Big Apple Bagels - Bellevue

I love the breakfast sandwiches. Always quality quick service with a nice staff. I always recommend when friends visit!

Awesome bagels. The typical unfriendly and cheap Korean customer service. Had to ask for the free pickle (twice)!

Ordered from Uber eats and man they must be lighting quick cause it got to us early. Also if you ask for a bagel joke they’re real cool about it and you can get one. Love the service !

I couldn’t speak any higher of this hidden gem. best loaded bagel ever, try their northern omelet on everything toasted bagel. just mmm delicious. friendly staff, fast service, good coffee. nice atmosphere. has a nice couch to lounge on too. very clean update: i’m not sure who the person up front is for the past year or so, a big tall young gentleman, but he’s the reason i stopped coming there… kinda rude and unfriendly, straight up order and pick up is ok as long as you also don’t have an attitude on top of it, and i’m getting a little too much. my friend who i met here sometimes thought the same

I had heard recently that Big Apple Bagels were pretty decent so when I happened upon the one in Bellevue I made a visit. My brother remarked the interior evoked a NY style deli and I could see where he was coming from. I was also struck by how warm it was inside. I don't know if they have A/C but it would make the experience more pleasant for the customers and the employees. I went in just looking for a non-toasted bagel trying to see if the bagels are good. After looking at their options, I chose their everything bagel. I asked for it to go and nothing on it. I paid what I thought was a high price at the time for a bagel with nothing on it but took a seat and waited. I then waited longer and longer. The entire time I thought to myself, why is this taking so long? I only ordered one bagel. How hard is it to put the bagel in a bag? After what felt like an eternity, but was in reality probably 10-15 minutes the cashier had my toasted everything bagel with cream cheese. While the bagel was correct I didn't ask for it to be toasted or with cream cheese. I was frustrated but took the order anyways because I like toasted bagels and cream cheese. The price and timing all made sense after seeing what I got. After the long wait, I was surprised to find that the bagel was pretty good. The seasoning on the bagel was flavorful and the cream cheese was applied generously. In the end, it basically worked out and I apologize to the cashier if I made him feel bad. I just hope, if I return, I get exactly what I asked for.
