Detroit’s Best Breakfast Sandwiches | Eater Detroit

"Bev’s is bagel heaven. Celebrated chef Max Sussman brought his love for bagels to Core City in May, using only organic flour to make his tangy, crunchy, crispy, tender sourdough Os. At Bev’s, there are no misses; Max only plays the hits. While there’s plenty of lox, wild caught fish, and creative cream cheese schmears to enjoy, Bev’s has a list of four stellar breakfast bagel sandwiches that you’ll want to regularly take advantage of. The green chile and chorizo sandwich is both sharp and meaty, and the Over My Egg Body (nice) is gooey and rich with eggs, mayo, and Cooper sharp cheddar cheese. Online orders are accepted, but there’s also a handful of seats at tables and at a diner-style counter." - Danny Palumbo

Chef Max Sussman’s Bev’s Bagels Opens in Detroit’s Core City | Eater Detroit

"Named for the owner’s grandmother and opened after a pandemic pivot that began in the owner’s Ann Arbor home, this Core City bagel deli serves breakfast and lunch with a focus on housemade, organic sourdough bagels (11 styles ranging from za’atar to spicy furikake and a salt stick) and a planned rotating bagel-of-the-month. Offerings include sandwiches, an array of schmears (vegan cream cheese available), inventive spreads like chile crisp and green goddess, a pizza bialy topped with pepperoni cups, and seafood-forward items that use wild-caught fish—highlighted by a wild smoked sockeye selection called “Salmons in the Steam.” Coffee is drip from Ann Arbor’s Roos Roast, and the compact dining room was designed to evoke classic Detroit diners with a curved counter, 10 stools, and an open kitchen. After opening in early May with reduced hours, the shop now welcomes customers seven days a week, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m." - Ashok Selvam

Chef Max Sussman, One of Metro Detroit’s Most Famous Food Exports, Is Opening Bev’s Bagels in Core City | Eater Detroit

"A chef-founded bagel shop rooted in the owner’s Jewish family heritage, this venture grew from a popular pop-up into a brick-and-mortar in Detroit’s Core City. It focuses on hand-rolled, organic sourdough bagels and artfully stacked sandwiches, using sourdough starter and organic flour to achieve a chewy interior, crisp exterior, and rich, yeasty aroma. The process is traditional and meticulous—dough is hand-shaped into rings, refrigerated overnight to proof, boiled, then finished in the oven. Offerings include single bagels or by the baker’s dozen, sandwiches built with ingredients like wild-caught smoked salmon, and schmears such as a green goddess cream cheese; playful seasonal specials (for example, a corned beef sandwich served on a green bagel) hint at a creative, rotating menu. The operation—taking over a longtime local bagel spot—plans to provide catering and expand into wholesale, with a late-spring opening planned." - Serena Maria Daniels

Expect to wait up to an hour on a Saturday morning while toddlers run around screaming. The bagels are good but y’all need to figure your line. We ordered online at 10:15 and it wasn’t ready till 11 and they forgot the sausage on the sandwich. Maybe don’t take online orders? I’ll only be back on a weekday.

We have had Bev’s Bagels 3 separate times and the service is slow, the price extremely high ($50 for 3 bagel sandwiches), and the product inconsistent. This last time we ordered BYO bagels with sausage, egg, and cheese that was clearly cut with a knife dripping in some sort of spicy mayo. Not what you want when you don’t order it, especially for kiddos. It was all over the bagel and was visible throughout. We have had a good experience too, but the quality should be spot on if the price is going to be so steep.

Stopped in for the first time this weekend and had an excellent experience. The food was great—we ordered some sandwiches and then got some of their day-olds and some bagel chips to take home. The day-olds are a great value—still fresh and easy to freeze. And the bagel chips are addictive. They pair well with homemade hummus. All of the staff were super chill and friendly. Very welcoming atmosphere. And their shop is adorable. I'm really excited to see this little corner of development in this part of the city <3

Tried for first time today and will definitely be back!! We got the Parmesan pepper bagel + bacon scallion schmear (recommendation from staff) and the za’atar bagel + green goddess schmear. Staff were very friendly and gave good recs. For once a place that has a good schmear / bagel ratio. Flavors were on point. I would say $5 for bagel + schmear is pretty average price wise, I would be interested to try their sandwiches out. Yes parking is relatively difficult but was able to find a space behind the building and can’t really dock them for that.

I was underwhelmed by Bev’s. I was disappointed they don’t carry onion bagels, and felt the sesame bagel I got was just ok. The green goddess cream cheese looked great, but the taste was missing something for me. The lox did taste extremely fresh. I wouldn’t be opposed to going back and trying something different, but the prices are quite high- $12 for the bagel pictured. To get my bagel fix, I will probably stick to New York Bagel or Eastside Bagel.

