They say that good things come to those who wait... and this is definitely the case with The Whole Bagel. Let's begin with the obvious stuff: the bagel was delicious. I had the bacon and brie and it was great- fresh ingredients and well-made. The problem comes with the the wait time. (We visited on a Saturday lunchtime which is clearly their peak time. The Whole Bagel have a strange duel system where they are preparing for both take-away customers waiting by the counter and those who are sitting upstairs in the restaurant area. I feel they simply don't have the capacity with staff numbers and space to achieve this effectively. This unfortunately results in a very long wait time, both in simp...
We were looking for lunch while meandering around Bath and found the whole Bagel with space upstairs. We ordered a salad and a prosciutto and brie bagel respectively. The two blueberry smoothies came quickly and wee super tasty. The food came a bit later. The salad was very plain, we expected more for the money in all honesty. I had asked how big the bagel was when ordering and when it turned up I wished I'd ordered two, it was slightly bigger than a McVities digestive biscuit! The filling was all very tasty but it was small. I also ordered a poppy seed bagel and it turned up with about 10 seeds on the top! All in all, fresh tasty food but all very small and disappointing value.
Stumbled upon The Whole Bagel whilst looking for a place for lunch, and decided to give it a try. The menu is quite large and has a number of vegetarian and vegan options. The bagel bread is nice and not too soft, but not too hard either. Service was good and prices were very reasonable, so all in all a great find.
We came here twice during our trip to Bath and we only came for 2 days! We had bagels and baguettes, they were great, quite service and we sat in their courtyard to eat. Maybe a little bit more filling for the baguettes would be good! Recommend the Brie Prosciutto and then Bacon Brie!

Waited over 30 minutes for one cold bagel at midday on a Wednesday so hardly peak time. Bagel was lovely, but wouldn’t visit again due to the wait. having now read the reviews while I was waiting this is normal. Also unnecessarily wrapped in paper.
We wanted a quick sandwich before visiting the Roman Baths and this place was perfect. Everybody could have a choice they liked and there was even a gluten free option for me, a coeliac. Good value for money in the city centre.
This cafe is small but still easily accommodated our party of 5. A good selection of breads and fillings, happy to make alterations to the menu items as each order is freshly made. Staff were pleasant and overall feel is good.
Frequent visitor, always hits the spot. Great value for money with a bagel that is often too full (if that’s a bad thing?? . We typically takeaway but tables available upstairs and in the courtyard

I was on vacation with my friends, and we all were starving, so we looked for a place to eat brunch, somehow, we ended up there, and I must say, this is the best bagel I’ve ever eaten!
The interior of the establishment seemed a little bit aged, but(! … the staff was very friendly and the bagels were really delicious. We highly recommend the falafel bagel!
