Benchwarmers Bagels - Raleigh

I had the best bagel I've ever tasted! It was perfectly coated and had a delightful texture on both sides. The service was friendly and quick. They offer a variety of bagels and sandwiches, and they also serve large cups of locally roasted coffee. I found the prices to be very reasonable as well. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for breakfast or just to grab a bagel!

The bagels here are absolutely delicious! I recommend trying them early on weekends, as there's a high demand and they tend to sell out quickly. My only complaint is that the vegan cream cheese is a bit too runny.

The restaurant offers some intriguing flavor combinations. I tried the #1 sandwich, which features avocado, roasted garlic, radishes, and a charred grapefruit glaze, and I added scrambled eggs on a za'atar bagel. I really enjoyed the crunch of the radish along with the light sweetness of the grapefruit and garlic. My husband ordered the #9 sandwich with bacon. While the sandwiches were quite delicious, they were a bit on the salty side and a touch pricey at $17.32 for the two bagel sandwiches, especially after adding extras and before factoring in drinks. Overall, it was a satisfying experience. There’s plenty of parking available, although we usually use an EV charger about 0.7 miles away from Benchwarmers. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff is very friendly.
