Best bagel in Kettering - bar none! Will def return for early start days. Bagel Sandwich with lox & special cream cheese.

First stop at Barry Bagels and the whole experience was positive. There was a wide selection of bagel varieties. The bagels were freshly made. The toasting process resulted in a crispy bagel skin with a warm chewy interior. Be sure to try the honey-brown sugar cream cheese. It yielded many Tim's by fist-timers in my group. Well done to the staff. They were helpful in the ordering and efficient in the check out process. read more

holy crap these bagels are delicious. seriously. so good. they have vegetarian options which is awesome. also the mac n cheese is to die for read more

This was my 3rd visit, via carry out. All 3x, I've gone on a Saturday around 10:30am, as it's on my route back home...so it gets pretty busy! But, the employees move through the line, as quick as they can. The first time I did carry out...my son and I got the eggels. They were seriously SO good!!! The 2nd time we did carry out, we got a 1/2 dozen bagels and cream cheese. This 3rd time, (won't b the last).--My teen son and I got the reubens. We got them hot, so the cheese was melty & our bagels, toasted. Mmmm. These sandwiches did not disappoint. Actually, nothing of theirs has disappointed, thus far. Their bagels are what sets them apart, though. Especially, here, in the Dayton area. They have (a bit), of that "East Coast" chewy texture. Like a bagel should have! Their macaroni salad is also really good...medium sized shells w a mayo/mustard base, celery, and onions. Not drowning in mayo. But, not dry, either. It's perfect! They have a few sides to choose from. They also offer a couple of soup options and chili, lots of chips, and massive cookies. My boys loved the cookies! read more

I liked this place when they first opened but now every time I go in they are out of everything I wanted a hot ham & cheese & what I got is a Poor excuse for a bagel.. I wouldn't even feed this to my dog.. get it together people or your employees are going to put you out of business.. this is such poor excuse for food..I will never recommend or go here again..I'm very upset with the way my food was done..you really don't even deserve one star maybe four shits.. think twice before you go back I know I will never be back & I will tell everyone not to go I was so wrong.. read more

Barry Bagels - Sorry excuse for food - Bagels Near Me - Kettering, Ohio

Definitely my favorite bagel shop in Dayton. The bagels are consistently tasty, and the customer service is wonderful. If that's not enough, they donate their unsold bagels to a local soup kitchen. Do yourself a favor and give this shop a try. read more

So far I've had Barry Bagels 2 times and so far it's pretty good. I'm a bit confused about the bagel flavors though. The garlic bagel has sesame seeds and the onion bagel has poppy seeds. Bit deceiving. The eggel sandwich was pretty tasty. I got it on the everything bagel and the everything bagel was soooooooooo salty. Beware! I like it but I don't love it. read more

Great variety, friendly staff and the BEST locally made bagels in the area! You can watch them as they're being made.

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I have had in a while (egg, bacon, cheddar on a toasted cheese bagel).

Delicious bagels, delicious cream cheese. However the execution is weird. I always order the same thing, half of the employees make it with a normal amount of cream cheese, half of them act like it is coming out of their check. So half of the time you don't really get what you pay for since the layer of cream cheese is spread as thin as you would expect butter to be. A lot of bagel shops overload cream cheese and you have to ask for half the amount. Barry's doesn't have that problem. They either give you a normal amount or else they spread a layer transparently across the bagel. It's 50/50. A bagel with cream cheese will fill me up at around 500-600 calories, but a plain bagel with a half teaspoon of cream cheese is 300 calories and now I am starving still and full of carbs lol. I still go there because their food is that good, would actually rather them raise their prices than cut corners this way. read more

Wonderful food and amazing staff! I love the cheddar jalapeño bagel and the corned beef is phenomenal.

Good chewy bagels with full flavored whipped cream cheese. And they are Freshly made on location.

