The bagels here are so good. Lots of fun options and customizations. The inside is super cute as well. The owner and staff are all very friendly and welcoming. There’s always a line and they do sell out fast so the earlier you come the better!!

Bagel aficionado, I am. This place has nothing to compare it to. Bagels were airy and soft fluffy on inside, crunchy chewy on the outside with a beautiful sheen, as though a shining would need to be used to entice new customers. Howdy bagels reputation preceeds them. Bagel flavors were select, and they have their own cream cheese mixes. If you want to level up your Bagel tasting game and start a popularity contest at the office, this is your winner. Hands down. Every time. Don't wait. Get in line before they open. The staff greet you with a smile and are kind and friendly. Seriously, don't wait. Go in. (I chose to get 1/2 dozen bagels. I can only imagine if I asked for a toasted bagel 🥯 😋)

If you’re going on Saturday morning be prepared to wait a bit (outside) in line and dress accordingly! Worth it though. Phenomenal service and food. Their bagels and shmear are good- just the right amount of chew and density but not dried out or tough. If you like sandwiches though definitely give one of their bagel sandwiches a try. The “hot to go” was the favorite of the 3 we tried (classic bacon egg cheese, pastrami, & hot to go). **FOUND OUT THEY HAVE A SMALL BONUS MENU THAT CHANGES WEEKLY. Ie alternate flavors of cream cheese, new sandwiches & possibly coffee syrups. Employee said it’s often posted to Instagram. **

My husband and I are from Colorado, and we stopped by your shop today. This is truly the best bagel shop we have ever tried! The bagels were incredibly fresh, perfectly chewy, and full of flavor. The service was wonderful and the shop had such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We’re so glad we found this place and will definitely come back whenever we’re in town!💙💙🧡
