I had the pleasure of eating Isaac’s bagels at a workshop in Durham. The bagels were good but I prefer them to be a little less chewy and softer. I had an everything bagel. The real star of the show was the in-house vegan cream cheese. It was amazing! I think it might have been the best vegan cream cheese I’ve ever had. Kudos for providing someone with a dairy allergy something delicious I could eat.

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 - Sichuan Chili - WONDERFUL SPICE. If you don’t like cream cheese: Fresh avocado - PERFECTION - with a splash of lemon so it stays fresh! We actually came back after our little walk through the Duke Gardens to grab another one. Absolutely sensational!

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” in NC entirely, until I just stumbled across this pace! The bagel was absolute perfection, the right amount of chewy texture and the right blend of toppings for their Everything Bagel to taste just right. The service was super fast, my breakfast sandwich was ready within minutes of ordering, and the eggs were delightfully fluffy and buttery with PLENTY of cheese! I would drive out of my way to get bagels from this place!!
Be warned that parking is street parking only and the shopfront is easy to miss because there’s no official signs or anything, it’s just a quick walk-up and grab n go kind of place, but it’s WORTH IT!

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 (incredibly minor, no stars deducted) issue I had is the bagels weren't cut completely through which was only a problem because they're so good I wanted to eat as soon as I got my food and couldn't do so while driving as the halves were still partially attached.
The cream cheeses I had on my bagels were delicious! I had the dill and the burnt jalapeño and both were flavorful and unique.

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 preparation time. Looking forward to them moving to a place where you can sit down.

I am so thankful Isaac's Bagels exists. I work within walking distance of their shop and have often gotten their weekday special of a bagel sandwich and coffee. Everything I have had has been absolutely delicious! There have been many times that I have accidentally forgotten my breakfast at home and they have literally saved my day (and stomach)! Truly a favorite that never disappoints.

First time trying Isaac's today, what a delicious bagel shop! You know a place is great when there's a line going outside. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese on cinnamon raisin, it was so cheesy and filling! The staff there are very friendly, everyone was wide awake and smiling. I also only had to wait 2 minutes for my sandwich and coffee. They're fast and efficient and I'll definitely be back!