Nice service and great food. I tried the corn beef and my brother tried the pastrami and both were great. The meat was high quality and all the bagels seemed to be made in house. I ate it on a jalapeño bun and it was spicy but I wish they added more jalapeños for a bigger kick. Their drinks were nice and they offered cream soda which is somewhat rare. Their prices are a little expensive. It was $30 bucks for three of us to get chips, sandwiches, and a drink. I kind of get it but this seems more like a treat than a weekly type of thing. read more

Shout out to Jen, the franchise owner. I stopped in today from Mason and ordered a bagel toasted with cream cheese and a dozen bagels to go. Then I realized I'd left my wallet at home! She graciously allowed me to leave and call her with my credit card. This was my first time here and the bagels and cream cheese are amazing! I will be back for sure! read more

Very friendly and the cheddar jalapeno bagel very good. Didn't have a listing of breakfast bagel sandwiches. So I asked and they can make anything you want. The individual suggested a Farmer's Omelet, I got it with Havarti cheese the sandwich was well worth it. read more

The bagels are very fresh, you can tell they're made with quality ingredients. The service was great also, I will definitely be back.

This place is so dirty and gross every single time i have been in here. Food all over the floor and every table. The staff is rude

So this place has very tasty bagels and the lox is amazing, BUT the teenaged staff needs to seriously be trained on how to handle food properly. I have witnessed so much that almost made me leave without getting food but the dang lox is too good. The kids touch their hair, face, and clothes all while wearing gloves and then go straight to touching the food. Luckily I didn't witness the people making my food do that the two times I've been here. read more

Tried this place for the first time. I got the chicken salad with onion bagel. The bagel was very fresh and toasted just right. The chicken salad was good but nothing fancy which is fine with me. The prices were fair and the staff was very friendly. read more

One thing is for sure if you like food as much as I do you will love Barry Bagels. I don't write a lot of reviews because I don't think a lot of people read them, but this was definitely one worth writing. I've had a few bagels for sure, but I had no idea they could be as fresh and soft as what Berry Bagels puts out. There was a study line of people still going in as I sat in the parking lot eating my bagel @9:40am. Let me keep this shorter then I want to and say Fresh Fresh Fresh! read more

Great bagels!! You can see them make them on site :). Lots of meat and toppings, I could only eat half my sandwich. They were a bit unorganized but it was also a little busy read more

We were excited to see another bagel shop in the neighborhood.... we gave it a try on their bagels.... it's okay! Nothing special about it. HOWEVER!!!!! This place serve sandwiches, soup, and salad too! So I will have to give another try on other stuff. Overall the service was as good as expected. The place is in order and clean.....It's small but still have a few booth for seating. I was very surprised that I need to wait in line at 7:40 on a Saturday morning to place my order! Because at the other chain bagel store, I never have to wait when I go around the same time. So that's a good sign. For a new place open less than a month, I think they are doing a good job!! Definitely trying a breakfast sandwich next time. read more

Finally tried out the new bagel spot. Initial impression, surprised at how small the place is. Very limited menu. Extremely slow service. Food was ok if you dont mind cold cuts on so so bagels. I miss the old bagel cafe that was on the corner of far hills and stroop. There you could get you sandwich grilled. I will most likely not be back instead I will visit Panera up the street. Last thing, I had a bagel with turkey and swiss cheese and a small fountain drink and it cost more than $10 ! Really ? read more

The best ever! The bagels are fresh and the amount of cream cheese is perfect! My husband ordered the jalapeño cheddar bagel BLT and it's absolutely perfect. This is definitely a staple! read more

Bagels were fresh and good. Got the eggel with bacon on asiago bagel and husband got sausage on everything bagel, both were good! We also got vanilla cinnamon bagel with plain cream cheese, very good!! Will return again. read more

Ever since Bagel Cafe closed there has been a need for a good bagel shoppe. Since Barry's opened up we finally have that ! Their bagels, matza ball soup and sandwiches are stupendous ! read more

I picked the "Rare Roast Beef" for lunch with one of Dave's cookies and it was Fantastic. The reason I keep coming back is that the manager Jonathan is so welcoming. He interacts with all the customers and makes sure we get our food good and fast. I wish I lived closer. read more

I cannot comment on the food as I never stay to eat. The food looks predictable, and they do have lox. I also agree with previous reviewers that the staff could be better trained - perhaps they ought to provide them with better incentives (higher pay?). But the bagels: right on the money and far better than any I ever had at the Bagel Cafe. A most welcome addition to the Dayton area. read more

Takes them 45 plus minutes to make 3 Bland sandwiches. Not worth a second of your time. You could be the only person in the store and they will still tell you your order will take 20 minutes. Terrible manager and terrible staff. 0 stars. read more

Grew up in Toledo and ate at Barry's all the time!! So excited it's in Dayton. Love the large portions of meat, but especially like the option to get a junior size! My favorite combination by far is an everything bagel with vegetable ranch cream cheese. read more

