Bagel Bin & Deli II 16709 Orchard Stone Run, Charlotte, NC 28277

"Upon the glowing recommendations of many, I ventured into Bagel Bin II, my heart set on a New York-style bagel experience. Spoiler alert: my taste buds were left in a state of mild bewilderment. Firstly, the bagel. Envision a bagel that’s been daydreaming of being a crouton. That level of dryness. Yet, there’s a plot twist! One side of this enigmatic bagel was generously slathered with cream cheese - a lopsided surprise that brought a semblance of moisture to the otherwise arid terrain. Now, let’s talk about the lox. It was, indeed, present. A respectable amount, not too shabby. The lox was the silent hero of this culinary adventure, trying its best to uplift the spirits of its dry counterpart. The price tag? $11. Not a bank breaker, but for a bagel that’s having an identity crisis, one might pause. It’s the kind of price where you go, “Eh, I’ve paid more for worse.” In conclusion, Bagel Bin II’s bagel and lox is like getting a “C” in a class you thought you’d ace - acceptable, but you can’t help but feel a tad let down. Will I return? Maybe. Will I lower my expectations? Absolutely."

"I keep going back for the Cab. I can't resist it every time I'm in town. Very nice people and great food. First time to this place and it was great! I had The Cab on an egg everything bagel. Just a quick follow up, add breakfast and lunch here again and they are still crushing it."

"Went in on Thursday morning around 9am, not too busy y. This place is a hidden gem in Ballantyne that should be talked about. Bagels were fresh, toasted perfectly & not too expensive. They have a large menu so you can do breakfast or lunch. Will definitely be back to support this local business."

"Great bagel sandwich today, really hit the spot. I went for the egg everything bagel, double pork roll (or Taylor ham), and egg and American cheese. As you can see by pic it came out full, fresh and hot with cheese just the right level of melted. Really well done. The shop is clean and the staff was friendly. Will definitely stop again."

"Ordered and paid online which is very convenient. Walked in to pick up my order and walked right out. We ordered bagel sandwichs with eggs. I had a salt bagel which was descent tasting, but the first time I ever had so much salt in a bagel, both on top and bottom. I had to scrape salt off and it was still too salty. Overall breakfast was good."
