My friend and I met here for lunch. I had a BLT everything bagel and an iced oat milk latte. Both were tasty. There were several bagel options from sweet to savory. A gentleman, who I believe to be the owner or manager, greeted and held conversations with customers as they came in. The atmosphere was nice. The room was painted in neutral colors with several tables and chairs for two available for seating. I will say if you're a tall person you may find the chairs a bit low. My friend is 6'3" and I was worried that her knees would be in her chest, but she seemed to manage just fine. Overall, this place has good food and good vibes. read more

Wow--what a find! This isn't your typical corporate bagel shop; this is the real deal. They're crafting artisanal, hand‑made bagels with high‑quality ingredients, and it shows in every bite. The garlic cream cheese was incredible--rich, bold, and bursting with flavor. We ordered the Austin Lox & Cream and the NYC Pastrami bagels, and both were absolutely delicious. The cold brew was smooth and refreshing as well. What really sets this place apart is the personal service from the staff and the owner, Mo. You can feel the pride and care in everything they do. The shop is spotless inside and out, with some great outdoor seating to enjoy your meal. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful, authentically made bagels, this is the spot in Austin. read more

GET HERE NOW! The bagels have such great flavor and the TEXTURE is to die for. The homemade cream cheese was an explosion of flavor and if we ate bagels more I would have gotten a whole tub of it. The bacon, egg and cheese was made fresh and you could tell the quality of the ingredients! The workers were very nice and personable! You need get get here asap and have a delicious bagel and coffee! read more

Updating my review due to rude service. Walked in this morning, there was no greeting/welcome in, which is fine. I asked the young lady working the front counter if they still had their date cream cheese, as I thought this was possibly a seasonal flavor, and she offered me a condescending smile and pointed to the menu. A simple reply yes/no could've sufficed but all she said to me was "look at the menu". She did let me try the date cream cheese. Then I tried asking her more questions what I wanted to order and she just kept telling me to look at the menu instead of answering my questions, which was rude. I gave up and just ordered what I had last time because she was so unhelpful. They were so much nicer to the customers after me and greeted them as soon as they walked in. The bagels are delicious, but I personally wouldn't return due to rude service. The original woman who took my order the first time I visited was very polite, warm, and great manners. Not sure why their staff was unfriendly today. read more

Hands down one of the best bagel options in Austin area... yes I know it's in cedar park, but really the options in the city don't compare... I've tried them all (David roughies, rock star, Casper, Rosens, etc). Owner is amazing and from NYC... learned there and has recently moved to the area. Really great unique flavors and tasty coffee/drinks too. Highly recommend!! The BEC is amazing but they have date cream cheese that is insane. read more

We enjoyed our visit here! The actual bagels (the dough) of course were the best part and we tried one with bacon egg and cheese as well as one with smoked salmon. It was quite tasty and satiating which was nice and it was nice to see a variety of bagel opens available. I also didn't realize that they had a drive thru so I might have to utilize that next time for convenience's sake. I'll definitely be returning so I can try other bagels there! Shoutout to the lady making the drinks, she was very sweet. read more

My new favorite bagel spot in Cedar Park! I was craving a lox bagel and decided to treat myself. I came in around 9 AM on a Wednesday, and it was nice and quiet. There was only one other person there working on their laptop. Since it was my first time, the man working there offered me free bagel samples and helped me choose the best bagel type for the Austin Lox. He explained that all of their bagels are sourdough, with bagels sourced from Philadelphia and salmon from New York. I noticed a sign listing their cream cheese flavors and was shocked to see a date flavor. I mentioned I would try it next time and he went to the back and brought me a generous sample that was at least a couple of tablespoons. It was so good. I also ordered an iced Dubai latte with oat milk. It tasted like an iced mocha, just a bit more bitter and similar to dark chocolate or a French hot chocolate. I would 100% come back. The staff was so nice, the shop is super cute, and there is plenty of parking in the shopping center. read more

Lovely bagel shop that opened not too long ago on Parmer, and I'm already a fan. Why? Mainly the friendliness of the owner Mo (With his New York roots) and his warmness every time I've visited. What I REALLY liked is the creativity of their bagel flavors. From Za'tar, rosemary to churro bagels alongside with the classics (like sesame, everything and plain ones) they make everything in house. Plenty of flavored cream cheeses as well, the date one was a huge hit with us as well as their scallion flavored one. Every time im in the area I pass by and get a lox bagel and a bag of bagels to take home. Unlike other bagel joints they're also open later which is a huge plus. The restaurant is cute as well with some really nice murals that are inviting. Highly recommended, and the prices are reasonable as well. Hope to see Bagel Bear stick around for a long time to come! read more

I don't know what this guy is doing to those damn bagels, but HOLY MOLY, those things are for real!!! Don't believe me? Try any other franchise bagel shop first and compare. You'll taste the difference immediately. It's tastes like they actually take pride in what they're doing. read more

