We stopped by Winnipesaukee Bay Gulls for breakfast during our weekend trip and had a good experience. There was a pretty long line when we arrived, but it moved surprisingly fast, so we weren't waiting long. The staff was friendly and the service was efficient. We ordered a plain bagel with plain cream cheese, an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese, a large coffee, and a bottle of water. The bagels were good--not the best I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable. I also appreciated that they cut the bagels in half, which made them easier to eat. We ended up taking our breakfast back to the car to eat, and it was a nice way to start the day before heading home. Overall, a solid spot for a quick breakfast with good service. We'd stop by again if we were in the area. read more

Swung in here Saturday morning to grab some breakfast for the ride home, the place was packed. I ordered two Asiago bagels, one toasted, the other not. Coming from a town that has a bakery with THE best Asiago bagels, I didn't have very high hopes. Upon opening the bag, I found my "toasted" bagel looked as if it had only been put in a toaster for about 8 seconds. Very disappointing, and the flavor just wasn't there. The bagel itself was very fresh. read more

Quick and easy great local place to grab a breakfast sandwich we like it for the location and fresh bagels

The bagels were pretty good. I think could of been toasted more. My husband - a New Yorker - said it was one of the better bagels he had. But the filling for a breakfast bagel (cheese egg and meat) were somehow bland and lacked seasoning. A simple salt and pepper would of went far. Went on a Tuesday and there was 1 person in front of us and it took a while to get our order. Would return but for just the bagel. read more

Was in NH for the weekend and was looking for a breakfast spot. So glad we made the drive to Bay Gulls! It was so good that we stopped on the way home to bring some back with us! This was the best cinnamon sugar bagel ever! Staff is super friendly, it was fast and there are places to sit inside which was a bonus. Can't wait to go back! read more

Delicious bagels and great coffee selection. They were amazing working with us to find something our allergy son was able to eat. The store was clean and close to the Main Street. read more

Great bagels and shmear. Homemade and delicious. A treattto behold. Lots of flavors.

A fantastic bagel spot. Fast, fresh and efficient. Highly recommended. My wife and I split 1 Salt and 1 Asiago. Both with plain cream cheese. The salt bagel was the best pretzel type thing I have had in a long time. read more

Placed an order online, confirmed what our order said. Arrived within plenty of time for completion. Extensive wait time for a pickup order, received incorrect order but the pickup line was too long to even go back in to have them correct the order. Would not recommend. read more

This was amazing. The bagel was customized to a full meal. It reminded me of the local bagel shop when I grew up. If I am in the area again I would definitely revisit read more

It's tough to find non dairy options in the gilford area. But yesterday I was pleasantly surprised. They now have vegan cream cheese! Although it's not well advertised. Very good. read more

First time ever ditching the bacon and going with the steak egg and cheese. It was to die for. Coming from Massachusetts where bagel shops are our pride in joy this place might have the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. So glad I found this gem now that I'm a local. read more

A solid bay gull place to pick up breakfast/lunch. I wanted to get a bagel before an afternoon hike and got there near closing time and there were still plenty of bagel options. Their seasonal cream cheese flavors for summer include strawberry and blueberry. I opted to get an asiago bagel (toasted) with strawberry cream cheese. The cashier was friendly and the bagel was ready quickly. The bagel itself was good, more on the chewy side, toasted, but didn't quite have any crunch to it. You could taste the strawberry flavor in the cream cheese and it was slightly melty from the warm bagel. They conveniently cut the bagel in half for easy eating. They also offer bagel sandwiches, drinks, and chips, so I'd recommend coming here for a pitstop if you're looking for a quick stop. read more

This is, by far, the BEST bagel place in the area. The staff is so friendly, the cream cheese is to die for and the location is very convenient.

A REAL bagel in the Lakes Region....holy smokes. Loved the bagels and the cream cheese. Bagels should blister when you toast them. Winni Bay Gulls passed the test. Don't go anywhere else for your bagels. read more

Been here twice now after a day at Gunstock. Super fresh bagels and very friendly service. I've gotten their bacon, egg, and cheese bagels twice now and both were excellent. Highly recommended. read more

While this little gem doesn't wow you with curb appeal it's service and menu is anything but plain! Bagels and sandwiches and so much more. The bagels are made fresh daily on site and the other ingredients are always fresh and top notch. The angus burger is a favorite for lunch on an Asiago fresh off the grill. read more

I'm sure I would've liked the food here if I tried something, but the customer service was incredibly unhelpful. I asked the cashier what the veggie burger was made out of, and he said he didn't know. I asked again, and he said it came pre-made from another company so he didn't know what was in it. He didn't want to take 5 seconds of effort to figure out the ingredients. So instead I asked for a bagel with margarine. The cashier said they don't have margarine. I pointed to the menu which had an option for a bagel with margarine. He said most people don't order a bagel with margarine. So, I couldn't eat anything here. Terrible customer service. The coffee was okay. Vegans go somewhere else. Dunkin donuts is down the street. read more

Bagels don't get any better than this place! It can get pretty busy, so get there early! Highly recommended!!!

