I got a bagel and they asked if I wanted it toasted - I said yes, so they did. The blueberry lime refresher is perfect level of tart and sweet. The only issue is the drive through. I almost had a panic attack in my midsize SUV (but she's thick so...). It started off fine like "oh dang this is narrow but its a tiny corner lot so I get it." Then it quickly turned into my car sensors blowing up while I'm working out a 20-point turn to get around the corner without hitting the wall in front of me, the curb below me or the steel poles EVERYWHERE. But we made it. Rest assured. Next time, I'll just walk inside. :-) read more

Not great... We stopped by Bagel Beanery on Michigan St in G.R. on our way out of town. It was around 10:30 am. Parking is nonexistent, so we decided to hit the drive through and eat at a local park. If you have a large vehicle (truck, full-size SUV, etc...) be very careful in the drive through. It is quite tight. Luckily we had my wife's Blazer, which was no issue. Service was pleasant, polite and fast. As for the food, it wasn't great. I ordered the Denver Bagel Omelette Sandwich. It had a cold Asiago bagel with a piece of ham, scrambled egg, green pepper slices and melted cheese. I think the cold bagel with the warm egg and melted cheese threw it off. It was just a weird warm/cold combo and I was expecting a bit of crunch from the bagel, but was left with a soft, blah texture. My wife ordered the Smoked Salmon Classic Bagel Sandwich. She had the same experience. While she expected a cold bagel with hers, she told me her salmon had zero flavor. She was expecting, salt, lemon, something. She ended up eating the bagel and cream cheese without the salmon. The coffee was okay and look, we are not spoiled high class restaurant critics. We just expect that food will have flavor and some thought put into what is being served. We paid $35 for two bagel sandwiches and two medium coffees. The food just wasn't worth a premium like that. Too many other places to try to come back. read more

Bagel Beanery - Denver Omelette Bagel Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Best bagel sandwiches in GR. Chipotle Turkey Club is fantastic. Great staff and leadership.

Not worth the price... bagel wasn't warm when I received it (they don't toast the bagel either) and the paper wrapped around it was stuck to the bagel and I had to pry it off (some paper was left on the bagel). Waste of time and money. read more

Bagel Beanery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

One of the best! We always stop by when we are in town as they have so many selections and the staff are wonderful. The bagels themselves are fluffy and not tough to chew read more

Beware the drive-thru! There weren't any pricing options on the menu and there is no way to get out once you've gotten into the line. The sandwich was ok but they don't toast bagels unless requested which was strange to me. I requested my bagel be made without meat but was served one with meat on it. They were great about remaking it but I was not the only person in the store waiting on an order to be remade. Generally underwhelming! read more

I usually love Bagel Beanary but I was very disappointed in their service this day. Not only did we wait over 35 minutes for a single order, two sandwiches and a drink, but our order sat on the counter for an extra 15 minutes before anyone bothered to hand it to us. Keep in mind there were only 3 orders on the screen, no on in drive thru. We even ordered ahead on doordash to make sure that we didn't have to wait as long. While we were waiting in line I watched the manager and another employee sit on their phones, and the cashier stepped off the register for more than 10 minutes before taking anyone's orders. Not to mention this location always has flies buzzing in the lobby and almost every employee has headphones in, completely oblivious. I'd recommend you go to the other location because this one seems to be suffering. I've worked in food service for many years and If I ever gave this kind of service I'd be fired. Now for the food. What the hell. All of it was cold and soggy by the time it got to us, understandably. The drink itself sat on the counter since we arrived (again, 35 minutes.) I'm just glad they didn't forget anything on my sandwich. read more

