New location is beautiful!! So happy that they moved closer to the city. Food is hot and bagels are fresh, soft, and airy. Sandwiches will put you to bed so be careful!! Ignore the reviews complaining, it makes me happy to see a local business that I enjoy successful enough to upgrade locations and interior design!

Was visiting with a friend and was going to pick up some breakfast bagels to share and I was near the area when I decided to stop by. Bagels are good. We got to of the bacon egg and cheese bagels and I added sausage on mine. Line was long (out the door) but moved sort of quickly. Once you order it does not take much longer to get your food. Sitting is limited and its BUSY so I would not recommend meeting here to catch up during their morning / afternoon rush as you will find it hard to find a place to sit. Parking is ample if youre picking up but be sure to make time to wait in line. Overall happy with the food and would try again if nearby. Probably not worth a 30 minute drive as they are not out of this world and you can find comparable bagels at different spots around town. I did get two lattes but would not order them again. They lacked flavor and tasted too watery. Also, they do not fill up the cups which is a disappointment because I ordered two small ones and after three sips they were gone. Overall as a bagel place its a solid option, not so much as a coffee spot. They do have a variety of pastries as well but I skipped out on those however If I do go back I will be sure to try some as they did look appetizing.

I finally got around to trying Bob's Bagels a week ago. I had a Garlic Bagel with Smoked salmon, tomato and capers with plain cream cheese. The gentleman who took my order was attentive and on point. There were several tables occupied inside the place which is pretty small. None the less, I took the bagel to go and must say it was very good. I love Garlic Bagels and especially mixed with Onion but Bob's doesn't bake that combination. Getting back to the bagel, crisp, full of flavor, held the insides in well, and my only regret was that I didn't buy two!! Great to have some competition in the area, keeping that east coast vibe real.

These bagels are awesome! It has that perfect texture of a firm outside but super soft center. We even came late and the bagel was still fresh. Great choices and friendly staff. 100% worth a visit. Great prices, friendly staff and very clean!

Yall this place is great! I can’t say I’m a bagel connoisseur but it’s a damn good bagel. I got the breakfast bacon, egg and cheese. I honestly don’t eat my eggs any other way than scrambled but I jumped right into this sandwich! Egg, hot crispy bacon and lots of good cheese. I also got it on the jalapeño cheese bagel, perfection! I took two bagels home for my husband and grabbed a cinnamon raisin bagel with cinnamon cream cheese - again perfection! Not too much cream cheese but enough for this really amazing bagel. Will be going back and will be stopping by to grab a dozen or so as I feel like it might make more well liked at the office 😜 Full disclosure I’m writing this before the husband has his bagels so should he have some hugely different opinion (which any married man knows is highly unlikely) I’ll edit my post to reflect.

They moved to my business park and I’ve been anticipating trying them. They’ve ruined Einstein bagels for me because these are the best bagels I’ve even had. They are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavor has the perfect amount of salt. They staff is really nice and hustle for their customers. I’m so happy they’ve moved to N Post Oak. You gotta try this place!

9am on a Saturday and they’re out of most bagel types but holy crap. My first time at their new location and will absolutely be coming here more often now that it’s closer to me. Bagels are the best in town no contest. Try the jalapeño bagel with lox cream cheese it’s amazing

I want to gate keep this place so bad, but I can’t because I love the owner bob so much, the man is committed to his craft, his staff and his experience. One of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet from New York! I just found this place about 2 months ago and I’ve already come back 7-10 times lol 😂 brought my sister and my brothers too

Spot on Bagels! Just like NY Such a sweet find in Houston. A must visit for your Houston trip. Ask about the secret to these amazing bagels!

When a friend from New Jersey recommended this spot, I knew I had to try it. I came by a few weeks ago around 11am on a Saturday, and there was already a line wrapped around the building. I didn't let that stop me and thankfully, it moved pretty quickly! The inside isn't anything fancy, but I trusted the process. After placing my order, I only waited about 5 minutes before both of my bagels were ready. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese, and a turkey sausage, egg, and cheese. I originally wanted them on jalapeño cheese bagels, but they were sold out :( The cashier suggested asiago instead and WOWWWW it was a great call. Both bagels were seriously good, but the turkey sausage was hands-down the winner. I'm not super familiar with the East Coast bagel scene, but this definitely had a different (and better) taste than anything else I've tried around here.

