"Wholy Bagel feels like the type of small strip-mall bagel shop you’d expect to find in a coastal New England town. It’s fairly minimalist inside, but the main attraction is the large three-level shelf of bagels sitting behind the counter. They’re baked fresh daily in a variety of flavors, including a rye one that we don’t see a lot of in Austin, and they do their job of giving cream cheese and meat a solid base. These bagels won’t change your life, but they’ll make your morning a little bit better." - nicolai mccrary

"Founded by a New Jersey native and focused on using bagels as a perfect sandwich canvas, this shop pairs its baked goods with generous toppings like whitefish salad (sourced from a noted smoked-fish purveyor) for classic, hearty bagel sandwiches." - Ben Zweig
"One of Austin’s go-to bagel stores offers plenty of breakfast bagel options and simple fillings like Taylor ham, Canadian bacon, pastrami, eggs, and cheese. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Nadia Chaudhury
"For those who need to satiate their New York-style bagel craving as early as 7 a.m., head to the Oak Hill shop (or its Northwest Hills location) and nab any of the 14 signature bagels, like jalapeno-cheddar, and 14+ cream cheeses (sweet tooths will love chocolate chip). Build your own sandwich for lunch with a slew of different meats, vegetables, and spreads. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
