We were traveling and saw how good the reviews were for this business so drove 40 mins round trip out of our way to only end up with a bagel toasted with very very skimpy vegetable cream cheese and a pumpernickel bagel untoasted that was toasted with a very very skimpy amount of butter. Don’t recommend this place to anyone that wants to be able to taste the cream cheese or butter on the bagel they order.

Fresh food, fun staff, right in the heart of downtown! The smell you get from all the fresh bagels and bread is the only comment this place needs! If you havent been then you need to!

This place has great potential. Their baked goods, bagels and sandwiches are great. However for some reason they can’t get toasting the bagels right. This has been a issue for 15 years in all past locations. Not sure if they trying save money by speeding up the toaster belt. But they are Never ever toasted even a little bit and always gummy. Simple fix. Really puzzling why this is a issue and always has been. They fix this and it’s a 5 star joint.

My wife and I visited 6 weeks ago and met an amazing family in line. They paid for our food and the staff was just outstanding. They were extremely quick and friendly. We have officially moved to Panama city today and cant wait to visit this week for breakfast. This place is a MUST TRY!!!

Wonderful little place so polite and definitely the best bagels in PC cheap, good, and good service 👍

This place is pretty on point. The food is great, good prices, and there is a nice selection. Wonderful atmosphere inside and out. The employees and the owner are extremely friendly. I definitely recommend stopping by.Also, the cinnamon muffin is the truth. You need it in your life.

I’ve been going here for years and they never disappoint. The staff is always friendly and the food is always fresh.

Wonderful local shop! If youve never been there, you are seriously missing out!Their bagels, breads and pastries are all freshly made and absolutely delicious, and the service is always great. I would stand in line for their Everything Bagel any day of the week. (In fact, just writing this makes me want to drive over for one right now!)Oh, yeah... you definitely owe it to yourself to check out The Bagel Maker!

Bagels were okay. I asked for it extra toasted and they came squishy and just kinda warm. If you like toasted bagels ask that they be toasted 2-3 times. Staff are very nice though.

The lady that helped me this morning was so welcoming and funny. Great experience and even better food! Tried 4 different bagels and 4 different cream cheeses and they where all amazing! They also had king cake, coffee, dog treats and more. Highly recommend.

Adorable little bagel shop. The selection of flavors for bagels and spreads is endless. The staff are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable on what to offer if you ask for recommendations.

Best breakfast on planet. I found myself in cove on big air conditioning job and told the guys I’d go buy breakfast. Can’t stand the fast food and all of the only in and out chains down Harrison and 15th street. Lil did I know what experience I was going to get next. Two gentlemen on front patio greeted me on way in as they enjoyed their coffee. Next was the plethora of great food and designs of food that somebody actually takes pride in.... kinda like when u go home for a special meal or family get together where everyone brings their best. Most amazing friendly people on the planet makes you feel right at home being a local it’s hard to find these days. BEST BREAKFAST WEVE EVER HAD AND WE WILL BE REGULARS FROM NOW ON!!And by the way did I mention that one of the two gentlemen out front was the owner named Jim having coffee. Jim thank you so much for the experience of first class service and food and for saving my butt with the flat tire I had coming on that I wasn’t aware of. LolPs I made it to the job and got air ASAP!

Came in with a friend who is a regular there. She was greeted very warmly and chatted up. Took her order, made her stuff and then turns to me and says, what do you want? No warmth, no friendliness. Then proceeded to toast me up a rock hard, day old bagel. I worked in a bagel shop in high school and had to get up to go to work before school to make the bagels fresh everyday. That was not a fresh bagel. Also, I was the one paying for everything. Only gave it 2 stars because my friend likes it.

Delicious bagels and fresh toppings made for an awesome set of sandwiches for us today. Owners working hard to make customers happy. Even really annoying tourists who let their kids run wild. Us locals appreciate you more than you know!

Excellent service an our order of bagels and cinnamon rolls were still warm! Added a berrys and berry smoothie to drink and thought this was a wonderful way to start our day. Everythings made in house daily. Highly recommend!

Its my favorite place to get bagels! Theyre so friendly and the bagels taste great! I have loved all the desserts Ive tried and they even sell little bags of homemade doggy treats!

