If you're in the Charleston area, these are the best bagels outside of NYC. Try their bacon/egg/cheese. They also have absurdly good strawberry cream cheese and whole wheat bagels. They're bagels taste like pretzels, but are completely worth it. More

Want breakfast or lunch? Want it portable? Want something light or loaded? This is the place. You gotta try a bagelwich or wraplewich. Choose any bagel or a wrap, add an egg, cheese, meat and fixin's...that's it. Course there's more good eats, but you can't go wrong. Eat inside or out. Fast and tasty. More

A quick way to pick up a delicious and quick breakfast like none other. Drive down Folly Rd and into the shopping center where Publix is located. A great location and the best bagel ever! More

I love to come here to eat a great fresh bagel. My favorite is the everything bagel with lots of great seasonings on it. They have a great selection, but I recommend going in the morning for the best choices. Since they make them fresh daily, on some occasions they have been out of popular choices when I've come late... More

Awesome. Great bagels! I started going here when I was in college and had to hitch a ride from a friend who had a car. Now, I go at least once a weekend. Long lines on saturday and sunday mornings but sill worth it. More

Denver Wrap is usually good...but today yuck! Overcooked egg and vegetables drenched in oil. Tasted like something you would get at a greasy spoon like Waffle House. More

We ALWAYS go to Bagel Nation when we visit our relatives on James Island. They have a great variety of Bagels, including our favorite, Sesame Seed with egg and bacon. Don't forget to try their hashbrowns as well. Tucked in a strip mall beside a Publix, it's going to be hard to stumble upon it on vacation; however, if you... More
