Bagel Station II

The bagels are always fresh and they have a wide selection of cream cheeses. The staff greets me by name and knows what I like to order.

My favorite bagel place to pick up a hot pepperoni pizza bagel and relax after a 5k or to relax there after mass on Sundays. Great food, awesome service, and an awesome atmosphere.

Good bagels with a very friendly staff! I’ve been to both locations on different occasions. The original, off Stratford Rd, is tiny with seating for maybe six? I also find the staff there to be unhappy and somewhat disingenuous! However, the second location is large with seating for maybe 40 people? The staff is much more interested in the customer and happy to wait on you! The bagels are always fresh and delicious at both sites. However, don’t judge the place on my three stars, as I’m not a huge bagel fanatic! I’d certainly suggest it for the bagel seekers!

My favorite Sunday morning quick breakfast spot! Love the egg salad, pizza bagels, smoothies and make your own croissants. Very delicious, quick and easy :)

Good bagels with great variety. Recommend the strawberry cream cheese. They need to refill their coffee more often, but great place otherwise.

I was craving a bagel with lox and cream cheese all morning, so I decided to try out this place.
I had passed it a few times on the way to other places and it always sparked my interest.
Upon entering, I realized it’s a quaint, small business type place. I’m pretty sure the lady who took my order was the owner. The people working there are awesome and have a good sense of humor.
I got the salmon and cream cheese bagel. It was more expensive than many of the other selections because of the smoked salmon… but it was worth it. They have a pretty big selection of types of bagel… I may have to try the cheddar kind next time.
I also got the Carribean colada smoothie. It was really good, although I could tell it came from a powdered mix and not fresh fruits. I didn’t really mind that though!
I really like supporting local businesses and this seems like a local business worth supporting!

Bagel Station II will be my «to-​go» place to get my bagel fix.
I ordered their tuna salad café sandwich on a cheddar bagel topped with lettuce and tomato. It was a good «sandwich.» I wasn’t in the mood for their breakfast bagels but will be getting one of those on my next visit. My fiancé order a turkey «sandwich» on a salt bagel and she loves their bagel.
Bagel Station has a lot to offer as far as bagels, wraps and fresh baked bread. They also offer frozen drinks, smoothies and fresh baked goods. Be sure to stop by to check out their menu. I’m a fan for sure.

Diverse flavor options and friendly staff. I think the cream cheese tubs are a little steep in price, but everything else is gravy. A well kept secret are the 5 cheese and bacon bagels made at this location. Get it with bacon, egg, and cheese (duh) and be prepared to weep with joy. So delicious!

Fresh bagels do not abound in Winston-​Salem. If you want bagels for breakfast, you have three options: Bruegger’s, Bagel Station, and Bagel Station II. (Don’t try to convince me that Panera and Dunkin’ Donuts are valid alternatives).
Bruegger’s is fine. However, when given the choice between chain food and local flavor, I’l pick the hometown team almost every time. The original Bagel Station, located a competitive five hundred yards from Bruegger’s, is a tiny hub for early birds seeking a bagel to peck. Bagel Station II, located near the intersection of Robin Hood and Peace Haven, is its less tiny offspring. The original Bagel Station is great. I’m going to review Bagel Station II because I think it deserves the same four stars as its predecessor.
First, the downsides. A small cup o’ joe will cost you $ 1.50, roughly the same as what you’d pay at Starbucks. Contrary to an earlier review, I’ve found the coffee to be pretty tasty. That being said, I think that local breakfast spots should serve cheap coffee on principle. Bagels are $ 0.98 each, which in my mind is fairly reasonable, though I wouldn’t complain if they knocked the price down about ten cents. The egg sandwiches are solid but not exceptional. The microwave prep cuts down on time and quality.
The bagels themselves are very good, especially when they’re fresh. The warm rounds of dough are perfectly crusty on the outside while still preserving a nice, chewy center. They have a pretty good shelf life, too, and you can always toast them to bring out the fullness of the flavor. Bagel Station II offers a wide selection, including Pumpkin, Cranberry Orange, Chocolate Chip, and Jalapeño Cheddar. I’m a Blueberry guy myself, but I hear good things about the Jalapeño Cheddar. I guess I just don’t understand the appeal of jalapeño anything for breakfast. I’m a big fan of their Bagel Bars, which are made with wheat dough and stuffed with tiny apple slices, walnuts, and raisins. So far, I haven’t been disappointed.
The tasty bagels and quick, cordial service make this an ideal stop on the way to work. Bagel Station II puts a Southern spin on a New York tradition, and the end result is something special.

For North Carolina these bagels are great! If I was in New Jersey I would still think these bagels are great. The bagels with cream cheese are the way to go here. My boyfriend got a sausage egg and cheese sandwich and said it tasted like a fast food breakfast sandwich. I noticed they were microwaving the eggs so it seems they don’t have a grille to make the sandwiches. It gets busy in there on the weekends so if you are planning on staying to enjoy your bagels definitely scope out the seat situation first. But, this one is easily triple the size of their other location.

One of the better bagel places in the South. The place is a quick sit down or take out bagel shop with the regular choices.
Hit: Macaroni salad
Miss: Overpriced cream cheese tubs (go to HT next door for Philly Cream Cheese).

We went to the Bagel Station on a Wednesday morning. It was fairly full for a Wednesday, with lots of moms and kids since it was still summer. It’s not a fancy place, but the bagels are great. Lots of varieties, and they have good cream cheese options. I had the everything bagel with plain cream cheese, and the hubster had a jalapeño cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagels were just right — a nice snap to the outside and a good density on the inside. I will say that I think they put too much cream cheese in the bagel.
The coffee is TERRIBLE. You would think that they would have decent coffee at a bagel place. It was burnt and smoky tasting, and there was no point in trying to mask it with cream and sugar.
Summary — I would go again for the bagels and cream cheese. Avoid the coffee.

I’m not a huge fan of bagels, but what I have ordered from here has been an enjoyable breakfast. I do, however, dislike how few tables are available. Its too crowded to eat in most of the time, so don’t count on it. Also, everyone is a Duke buff… interesting.

If bagel station is modeling itself on NYC bagel shops, it has nailed it. The workers were abrupt and basically incompetent. On Sunday at 10a, they were out of most of their bagels, and they charged me more than what they should have. They’d get 1 star but at least they’re a local company, so I’ll be a little nice.

I went to the Bagel Station on Sunday morning. They had a pretty good pre or post church crowd.
They have 10 – 12 different types of bagels and several cream cheese flavors. They have other baked goods, bagel sandwiches, fruit, and pretty much any other breakfast item you might want.
You order at the counter. The counter service was lacking. I mean, they asked what I wanted and there wasn’t any further communication.
I got a Cranberry Orange bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagel was really good. Very dense and pleasantly chewy with a nice crusty exterior. The orange flavor was strong and the bites of cranberry were delicious. The cream cheese was creamy but light, a surprising contrast to the dense bagel.
The ambiance is nothing fancy but it works with padded benches, booths, and tables.
There aren’t very many good bagel places in Winston-​Salem and given my proclivity to avoid chains I’ll definitely return to The Bagel Station II in the future.
You can also try the original Bagel Station off of Stratford.
