Hard to have anything to complain about here. Can't go wrong with a hole in the wall bagel shop. Super busy as was expected for a Saturday morning around noon, but our bagels didn't take too long. So many options on the menu and everything sounded great. Went with the Elvis (wild honey pie add bacon) and the Tape Your Ankles. We both ate in silence because it was so good (and messy). Will be back to explore the menu further for sure.

I purchased a 6pk of fresh bagels, and they were delicious! They lasted for a week without molding, while also staying soft. I'll definitely be going back!

The "Loxy Lady" bagel is simply heavenly. Add a "Scotcheroo" chocolate topped peanut butter rice-crispy treat and never look back. Located right on Broad Ripple Ave.

Great BRV tradition and a derivative of the bagel & deli shop with soups, Sausage Gravy & Biscuits, and many unique, Indy-themed sandwiches. Great service but Saturday mornings can be packed as local Monon users will combine with Butler students and normal BRV and Meridian-Kessler neighbors for hangover cures & breaking fast sustenance. The setting is throw back college days with pennants hanging from the ceiling and a walk up counter with limited table-seating capacity. Everyone is friendly and you now can order ahead, but great people watching if you get a seat! The Morning Mess is my go to, but you can't go wrong! Highly recommend!

I've always loved this place, and consider it one of the absolute gems of Indy. Ordered some catering for my office this morning and it was perfect! They have several breakfast casseroles to choose from, plus they also do large orders of B's & G's. Quick to respond, order was correct, casseroles were hot, and the guy that helped me was SO nice.

So good! This is the first time we've ordered from here and definitely be back! Hubby ordered Sara's Secret. He said it was messy, but delicious. I had the Hot Tuna Meltdown, and I loved it. It was also messy but so delicious. Both were served on Bialys not bagels, and the Bialys were much softer than a bagel. We each got the cracked pepper & sea salt chips. If you haven't tried this place you should. He said it was really nice inside when he went to pickup and that service was excellent! Great lunch, can't wait to try the breakfast sandwiches!

This is honestly the best bagel place I’ve ever visited in my life! Now… I’m not saying I actively seek out a lot of bagel places, but that certainly doesn’t make my statement any less true. Anyways, the sweaty bois behind the grill put in WORK on my Jaguar Breakfast bagel sandwich. Pro tip: try it on everything bagel with Gouda instead of Colby. Every bite was literally perfect. Thank you… thank you sweaty bois behind the grill for your service and I hope you stay cool .

Very disappointing first (and most likely last) experience.Ordered a Loxy Lady and then had to wait 30+ minutes for it. I get they were busy, but 30 minutes? Okay, whatever, given the hype and the buzz, I figured it must be really worth it.It was not.I don't know if the bagel was previously frozen, or steamed and left out, or poorly toasted, but it was rock hard. I had been checking in every few minutes and ate it in my car, so there's zero excuse for why a bagel was that hard. There was no "crunch" to it like you would get from a toasted bagel, and for anyone that's ever microwaved a bagel and left it for a few minutes knows how quick and easy it is for it to become a brick - that's exactly what this was.I got an everything bagel and even the amount of everything seasoning was pretty disappointing. It felt like it was doing the bare minimum just to be classified as an everything bagel.As far as the ingredients went, they were very bad, as in the lowest tier possible one could go. The onions, despite being red onions, had absolutely no flavor, which is the same that can be said for the capers, which completely lacked that salty profile, the cucumbers tasted like they had been pre-sliced (very thinly) and then put in the fridge for just shy of a weak because they were flavorless and very limp. The cream cheese was nothing special, just a basic, run of the mill cream cheese - honestly wouldn't surprise me if it was just Philadelphia cream cheese, but even then, it was most likely some generic brand. The lox was pitiful. It had no smoke flavor to it and didn't taste fresh at all. It was just a very cheap smoked salmon.All of the ingredients felt like they were prepped en masse, put in a prep table for many, many hours, put in the fridge at the end of the day, and used the following day. At best. It also felt like their menu is so exhaustive that no single ingredient is the star, everything is shared to some extent between the next sandwich, so it quickly becomes quantity over quality.The only "redeeming quality" is the price, but even then, after trying other lox bagels in the area, and from back home, I would GLADLY pay more for a higher quality product, from top to bottom. Pay $10 for a terrible product or $13 for a premium product? It's a no-brainer for me.I have a very hard time imagining that the quality can be drastic enough between this experience and the next that it would make for a redemption story. A lox bagel is a staple in the bagel world, and while it's my favorite, it's also a solid litmus test that you can reliably carry from shop to shop to determine their quality. Ripple Bagel and Deli failed in every area as far as I'm concerned.

Went about 1:15 this afternoon- was HIGHLY disappointed. Carry out order was incorrect but didn’t notice until we got home . Bagel had no avocado (okay maybe they ran out), I ordered no tomato but it came with , and the worst part it ? My bagel has no cheese on it. No cream cheese or regular cheese like it’s supposed to. No one asked to sub cream cheese or regular cheese options with anything. I paid $10 for Turkey, cucumber and lettuce - which most of the lettuce fell out in the wrapper anyways

You know it's good when you see the strings of cheese separate from the wrapper and sandwich like it was a tv commercial. Love this place. Friendly staff. Good price for the food.
