They have beans and bagels but not much more. Terrible service. Door locked, so couldn't use seats. Average bagels at best.

Bean & Bagel is such a cute name for this cafe and it lives up to its name because that's all this cafe serves- coffee and bagels!With a multitude of different bagels, spreads, and toppings, the combinations are endless!I'm a classic lox and cream cheese type of girl and so that's my go-to order. Sometimes I'll order a coffee as well- they have a La Marazocco machine so you know the coffee is quality. I have had the Ursula sandwich before too, which was good, but not something I'd get on the regular basis. My favorite bagel is the whole wheat bagel, but the other bagels are good too.Bean & Bagel is very generous with the cream cheese, but they could be more generous with the toppings.Service can be slow depending on the time of day, but the longest I've waited is probably around 15 minutes.This is good place for catching up with a friend or for ordering to go since it is a very tight cafe with little seating area. Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for ambiance

Used to be one of my favorite places before they reopened. I think they have new management or something- the menu is totally different now, there's not really anything special about their bagels, and service is a bit disappointing :/

Great service, food, and drink!!! Highly recommend!!! Heard good things about these guys on npr, and was in the mood for a bagel with cream cheese. So I decided to give these folks a try. I forgot to ask for extra cream cheese, was willing to pay for the extra condiment, and they really took great care of me!!!

This place has changed a LOT....It used to be my favorite bagel shop, I would visit whenever going to the Udistrict. They would make the best salmon lox bagel with tons of toppings! But the past 3-4 times I've gone, my bagel is tiny with barely anything on it... I am not sure if it's new staff making them smaller without knowing, or just cutting costs, but either way $11 for basically no toppings is ridiculous. During this particular visit, I was told AFTER I paid that they didn't have any tomatoes, and the employee asked if I'd like lettuce instead, which was okay with me. But when I got home and opened it, it didn't have any lettuce and pretty much no onion or capers or anything. This is how they've been making them lately. Was it still tasty? Yes, but I would recommend going to Rubenstein on Cap Hill or SLU if you want literally the same lox bagel (order the "Double Down") that is twice the size as Bean & Bagel, and very generous on toppings.

As an east coast native, I've been on the hunt for a normal breakfast sandwich. The simple yet delicious sausage egg and cheddar bagel. And this was it. I'm so down for non traditional breakfast sandwiches, but sometimes you just want a classic. The service was great and the environment was so nice!

bagel was literally the best i've ever had- like, blessed by gods good. service was so tight. all the dudes were awesome and sooo funny. one of them did really cool yo-yo tricks while they waited for the bagel to toast! ambiance is chill. the moped really adds a lot to the vibe of the place and if you tip well enough, they even let you take it for a spin!

Extremely long wait times. Twice I saw people leave a 3 person long line while waiting to order because it took so long. It took 10 minutes for one person to get a latte, with no orders in front of them. That said, the bagels are okay. The egg and cheese sandwich has quite a lot of cheese though, but that's probably just personal preference. It was also barely toasted and cold inside.

They only had cinnamon raisin bagels. Then it wasn't toasted. And they're were four dudes working and no one said hi for a good 2 mins. And I was the only customer. Kinda weird. Just go to blazing.
