Join Wendi and Sarah on today’s episode, where the ladies try Bagles at Winston Salems “The Bagel Station”! Learn all about how the water in New York actually changes the NYC bagels and the dork’s food flashbacks regarding the delicious bread.
The Bagle Station – Winston Salem NC
Sarah and Wendi are trying something they have never had on the show before…Bagels!! They are traveling to Winston Salem to test The Bagel Station.
The Bagel Station has two locations in Winston, one in Whitacker Square off of Peacehaven Rd. and the other on Oakwood Dr. They have a large selection of Bagel flavors and different smears.
How to Find The Bagel Station
The Bagel Station has two locations in Winston Salem. Wendi and Sarah visited the store at 1977 Peacehaven Rd. Winston Salem. The store is located in a shopping center that is home to a few other restaurants and a grocery store.
The Menu
The Bagel Station has about every kind of bagel you could ever want, along with every kind of smear or topping your heart desires. They have lox bagels, multicolored bagels, the classics like The Everything Bagle and Cinnamon Raison. They have smears and sandwiches, and drinks!
Price Range
The Bagels range in price from $1-$9 per bagel, with the highest price bagel being a smoked salmon bagel. The sandwiches range from $7-$10 per sandwich.
Important Tips
- They sell their smears in larger size tubs! So if you have a favorite you can buy to have at home!
- They are only open until 2 pm so make sure that you get there early
How to Dress for The Bagel Station
This is a casual dining establishment, many wore shorts and t-shirts.
Parking
The Bagel Station is located in a strip mall type area so there is lots of parking!
Seating
When we arrived all of the chairs were stacked on the tables. It could have been close to closing time, or due to covid. Plan on possibly taking your bagel to go.
Ordering
Ordering was very straightforward and the employees were fairly friendly and willing to help with our orders.
Is This A Date Night Place
ummmm….if you date is craving a bagel and it’s before 2 pm…then sure?? But if you are trying to impress your date I wouldn’t recommend it.
Special Covid Instructions
There was a “No Mask No Service” sign on the door so remember your mask! There also appeared to be no indoor seating at this time.
Portions
The bagels were average-sized bagels. Maybe a little on the large size. They did give plenty of smear!
What We Ordered and What We Thought
We both ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese and chive smear. We both loved the cream cheese but the bagel was just ok.

- Sarah – The House in the Cerulean Sea, TJ Klune (I just recently found out that this book is problematic. I still appreciate the book for the story and the ways that I related to it but I am not sure that I can wholeheartedly recommend this book. If you would like to read more, please read this article. The book is based on the 60’s Scoop which was an effort in the ’60s to rehome indigenous children with white families.
