Hands down, best bagels I’ve ever eaten. The “everything” has my heart. It has seasonings on both sides. If you haven’t checked them out, you are missing out.

The Monte Cristo - deep fried bagel, ham, raspberry-Dijon mustard, Gruyère cheese, topped with powdered sugar. Let's start with the bagel. I thought other local bagel shops were already amazing. You can really tell when baked goods are fresh. They just have that immaculate texture and taste. I'm not sure if it was because this one was deep fried but it had this incredible crunch on the outside while being fluffy on the inside.Ham was delicious. No fatty or chewy bits. Gruyère cheese was the perfect choice to complement this bagel. Subtle flavor but it gave it that delicious cheesy texture and mouthfeel. Powdered sugar was more so for looks but added a touch of sweetness that I enjoyed.Lastly, that raspberry-Dijon mustard sauce. I actually didn't know this had Dijon at all when I bought it (I thought it was just going to be a raspberry jam spread) and I kept thinking about how it tasted like honey mustard. Guess that explains it. I think this sauce really tied everything together. It had a tangy raspberry flavor and sometimes you'd get that ever so subtle taste of mustard. It was very creamy too which blended with the texture of the melted cheese. It just works.This was very, very good. I think blacknapkin is going to have some competition for my Saturday food spot. Go here, you won't regret it.

We had the Monte Cristo, Spicy Boy and everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The Monte Cristo was out of this world and I don’t even like mustard the bagels so thick and fluffy. Flavorful!

We enjoyed some bagel sandwiches when we found these guys at the Fulton St Farmers Market. We made sure to arrive early because we heard they run out quickly.Everything on their menu was prepped before hand and was inside a warmer to quickly keep the line moving.I went with the Spicy Boy, and I loved it. It definitely has a kick considering the only ingredient without spice, is the egg. They give you the Ghost Pepper Aioli on the side, which helps to control the heat.The bagels are on the fluffier side but cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We will definitely be back!

Talked to several people waiting to pick up orders and they all said that the bagels were delicious! I stopped by to get some but learned that they were sold out for the day and the best thing to do was to order ahead of time on line. So I’ll have to wait to try them. It was difficult to find the store, it’s inside towards the back.

Walked in, they saw and ignored me for a minute and helped the people who walked in immediately.Not judging the food, didn’t get a chance to try it, I won’t stay at a place with service like this.Edit to ask - if not Blacklist, who was in there ignoring me so I can put that review on their business instead?

I've always heard/seen Blacklist Bagels around on social media, but have never had the chance to try them until now! I stopped by one of their pop ups at Sparrows and ordered a few bagels. I ordered the veggie sammich (hummus, micro greens, avocado, sliced radish, and fancy salt) on a plain bagel while my sister ordered the pickle pizza bagel (open faced bagel with a ranch sauce base, mozzarella, pickles, parmesan, and fresh dill). The veggie sammich was delicious and I loved the freshness of all the added veggies, especially the micro greens! My sister loved the pickle pizza bagel and said it was one of the best bagels she's had! I'll definitely have to stop by and try out their other tasty options!

The only bagels that matter in the whole wide world! Always coming up with new and fun bagels and donuts. Never miss a chance to have blacklist bagels.
Brought a dozen to my work and was hero for the day!

Best bagels in Grand Rapids!

These bagels are delicious! Super dense and the right amount of chewy-ness. Try the everything with the herb schmear, you won’t be disappointed!

I'll be lone voice of dissent here but these were just not great. The onion one and everything kind tasted like the toppings were burnt. The six pack we tried were all so incredibly dense that they were difficult to chew and eat. The portions of cream cheese were really pricey for the small amount. The checkout makes you feel like you have to tip. Combined with the fact that you have to plan, order and pay ahead, they were just not worth the hype. I'll stick to Bagel Beanery which has a storefront, better texture and more reasonable pricing. On the bright side, they were ready on time and the website was quick and easy.

Teetering on a bit too pricey but really thoughtful menu items. Nothing crazy, just fun and tasty. The only missing pieces of the puzzle were napkins.
