Schmagel's Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Schmagel makes Nice Bagels, but Don't Count on it Being Open This unassuming little bagel shop seems to be quite popular. They advertise that they're open until 1pm or when they run out of bagels, whichever is first. It was a Monday, so I didn't expect it to be especially busy. We got there at 11:20am and there were only about a half dozen bagels left on the shelf. The party after us cleaned out what we didn't get. Why not make more bagels, Schmagel? We had eggs and ham on our bagels and they were good. What? No schmear here? Maybe, I don't know. Find out for yourself. read more

This is a little gem. Great homemade bagels with a "chew" like New York bagels. You can really taste the garlic on the everything bagels. We both got the lox and next time I would choose the salt bagel for it. They were so filling, we skipped lunch that day! read more

I really wanted to like this place. It started off with less than friendly customer service. The prices are exorbitant too. The bagels were disappointing, like eating day old mediocre ones. Clearly your business preys on tourists that will never be back. I'm local and I won't be either. After the owner responded I've changed my review. I like this place even less. Obviously if you don't praise her she will make a personal attack. Please see other responses to negative reviews. Your anger issues are not becoming of a business owner. May you find peace. I'll allow you the final word. read more

Got here a little later in the morning and a lot of the bagels were gone but we still were able to get a very good bagel sandwich made. We had a bacon, egg, and cheese on a cheddar jack bagel and it was soo good. The bagel was soft and warm, the bacon wasn't over cooked or under cooked which you find sometimes. Nice little patio area seating since they aren't offering indoor seating because of COVID. read more

Important to know that this bagel stand sells out of bagels! If you want to make sure to get some bagels then go early!

My husband and I went to Shmagel's Bagels for Breakfast this morning thanks to a recommendation from a previous coworker who noticed I was in for most of the week! Anyway, great little bagel spot with a cute outdoor seating area (perfect for social distancing!). Yum ... The bagels were quite delicious! Pictured here: The Mediterranean (I replaced the cucumber with lettuce) on a cheddar bagel / olive cream cheese and the Lox on a cheddar jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese . If you have not been, definitely check it out. I will be coming back here for sure! read more

$ 6.17 for an uncut, untoasted bagel in a bag with a side of cream cheese. You actually pay more to have the cream cheese on the side. Absolutely ridiculous. I'm all for paying for good food. But honestly-the bagels are not only small-but they are no longer as good as they used to be. They are basic. Very bland bread tasting (and that's the everything bagel!!) and almost dry. Been coming here for years-but not anymore. They've taken advantage of their location and they are charging insane amounts for nothing special. read more

I have never left a review for any business but I just had to for this bagel shop.. I was alone and I walked in today to get 6 bagels (the limit is 6 per party) the lady behind the counter accused me of being with this random party in front of me and had the worst attitude when I was just trying to get bagels to feed my family... the staff is obviously terrified of management but the bagels are good just the management is terrible, borderline abusive... so to conclude if you need to feed a family of 8 this is not the place for you as you are only allowed 6 bagels enter at your own risk and be prepared to get yelled at... I will be back. read more

Every put a slice of heaven in your mouth? Well no need cause you can just try their bagels! 10/10 recommend this place is phenomenal read more

No matter where I go, I'm always on the hunt for the best breakfast sandwich. Schmagel's Bagels in St. Augustine definitely did not disappoint! Being from NY, it's hard to find bagels in FL that live up to the hype but this was definitely a contender! My only complaint was the price. I felt like these were wayyyy overpriced compared to other breakfast sandwiches I've had. read more

