Great customer service and quality products. Love it May be busy sometimes but their attention to detail is exceptional. The bagels are fresh and the lux with bagels and creative sandwiches are great. Haven't had a bad item from there yet since my arrival to Nebraska. read more

We drove 30 minutes to try The Bagel Bin in Omaha after reading reviews and the way the business describes itself. Your story states that Bagel Bin is "a pioneer of the New York-style bagel in Omaha and the city's inaugural destination for this quintessential treat." Because of that, our expectations were high. Unfortunately, our visit did not reflect what's described. The ordering area was unclear for first-time customers, with no obvious signage showing where to order or where to pick up. The main disappointment was the bagels. I always order a plain bagel as a baseline. Having grown up in Brooklyn, NY in the 60s-70s, I'm very familiar with what a true New York-style bagel should be: * A tight, dense crumb with tiny air pockets -- compact but still soft * A chewy crust, not crunchy -- a gentle tug when you bite * Clear freshness -- when warm, it should smell like flour, steam, and malt What we received was dry and lacking chew, with none of the aroma or freshness expected from a hot-water-boiled, freshly baked New York-style bagel. It tasted more like something that had been sitting than something just made. We were genuinely excited to visit and left disappointed, which is not something we expected given your reputation. If this was simply an off day, I'd appreciate hearing that and understanding what may have happened. If someone from management would like to reach out directly, I'd welcome a conversation and the opportunity to experience the bagels as they're intended to be. Here's their response on Google: We open at 5am for all the freshness and aromas you desire. Thanks for the review. Here's my follow up response: I'm disappointed by this response. My feedback focused on quality, freshness, and expectations set by how the business represents itself -- none of which were addressed here. Thoughtful, critical feedback should be an opportunity for engagement and improvement. Ignoring it sends a message about how customer concerns are valued. read more

Drove 25 minutes to get here expecting service, but I think I accidentally signed up for a live action invisibility experiment. Sat there for 20 minutes while the staff gladly helped every single person who walked in after me like I was part of the furniture. At one point I considered introducing myself just to confirm I still existed. Eventually I left, not because I was helped, but because I aged enough to qualify for retirement. Great place if you enjoy being ignored. Terrible service. read more

A quick stop again. Love their bagels and bagel breakfast sandwiches too. Lots of flavors. Service is quick. Grab a bagel and enjoy! read more

Best bagels in Omaha. Nice assortment of bagels, cream cheese. They get your order right, which is refreshing. Out of the way location.

I hear everyone rave about Bagel Bin and after spending some time in NYC a few months ago I had to see if these lived up the hype of being the best bagel in Omaha. Unfortunately I was disappointed in the bagel themselves. A little dry, not enough chew. Also not very large for bagels being their main product. However the cream cheese was absolutely delicious. The menu is also a little hard to read with the color that it is. The green with black font. They were asking what we wanted before we could even get to the full menu to read. read more

Busy Sunday morning but the line moves fast. I ordered lox, tomato, onion and capers on an everything bagel. I can't remember if I've had better? I haven't been to a deli in New York City or any of the boroughs though. I can't imagine it being much better though. The next time I'm in Omaha I will be back. read more

Got the egg/cheese on everything bagel and it was delicious. Great place. Great staff.

I stopped in with some coworkers for a quick breakfast before a busy Sunday shift. My coworkers love this place, so as a big bagel fan, I was excited to give it a try. The menu has a ton of options, which can feel a bit overwhelming at first if you're new. I did feel a little rushed to make a decision, but thankfully my coworkers who had been before helped me pick out something great. I ended up going with the everything bagel paired with garlic herb cream cheese and wow it was incredible. I've tried my fair share of bagels from big chains like Einstein's, but this one was top tier. The bagel was so fresh and the cream cheese was packed with flavor. I've been craving another one ever since. If you're a bagel lover, this spot is a must visit! read more

Excellent service, fresh bagels. My go to is egg salad on an onion bagel. Slightly messy but oh so good.

