The Best Bagels in Phoenix

Gold Brew Coffee Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (243) • $

"They have specialty lattes, seasonal ones too, smoothies, lemonades, tamales, breakfast sandwiches, gelato cookie sandwiches, and baked goods. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was extremely friendly and nice!We enjoyed the Blueberry Basil Lemonade the most. The Green Chicken Chile tamale was great. The Pistachio Latte definitely needed more pistachio. The Chicken Chipotle tamale was good but needed more chipotle."

Stoop Kid

"The only real downside to this place is the downtown parking situation. Their bagels are fantastic, and they have one of the best rosters of schmears anywhere around. I like their service and their vibe. It's always friendly and pretty quick, and everything is super tasty. The red pepper schmear is my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. For those who don't think a bagel is filling enough, they have sandwiches with more involved ingredients."

Hava Java

★★★★☆ 4.2 (260)

"Hadn't stopped into Hava Javae in ages! But had just gotten a blowout at Drybar just next door and had to walk away with a coffee. They have an extensive menu and they're happy to really adapt to make you anything you want. I was greeted by both individuals in there and was quite chipper about it.On the left side of the pictured menu (which I will take A pic of next time) there seemed to be some specialty drinks, and as I was on a Zoom celebrating Hispanic Heritage month, I opted for a Mexican Mocha (which she let me know they add chocolate, cinnamon, and milk of choice to) with oatmilk. I noticed the oat milk is $1 more as opposed to the .75 for almond, soy, coconut alternatives. She said "it's a hot commodity these days" - she wasn't lying. Nonetheless, I grabbed a medium and it was a large plastic cup. The large is extra large, and the small still looks pretty sizable compared to other well known coffee spots... I always ask for light ice because I don't like my cup to be filled with ice more than coffee, and she was glad to do that, and asked for a smaller pump of chocolate, so as to watch my sugars. She made it quickly, and it was definitely yum. Wasn't the best Mexican mocha I've had but the cinnamon was wonderful. I couldn't tell you what was missing, don't get me wrong, it was definitely delicious but I was ok. It was so delicious in fact that I ordered another with an extra shot and half sweet for my friend as a surprise and she LOVED it. She said it was perfect and was absolutely going to wake her up.The service and coffee were tasty. And I heard a woman rant about how it was one of the first coffee shops open in Phoenix! So there is a long standing history with the place. Come try a cup, and try the Mexican mocha and let me know what you think!"

Hi Hi Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (166) • $

"Random stop here on MLK day. Tried two donuts and enjoyed them both. The Blueberry cake was dense and had good flavor. The buttermilk glazed was dense too and had great flavor. So far, my favorite in the area."

Dj's Bagel Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (353)

"Delicious coffee. The bagels are always so fresh. The staff is patient, there are a lot of choices..... today I got the breakfast bagel with bacon (you can get ham, Canadian bacon, fried bologna, omg the list is so long, basically whatever you'd want on a breakfast bagel they got it! We also got a Happy Wrap- turkey and avocado. It was ok (lots of avocado) I love avocado but it was a little too much The cannoli was soooo good. Oh and the Greek pasta salad. It came with a small side.... It was THE BEST! I actually went back in and got a 1lb container to take with me to work. Outside and indoor seating."

Bagel Gourmet

★★★★☆ 4.1 (187) • $

"I'm conflicted on this spot. They offer lots of different bagel options and prices are on par. I ordered a nova lox sandwich and a few plain bagels with cream cheese. The sandwich was good as were the plain bagels. While I was sitting waiting for my order there was 2 guys that came in and one was using his phone camera as a magnifying glass to see the menu. There was a man, I assume the owner who came from the back asking pretty rudely to the guy why he had his phone out and what is he recording? The guy let him know and he just kinda scoffed like he didn't believe him and walked away. As a small business owner I recommend taking a different approach next time you run into this situation. That interaction although not towards me left a sour taste in my mouth and if he's like that to customers I hope he treats his employees way better."

Hot Bagels and Deli

★★★★☆ 4.1 (379) • $

"I order pick up from here regularly and it's always good, my orders are correct, and they're ready when I get there. Awesome cream cheeses, and expansive selection of bagels and cream cheeses. I just wish they would have iced coffee or a few more drinks but otherwise, highly recommend."