4 stars because this is probably the best you'll find in Houston. My boyfriend is from NYC and Bagel Bob's hit the spot for him! We ordered the lox sandwich and a bacon, egg, and cheese. Both on an everything bagel. We asked for scallion schmear on the lox, but they gave us plain. Other than that, the lox was great! As for the bacon, egg, and cheese, we really appreciated that they provided two layers of bacon. My only criticism is that the cheese tastes like a Kraft or some other lower-tier cheese. It's not sharp at all, and we could hardly taste it. They also didn't seem to provide much of it. Overall, Bagel Bob's is reasonably priced and provides a nice, chewy bagel. Best you'll find in Houston.

Banger bagels at Bob's. I kept reading stories about the owner being from NY, then I read an account of him chasing down someone in the parking lot with a New York license plate to let them know about his shop. Seems to take great pride in his work. And with good reason. The bagels really are great here. Chewy exterior and fluffy insides. I normally frequent Hot Bagel as it's close to me, but this place seemed to provide more bang for the buck. Haven't had anything that didn't wow me as of yet!

As someone who grew up in New York City and just got back from another round of real deal bagels in the boroughs, I was genuinely curious to see what the hype was about -- especially with the claim that they bring in NYC water to make their bagels. Let's get into it: I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and a jalapeño cheese bagel with scallion cream cheese. The bagels themselves weren't bad -- decent chew, decent flavor -- but let's not kid ourselves: they're not NYC bagels. Missing that iconic crisp outer crust and dense, chewy center that defines the gold standard. These leaned more soft and bready. Biggest issue for me? The cream cheese. It had a strange, almost shawarma garlic sauce consistency -- runny, overly wet, and kind of a mess. I also asked for the bagel toasted, and it wasn't. Not sure if it was a slip-up at the counter, but that detail really changes the experience when you're looking for texture and warmth. Service was fine, young staff, casual vibe -- but execution matters. Bottom line: Bagel Bob's HTX isn't bad if you're local and want a bagel fix. But if you're coming in expecting a bite of New York nostalgia, you're going to be a little let down. Houston has other options that come closer to the mark.

First of all, Bob's does have great bagels. However, the service at this new location is not good. I ordered a turkey and egg bagel with no cheese. When they handed me the bagel, I confirmed, "no cheese, right?" And the lady said "yes there's cheese." I asked if she could scrape it off - I'm lactose intolerant - and she begrudgingly tried but the cheese and bagel had become one. At this point, there are no other bagels left because it's 1pm, and I'm starving and had to get back to work, so I said I'd just eat the other side of the bagel with no cheese. She nodded and wrapped it back up, not a care in the world. Imagine my surprise when I get back to the office and the bagel has cheese on both sides!

The inside is bigger than the previous location so there's room to sit :) sort of. I'm sure they're still working out kinks but... it would probably be in their best favor to get some sort of menu of the bagel options, and a concise menu of what they offer - just to get the line flowing for efficiency. I have a pretty regular bagel order so Im okay but people like to see options available. Bob was in the back kitchen making bagels which is nice. We waited about 45 minutes in total on a Saturday morning from being in line to leaving with our food. Food was great, can't complain. This space IMO is nicer than what they had before and I'm not sure if they care to fill it nicely, but there's lots of room for improvements if they were interested in that.

Oof today's pick up order was rough. Totally unorganized, no menu, employees taking orders from memory then forgetting. It was just a hot mess. The only good thing I can say is the bagels themselves are good. The bad was everything else. We received an incorrect bagel with our order. We ordered a bagel and lox with cream cheese. Instead we got a lox cream cheese bagel. We ordered a cortado and a vanilla latte. Both coffees were not only made incorrectly, but they ran out of milk, leaving you only with the option of almond milk or half and half. It's hard to explain what mine even tasted like. Hubby's cortado def wasn't a cortado. When the guy brought the coffee, he forgot the other coffee all together. There was a constant line, but everyone was in the same situation. On the phone with their loved one so that when you get to the front of the line, you can basically ask the employee what's on the menu. They really need to get it together if they're going to operate at this new location.

