    Bellclaire with egg, cheddar cheese, and ham on a plain bagel
    Kayla F.

    I've been wanting to try this bagel place for a while and it was a good experience! I ordered the bellclaire on a plain bagel. I wanted the vegan turkey sausage on it but they were out of that so I ordered it with ham. This was the in lit downside to my experience. The cashier was kind and the other staff made my order quickly. the inside of the bagel shop is cute and trendy with nice decor. I will be coming back soon to try something else on the menu. Definitely a great spot on east GR!

    We stopped in for a quick brunch on a Saturday after walking around Reeds Lake. The Manhattan (ham / cheese / cream cheese / lettuce / tomato) sandwich was a perfect little treat! The staff was friendly and efficient, and the space is cute, clean, and there was plenty of seating options available to us when we were in.

    We visited bagel kitchen to pick up a late breakfast and ordered ahead for pickup. When arriving our order was ready earlier than expected. We got the breakfast sandwich, one with chorizo and one with bacon. They were very tasty, just a bit smaller than expected. Overall, it's a super cute cafe on a cute street and the ordering process was easy/efficient. They were out of a few bagels and cream cheeses online when we ordered, so I would suggest stopping in earlier in the morning to make sure everything is available.

    Stopped in for the first time (Saturday lunch on the go). Came out quickly. When I asked about non-dairy cream cheese they didn't have any BUT quickly presented me with their alternatives (vegan butter, out of hummus, or pesto). I really appreciated it! Ingredients were fresh, crisp, and entire "sandwich" was just what I needed. It looks like their coffee/beverage menu is pretty great too, so I'll have to come back. They had a great selection of bagel/sandwich options.

    Cranberry walnut bagel w/plain cream cheese Blueberry bagel w/ sweet cinnamon cream cheese Garlic salt bagel w/ chive cream cheese Caramel latte The cranberry walnut bagel was extremely fresh and tasted like a plain bagel with a mild fruity sweetness which was very pleasant. The garlic bagel with chive cream cheese was AMAZING. The bagel itself had a strong initial taste of garlic followed by a nice salty finish. The best way I can describe it is it's like eating a pretzel that has extra salt from the bottom of the bag. The chive cream cheese paired with it really really well. I loved these bagels and would come back again especially considering how cheap they are (only $3!!!).

    Located in the downtown Gaslight Village area of East Grand Rapids, Bagel Kitchen is one of the newest spots in the area for a bagel fix. Nate and I were running some errands on a weekend recently and we stopped in for a quick breakfast. The decor inside is bright and cheery, which was great on a cold winter day. They showcase work from local artists inside the cafe, which I always love. The menu includes five sandwich options, hot and cold coffee drinks, 11 bagel flavors, and six spread options. I ordered the Bellclaire with bacon (+$1.50 upcharge) on a cheddar bagel, and Nate got the Ramona on a sesame bagel. The Bellclaire is your basic egg, cheddar, and spread - I went with the recommended chive cream cheese, but I'm sure you could switch it up. The Ramona is a lighter option with cucumber, tomato, lettuce (lettuce not listed on the online menu), and vegetable cream cheese. Our food was made quickly and the presentation was good - easy to take on the go or sit and relax inside. It wasn't too busy so we chose to ate there. I enjoyed the Bellclaire, especially the chive cream cheese which gave it plenty of flavor without being overpowering. The amount of cream cheese was generous, unlike some other reviews I saw. The bagel itself was pretty toasted, a little more toasted than I prefer, but the flavor of the bagel was good. The Ramona was super messy and difficult to eat, with all the toppings sliding around and out of the sandwich with each bite (my main complaint with bagel sandwiches) - a little less spread may have been useful here, or maybe the option to have it on the side would be the way to go next time. While messy, it was still tasty - light and fresh with crisp cucumbers and lettuce. In addition to our bagel sandwiches, we got a drip coffee and a peppermint mocha - both tasty! The peppermint mocha was creamy and not too sweet. They serve locally owned Schuil coffee at Bagel Kitchen. We even bought a bag of discounted holiday blend to take home, which was a fun treat. To be honest, I am not a huge bagel lover, but I'm glad we stopped in and I did enjoy the flavors we experienced - I just prefer a less messy sandwich. If we're in the area again around breakfast, I'd definitely stop by. There seem to be limited breakfast options in the downtown EGR area, so this is a great addition to the city.

    When a New Yorker hears about a new bagel joint opening up you KNOW a visit is happening! Bagel Kitchen, in the Wealthy Street foodie enclave, is a bright, cheery space with tin roof tiles exactly like Yonah Shimmel's knish bakery. The 0640 smell of fresh bagels is just the greeting I needed, and the daily brew (this morning, Peak of Andes) is enough to get me through the menu. Sadly, no Nova Scotia lox nor capers to be found; this is a different clientele. (Lots of kids from the nearby high school come by.) Rather than an omelette on a bagel, I opt to go basic - it's all about free bagels, after all. The open-faced everything bagel, toasted well, with chive schemer that arrives (very quickly) is GREAT! Strong flavors, crispy on the outside and soft, chewy, and seasoned inside. I'm savoring the coffee as I write this, and as it cools there absolutely no bitter tang at all; drinkable down to the bottom. Thank you, brewers. Would I prefer the music be NYC local AM station, several copies of the Times be lying around, and lox, capers, Bermuda onions, and herring salad be here too? Of course, but this works too. Highly recommended for morning wake up, and if'n you need a PB&J bagel, the afternoons too!

    Bellclaire with bacon on an everything bagel
    Kyle V.