Extremely disappointed is an understatement. Wait time aside, the staff was nice and polite and the atmosphere was cute but the bagels were hard to eat. My jaw literally hurts from trying to finish the bagel. The bagels weren’t even filled with that much so some of them were basically just bread. I think the metro Detroit area is lacking good bagels and this could be the place once they fill their bagels giving a good bagel to filling ratio, and they improve their efficiency and bagel assembly line.

So happy this place opened up! I love me a bagel and cream cheese. And if I can get one mid work shift I'm the happiest person. They also have some really fun flavors that I love trying every week. It's always so exciting seeing a new place grow and evolve. Can't wait to see what they do next!

Love that this place exists. Good quality. Expensive but creative take on bagels. Much needed for the city of Detroit. My critique is they need a better system for taking and processing orders when walking in. When busy, you have to stand in a cramped line for someone to take your order, and the ordering system moves slow, likely due to the preponderance of bespoke options customers choose from. Upon executing your order, you are placed in queue with online orders, so even if your order consists of a single bagel with cream cheese, you may have to wait 15 mins+ while online and DoorDash orders are prepared with nobody to pick them up. This kind of business practice discourages patrons from simply walking in on a whim; bagels are supposed to be an absolute pay and grab food, and that’s the only reason to have a dine in option is to enhance the experience of the casual diner. My recommendation would be to move to a digital self-serve POS with two kiosks to facilitate in-person ordering, and to increase the facilitation for simple in person orders like a couple bagels and a cup of coffee. If bagel places in NYC moved at the speed of this place, nobody would know what a bagel is because they’re not a food that is worth waiting around for. Their merit has a time/reward ratio. Hope the business takes this seriously because otherwise I can get an equal if not better bagel for cheaper and faster at NY Bagel

Stellar! This spot is a must in Detroit. The pink turkey club is one of the best things on the menu. However, I absolutely LOVED the one that had fresh motz, sprouts, and pimento cream cheese. Haven't seen it on the menu the last two times I checked...Pretty please bring it back, I will order weekly and pay double : )

So I've loved Bev's since the Ann Arbor pop up days. However, I was pretty disappointed with my lunch experience. I ordered the Reuben (Wagyu pastrami, sauerkraut, cooper sharp, spicy mayo) on an everything pumpernickel bagel. The flavors were good - I mean hard to go wrong with cheese, spicy mayo (talk about flavor!!) but the wagyu pastrami was like 2 pieces and SUPER tough. and it was $17?!! Salt in my wound. The bagel itself was great! My friend, who has had Bev's AM sandwiches multiple times, was also pretty "meh" about her Pink Turkey Club bagel sando (Roasted turkey, bacon, tomato, spicy mayo.). +1 for creative naming though. TL;DR - stick to the bagels here or breakfast sandwiches. It's now pretty out of the way for me, but if the Bev's Bagels team would consider making an egg bagel. I'd be here every weekend! Service was really friendly and quick. We sat out in the courtyard area.

Came here to pick up some bagels for me and a friend. There weren't too many people in line or waiting so I was pretty sure this wouldn't take long and it really didn't. I ordered a Baja Bagel on Everything. It was pretty good. I will say, the bagel itself was pretty tough. I dont know if it was just the one i got or that day but i wanted a fluffy bagel and it just didn't hit. The toppings were good. The outdoor seating was also very nice considering there is very little room inside.

A little wait for the bagels bc the place gets busy, but wasn't bad. The bagel is solid & smear is yummy. I like that they have different types & is playful. Had some samples of the smear that was delicious. The bagel itself is pretty big, so pricing reflects that. I got some bagels Togo & really got to enjoy it at home the next day to appreciate the chew of the bagel.

We dropped by Bev's bagels before hitting up the Detroit beer Festival, we ordered four sandwiches and some bagels to go. I really loved all the flavors they had for their bagels and shmears. The two we tried or the chili crisp and the roasted garlic and chive. Both were really delicious. We really enjoyed the Furikaki bagels and the black pepper Parmesan bagels. The sandwich I ordered was the green chili chorizo and it was absolutely delicious..

Bev's has so many unique flavors of their bagels and spreads. I tried the over my egg body on a salt bagel with zataar and olive cream cheese. The bagel was not as fluffy as I would of liked. Also tried the furikake bagel with garlic and scallion cream cheese. This flavor combo was so good. No indoor seating, but there were tables outside.

I love a real bagel: hand rolled and boiled. Even better a Lox Sandwich: the fatty salmon, salty and briney capers, and the sharpness of onion atop a bagel is one my favorite sandwich creations (This sandwich lacked onion, but had tomato). Overall, Yummy sando. Zatar is a bagel flavor that seems quite novel here. Have to order next time. Poppyseed bagels are my favorite, but were out. This, went with my second favorite the everything bagel. This was was packed with flavor and seeds. Here's hoping the curse of the DIB is over.

