The best bagel place in Omaha and as close as you can get to a NY style bagel here (I grew up in NYC). I wish they carried tofu cream cheese (like many of the NY bagel places) but I just bring my own. I haven't tried their lox or nova and will seek that out on another visit. The texture of their bagels is just what I like (denser than chain-bagel places). I usually go for the poppy or sesame bagels :) read more

I'm not a huge breakfast eater so we just ordered a couple different kinds of bagels and smear plus a breakfast bagel sandwich. We both thought it was just OK. Bagels weren't outstanding and unfortunately they were toasted even though we asked one of them not to be. We'll go back if we are in the area... read more

Best bagels in the city. My favorite is the double onion. My daughter will go nowhere but here for her everything bagel with smear and Lox. Absolutely delicious! read more

The service was great, the bagels were amazing. They truly put Panera Bread to shame. I was very impressed, and I will be back soon! Would highly recommend . read more

Stopped here for a quick breakfast take out yesterday. Ordered the bagel lox and cream cheese. It was outstanding! The bagel was fresh and they added a perfect combination of lox and cc. I also had a small rainbow cookie - Also, very fresh and excellent. The service behind the counter was attentive and patient. I will definitely be back! read more

Awesome. Awsome. Awsome. I LOVE this place!!!! The bagels are great. Staff is really friendly and the pastries are out of this world! They come around a refill your coffee and make you feel comfortable sitting around and just talking to friends. It's my favorite spot to hit up on a Sunday. read more

This is probably the best place to get bagels in Omaha! The staff is welcoming and very friendly. I love the variety of the menu, which you can tell has that homemade taste. Not to mention, their egg salad is the best ever! read more

GREAT bagels, friendly staff, laid-back atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Perfect for Sunday morning breakfast with the kids and reading the paper... read more

Not the chew-iest best bagels I've ever had, but their egg salad here on a toasted onion bagel is delicious. Three of us stopped in on Friday and had 3 bagels- one us of had the lox cream cheese (very salty, but decent chunks of lox) and the other had the dill cream cheese. All were good. Customer service was kind of weird- they didn't know what kind of bottled waters they had out in the fridge (I just asked for bottled water) and the person who took our orders also made our food so the check out process was not that efficient. I'd stop in a lot though for the egg salad if I lived nearby. read more

Great egg bagels! Good cream cheeses, too. And a nice eating area. But I usually just grab my half-dozen and go. Be sure to slice and freeze them asap, as they'll get stale fast. (They give you a freezer bag.) read more

Having come back from a vacation to NYC, we thought we would check out Omaha's only NYC-style Jewish bakery. It definitely did not disappoint. We both had whole wheat everything bagels with lox and cream cheese. It was like being transported back to midtown Manhattan once again! The bagel was fresh, there was a generous amount of cream cheese, and the smoked salmon was perfect! I only wish that there was a Bagel Bin in Midtown, closer to my house! Ill definitely be coming back here! read more

This morning a dear friend picked me up and we went to the Bagel Bin in Omaha for breakfast. The bagels there are to die for; authentically boiled before being baked, and you can taste the difference -- better than the Bagel Shop in Houston. I began to talk with the owners of this 40-year Koshered family business. I noticed that they had a sign up for hamentaschen orders since Purim is this week. I commented and they told me they make the traditional pastries by hand and that they do not keep them on hand. My friend and I went to eat our breakfast and a few minutes later the son of the owner walked over and set this basket with two piping hot hamentaschen in front of us, straight from the oven. Delicious. My new favorite place in Omaha. read more

Bagel Bin - The piping hot hamentaschen discussed in my review. Delicious. - Bakeries Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

See all

From the bagel wasteland of Philadelphia, it's certainly pleasing to have a place right around the corner from grandma's suburban neighborhood. Don't get me wrong, the bagels are good. However, given that they're baked on site, I felt they could have been fresher tasting. My favorite thing is an fresh, un-toasted bagel. They also lacked the signature chewiness that I look for. Service was a bit curt, but the shop was overall pleasant and clean. I'd be happy to have this bagel shop in Philly, but it wouldn't quite pass muster in NY. read more

Why would you go eat bagels at another bagel place in Omaha? All other places are chains. All other places don't know how to make bagels like this. All aren't keeping it kosher. Come on! read more

Smaller in size but priced right ($.99 or $1.99 for specialty). I really wanted to give 4 or 5 stars since locally owned but the high quality just wasn't there for us. Cinnamon was our favorite, then everything. Chocolate hardly tasted of chocolate. read more

Awesome little local bagel stop in the mornings for some coffee and a bite to eat. My friends and I meet here quite regularly (3-4 times a week) and we all three get the egg mitt (egg and cheddar cheese) on an everything bagel and sometimes a chocolate croissant. My friends and I have worked in bakeries and restaurants for years and always notice how CLEAN this place is. Behind and over the counter seems to be spotless 99% of the time, and I always see employees cleaning in their downtime. Great little place nestled in a central location that is truly dedicated to making customers happy and serving great food. SO worth a try for breakfast or lunch!!! read more

