Best bagel in the area! My go to in the turkey club sandwich on an everything bagel. Sooooooo good! The service is very fast and friendly! There's a great second hand store right next door that is also worth a visit!

The bagels here are absolutely incredible, especially if you can get them fresh! We love everything bagel with regular cream cheese and the cinnamon raisin bagel with fig and honey cream cheese.

Here me out: I am a bagel lover, and Isaac’s does not only have amazing bagels, but something you won’t find in many places. Isaac has cream cheese combinations which are not from this world. One of them - Honey fig - OUTSTANDING! Another one -...Read More

This is my favorite bacon egg and cheese of all time (protip: add hot sauce!) After dozens of orders, Isaac’s has never disappointed me. The bagels are fantastic and the eggs are cooked perfectly. Make sure to order ahead on weekends as it gets absolutely...Read More

I love me a good bagel sandwich post morning bike ride, or between Sunday pickleball and church. Oddly specific, but those are prime times that I come by. I also love coming here cause people are just so nice and they’re super fast with your...Read More

Best bagels I've ever had. Delightfully chewy but somewhat soft. Huge portions of sandwich ingredients! I had the bacon and egg with cream cheese on one occasion and egg and cream cheese on another and I've never had more egg on a breakfast sandwich! The only...Read More

I’ve lived in Durham a min now and didn’t know about Isaac’s till I saw a TikTok. I’m so thankful now. By far the best bagel shop in town.

I’m not a big bread person - I know, people think I’m crazy - I do love delicious bread, but don’t get cravings for it or go out of my way to eat bread. So that speaks volumes about how amazing Isaac’s Bagels are. Hands...Read More

Egg and cheese with dill scallion CC on everything - perfection. Good, genuine bagels that are moist and chewy like they should be. I’ll try the lox sando next time I’m in town!

These are hands down the best bagels in the triangle area. I grew up on NY/NJ bagels and feel like I’ve tried every bagel in the Raleigh, Durham, Cary area looking for anything remotely close to back home. I had given up finding “good bagels”...Read More

I’ve been going to Isaac‘s Bagels for about a year, and I never leave hungry or unimpressed! Their classic bagel combos are delicious, but I especially love their more inventive sweet and savory bagels. Pictured is the Winter Tomato with Szechuan chili cream cheese on...Read More

I buy bagels here nearly every Sunday. They're so fresh and the sandwich choices will have you deciding what to get for hours. The sausage egg and cheese with spicy cheese is too die for. I generally order online and Isaac's is accurate on their...Read More

Delicious bagels that were still warm when Togo ordered picked up. Loved the Adjika green cream cheese. The flavor of the bagels was complex and the texture was chewy but not too much! Loved them.

Thankful for folks on Reddit recommending this place. You can tell that things are made with intention and the cashier was quite friendly. (You could tell they liked their job), and I wish more places operated like this.

Best bagels in North Carolina. The cream cheese is delicious too. I live 50 minutes away but it’s worth it. The employees are so kind and I’m happy to support them

Best bagel in Durham! I come here whenever I’m in town in the morning. I love this place! The onion bagel is my go-to— with either the burnt jalapeño or Szechuan cream cheese. Very kind staff and excellent bagels. Wish I lived nearby!
