Excellent food! And they have Dr. Brown’s soda!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been here a few times before. But today, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Heather. Very nice lady! And her employee Lauren was, also, very nice. I had the chicken salad for lunch. So good! And I couldn’t pass on the Dr. Brown’s Black Cherry soda.

Thank you again for everything, Heather! - Amy & Daisy PS. I have Daisy the plain bagel. 😂😊

Me and my family came here when we were on vacation and OMG . We dream about this place because it’s so good; there is no words in this planet to explain how delicious and yummy this place is . They have a verity of flavors that I didn’t even know could exist! Everything taste fresh like the bread cream cheese and etc…Super yummy and we will definitely be coming back to Nashville but not for Nashville it’s self but for this place only.It’s super clean and I will say...

An amazing morning in Nashville at Proper Bagel. As the name implies, this is was a proper bagel. So many cream cheese and sandwich options. As someone who’s had their fair share of New Jersey and New York bagels I was impressed. The pork role was especially exciting to see. Can’t wait to return.