What a great new breakfast or lunch option! I heard this franchise is a Toledo favorite and I'm really excited they opened in our town. Staff was friendly, store was clean, and food was delicious. Less than $4 for a bagel/egg/turkey/cheese sandwich? Sign me up! read more

This native Brooklynite has updated my review to 5 stars. Barry's Bagels is an excellent choice for NYC bagels. Flavor, texture and versatility are characteristics that set Barry's apart from anything else in the Dayton area. We regularly preorder a dozen and pick them up with a prepaid account. Bagels are East Coast. Service is Midwest friendly at it's best. Perfect combination. read more

I was excited to hear a bagel place was opening and hoping it would be a good replacement for the Bagel Cafe. Well, it isn't. I've tried it several times thinking that it would get better the longer it was open. But, no. The employees are clueless and there is no direction from management when things get chaotic and the employees are overwhelmed. And, cooking eggs in a microwave is a little odd. Why not a grill top to cook on instead of two dorm size microwaves??? Get a cook top already and get rid of the microwaves. And, meat prewrapped that is ice cold on the sandwich. Where is the freshly sliced Boars Head? Honestly, if you just copy the Bagel Cafe when it was owned by the original owner, then you will be successful. Otherwise, the place will not be around long. read more

I ordered an egg, ham and cheese bagel. The middle of the egg was green/gray looking. It doesn't help that they cook their eggs in the microwave. I went to remove the egg and there was a hair on the ham. I'll never eat here again. Don't waste your money! read more

Good bagel but the place is filthy!!! If you thought the bagel cafe was dirty just wait! It's only been open 3 weeks and it's really bad!! read more

Legit, when I saw the sign go up (probably a good 6 months before the Kettering location opened, I screamed when I was driving by, whipped into the parking lot to read the sign more closely and then promptly texted my sister (she lives in Houston) to brag that we were getting Barry's Bagels in Dayton. You see we grew up near Toledo and Barry's Bagels is the bomb.com and we grew up having Barry's Bagels. Love, love them. Probably eat there once a week. The cookies are to die for. The bagels so delicious. My sister was in town for my daughter's grad party and we zipped over for late lunch, but alas I forgot they closed early on Sunday, :( boo, but it was our mistake. I actually ordered once thru a food delivery service because I really needed a bagel sandwich but just could not make myself camera ready to leave the house. Unfortunately, a pickle (I can not handle pickle juice touching my sandwich, it soaks in and make the bagel all pickley, huge struggles for me) was included in with the bagel. I called in a panic (a pickle panic) and bless him, Jonathan the manager brought me a new sandwich. Was completely embarrassed when I open the door because he recognized me (even in my pjs with my hair sticking straight up) since I was just at the restaurant 2 days earlier...thank-you my life was complete with my non-picklized bagel. You are the best! read more

Our Tuesday nite bead group ordered about 6 sandwiches. Even tho their actual delivery hours were til 2pm, they did deliver our food. They were prompt, courteous, and best of all, everyone loved their sandwiches. We all agreed the mac and cheese was really good. The egg salad was good, and those with their favorite meat and cheese sandwiches all agreed that we should do it again. I tried the potato salad and was pleasantly surprised that it tasted homemade, not like the weird yellow stuff you find in deli counters. The eggel (I had egg and swiss) was a little dry and bland, but everything else has been great. Will definitely be on our Tuesday nite and weekend crafty groups' food list. The prices are good too. read more

This place is so awesome.. the people there treat me so great and I am just the delivery guy.... the owner Jennifer is so nice and sweet and Jonathan and Cody are making great sandwiches and they all make you feel welcome.. and that's what it's about when you're out at a restaurant you want to feel welcome and you want great food and you get both here... in my opinion the best sandwich in the world is the pastrami with aioli sauce,OMG, I said to myself this must be what heaven is like...... read more

First time today. Tried two bagel sandwiches, a hot pastrami and a chicken salad. The bagels were good and the sandwiches were tasty. The only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars is the bagel is not, in my opinion a true New York style. It's missing the chewy yet soft texture of the NY Style. I'll definitely go back though as it's the best bagel in the area. read more

Great bagels and great service! I look forward to going to Barry Bagels every time I'm in Kettering. I love the sunflower bagel!
