Big Apple Bagels is the kind of morning stop that smells like toasted dough before you even reach the counter. The menu is built around fresh baked bagels, cream cheese, muffins, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, deli sandwiches, lunch boxes, and catering trays. It is not a sit-down dinner place with heavy plates and candlelight. It is a bright breakfast and lunch counter where a bagel can be plain and simple, or stacked with eggs, meat, cheese, turkey, bacon, lox, or roast beef.
This Big Apple Bagels restaurant menu and price list uses the Elgin, Illinois take-out menu as the main price sheet, with single bagel and drink details pulled from the East Lansing online menu. Prices can change by store, order channel, tax, bagel type, spread choice, and add-ons, so treat this as a close price guide before you order. On the Elgin menu, breakfast sandwiches run from $5.19 to $11.99, gourmet sandwiches cost $8.49, specialty sandwiches cost $8.99, triple deckers cost $10.99, and catering items climb as high as $53.95.
High-End Picks After the First Look
The priciest item on the Elgin price sheet is the Half Sandwich Platter at $53.95. It includes six sandwiches cut into twelve halves, which makes it the top pick for office lunches, school events, church groups, and morning meetings that slide into noon. The Breakfast Box follows at $49.99 and brings 12 bagels, two half-pound tubs of cream cheese, and 8 jumbo muffins in a box that can double as a tray.
For a premium solo order, the Lox & Cream Cheese breakfast sandwich is the top pick at $11.99. It brings lox, cream cheese, tomato, and red onion on a fresh baked bagel. It tastes richer than the egg sandwiches and feels more like a deli-style breakfast. For a premium group order, pair the Breakfast Box with a Coffee To Go Box at $19.99, or choose the Bit-O’ Bagel tray at $45.99 with three cream cheese choices. That kind of order can feed a room the way warm light fills a bakery case.

The bagel section is the heart of the menu. A single bagel keeps breakfast light, while a Dozen Deal turns the counter into a group breakfast. The Mini Deal is a smart pick for a small home breakfast because it gives six bagels and one tub of cream cheese. The Dozen Deal is better for a family or small office. The Mega Deal is built for a larger room, with 18 bagels and two cream cheese tubs.
Bagel toppings change the price fast. A plain bagel is cheap, but cream cheese, butter, hummus, peanut butter, extra spread, or a BABS’ Choice bagel can raise the total. For the cleanest order, choose a plain, everything, sesame, or cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese. For a richer bite, choose cream cheese on an Asiago, jalapeño, Swiss melt, French toast, or other premium bagel when offered.
Breakfast Sandwiches
| Breakfast Item | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Morning Classic | Scrambled eggs and American cheese. | $5.19 |
| Breakfast B.L.T. | Bacon, lettuce, and tomato with choice of cream cheese. | $5.79 |
| Just Veggies! Omelet | Scrambled eggs, green pepper, tomato, and onion. | $5.79 |
| Southern Tradition | Sausage, bacon, or ham with scrambled eggs and American cheese. | $5.89 |
| Northern Omelet | Sausage, scrambled eggs, American cheese, tomato, and green pepper. | $5.99 |
| Start Fresh | Egg whites, Provolone cheese, tomato, and turkey sausage. | $5.99 |
| Lox & Cream Cheese | Lox, cream cheese, tomato, and red onion. | $11.99 |
The breakfast sandwich list is short, clear, and useful. Morning Classic is the lowest-priced egg sandwich at $5.19. It works well when you want eggs and cheese without meat. Southern Tradition is the classic meat breakfast, with sausage, bacon, or ham plus eggs and cheese. Northern Omelet adds tomato and green pepper, so it tastes more like a full omelet on a bagel.
Start Fresh is the lighter high-protein pick because it uses egg whites, Provolone, tomato, and turkey sausage. Breakfast B.L.T. leans more toward a lunch sandwich, with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cream cheese. Lox & Cream Cheese costs much more than the rest, but it also brings a different kind of breakfast. The lox, cream cheese, tomato, and red onion give it a cool deli bite, like a salt breeze across a warm bagel.
Gourmet Sandwiches, Specialty Sandwiches, and Triple Deckers
| Sandwich Group | Choices | Sandwich Price | Value Meal Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gourmet Sandwiches | B.L.T., Classic Turkey, Mediterranean Veg-Out, Grilled Chicken, Ham & Cheddar, Tuna Salad. | $8.49 | $11.49 |
| Specialty Sandwiches | Turkey Club, Turkey & Havarti, Holey Guacamole, Kick-N-Roast Beef, Big Apple Club, Roma Italian, Chicken Caesar. | $8.99 | $11.99 |
| Triple Deckers | California Club or Classic Club on toasted bread. | $10.99 | $13.99 |
Lunch at Big Apple Bagels is built around bagel sandwiches and toasted bread sandwiches. Gourmet sandwiches are the lowest-priced lunch group at $8.49. Classic Turkey and B.L.T. are the safest choices. Mediterranean Veg-Out is the best meat-free lunch, with hummus or cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, and red onion. Grilled Chicken and Ham & Cheddar feel more filling without moving into the higher sandwich group.
Specialty sandwiches cost $8.99. Big Apple Club is the house-name lunch pick, with ham, roast turkey, bacon, American cheese, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Roma Italian brings ham, hard salami, Provolone, red onion, and vinaigrette. Turkey & Havarti tastes softer because it uses smoked turkey, Havarti, tomato, lettuce, and onion chive cream cheese. Holey Guacamole is the brighter turkey choice because guacamole and green pepper cut through the bread and meat.
Triple Deckers are the tallest lunch sandwiches on the Elgin sheet. They cost $10.99 as sandwiches and $13.99 as value meals. California Club brings smoked turkey, Havarti, guacamole, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Classic Club brings roast turkey, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. These are the best picks when a bagel sandwich feels too small and you want something stacked high, like a little lunch tower.
Gourmet Muffins and Muffin Packs
| Muffin Item | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Jumbo Muffin | One large gourmet muffin. | $3.29 |
| 4 Pack | Four jumbo muffins. | $12.29 |
| 6 Pack | Six jumbo muffins. | $17.49 |
| 12 Pack | Twelve jumbo muffins. | $34.99 |
| Mini Muffins | Three mini muffins. | $2.49 |
| Dozen Mini Muffins | Twelve mini muffins. | $8.99 |
| 3 Dozen Mini Muffin Tin | Thirty-six mini muffins. | $29.99 |
Muffins are a big part of the Big Apple Bagels brand. A jumbo muffin costs $3.29, which makes it an easy sweet add-on with coffee. The 4 Pack and 6 Pack work well for home or work. The 12 Pack at $34.99 is the biggest muffin pack on the regular menu. Mini muffins are better for sharing, especially when a full muffin feels too much after a bagel sandwich.
The best muffin order depends on the table. One person can get a jumbo muffin with coffee and call it breakfast. A small office can use a dozen mini muffins as a snack tray. A bigger morning group may want the 3 Dozen Mini Muffin Tin, which gives many bite-size pieces instead of a few large muffins. The mini muffins are like little doorbells for the sweet tooth: small, quick, and hard to stop after one.
Catering and Group Menu Prices
| Catering Item | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Boxed Lunch | Sandwich, chips, fruit, and two mini muffins. | $11.99 |
| Half Sandwich Platter | Six sandwiches cut into twelve halves. | $53.95 |
| Quartered Sandwiches | Five sandwiches cut into twenty pieces. | $44.95 |
| Muffin Dessert Tray | Three dozen assorted mini muffins. | $29.99 |

