Traditional bagels, breakfast sandwiches & coffee program
"Rosen’s in North Austin offers a lot of morning options, whether you want a classic New York-style BEC or its Texas “Not A Taco” counterpart—basically a breakfast taco served in a bagel. What makes them particularly pool-friendly is how well they hold up. These sandwiches are made for grab-and-go situations, with thick and hearty bagels that can stand up to any schmear or stuffing they’re pitted against. Rosen's has a Downtown location too." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"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
"There are no shortcuts at Rosen’s. All of the steps for a classic bagel—sponging, mixing, rolling, cooling, boiling, and baking—are outlined in detail on their website. The end results are about as classic as they come, and among the best in town, with a dense interior and a crispy, slightly leathery crust. The best part is that there are two easy locations for a great breakfast—the main one near The Domain, and another Downtown." - nicolai mccrary

"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