This place is always packed and so busy! I can see why, their bagels are super good, cream cheese are fantastic and they have such a huge variety of bagels! Quite a little gem in omaha! Staff are SO FRIENDLY The only sad thing is they open from 5:00am - 2:00pm Monday through Sunday! read more

Bagels were delicious! I'm not the biggest bagel fan, but they had some very cool combos. Mushroom melt was so good, next time I'm going to get the California Delight. Not only do they sell bagels, but they have pastries, bread, muffins, and other goodies. The line was long when we got in it, but it went by super quickly! Took maybe 10-15 minutes to get our order in and pay. When ordering, they are straight to it. After ordering, wait at the register to pay. You can either sit down or wait for your food depending on how long your order takes to complete. The ambiance is simple but a little outdated. It does the job by providing seats and tables for you to eat. Has no impact on the food obviously. If you need a quick bite for breakfast/lunch, great place to stop by! read more

Best bagels in town. Very friendly staff. You may have to wait in line but it is worth it. I usually get a toasted Asiago bagel and a cup of coffee. They also have doggy bagels which of course, my dogs love. They also have a great assortment of donuts that I will try someday. read more

Nice kosher dairy "mom and pop" bagel shop style place. Very casual and nice and friendly staff. Bagels are tasty and unique. I recommend the hummus club sandwich and the lox on a super onion bagel. Pastries are also very tasty. read more

This place is amazing. I have everything for breakfast lunch you name it. Staff was awesome what

Microwaved food in a styrofoam container. If you know much about leaching plastics into our foods, this is a big no no. Not only was my bagel sandwich microwaved but my casserole dish was also. I do not expect to go to a restaurant and have my food microwaved. Service was also not the friendliest. read more

This is the NY bagel spot I was looking for! The line was all the way to the door when I got in but it moved fast, the staff is very efficient. So many varieties of bagels on display! I got the lox bagel and it was exactly what I was hoping for. There were lots of tables inside for people who want to eat in. This is definitely my go-to bagel spot now. read more

Be sure to get there before they close, we almost didn't make it. I think cut off is 2pm every day. They are generous with the cream cheese which I'm a fan of! We both got everything bagels with plain cream cheese because that was all we could smell as soon as we walked in! Fresh baked and ready to go. We also got some everything bagel chips. All of it was delicious and I'd definitely recommend this place for your bagel cravings! Bonus that there's a scooters right next door. read more

I stopped in bagel bin while running some errands nearby and it did not disappoint! They have a plethora of bagels to choose from but they keep the menu simple. I had an everything bagel with veggie schmear, which was absolutely delicious and toasted perfectly. The diner coffee in the togo styrofoam cup was also wonderful and made my morning. I definitely plan to come back to bagel bin whenever I'm nearby. read more

I have said it once and I will say it again, by far the best bagels in Omaha! The sproutness with lox added on an everything bagel is so good !!!!! read more

A quick visit from my mom meant getting a good local breakfast. We made our way this morning to Bagel Bin, Omaha, Nebraska's only kosher restaurant. It's always busy there on Sunday, with a line and people constantly filtering in. There are plenty of tables to sit at, though we took our order to go. We got some bagels to go, toasted bialys with egg and cheese, apple strudel, almond croissants, and an everything bagel pretzel before they sold out of them. Simple, well executed baked goods. Am already considering returning for their 'STICKY' mini cinnamon rolls. So tasty. Nestled off of a main road, Bagel Bin has an authentic feel. Staff is friendly and efficient. There are groups of friends as well as families sitting at the booths in the restaurant. You can't find so many places like this anymore. Worth a visit! read more

Called in a phone order for the next morning from the Twin Cities 20 mins before they closed. David, the owner went way out of his way for us. I told him our budget and he figured it all out, delivered it himself and kept me informed the whole time. Amazing customer service and kindness. So happy I found this place! read more

This is my favorite place to get a bagel in all of Omaha. It is the perfect place for a Sunday breakfast after church with loved ones or a significant other. My girlfriend and I on several occasions go to this place after mass on Sunday as a mini tradition. The wait time may seem long when you get inside but it's such quick service with friendliest of people serving you. Our go to is to get a Denver Omelet bagel sandwich on an Everything Bagel and then split and Everything Bagel with cream cheese and a cup of Joe. This is all at very affordable price and it's a place that has been family owned and operated since 1977. The ambience almost makes you feel like you are at a New York Deli (full disclosure never been to a New York Deli but I would very much like to go.) All in all an Omaha staple you must try! read more

Highly recommended. A friend took is here and these bagels are excellent. Friendly staff who prided quick service.

