They only take cash or check... there goes a star off the bat. I'm sorry but in this day and age that's just annoying. We just came in to grab a half dozen bagels. The bagels were good but not amazing. Also kind of expensive in my book, a half dozen bagels to go (you get 7) are $7. read more

Bagel Express is amazing! Fantastic New York style bagels. I love to get there right when they open and the bagels are still warm. Best thing ever is their cream cheese! It is homemade and they have different flavors, my favorite is the raisin walnut. These guys are the real deal they even supply Kenny and Ziggy's with some of their products! THEY NOW ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS!! Do not pass this place up!! read more

Went To get a bagel and forgot a mask, while ordering the owner came up to me and told me "to get the f*** out" incredibly unprofessional and will never be back. read more

Bagel Express - Not the first time something like this has happened... - Bagels Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

Went here for the first time to use my Groupon before it expired, and I am impressed! Staff are friendly and the ambiance smell is fantastic. I ordered the cheese steak on bagel bread and a black and white cookie. The cheese steak was decent, nothing extraordinary but the cookie was amazing! It's soft like a cake instead of the standard hard cookie. Whoa Nelly! Definitely want to come back and try other items. Pro tip: Come early! They open at 6:30am on weekdays and their stuff sells out fast! I got there at 11am and half their inventory was gone. read more

I have not had a bagel this good since I was back home in Michigan!!! The everything bagel is spot on....they all are! As for only taking cash, good for them!!!! If a business can stay afloat without resorting to taking credit cards...that is a business to support! Two free bagels to every dozen!!! How cool is that!!! My only complaint is they do not sell cheese bagels. Those are one of our favorites and we were saddened to find out they do not make them, although I do understand that the cost to make cheese flavored is probably much more and maybe there is not the demand here like there is in the north. We will be back.....many more times!! So thankful we stopped in! read more

Bagel Express - Blueberry yummy goodness! - Bagels Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

I usually love the bagels here, but today the girl serving sneezed into her arm and then proceeded to insert that arm deep into the bin to grab two bagels, and then the used the same unwashed arm to put them in the bag. It was disgusting, and suffice it to say I threw the bagels away. read more

The absolute BEST place ever. The sweetest people who serve the greatest food. My go to is a blueberry bagel with cream cheese toasted of course, and I cannot explain how delicious it is! It tastes best when you eat it right away and they are very generous with the cream cheese! I also have gotten their breakfast bagels before and those are delicious as well. Their bagel dogs are also a super fun and easy snack for the road. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone! read more

They don't take credit card?!? What kind of place doesn't take cards anymore? Pay the process fee, get more customers.

Delicious bagels. Outstanding cream cheese. Hearty bagel dogs. Crumb cake to die for! On top of that, they get their pastrami and corned beef from Kenny & Ziggy's Deli, Houston's heartbeat (and clogged are that) of deli food. We loaded up on bagels and cream cheese, but I can't wait to return for a corned beef on marble rye. Yum. read more

Must be new owners. The prices are INSANE. Want a bagel? 1.50, great price. Add schmear and it's 5 bucks. Bagel breakfast sandwich? 10-14 bucks. Insane. read more

This place supplies the bagels for a lot of businesses in the area, try the everything bagel it is great!

Live pretty far from the area but heard the bagels were good. Got there maybe an hour before they closed, bagel selection was limited of course. Was set on their blue berry but their wheat everything with their shmear was delicious, the quality of the bagel really won me over. We also got a orange cranberry muffin, thought it weird till I tried it. Was the perfect combo of sweet and tart. Will be back. read more

We found Bagel Express the other day while driving through Sugar Land and of course HAD to stop because it would be considered impossible to pass up a BAGEL!!! Oh my goodness ! Their bagels are incredible ! I got the whole wheat and the everything :)) Their bagels are soft and not too thick to where you can't bite through it . Super yummy ! The staff was also really nice which is sometimes hard to come by . Would definitely go back again :) read more

Visiting the area & stop by this gem in search of a good bagel. We were greeted by the owner who brought great conversation. The food was fantastic -- handmade bagels and spread! A clean environment with friendly service. Family owned for over 30 years. If you're looking for a good breakfast or lunch sandwich, come check out this place! read more

I was so excited to try this place out. I had placed my order then they told me they only take cash!!??!! Ruined my morning -.-.