Back East Bagels

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (339)

"I want to ensure that the beautiful ladies Athena, Sam, and I cannot remember the third lady's name, but they are all so sweet and lovely, and they get noticed for being so extraordinary. Every time I come here, they welcome me with a smile. I feel these ladies work very hard and have excellent customer service when these ladies are working. I was here a few days ago and a gentleman made me the WORST smoothie I have ever had. He made me a cup of cold soup it felt. These ladies ALWAYS make me a great smoothie. I also go because they all have beautiful smiles. :) Thank you, ladies, for making my experience amazing. I will keep coming back. (not if the guy is making smoothies!!!). I tell you all this, I went back and the gentleman offered to make it right. I was very impressed with that. These people are so nice and I love it here. The ladies are amazing!!"

Hot Bagels & Deli # 1

★★★★☆ 4.1 (145) • $

"Such a great stop. We came early for some breakfast bagels and they did not disappoint. I opted for an everything bagel with hang egg and cheese. Everything oh was cooked perfectly and it was so good. Service was wonderful and very kind. Prices are great. The location has both inside and outside seating if you'd like to stay and eat. It is clean and plenty of great morning sunshine coming in from the windows."

Bagel Daddies

★★★★☆ 3.5 (2)

"We tried bagel daddies at the Saturday Uptown market and it was amazing!! There was a line but it moved quickly. Staff was very friendly.They had about 5-6 different bagels to pick from. We tried the everything bagel with elote cream cheese. I was hesitant to try that cream cheese flavor but I'm so glad we did! It was flavorful without being overpowering and very unique. They also had a few bagel sandwich options to pick from including a breakfast sandwich with eggs or a veggie one. Definitely the best bagel I've had recently. Can't wait to try more!!!"

Bongiorno Bagels

★★★★★ 4.6 (516) • $

"I enjoyed Bongiorno Bagels a hole lot! These bagels are legit. I visited on a Saturday morning and not surprisingly, the store was packed. I made several attempts to place an order over the phone on my way to the store but their line busy. The line as well as the staff moved pretty quickly. Their team was friendly and thorough.I've tried their egg and cheese sandwich on a gluten-free bagel as well as a few non-gluten-free bagels. Though having a gluten-free option is fantastic, I very much prefer their traditional bagels. The everything, cinnamon raisin, and jalapeño cheddar were among the bagels I've tried. All three were excellent and paired well with their cream cheese! I will definitely be back."

Kokobelli Bagel Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (405) • $

"Saw this place on Instagram had to go visit!Extremely cute and quaint local owned shop.So many options of bagel, spreads, and sandwiches.My wife got the cinnamon raisin bagel with butter and cinnamon sugar. I tried the French Toast Bagel. Highly recommend trying absolutely delicious."

Bagelfeld's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (225) • $$

"Yes! Yes! Yes!After seeing their signs over the past few months, today, due to The Place that rhymes with FineSpines, not having Lox anymore- I've finally stopped in. What a beautiful experience! The cashier was super sweet, the girl who gave me my bagel was kind as well! I'm a believer! I'll never go back to the other place! My bagel and lox was delicious and totally hit the spot!! Thanks for coming to central phoenix!!!"

Hot Bagels & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.6 (175)

