I need you to imagine something.
You’re holding a bagel.
Normal. Safe. Predictable. Maybe you’re thinking cream cheese. Maybe egg and cheese if you’re feeling bold.
Now what if I told you that bagel could be the size of your fists… and stuffed with spaghetti and meatballs?
Or Italian beef.
Or a smashburger.
Or… and I’m not kidding… minestrone soup.
Welcome to Bagel Bombs from Bite This by Annie in Columbus, Ohio, aka some of the most unique food you will find anywhere in Central Ohio.
And yes, they are as insane as they sound.
What Are Bagel Bombs (And Why Are They So, Uhhh, Aggressive)?
These are not cute little “stuffed bagel bites.”
These are massive, full-send, no-regrets bagels that eat like a full meal and then some.
The first bite? Genuinely shocking.
It’s that moment where your brain goes, “This shouldn’t work,” and then immediately follows up with, “Oh wait… this absolutely works.”
The spaghetti and meatballs version feels like carbs inside carbs inside carbs… and yet it’s balanced. The Italian beef one is juicy and messy in the most satisfying way. The smashburger situation feels borderline illegal.
And somehow none of it feels gimmicky. It tastes intentional. Thought out. Like someone said, “What if we just stopped playing it safe?” and then actually did it.
If you’re searching for the most unique bakery in Columbus or viral food in Central Ohio that’s actually worth standing in line for… this is it.
And That’s Not Even the Wildest Part…
Because it’s not just savory chaos. Let’s talk about the PB&J Boppers.
Strawberry raspberry peanut butter. Peanut butter cup filling. White chocolate drizzle.
I don’t know how to explain this other than it tastes like your childhood lunch got a glow-up and a personality, and maybe a few stick-and-poke tattoos.
They’ve also dropped items like:
- PB&J Oatmeal Cream Pies
- Strawberry Shortcake Poundcake Parfait with strawberry soup and toasted marshmallow whipped cream
- Rotating “Reapers” that change with the monthly menu
- Their OG Not F*cking Box Brownies
- Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies
And here’s the kicker…
The menu changes monthly. Sometimes weekly.
So you never quite know what you’re going to get. Which honestly makes it more fun. Slightly stressful, too. But mostly fun.
Do Not Get Attached
If you saw a viral video of something and assume it will be there forever… I love your optimism.
Bite This rotates their menu constantly. The only consistent staples are the brownies, cookies, and a couple pub grub items. Everything else? Fair game.
The best way to see what’s currently available is their Instagram. The monthly menu is pinned. Specialty theme weeks pop up throughout the month.
It’s like food FOMO, but delicious.
Important: Get There Early
I say this with love.
If you roll up late on a Saturday and expect a full selection awaiting you… that’s a gamble to say the least.
Also, and I appreciate this, they actually take time with customers. It’s chaotic good energy, but it also means the line doesn’t move as fast as it could.
Why Bite This Has Some of the Most Unique Food in Columbus
Columbus has a great food scene. We know that.
But Bite This by Annie stands out because it refuses to be boring.
These Bagel Bombs are massive. The flavors are bold. The desserts feel equal parts nostalgic and batsh*t crazy.
Just show up early. Bring an appetite. And maybe mentally prepare yourself for spaghetti inside a bagel.
You’ve been warned.