Popped in around 12:30pm on a Wednesday and was able to order very quickly. I didn't realize there was a drive through but the menu was very easy to read and the bagel selection was amazing. I honestly had a hard time choosing between so many good options but I made a great decision going with the cheddar herb for a breakfast classic. I got scrambled egg with sausage and provolone and that hit the spot!! The Mac and cheese side was also super creamy and tasty, highly recommend. Overall amazing cozy place and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Finally decided to give this place a try after seeing the $2 iced lattes for summer. So glad I did! I ordered the Breakfast Duo and an iced latte; my total came out to $9. The sandwich had the right amount of meat, cheese, egg, and grease. Bacon was very chewy and the bagel itself didn't taste like anything but it tasted clean and I liked the density of it. Iced latte was ok...a bit too dark/burnt for me but for $2, I would buy again. The service was quick and the girl at the drive-thru was really nice. People weren't kidding about the tight drive-thru. I drive a midsize sedan and made it without any problems. Check this place out if you're in the area or want to try their $2 iced lattes / $2.50 iced mochas (until Labor Day at this location only, according to Bagel Beanery's website). read more

The bagels are terrible so the bagel sandwiches don't have a chance, service was good and the people are friendly.

The everything bagel and egg was pretty good, but was disappointed in the thin, small piece of bacon. They were incredibly busy (Sunday morning), so it took forever. The staff was nice, but didn't seem to be in a hurry either, hence the long wait. Like I said the bagel was good, but I think the sandwich was to much $ for what I got. read more

Stopped in this morning to get bagels for the team and was greeted with unprofessional and rude customer service. I ordered the bagel bundle but asked that the order be split into two bags because my staff work in two separate locations. I have done this multiple times at this location with no issue. She did as requested and then charged me for two half orders instead of the bundle. She said that the $6 up charge was to pay for the separate bag! ( basic white bag- nothing special). I told her to put the order in one bag and save me the up charge! Next time I'll go to Panera! read more

Didn't get our order right at all. Ordered 4 sandwiches and they got them completely wrong. Not adding the cream cheese we ordered extra of and not putting all the ingredients that were listed on the screen. Plus we added 20% tip. Won't see my business again. read more

Quite bummed when I got home and could barely find the chicken salad on my sandwich, but on the plus side the lack of filling made it easy to find this (facial?) hair. Not pictured is the split end I pulled off of it when trying to determine if it was a spice... read more

I want to like this location but every time I am disappointed. Takes over 10 minutes with no wait in the drive through to get my bagel. On a previous occasion a car had to reverse in the drive through because it wouldn't fit, no service member came out to help almost causing an accident. read more

You can't go wrong with pretty much any of the sandwiches here.. they are all really good! My fav- the chipotle turkey. But the specialty hot coffees and iced coffees are not near as strong as I would expect for a beanery. They taste good, but are very very sweet. read more

Bagel Beanery - Chipotle Turkey Club Sandwich on an Asiago bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

If you want to find a delicious bagel look no further, the bagel Beanery has many different options for bagels and they are ginormous! I ordered the Asiago cheese bagel and it was toasted with cream cheese, and not just a little cream cheese but they put a ton on it. In fact, I often scrap off a bunch...but... I'd rather be given too much than too little. The breakfast stack sandwich is a different story! It is stacked FULL of meat!! DELICIOUS! I mean look at how high that bagel is compared to just a bagel with spread only. It comes with bacon, sausage, egg, ham and cheese. One thing I did was dip it in the extra cream cheese to add a little flavor. I gave it 4/5 stars because I think a sauce of any kind would make this sandwich much better! read more

Bagel Beanery - Asiago cheese bagel with cream cheese and breakfast stack sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I live so close to this establishment AND I drive past it many times each day. I finally stopped this week for the bagel bundle to take to work for morning holiday cheer. Everyone loved them! It's Christmas Eve and my family is in town and I wanted to get them breakfast. I called and ordered 5 different signature breakfast sandwiches. Before I review the food, I have to make a bigger deal about their customer service. It's OUTSTANDING! My (first visit) drive through experience was quick, nice and funny. Great way to start my commute! Today, the associate that took my phone order was exceptional. I asked "can I place an order for pick up?" She responded "absolutely, what are you thinking today?" Her voice was kind and happy. I did not expect this. It's not the norm. Incidentally, the sandwiches are delicious. Haha! *I'm getting their coffee next visit and I'll update my review. read more

