Blueberry Bagel with strawberry and cinnamon spread.
Stephanie M.

Food & service was great and the whole experience felt very like a calm home feeling. We had recently been to NY in March and the inside reminded us of a bagel shop we visited. We got the pizza bagel on plain bagel,fresh squeezed orange juice, sliced turkey sandwich on plain bagel, and a blueberry bagel with half strawberry spread and half cinnamon spread. Our 5 year old said 10/10!!! Our 15 year old.is asking when we're going back and that's a win itself!!!

Bob's Bagels has really good bagels! The staff is always friendly and helpful, and everything we've tried has been great. The line can get pretty long on Saturday mornings, sometimes even out the door, but it moves along and is definitely worth the wait. Great neighborhood bagel spot!

Nut allergy friendly: No issues here, I think all the bagels are safe. Time to Order: Six minutes after I ordered, but there was quite a line (10+) people after I left! So be prepared for a 20+ minute wait. I arrived around 10:15 on a Sunday. Parking is easy, tons in the strip mall. Ordered a Lox bagel on everything, fully loaded, and the bread pudding to go. The lox bagel is definitely the best I've had in Houston. I love lox bagels when I go to NYC and while this isn't quite there with being fully loaded (I think they're missing capers? Maybe forgot?) it's the best in the area, for sure. The bagel is chewy and flavorful and their cream cheese is excellent too. The bread pudding is a hidden gem. Amazing value, extremely sharable. Huge portions. Texture is great - soft on the bottom, not too sweet either. It's very filling. I will definitely be back!

Lox Sandwich: Thick tomato slices look like salmon. Not enough salmon, too much tomato. Bagel too hard and not heated enough.

Came at 3pm on a Saturday and all the bagels I wanted were gone. No everything, garlic, or onion :( I had to settle for plain. It was surprisingly sorta busy, even though they were close to closing. Service was fine, not great. It felt like all the workers were teenagers who didn't really care, if you know what I mean. SAUSAGE, EGG, & CHEESE: It was exactly what you'd expect, in a good way. The bagel was hot, soft, and satisfying to eat. The TURKEY SAUSAGE, EGG, & CHEESE tasted almost exactly the same. Hard to tell the difference. JALAPEÑO CHEESE BAGEL: Surprisingly loaded with jalapeños and spicier than expected. PLAIN BAGEL: My last option. Plain is plain is plain. Not much else to say about it. I overheard a worker say that he likes the egg bagels more than the plain, and I instantly regretted not getting the egg instead of plain. It isn't bad, it's just not anything special with no flavor. LOX SANDWICH: At first, I thought it was loaded with salmon and was impressed, only to realize that there were thick tomato slices blending into the salmon slices. I felt a little bamboozled while eating because I thought it was loaded with salmon, but it was really loaded with tomato. The ratio was definitely off, with more tomato than salmon. Very disappointing. I could taste the salmon, but it definitely wasn't worth the price. Also, the bagel was too hard. I don't think they heated it at all. Or if they did, it wasn't enough. You could probably request it get heated more when you order though. Also, extremely messy to eat. The salmon and tomatoes kept sliding out with every bite. All in all, not a terrible lox sandwich. It's decent if you're craving one and in the area, but I'm sure I can find a much more satisfying one somewhere else.

I came in here not knowing what to expect. I ordered the jersey special that has pastrami egg and cheese on a jalapeño cheese bagel. The bagel was definitely not what I expected, a slice of American cheese with some jalapeños on top of it, however taste wise it was good, it had a good crunch since it was toasted and the jalapeños were fresh and even though they did not have seeds it was still spicy. I also paired it with a raspberry tea that was very refreshing and helped calm down the spicyness. Bagel bobs has fairly priced bagels as compared to to Einstein bagel bros, so definitely come give them a try and support local !

Found this place on TikTok and glad that I decided to go. It gives family owned but not 100% sure. There is seating available with tables. I wouldn't chill and work there but do encourage to sit and chat over a bagel and smear for sure. The staff were nice and offered general customer service. I was new to this place so I had no idea if there was go to however a gentleman in line said he was a regular and gets a sausage, egg and cheese on everything bagel so that's what I did! I also added the scallion smear which was chef's kiss. I will be back to try different combinations. Happy Yelping!

Pastrami, Egg & Cheese on Everything Bagel

Scrumptious bagels! Definitely a solid bagel spot that I felt was better than the recommended spots I hit in NYC. The richness of the bagel stands out against the already flavorful pastrami, egg & cheese in my bagel sandwich. The freshly squeezed orange juice is so refreshing. Honestly blew me away with the quality here. Bob himself was around greeting customers and up-keeping the cleanliness of the spot. Friendly service. No line on an early Thursday morning. Oh, and they have the previous day's bagels for sale at a discount. I will be back and will recommend this to anyone looking for a bagel spot.

