Benchwarmers Bagels - Raleigh

Hands down the best bagels in Raleigh and probably the best outside of the Northeast. They have all sorts of bagels and bagel sandwiches from the traditional to the exotic. Make sure to try the cardamon rolls. They also have pizza nights on Friday and Saturday but call ahead because they sell out!Food: 5/5

Man this is a busy place but worth it. You must go early as they usually run out later in the day. All bagels are fresh and delicious and different, I love them all. On this day there were about 50 people in front of me and it took 20 minutes to get to the counter to order, order was ready in about 10 minutes. Plenty of places to sit inside or outside to eat your food. Dog friendly too.

Such delicious bagel sandwiches. They had a variety of unique sandwiches and spreads. The line moved fast and we got our food fast. I enjoyed the everything bagel sandwich with scrambled eggs dukes Mayo bacon cheese. The coffee they served was also delicious.Food: 5/5

Bagels are fresh (not NY bagels, that is for sure) and they make their own cream cheese. Their specialty teas are good and the iced vanilla late was average. The service is prompt if you are in a hurry and the staff is friendly.

Tried the pizza on a Saturday night. It was ok, we could not detect any sauce which made it too dry. The cup and char pepperoni was good and plentiful. We got leftovers and I will need to get some sauce to top it. With tax and a tip, $35 for a pizza is just too much. Jet's Detroit-style pizza is better and less than half the cost.