I love that the Bagel Beanery has a drive through, it is super convenient. Their iced chai latte with soy milk is my go to drink and their California turkey sandwich is amazing. Sandwiches come with kettle chips and a pickle, at no extra charge. read more

This place is great! Their bagels have not been a let down. So far I've tried a cheese an herb bagel with veggie cream cheese and I would get it again! Their iced chai is also great! read more

Bagel Beanery - Iced Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Went here with my friends for the first time a couple days ago, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and price. The bagels were really good, my friends and I all were satisfied with our orders, and my coffee was also really good. I got a mocha which some places make way too sweet, but they had the perfect balance of sweetener and coffee in my drink. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone nearby or to anyone who drives past this place. Am planning to come back with my friends again! read more

I'm late with this review , however Sunday Brunch was fantastic. It was football Sunday and a hectic family schedule. The bagels were fresh, the combo of eggs and breakfast sausage with cheese was seasoned to perfection and I say that because you could taste the flavor of each ingredient I can't stand to taste salt! I promise to take a picture next time. This is an established place not new , just still the best read more

Bagel Beanery has been a great stop for us every morning on our way to Spectrum Health. This review is for the lattes and bagels, we haven't tried the other items but they look very appetizing. The lattes are great and having oat milk as an option gets anyone 5 stars if they are pleasant. The team members are always very kind and appreciative of our business. They go above and beyond to make you feel as they value your business. Today our pup was in the car with us, and the drive thru barista asked if she could give our pup a puppucino. Of course our pup was in love! The drive thru is tight, but I've seen work vans sail through without a problem. Just be careful while in the chute, there are many places you can scrape. If you are concerned about the drive thru they have ample parking in front of the building. read more

I am giving this a one star due to the fact that I don't like surprises. I don't appreciate being charged a "3% surcharge to help offset fast rising expenses". This is a load of crap!!! Just increase your prices like everyone else is doing instead of taking the cowardly way of cheating everyone out of 3%. I won't be back and I have shared this with my office staff. Hey everyone...get this, they have increased their prices, so this 3% surcharge is a JOKE!!! read more

I don't understand how this place has a 3.7 rating. Giving two stars because the staff were helpful and the food looked like it wouldn't make me sick. But the bagel sandwiches are just airplane food. I am not one to send anything back or not finish my food and I threw my sandwich away it was so bad. The eggs and sausage look like they came from a bad McDonald's and the bagels are pale and flavorless. If you want a good bagel go to Terra. Even a grocery store bagel and scrambled eggs at home would be better. read more

Solid coffee and bagel place. They are no fuss and provide you with what you need as advertised. I find it to be a perfect location right off the highway of 196 and Michigan and kitty corner to a gas station. Service is quick and friendly! Whoever their manager is they do an amazing job in hiring and training their staff as they definitely do service with a smile and go out of their way to help you out. I ordered a bagel assorted platter and 2 coffee carafes for a morning meeting at work and the cashier kindly helped carry the stuff to the car with me. Their bagel and cream cheese combinations are indeed "yums!" I really enjoy their bagel breakfast sandwiches and of course their decaf cappuccinos are quite decent. My quick breakfast stops are usually via their drive through which indeed is tight but I'm able to get my hybrid SUV through there just fine. read more

The perfect hangover cure doesn't exi.... Bagel Beanery is a high quality spot for the best bagels and coffee in GR. The vibe is relaxed, it smells amazing in there and the shop is always clean. I love the cheddar herb bagel with plain or veggie cream cheese for something savory. The corn meal on the bottom of the bagels gives them the perfect texture and the explosion of flavor on the top of the crust is to die for. When I want something sweet, I get the honey wheat with honey brown sugar cream cheese. The cream cheese is like a tart frosting- so sweet and tangy. Love this combo. The coffees are great and I'm not even a big coffee drinker. I also like the smoothies and the fresh baked goods. Thanks Bagel Beanery!!! read more

