Bustling bodega atmosphere

You know that feeling when you stumble upon a hidden gem? Well, that’s exactly what happened when we finally made it to Big Bon Bodega in Savannah, the local hotspot for Montreal-style bagels and creative sandwiches. For ages, it seemed this charming bodega was always closed, teasing us like a mirage in the dessert. But last weekend, the stars aligned, and we found it bustling with happy customers and a menu that practically sings. I ordered a Cuban-style bagel sandwich that was so good it made my taste buds do a little dance. The vibe was as inviting as the aroma wafting through the air—friendly staff, colorful décor, and even outdoor seating that felt like an invitation to stay awhile. With its prime location and tasty offerings, Big Bon Bodega isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience that highlights the charm of Savannah and the community spirit.
