Sam's Bagels

FOOD- 3.5/5 I believe I got the grilled chicken bagel or something like that. Probably wouldn't get that again, it was alright. Their bagels look fresh and constantly restocked which is great. SERVICE- 4/5 There was a huge line when I went. No big deal at all but it clearly made the workers a bit stressed (understandably so). I switched my order out before they started making it and the lady was a bit rude and she was talking in her language behind the counter but funny enough, I'm fluent in that language so I understood everything she said, but I didn't fuss about it at all, I just got my food and left. The man who took my order was super kind though. I told him I didn't need the difference back when changing my order to something cheaper but he pulled out cash and insisted I take it. AMBIANCE- 3.5/5 Super small place. Maybe like 4-5 tables? Nice grab and go spot for sure. Definitely will still come back but just try something else out!

Great bagels, cheap and quick!!!! Was staying downtown and it was a perfect place to walk to for a quick breakfast

Sam's Bagels is a delicious little hole in the wall that definitely get your morning going. Very good variety for most diets. You can't go wrong here in my opinion.

Was a little surprised to have old bay bagels, is really salty and spicy, and the key to lox were so good, no lines, very nice and clean, and I love their coffee too

The fresh bagels have me In a Chokehold as I love half a block away. I Love the variety and cream cheese. Order online and skip the line.

I have been in search of a solid bagel in Baltimore for a while now! I don't love the other options here, but came across this place and wanted to check it out!Their bagels are really good! Sams has a lot of variety, and I love the jalepeno cheddar bagel especially! I'm interested in trying others like the sun dried tomato, etc in the future! The bagels are pretty affordable with an egg and cheese around $4 and a bagel with cream cheese around 2-3. Their cream cheese was good-- we tried the veggie but they have chive and artichoke which I am intrigued by! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good bagel in Baltimore! Parking isn't bad, especially earlier in the morning when I went, but brunch times on the weekends will likely be busier.

He Said: A quick visit on a rainy morning as we wrapped up our visit seeing Billy Strings. We happened to walk by yesterday so we knew to loop in through the back (coming from the Inner Harbour) to drop me off while She circled. Parking definitely would have been tricky so this was the right move. The space was very cool with a few tables, especially the choice ones by the window.I got an ET and a poppy, both with cream cheese, and they were very good. There wasn't a waterfall of cream cheese due to overfilling, yet not too little, and the cream cheese had a great flavor. I liked the fact that I could actually taste the poppy seeds on the all poppy bagel - a big bonus and something that is too rare. The ET was a bit salty for me, but I could also taste almost every seed individually. Good quality toppings! The bagel dough itself had great flavorful and an excellent texture inside. The staff was efficient and friendly and the price for 3 bagels, 2 with cream cheese, was excellent. She Said: As He noted, I didn't go into the bagel shop, but I circled the block a few times while he took care of business. It only took three loops before he came out, so the staff must be efficient! It was a Ravens game day, so that made for a bit of madness in the area where parking and traffic were concerned.As for the bagel... we've had a lot of mediocre bagels in our travels, and I'm happy to say that Sam's Bagels was not one of them. I'll second what He said: good flavor, good chew, and a perfect amount of cream cheese. We're definitely fans, and we'll be back.Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me since I was circling the block!

Visiting Baltimore and popped in here just to take a quick break. Got a bagel and iced coffee which were great, but what topped that was the super kind and friendly service. Would definitely stop back again if we come back to visit again.

I stop here for a delicious crusty chewy bagel on most weekends. It's fast and reasonable priced. The workers are friendly and working hard to serve up the food. You can see all the bagels in a display case and also see where they prepare your food. It is clean and they follow food safety practices. I usually get an everything bagel with artichoke Parmesan cream cheese it's so savory and flavorful

Everything you want in a bagel shop. Quick service. Perfectly toasted. Cozy vibe. Great decaf coffee.
