunch is the place to be for quick and delicious meals. I went on a workday it was busy but the service was great. The staff is knowledgeable about the food items and patient with new customers. It's well light spacious, you can order your food via kiosk, or person to person. I love the food ordering options as well. I ordered the bagel sandwiches, refreshers, and sub roll for group. The food was hot, seasoned, and the bread was not soggy at all.

    Reliable and fast service! I love the options of so may bagels and cream cheeses and I can't wait to return. It's a cute shop with some seating, but opted for to go. I got the loaded lox bagel and loved it. So much smoked salmon packed on the bagel with fresh tomato, onion, and lettuce. I chose the pumpernickel bagel with the scallion cream cheese. Both tasted phenomenal and I liked that you could have the bagel cut "skinny". My partner got the open faced lox bagel, which is the same but topped with avocado. Ordered the watermelon mint juice. Not too sweet and really refreshing.

    Nico's has been on my foodie radar for one reason.....their famous crab bagel. It's the talk of the town, but snagging one is no easy feat! I've tried twice and struck out both times. The first attempt was my fault; I showed up on the wrong day (rookie mistake). The second time, it sold out before I could get my hands on it. Thankfully, my backup choice didn't disappoint. I grabbed their limited-edition Spooky Bagel for Halloween and turned it into a sausage, egg, and cheese masterpiece.....absolutely delicious! To top it off, I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch iced coffee, which was just as amazing. The hunt for the crab bagel continues, and trust me, I'm not giving up. Word to the wise: it's only available Fridays and Saturdays, so call ahead or order online early. Otherwise, you might end up like me -- crab bagel-less but still smiling because everything else is that good.

    My first experience here was at their 1 year anniversary on Friday. I really enjoyed their Crab Bagel and Strawberry Smoothie. The bagel was cheesy, loaded with crab, and every bite hit. The customer service and atmosphere was excellent as they had a big crowd to celebrate their 1 year anniversary.

    I've driven by Nico's Bagel & Brunch so many times and finally decided to stop in. Boy, am I glad I did! At first, I wasn't sure where to order when I walked in and stood behind a couple, but I noticed two kiosks off to the side which made it super easy. The staff was really friendly and helpful. I originally ordered the Buttery Pecan Mocha, but they were out and suggested the Iced Ultimate PSL instead, and wow, it was delicious. I also tried the pumpkin spice bagel with pumpkin cream cheese schmear, and it was amazing. This isn't your typical Bagel spot, they have a lot of options! Can't wait to come back and try the Crabby Bagel next time, and maybe the gelato too. Highly recommend!

    Friendly service and tasty bagels! I tried the BLT and Crabby bagel and catch this-- they don't skimp on the bacon or the crab. The bagel was delicious (honestly can't put it in to words) just try for yourself! Let's just say the crab bagel represents Maryland well lol I'll be back for another bite!

    I noticed Nico's Bagels & Brunch when I patronized another business in the area and I said, I have to look this spot up! Glad I did because they have some terrific options for breakfast and more. Bagels, Bagel sandwiches for breakfast and for lunch, omelets, cute and fun drinks, milkshakes, gelato and so much more! Located on the same row as Mucho Gusto, Nico's offers dinners the option of dinning in, take out and online ordering. I placed an order online and picked up my food. The online ordering process was very easy and to the point. I ordered the sausage, egg and cheese on a wheat everything bagel with home fries. My food was ready when I arrived and it was piping hot. I went home to partake and I must say, the bagel sandwich was gigantic and delicious! The home fries were also tasty! All and all, I was highly impressed! Great selection of bagels, friendly staff and great location. I'm just glad I happened to see this location on a whim, otherwise, I would be missing out on some awesome food!

    Nico's Bagel is a very popular bagel shop in the Gambrills area. The story behind it and how it got started is touching. The bagels are always fresh and they're similar to NY style bagels. Foot traffic could get pretty busy here in the mornings and definitely on the weekends, so I would recommend visiting when they first open or order in advance. I tried four different types of bagels from Nico's. The following consisted of the jalapeño, blueberry, everything and cinnamon raisin with vegan cream cheese spread. The vegan cream cheese tastes kinda similar to dairy cream cheese, but with a lighter taste and texture. All the bagels were plushy, good and fresh, however my absolute favorite bagel is the jalapeño, yum! I would recommend paying Nico's Bagel a visit.