"New York sort of air! How should you pass the time? If you were a New Yorker you would be in a cafe some where with your feet drying out from the heaters that are under the table clenching that cup of coffee waiting for it's aromas to sink way down. Arizona is far from New York, here is the next best thing. Bagels, meats, cheeses, bacon, and a beverage. You know this is gonna be good! This little bakery is located right next to a cupcake shop. Yes, and I'm just wandering in now. Better to arrive eventually than not at all. The smells from this shop will give you fever all the way to your core. The best of New York cafe living right here in Sun City Az. No rain and no frost it's all sun and shine in the valley of the sun. The golf is on after a sensational breakfast. They are open early for all those risers that need the goods to start the day off. Bagels and bagels galore. How do you want that pastrami and Swiss or your egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich; they all have one thing in common: they all are served on a bagel. Many times we have visited here. You get some real good food. The food memories bring back times when I visited New York. Their version of a "big breakfast," will quench even a growing teenagers tastes and leave them full. The bacon, what's not to love. The eggs n bacon meal has home cooked potatoes that were always perfect paired with your choice of bagel. What's not to love?It's supporting local that matters. Here in the Sun City area so many big chains are around. This bakery is a proud badge to the community in a sea of corporate world all around, but still the little place is around. Spread the word and always support local. It's Sunday and the early is how we do it! As we live these days, sleep is a fluke and we seem to need less and less of it. Maybe it's stress or all that coffee. Now that's it's morning, it's time for some coffee. It's a beautiful morning. As I sit here and sip the coffee the sun cracks and plays peek a boo from beyond the clouds. As the rays of sunshine dance and spread their radiance the coffee is taking effect. The chef from behind the counter is calling out my breakfast number. It's a help yourself sort of way here for basic coffee. Sometimes all you need is the simple, with that better way of eating in the morning. Especially Sunday morning. The aroma from my food hits my nasal passage way and inside I'm screaming grab that fork. The bacon just beacons for me to eat. Let's go I cannot wait anymore. If yours a type of individual that seeks great deliciousness in home down cooked food, look no further. That New Yorker welcome is here just for you. Bagels galore. How do you pastrami or egg it? On a bagel of course. Perhaps sourdough. The best of heaven wrapped up all the way from the shores of the east coast to the west coast ! Now let's get our breakfast on! It's our connection to food that brings so much happiness to all so enjoy simplicity with a bagel of your choice."

New York Bagels 'N Bialys - Shea

★★★★☆ 3.9 (562) • $$

"After a recent breakfast with girlfriends at this NYBNB location, I figure it's time for a quick update from my last review which was written over a decade ago!This place has weathered the years and the pandemic but stayed consistent with delivering fabulous bagels and bialys as well as solid deli options.Service is attentive, prices are reasonable, and quality is high. On my recent visit, I had a delicious omelette made to order, a bialy and cream cheese, and some sliced tomatoes. Hot sauce was brought upon request.If you're seeking a laid back dining experience with something on the menu for everyone, or are thinking of ordering food to go, this is a solid option!"

K-May Donuts and Bagels

★★★★☆ 4.4 (98)

"K-May's are well proofed yeast donuts. Yeast donuts are so incredibly light and airy. They have to be held lightly as to not be crushed in ones hand. Cake donuts are more diminutive in size, while being much more substantial in weight. Those eat more like a meal. Their is a gentle crispness to the outside of the donuts. Donuts are sweet yet still a little bready. Many different flavors and flavor combinations to choose from.More than just donuts. K-May's makes breakfast sandwiches, sausage rolls, and various house-made drinks."

The Nosh Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (468) • $$

"This was a quaint little bagel stop- nothing fancy, but they did have friendly service, hot food, all the breakfast staples, and plenty of seating both inside and outside on the patio. Slightly expensive for what you get as the bagels didn't stand out to necessarily justify the costs above an Einsteins per se, as my egg/cheese bagel ($10+) was rather dry and I likely wouldn't get that again. The cafe did stay rather busy and seemingly is a favorite amongst locals."

Sidewalk Coffee and Bagel

★★★★☆ 3.6 (135)

"I'm always on the lookout for places that offer Gluten-Free options. I went to Sidewalk Coffee on a Saturday morning. There were a couple open tables. The staff was very nice and I like the ambiance. My daughter has a GF cookie and Strawberry Foam Mocha drink. My wife had an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. I had a plain bagel with egg, cheese and taylor ham. I'm a bagel snob since I'm originally from NY/NJ. The bagels were ok. My wife and daughter loved their drinks. I will be going back for sure since it's a nice local spot for me to spend time with my daughter."

New York Bagels N' Bialys - SkySong

★★★★☆ 3.8 (333) • $$

"My bagel was good. I got the lax on a salt bagel with chive cream cheese. I love salt bagels and this bagel was overly salty. But it was good for the most part. My service though was horrible. No one was rude but it was fairly empty 10:30am on a Friday morning. They brought me the wrong order first. Simple mistake you can fix it. Then they bring me my order. Looks good. I have never been there, so I don't know how the food comes out. They also brought me my latte which was a little on the sweet side but good. Then I don't get any napkins and my meal was pretty messy.They then bring me another latte I didn't order.Then they bring my check and try to charge me 18.00 for a bagel saying I ordered it a certain way I did not order it.It was really frustrating to have service messed up over and over for a $23.00 breakfast."