Excellent bagels! Honestly better then many places in NYC. I really enjoyed their pumpkin spice bagel with maple butter. Such a great combo. Their flavored cream cheese is also amazing. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in the area. read more

Love this shop their Asiago Bagels are Awesome. My son when here from Massachusetts always goes to stock up on bagels. I told my neighbor & now she goes there also!!!! read more

Best egg, cheese and bacon bagel I think I've ever had! I was considering a second one but thought better of it for the calories.

Great hole in the wall bagel shop that also has good sandwiches and bagels that are sweet or savory. Everything I ate here was great, employees personable and efficient. Have seen other reviews indicating long waits but did not experience this in our off peak times visit. But, as they cook to order I could see that. Good food soometimes takes longer. Be patient. Clean & comfortable shop also. In case you'd want to sit down there are (5) tables with 2-6 seats a piece. Oh and don't skip the coffee either. Airpots with Java Tree blends were decent. read more

The best bagels I've ever had. We travel from Plymouth, MA to Gifford, NH just to buy a dozen bagels that's how good they are. Well worth it. The bagel sandwiches are fantastic too. Service is great! read more

Food is good and nice staff. The real problem is it gets to busy for what it is. Make your timing to miss the lines.

Love the bagels here, especially sesame & salt. I've lived in Phila, NYC & NJ and these rank right up there. Great staff.

So good and a lot of options too! The bagels are always fresh and perfectly chewy. Please go there if you like bagels/bagel sandwiches; you won't regret it. read more

Best bagel place around. The sandwiches are great. Coffee is ok. Good pricing and nice updates indoor seating. I highly recommend the parm bagels and cheddar ones! read more

Ummmmmm, WOW! In an era of understaffed and generally underwhelming restaurants with poor service and mediocre food, this little bagel shop tucked away in a strip mall in Gilford is super duper top notch. Great NY style bagels, great homemade cream cheeses, great coffee, and a well staffed and super awesome employee team running the store. Simply outstanding! read more

Such a wonderful bagel store. They have GF bagels that taste exactly like a bagel. My husband brought home a bag of freshly made bagels just now. What an incredible scent. Popped my bagel and his in the toaster to just lightly toast and added the homemade garden veggie cream cheese. Best bagels I have ever had! I'm Get there early to grab them up. And if there is a wait...then WAIT! read more

The bagels were delightful - I had an onion Asiago breakfast sandwich and it was good until the last bite. I would have loved to try their other bagels but we were just driving through town. read more

When we came into town yesterday. We spotted this place. I loved the name! This was a must stop in for breakfast the next day. Cute little place very clean. People in back we're nice and friendly. The girl cashing use out, acted like she may have needed coffee. (Not a morning person) We got 4 bagels with 4 different kinds of cream cheese, all 4 had a lot of flavor. Compare to a New York bagel I would say one if the best i had. Needs to be baked a little longer to give it a nice golden color. ( it was to white) But i will be going back to get a doz the day we leave. Glad we find this place. read more

Winnepesauki Bay Gulls make really great fresh bagels and their own schmears. The bagels have the right authentic chew that a bagel should have and the schmears have lots of chunks of the flavorings you expect. We tried the lox and caper schmear as well as their seasonal horseradish and bacon schmear. Both were great. Their day old bagels were even great and made taking home a bunch of bagels quite affordable. The only thing that kept them from getting a full 5 star review from me was their coffee. A cup of their plain roast black coffee tasted like the brewing system hadn't been cleaned in a while so the coffee quality suffered a bit. read more

Nice little bagel shoppe. Chewy soft bagels and a nice selection of cream cheese. Tasty egg sandwiches. Pleasant atmosphere. This was a good find for a couple of out of towners. read more

Just made my first trip here passing through town. Great little spot, friendly staff. Ordered a parmesan bagel with buffalo cheddar cream cheese. when I ordered things that say Buffalo I expect them to have a kick. That's exactly what I got and it was wonderful.

Never been disappointed here with the food I've ordered. Always delicious and the prices are set well too. The staff is friendly.
