bagel was literally the best i've ever had- like, blessed by gods good. service was so tight. all the dudes were awesome and sooo funny. one of them did really cool yo-yo tricks while they waited for the bagel to toast! ambiance is chill. the moped really adds a lot to the vibe of the place and if you tip well enough, they even let you take it for a spin!

They have beans and bagels but not much more. Terrible service. Door locked, so couldn't use seats. Average bagels at best.

Great service, food, and drink!!! Highly recommend!!! Heard good things about these guys on npr, and was in the mood for a bagel with cream cheese. So I decided to give these folks a try. I forgot to ask for extra cream cheese, was willing to pay for the extra condiment, and they really took great care of me!!!

The bagel blandness is matched only by the employee’s eyes which are distinctly void of all life.Save yourself. Bagel elsewhere.

This place has changed a LOT….It used to be my favorite bagel shop, I would visit whenever going to the Udistrict. They would make the best salmon lox bagel with tons of toppings! But the past 3-4 times I’ve gone, my bagel is tiny with barely anything on it… I am not sure if it’s new staff making them smaller without knowing, or just cutting costs, but either way $11 for basically no toppings is ridiculous.During this particular visit, I was told AFTER I paid that they didn’t have any tomatoes, and the employee asked if I’d like lettuce instead, which was okay with me. But when I got home and opened it, it didn’t have any lettuce and pretty much no onion or capers or anything. This is how they’ve been making them lately. Was it still tasty? Yes, but I would recommend going to Rubenstein on Cap Hill or SLU if you want literally the same lox bagel (order the “Double Down”) that is twice the size as Bean & Bagel, and very generous on toppings.

Hi T.
Extremely long wait times. Twice I saw people leave a 3 person long line while waiting to order because it took so long. It took 10 minutes for one person to get a latte, with no orders in front of them. That said, the bagels are okay. The egg and cheese sandwich has quite a lot of cheese though, but that's probably just personal preference. It was also barely toasted and cold inside.

I got the breakfast sandwich which included cheddar cheese, bacon, and egg. Paid almost 9 dollars, seems a little pricey but the sandwich itself was good.

Delicious plain bagels，thick and hardy，with the right amount of cream cheese, and friendly staff. Expect to wait a bit since they have minimal staff
"Bean and bagel, hold the bean."That's the kind of sentence I'd like to start every day with.
Great staff, cool window, bangin’ beans. College-friendly prices too, so get you that bacon+egg+cheese on an everything bagel BB, you deserve it.
Bagel with cream cheese was very meh
I guess I just expected a place with bagel in the name to have good bagels?