    1st time here. Bagel and croissant were fresh and good. I also got the watermelon juice-- delicious!! Service was prompt and the employee was very helpful. Average noise level. Great decor. Clean, comfortable.

    Open Face Loaded Lox Bagel with smoke salmon, cream cheese, cucumbers, capers, red onions, avocado and  sprouts.

    This place gets really busy on the weekends, but it's well worth the crowd and small wait. The coffee and lattes are delicious. My daughter LOVES the mango smoothie. I had the Open Face Loaded Lox Bagel; it was delicious and plentiful. I didn't eat for the rest of the day.

    We made a DePoalo's Bagel & Brunch pit stop while en route to Matapeak Beach. It was a perfect stop…read morefor a quick bite before spending a few hours at the beach. Overall, I thought the service was pretty friendly and the restaurant/diner was clean with plenty of seating. DePaoloa seems like a popular place for the locals because the team seemed to know everyone's name and their orders. For my breakfast/brunch, I (as recommended) went with a bacon, egg, cheese on a sun-dried tomato bagel. While the bacon, egg and cheese portion was pretty tasty with a generous portion of bacon and egg, I did not really taste the sun-dried tomato flavor in the bagel. The bagel itself was fine, but I was expecting a bit more of a tomato "kick". I thought the prices were fine because my sandwich, two iced coffees, and tip was about $20. Since we are planning to visit Matapeak Beach a few more times this summer, we hope to stop by again and try more of their bagels.

The shop is located in a strip of several businesses, and has convenient parking right in front. A few of us came to order to-go items for our larger group of about 11 individuals. The menu has a wide selection of items, and a ton of different bagel options. Being that we never had been here before, it took awhile to look over the menu and figure out what we all wanted. The staff was friendly, answered all of our questions, and gave some great product suggestions. Our food came out quick, especially for the volume of the order. The prices of the bagels were fair, and the other items on the menu were average. I am not from this area, so it is hard to say if they were high, but I did not think they were anything egregious. I personally had a Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a French Toast Bagel. It was very good! Also got to enjoy a Large Cold Brew that was a great size. At the recommendation of the employee who took my order, I got a Rosemary Olive Oil Bagel to try. I never had a bagel quite like it, and I enjoyed it! Lastly, got a small container of the Jalapeño Cheddar Cream Cheese for the group to share. It was fresh and the inclusions really added to the spread. I would recommend this spot for a quick breakfast, or even a coffee date. There is a lot of seating, options, and the atmosphere was welcoming.

Located in Columbia, parking is fair considering this is a pretty populated area. I ordered online, and scheduled my food for a specific time, so I am not sure of the wait times; although when I arrived it was packed. I got an everything bagel, with plain cream cheese, lox and the fixings (sans capers, I hate those little buggers). Overall, I enjoyed my bagel, it wasn't maxed out with cream cheese, I felt there could have been a bit more lox and lettuce, as I did not get them with the majority of my bites. I may give THB another try.

    Bagels And... has been around Annapolis since the early '80s and is family -owned and -operated…read more We were waiting for a pickup order nearby, and noticed that this was located in a strip plaza across the street; we were curious, so we stopped on by. They have various bagels, cream cheese, sandwiches, and even lunch/house specialties. We ordered: +an Everything bagel, toasted, with a Low Fat Scallion cream cheese +a Jalapeno bagel, toasted, with Jalapeno cream cheese Honestly, these were probably the worst bagels we've tried - the bagels themselves were just poorly made; not sure if they were just not fresh, if they were stale, if someone put too much of an ingredient or two in, or it was a combination of all the of the above, but it was just difficult to ingest. The cream cheese was super thick, and there seemed to have been some type of difficulty in spreading it on the bagel themselves. Also, the bagels were cut haphazardly. We each took a bite and tossed the rest. Service was kind of pushy, so you better know what you plan on ordering before getting in line; it's kind of hard, since the place is small, so once you go through the double doors, the staff is already waiting for you to put an order in. There was some sign and note on this place being recognized as having the best bagels back in '11; perhaps back then, but definitely no longer... Seating inside is fully closed, so it's just to-go only. I did like the painted murals inside. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +awful bagels and cream cheese T___T +pushy service +no seating inside +plenty of parking in the shared strip lot

SURPRISE! The bagel was actually perfect ... nice amount of chew with the perfect "bite" in the outer crust and while I would've preferred more cream cheese it was really delicious cream cheese so it made up for the amount in the bagel.
