    Very delicious! I personally just get the Egg bagel with veggie cream cheese, and a coffee...but just got hooked on one of their breakfast sandwiches (the southern tradition). Also awesome muffins, especially the chocolate cheesecake one. Great menu spread and prices are very reasonable. I have been coming here for years, and will continue to. The service is friendly, precise, and quick. Keep up the great work!!!!!

    It's good enough that I go regularly, but I don't love it. The staff is hit or miss. One lady (who has been there a long time) is very short, sharp, and doesn't smile. Some of the other staff is nice. Other times they seems confused. They don't dress very professionally, which isn't a big deal, but sometimes I think the younger staff pushes the limits on that. The place also doesn't have a clear line of service- where to order, where to wait for your order, where your order will come up. They run out of bagels and coffee sometimes and the sandwiches are really expensive. That said, I go at least once a month. Decent coffee, good bagels. Just seems like the place needs more structure.

    My BFF introduced me to Big Apple Bagels. Whenever someone mention bagels...nothing but Big Apple comes to my mind. Not only are they fresh and delicious but there's variety - something for everyone's taste bud.. And the cream cheese AWESOME!

    Definitely enjoyed my first trip to Big Apple Bagels in Elgin, and will definitely be back. This restaurant location happens to be very near to where I live, and is conveniently on my way to work- so I decided to stop in and give it a try on a Saturday morning. The place must be great, because it was really busy before 7 am on a Saturday- I can only imagine what it would be like on a weekday when everyone is up and moving. The selection here for breakfast is great- everything from bagels to pastries. They had numerous kinds of bagels to try, and the cream cheese selection was fantastic (not to mention that it was the perfect texture and temperature. The facility was cute and very open, plenty of places for everyone to sit. The location also definitely has regulars, I knew right away because the employees were asking customers if they wanted "their usual" and referring to them by name- something I loved. Looking forward to coming back as a special treat in the future. Very delicious and great employees!

    The bagels are awesome, but the staff can be great one day and saucy the next. Oh well, everyone has bad days. They do have great bagels, though!

    This place was recommended by my preceptor and it was really good! Their muffins are very soft and almost have a cupcake feel to them. I tried some of their mini muffins to taste a couple different things. I tried their chocolate cheesecake, cinnamon crumble, and double chocolate. My favorite was definitely the chocolate cheesecake which boasted their special cheesecake batter recipe. Whatever their secret is, it's working! Their bagels and cream cheese spreads look great, and if I get the chance to try this place again, that's what I'll get next time! Overall, I will try this place again if I can.

    The food was good but the guy who made my sandwich didn't listen to what I wanted at all. Stick with the bagels and cream cheese!!

    This has been a regular spot for me, family and friends over the past 12 years (since 7th grade!). It's wonderful for a fresh bagel sandwich, you can put anything on a bagel! I have always been a huge fan of the Chocolate Chip bagel, but now really love the Cheddar Herb bagel. I don't eat cream cheese, so I can't comment on that, but they also have baked goods like cookies, muffins and brownies. Would recommend the bacon, egg and cheese on bagel of choice for a Breakfast Sandwich and for lunch, the smoked Turkey or Roast Beef is tasty. Also, if you eat in, they serve the sandwiches with bagel chips, an exciting perk! I always bring visitors to town here, love BAB's.

    We often travel over 10+ miles to enjoy Saturday breakfast here. The dinning area is always clean. The staff is always smiling and very friendly. We noticed that they have several "regulars" they know by name. We usually enjoy their iced latte's and bagel breakfast sandwiches. We recommend to show up early because the often sell out of bagels.

    One of my favorite breakfast places in the Elgin Area! They have their cream cheese flavors are so amazing! I personally love the Veggie Light and the Jalapeno. The bagels are baked fresh every morning. My favorite bagel is the Cheddar Herb. Its always a treat to get their bagel chips as well and dip them in the cream cheese. I have tried many of their soups and bagel sandwiches as well. When I want a quick bite for breakfast I always choose Big Apple.

    I am sitting in the Elgin location at 7:30 am astounded to find out that the 2 teenagers running this shop today didn't bother to bake any everything bagels. They have a line 10 people deep and they have no bagels. Unfortunately, the next closest bagel place is the same 15 minutes away as this location where they are now making the bagels. When I asked how long to get everything bagels, they told me they would have to bake them and then rather than going in the back and putting them in the oven, they continued to take other orders. I had to ask a second time and told them if they weren't going to bake them, we were going somewhere else. One of the girls finally went in the back. I'm shocked that there is no manager here. I am shocked at how understaffed this location is. Some of these people have been waiting 10 minutes already! If this were an isolated incident, I would dismiss it as inexperience. However, about 6 months ago my husband came to this location for bagels and the same thing happened! They were out of bagels at 8:30 on a Sunday morning. Could it be just us? I doubt it. I think this place is poorly managed. It is a shame. Next time I need bagels, I'll go to Bentley's in Algonquin even though I don't like their cream cheese

    This place has stepped it up since I used to go here a long time ago. Took wife here for coffee and breakfast on a Saturday. Atmosphere is awesome, clean and great decorations. Coffee was great and we had their AWESOME muffins!! Highly recommended for breakfast or lunch.

    The seasonal cream cheese selections are great. We loved the Cucumber in the summer because it is so refreshing. The fall flavor of pumpkin is truly amazing. They have a nice beverage selection too. The beat part is the bagels are cooked fresh throughout the day.

    I decided to go here based on other reviews and I'm glad I did! I only visit in the morning after the rush (around 10am) and I haven't had a problem with long wait times or inattentive staff. I actually find the ladies working there very friendly. I go probably once a week since I discovered the place!! Love the bagels and enormous amount of cream cheese- messy but so fresh! Loved the cinnamon cheesecake muffin, but not the cinnamon roll so much. Will definitely be a regular here!!

    Big Apple Bagel has moved around the corner to the front of the shopping center when Walgreen's moved in. Still great bagels, sandwiches and spreads. I really prefer their bagels to Panera's. And now they have a lot more room to dine in! The only thing that bothers me is sometimes the help is a little short. I go more times at the end of the day and maybe they're just tired, but when they come to the counter to wait on you, they don't even say "what can I get for you" or any kind of greeting, they just look at you. That bugs me, but I love their bagels.