Bagel Bob's is definitely the best NY style bagel shop here on the westside Houston. Bob came down from NY to open up shop here for a change of pace in life and I am glad he made the right choice. The new location is a but far for me but I am willing to make the drive to get some bagels from Bob. The new place is much bigger with seatings and tables. I love the back is also much bigger where he has the space to make more bagels and other pastries. You can get a single bagel, by the dozen, or make it into a sandwich as there are a good variety of options here. I usually get a sandwich with two eggs and ham and cheese. Now I mentioned pastries earlier as he have a rotation of sweets or croissants fresh baked for the day for sale. But he also have the $1 leftover special from the day before. I'll be up front here, this is the best deal if you don't mind being a day old. I have pretty much tried all of his bagels before and they were all great. Bob is a great gentleman and thank you for keep on making bagels.

3/3 orders wrong. Now a busy morning I understand the hussle of trying to get these bagels out. Second time perhaps they heard the wrong thing ? However this is the THIRD time they've gotten it wrong. From the wrong bagel to the wrong cream cheese, I honestly don't feel it should be that hard to do at 10am on a Thursday. Went in for a blueberry bagel and plain cream cheese, got home with blueberry and strawberry cream cheese. Now you'd think I'd learn my lesson of checking before leaving however I'm not sure I'll be back.

Went on a Friday morning around 9:30 and there wasn't really a line and didn't have to wait to long. Bagel sandwiches were great and so was the plain bagel with cream cheese. My wife didn't like the blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese, but she is also pretty pregnant so it have just been that. 9/10 and would definitely try again

I ordered a plane bagel with bacon eggs and cheese. What I got was an everything bagel with the wrong cheese and the young cashier kid laughing that they got my cheese wrong. Crappy service, crappy bagel (bagel was hella mid)

Bobs new location is fabulous!!! And the bagels and other trays are as authentic and delicious as always.

Once I found Bagel Bob's, I didn't need to try any other bagel place. Pretty bummed they moved further from me but it's worth the drive. Plus now we can sit and eat inside! The bagels are crisp yet fluffy and have the perfect balance of spread. I will say that even tho I ask for a toasted bagel it some times is not. But the bagels are amazing either way. My favorite is the fact that there really isn't a "bottom" bc they're completely covered in seasonings.

Almost every weekend my husband comes to Bagel Bob's and gets bagels; they're always good. Today, I went with my daughter and decided to eat there. I got a bacon and egg on a garlic bagel, it was delicious this young man prepared the bagel for us and we really enjoyed it!

I can recognize a Bagel Bob's bagel by the toppings on the bottom. It tells me to expect a crunchy eggshell of boiled baked glossy gluten, encasing a yielding (but rebelliously chewy) crumb. No preservatives in there, so re-birth a day-old bagel by crisping it whole at 400 degrees. It re-steams the inside like Bob's boiling kettle originally did...

This newest location for Bob's works way better for me, in proximity to home. We know there's not any good Bagel places in this area. ..if they can repeat and be consistent they should maintain for a good run. I love their Breakfast Bagel Sandwiches. I finally tried the Jalapeño/Cheese bagel. Not a huge fan. I'll still stick to the many other options. I've only tried them once since their new location and they still rock. I plan to return.

If this review is too long here's a summary: The staff do an incredible job and have a passion for their work. The bagels speak for themselves. Walk-in early and try one, I bet you've never had one this good. Ps. I forgot to mention that the bagels are made fresh every single day. This reviews abit personal because we've been coming here since the old location. For those of you who know, this was a massive improvement. I also don't mind the drive because of how good these bagels are. Since day 1 of coming here I've experienced nothing but friendly staff who are incredibly hard working and know their customer service. The new location has an open layout with enough chairs for all of Bob's customers. Which there are tons, I recommend showing up before 10am if you want to make sure they have the bagel you want. There are also tall lovely windows which let just the right amount of sun in, with no ugly glare. I saw some negative reviews and wanted to clear some things up. With all new locations come adjustments and I expect things to be more refined in about a month or two. For me, I don't care how long it takes. Just be patient with them, I don't think they expected to be so popular right after their move. If my review does anything, I just ask that you do yourself a favor and try them out. Have a great day!

