Athens Bagel Company

The best bagels in town! I order pumpernickle everything and it's awesome! Their coffee was really nice as well. I would recommend to come and check it out. Will go back for more soon! The staff was nice and friendly.

My favorite is the Cannonball Run. Don’t question the veggie spread. It works!! I live it in the honey wheat bagel. Their salt bagel with the cream cheese spread is also a perfect combination. ABC is a MUST! We don’t live in Athens so I crave it when I’m home. Every visit to Athens means an opportunity for their delicious bagels.

I love the more bready bagels at ABC. and the young folks working there always seem to be very nice and hardworking. Kinda small and tight environs but never bothers me too much.

*Delayed post from April ‘25 Stopped in on a Sunday morning around 10am and found the place packed! Barely got a seat and the bagels were running out as we ordered. It’s obvious this is a hot spot for students to meet and work, and for good reason because the bagel sandwiches we ordered were delicious! We sat ourselves at one of the table tops and ordered from a phone instead of going to the counter. The space was cramped, which is probably why most people ordered to go instead of trying to eat there. It took a while to get our order delivered to our table, but it’s understandable given the high demand at the time. Would come back!

Having lived for many years in cities like New York and Detroit, I must confess to being a bit of a bagel snob. ABC is one of the very few places in town to get real bagels. The breakfast sandwiches are all fantastic. The most unique and wonderful thing here, however, is the delicious homemade pastrami, which is completely different than processed, mass produced deli pastrami.