First time I went it was great, so I went again for a Smoothie. I got the peach and my boyfriend got the berry. I watched the guy make them and as I was watching I thought wow, thats a lot of water. 3 cups of water to a cup of fruit. It was very watery. More like a juice than a smoothie. Very disappointed. Not sure I will go back.

My 1st time here today. People are so friendly. Very cute and extremely clean environment. And did I say fresh. Food is very good..... Try it out. Idt youll be disappointed, I wasnt. God bless.... Love others.

Friendly staff, great selection, prices are very fair, ham and cheese bagel was good, as well as the raisin bagel with the flavored cream cheese, felt full after, will be returning!

Omg! My husband and I took a day trip to PC. After not being waited on at one restaurant we ended up at Bagel Maker. Never been so glad to get poor service at one place. We both had the Eggseptional bagel with sausage on a Rosemary garlic bagel. I have never eaten a better bagel. It was AMAZING! The staff and the owner were super friendly and the owner even gave us a peanut butter and jelly pastry that was pretty damn good also. Definitely will be back the next time we are in PC!

First time; loved the tastfully fresh tasting basic breakfast bagel! 5💥

Very friendly with a large selection of bagels and cream cheeses. Plus a few other things if you want more than a bagel.

Real Bagels!! Made on premises. You can even get lox on a bagel which made my husband very very happy. The coffee was good (no fancy stuff for hot coffee) and we had fresh pumpkin twists out of the oven. The jokes are free and plentiful and the service is fantastic. The eat in bar is small but most people seemed to take out. If you love bagels, definitely give this place a try!

Stopped in desperately wanting just a small cup of water but couldnt resist a cream smoothie after glancing at the menu. The guy behind the counter tried his best to make my day just a little brighter and I have to say its hard not to smile when being served with some jokes. Excellent service and delicious Ja Mocha Me Crazy.

Excellent food! Creative bagel sandwiches that are excellent. I probably ate here four or five mornings in a row, and sometimes for lunch too. I highly recommend you try this place. They open really early too so its great for stopping to grab food on your way to the boat for a day on the water!

I grew up in in Panama City and today was the first day I had this place!! It was incredible. The two ladies working the front counter around 7:30AM rocked it! They were so quick, yet professional the entire time! I will definitely be back!!

Great bagel selection, friendly and fast service! The store is small and they can be busy but its worth the wait.

Favorite place to get bagels, cinnamon raisin w/ strawberry cream cheese, and the lox and capers on everything bagels are fantastic.Picked up a bag of dog treats and my dogs love them.

Again everything was great. Their Turkey with the walnut cream cheese was so good. I even got the doggie treats this time to bring home to my dogs. They loved them. Thanks again Bagel Maker.

Kind of a tradition l love the friendly faces hot coffee and a bagel of the day

This is a total must when in the area. Took my girlfriend here and everything we ordered was delicious. There are many choices of breakfast, lunch and desserts.

Fantastic bagels and cream cheese so fresh. The bacon ranch pasta salad is delicious

The selection here is excellent 👌🙌 the bagels and cream cheese are great, so many different flavors. Their smoothies are not the best, just made with ice and water.... Their breakfast sandwiches look amazing. Definitely a place to try over and over, to try new things 🙂 I do think that the smoothie could have been made with too much water, so I will give it another try 😉

It’s been a number of years since we’ve been here, just got a few items to go and will try them for breakfast in the morning.

Ive never been a bagel fan, recently, for the past few months, Ive acquired a taste and thats thanks to The Bagel Maker. These things are always fresh and tasty. Service is courteous and polite, And quick.

Customer service is good. If you are in the area and are craving a bagel it is a good choice.

Always friendly and great food. Especially love the bagel dogs

Great food,large serving size, good prices.Open 15 hours a day I believe.

Great variety. Loved the blueberry bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. Everything is delicious and the prices are great!

Awesome Experience 🔥🙏🏾 Great Food Great Service 🤗Thank You!!

Its always a delight to support a local business especially one who has such good food. I cant say enough good about this place.

Wonderful sandwiches and very friendly staff

You can NEVER go wrong at The Bagel Maker! One of our FAVORITE PLACES to go! If they have pecan tarts, be sure to get one of those! YUM!!

Pretty cool place with a nice staff.

Very good for the area. Compared to a true ny bagel it is a 3. Read: best your gonna get in that region.

Always delicious food, fast service and nicest group of people working.