Stopped by this week to try this new-ish place in Core City. About 8 seats at the counter, but these bagels are excellent! I usually don't get a bagel sandwich, but tried the egg and chorizo and partner had a chive/ lox schmear on pumpernickel everything Friendly service, no corned beef but they have wagyu pastrami !

I stopped by to grab a quick lunch and was recommended the Zaatar bagel that I paired with chili crisp spread. The flavor profile was unique and accurate,l throughly enjoyed my bagel. Service was quick and I was out in under 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend! Parking is limited so I'd recommend coming on a weekday.

Overall, I would like to say I enjoyed the inside of the building especially since having the nice ambiance of having a bakery, restaurant, cafe, and an amazing bagel place?! It sounds like a perfect morning to me. I quite enjoyed the bagel but I wish the bread was way softer to bite. I enjoyed the pink turkey club with my friends and we were amazed with the lemonade ( even bought a second one to take home)! We were also super glad with the service, the cashier was super helpful and even complimented my friends name! I would definitely recommend this place for a nice cup of coffee and a light breakfast! As well, if you just want to take your dog on a little walk.

Small place with counter service that's quick and efficient. Bagels are delicious with some unique flavors like za'tar and spicy kurikake. I had the egg sandwich while everyone else had the Sammie sandwiches. Pink turkey club is not pink but was flavored perfectly with spicy mayo. White fish spread was full of fresh radishes and cucumbers along with the spread. Highly recommend the place if you like dense chewy bagels.

**"An Hour-Long Nightmare of Incompetence, Lies, and Ice-Cold Garbage"** Where do I even begin with this absolute clown show of a bagel shop? Bew's Bagels isn't a business--it's a hostage situation with carbs. Walked in, greeted by a guy with a nose ring the size of a bagel hole, lazily poking at a kiosk like it's his first day on Earth. The place looks like a tornado hit a bakery and then someone tried to clean it up with a leaf blower. Chaos. Zero organization. Orders scribbled on napkins, bags of flour exploding in the corner--health code violation speedrun. We order a dozen bagels. "10-15 minutes," Nose Ring grunts. Cool. We step next door for coffee. Come back at 20 minutes--nothing. 30 minutes--still nothing. 40 minutes--watching people who ordered *after* us walk out with steaming bags while we stand there like idiots. Finally, at the **45-minute mark**, I ask what's up. The response? A shrug and: *"Oh yeah, we just started your order. Also, we're out of sesame and poppyseed now."* EXCUSE ME?! There were **piles** of both when we ordered. You mean to tell me you prioritized every single person who walked in after us, burned through your entire stock, and *then* decided to mention it? That's not a bagel shop. That's a social experiment on how much bullshit one customer can take. **One full hour later**--yes, **60 minutes** for *bagels*--we finally get our order. And of course, it's **wrong**. Half the bagels aren't even toasted. The ones that *are* toasted? Somehow **freezing cold**. Like they toasted them, then stuck them in a snowbank out back. The texture? A war crime. Stale, chewy, flavorless hockey pucks drowning in disappointment. I've had better bagels from a gas station at 3 a.m. This isn't a bagel shop. It's a front for something. Money laundering? Time theft? A government experiment to see how long people will wait before snapping? **Bew's Bagels doesn't deserve your time, your money, or the oxygen in that disgusting storefront.** Burn it down and salt the earth. Zero stars. I'd rather eat the kiosk. **TL;DR: 1 hour. Wrong order. Cold. Out of everything. Run by morons. Worst bagel experience of my life.**

Incredible bagels. The wagyu pastrami sesame bagel we built (with dill havarti, cucumbers, pickles, onions, and cream cheese) was rich, balanced and perfectly constructed. The Salmons in the stream with everything bagel was equally great, super fresh and flavorful. Great vibe and even better customer service! Highly recommend.

Very lively on a Saturday. Staff was very kind and calm even when it was lively in there. We ordered from our phones because the line seemed long, but it honestly moved very fast! We decided to sit and eat at the counter and it was clear they are a well oiled machine. Their stations were super clean and it smells amazing in there. I just got a bagel and a schmear, but it was pretty top tier. I'm definitely a bread enthusiast and the outer texture, fluffiness and freshness were what I've been looking for in a bagel in metro Detroit. Even the cream cheese options... so good. I placed another order before I left so I could take a few home and freeze them. Highly recommended.

Ordering online is supposed to insure that customers receive their order when they want it. A walk in customer should have to wait, not someone who orders online. My order was 15 minutes late and I was late for an appointment.

The service was top notch. They have a courteous and attentive staff. The bagels are great, especially the everything and salt bagels. It's a cool little shop in the emerging Core City neighborhood. I have found my new bagel shop, the antithesis of James Oliver.
