"Detroit Institute of Bagels in Corktown has everything you want in a really good bagel shop. Bagels that are boiled and baked fresh each morning? Yep. Lots of options for cream cheese and smoked fish? Affirmative. A chorizo, avocado, and egg sandwich called the La Colmena that we’d eat every morning if we could? OK, you get the point. All of the bagels are great, but if they haven’t run out of the small batch rosemary olive oil bagels yet, make sure to grab one when you go." - sara barron, sam faye
"The description from their website is better than anything I could write about this place: "The DIB strives to create masterpieces in bagel craft. Each bagel is a work of art. And even though each bagel carries such prestige, it is still a bagel, achievable and eatable by anyone with a dollar and an appetite." - Michelle & Chris Gerard
"DiB, as it’s affectionately known, is now open in Core City, offering harried commuters an option for noshing on the run, from bagels by the dozen, a variety of flavored schmear, roasted coffee, house-made brisket, pastrami, matzo ball soup, loaves of rye and challah, and cold salads." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Detroit Institute of Bagels, with head baker Jeremiah Kouhia, now boasts the best bread program in the state, according to the reviewer." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Grab-and-go bagels are on deck at last as the Detroit Institute of Bagels returns to regular operations Thursday through Sunday — this time at 4884 Grand River Ave. in Core City. The shop now occupies the space that formerly housed Astro Coffee’s relatively short-lived second location and Ochre Bakery, both of which shuttered in May 2022." - Serena Maria Daniels