Good Morning, Just wanted to give a heads up. We have been ordering the Chipotle Turkey Club for YEARS and have always loved it. The Turkey seems to have changed this time. It is thicker cut (not shaved), and not as good of quality, as well as slimy. Pretty disappointed as it's one of our favorite sandwiches. Will this be changing back at some point to the old Turkey? read more

Good bagels and sandwiches, lots of choices for type of bagel and cream cheese, and good drinks as well! Recommend highly and I only wish they were open at midnight when I get off work read more

After not going here for a while, we returned and were pleased. There have been some changed since we had been here last and they are great. The food was awesome and the coffee selection was very good. The biggest concern is the location. There is a small parking lot and I cannot get my Equinox through the drive in. Not sure how anyone not driving a compact car can get into the drive through lane. Staff is fun and we have enjoyed interacting with them. So helpful and kind. We will be back soon., read more

i always come here i am so loyal to this place but i'm getting annoyed with the inconsistency. i get the same thing every time and it's either one price or another (depending on if they charge me for an extra shot). i always ask for "toasted" and lately i've been asking "extra toasted" because they just won't toast it. the service is alright, lot of young staff so you'd think they're be quick but the second there's another person or two in the drive thru, immediate 20-30 min wait. then i always get an iced coffee and sometimes it's in a 20 oz cup and sometimes it's a bigger cup. so i ask for the bigger size. they say they only have one size so how was my coffee bigger yesterday. today my bacon is disgusting (it's often under done and pink and squishy). like seriously might throw it away because it's a taste so unfamiliar to what i normally get. do better. read more

Love the bagels here! The staff is always welcoming, their bagels are always fresh, and they have a neat variety to choose from!

I am a self-defined a bagel fanatic. I have eaten many bagels in many places. And I have to say, this is by far my favorite bagel place. The service is great, but the bagels are even better. I recommend the cinnamon crunch. Ever since I discovered this place, I haven't stopped coming back. 110% recommend read more

Pretty pricey for what you get to be honest. I only got the turkey club sandwich and I could have just made it at home. The only think special was that it was on a bagel and it was just a normal wheat bagel read more

I love this little spot! The bagels are always toasted perfectly and the breakfast sandwiches never miss. My only complaints are they ran out of napkins once which was strange when serving me an overflowing smoothie and the wax paper sometimes gets stuck to the bagels where it becomes difficult to scrap off. Overall, i try to support at least once a week for breakfast and would recommend to anyone. read more

Very friendly staff. Great coffee. Highly recommend the Arizona omelette. Nice rewards program.

Always hits the spot, my go to is the breakfast duo and an iced latte. Everything that I've tried I loved and would get again.

The establishment is a decent place to get coffee and a bagel or other food items, it certainly looked better than it taste (it still tastes pretty good though) and the coffee was good, although my partner's coffee was disgusting. read more

Pros: Reasonably priced bagels and sandwiches. Everything I've had here is good but not necessarily memorable. Last trip through I got the Arizona Ouellette. Since I'm a vegetarian, I asked for no sausage, extra egg and they made it without an upcharge. Cons: Pick your poison trying to get into this place. It has nightmare drive-thru. I have a Honda CRV and I'm always scared I'm going to scrape the paint of trying to round the corner. But the parking lot is tiny and cramped and never has spaces. Because both streets next to the parking lot are busy, there's always a backup to get in and out. read more

I love the bagel beanery and have been going there for two years now for both bagels and coffee. At first it was great! Always got the right stuff and the quality was good too. Unfortunately, for the past half a year or so almost every time I've gone something has been wrong or forgot on our order. As someone who works at a very busy coffee shop I understand demand has increased recently and the shops are much busier than normal but it is just very disappointing because I do enjoy this business very much when it is correct. So for anyone curious, the bagel beanery is very delicious but if you are a person with a dairy allergy, someone who is picky about getting what you order, or if you make any modifications (even smaller ones) to your food or drinks just be aware you maybe end up not receiving the right thing, even if they repeat it at the speaker. read more
