Rosen's Bagel Co.

"You’ll have lots of morning options at Rosen’s in North Austin, whether you want a classic New York-style bagel BEC or its Texas “Not A Taco” counterpart—basically a breakfast taco served in a bagel. We like all of the sandwiches that we’ve tried here, but our typical go-to is one of the schmearwiches. Get the lox on an everything bagel with lemon basil schmear for a great twist on a classic, then pick up a baker’s dozen on the way out to bring to the office and get into everybody’s good graces. What to get: Classic lox schmearwich" - nicolai mccrary

"There are lots of morning options at this little counter-service bagel shop near The Domain, whether you want a classic New York-style bagel BEC or its Texas “Not A Taco” counterpart—basically a breakfast taco disguised as a bagel. We like all the sandwiches that we’ve tried here, but our go-to is one of the schmearwiches. Get the lox on an everything bagel with lemon basil schmear, then pick up a baker’s dozen for the office and hope everyone forgets about how you got a little too loud at last night’s Happy Hour." - nicolai mccrary

"The brick and mortar location of Rosen’s Bagel Co. on Burnet Road, right by The Domain, evokes classic appetizing stores like Russ & Daughters Cafe in New York City with its cheerful lighting and white tiles. The traditional bagels here are among the best in Austin—slightly chewy, with a golden-brown and crisp outer crust. Like a proper bagel, they don’t need to be toasted. Additionally, Rosen’s makes housemade cream cheese, schmears, lox, and whitefish salad for their bagels (you can also get it all by the pound). Where Rosen’s truly shines are the artfully composed bagel breakfast sandwiches. The espresso-based drinks here are pretty good, too." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"Rosen’s has become the city’s go-to bagels, and now it has its own physical cafe up in North Burnet. The bagels are the base of options like fried eggs, meats, cheese, hash browns, sauces, and much more. Pickup and delivery orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