I’m right now having the best Greek salad I’ve ever had in my life! Wendy is a salad artists! Full of vegetables. Fresh cucumbers tomatoes, Greek olives and feta red onions cut so thin! Crisp romaine I challenge you to get a better Greek salad in bay county ! Thanks Wendy! Your salad is the bomb!

Great bagels and an amazing staff.

OMG, Its the Best place for goodies and more! Needless to say their bagels are awesome they have such a wide variety from playing onion blueberry they have all sorts of cream cheeses as well from jalapeno two strawberry blueberry whatever your heart desires also make an awesome BLT on a bagel I would highly recommend also try the block lava

Bagel was good, I would have preferred a different cheese. Very fast service, and friendly staff.

Very friendly. Cute place. Bagels are very good.

Clean space with a friendly staff, this is a great place for a quick bite. They have bagels, cookies, desserts, drinks, chips and some specialty treats for your canine friend. The sandwiches are made fresh on a fresh bagel with fresh garnishing and condiments. The tuna is great on a garlic sesame bagel. The pastrami with onion is quite tasty and can be heated. They have bagel chips for sale for those who like a crunchy snack. I enjoy sitting outside while eating my sandwich at one of the two outside tables. I have seen others standing and eating at the window counter inside. The blueberry and cinnamon raisin bagels with flavored cream cheese and a cup of coffee hit the spot on the morning.

My boys and I have always and will always love this local gem!

Friendly staff! Amazing bagels! Homemade dog treats! The Bagel Maker is great for breakfast or lunch.

Great people with nice bagels. Our sandwiches were freshly prepared, enormous and a good value.

This the only place in all of Bay County FL that Ive been able to find awesome lox & capers. Great little shop.

Awesome bagels. Great folks

This local business makes delicious fresh bagels, desserts, and breads along with a full selection of excellent cream cheese flavors. They also do sandwiches on their bagels and make homemade smoothies. We have been several times and have never been disappointed with anything we ordered.

Had the chicken sandwich on their sundried tomato bagel! YUMMY! Closest place I’ve found to NY bagels.

What a great place to grab a bagel and relax with friends. The food is great and the company is even better!!!!

Excellent bagels, sandwiches, cookies, bread loaves, and customer service

They have very friendly staff, and super fast service. However, There was a piece of hair baked into my bagel which was a downer because obviously I had to toss it. ( I know it was just a mistake so no hard feelings!) Their Java chocolate chip smoothie was ok.

GREAT little place, TUESDAYS is when they make the Bengals with the Asiago cheese baked on top. YOU GOTTA TRY IT!

Great bagel with homemade jalapeno cream cheese. Could not ask for better unless I was in NYC

Great service and even better food.

I will definitely be back for more bagels!! So good!

We drove out of our way to get here based on the reviews. It was worth it! No waiting, very friendly and efficient staff, and the bagels were perfect. Got a few items to go so well enjoy those in a few miles. Very satisfying!

Ehhhh, okay at best. Dont let the reviews fool you!

Delish! Dont forget the cream cheese!

Great bagels

Darling place. Excellent food. Highly recommend.

I say it every time - my favorite place in the Panhandle! Wendy and the gang are the BEST and any sandwich you choose will melt in your mouth and leave you happy for the rest of the day!

Love when I am able to go over here!! Great food and a WONDERFUL staff!

ALWAYS THE BEST!

Friendly, fast and great tasting food

We visited Saturday morning for the first time and it was amazing! We had an everything bagel with cream cheese and Wally our 4 legged baby had one of the homemade dog treats. So many options cant wait to go back and try another flavor of bagel. Friendly, Fresh & Fantastic!!

Went there for the first time today, friendly welcome when I walked in. Gentlemen there helped us figure out what to get. The egg spectacular was 10/10

I have enjoyed the bagle maker forma years

The staff is super friendly and the bagels are the best! And they have dog treats! 🐕❣️

Always delicious! Great people!

Such a great find! I was in the area for work and was craving a delicious breakfast. The Bagel Maker did not disappoint! Not only are the bagels amazing, but the Owners are so sweet. I will be coming back each time I’m in town!

Soft and chewy just delious

Really good bagels and very friendly service. I got an egg sandwich with sausage and it was lovely. We liked it so much that we took 6 bagels home with us. My pup also enjoyed their homemade dog treats. We will be coming back!
