Honestly, these are the best bagel breakfast sandwiches my wife and I have ever had—and we’ve been coming here since 2001. Truly authentic NY bagels in a variety of flavors. Sandwich ingredients are prepared on the spot, and it’s always consistent. A true home run.

A good place for quick breakfast. There’s bagels are fresh and their breakfast sandwiches are plenty. On a weekend there’s always going to be a line so plan ahead. Their service is quick so doesn’t matter the crowd.
The bagels are nice and fresh with a variety of cream cheese options.
The coffee cake was not that great, just a load of sugar in a cake.

This native New Yorker had to try the NY bagel shop when in Corolla. I had saw a TikTok featuring this place weeks ago and knew I wanted to try it. So after catching the sunrise we headed over to the bagel shop around 7am and there was already a line outside. That’s a good sign in my book!
The line was long but it moved swiftly. Lots of staff on deck with pleasant attitudes greeting and helping the customers. I was waited on by a man training another young man. He was friendly and efficient and obviously invested in the training of the individual. Now to the important part of the visit. The bagels! Fresh and delicious and absolutely reminiscent of what I’d find back home in Long Island, NY. The cream cheese is homemade and delicious and they really are generous with the smear…. Which if you know anything about NY bagel shops…. They go heavy on the cream and without request. We tried an egg everything bagel and Sriracha everything Bagel, bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. They did not disappoint. We also had to try a cream cheese bagel and had onion and the beer pretzel bagel. Both also yummy. I do wish I had my normal favorite of the salt bagel but the reviews hyped the beer pretzel, so I had to try. Pretty tasty. Overall the place was fast, fresh and delicious. The service was awesome and I would definitely recommend!

Bagels were good, but the service was not the best. One of the staff members was not the nicest when we were selecting a 12 pack of bagels. Inside the restaurant was not the cleanest either. Food was great though.

I highly recommend a trip to lighthouse bagels. The service is quick, although the shop does get busy quickly, go early if you can. Service is also very friendly and can make ordering fun if you have a good attitude with them. Overall the prices are very good at about $2.50 a bagel when ordered by the bakers dozen. Sandwiches and cinnamon rolls are more experience but still a fair price in my opinion. Check them out for breakfast. They have a good amount of outdoor seating too.

It was my first trip to the OBX so first time at Lighthouse, I would give them another chance but would make sure to ask for it extra toasted or toasted twice! We waited in a long line but it didn’t take long, shows how popular they are! It’s a smooth organized operation and good prices. I am a bit of a self-declared bagel snob so I would’ve preferred more seasonings on the bagels such as everything or sesame. The texture was good and they are thick but maybe a little too thick and the toasting wasn’t enough. Next time I would also buy a dozen as is to make at home how I prefer them. I was impressed with the variety of flavors. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and patient with each customer which was impressive after seeing how busy their mornings are!

The French toast bagel was amazing. Everyone in my family loved it! We went 3 days in a row to get them after trying them.

Big bagels and sandwich options. The bagels are doughy and made fresh. There’s tons of variety too. I got a rosemary and salt bagel that was delicious with lox and cream cheese. You can tell this place is Jersey made with their sandwiches and use of Taylor’s ham. Lots of outside seating options and right across from Timbuck II so shopping is an easy get to

Very tasty and fresh. Get there just before they close and you may get a few freebies. Walking distance from other stuff to do and places to shop. Great option for a quick breakfast and coffee! Don’t skip the cinnamon buns. French toast bagels and they cream cheese spread options are delicious.
