"The lines are often long at this boxy little bagel stand, but the wait outside is worth it. Whether it’s morning, mid-morning, or lunchtime, a bagel from the Starship stand Downtown will perk up any day. This spot slings bagels with lox, crisp vegetables, and schmear for the purists. With the wide array of flavors of both bagels and schmears (it has all the classic varieties — salt, sesame seed, onion, garlic, everything, etc.), it can be overwhelming to pick an order. That’s why Starship offers bagel sandwiches, like the Cucumber (sliced cuke on a choice of bagel with schmear), the Millennial Falcon (a take on avocado toast — but make it a bagel), and the Supernova Lox (lox plus tomato, cucumber, red onion, and capers). There are additional locations in Lewisville and North Dallas. If you drive: Starship’s Downtown location doesn’t have parking, so it’s best to have someone drive you and keep circling the block, or accept that you’ll probably have to pay to park." - Courtney E.

"Want a great breakfast, a yummy mid-morning treat, or a light lunch? Head to Starship Bagel’s stand Downtown next to the park with the giant eyeball sculpture. It has a wide array of schmears, including scallion, honey almond, avocado, and fermented jalapeno. Or get a bagel sandwich with lox, cucumbers, or the Millennial Falcon — a take on avocado toast. These are some of the city’s best bagels, so whatever sounds good will be good. And yes, there is coffee. What there isn’t is a parking lot — go with a paid street spot or a nearby lot, or ask a friend who cares about your bagel consumption to flip the hazards on and wait while you order (only do this if the line is short)." - Courtney E. Smith
"There’s not a better breakfast bite than the award-winning bagels at Starship. Be forewarned, however, they don’t do eggs and bacon on the bagels. It’s simply the best schmears in town and fresh, crisp vegetables. This spot in Downtown is strictly a stand, with seating all around that looks into the hypnotizing eyeball art in the park next door. It also has locations in Lewisville and North Dallas that are storefronts." - Courtney E. Smith
"The lines are often long, but the wait is worth it. A morning (or mid-morning or lunch) bagel from the Starship stand downtown will perk up any day. Don’t expect to get eggs and bacon or any other breakfast style bagel, however — it’s strictly lox, veggies, and schmear for these purists. With the wide array of flavors, of both bagels and schmear, it’ll take ages before any bagel lover worth their salt (bagel) will even miss ‘em." - Courtney E. Smith
