Founded twenty-one years ago, Bloomington Bagel Company is a popular spot with four locations around the Bloomington area. "I wanted to work somewhere that was fast paced, and of course really close to campus, considering that I'm going into my second year here at IU", said Jacob, one of the employees. "When the school year starts the lines go out of the door", he said with a small laugh. This isn't unbelievable. The establishment holds a very positive and relaxing energy, even through its busy state.
BBC has a very extensive bagel menu. Offering a variety of different types of bread, flavors, and spreads, it's actually quite impressive.
They don't only serve bagels! BBC serves a plethora of different cookies, pastries, and other baked goods. "I absolutely love their chocolate chip cookies", said a customer named Skyla. " I almost enjoy them more than the bagels!'", she said with a small smile.
A group of women excitedly chat while waiting for their orders. Snippets of their conversation could be heard from a distance. "This place is just so amazing"
BBC definitely caters to their more health conscious customers. They have salads, parfaits, and smoothies available for purchase.