Visited Bagel Bear on my way to Cedar Park. The interior is spacious, clean, and full of natural light. I purchased the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel. The bagel itself had plenty of seasoning and a great texture. As for the sandwich, it's a good size but it needed a little something to make it more flavorful and bring it all together. I plan to return, but if I get a sandwich I'll add jalapeño cream cheese and get my bacon extra crispy. Service was quick and friendly! read more

After hearing so many great recommendations from friends, we finally made it to Bagel Bear and it did not disappoint! The bagel sandwiches were absolutely delicious, and it was easy to see why this place is so popular. Despite being incredibly busy, the staff was friendly, patient, and helpful. We especially appreciated how accommodating they were with our son's dairy allergy, taking the time to walk us through safe options. The restaurant was spotless, well-organized, and had a fun, energetic atmosphere. Our son loved the blueberry bagel, which was a huge win for us! He's usually pretty picky. Great food, excellent service, and a family-friendly experience. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of the menu. read more

Oh we loved the sourdough bagels. Scallion Cream cheese was soo good and very generous. We ordered the everything bagel and Jalapeno Cheddar. We lived Jalapeno Cheddar more than everything. Cappuccino was also good. Order it extra hot if you like. Staff were friendly and great service. Its a pretty casual place to dine in as well. read more

FAVORITE BAGEL PLACE Theres's a high quality selection of many different bagels. The Cheddar bagel is supreme and my favorite. The owners are very sweet people and the staff is very nice as well. It's a great place to study or eat with friends and family because of its cool simple vibe. Would definelty recommend. read more

I have been anticipating this place opening. The best part is they have a pick up window! I love the variety of bagels and that you can get any bagel as a sandwich. The chai is perfection, I like a good spiced chai versus the watered down sweet ones. The dining area is small but cute and relaxing. The workers are friendly and patient for people like me who need a minute to decide what I want. I need to learn the hours so I don't show up when they are closed. I got the cheddar jalapeño bagel and had a turkey club with chips and I got a bagel to go. This is now my new bagel stop. read more

A lovely little local bagel shop. They have some good options that are unique (rosemary, sea salt, etc) as well as your typical go-to's (sesame, plain, cheese, etc). I got the rosemary bagel with scallion cream cheese and it was delicious, although I definitely need a mint afterwards. The bagel itself was delicious, with a crunchy exterior but very fluffy airy internal breading. I will definitely go back! read more

Bagel Bear - The empty wrapping of an Everything Breakfast Bagel! - Bagels Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

If it was not for my local foodie page on Facebook, I would not have know about this place! It is located in a very unassuming strip mall next to a Shell gas station on Parmer Lane past Whitestone Blvd. (*If I had not put it into my Google Maps, I would not have found it). But, I am so glad I did. Once you walk in, it is very light and bright, and great mural (see pic). As previous reviewer said, I don't think they have ALL of what they are going to have, in regards to selection out yet, but they did have quite a few kinds out (Jalapeno Cheddar, Everything, Onion, Poppy, Sesame, and Za'atar). They had a couple of samples out, one being Sesame and the other Za'atar. If you have never tried Za'atar (*like me), try it! OMG, the spices are amazing, and definitely not something you would get any other bagel shop! Also, they MAKE THE BAGELS ON-SITE! You can tell the difference! The lady at cash register was super friendly! She explained all the choices they had and was very excited when I told her how I found them. I decided on trying the Za'atar bagel with plain cream cheese, and went with my favorite flavor, the "Everything" bagel, with (what another reviewer recommended here) the Date Cream Cheese. While I was waiting, the (owner or manager) came from kitchen and offered me a small iced tea (*not coffee as other reviewer had said). The tea was great! I don't like anything in my tea (No sugar or sweetener) and it had a great flavor! Thanks so much! Got home, and split with my husband, so each of us could try both. Only thing "bad" I would say, is it was waaaayyy tooo much cream cheese on the bagel. I took off about a Tablespoon off each one. But, the spices in the Za'atar was very good! And, that Date cream cheese was sweet, but not over sweet, and would get again too. Highly recommend, and would come back! read more

The best bagel in Austin? The Zaatar bagel here. Crisp on the outside nice and fluffy on the inside. I don't need nearly as much of a schmear that they give but I just scoop about half of it out. They have great unique cream cheeses and the staff are great. read more

Tasty sourdough bagels. Crowded as HECK. During the week you can get their normal bagels with a number of different schmears, some fancy (i.e. expensive) coffee drinks and smoothies, and breakfast sandwiches using the bagels as bread. On the weekends they sell special seasonal bagels and drinks. Small space, so unless you get really lucky you're not gonna get a place to sit down and eat. They do have a drive through, though, so that's an option. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! It's small and so cozy, the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel comfortable and want to stay longer. Their coffee is incredible, truly outstanding, and the bagels are unreal -- every single one is better than the last. It's also a great place to go with kids. They have high chairs available, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and it feels very family-friendly. On top of that, the service is flawless -- everyone is kind, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel at home. I'm honestly obsessed with this place. I could eat here every single day. I truly love, love, love, love it! read more