This is the first time I've had the opportunity to go to bagel. Bob's, upon walking in it is a cute little restaurant. With I believe nine tables and a small bar with barstools. Upon ordering, there is a menu for the bagels, breakfast and sandwiches and then an assortment of BOB drinks and some unidentified liquid in plastic cups, but no real drink menu, I was highly disappointed that they did not have iced tea, other than some sweet tea in a bottle, I asked for my bagel to be toasted, and the only part of it that seemed toasted was the outside, it was as if they toasted the whole bagel and then cut it in half. The food itself was adequate, although it would have been better with a real toasted bagel, un toasted. The bagel seemed a bit gummy. I know that this is a new location for them so I will give them another month and then go back. The flavors were great. It was only the texture of the bagel that rubbed me the wrong way but next time I will be a bit more specific with them on the toasted bagel. I'm sure that once they get a little bit more organized, I will be able to add at least one more star to the review, definitely go and give them a shot.

The bagels here are very good! The shop is relatively easy to get to. The prices are reasonable. I recommend.

Really good! I've been looking for a good bagel place in Houston and this one hit the spot. We got the salmon spread on everything bagel and blueberry spread on cinnamon bagel. Both were delicious and the coffee was good too!

Bagel Bob's is our all time favorite bagel spot!! Aside from the delicious bagels (you really can't go wrong, order literally anything and you will be impressed) the customer service is above and beyond. If you've been to the old location, and are debating making the drive out to the new one, I highly recommend it! The inside is adorable, and there is space to sit and enjoy. On a busy Sunday morning, expect to wait for fresh bagels to come out. When we visited today, we were told 20 minutes so we went out to the car to wait to leave open tables for other customers. The bagels were out earlier than expected, and one of the sweet employees came outside to find us and deliver our bagels! This establishment puts customers first, and delivers such an amazing experience each and every time.

I love bagel bobs! My mom and I have been coming here since their old location. Their bagels are fresh and soft. I've gotten turkey sausage and egg on cinnamon raisin and my mom has gotten the lox sandwich on a blueberry bagel. We have tried other bagel shops and they don't compare as their bagels are smaller. Since moving to their new location, they have had a lot more traffic. When we first came to the new location it took us about 45 minutes to receive our order. We waited about a month before coming back and this time it only took about 10 minutes. I do recommend maybe crossing out which bagels are sold out on their menu by the cashier so customers know what is still available. Overall I do recommend!

The past Five times I've come , I've ordered a bacon egg and cheese WITH cream cheese Every single time like clockwork there is no cream cheese on the bagel , every single time they don't do it How is it a mistake at that point! Back when this was still located in dairy ashford , everything was fine. But now it's bad , the workers are careless clearly , how do you forget cream cheese when you take my order and I tell you specifically don't forget it because it's the 5th time it's been forgotten Utterly insane.

During our first visit, all the bagel options were sold out and we understand that it was closer to noon time when we visited, but come on, all you're doing is bagels! And it took us about 15 minutes of asking for a different type of bagel instead of the guy checking us out telling us which bagels they actually did have! Also, they were out of napkins....? I'm not sure how the heck that happens. We wanted to give it a second chance, we did visit a little earlier this time at 8am. The woman in front of us ordered about 2 dozen bagels and I feared the same thing was going to happen! However, after we stood at the front of the line waiting for our order to be taken, 5 minutes passed and it seemed like all the staff were consumed doing other things. There was no one who even acknowledged us or took our order. We ended up just walking out with nothing. On another note, the coffee options are very limited. It's just a self serve coffee option. If you go to a bagel place you don't want to have to go somewhere else to get your desired coffee. Seems odd to me! Will unfortunately not returning for a 3rd time.