    Stopped in for a breakfast sandwich with my wife and daughter. The menu only has five sandwiches to choose from. My wife and I each got the Bellclaire and I added bacon to mine. Their menu says, "add bacon +7" but that's just the new total, it isn't actually $7 to add bacon, considering the sandwich is only $5.50. The sandwiches were both very good and the atmosphere is a cute little coffee shop with outdoor seating on the sidewalk. The staff was very friendly and our food was ready quickly. My disappoints come from them not having sausage, the bagels are pretty small, and they don't offer any juice or soda that isn't Brixx. I get the whole, "support local" thing but some other options to drink would be great.

    Charming little breakfast spot. Stopped in to grab a fresh bagel sandwich. I ordered the Bellclaire. Staff were friendly, food was good and the cafe provided a small hometown feel. Want to go back and try the Cinnamon bites, they looked delicious.

    Okay bagels. I've been here twice now. This last time I got the rosemary salt with herb schmear. The bagel was a little chewy and the schmear wasn't that great. Oddly my wife got a garlic bagel with chive soread and her bagel was amazing. Not chewy and good taste. The bagels are certainly the smallest I've ever had from a bagel shop, I venture to say mini bagels. Worth a try for something different. Overall, consider trying

    We heard about this cute little place in East GR, and had to give it a try. I was immediately impressed with the staff, who were kind, welcoming, and attentive. We tried the Bellclaire with bacon and the Manhattan bagel sandwiches. The Bellclaire was delicious, but be sure that you pick the everything bagel if you really want a bold, garlicky flavor. I think that's why I loved it so much! My husband really enjoyed the Manhattan too, they aren't stingy with the ham or toppings , so you get a tasty, filling breakfast or brunch. My daughter & son in law tried the cheese bagel and a plain bagel with cream cheese. They were also very happy with the favors. The only reason that I did not give 5 stars, is that the decaf French press was very bland and diluted. If you could carry a nice rich decaf, it would go a long way for those caffeine sensitive customers! I appreciate that it was made fresh though..that's always a plus!

    Bellclaire + bacon
    Katie B.

    I have been waiting for a bagel company like this for a while to come in the area. Bagel Kitchen is a cute, bagel and coffee shop right in the downtown area of EGR. We ordered in advanced and had it all ready to pick up by the time we were there. The Bellclaire + bacon was good, but nothing special really about it. I loved the onion chive cream cheese as an addition to the sandwich, but it was lightly spread and it seemed to be just a plain bacon, egg, cheese bagel sandwich. The cheddar bagel was AMAZING, and honestly worth the trip for just bagel itself. I ordered a cheddar bagel with veggie cream cheese, and again, there wasn't a lot of cream cheese put on the bagel. I highly recommend putting the cream cheese on the side so you have enough for the sandwich. Also, was hoping to add both ham and bacon to the bellclaire but that wasn't an option when ordering online, maybe it's possible in the store. Definitely worth checking this place out if you love bagels like I do!

    Sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese!!! Yum

    I just got my hair done at Foil with Jenna (not me: we have the same name) and decided to walk across the street to support a new business: Bagel kitchen! I ordered a Sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese. Tastes great. I would order again! Can't wait to come back another day and try the Ramona (cucumber, tomato, & veggie cream cheese on a sesame bagel)! Quick service Clean Kind cute decor and music

We arrived right at open on Saturday morning as they seem to sell out pretty quickly. I would recommend pre-ordering the week leading up if you can't get there early. We went with the BEC on a cheddar everything, spicy boy on a cheddar jalapeño bagel and a hash brown on the side - YUM. The bacon egg and cheese was our winner, but each item was delicious. The everything cheddar might be my new favorite bagel in Grand Rapids! The spicy boy did pack a punch and did live up to the name, with a lingering heat. Those who love spice would be big fans.

They are only open on Saturdays 8-1pm, and I used to live farther away and it would've been difficult to make the trip to Eastown, but currently I'm walking distance to Lake Dr. It's a small store with about 3 tables inside, so mostly for takeout. I was expecting a line at 9am, but there were only a few people ahead of me! They do open advanced online ordering, which may help with the foot traffic. I ordered 3 bagels - everything, asiago, and za'tar ($8 for 3). They were out of sesame, and I got the last za'tar bagel. I wanted to make my own breakfast sandwich at home, so I didn't try their sandwiches or cream cheese this time. I also ordered a vanilla oatmilk latte from Toro Coffee (~$6), which had a pop-up stand inside as well. The bagels almost look "overbaked/overcooked," but they really just have that nice crispy exterior and fluffy inside that bagels are supposed to have! Being from the East Coast, I've complained a lot about there not being good bagels in Grand Rapids - but this is easily the best spot I've tried! I will come here again to pick up bagels for a special occasion!

Parking is nonexistent, so we decided to hit the drive through and eat at a local park. If you have a large vehicle (truck, full-size SUV, etc...) be very careful in the drive through. It is quite tight. Luckily we had my wife's Blazer, which was no issue. Service was pleasant, polite and fast. As for the food, it wasn't great. I ordered the Denver Bagel Omelette Sandwich. It had a cold Asiago bagel with a piece of ham, scrambled egg, green pepper slices and melted cheese. I think the cold bagel with the warm egg and melted cheese threw it off. It was just a weird warm/cold combo and I was expecting a bit of crunch from the bagel, but was left with a soft, blah texture. My wife ordered the Smoked Salmon Classic Bagel Sandwich. She had the same experience. While she expected a cold bagel with hers, she told me her salmon had zero flavor. She was expecting, salt, lemon, something. She ended up eating the bagel and cream cheese without the salmon. The coffee was okay and look, we are not spoiled high class restaurant critics. We just expect that food will have flavor and some thought put into what is being served. We paid $35 for two bagel sandwiches and two medium coffees. The food just wasn't worth a premium like that. Too many other places to try to come back.