Your Yelper Girl checking in! I've been so excited to try this new bagel place as I looooove bagels! We went thru the drive-thru (convenient!) and my fiancé treated me. I perused the menu first. There were so many intriguing choices! I decided on a churro bagel with plain cream cheese. I wasn't sure what to expect with the churro one...I was hoping it wasn't too cinnamon-y or crumbly, but it was so good! Chewy, soft texture with a cinnamon glaze on the outside. It was a little messy because of stickiness, but I just licked my fingers and all was good! I ordered the cream cheese on the side and it was more than enough; however, I'm not a pile on the cream cheese kinda girl. I do want to try the date cream cheese as other reviewers have mentioned it is good. I also ordered the brown sugar latter (hot) and it was very yummy. The sweet girl at the window was cheerful and friendly. Welcome to the neighborhood, Bagel Bear! read more

Bagel Bear - Everything bagel & BEC on za'atar bagel - Bagels Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I ordered the Austin lox bagel. I thought the bagels had a nice texture, but I was confused on the ingredients in the order. When ordering it didn't say there was avocado in the sandwich. But it had a mashed avocado (guacamole consistency) that was off putting. It also came with tomatoes which wasn't listed on the app I used to order. I would have gotten something different if I knew that were the case. Next time I'll stick to a regular lox bagel. After comparing the different ordering websites, the descriptions are different. The online ordering through their website is what I used, and it has inaccurate descriptions. I also paid for extra capers because it wasn't in the description, but turns out capers are included. So overall, the ordering service through their website is misleading. The location was nice and well kept. Their cappuccino with honey sweetener was delicious. Their matcha was not worth it in my opinion. read more

Stumbled into this brand new bagel spot on Parmer and was very happy I did! The bagels were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and served with a friendly smile. Selection is limited at the moment but they sound like they will be expanding and every bagel comes with a coffee! The decor is sparse but bright and Mo, the chef and owner, was super friendly. Make sure to try the date flavored cream cheese - oh my! Just the right hint of sweetness to really compliment one of their delicious everything bagels! read more

The best bagels money can't buy! Finally had a chance to stop by today (after seeing it being built/moving in), only to walk out completely empty handed. Pizza bagel? If it's not sitting out on the shelf they're out of them (which leads to more questions/concerns). The 3 cheese bagels sitting in the basket in front of you? Those actually now belong to someone else and there aren't going to be more. Here's a plate of matcha bagels you can pick through though... After seeing the reviews previously left, I was hopeful, but it seems like the bagel availability was greater when a bulk of the reviews were left vs what's actually available a few weeks later. I'm sure I'll stop by again at some point, but it's not something I'll be going out of my way for now. read more

The food was delicious best bagel I've ever had (I have never been to NYC but my SIL has brought me bagels from there). I tried a build your own - Austin Lox (minus salmon) on ZA'ATAR bagel. WOW the flavors were amazing everything you can imagine plus some. My husband got the bacon egg and cheese bagel and that one was also exceptionally delicious. The bagel was recommended to get double toasted ugh such a great recommendation. We also got a plain bagel with Strawberry cream cheese... and a peach pie bagel. Like I said everything was really good. The service was amazing! There were many people working which was so nice to see that everything ran pretty smoothly. The ambiance is great as well. Whether you choose to eat there or to go. The music is nice and chill and not too loud. Will definitely be going back, even though it's a little bit of a drive for me to get to, def worth the little drive. read more

Been multiple times and every time is better than the last. High quality ingredients/execution resulting in high quality bagels that I haven't found elsewhere in Austin. I've made my way through a majority of the menu and continue to enjoy the standards and seasonal experiments. Run extremely well by manager and owner and they greatly appreciate their customers. I always find an excuse to stop by when I'm driving by and always glad I did. Any of my future Goldbelly bagel orders will now shift to Bagel Bear. read more

For Texas, these bagels are fantastic. Great atmosphere, great tasting food, and excellent service!

I grew up in the Midwest with an authentic bagel factory in my neighborhood. I didn't think I'd ever experience a real, authentic bagel again since they've become something different in most places. Bagel Bear is the best I've had in many, many years! Chewy in the right way, and a variety of traditional styles as well as some sweeter ones like blueberry, cinnamon raisin, and apple. The za'atar ones are fantastic! I had one this morning with cream cheese and lox. I overheard the owner talking about how he's about to making his own pastrami on site; I'll be eagerly waiting for that. Lastly, the folks running the shop are were warm and friendly, happy and eager to serve you their delicious bagels, and their shop is pleasant should you wish to dine in. Most. Highly. Recommended. read more

Finding a bagel shop that makes SOURDOUGH bagels is impossible! So glad we found this one. Owner was extremely helpful when I reached out via social media. My daughter can't tolerate bakers yeast and needs breads made with a sourdough starter. It's not an extremely common sensitivity and it's a pita for her. This bakery will be a Godsend for her. She loves her carbs and loves bagels. Thank you so much! We will be in often. read more
