Bagel Express

Love the food, especially breakfast selections. They are very attentive and like to please Deli ingredients are delicious and of good quality. Don't ignore the incredibly tasty selection of daily made fresh Bagels. A winner for sure.

Cute place!! Mom & pop shop. Ordered lox bagel on jalapeño bagel and daughter had strawberry cream cheese sesame bagel. Bagels were freshly toasted, made in house and so light. Friendly service. Good coffee too.

Very high quality bagels and in house salads. The folks that work here are all very good people wish I lived closer to location. BTW, they get their pastrami from kenny and ziggys deli as good asnyc.

Great bagels and schmears. Wish they had a location in central Houston so I could be a regular.

NOT a mom and pop place anymore! The menu says Kenny & Ziggy's. Clearly some ownership change has taken place. The good news is now they have come into modern times with a card option because they used to be cash only. The bagels were stale and the strawberry schmear did not taste like strawberry and was neon pink. As we sat and ate our subway station old bagel, some regular customers complained about the coffee but did say it "tasted a little better today than it did last time". So I guess the coffee is lacking too. This place is not fresh and not a local business anymore.

We enjoy the bagels here. Although they are made to order we are not really a fan of breakfast plates. Their coffee needs a little help. Can't give them 5 stars bc you can't have a breakfast bagel without a good cup of coffee.

So, we really wanted to try this spot out, and one day we decided to grab lunch here along the way while running errands. First things first, they are takeout only right now. There's no indoor dining. Only one of the two employees inside was wearing a mask, which made me uncomfortable. Since this was our first time here, we just ordered their blueberry bagel with cream cheese and their everything bagel with egg, cheese, and bacon. We asked for both of these sandwiches to be toasted. The blueberry bagel wasn't flavorful, and their cream cheese spread was sour and salty. We didn't get the aroma of cream cheese that we're familiar with. The everything bagel had a lot of flavor, with garlic as the predominant flavor. The texture of the bagel was quite hard and chewy, though. But, the eggs, cheese, and bacon filling weren't very flavorful. I thought the eggs needed seasoning as well. Next time, I may order the plain, onion, or sesame bagel and ask that the filling be seasoned more with salt. Their menu is extensive. So, I may come back and try their lunch sandwiches and omelettes. I may also try coming earlier in the morning to get their bagels and food at their freshest. Unfortunately, we came here closer to when they were almost going to close up shop.

My wife and I stayed in a nearby hotel the night before and decided to forego the routine breakfast buffet of soggy eggs, wimpy bacon and DIY waffles. A quick Yelp search got use to Bagel Express. When we walked in we were surprised to see the Kenny and Ziggy Deli logo on the wall so this was nice as we both like their deli in the Galleria area. So we placed our order and that's when things went down hill. Miscommunication had to be the issue, either we weren't specific or he did not understand, but ordering 2 bagels and to coffees to dine in was a train wreck. Bagels were not sliced or toasted, no cream cheese. Thank goodness I like strait black coffee, my wife trying to get cream n sugar was a struggle. He either didn't care or didn't understand English - and I believe it was a combination of both. Since the bagels were bagged to-go - not dine in, we took the food and left. Later when we got home, we toasted our bagels and put our own cream cheese and they were good. I'd definitely go back, but now I'm a bit more educated on how to order there - wait for one of the more engaged servers to help get our order.

I was excited to check this place out. As my cousins raved about it, particularly the french toast.It was nice to see the variety of bagels they had and excellent choice of sandwiches. I just did not know what I wanted, but stuck with the original of the french toast, otherwise I would have regretted it.Of the 4 of us, 3 had french toast and 1 had a bagel. There were no complaints on the taste. They were very good.The disappointment was that the pics all reflect strawberries over the toast and just made it look that much better. Mind you the Menu description on the website does not say anything about a fruit, but shows the toast with strawberries.Upon arrival, the breakfast came in styrofoam with plastic ware. No butter was provided, so we had to ask. Then when we asked about the strawberries, we were told they had run out. We then asked about any other fruit availability - none. So I asked, ok, then what about a discount - no can do.Coffee was very good.It's a little deli and although it wasn't filled up with people, I can see where things can get tight.My 3-stars is based on the strawberries. We should have been told at the beginning. I know for sure one in our group may have taken another option. And it is likely, if we had strawberries as an option, we would have had to pay for it. Stronly recommend if you don't have something that is expected, put it up front for the customer to decide how they want to proceed.

Such a great family owned bagel shop! Friendly staff, classic diner feel, clean, and delicious food. Can't wait to come back, it's going to be difficult to not stop by every morning.