Service is exceptional. I will have to return to an early day purchase, as our bagels were dried out and not as everyone raves about. I hate giving only 3 stars as I k ow this place is better than this! :) read more

Service was great and staff was very friendly. I wasn't the biggest fan of the bagels tho... very average bagels with barely any cream cheese on them. I had high hopes but just wasn't a fan of the bagels. read more

Their Bagels are fresh baked daily & your choices seem endless! I know there's a lot of commercial competition for bagels in Omaha, but I think Bagel Bin has the best bagels with Lox! I order this every time! The Lox are velvety smooth and rich in flavor! If you haven't been here you should try it! read more

No frills location that hides some of the best bagels you'll ever have. The everything bagel is to die for - absolutely perfectly made. Light crackly texture, bready soft interior, herbed to exultation. So good! We both had lox bagels, something we both miss from our respective east coast and west coast lives. And we were both so happy with the feeling of "Yes! We finally found a place here!" The coffee was what you'd expect for a neighborhood bagel place, the interior was purely functional, it's not trendy or exciting. But what it is is so tasty, so reliably good, that it was packed with people the entire time. They just kept coming. And now that we've tasted how good these bagels are, we'll keep coming too. read more

Quite possibly the worst bagel place ever. We got here first thing in the morning for the freshest possible bagels and we got the opposite. The bagels were super dry, hard and had zero taste. It was absolutely gross. In addition to this the lady behind the counter helping us was not friendly at all and looked like she hated her job. Went to Whole Foods and got better bagels. Awful and won't be going back. read more

Bagels were excellent! Will be back! Loved the cinnamon raisin bagel and the plain ones or onion to get to make with sandwiches. A must try! read more

These taste far from the advertised "New York style" bagels, in my opinion. They're dense and bread-like. I would've liked a more generous portion of cream cheese, as one would expect from a "New York style bagel shop." On a positive note, the store has a good selection of flavors and the service behind the counter was nice. read more

Stopped by the Bagel Bin one busy morning and was not disappointed at all! It was quite busy when we were there, but there were a ton of helpful workers there to take your order and make it quickly. We ordered the California Delight on an everything bagel that was amazing! We ordered it with cream cheese (as opposed to Mayo) and I really loved the avocado and sprouts on it. It was definitely filling and the perfect amount for a lunch entree. We also ordered the Denver omelette on an onion bagel which was also really good! We definitely preferred the California Delight (I love avocado), but both bagels were great! read more

Staff was friendly, fast, and plentiful. So many places seem to be under-staffed lately, but this was not the case at Bagel Bin. Good variety of New York-style bagels as well as cream cheese flavor choices. Dr. Brown's canned soda available in the fridge. There were loaf cakes (lemon poppyseed, chocolate chip sour cream, and other flavors) , a few types of doughnuts, and kugel on offer as well, but we did not try any of them since we knew we would likely devour those also. Sliced, toasted bagels had the perfect crispy exterior with softer, slightly chewy interior. read more

Great bagels good location absolutely loved their lox. The bagels are so fresh and they are super nice people .

It's rather astounding that Omaha does not have more bagel specific businesses. Sure you can always pick one up at a grocery store, Panera or a Starbucks but I wish there were more places like Bagel Bin and Breuggers around town. There's something about the dough texture and toasted crunch at a specialty place that just makes the bagel experience better. Bagel Bin is tucked in with a bunch of other cool old timer businesses off Pacific. Parking is easy and there's lots of seating inside if you want to stay and eat. They've got plenty of bagel flavor selection and different kinds of spreads that you can put on it. They also have some baked goods and sandwich options. I personally love bagels specific businesses and this has a friendly community neighborhood feel that you will like. I recommend. read more

I love bagels, all kinds of bagels, I don't discriminate. Bagel Bin is one of those bagel places you would drive out of your for. I've heard about NY style bagels, and I'm just going to go ahead and say they're better. I've only had their take out bagels but they taste fresh everytime! Even from the store to the workplace they hold up and don't dry out. They have very unique cream cheese and I've enjoyed sampling them all! Definitely give this a stop before you go to a big chain. read more

Scrumptious! I have always loved Bagel Bin. Thankfully, they are still open in these pandemic times. My favorites are the jelly doughnuts, lox cream cheese and salt bagels. All of their bagels are great, my toddlers love the cherry flavored ones. I had a piece once expecting it to be awful, but the cherry flavor was actually pretty light. They also make my favorite challah. They sell both small individual buns and big loaves. This brings me to other types of bread. The lemon poppy seed bread is so good. I haven't tried the pumpkin yet, but it's on my list. OK, well, now I've talked myself into going to Bagel Bin. Happily they do curbside. read more
