Bagel Cafe 21

I was looking for a new bagel place to try and went in on a Sunday morning around 11am. There was about 7 people and not too busy, this shop is small though so it felt kinda packed. My sister and I both ordered and had our order in about 5 mins. The service was friendly and fast, not sure what it's like earlier in the morning. I ordered the protein plus bagel which was turkey, egg, cheese and an avocado spread. I choose a jalapeño cheddar bagel and it was very delicious. I also got a small hazelnut coffee. My sister tried the Salmon sliced and cream cheese on a plain bagel with a horchata. Both bagels were stuffed, we couldn't wait to try them and ate in the car. I was only able to finish half and it was very delicious. Will be back to try the other bagels.

Good food, service is slow if you go in the morning, very small place and lots of Customers. Been here twice and it is consistently good.

I got a chicken salad asiago bagel sandwich and it was really good!! The ingredients used were really fresh and you can really tell that the bagels are made in-house. The service was really respectful and greeted me as soon as I walked in, and gave me some time to look at the menu before I ordered (it was my first time there). The shop is pretty small with only a few tables, which can make it a nice place to stop by for a quick brunch/lunch if that's what you're looking for (keep in mind that the place is only open until 1:30 during the week however). It's also pretty close to UTD, so if you're a UTD student looking for a good quick lunch place off-campus i'd definitely recommend!!!

Bagel Cage 21 is still my favorite local haunt for getting my bagel fix. I especially love their beautiful, bright rainbow bagels that they only make and serve on the weekends. The downside is that the weekends are extremely busy here and the available space to stand in line or wait for your order, or even to sit down and eat is extremely limited. There are a few tables and chairs inside and out, but the majority of customers take their orders to go. The staff and customers are always very polite here. Prices are a bit steep, but everything is these days. My bagel with sausage, egg, cheese and cream cheese was about $11, and my husband's salmon and lox on an everything bagel was about $12. We didn't get drinks, but they have a fridge at the front of the store that makes it easy to grab a soda or OJ to go. You can also order coffee or other beverages from the counter when you place your order. I wish these guys would consider expanding to a new space or maybe buy out the Jersey Subs next door so that they could offer their customers more room.

Lox Bagel, Tuna Salad Sandwich, HasherThese bagels are excellent! I was particularly impressed with the lox on everything bagel--probably one of my favorites in town! The Tuna salad on rosemary salt was just alright, a little bland. The Hasher was decent, but a little too heavy and salty in the end. I would just stick to the lox here!

I stumbled upon Bagel Cafe 21 in the morning while exploring the area. Craving my usual morning coffee, I hoped to find a cozy spot. The cafe's interior is small, with just a few tables, but there are a couple more outside. If the Texas heat cooperates, sitting outdoors would be delightful.I opted for a bagel, my go-to choice being wheat or multigrain. Unfortunately, they were out of those options, so I settled for a plain bagel. The bagel was fresh and toasty, although not as chewy and moist as the ones I usually have. The cream cheese selection was great, featuring typical options as well as savory choices like veggie, garlic, and herbs. I particularly liked the creamy and nutty honey pecan flavor, and the portion size was generous.The friendly staff patiently introduced me to their menu since it was my first visit. I'll definitely return to try other bagels and drinks!

Had the Lonestar on an Everything Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese. It tasted pretty good but honestly it wasn't super memorable. The bagel had a good crust but it was pretty dense. I'll rank it as solid but certainly there are better bagels out there too. Wouldn't mind making this my go to spot if I lived closer.

This place has delicious bagels. They offer vegan cream cheese and you can add veggies to make a vegan sandwich...yumm!! The staff is so nice and welcoming and the service is fast. It's a a simple small store that feels like your neighborhood bagel place to go!

Love this place! I order their pistachio muffins and they are delicious when i warm them. I recommend getting their lox sandwhiches with jalapeño cream cheese and an English muffin. I always order before I head to my 9 to 5.