Tried many other bagel shops in Houston. Bagel Bob's is seriously so so so good. We come here almost every weekend. There will be a line, and expect someone over the counter taking your order. This place is very much worth it.

4 stars because the bagels are amazing. Not 5 because the service it's not very good. They are not good at answering the phone for online orders and the staff is not really organized. When the place gets busy they find it funny. However once you get the food the bagels are amazing.

I recommend everyone to eat in this restaurant, good service and good food. Trust me u will love it and come back again

Bagels were good, Jersey special takes me back. Great selection of bagels and spreads. Love the scallion cream cheese

I've been going to them for years and am extremely happy they moved closer to home. A few things to consider before you leave a bad review. They just moved to this location so please give them time to get established and get a rhythm going. If you're going to order a bacon/sausage, egg, and cheese expect to wait a little while. Items sell out so be prepared to not get what you want. Similar to Magnol or Truth BBQ. This is a small business so please be supportive of the way they do business, if not there's an Einstein Bagel on BWY 8 and I-10 if you're looking for mediocre bagels. To finish off. Great bagels, great staff, great new location, and best of luck Bob!

Always delicious. Soo happy they are at the new location I will go more often. Only issue I had today was there was a Hispanic gentleman wearing a hat that was quite rude. I was just informing him that the coffee was out and he said you have to wait we will make more. Instead he should have said okay thank you for letting us know, we will get some right out. I know if Bob was there this am there would mot have been an issue.

My daughter and I absolutely love coming here. They are consistent with the taste of their bagel sandwiches and are so very friendly. They brighten my day when we come in there!

Bagel Bob's has the one of the best (if not the best) bagel sandwiches I've ever had. Their bagels are fresh and so good. I had the bacon, egg, and cheese on both a plain and everything bagel and they were both so tasty. Definitely recommend trying them out!

Food is good but it is more convenient for me to place orders over the phone, which they encourage in order to not wait long. The problem is that they often times do not answer their phone, which causes me to go elsewhere. I have a newborn and placing the order over the phone works for me but they never answer now that they moved locations. I've been going here for over 4 years and always call in as to not wait long for my order. These small details will make customers not return, even long time customers. Just answer your phone, especially if there is the option to place orders over the phone. You shouldn't neglect part of your customer population to cater to only customers that choose to wait 30 minutes in line.

Best bagels in Houston! Amazing service, great ambiance and love to see Bagel Bob's in a new beautiful location!

I have been buying bagels from Bagel Bob's for years. Having grown up in Queens, NY, eaten bagels all of my life, and even made them for a time, I am certain that the bagels Bob's store produces are way better than any other bagels available in Houston. In fact, my wife and I live near the southwest corner of the Loop and for years, we still drove all the way to I-10 and Dairy Ashford for Bob's bagels, passing several other bagel places on the way. That's how much better I believe Bob's bagels are than everyone else's bagels. Try them and you'll be hooked. Like I am!

Amongst the best bagels we've found outside of the northeast! Bagel bob is legit; we ordered bagel sandwiches for breakfast and the bagels were so good we went back and ordered a dozen to take home and freeze. Additionally, the people there are wonderful! That dozen was not fully ready because the cinnamon raisin bagels were finishing in the oven and the employee said about 15 minutes. I was getting ready to go back in and grab the bagels but the guy brought them out to me!!! Which was so awesome considering we had our young children with us. Thank you to that guy and thank you bagel bob!!!

Very nice staff, the owner is very hands on and always there. The bagels are outstanding! The best bagels in Houston by far.

Amazing bagels . All there other baked goods are awesome. The coffee is top notch. I would say it's the best bagel store in Houston . A must go to place and they have outdoor and indoor seating . Their cheese cake is hands down the best i ever had .

Meh. Long line and not worth it. They aren't friendly. Staff seems frazzled. The system is chaotic and obviously isn't working. Got my order wrong. No water available unless you want to buy a bottle of water, which is just a terrible business practice. Coffee setup was bizarre. I thought the bagels lacked flavor.

Same amazing bagels! I used to drive 30min every Sunday for them and love the new closer location.
