You can’t beat a classic bagel. Or can you? This is the question we’re faced with today. On one hand, bagel purists will say the bread doesn’t need messing with. It’s all in the chew, in the yeastiness, in the classic vibes, baby. On the other, bagel innovators will claim (at least, I think they will) that this is a doughy item that’s ripe for innovating with. Why give people a regular bagel when you can make a bagel 2.0? It’s 2026, after all.

We’d imagine Sam’s Club was thinking along the same lines when it was planning its newest bakery item. All we’re saying is, if you’ve ever been paralyzed by indecision over French toast or a bagel, it’s done the work for you.
Sam’s Club Member’s Mark French Toast Bagel
Sam’s Club has just debuted its new Member’s Mark French Toast Bagel in its store’s bakery section. Coming in bags of six, these new bagels, which were spotted by @samsclubfavorites, will cost you $3.82 per pack (or about 64 cents per portion). As far as bagels go, they definitely look on the softer side, so if you prefer yours super-dense and chewy, they might not be for you – if you like your bagels sweet, you’ll probably love these. They’re also infused with both cinnamon flavor and cinnamon bits, the latter hopefully providing a bit of extra texture.
You’ll need to like your bagels salty, too, though. On its website, Sam’s Club has listed the nutritional info for these bagels, and they have 540 milligrams per portion – or 23% of your recommended daily allowance. All you protein fiends will be very pleased to see that they also have 11 grams per portion, a pretty decent amount for a bread product.
And What’s The Verdict?
Well, these new bagels have literally just dropped, so there aren’t a lot of customer responses to go off just yet. We did spy an early review in @samsclubfavorites’ comment section, which said that they were “SO good and such a good price” – so we’re starting strong here, but we might have to wait for a few more reactions to come through before we give them a stamp of approval. It is worth mentioning, though, that Aldi’s Specially Selected Maple French Toast Bagels took the third spot in our ranking of the best supermarket bagels, with a 9/10 ranking, so we’re not averse to the concept. Not sure how French toast-y they’ll actually be (you might have to go to IHOP for that), but they’ll probably be pretty good.