| Bit-O’ Bagel | Bite-size bagel pieces and three specialty cream cheese choices; serves 12 to 18. | $45.99 |
| Coffee To Go Box | Hot or cold drink box; holds six 16-ounce servings. | $19.99 |
The catering menu is where Big Apple Bagels starts to look like an office breakfast partner. The Boxed Lunch at $11.99 is a clean one-person meal with a sandwich, chips, fruit, and mini muffins. It works well when each guest needs their own food. The Half Sandwich Platter at $53.95 and Quartered Sandwiches at $44.95 work better when guests can pick pieces from a shared tray.
For breakfast meetings, Bit-O’ Bagel is one of the best group choices. It brings bite-size pieces and three cream cheese options, so guests can taste without taking a full bagel. Bites & Minis Platter is even more snack-friendly because it mixes bagel bites and mini muffins. Coffee To Go Box costs $19.99 and serves six 16-ounce cups, so it pairs well with a bagel tray when the room needs caffeine more than conversation.

| Energy Drink | Grab-and-go energy drink. | $3.19 |
Big Apple Bagels drinks fit the breakfast and lunch menu well. Brewed coffee is the low-cost coffee order, while lattes and flavored lattes cost more. A flavored latte with a muffin can turn a simple stop into a sweet morning break. Smoothies cost $6.49 and work better when you want fruit flavor instead of coffee.
The drink menu also helps with catering. A Coffee To Go Box costs $19.99 at Elgin and holds six 16-ounce servings. That price makes it easier to add coffee for a room without buying many single cups. For one person, brewed coffee and a bagel with cream cheese is the plainest breakfast pair. For a sweeter pair, try a jumbo muffin with a mocha latte or cinnamon toast latte.
Best Big Apple Bagels Orders by Budget
For the lowest-cost order, choose a single bagel or a bagel with butter. A bagel with cream cheese gives more flavor and still stays under $4 at the East Lansing menu price. Morning Classic is the lowest breakfast sandwich on the Elgin menu at $5.19, and it gives eggs and cheese without a high bill.
For a stronger breakfast under $6, choose Southern Tradition, Northern Omelet, Just Veggies! Omelet, or Start Fresh. These sandwiches bring eggs, cheese, meat or vegetables, and a fresh baked bagel. For lunch under $9, pick a Gourmet Sandwich. Classic Turkey, B.L.T., Grilled Chicken, Ham & Cheddar, Tuna Salad, and Mediterranean Veg-Out all cost $8.49 on the Elgin menu.
For a group, Mini Deal and Dozen Deal are the easiest bagel buys. Mini Deal works for a small table, while Dozen Deal works for a larger home or office breakfast. The Breakfast Box costs more, but it gives bagels, cream cheese, and jumbo muffins in one box. That makes it a strong pick when guests want both savory and sweet food.
Best Big Apple Bagels Orders by Taste
If you like a classic egg breakfast, choose Morning Classic or Southern Tradition. If you want vegetables, choose Just Veggies! Omelet, Start Fresh, or Mediterranean Veg-Out. If you want a deli-style breakfast, choose Lox & Cream Cheese. If you want the most filling lunch sandwich, choose a Triple Decker or Big Apple Club.
For a sweet order, choose a jumbo muffin, mini muffins, or a muffin pack. For a coffee shop-style order, pair a latte with a muffin or bagel and cream cheese. For a shared order, choose Bit-O’ Bagel, Bites & Minis Platter, or Half Sandwich Platter. The menu is simple, but it has many moods: soft cream cheese, crisp toast, smoky bacon, cool lox, sweet muffin tops, and coffee that pulls everything together.