Not a fan honestly. I've lived in New York for a long time and the bagels are out of this world. I can't say the same for this place , the bagels weren't fluffy, they were very cheap with the turkey I ordered on my bagel, and they for didn't have any chip selection which is essential in New York sandwich spots. The drinks as well. Not many selections . read more

The bagels are good but employees are very bad attitude. Obviously they are not morning people. Beside for bagel you have to pay CASH ONLY. so beware of that. Smells of cooking oil is everywhere. You can't find paper towels in the bathrooms. That's all. read more

Wow, this is where bagels are born. There is a story of a Jew that started a Bagel place in NYC.... he moved to sugar land. This is his place and I love it. Fantastic NYC style food that makes your mouth water! Only bring cash though, no checks or plastic. I trust in all humanity to try this place and you will love me for recommending it. Go there and be happy! P.S. Eat the everything Bagel with bacon and eggs.... its magical read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. They serve the best, most fresh bagels and sandwiches. I'm a sucker for the bacon egg and cheddar cheese on a toasted everything bagel... Mouthwatering. The cheese is thick and perfectly melted, the bacon always crispy. Service is fast, but call ahead if you are really in a hurry. And be sure to bring cash or check.. No credit cards accepted. read more

It's a local bagel shop on Highway 6 and Dulles. Fast, convenient, and pretty tasty. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but a solid spot if you want a quick, cheap breakfast. You can get bagels plain or as a base for a breakfast sandwich. Note, it's cash only, so come prepared! read more

I'm from North Jersey and love great bagels. I hope this isn't racist or anything but I also heard that Bagel Express was Jewish-owned and had to stop by for breakfast... (It is a little absurd that I was going to type out "Similarly, sushi places that are Japanese-owned are generally better than non Japanese-owned sushi places...") I had an Everything Bagel with cream cheese. The bagels are a great size and delicious. I got way too much cream cheese on my bagel though. Slathered most of it off with a napkin and still had more-than-average cream cheese. One thing I wasn't crazy about was that I couldn't find the prices for the bagels. Not that it matters but they had just about everything else listed on the walls except a bagel with cream cheese. I might have been looking at the wrong wall though. They serve A LOT of stuff-- this isn't just a bagel, cream cheese, lox, pickled herring place. Cash only place. Nice service. Clean and deceptively spacious. Will be back. read more

If you're not looking for this place you will definitely miss it...this place is a hidden jewel on hwy 6... What brought me here was the living social coupon that I purchased a few months back to spend $20 there...I had one problem... The prices were so low, I had a hard time using up my coupon! :o) I did order breakfast with coffee, which was made to order and really good.... The place also sells tuna, chicken, egg, and white fish salad, I purchased half pint of the tuna, egg, and chicken and tried them later in the day, I recommend the tuna salad, its really good! The egg and chicken was a bit bland for my taste, but wasn't bad.... So overall, I would visit again, the place is nice, clean, diner-style breakfast and lunch... Oh, P.S....they do not accept credit cards....I know people see this as a negative, but when the majority of their items are under $10 you should have atleast that on you...yes we live in the 21st century, but people forget that when businesses offer the option to use credit cards, the extra expense is passed to us customers.... Getting off my soap box...I know I teach, but my business degree kicks in from time to time... read more

Food is wonderful as usual. Glad to see mask are no longer required. It made me really sad to be refused service. I'm glad things are getting back to normal. The reuben sandwich is amazing. read more

I go to Bagel Express because Barry is from NY and they make authentic NY bagels. My usual bagels are there and they have the breakfast specials. A 2 egg any style and a breakfast burrito. I have had the egg and cheese burrito twice. Darren does a good job at the grill. This morning my order got really messed up. I requested 2 burritos and two bagels to go. The lady who took the order brought out the burrito in an eat-in tray and a bag with the 2 bagels. I pointed out that they had mixed up my order. Then they decided to fix it. Apparently, I had paid $5.04 for a burrito and 2 bagels. So I waited and paid $3.24 for the second burrito. I did appreciate the fact that Darren made two new burritos instead of packing up the one on the tray. I did appreciate that. read more

Nice people and quick service. Had a breakfast bagel with egg and cheese. Was very taste and made really quickly. Wish they took a card and not just cash. read more