I understand why this place has the reviews it does! I can tell the recipes are from NYC- these are the closest to the real deal bagels I used to get at New York bagels in Sherman Oaks CA. now.. I realize the bagels were from California but from the lines I assume the NYC transplants including Bruce Willis who I saw there one morning waiting in line for his bagels in front of me- if its close enough for Bruce Willis etc.. I was pleased because I loved my Sunday morning bagel and since I moved back- Midwest bagels are good but they just aren't quite right. these nailed it and I am so pleased I can have bagels again because I love bagel sandwiches.. they were reasonable priced - I have bagels for the rest of the week without breaking the bank- easy to find and parking in front was doable I also had a cinnamon sugar cronut.. DELISH. highly recommend! read more

The bagels were good although I ordered the bakers dozen and only got 12. I also didn't get the specified flavors that I ordered. There wasn't anything explaining that in my delivery. The flavored cream cheese was just ok and I didn't get all of the cream cheese containers that I paid for. They did offer an in store credit. But I ordered this as delivery through DoorDash. I am not sure when I'll be able to get to the restaurant or how wheelchair accessible it will be if I do. The pizza bagels were ok. I was surprised that they were just sauce and cheese. I think pepperoni, sausage, or, hamburger would have brought them up a notch. Maybe even crumbled bacon. I would order the assorted bagels again and try other items. If things are better, I'll revise my review. read more

The food is great but I think the prices are a little crazy. For a bagel and cream cheese $2.72 if you want extra cream cheese it is .50 more. Tuna and bagel is $5.22. I like the food but hate the prices. read more

Best bagel in Omaha! Please don't say Panera has the best because those are not bagels. They are pieces of dough with sugar all over them. Having been to New York multiple times, these are the closest thing to a New York bagel. The Bagel Bin is the only Kosher bakery in Omaha. The restaurant is good size but fills up quick on the weekends. They have a number of choices on their menu. Some of my favorites are the Everything Bagel with Veggie Cream Cheese, the Pizza Bagel, and the Egg Salad Bagel. You won't be disappointed with this place. read more

Are you looking for poor service? Would you like to witness OSHA violations first-hand? Stop by and take it all in. This was my second visit. Thinking that perhaps my first visit was an isolated incident, I decided to give this place a second chance. Nothing had changed. When you enter, you wait in line until a cook may or may not ask you for your order. On both visits, the employees seem confused about who was ringing up the orders. I witnessed employees preparing food leaving the preparations area to ring guests. Why didn't they wash their hands before preparing more food? The associate that seemed to be the dedicated ringer would periodically walk away from the register despite the fact that multiple guests were in line. She would ask guests for their orders, only to be advised that they had already placed their orders. I finally reached my spot in the queue and my chance to pay. At this point, the ringer again left the counter while a food preparer came to ring someone behind me. Aggravating, but maybe he had been waiting longer or something. After a third associate came to ring yet another customer who was in line behind me, I realized that this illogical approach is the modus operandi. I will not be returning. read more

My favorite bagel place in Omaha. Great bagels, donuts too, very family friendly, and a seasoned staff. It's also a great neighborhood spot where you always seem to run into someone you know - especially on the weekends. Highly recommend. read more

This place is fantastic! Was in town for a business trip & pleasantly stumbled upon it. Everyone is extremely friendly and efficient. The bagels are fresh and comparable to those famous ones in NYC! Great find read more

AMAZING!! This place is absolutely fantastic. Freshly baked bagels that have the right texture and firmness. It's not common that you can find good bagels in the Midwest, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it in Omaha. I had the everything bagel with lox/tomato/cc/onion/capers, and it was divine. I also took home a loaf of challah, and that was fabulous as well. I will absolutely be back next time I'm in Omaha! read more

Bagels don't have a boiled feel or shine but flavor is consistent and offer many topping options from the common to unique sandwiches. They slice up all the bagels at the end of the day into chips that are baked and go great with dips. Full coffee selection as well as donuts. Always great service I visit regularly over the past few years just forget to write a review. read more

I really enjoy Bagel Bins bagels and their hallah! Everything and double onion are my favorite bagels. Do mater how busy they get their staff is always patient and nice. An Omaha institution! read more

When I moved around the corner from the Bagel Bin I felt like life suddenly changed for the better. OK, a little overstated but their bagels are easily the best in Omaha. When I went in one Saturday morning (be prepared to battle a little bit of a line then) I asked where their bulk containers of cream cheese were located. I was directed to a fridge unit and when I opened the door a heavenly orchestra figuratively (not literally) played out. There is every type of cream cheese any reasonable person would want. The jalepeno-cheddar is outstanding and the lox are great. I agree with the one reviewer who said not to go there for the coffee, especially when there is a Crane about 50 ft. away. Overall great staff (even if the teenagers can be a little flaky sometimes). read more

as a native long islander my standards for bagels are wildly unattainable. bagel bin does it for me and they do it well. while it's true i could put on a lecture series or write a dissertation about the cultural differences between bagel bin and any bagel store on long island (direct message if you would like to fund that research ) the flavor, texture, and quality/freshness are on point at this establishment. today (1/13) they had rainbow cookies for sale. i bought them all, and with each bite remembered my home, shared them with my partner while we smiled. thank you sue and your team. we are so grateful. read more

