Bagel Bar East

Visited Bagel Bar for brunch with the family. It was a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was nice. The food is hit or miss. The Reuben sandwich is large and delicious. I truly enjoyed it. My son had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was dry, and Waffles was good, My daughters had different omelettes. They were bland, and the egg had no flavor at all. One of them had the French toast, which was really good. The lady that took our orders was not that friendly and in a rush to move to the next table or whatever she needed to do next. Overall, it was not a bad experience, not that a great one either. But it was indeed a good brunch experience with the family.

Respect the schmear! If you’re looking for a New York-style bagel experience, this place is it! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is straight out of a classic NYC bagel shop—bustling, welcoming, and filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bagels. The bagels themselves are perfection: crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and packed with that signature flavor that’s so hard to find outside of New York. My favorite by far is the everything bagel with lox spread—it’s rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Whether you’re a bagel purist or love trying different toppings, you won’t be disappointed. This is as close as you’ll get to a true New York bagel without hopping on a plane!

This establishment is truly exceptional. From the outstanding staff to the quality of the food and overall service, every aspect is consistently impressive. The menu offers a wide variety of options to satisfy any craving—whether it's the perfectly prepared tuna, flavorful eggs, crispy potatoes, or the comforting soup, each item is delicious and thoughtfully made. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a pleasure to dine here. I always enjoy my visits and truly consider this the best deli I’ve ever been to. Excellent work all around!

Celebrated my birthday at Bagel Bar East and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, the owner's warm welcome set the tone for a memorable experience. The attentive service and cozy ambiance made us feel right at home. The breakfast spread was phenomenal, offering a variety of delicious options to indulge in. The everything bagel was perfectly toasted and generously topped, while the oatmeal was hearty and comforting. The waffle was a delightful combination of crispiness on the outside and fluffy goodness on the inside, accompanied by a selection of toppings that added bursts of flavor with every bite. And let's not forget about the omelet – cooked to perfection with a fluffy texture and filled with an array of savory ingredients.

I’ll let the food photos do the talking. Worst bagel experience (worst food experience?) of my life. We ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese and an Asiago bagel sandwich with tomatoes. The everything bagel had everything BUT…it has 3 seeds and nothing else. The sandwich was missing the tomatoes and tasted stale and slimy at the same time. Terrible.

I love this little spot, which makes me feel like I'm right back in New York / New Jersey. That's the Nova platter in the picture. My go-to breakfast usual. Yummy 😋 everything else they make is fire as well. The bagels are like right from New York City delicious. I have been coming to this place for years. I love it. You should come by and try it out.

Great service, and good menu. It’s one of the very few bagel place in north Miami so you have to be ready to look for a parking spot. They get very busy in the morning, so parking is a challenge. Their service is awesome though so it makes it worthy!

The Place and atmosphere are awesome; staff is so kind and efficient, and the food is incredible! Price are also impressive. Great food quality for a descent amount of money. Will definitely be back!

Clean atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent food. The staff does an outstanding job keeping the outside area--tables with a covering--clean and available for new guests. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but turnover is pretty quick.

Bagel bar looked good from afar but it was far from good, more like mediocre. I sat at the bar and ordered a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese and it came out untoasted and not even sliced. That was annoying, but the server fixed it. Things really did not improve from there. The bagel was bland and tough. Not a fan.

This place is solid. Good lox, but okay bagel. They're put together a nice group platter for events

As usual best breakfast ever!!! Service wonderful, ambience really nice!!! It's like having breakfast with the family! Gaby is a great lady , she was sweet enough to give my husband a cookie for my husband's birthday!

Bagel Bar East brings you back to the bagel joints up north with their decor, service, and amazing bagels. Servings are large. Bagels are perfect. You see neighborhood regulars. Even though I was happily full I also purchased a package of mini black and white cookies to take home. Yummy!

Best Pastrami sandwich ever!! Great service too Tea is also fresh brewed Strongly recommended

Our lunch here took nearly 3 hours due to slow service. We needed to ask for our dishes multiple times and remind them what we ordered. The vibe was nice and food was good, though.

Great food. The service is very friendly . Clean and with big windows so it's very bright bright. Love it for brunch or lunch.

Strike 3 . This time I had The Eggs Benedict with a stale muffin, a boiled egg , tasteless ham and then drowned in some disgusting sauce. Overpriced for the cheap ingredients used. The stars are for the Service which was friendly and professional.

Orders half dozen bagels at 7 Sunday morning, expecting hot fresh bagels and got day old stale bagels. Thankfully Uber eats refunded. Nicely and as a courtesy I called the place to tell them they had stale egg and plain bagels. The lady was nice enough and I told her I didn't want anything. Later I got calls from a No Caller ID, and finally after multiple calls I answered and a guy was saying he gave me fresh bagels, which is really funny but also little creepy. I am sure it was an accident, but being from NY I know a bagel quite well and these were only toastable , too stale to eat fresh, which is what I thought I would get at 730am on a Sunday. Update 10/14/24- this guy at the bagel place has now called me 10 times since yesterday all to tell me he sold me fresh bagels, which he didn't. This was not a big deal until this harassment. Further contact and I will be engaging law enforcement.

