Beach Bagels

Was driving around looking for on-street parking to get to the beach - meters were right in front of this spot. Perfect. Noticed a small line, which is always a hint of a good food stop so I hopped in line just before 8am. Great quick breakfast sandwich, but get here early. Even on a Saturday morning post Labor Day/basically out of tourist season the line got deep fast after 8am. Staff member was outside taking orders for people who knew what they wanted to speed up the line (inside is very tight). Ordered a sausage egg and cheese with a black ice tea to go. Under $9 and 10 minute wait. Proceeded to walk 2 minutes to the beach and enjoy my breakfast in peace. For the price, quality, and proximity to the beach this was a solid find.

Beach bagels are legit bagels, they’re excellent, crusty outside and chewy inside. However, since we’ve been there before I noticed this year the sandwiches are very skimpy on the meat. I would rather they raise their prices and add the meat back they used to have then decrease their quality. Salads are also good, but against skimpy in size for the price. Extra lettuce added to the salad costs minimal to add. Will be back but will ask in the future for extra meat if possible, for an additional price.

Great little breakfast and lunch nook in the middle of Old Orchard in Maine. Exceptional staff and the Turkey Egg and Cheddar bagel….wow!!! Great variety and price decently too. My new go to place when visiting Old Orchard.
