"When I was visiting my friend in Fort Mill, he went out to grab some bagels in the morning. I was not expecting much.I was PLEASANTLY surprised in the most delicious way. I took one bite of this bagel and cream cheese and was like, "this is a good bagel Travis." I took another bite of the bagel and was like, "this is like actually a really good bagel Travis." I probably said it like 5 times. The chew on this bagel was *chefs kiss*. I also decided to got a chicken caesar wrap because everything was so incredibly affordable. The flavor of the wrap was good... but the filling to tortilla ratio was a bit off. There was a lot of tortilla folded on other tortilla because of lack of filling. That said, the sparse filling inside was VERY good. The chicken was super fresh and the Caesar dressing was pretty darn tasty. There were just a few too many bites that were completely tortilla. Would go back. Just to emphasize... this is a pretty good bagel Travis."
"Always loved coming to Poppy's. They have wonderful bagels, and I enjoy trying out their many different flavors of cream cheese. On my last visit, I tried an everything bagel with strawberry cream cheese...much better than I expected! I will be coming back to Poppys."
"Bagel Boat just does. not. miss. The bagels and bread is always fresh and tasty. I have recently been hooked on the Hoeny Bacon Sunrise, but my all time favorite menu item is the Turkey Cranberry. Do not sleep on the lattes and classic Black & White cookies."
"We recently went to Poppyseeds Bagels to find deli comfort foods to cater my mother's funeral. The staff was amazing, and they worked with us to plan and place the order. On the day of the funeral, they recognized us when we pulled up, and started to bring the order to the car before we'd even walked inside. The smoked salmon platter and pastry platter were both beautiful, the salads (egg, tuna and whitefish) were delicious, and of course, the bagels and bialys were fantastic. We don't live nearby, but we will go back as often as possible to try everything, including their breakfast specials!"
"I love the variety in which this joint has to offer. I will say the blueberry bagel has absolutely zero flavor despite the bold, bluish color of the bagel. Any egg and bagel breakfast sandwich kinda sucks. There is such little egg and the bagels are SOOO DRY. It's like putting a goldfish (egg) on top of a triscuit (bagel). Also they are not gluten friendlY- despite what they say; They toast the gluten free bread in the same toaster as any other bagel or bread."
"While the bagels and style of Mike's is typical of a bagel shop in NYC or Long Island, I was a little frustrated with the service. Typically, in NYC, when you order just a bagel with cream cheese, the person who takes your order will just go ahead and make your bagel (that's the way it was done for the 19 years l lived in NY). It just makes sense. Instead, it was put in with the orders for people who ordered several breakfast bagels. As a result, I waited almost 20 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese. Typically, I just get a dozen bagels and take them home which is what I'll do going forward. It's not a knock on Mike's or the people working there because it's a great place with good bagels. I just wish they would change the process of completing simple orders."

Believe the hype - This place is truly legitimate. This is the closest that you will get to a New York/Long Island Style Sit Down Bagel Shop in the Charlotte Region. I'm amazed how close this place is to our apartment in Charlotte. Bagel sandwiches are made to order and these guys actually will get your order correct. They have a wide array of fresh bagels. Toasting is not necessary! Staff/Crew are incredibly friendly, efficient and polite. I can promise you, you won't get strange looks from staff when you ask for "Scrambled Soft, Everything Bagel - Salt, Butter, Pepper & Ketchup" - Thank You! Great selection of Coffee and Coffee Drinks; - Excellent set up with just the right amount of space to sit down and relax. Staff are efficient and keep things moving right along. Limited "Bottle Necking" - which is a relief. Nevertheless, this place can get very busy. Impressed with the wide assortment of cookies that are sold in the front. Owners are pleasant guys from Massapequa, Long Island. They "Insisted" that I try the Macaroni Salad; - Yes, it was fantastic. We are definitely returning! Calming vibe; All too often, places like this - everyone gets overwhelmed and stressed. These guys really hit the nail on the head with their design of the location and flow/traffic management. Again - Staff are very friendly and customer focused! Bagels were great! Coffee was great! Plenty of parking - don't stress!