I love bagel bar! The best Jewish deli in Miami, their bagels and pastrami sandwiches are amazing. The service is very good too, portions are huge. Their bakery goodies are all freshly baked and delicious.

Came here on a Saturday morning and the place was BUMPING. Bagel Bar East has dine in or takeout options - we opted to get in line for takeout. The menu is vast and has many breakfast options (which is what we were looking for). The bagels are very tasty - my only complaint has to be that I ordered a whole wheat everything bagel and was dismayed to find that when I got home, I received a whole wheat bagel only. * womp womp * The corned beef hash was good as well. The schmears are the way to go though in my opinion - the large containers in the cold case are a testament to how popular they are. Whether you get the plain or a flavored kind, the texture is smooth and flavors are on point. I love how there are cases of sweets, cookies, and a mini-market of sorts around the take-out area. The order took about 20 minutes, which was impressive given how busy the restaurant was.

I ordered a bagel with nova cream cheese. I had to keep spitting out terrible tasting things in it, then a big worm like thing came out which I told myself was an unknown object like a tube of paper, but I knew it wasn't. Anyway, I started feeling sick and ended up in the bathroom getting rid of whatever made me sick. Be careful what you choose to eat there. The bagels are good tho.

It is sad that if you do not train your staff correctly they can destroy your business. Yesterday I went for breakfast and I ask for a side of Pastrami , when I received the bill they charged me 18$ , insane , the new server want to maximize my bill for better tips but in reality he made me to think twice to go back to this place . I have been in this place for years but sometimes I need to write things when service is not good for the owner . I hope the owner read it and teach this thug how to be honest and fair with guest . Next time I will not order anything as a side dish because I'm afraid to get screwed.

Had a wonderful breakfast here last week. A veggie omelet with a bagel. The service was great and genuine. Everyone at this establishment is super nice. I was actually surprised on how nice they were. I wish other restaurants in Miami had staff like this. The food was very good, but not great! Please set realistic expectations before going. Will definitely be back!

We got here and waited 15 mins to get a server. Many servers wandering around and we waited a bit but no one came around. Didn't even serve water, napkins, nothing. Shoutout to the man in the cashier though, he was lovely.

Bagel bar east did not disappoint ! I recommend the matzo ball soup . The portions are great for the price . Very homey food

I always enjoy their breakfast. Whenever we don't want to make breakfast on the weekends, this is our to go place.

Bagel Bar is a popular spot known for its New York-style bagels, deli sandwiches, and classic Jewish comfort foods. It's a favorite among locals and visitors.

Food is good as usual They added a new tv and surprised and disappointed it is showing CNN Suggestion....either put one tv on CNN and the other on Fox....or put both on sports....or upset the higher percentage of customers that don't care for cnn

Best bagel!! Fresh. Cream cheese was fabulous and there was excellent customer service. And since it opens early and is so close to the beach, I got a gorgeous Sunday sunrise!

BEWARE OF CATERING!! I hosted a family brunch for 16 people today (Sunday) at my home. I called Bagel Bar earlier in the week (Thursday) to place my large order to be delivered at my home at 10:30AM. By 11AM nothing had arrived. As you can imagine, I was getting nervous since I had 16 people arriving an hour later. I called the restaurant to check on my order and the first woman who answered told me she had no recollection of my order and only said "see, this is why I like to handle catering so it doesn't get screwed up. But I took three days off from this crazy restaurant. Hang on let me check with my colleague. She is trying to remember." Her colleague got on next and did remember after looking through some papers. But they hadn't prepared or sent out the order for delivery. With no real apology she only said they would get it to me as soon as they could. So, with just a few minutes to spare before my guests arrived, the food finally did- leaving us scrambling to set everything up before folks walked in the door. What a mess for something that could have been so smooth. And thank goodness I called or we would have had a brunch with no food.