Chompie's Restaurant, Deli, and Bakery

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (329) • $$

"Wow, you really need an appetite or a doggie bag! Portions are huge! I had the protein pancakes and they were delicious! I'm looking forward to my leftovers tomorrow morning!Service was great. If you come here on the weekend like we did, expect to wait until a table opens up. There are a lot of tables inside and an outside patio area too."

Oasis Bagels

★★★★☆ 4.1 (253) • $

"Local Goodyear bagels. The staff are super friendly and funny. Great selection of huge and I mean huge bagels with all sort of spreads from butter to full deal of egg and bacon. Small inside but a great atmosphere. Outdoor seating too. Plus getting bagels to go as is a great deal. Check out Oasis Bagels!"

New York Bagels N Bialys - Pima

★★★★☆ 3.6 (94) • $$

"I needed some breakfast and ordered an Everything bagel w/egg. Their bagels were on par with New York bagels with a nice chewy inside. Service was pleasant. On my way out I got a pull apart roll to take to my neighbors who are so nice. I find it sweet that they have a dog menu too. Large parking area and Cox WiFi for subscribers."

Hot Bagels & Deli

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (209) • $

"Fast service, food cooked as ordered. Staff was fine, no bad attitudes. Place was busy seems like a lot of locals really love the place. Breakfast bagel sandwich was delicious!"

Cabin Coffee Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (357) • $

"Adorable spot! It truly does feel like you're in a little cabin as soon as you walk in here. I ordered in advance and got a meriter tea and the brown bear latte for my husband with extra espresso, which was a caramel mocha. Barista was very sweet and had my drinks ready to go right on time! I hate to say it but I just didn't like my tea at all. It just tasted really fake and syrupy. Felt like it kinda left a film in my mouth which was unpleasant. I ended up throwing it away. My husband liked his latte though! Would definitely just get something different next time!"

Arizona bagels n bialys

★★★★★ 4.8 (202) • $

"Stopped in for an early weekday breakfast. Had lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel. Place has indoor and outdoor seating, good selection of bagels and the coffee is hot. Bagel and lox were perfect! I can see why all the 5 star ratings. This will be one of my east side stops. I like the friendly atmosphere and the food."

New York Bagels N Bialys - Cactus

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (62)

"Wow , this place is good !!!! Everything was on point . They have an amazing selection of à la cart items from capers, to extra tomatoes, onions, you name it we got the bagel and lox, added cucumber, and it was spectacular, they even have a separate pup menu for your dog and I have to say I think that is just so cool our dog Birdie was in heaven check out this local new spot.."

NYC Bagels and Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (137)

"There was a Santa there this morning lmaoGood bagels. Price very reasonable for breakfast sandwich"

Hot Bagels & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (500) • $

"Saturday 11 am. Good: Fast and friendly service. Good bagel selection and sandwiches and Good prices. Flavor was ok. Excellent coffee prices Chicago vibe style but with better parking space. Also outside sitting option. Accesible access to the plaza. Not so good: Small place with no public bathroom or sink to wash your hands. Limited coffee selection and no iced coffee. Overall good place, we will come back."

Bagel Nosh

★★★★☆ 3.8 (354) • $

"Stopped in on a Sunday morning with my husband for some breakfast! Bagel Nosh was a happening place! There were only a couple of tables open just before 10am. The menu is extensive and there are a lot of choices. We both had the AZ classic breakfast sandwich - a toasted bagel, egg, cheese, and meat. I had the jalapeño cheddar bagel with bacon. It was delicious! The bagel was hot and quite large. I couldn't finish the sandwich, I had maybe one or two more bites of my second half. My only complaint is that my bagel was hot, but didn't feel like it was toasted. More like microwaved because it was hot but soft. Next time I'll ask for double toasted :) My husband had the cheese bagel with bacon as well. He really enjoyed it. Our food was ready in about 10 minutes, they call your name, and you go up to the counter to get it. We would definitely come back in the future!"

The Bagel Man

★★★★★ 4.6 (902) • $

"Came here at around 8:45 on a Friday (last day of my fall break!) and they were nearly sold out! Like less than 10 bagels left I think! Service was great and super fast. It's just a small place so good to get to go! I got a salt bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese. I will say it is not the prettiest bagel I've seen in my life, but wow it was very very delicious! Good amount of salt, cream cheese had the perfect amount of veggie. Nice and fluffy, would definitely come back!"
