Lou C. "Let there be a bagel shop. Here comes New York Deli. I stopped by after a Passover breakfast meeting at my friend's house. I saw a long line at the parking lot next to the Neighborhood Walking. I couldn't resist to wait like everyone else. Yes, the bagels are a little pricey. But I couldn't find freshly baked bagels in Houston. Nice to see one within reach. While waiting in line, I glanced over at an open door, "Ah a coffee shop". According to an employee, that's a full-service restaurant. He recommended that I swing by one day. Yeah, if I didn't have breakfast,Bagels are decent. I only intended to eat half while driving home. But because they tasted so good, I ate just about everything I bought. Oops. Until then."

Evelyn L. "I love bagels but it's tough finding a place that does bagels right in houston. Ive passed this place a couple times now and I figured I would give it a shot. This was hands down the best bagel I've had outside of New York. I got the bacon, egg & cheese with the everything bagel and it was so delicious. So glad I stopped by. The service was very kind and fast. Can't wait to bring my family here!"

Vibe- This was my first time at this bagel shop and it was PACKED! I can see it's a popular bagel shop in Houston. There's some seating available inside and there's two tables outside. Customer service- Good.Food/drinks- I got a cinnamon raisin bagel with honey walnut spread: it was yummy!Parking- Honestly the parking was stressful, it's a very tight space. If possible, I would park somewhere and walk over.

Corned beef hash with two eggs over easy. Eggs good. hash had burned taste. Service in store at lunch -slow, they are under staffed. Delivery by "favor" at 7am fast and accurate .

Call me nostalgic and call me for breakfast because this spot in Katy Texas will transport you to New York City! I remembered talking to the owner last year and he told me the rainbow cookies are shipped straight from New York City and he is also a transplant here in Texas. The bagels are chewy, moist and flavorful and the cream cheese is, perfectly salty, creamy and smooth. The fresh squeeze orange juice is always right on and hits the spot. I recommend checking the chalkboard next to the register for the daily special and if you're so inclined, they offer smoothies here as well. They feature cats, drip coffee, and have Coffee creamer and fountain sodas to drink. The bathroom is spacious and always clean and I recommend hitting up the spot if you're in the area for breakfast anytime! Five stars and I have been returning for years.

Final made it to Bagel Bob's a couple of days ago. I'd been reading and hearing about how good Bagel Bob's bagels were, but we live in Spring Valley, and I always picked up breakfast "breads" from Shipley or Kolache Factory as they were much closer. So, when passed Bagel Bob's Thursday morning I decided to give them a try. Having lived in Sugar Land until about 18 years ago I was BIG Bagel Express fan and thought I could find no better, but Bob proved me wrong. dBought a variety of what's offered, Jalapeno Cheese, Everything, Cinnamon, Rye, and plain. The Jalapeno Cheese were OUTSTANDING, four jalapeno slices on thick bagel with cheese baked into the top of the bagel. I eat very spicy foods and I wasn't expecting Bob's Jalapeno to be spicy, but it was, it had a nice little kick to it, just enough to satisfy the heat lovers and the faint hearted as well. The other bagels were excellent; my second favorite was the Everything. As well as have fantastic flavor they had the perfect texture.A trip to Bob's is worth the drive. Meeting and visiting with Bob you'll quickly learn the passion that he puts into his "masterpieces". To put it mildly, he's a character and you'll enjoy meeting him.

Nice, quaint cafe. Great variety of bagels and spread. I felt like the options were very creative and would love to try it all. Tea was 1000F and no joke took about 45 min until I could drink. The water was HOT

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.

We tried Simply Greek for the first time tonight and the line was out the door. We got the grilled chicken platter and the Dionysus bacon & chicken pita. It was absolutely delicious and reasonablh priced! It reminded us of our authentic meals in Athens, Greece

Kristy S. "Came on Labor Day and glad they were open on this holiday. Cute small place. I enjoyed my lox bagel on jalapeño bagel with a latte and my daughter had the sesame bagel with strawberry cream cheese. The bagel is not overly thick or bready. It's light and flavorful. I inhaled my sandwich. They did run out of blueberry bagel when I came at 10:30am. Nice staff too."

Christine H. "So ..... I forgot to put the bakers in the oven... so Gyros it is! Manny's in Copperfield has been closed for a while so we decided to try Simple Greek gyros in Cypress off Telge Rd. Which is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT!Terry, the new owner, greeted me with a smile as I walked in. Looking around at his quaint little shop, it was hard not to smile. It was beautiful and clean. At the front there was a chalk board you could sign/doodle on. On the left side there was a small 5 table seating area, with what looked to be huge seaside silk like painting. The restrooms were in the back. On the right wall there was another huge silk like painting of a Greek column. The kitchen area was small and clean. For dinner we chose the traditional Zeus gyros, a blend of lamb/beef, lightly seasoned, lettuce, tomato, red onion and homemade tzatziki sauce, although there are a few others to choose from. We also got a Zeus gyro platter, that included a salad and side. The Greek salad we chose had romaine lettuce, fresh feta, Kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions topped with a little dolmade. The vinaigrette dressing was lite and flavorful. We chose the fries topped with fresh feta cheese and oregano, Greek style, as our side. I couldn't pass up the hummus, as it was also fresh made and delicious! Next time, I'm going to have to remember to get some baklava for MrM! As we chatted while our Togo order was made, I discovered Terry not only knows Manny but is long time friends with him! Not hard to believe after eating dinner. Although Terry took over about two months, the menu online, and even the sign above the entrance, have NOT been updated. They NO LONGER SERVE BURGERS, PIZZA, HOTDOGS OR WINGS. Now, it's SIMPLY GREEK food. They do have a pita grilled cheese and chicken fingers, served with fries, on the kids menu."

Moira B. "Stopped in here randomly one morning because I had some time to kill and was pleasantly surprised by the bagel sandwich I had. I got the BLT avocado sandwich on an everything bagel. It was HOT and fresh. The bagel was actually really good (which I think is hard to come by in Houston) and the BLT/avocado toppings did not feel nearly as heavy as your typical bacon egg and cheese.The service was good. And the place is so cute with comfy chairs to sit while you wait as well as 4 person tables and two bar style seating areas. Perfect for eating alone, with a friend, or even a small group! If you need a quick breakfast in midtown, check this place out!"

Heather M. "I moved to TX from New England (primarily MA & CT) so I spent plenty of time eating the superior masterpieces that are NY bagels. I thought I'd be giving them up moving here, but NOPE! This place is the real deal. I have them on my list to visit the actual shop, but this past weekend, I had a nice surprise of meeting them at the Baybrook Farmer's Market. I took home a bunch of everything bagels and the scallion cream cheese; and they beckoned to me the whole way home! The smell was incredible, and the taste even better. I'm looking very forward to writing an updated review after I visit the shop itself. Thank you guys for moving to TX! You've made this southern Yankee very happy!"

Jooy C. "A bit overpriced but cool cafe space and nice service! I just realized that this business was originally Brazos Bagels - I had heard about the hype online and them selling out at soft opening. I have been wanting to try since, though it looks like there have been some rebranding. Ordered the smoked salmon bagel and breakfast bagel. The cream cheese was a bit too much for me so I'm not sold on the entrees yet. The space is nice and I plan to visit on a day I want to get some work done or grab a casual breakfast!"