I can't believe I didn't know about this little gem in Sugar Land until recently. It's been around for 20 years! I recently saw it in a Zagat article and had to try it.. and I'm so glad I did. Their bagels are SO fresh and not too doughy or anything. I had the jalapeno bagel with cream cheese. And their florentine omelette was awesome too (no, they don't just serve bagels). I wish I could give them one more star for great ownership. My boyfriend and I were having lunch and the owner and his wife happened to be there. They were SO sweet and hilarious.. they talked to us for a long time, and the lady even made her husband go get us an extra plate and napkins because we had forgotten to ask for that since we were sharing. You can tell they're really involved in their business, and it has a charming family-owned shop charm to it! The only downside is that they only accept cash or checks... no cards (not even debit!). So.. don't forget your cash!! read more

Only my 2nd time in here, and i didn't exactly ask for anything challenging and they weren't very busy. Plain bagel w/butter Bagel dog Soda The server was friendly and quick with my food. It cost about $7 and change. The food was hot and fresh - the bagel was fluffy and tasty and I brought home the dawg cause I was full. The server even made a special trip to grab me napkins. Great service! read more

I'd been wanting to try this place out but could never wake up for breakfast but when my cousin was in town, it was the perfect opportunity. I forgot this bagel joint only takes cash but the Wells Fargo was right next to it and I happened to have my ATM card so NBD. We ordered the Weekday Special which comes with two eggs, a bagel or whatever type of bread you choose with cream cheese or butter, and hash-browns. You can add sausage or bacon for only a dollar. All in all, it was only $11 for two of these orders with coffee, and it was pretty good. I walked out with a happy and very full stomach. read more

Yikes, wanted to give this place a try. They're a brick and mortar restaurant in a very popular shopping plaza, next to fitness connection and guess what? No credit or debit no matter the amount, only CASH! if you were a food truck, I'd understand. But a real restaurant? Absolutely ridiculous. I will be back once they join the rest of society to try their bagels. read more

Authentic bagels plus a good deli grill. Just be sure to bring cash or a check book (if you have one of those...)

Great place! We discovered this place after looking for some bagels in Sugar Land. The prices are reasonable, and the food tastes great. Barry (owner) took the time to say hello at our table, very nice guy. Overall, I would highly recommend this place! read more

I have been a customer of Bagel Express for many, many years. Being from NY originally, I am picky about my bagels. B.E. does an excellent job. They boil the dough and cook on stones. The bagels are excellent. The breakfast menu is a typical deli breakfast menu. Eggs are eggs and bacon is bacon. The bagels make the difference. Grammy's tuna is also excellent. (It is my wife's favorite) I like the whitefish salad and the egg salad. I have read quite a few of the reviews and I disagree. The counter staff is always courteous and my orders are correct. If they aren't correct, they are fixed immediately. Barry and Sharon are the perfect hosts and I will be a customer for a long time. (and I always bring cash....what is the big deal with cash? Too many whiny brats on Yelp that have never run a restaurant, oy vey) read more

Good Bagels and wonderful service. Tried today for the very first time and I liked it. :) Only issue is they close early but I guess they follow the standard timing for Bagle stores. Recommended. read more

My family goes here a lot after church on Sundays and it never fails. The employees are nice, the service is fast, and the bagels are one of a kind. It's usually busy when we go but that's a good sign! Definitely a fan favorite at our house :) read more

Excellent Business. Great food! Makes me feel like I'm back in NY. Excellent service, great employees. The owner Barry is hospitable.

This place has absolutely terrible customer service. Do not come here or order from here. Find another place as this one is just not worth the stress. read more

Don't know if this was an off day. But we wanted something on the menu that they advised they no longer offer however they don't have any intention of changing the menu. I did get the Nova plate. Almost $15 for a bagel, Nova and sandwich making. Can't say I would ever go back. The cashier also advised that the food quality is dependent on who is making it that day. Very disappointed read more

This is the best bagel spot! They have great breakfast and brunch meals. I would come here everyday if I could. I love the interior it gives great east coast vibes with fantastic food. And even better owners stop by when ever you can! read more

If you're looking for Houston's best bagels, this is your place! Authentic bagels, homemade muffins, great sandwiches, and awesome atmosphere. read more
