Let's set the scene. It's Saturday morning and you're looking for an on-the-go breakfast fix — because sometimes, you just don't want a sit-down brunch experience.

Enter: A perfectly golden bagel. Whether you’re a classic breakfast sandwich or a lox bagel kind of person — we’re here to rise to the occasion + give y'all six local options to get your fix this weekend. 🥯

Ruby's Bagels

ICYMI, this new eatery in Mount Pleasant is all the buzz. Expect 20+ flavors of NY-style bagels, 18 flavors of cream cheese, and a selection of sandwiches at 280 W. Coleman Blvd.

Holey City Bagels

Grab a traditional hand-rolled water bagel from this spot operated by a team from New Jersey. Bonus: There's free parking across the street and the cutest in-house coffee bar at 43 Cannon St.

Little Line

We heard through the grapevine that Little Line imports NY bagels from H&H, so you know they're the real deal. Offering all-day breakfast and lunch, brunch, and wine-based + non-alcoholic cocktails, this neighborhood café is a true one-stop shop. Check it out at 176 Line St.

Bagel Nation

This is a tried and true weekend spot, offering $1.40 fresh-baked bagels + more than 15 flavors of coffee to pair with your 'wich. City Editor Lexa grew up getting the Chunky Monkey bagel and can't say she has any regrets.

Girl Nextdough

In true on-the-go fashion, check out this small batch food truck offering egg sandwiches, sourdough bagels + daily specials at 1230 Camp Rd.

Blondies Bagels

This Daniel Island neighborhood café features a fresh and seasonal menu with favorites like a meat, egg, and cheese sandwich at 245 Seven Farms Dr.

We recommend sitting outside to people-watch while you enjoy your sando.

Pssst: This is not a comprehensive list. There are plenty of other places to grab your favorite bagel sandwich + these are just a few. Happy brunchin', Charleston.
