Honestly, these are NY bagels in AZ, they're great!
I went there this morning and was greeted so warmly by the owners. They were so kind and generous and have the absolutely best fluffy bagels. Being from Chicago, I was looking for some *good* bagels and this place did not disappoint! The owner had me try their Arabic tea and it was also absolutely delicious!
Don’t pass up on this place. I will definitely be a regular here!!

Stop looking. There is no where else that makes east coast bagels around here but The Bagel Man. Full stop. Most people on AZ don’t know what good bagels are supposed to taste like, they can keep buying bad bagels at Einsteins, Bagel Nosh, Dunkin Donuts etc. For the rest of us who have been ruined by the taste of REAL bagels, this is the place to satisfy!

As a New Yorker, I vouch and overly recommend this amazing family owned bagel spot 👌💯 perfectly made, soft inside, toasted, and crunchy outside with the perfect amount of smear!! I do onion bagel with scallion cream cheese — everything home made, and not the sissy chopped scallions … they chop them correctly ✅ I’m sad I don’t live here to have this everyday. Thank you 🙏

We are always on the hunt for good bagels when we travel. This is the BEST bagel I have had in a long long time, maybe ever. Friendly and efficient service. So good we came twice during our trip and brought home 2 dozen.
Excellent. Really good bagel, really good cream cheese, and I liked the tea with some French vanilla creamer. Also had a mini jalapeno bagel which was a nice surprise. And the folks were lovely. 💯💯 Thanks very much!

9/6/25: Finally popped in to The Bagel Man this particular Saturday, what a fun time! From the second we walked in the door, the vibe made us feel like we were greeting long-lost-family. The gentleman behind the counter was boisterous, cracking jokes left & right, gobbling like a turkey (trying to persuade me to order that particular bagel breakfast sandwich - it worked). Ha!
It is a tight spot, no sitting inside, and only a few chairs/tables outside. They have a lot of classic items in front of their counters (stereos, phone, etc); that was fun to peruse through while we waited.
The sandwiches came out quickly & luckily a table was available outside. While we were woofing down the delightful food, a guy came out & started speaking with us. Turns out, he was the cook. Great guy & it was so enlightening to talk to him about the bagels, the store in general, how they're made (by hand!!), all that jazz. After speaking with him, we definitely came away with a higher appreciation of all the work that family does to make such wonderful food.
If you haven't tried The Bagel Man, you are missing out. To hell with that other famous bagel place :-), The Bagel Man is the place to go!
