Bagels and coffee sit mid-Terminal B at Great American Bagel
Find Great American Bagel in Terminal B at Memphis (MEM), past security, useful if your flight goes out of the B gates. It runs typical airport daytime hours, generally early morning through late afternoon, so it covers the main bank of departures but may not help on very late-night flights. This is a straight shot grab-and-go stop, not a sit-down restaurant, and it sits close enough to gates that you can keep an eye on boarding groups while they call zones.
Prices land in normal airport range: expect around $4–$6 for a plain or flavored bagel with cream cheese and $7–$10 for a loaded breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon or sausage. Coffee, tea, and bottled drinks run about $3–$5 each, so a basic bagel-and-coffee setup usually stays under $12. Portions are standard chain size, not oversized, which works if you just want something light before a short hop.
Menu focus is simple carbs and caffeine: bagels, cream cheese spreads, breakfast sandwiches, and a few deli-style options later in the day. If you want something reliable before a 7:30 a.m. departure out of B, a toasted egg-and-cheese on a plain or everything bagel is the safe order. Those watching timing should skip anything toasted “extra” during peak early morning rush, since that can add 5+ minutes when there’s a short line.
Lines usually move quickly because most orders are basic bagels and drip coffee, and there’s limited prep compared with a full grill. That said, when three or four flights out of B board within a 20–30 minute window, the queue can stretch to 10–15 people. Build a 10-minute buffer if you’re grabbing food between Group 3 and final boarding on a domestic flight.
Tip: If your gate is in Terminal C but you’re already walking through B, grab your bagel here; options thin out as you push deeper into the older C concourse.