I liked Poppy's, there were just a couple of things that deducted stars for me. It was our first time here. We walked in and the line was kind of chaotic up around the food case. Not knowing which counter we order from, we went to stand right around the drink case and cash registers thinking that was where the line started. We stood there for several minutes until we figured out that was actually the END of the line. I know employees saw us standing there because we made eye contact a few times. I wish they would have let us know the line formed at the opposite end of the room. It was a stressful ordering experience to say the least. We both ordered bagels and water and after we paid, we went to find a seat. I noticed a soda machine in the corner and I remembered, hey we didn't get our water cups. So my husband went back to the counter and asked for water cups, and the employee pointed and rudely said "they're over there". I ordered a California egg sandwich with bacon and it was halfway through my sandwich that I realized there was actually no bacon on the sandwich. I know we paid for bacon to be added. At that point, I was ready to get out of there and I didn't even bother asking for the bacon. The cheese on my bagel was hard and had not melted at all which tells me the egg and/or the bagel wasn't very warm.The bagels were good but my order was wrong and the employees were rude. I think the ultimate fall of our visit was the lack of friendly customer service. I've said it before, I'll say it again. Customer service can make or break a dining experience. I would try Poppy's again, hoping for a better experience next time.

THIS BAGEL PLACE 10/10!!!!!! Their bagels are delicious! It's hard to find a good bagel place that's not a chain and has authentic New York bagels, but this place is so good. I don't recommend the drive thru. It is made to order and depending on your order it can take some time for them to make it and can make you waiting there for longer than expected for a drive thru, but if that doesn't bother you then do your thing.Definitely recommend this place!

Yes, the bagels are bangin' !! And they're made fresh on site. The nova lox and cream cheese was excellent. The restaurant is clean and the servers are nice. It's a super easy spot to drop in and have a quick bagel breakfast that keeps you satisfied all day!! The macaroni salad isn't bad but I wish they offered like a cucumber salad to pair with the lox and bagels. Overall, it was great!

The people here are nice but the quality of their actual bagels are awful for a bagel shop.The last bagel I had here had the consistency of something that sat out for a few days - there was no way that it was freshly made... and it if was, probably time to reconsider whoever is baking them and start fresh, pun intended. They also don't seem to understand the smaller details like salt and pepper, hot sauces etc - some of the things that make a real New York deli special.

I imagine this is as close as this part of Charlotte gets to an authentic NYC style deli. I ordered 3 different bagels for myself and family and they were on point.

"I don't know why the reviews are so bad, this was great for Sunday breakfast with the family. We all got different things and they were good. Obviously it's no New York bagel but definitely deserves more than 3 stars. I got the nova and it came with a good amount of lox. They don't have specialty coffee but they do offer different kinda of regular coffee (French vanilla, hazelnut, decaf, etc.)"
"These are by far the best bagels outside of NY & Philly. We typically get a 6-12 to eat for breakfast throughout the week as they are not on the way to work. It's located in a shopping center and is pretty small inside - some counter height seating and 2 small tables against the wall are all there is, so don't plan on eating there. The lox spread could use some work, and sometimes the toaster seems uneven, but when it comes to the correct balance of chewy, crisp, and doughy - this is the place to go for a proper bagel!"
"Great place with friendly employees! I love the ambiance there as well as their avocado toast."
"So it's been 3 years since I came back. The prices were mainly the reasons I decided it wasn't worth it. Today's visit was to have something different and this happened to be in our view. Bagels with cream cheese for me and bagel with eggs for the hubs. Today there aren't any add ons so I don't know if that part of this place has improved. I remember my last visit (3 years ago) the place charged me for lettuce and cheese on my sandwich and I felt a bit financially robbed. Basic sandwich ingredients shouldn't be an up charge. That opinion for me will never change. Today's visit was easy. The bagels were delicious and that's fantastic! So I'll let ya know if we stop by again to try a sandwich. . For now we'll stick to the main thing . Bagels ."
"Went to Bagel Boys on a Saturday Morning around 10:30 am the good news/bad news is they were not busy. We ordered two OG Bagel Sandwiches that were different meat, cheese and how the eggs were prepared. The sandwiches were $8.50 which comprised of bagel, egg, one slice of bacon and cheese. They were ok tasting... nothing I would rush back for especially since the orders were made wrong. We will keep looking"
"Lots of customers. Latino music (Selena) resonating while reviewing the menu. Great selections of bagels available to choose from. Fresh ingredients. Large portions. Fast service. Lots of New Yorkers patronize this shop. Who knew this was in Mooresville? Friendly guy that took my order had good convo too. I ordered the Lox bagel and the lettuce was fresh and crisp. The tomatoes were juicy and the capers and red onions were flavorful and plump. I enjoyed my meal while waiting to have my car serviced. Good conversation. I'll definitely come again."
