Big Time Bagels

Best bagels you'll find on island, hands down. Big Time Bagels takes me back to NYC while beautifully integrating local ingredients.I ordered the Old Man and the Sea on an everything bagel, expecting the fish of the day (Ono) to be cooked as typically served. To my surprise and delight, I was thrilled to have smoked Ono to go along with the capers, red onions, sea vegetables , and "schmeah", serving a localized version of the traditional lox and fixings.It can be a bit of a wait, but give them a shot.

Bagel sandwich is good but the 25min+ wait can be brutal depending on crowd and orders. Get another snack before waiting in line to curb hunger as you wait.Good assortment of bagels but they are stored in exposed wired baskets and it's kinda gross how the flies are all over their goods. Ask to pull a bagel from the bottom to minimize fly juice.

The wait was a little unexpected but not crazy enough for me to cancel my order. Although there were people saying that they've been waiting for a long time. I got a plain bagel with hazelnut and inamosa spread (I hope that's right).. it's kukuinut crushed and mixed with hazelnut. The bagel itself is nice and chewy but there was an onion flavor when biting into the bagel. I'm not sure if they use the same knife to cut the vegetables for the savory bagels but it was not pleasant. The spread was surprisingly overly salty.. I was expecting a nice chocolate flavor but it was overpoweringly salty and not really a chocolate flavor. I rated it a 2 because I think the bagel is nice and chewy.. absolutely delicious! However, I wouldn't order a bagel with the hazelnut spread again.

Best bagel sandwich I've ever had. I tried the Becky and my wife tried the old man & the sea. Highly recommend. We will be back. You can find them at the farmers market on Saturday and Sundays. The owner is a class act, offered my wife and I ice tea while we waiting. 10/10

Best bagels on the island! If you're at the Kailua farmers market on Sunday, you MUST stop by.

I recently came across Big Time Bagels at the Kailua Farmers Market and I'm glad they're a new vendor! Their bagels are the kind that New Yorkers would flock to - chewy on the inside and a little crisp on the outside. There's usually a wait, but it's because they take their time with each order and make sure it's done perfectly! The owners are extremely friendly too! I see more breakfast sandwiches in my future, thank you!

Waited entirely too long at market ugh.Tasted the Old Man and the Sea bagel was good and fish spread was very good too much cream cheese over all B plus
