This is such a cute bagel shop! We were craving some good bagels and noticed this place was about 15 mins away. So early Sunday morning, I took the quick drive. I was not disappointed. The 2 guys behind the counter were friendly and fast. The bagels (asiago, blueberry and french toast) where fresh and delicious.

We will be back!

I love Barb City Bagels. I come here often for their coffee, but their bagels and bagel sandwiches are SO good, omg. Definitely recommended if you're in DeKalb

Love that they have vegan cream cheese. I always get the veggie sandwich with vegan cream cheese.

Note to all employees. Bagels are to be handled gently especially poppy seed and sesame seed. Tossing the bags of bagels around like tennis balls to disrepectfull to the hard work of other worker and customers

Bagels are great, they do an awesome job on them, I’m disappointed this time because I got a bagel with vegan cream cheese, and $2 is already plenty for a smear, but another $1 upcharge, for like 2 tablespoons? And didn’t cut the bagel in half? It’s a sad day.

The bagels here are great! They’re not super dense which makes the not only taste better but more enjoyable to eat too! Their coffee is decent, but nothing that would get me to come back regularly. The bagels however I will definitely be making a return for. Recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for a nice breakfast bagel!

(EDIT) Gave this place another go. This time around the service was perfect. Much friendlier staff, plenty of bagels, and good coffee. This place really is that type of environment that is make or break just by who is attending the counter.

Went to pickup some breakfast bagel sandwiches with bacon/sausage, was shocked to find two employees who seemed kinda dismissive and almost lost, when attempting to order we were informed that there will be no more bagels made. If we wanted something "theoretically I guess I could put it on this cinnamon roll". What is going on here? Business hours state open to 2PM, you're telling us this at 10AM? Life happens sure, doesn't mean you talk snobby to potential returning customers. I hear the owner is amazing, sad to see a possible good experience ruined by what feels like a lack of energy and effort by front desk staff. I'll give the place another try and update my review.

I love their bagels and love that they serve Intelligentsia coffee. I just wish I still lived in state so I could visit more often! They are still my gold standard for everything bagels and I love their sundried tomato cream cheese.

I try to come here as much as I can because their bagels are just that amazing. Tim treats everyone with kindness and makes each trip memorable and I love supporting small businesses. Check it out if you’re in the area, you won’t regret it:) I love the everything bagels with jalapeño cream cheese if you need a recommendation