Response to owners feedback: (She's edited her comment to me 3 times) Catherine M., I'm not your enemy. I was honestly just really frustrated with the way we got treated when we came in. Literally all we wanted to do was buy your product. You know that most of the stuff you posted in your comment isn't true. There were no signs then, there was no "foot stamping scene," there was no one in line, etc. I'm not going to keep editing my post every time you post an updated retort. Take the feedback for what its worth or don't. I own and operate several small businesses and i do know the issues and struggles that come with running a small restaurant. I'm shocked and saddened and really embarrased at your responses to me and to others who have said the same thing in reviews. Even the positive reviews say the same thing, you don't make enough bagels for the demand you have. It seems like you have a lot more problems than those stemming from COVID. My main point here is that if you have been running a bagel shop for 30 years and you can't keep inventory past 10:30 am you need to look into different business processes. If you can't make enough inventory to sell someone a dozen bagels you have a business process problem. If your solution to upset customers and negative reviews is to bicker with them online and try to use past negative reviews to explain away their concerns, you probably need someone else to manage this process for you. Maybe ask yourself if there has ever been any feedback that you don't explain away. Initially I was shocked that you would go and find my ONLY OTHER 1 star review about an old racist restaurant owner who kicked out a group of 25 black people in the middle of the week and say you were "much like them." But I looked at your other responses to feedback and saw that you do that to all of the negative reviews so you can demonize the person rather than work on the acutal issue. Rather than prove how right you are and berate your customers with how wrong they are, maybe listen to the feedback and get better. I'm sure your bagels are great but you don't seem to know how to scale a business or deal with customers. Don't get mad, just get better! ------------------ I meant to post this a while ago and didn't but it still grinds my gears so bad whenever I see anything about st Augustine so I had to do the review. My family (12 ppl) met up at a beach house for the week and my sister and I drove (25 min) here on July 4th in the rain to get bagels for the family. It's in old town at Augustine in a small quaint shack and the bagels looked great. There was no one in line behind us and maybe 2 ppl in line ahead of us. We get to the counter and ordered a dozen bagels (for the 12 ppl at the beach house). The woman taking the order says to one of the line cooks (maybe the owners??), "these guys want to get a dozen bagels" (like were some sort of out of line assholes for wanting that many) the guy says, "no we can't do that, not on a holiday weekend." So I'm like, ok how many can we buy? He says, idk, maximum 6. So I'm like ok I'll buy 6, and my sister will buy 6. The woman: no we don't do that here. It's not fair to the rest of the people who will come in today. (No one else in line behind us). So I say, look I got 12 ppl back at the house I'm getting bagels for, buying 6 isn't going to do anything for me. I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get the rest of the food for them. She says, sorry it's not fair to the rest of the customers, it's just not something we do here. We need to be able to serve our customers. When we run out we run out. We're not a big shop. We can't disappoint our customers like that. Keep in mind there is no signage in the restaurant or online about bagel purchase limitations. So, flabbergasted, I say, so you are fine disappointing us though? who is already here, and stood in the rain to get these bagels and you won't serve us? Her: yea unfortunately. Do you want the 6 bagels? Me: fuck no I don't, If I have to go back out in the rain to buy more bagels I'll get them from someone who can fulfill my order. And we left. I asked the next bagel shop if they could sell us a dozen bagels and she looked at me like I was crazy and said yes of course. And they actually had a line of ppl. #1 a dozen bagels isn't a large order #2 if u know u sell out on holiday weekends, prepare and make extra. #3 the lunacy of not taking a 12 bagel order and only being charged 1 cc transaction fee and only having one bag, and doing it in 5 min vs running 6-12 credit cards, and the bags and the time in taking all the extra orders (if you get them all) just blows my mind. #4 if u have arbitrary or steadfast purchase limitations post them online or at your store so ppl don't waste their time. I guess you could say, we'll they could make more from more ppl if they all buy drinks etc. I guess... it's Just poor business decisions and a disappointing customer experience IMO read more

Not worth the Hefty price! Sandwiches were small but decent, coffee was very good ,$27 for 2 bacon egg and cheese sandwiches a coffee and hot tea is absolute robbery! Manhattan's finest doesn't even charge prices like that! And service was eh! (Slightly rude) , once and done for me!! read more

Best bagels in Florida hands down!! Every time we visit St. Augustine, we have to stop by Schmagel's! Get there early because they sell out. We try a different combination each time but my favorite breakfast bagel sandwich is the lox and cream cheese. It's a hefty serving of lox with cream cheese and capers. I love it with the cheddar jack or onion bagel. The classic bacon, egg and cheese is also super tasty here on a cheddar jack, cheddar jalapeño or everything bagel. If you want to switch things up, the pork roll with egg and cheddar garlic cream cheese is also yummy! The service is always super friendly and the food is fantastic. Don't miss out! read more

Wooowwwee! Loved schmagels bagels!! My party had the same jammin salmon on a bagel and the blueberry bagel with cream cheese. everyone loved their orders, the atmosphere of the patio area makes the food even more enjoyable, the staff was very helpful and friendly! I could only eat half of this monster bagel and cannot wait to eat the other half the second I'm hungry again read more

Most amazing bagels especially since I used the owner's husband's NEW deluxe "hot" honey. I don't mean heated but the spicy kind. Paired with a toasted blueberry bagel and plain smear just heaven. Even arriving at 10ish the line wasn't too bad and easily got a table. The flow of waiting, ordering, and drinking Java while your toasty bagel is being prepped allowed for tables to be open to nosh on your purchase and then be on your way. Great family owned business and happy to support. read more

If you were raised on bagels as I was, you know finding a good Jewish deli is an extremely happy celebration. Being a west coast guy born in Santa Monica which used to be the epicenter of good delis on that side of the country, I am a recent convert to the east coast addition of capers and tomatoes to go with the onions. I must say Schmagel's hit it out of the park. I not only ate a whole everything bagel with lox, cream cheese and the works - but followed it up with another half. I would have eaten another whole one, but that would have required taking food out of the wife's mouth. Even though I considered it for a moment, I dearly love my wife more than bagels with lox. I just hope I don't have to wait another decade or two to find something as good that this bagel combo. It will be my standard breakfast for every day we spend in St Augustine in the future and we plan to hopefully return again and again to both St. Augustine and Schmagel's. This was our first for both. God willing, it will not be our last. read more

Great bagels! The wait is definitely worth it. Probably the best bagels in the South.

