I’ve reviewed Bagel Express in the past. Under original ownership, under the last ownership and now I would like to review under the newest ownership, Mr. Baker. We love the bagels that are made fresh and on location. We stopped coming because they never got our order right under the last ownership no matter how clear we were.
I’m happy to report that the new owners and new staff are amazing! We have visited twice already and the food is delicious. They also have lots of yummy desserts now! ✨

I went up to the counter and place my order. I had to repeat myself two or three times because the girl didn’t stand still to take my order but then someone came in after being she started helping them and then I got half an order to go when my order was there to stay so then she had to repackage it. And then I had to order my coffee And oh you want coffee? So she called the girl out from the kitchen. She made the coffee delivered it to my table, and I went to ask her something when she waved her hand up and said no speak English and walked away from me. The other girl laughed. The service was quite rude and inconsiderate. I would not recommend this place the bagels were not fresh
I’ve lived in Kendall for 24 years and been there before when the owner used to run it and it was lovely, but I would not recommend it anymore. His help don’t speak English. They’re rude to the customers and very in

I used to eat at this place all the time. Hell, my high school used to get fresh bagels daily from this place some 20 years ago. The food was always on point, and you could tell from a mile away how much love went into making that atuff fresh every day. Now? Forget it. I don't know what's up with the new ownership, but the service and food quality has considerably tanked. Second time I went today in a month for breakfast with my family, and both recent visits left us in the bathroom for the majority of the day. Last visit, they completely got our orders wrong, and left onions on my wife's sandwich when she expressed to the staff that she was allergic. Very unlikely that we will return.

This place has gone down hill bad. Maybe new ownership? I used to come here regularly and the owner was always there, service was great and food good. Now it’s a nightmare. The people working there can barely speak English and even when you give them your order in Spanish, they still manage to get it wrong. I will stick with Outrageous Bagel about a mile away.

Fresh food!!! Fresh baked bagels, Bialie's, and rugelach. Polite service. Delightful place! Bialy was great! Delicious Onions on top, Porous texture and crisp edges. Nova Scotia Platter was perfect. Crisp cold new pickle. Fresh Crunchy cold sweet raw onion slices. Nova -mild and delicate flavor. Bagel great! Potato salad just right! Generous portions and fair prices. Oh I almost the rugelach were fabulous & homemade. Chocolate and raspberry. Yes, I am starved for good real deli food in Miami. Bagel Express more than delivered. Now that I found you, please keep it up! Dr Brown's sodas too. Heads-up, they have delicious empanadas too and sell out fast. Go early to Bagel Express and get some happiness food. They close at 2pm and are open every day.

I’ve been doing to here since I was a kid atmosphere and service has always been good. Unsure if ownership has changed due to the change in taste of bagels. Completely different taste.
We've been coming here for 35 years. New owners came in and they are awesome. They have added delicious onion bialys , croissants, occasional homemade pastries and rugalach. The bagels are the best. I get an omelet with vegies, sausage and cheese. We also get the nova platter and they give us generous amounts of lox, onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles, capers, potato salad and cream cheese. Everything is fresh. This is the best place to get the nova platter in the Kendall and Pinecrest area. And one of the few places in Miami that still serves vanilla and hazelnut coffee. They also serve espresso coffee drinks. They have different kinds of in house mixed cream cheeses and they make honey butter. They serve Martinelli's apple juice and Dr. Browns soda, along with tea, coca cola sodas and orange juice. You can get sandwiches made with Boars Head meats and they have a sanwich lunch special that includes a drink and chips. The restaurant is family owned and family orientated. They are super friendly and and accomodating. The restaurant and restrooms are clean. They keep a tv on which is nice too. They have inside and outside seating. We've met a lot of the other regulars that come in and we always enjoy the atmosphere here.

Alright at best. Cold bagels- service with a frown. People don’t want to be there. Bagels is tough, not warm and chewy. Not really understanding the bagel toasting process here. Honestly- I’d love to say the place is great- it’s not. By a long shot. Cruise a mile to to have much different experience. My visit was a Saturday Morning. All mediocre.

Ordered a delicious breakfast bagel sandwich. Bagel was toasted and fresh with the honey butter spread. Ordered veggie omelette which included spinach and tomatoes. With cheese included, my total came out to 8 dollars. Pretty decent price compared to other places. Plus the ladies working there were very nice and making sure eggs were cooked to my likings. Overall speedy, fresh, and delicious.