Bread on sale for $1

Finally had the opportunity to try the Famous Bagel Bobs! I noticed a lot of reviews on customer service not being the best here, and they were right! I ordered an everything bagel turkey club with avocado, except the woman at the front almost gave me an "all the way plain bagel"? And forgot my avocado. The only reason she didn't get my bagel wrong is right before she started assembling my club, she asked me again, "You want an all the way plain bagel, right?" M'am, I said, "Can I get an everything bagel turkey club with avocado" Where did you hear plain bagel? Don't say "got it" when you clearly don't got it. And my avocado was still forgotten Bagels are good, but to drive out there from my area to get a simple order wrong killed my motivation to come back here. If you live in the area, the convenience is great! There's definitely a sense of community here, which is nice, but Customer service needs work on On another note, it was nice that they had bread for $1.00. You can get a great deal on bagels and other breads.

It's good, but not drive 35 minutes good. Service was great, truly. And to be fair, it was almost 11 by the time I got there, so naturally all the best flavors were already sold out. The space is tiny and cozy, and it's tucked in an industrial office looking area, so I was definitely confused when I pulled up. But once you're inside, it's cute and welcoming. Food was good. Service was good. Not much to complain about, just not something I'd travel across the city for again unless I was already in the area. Overall, worth trying at least once

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and a breakfast sandwich made on a quality bagel is unbeatable. I've had some of the best bagels on the East coast and when a NYC native told me about Bagel Bob's, I had to come check it out. From what I understand, this is their new and improved location located near I10 and 610. Having some errands to run in the area made it to be the perfect time to try this place out. It's kind of tucked away and hidden off Post Oak in a business park of sorts. I came on a weekend so Bagel Bob's seemed like the only place open which made parking a breeze. I came mid morning and underestimated the popularity of this place. The line was long but moved at a steady pace. The inside space is pretty small and tables are tight. Luckily seats regularly opened up so I got to enjoy my breakfast hot and fresh. The wait allowed me to see what they had to offer. They have a couple of display cases full of pastries, deli meats, salads, etc. Things you would expect at a deli. I came for a breakfast sandwich, but there are all kinds of options here. Their bagels come in all the typical flavors and they have all kinds of spreads like plain, scallion, veggies, strawberry, blueberry, jalapeno cheddar and cinnamon. In addition to the all day breakfast sandwiches, you can also get lunch like egg salad, chicken salad, tuna, ham, turkey, roast beef, and pastrami. It was early, but I saw they have a pizza bagel and good ole Hebrew National hot dogs as well. With the owner being a NY native, I thought I would see some pork roll or Taylor ham, but regular ham was the offering along with bacon, sausage, and turkey sausage. I got a sausage, egg and cheese on a on a plain bagel. It took a bit to come out, but it was expected with the amount of customers steadily coming through. The food came out hot and fresh. The bagel exceeded my expectations as it was as close to a NYC bagel as I have had in Houston. They hand roll, boil and then bake them to perfection here. The outside was crunchy while the inside was soft and pillowy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I washed it down with fresh squeezed orange juice. It was a little too pulpy for my liking so I'd probably skip that next time. If you're looking for quality bagels like you would get in New York, Bagel Bobs takes the crown in Houston so far. I will most definitely be back.

Ham, egg, cheese on everything bagel
Lynn L.

These bagels are wonderful. The crust is slightly crisp, inside not too chewy and dense. I got a ham, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. It tasted so good and was filling. It only a few minutes until my order was ready. There's lots of parking outside and inside was clean and cute with nyc signs on the walls. There's so many bagels and cream cheese to choose from. I will love to return.

Cheese egg and steak bagel
Christine L.

Passed by Post Oak and stopped by for a cheese and steak bagel for breakfast. Pluses 1. Plenty of parking 2. Plenty of bagels and smears 3. Indoor seating 4. Calm music 5. Cheese egg and steak bagel so chewy just like in Brooklyn in a bite, brings back great memories 6. Friendly and efficient service Areas to improve Nothing - wish I could find me some biali tho. Highly recommended!

Salmon on ET
Sandra K.

I have been wanting to try this place out and finally got the chance after popping by Awty. I got the everything bagel with salmon. First of all it was an overwhelming amount of cream cheese and the bagels were too hard. Made me sad because I've really been looking for an awesome bagel place. Everyone inside was very nice. Parking is behind as in not where the patio is. Maybe I'll try something else the next time but it didn't blow my mind.

That's a serious mixer

Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!

Beware parking here at busier times - when I visited on a Saturday at 1:30pm it was mayhem. On entering, I saw an array of desserts and savory items. I decided to also pick up a savory kolache-type pastry (I never got the name of it) and the cake! The employee was quick and helpful - she located the cake, showed me the design and lettering to make sure it was ok before I left. The cake was a huge hit! We loved the light sponge cake with layers of whipped cream which were light and not too sweet. Then layer of cherries was lovely. The fruits on top were fresh and nicely arranged. The appearance was gorgeous as well, with chocolate shavings delicately arranged on the outside. We were not too impressed by the kolache. I was also able to try their pandan cake slice on another visit and loved the flavoring, lightness of the cake and the icing was very tasty. I will definitely be coming back here for more cakes in the not too distant future!

The blueberry cream cheese danish had a healthy and generous amount of blueberries. It was flaky, and the cream cheese flavor was not overwhelming or artificial. The spinach pastry was also flaky like the others and had a good spinach and cream flavor. I also had a bite of my friend's cinnamon kouign-amann, but it was not as good as the others and was a bit on the drier side.