Super cute atmosphere. Dog friendly, they even gave us a piece of bacon for our pup! Great fresh lox bagel.

The thrill of watching how many bagels were left was a straight adrenaline rush. I didn't actually get a bagel but I know it was amazing. Hope I can fight off the other customers next time to get that coveted last bagel. Back to the drawing board - I WILL GET THAT BAGEL read more

So so good. So many sesame seeds! I love it. And they don't fall off everywhere as you eat. Line is long but very worth the wait. Cute place. I just knew, looking at other reviews, we were going to love it so I called ahead and ordered a dozen bagels (they don't do same day). So glad I did. read more

One star is generous for this shit-hole of a place...prices,quality,staff, all in dire need of change, and it starts with the obviously power hungry, sorry excuse for a manager, Catherine. It looks as if she is spending too much of her time responding to Yelp reviews and not enough in fixing the sorry excuse for a "small family run bakery." Clearly, her reputation on this app is more important than her business, and it's sad to see how this lady treats her own customers after they leave an establishment getting completely ripped off. It's time to do better, Cathy. (Not to mention the fact that their main selling point, bagels, tasted and had the texture of week old dough balls). read more

I personally love bagels and this place does this justice. They really pack their bagels and justify all their pricing with it. They are respecting covid guidelines pretty strictly which is something I really appreciate as well. There is nice outdoor seating and waiting for your order to be ready. An excellent bite to grab as you're walking around the city! read more

I called in a pick up order and can confirm I talked to the woman working the register. after standing in the line to get in I am told that no one at the store I just called did not have a order under my name. If your heading into work and need a quick bite this is not the place, very dissatisfied terrible service. read more

I have to agree with many of the other reviewers. The bagel sandwiches were good, but I'm from the northeast so we have the best bagels. The coffee was burnt. The issue with this place is truly the poor customer service. I assume it's the owners and they are just not pleasant. I probably wouldn't be back because I found their behavior to be a bit unhinged. read more

New favorite bagel place in St. Augustine, they have awesome bagel options as well as breakfast sandwiches. We had Salt bagels with the cheddar-garlic on one and veggie cream cheese on the other. So good, we can't wait to go back and try some of their other options. No inside dining yet and limited capacity to order but they have a lovely outdoor seating area right out front that is partially roofed and shaded by mature trees. Come early to avoid the lines and enjoy an iced coffee with your bagel. read more

This place is amazing. The Lox Sandwich was delicious. The owner was awesome and gave great service. I love the vibe to start my morning off with. Highly recommend if you want a great breakfast! read more

If you're looking for a fresh and flavorful bagel with terrible customer service and prices look no further. While the bagels itself are delightful, fluffy and chewy all at the same time, the shop itself is unwelcoming and unreasonable. If you have more than a few people in your party everyone better walk in separately or they won't serve you the amount of food you need. They apparently are so disgusted with patrons they make you wait outside for your order. You can get 4 oz of specialty PLAIN cream cheese for $6+. Don't let this crab shack sour your opinion of the quaint and cute destination of St Augustine. read more

The petty ownership of this establishment took issue with my first review and then decided to stalk me and in retaliation posted a bogus review of my business on Yelp and google. Maybe time would be better spent improving your own business instead of harassing people who have different opinions. And let's be clear I never had an issue with covid protocols. Yelp asks everyone who checks in how the business is running with new guidelines. I just stated the facts. It was never a judgment call. I believe everyone is entitled to make their own decisions. read more

I love coming here for breakfast whenever I'm in Saint Augustine. This place is great! Fresh bagels everyday until they sell out (which could be very early). Right now there is no indoor seating, you just step inside to order and they bring it out. I usually get the breakfast sandwich. Their cream cheeses are all delicious! I highly recommend coming here! read more

This is a solid breakfast spot - nothing fancy, but cute patio area out front. Inside there are questions you can add your own answers to on sticky notes, so we had fun reading the answers others left and adding our own. I'm a NY purist when it comes to bagels. These bagels are good but not great - a little soft/doughy but definitely not bad. The lox was fresh and tasty. The grilled cheese was nicely done. read more

Probably the shittiest bagel place I've been to yet. The owner was very rude and the bagels tasted days old. I would recommend any bagel place that isn't Schmagel's. They should honestly change their name from Schmagel's to Shitmagel's instead. Edit: Don't know a Lexi but it doesn't disguise how nasty your bagels are and the fecal condition you mentioned was pretty funny, must've been your inspiration to start a bagel business.

Fresh, delicious bagels. Excellent lox bagel sandwich. Excellent customer service. Worth the trip into town.

I was thrilled with the food. Hands down a great bagel and schmear. The lox were great and a fresh tomato. My only disappointment was when I went back the next day to get a dozen bagels I was told no, because they were about to get busy and it takes 30 min to get more bagels made. I asked if I could come back in 30 for my dozen and she hemmed and hawed and that pretty much told me no... so yes, if you want one or two but no if you want a dozen. Yummy but I was left disappointed. read more
