Star Bagel Cafe

It's grown on me. If you've been years ago, and were put off by the vibes, then it's worth another stop. Puttering around Sylvan Park, must stop. If you hear "New York Style bagels" and go into a momentary zombie-trance, go to Star Bagel. Get your bagel fix.

Star Bagel is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Nashville! It is cost friendly & full of healthy options. The locally owned business has everything you could want - from bagels & cream cheese to fresh focaccia sandwiches to coffee & smoothies! Everything I've tried has been delicious and it's one of my favorite spots to bring visitors & then walk the loop at McCabe golf course when the weather permits. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, which can fill up quick on a weekend! The patio is a great way to enjoy the weather if you can snag a seat

Great neighborhood bagel spot in Slyvan Park. We ordered online late in the afternoon and got the Spicy Mike and lox bagel with herb cream cheese to go. The bagels were fresh and soft with the perfect amount of chew. The toppings were also fresh with good portion sizes. We also ordered a muffin but they were out so they threw in several cookies at no added charge. The staff was friendly. We will definitely be back!

Sometimes it's the parking....and beyond.I've wanted to stop here and smell the roses (well, the aroma of hot dough and coffee) but have been dissuaded by the apparent paucity of parking. (Yes, big words for small spaces.)Today I figuratively bit the bullet and stopped anyhow, having first checked out approaches and parking spaces via Google Earth maps. That worked out fairly well. I got there and aimed for the empty Handicapped Parking space....only to discover as I pulled in that someone had tied their dog to the rail at that spot. (No pets allowed inside.) Fortunately for me there was an open space next to the "parked" and quiet pup. Phew!Atmosphere inside the building was lively....lots of chatter as patrons enjoyed their morning brews and bagels or waited patiently for their orders to be delivered. Judging by the crowd, I thought I might have a bit of a wait....but, in fact, I was promptly and politely asked for my order at the counter. And equally as promptly.... was handed the first part of it consisting of 6 bagels to go. I also was given an empty cup for my coffee. (Serve yourself if it's straight up brew from the array of pump-pots with Regular, Decaf, and flavored options.). The coffee was surpisingly fresh and very hot! And the flavor was a delightful treat - one of the tastiest House Blends I've had in quite a while. My Sante Fe Bagel sandwich was delivered only a few minutes later and I carried it to the car. The steaming sandwich was bigger than I anticipated.... nice since I was pretty hungry. So, I opened the tightly wrapped breakfast bonanza and attempted to take my first bite. [To paraphrase a line from the movie "Jaws"...."I should have brought a bigger mouth"....because, in an instant, the very thick (an inch+ maybe) egg-pepper frittata slid from between the slippery turkey sausage patty and the ooey gooey melted cheese lining for the bagel onto my lap. I must have had a premonition before starting on this misadventure because after sitting down in the car, I placed a large cloth hand towel across my lap and that, in turn, caught the entire avalanche before it hit my clothes or the floor of the car. Disaster more or less averted. Thank goodness I still had half the sandwich left.Taste: Excellent! Fluffy-flavored egg with bits of crunch from the peppers on a lightly toasted bun. Will I return....? In all honesty, unless I can find an alternative to the parking situation....I doubt it. BUT YOU SHOULD .... just aim for the Star. Open wide. And enjoy!

I've been coming here for a long time and I've watched it gain popularity over the years to almost an overwhelming degree. There is always a rush but if you time it right you can find parking in the lot out front or usually street parking across the street near the park. No matter how busy they get they always have time for friendly service and a smile at the register. I never feel rushed or like I'm inconveniencing anyone , as one tends to feel at hipster coffee shops. This is more of a beloved Nashville jewel. It still has the old Nashville feel. There is limited seating but there are patio tables outside . Or you can get your food to go and go to the park. I really like the breakfast bagels, and the iced coffee. They have delicious bakery items as well. I never make it to the lunch menu because I'm a breakfast all day kind of person. But I hear it's really good. Overall you can find something pretty healthy , fairly quick, and super delicious while supporting small businesses here in Nashville.

Nice small local spot in the heart of Sylvan Park. Tasty breakfast bagel with egg, cheese, and Turkey sausage. Long line on a Sunday morning and packed house, making it a little disorganized and crowded to get around. Only 3 menus floating around so made it difficult to know what you're getting if you're a first timer. Nice & patient staff as we had to wait till the front to get a menu and choose. Lots of pickup orders coming in and out, definitely a loved spot.

Great food - local favorite! We live nearby and appreciate this place. The service is always courteous and friendly and we enjoy the bagels! My favorite is the Early Bird Special - available anytime.

Good food, great place to take a quick work call. Super quick and friendly! You can have your own space but still hang with the neighbors. :)

This place stays busy and for good reason. Their food is delicious and affordable. One of my favorites is simply buttered foccacia, but the Starz classic sandwich is also great. And the mocha muffin is superb!! There is limited indoor seating and maybe 4 patio tables. Not a ton of parking, but many costumers take their food to go.

Food was okay. Think there are other better bagel options. Did enjoy their seasonal pumpkin coffee. Service was okay, coffees took a lot longer than sandwiches and did notice the personal behind the counter move the garbage can with her gloves on and then make someone's bagel without changing her gloves. Indoor and outdoor seating options but not many. Traffic on the street is typically busy and loud.