These bagels are the bagels from god himself, idc what anyone says. I will and always get my bagels from here. Forget about Walmart, Bakers, Starbucks, anyone else thank you bagel bin. read more

Our first time in & it was packed. Busy but fast service. Good options and variety. The bagels were cheaper than the usual artisan place and the fast equally as good. Our favorite was the Asiago bagel with green Chile cream cheese. The cream cheese flavors are interesting, we also tried a red onion option which wasn't our favorite but definitely not a commonly found if that's your thing. Overall, definitely a neighborhood joint worth visiting read more

I may be a little biased with my 5 star rating, because my family and I have been going here as far back as I can remember. They were very good in the beginning - bagels of many kinds, challah, cookies and other pastries - even hamentaschen for the Jewish holidays. Used to go in there and get an egg bagel with cream cheese, toasted. The people were nice, and the atmosphere was comfortable. THEN THEY HAD THE FIRE. The fire reduced the place to an empty shell and I thought for sure the small business was done for. However, they rebuilt and now it's better than ever. If you like bagels, sandwiches, pastries... all of the above, I would recommend giving this quaint little business a try, because it's hard to go wrong with a bagel. Oh yes, and make sure you try the lox spread and veggie spread... and the honey peanut butter. Mixed on site, created for palette heaven. read more

The best bagel place I have ever "bin" to. Sorry. I couldn't help myself. Wonderful food and wonderful service. This place has a homey and friendly vibe that is so often found in that Midwest. Recommend the Egg Mit Bagel! Or the cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese. Who am I kidding? They are all good! read more

Wow! First time here and I was NOT disappointed. Bagels mean quite a bit to me, so I have pretty high standards when I go out for a bite of bagel. This place exceeded my expectations in every way possible! The everything bagel was divine. If you want to imagine what I tasted, imagine a hug from your sweet sweet grandmother as you're surrounded by soft puppies, slowing floating into heaven. The bagel to cream cheese ratio was the definition of perfection, a tough craft to master. The service was friendly and helpful, the booth was comfortable, and the establishment was spotless. Would recommend to any local looking for a delicious bagel. read more

Family-owned with fresh bagels made daily. Kosher. Challah bread on Thursdays and Friday's. Cheapest and best bagels you'll get in town!!

Family owned and operated. Best customer service ever! Better than a NY bagel! My personal favorite is the pizza bagel, my husband loves the everything bagel with any of their many choices of schmears, and I'm also a huge fan of their donuts as well! Amazing breads, delicious soups, friendly atmosphere, and it meets all your kosher needs as well! We ALWAYS stop at The Bagel Bin on our trips home. Wouldn't be a trip home without it! Grandma Susan Brezack is always working hard while chatting with the customers, making sure they have all they want. And her boys, Scott Brezack and David Brezack keep things running and make the best bagels ever! They are incredibly hard workers. The Bagel Bin rebuilt after a devastating fire and the amount of customers who anxiously waited and returned after they reopened is a testament to how much they love the place and its' people! Please support small businesses and enjoy some great food at the same time by visiting The Bagel Bin. You won't regret it! read more

My brother used to be a regular customer to the Bagel Bin before he moved out of state. He always raved about this bagel joint and said the bagels, service, and other baked goods were out of this world. I was heading out of town early one morning and was passing by on Pacific St. I stopped in to check it out...my brother was spot on. The bagel was delicious (Onion bagel with honey walnut cream cheese..unusual I know, but great combo.) and the service made me feel like I was a regular. I love small mom and pop bakeries and the Bagel Bin exemplifies all of the redeeming qualities of one. Check this place out, it's delicious, affordable, and the service will make you a return customer regardless. read more

They have the best bagels in town, hands down. The everything bagel with chive cream cheese is a force to be reckoned with. The price is also very good for a bakery. They always have plenty of bagel options and other baked goods. The service is great and the food is even better. read more

This place is kosher. Apparently kosher means tasteless. I've been here a few times. The cinnamon/raisin bagel, tastes like a plain bagel. The cherry bagel, tastes like a plain bagel. The blueberry bagel, tastes like a plain bagel. The garlic and herb spread should be renamed to rosemary spread since that is the only thing I could taste. Read the ingredients on it. The only thing garlic in it is garlic powder. My suggestion, use actual garlic. read more

Great prices, great bagels, and great spreads! I am excited to try the kugel and matzah ball soup as well.

Was "just passing through" Omaha and found this gem. Prices are quite reasonable and the people here couldn't be nicer. Would go out of my way to eat here again. Maybe they offer mail order? Perfect Egg bagel FTW read more
