I've driven past this shop many times, but decided to venture into Bagel Buddy's on a Thursday morning. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they accepted Apple Pay, as I'd forgotten my wallet. It's a very small, mom & pop diner-ish. You can tell it's been a family-run business for a long time and that they are beloved in the neighborhood. There's a small counter and a few booths in case you wanted to eat in. In addition to the bagels, there were also some donuts and other desserts, as well as drinks in a few coolers. They have the typical bagel offerings including plain, sesame, and salt. They also had some unique options like french toast and jalapeno cheddar. I opted for a sausage, egg, and cheese on a rosemary bagel. The sandwiches are made to order so I waited for about 8 or so minutes. My bagel sandwich was $7.28, which initially felt kind of expensive for a simple bagel sandwich, but inflation, I guess. The sandwich was warm and toasty and and bagel itself was pretty good. I didn't really enjoy the sandwich as much because of the sausage and cheese. I had asked if they had turkey sausage, but they didn't so I went with the pork. The sausage was kind of strange. It looked like it was ground sausage kind of put into a link, but not really. I was expecting a patty or smaller links, but this was not that. It was also super light so I wasn't sure if it was cooked through. This may sound weird, but it tasted too fresh for me hahaha. Like it came straight from the pig to the counter, which I hate to say, but I'm used to a more processed sausage patty. I also don't eat pork a whole lot, so it just wasn't for me. Additionally, the sandwich came with American cheese, which I'm not a fan of. I usually ask for cheddar or something else, but forgot this time. About a quarter of the way through, I took off the sausage and most of the cheese and just ate the bagel and egg. Overall, the service was friendly and fast. I love the small family feel of the place, and the bagel was good. I would likely go back for just a bagel with cream cheese or maybe a bacon sandwich, but I don't know about the sausage bagel.

Bacon, egg, and cheese on everything bagel and the Western slam on rosemary

My fiancé and I stopped at Bagel Buddy's for breakfast during our short stay in Euclid. The woman behind the counter was very friendly, the food was made quickly, and it was delicious. We ended up stopping for breakfast again the next morning on our way out of town and we got a freshly made cinnamon roll. Highly recommend!

This place is great, don't expect anything fancy. They have great breakfast sandwiches all day and also have a few lunch sandwiches. The bagels, donuts, muffins, and croissants are all made by them and are delicious. everything is priced pretty good and the lady that works there is great. its really one of those places where everyone gets to know each other. I had a simple egg and asiago cheese croissant, and it was just great.

Macaroon type mini cookies were incredibly hard to chew and had a very strange not coconut macaroon traditional type flavor and were inedible. Cruller was not dry or rubbery but otherwise unremarkable. Blueberry cake donut was moist but the blueberry flavor was artificial and strange. Sour cream donut was actually moist and had the right flavor. The cronut wasn't bad at all! Flaky without any off flavors. Chocolate cake donut wasn't bad tasting thank god but was sadly dry. They're very affordable here. It's just super duper hit or miss as far as what you get.

There was a cute sign that says "down home bakery" which made me feel so cozy and warm. The majority of the pastries are $1.75 each, which obviously feels like a steal this day and age. I tried a glazed croissant and some type of turnover. The croissant was delicious. Soft, flaky, and sweet, I also got one of their popular pizza bagels. It's kind of a loose term "bagel" more like a round ball of bread, with marinara sauce and cheese on top. It was very tasty and fulfilled a savory tooth in the morning. There was one sweet woman working the counter and I think there is another baker. Of course the place could use some upgrades, but it's always nice to step inside a great spot that's been in the neighborhood for a long time and is still standing because they offer a great product.

Their videos kept showing up on my social feeds, and every single one made this place look incredible. Last week I finally got to try it, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I'm from LA, so I'm spoiled when it comes to great food -- and we've got some seriously good bagels here -- but Nubeigel hits differently. The dough, the texture, the perfect balance of softness and chew, the spreads/shmears... everything was top tier. And then there's the staff. Everyone was welcoming, passionate, and genuinely seemed to love what they do and the people they serve. That kind of energy makes a place even more special. Absolutely recommend this spot. My only wish is that they'd open a location near me someday.

Their NY-style bagels have a signature cornmeal crust which takes it all to the next level. They have a cool, urban vibe-- the place small but cute with adequate seating, a nice merch corner, good signage, and even custom-made art by a local artist. The owner, Josh, and everyone who works there is wonderful. Everything is so thoughtful & well-executed, so there's a reason they always get glowing reviews-- they deserve 'em!

They've got a great variety of bagels, sandwiches, and schmears, so there's truly something for everyone.

You'll find interesting bagel flavors here (such as egg, cinnamon cranberry, and onion) and merch (tees, hoodies, Mish Mosh seasoning, greeting cards, and stickers). My order: - Asiago Bagel - Toasted with Smokie Salmon Schmear ($5) - Bagel was over toasted, dry, and too salty. Schmear was more like lightly whipped cream cheese, not flavorful. Barely there salmon is the best way to describe it. - Cinnamon Cranberry Bagel with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Schmear ($5) - Bagel tasted like plain bagel. Schmear very light on flavor. - Mish Mosh Bagel ($2) - Plain, not toasted. It's their version of everything bagel. I ordered this bagel because I overheard it being a popular choice while waiting for my order. It's way too salty, and I love salt. It didn't taste freshly made this morning and tasted not fully made inside. - Coffee ($2.50 for 2 small coffees): Flavorless and barely warm coffee. The menu is pretty well outlined on multiple signs at checkout. It clearly indicates up charges and premium topics. If you purchase bagels dozen, you'll get one bagel for free. Other options are sammies, bialy wheels, and bialy sticks. Most customers ordered baker dozen during my visit. Service: Service was alright. I felt a lot of pressure to order (especially as the first timer). Other guests were pretty rushed too. Checkout did not make much sense too. If you order a dozen bagels, they'll take your order in line. If you order a single bagel with schmear or sandwiches, you must go to the checkout counter and repeat your entire order. Service was quick, my order was up quickly and all customers were addressed in a timely manner. Parking: Parking lots are available in the front and the back of the store. The bagel shop is in a little strip mall area. If you're looking for a wallet-friendly bagel, this is the place to be. If you're looking for bold flavors or more standard bagel experience, it's probably best to venture out. I unfortunately personally didn't enjoy any part of my meal but appreciated the low prices.

I came to try a pizza bagel which I learned they recently stopped serving because the health inspector said they needed to be in a cooler, which this place does not have. In the brief time that I was there, several people came in for these also and were disappointed to hear the news. I ended up getting a cinnamon roll, nut roll, and brownie. The cinnamon roll was delish. I gave the other two to friends and they enjoyed them. Service was okay. The woman was slightly impatient as I asked questions. She answered them, but seemed a little annoyed. I just wasn't as familiar with the items because it seemed like there were all variations of the same things maybe with different nuts. Their shelves weren't super full by the time I got there and I am curious to try other items from them. I see that they sell cookies and pastries at a local grocery store chain, Marc's. Also appreciated that they took tap to pay, which is uncommon in such an old school place. Just gotta spend over $5.

The space is filled with beautifully curated shops and venues all under one roof, and the energy was vibrant, electric, and welcoming. People of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures were there -- it truly felt like a community gathering spot that instantly felt like home.

That said, I was disappointed by the size. For $20, I expected a thick, hearty sandwich, but this felt pretty skimpy for the price. Ordering was also a bit frustrating -- I had to repeat myself three times, and the employee taking my order had AirPods in. When your job involves communicating with customers, that really shouldn't be allowed by management. Good flavors, but between the small portion and the ordering experience, it's only 3 stars for me.