Pets friendly restaurant you can bring your pets in the dining area and sit with You at the table Great food is a nice place sometimes when is over crowded the service is no so good but acceptable

I am visiting my Family on Miami Beach and was looking for a bagel spot for breakfast. I've passed by this location for years and I haven't been around the way for some time and wow what a renovation! The place looks brand new. We walked in and we were seated very quickly, took two minutes before someone took our drink order. I got to say everything was delicious! I got a bagel with bacon, egg and cheese with some home fries which I couldn't finish it all. My nephew had a huge bagel with cream cheese and jelly; and my mother had a chicken salad with a bagel and coleslaw. I had a try of the chicken salad and it was very clean, not overloaded with mayonnaise with great amount of seasoning and chunks of white chicken, so good! I'm making this my breakfast spot from now on! They also have a deli section where they make sandwiches, great idea before heading to the beach, bye bye Pub***! I would definitely recommend anyone to go here. *PS, we went on a Friday morning

12-10-22 Noon I was in North Miami holiday shopping and got hungry so I turned to Yelp for a good bagel place. So I head further South to this place. Once I arrived the confusion started there's a tent in the parking lot?! Ok so people can eat outside, nice. So directly behind I find an available space must be my lucky day. Once inside they guy at the cash register I told him I was one can I sit at the counter. He gives me a menu and I sit down. I access the situation quickly it's clean and bright and very busy. I get acknowledged and so I decide now hey they got deli let's see. The specialty sandwich caught my eye corned beef double with Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and Cole slaw I am there. It's called New York meets Miami Beach. I got potato salad as a side. Even though it was ginormous I easily ate half a sandwich. Funny they didn't ask about the bread but what else is there in this world if it isn't rye bread. I am in love. I have to tell you there is a lot of bad deli in South Florida but today I lucked out! To say I will be back quickly is an understatement! Trying to think of my next party that they could cater. Brought home a chicken salad wrap for hubby and a kasha Knish for later. I truly died and went to heaven coming here.

What a great breakfast spot. Fresh bread and bagels. I go with sesame lightly toasted with the block butter. Couple eggs and grits and today tried the turkey sausage. Very good. Feels like your typical NY style Jewish deli spot. The owner Steve is always there taking to customers and running the place and the staff is amazingly attentive. Great place overall. Keep up the good work Bagel Bar East.

I found this place recently and thought I would share it, since I've been back 8 times. As a deli this establishment is a 8 out of 10. Realize we are not in New York. However, the pastrami and cornedbeef here is good. I am a big fan of their Macaronis salad as a side. I just finished the farmer omelet and it was good as well. Service is friendly and very courteous.

everything about every visit is perfect. The food reminds me of growing up on Miami Beach at some of the best delis on earth. And my grandmother was friends with the Wolfie, the unique layout of the store it's almost as if you're eating on vacation. And the staff treat you as if you're at home you're not in a rush you're not ignored. You're just part of the family. You'll get what you get and it will be perfect and if it's not, they'll fix it. I love this place and I always will.

Jewish delis for brunch are always a great option. In terms of portion size, value & consistency BBE is at the top of the pack in North Dade. Outdoor seating continues to be appreciated. Never a wait and quick service. Breakfast burrito and monte cristo sandwich are my favorite for breakfast. For lunch any corned beef, pastrami or turkey sandwich hits the spot.

I don't know how i haven't been here more, seeing how it's such a local spot, but 10/10 would recommend! The bagels are so soft and fresh and the cream cheese melts in your mouth. It's made to perfection. I'm a Jersey girl and we love our bagels, Bagel Bar East taste like home.

The portions are all pretty big. My omelette was big and grits buttery. The egg salad sandwich was a large portion but everything was fresh and tasty.

Tried this place for the first time, and it was a sure bet. They open at 630 - as an early bird this is a double plus. The staff is super engaging the moment you walk through the door. The service was great. I hate it when I forget the servers names. So, I will describe him. Black hair, medium height, big smile and really cool attitude. He was very patient with the human who had not been awake long enough to be coherent. Thank you for that. Now, on to the food. Coffee was on point...not too strong not too weak. We ordered a Mexican omelet (tomatoes, peppers, onions and cheddar), grits and bagels. I shared the meal with my sister. She had an everything bagel with chive cream cheese. I had an egg bagel with veggie cream cheese. It was all delicious. The veggies in the cream cheese were everything you'd want in fresh veggies. The human had the short stack, scrambled eggs and bacon. He enjoyed every last bite. The human actually compared the place to one of our regular bagel places in NY but bigger. This is really positive feedback. Will we go here again? Yes Favorite thing...they open at 630 and the great attitude from the staff Bathrooms for Gents and Ladies

Good food always, one thing is be patient staff is nice and food is fresh. The spreads, baked goods, bagels, and everything in between is delightful! Nova plater with chive spread is my go 2 along with the 2 egg special everything bagel and extra chive spread. YuM

We stopped in for breakfast before a day on Miami Beach. Happy that we did! I prefer a "dense" bagel and that is how I would describe them here. Breakfast was served quickly and the service was friendly. We will be back next time we're in the area.

