Ever thought about joining a club but couldn’t find one that truly resonates or keeps you committed? Well, here's a membership you won’t need much convincing to sign up for, and once you do, there’s a good chance you’ll become a loyal, even addicted, regular. This club isn’t about networking or fitness routines, it’s about bagels, spreads, and coffee. Yes, you read that right, Bagels.
Welcome to The Bagel Club, where the humble bagel is reimagined into something extraordinary. Forget mass-produced breakfast items—every bite here is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted. Tucked into a cozy corner of Downtown Miami, right next to an Orangetheory (conveniently placed for burning off your indulgence), this hidden gem redefines the bagel experience.
Though the space is compact, it’s incredibly inviting, perfect for sitting up with a laptop on one of the side couches or simply relaxing with a coffee at one of their low tables. The atmosphere is casual but elevated, much like the menu itself.
The bagel selection is broad and inspiring, made in-house and served in combinations that suit any craving, from sweet to savory, light to loaded. Start your morning with a Smoky Maple Egg Sandwich, or come back at lunchtime for the Super Nova, a standout creation where delicately smoked Samaki salmon takes the lead. It’s paired with caper cream cheese, fresh tomato slices, and thinly sliced red onion, all on your bagel of choice, balanced, bright, and utterly refined.
For a heartier bite, the BLT Club is an indulgent twist on a classic, built on a toasted bagel with ¼ lb of smoked turkey, crispy turkey bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, flavorful, textural, and deeply satisfying. If you prefer something simpler, try the Egg & Cheese with your bagel of choice, or go bold with the Rizzo, a savory blend of beef chorizo, egg, and American cheese.
We ordered all of our bagels gluten-free, yes, they offer that too, but you can also choose from plain, sesame, wheat, garlic, or there’s something for everyone, like the everything bagel.
As for drinks, we discovered a new obsession: the Chagaccino, a mocha latte reimagined with adaptogenic mushrooms. It’s bold, creamy, and energizing, without the jitters. Or opt for the Chaga Matcha Latte, an antioxidant powerhouse that tastes like matcha ice cream and delivers 4x the L-Theanine of green tea. Whether or not it was the Chaga talking, we felt like we were buzzing with good energy as we sipped our way through our bagels. For the less adventurous, there are also classic coffees, as well as fun twists like the Blueberry Latte or Vanilla Matcha Latte.
We were too full to try the freshly baked cupcakes, like the chip yogurt muffin and double chocolate chip yogurt muffin, but their scent alone was enough to tempt a return visit.
You can even take the experience home with their to-go offerings, which include assorted bagels, tuna salad, smoked salmon, sliced tomato, red onion, and flavored cream cheese so you can build your own masterpiece.
What truly elevates this club, however, is the service. Manuel, who seems to hold the keys to the entire experience, ensures every visit feels personalized and welcoming. His warm hospitality made us feel like true VIP members of this one-of-a-kind club.
