As a Jersey girl, it has been almost impossible to find a GOOD bagel here in NC, until I found Brandwein’s… Their bagels are the prime example of everything that a bagel should be: fresh, soft, flavorful (something you want to sink your teeth into and not let go of). The staff is always so so kind and professional. This is BY FAR my favorite place for a good old-fashioned NJ/NY bagel. Even though I live in Apex, I will travel the distance any morning for one of Brandwein’s bagels!

So, I’m not sure if they’ve never tasted a bagel before, but their bagels reminds me of if my wife and daughter tried to make them at home and didn’t boil or bake them right. Or if you took that kids salt dough and tried to make a lager out of it. I dunno.. it’s bad. They are raw looking and have a weird “salt not mixed fully” flavor to them. Truly the worst bagel I’ve ever tried.
I’m sorry to the owners for the bad review. I’m sure they are nice people… but we spent over $30 and are just gonna throw them away. If you like a good NY bagel this is not the place for you. I’m not sure why the rave reviews… maybe because southerners will eat anything or don’t know the difference.
Just look at the picture. It’s like they are raw on the outside not golden. And they are like double the price of NY bagel for a bakers dozen

Brandwein’s are the best bagels in the triangle, both the actual bagels and the service! I am from NYC, born and raised in Manhattan, so when I moved here I tried all the “best bagels” and these are the best.
I’ve been coming for years (can’t believe I haven’t already written a review), most recently over the weekend. I placed an order to pick up Hamantaschen cookies, and then got bagels to bring home, and bagels to eat there. They made a mistake and gave me the wrong flavor of cookies, and unfortunately did not have any more poppyseed.
The owner felt so bad and went above and beyond to make it right. The customer service mindset is amazing, and Brandwein’s clearly wants to earn your future business.
They also have a nice outdoor seating setup when the weather is good, and if the line looks intimidating – it moves very quickly.
-Edit March 2026: Brandwein’s continues to not only have the best bagels in the triangle, but also A+ customer service. We placed a catering order for some hamantaschen and when we picked it up there was a small mistake that couldn’t be fixed. They were incredibly apologetic and more than made up for what was just a small mistake. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is pretty unparalleled. Despite it being a long drive for bagels, Brandwein’s will always get our business.

Came here to get a dozen bagels for the ice storm and was super disappointed. The bagels did not seem boiled and were doughy with no chew. No flavor and borderline inedible. I’m not sure if they were in a rush to get bagels out or if this is how they are but I can’t believe how hyped this place was. For authentic NY Bagels NYBD in Cary is the only option. Even bagels at Wegmans are a lot better than this.

I was down here for my daughter’s soccer tournament. I had your amazing bagel sandwiches both mornings! We placed our order the night before for the time we wanted to pick up in the morning and it was super easy to just pop in and out and grab our order. I was so happy you weren’t charging an arm and a leg for these bagel sandwiches but that being said I would have paid more because they were amazing! But please don’t raise your prices, lol. Both mornings I sat in my car waiting for the game to start while eating my bagel sandwich and thinking you guys made my day. Thanks so much!

Brandwein’s Bagels is the perfect quaint breakfast/lunch establishment. The food was delicious, and the music was a 10/10 selection. I will 100% be returning on my next trip to Chapel Hill. Thanks for being awesome.

We were running a tournament in Chapel Hill last weekend, so we got bagels delivered last Friday and Sunday. The bagel sandwiches are ok. It’s like a flat scrambled egg when I just wanted over hard but that’s not an option on the app or white american cheese. I got just a plain bagel toasted on Sunday with butter- I wanted extra but there is nowhere to select that either. They need a “notes” section. I got 2 butter pats which couldn’t even butter the whole bagel. I was disappointed. They need a place to select how many butter pats you want. A dollar for 2 is ridiculous.
UPDATE- Thank you so much!!! I am so impressed with your customer service. We will definitely be ordering from you again.

Let me update this: Received a call from the manager/owner today. He was extremely nice and didn’t hesitate to remedy the situation. He was polite, and helpful. I’ll give the food another chance, hopefully it was just an off day. Can give the customer service a 10/10 that’s for sure.
ordered delivery via the website. Not a third-party app. The bagel was burned, tasted charred… it was an everything bagel, and it had barely any seasoning on it. Tasted like nothing. I also asked for and paid for extra cream cheese did not receive that. I made a special request for capers, told them please adjust the price accordingly. Didn’t receive them, but it was a special request so I’m not holding that against them. Paid $4.50 for a SAUCE container of chicken salad ridiculous. Bruegger’s was way better. I can’t wait to try H&H. Was really overall disappointed in the last two times I received delivery from them. Had high hopes for this place!!!!

Love this spot. I have lived in chapel hill for years and they are my favourite breakfast spot. Onion Bialy with egg & cheese is what I go for. The iced coffee is also SUPER good. Like SO good. It’s from grey squirrel and just has a deep flavour profile. Bagels are fresh. I like the salads too. Cream cheese options are lovely. Open early just closed early too 🙁 – weekends are lively / busy in a good way. The line always moves fast and the staff are well trained, kind, and positive.
As good as it gets. Beats many places in New York, too. $10 for breakfast sandwich + coffee