It's ridiculous that folks consider this place expensive. If you're over the age of 30 and you're complaining about a $20 breakfast then you are unfortunately stuck in the wrong era. Prices may change to adjust for cost, but the quality in my opinion hasn't in the slightest. You get classic deli food that you can't just find everywhere in Miami and if you do I'm sure it's more expensive to cover some outrageous area code pricing. Bagels are always up to par and consistent. Service is pretty quick but slows down a bit during slammed hours which is understandable. If you can't wait during rush hours, maybe prepare your own food. Great diner spot with tons of deli options!

can't understand burnt latkes and cold from the fridge kninish I havent had the sandwich yet but my company didn't want it after we tried to eat the re of the order. sad $75 down the drain never again don't waste your money

This is my brunch spot. Big variety of breakfast and lunch. Food made fresh and great humorous staff. The spot looks very small from the outside but it's pretty big inside plus clean bathroom wow Yes Clean Bathroom! Food is delicious!

This was a to go order. Easy parking, as soon as I walked in I was asked if I could be helped. I picked a few bagels to take to work, they toasted them and gave individual cream chasses and packed them so nicely. Everyone at work loved them! I loved the veggie cream cheese! I'll definitely be going back.

Loving this place that is right next door to our daughters new apartment. Tons of options and just like a traditional Jewish Deli it's bustling and offers that no frills all hands on deck service. Love their take out options too : pancakes to go! Black and white colores I see uuu Definitely will become a go to pit stop for them to fuel yo their Sunday brunches.

Great place for breakfast... service was on point while seating outside tables with my dog..waitress Andrea offered water for my pet which I found to be a nice touch...food came up on a timely manner and I LOVE their corn beef hash and potatoes ... being at this place many times and always enjoyed it

If I could put 0 stars I would, worst place I've ever been to. ratchet nasty dirty food, everything was horrible, the staff was the worst I've ever come across, never coming back again. Dirty ambience!

I gauge my reviews on location/atmosphere, customer service, quality of food, quality of drink, and any other bonuses or fouls. I have worked a lot of service jobs, cooked and consumed at loads of restaurants, and had my fair share of beverages from Dallas to NYC to Hong Kong to your mom's house and it pains me to have to leave a negative review. A lot of businesses justifiably blame certain issues on the pandemic while some are full of sh*t and just suck. While I cannot attest to prepandemic quality or lack there of, this place is just not there and I pray that they can turn some things around and make this high traffic subpar establishment a thriving spot so no one has to experience the disappointment and frustration that I had to. We arrived and were seated, 5 adults and 1 baby, immediately. Watching plates pass by our table, I got pretty excited and overanalyzed the menu contemplating on whether or not I'd order breakfast or lunch. I decided on the Cuban because I felt the whole "When in Rome" thing. And just like that, I snapped back to reality and realized that no one had approached our table after 15 minutes. As an owner, a manager, a service staff that relies on customer satisfaction/attention and tips, you'd think that a table with a 1 year old should be taken care of quickly so the parents don't give up and pull out. . .NOPE. I approach the host after he made the rounds chatting with guests he clearly knew and informed him of our dilemma. Shortly after this our soon to be waitress rushes by our table, points to me, and informs me that she's very busy. I look at my wife SHOOK like was our first interaction with our waitress THAT? Now my reviews can tend to be thorough, overanalyzed, and clearly created by an intelligent, well traveled, well endowed and handsomely striking man but this place will not be granted my literary wizardry. Short and bitter of it is that this place had ok food but the customer service ruins everything. Perhaps follow the most current reviews to see if they're turning around but I don't recommend this place. Better off at IHOP, at least then your expectations won't be suffocatingly depressed post pay check.

1st time customer shout to bagel bar for helping me and family out pouring rain they brought the food to my car everything was fresh delicious Maria was great and very helpful on the phone 5 stars all the way

Would not go to this place at all, the food was absolutely terrible! Way over priced first of all, Cheap ingredients. Sandwich was the worst I've had in a long time, bagel was stale as can be. Everything was undercooked. Latte was by far the worst coffee I've ever had. Honestly thought this place was gonna be okay, but it was the worst experience I've had at a food spot in North Miami. Called the manager to explain this because I've just been feeling really sick immediately after eating the food and he just laughed at me. This place is a joke, would not recommend this at all. On top of all that the staff was so incredibly rude after being so kind. What I recommend is to save yourself the time and go somewhere else.

Terrible. Waste of time. With so many great delis in Miami. Terrible service. Bad service, no sense of customer service experience

This place was good years ago, but not anymore! The bagel as you can see is under proofed and raw, and the prices are exuberant. It is a shame, that it is a mere shell of it's former self. On a good note, the counter person was nice.

Amazing food and incredible deli selection. The pastrami sandwich on home cooked rye is delicious. There lox, bagels and eggs are also extremely good. Service is great as well.

Love this place! Friendly staff. Indoor or outdoor seating. Try the Lox Platter w Homemade Potato Salad.

Delicious bagels with lox and cream cheese. They were recommended as being the closest to New York bagels in Miami but I disagree. Nice ambiance, typical neighborhood deli feel. Nice folks.
