The Classic
Emily H.

Updating my review now that Cold Smoke Bagels has moved to Mashup Food Hall. And happy to report -- the great quality bagel sandwiches transferred with them to their new home! On my recent trip to Mashup, I got the Classic Lox & Bagel, on an everything bagel with a plain schmear. The lox was great quality, and this more than hit the spot. This sandwich is comfort lunch food for me. I also love that Cold Smoke has Dr. Brown's sodas. I got the cream soda, though maybe someday soon I'll be brave enough to try the celery soda. The owner was also there when we were and chatted us up a bit. It's clear he has pride in his business. I'll definitely be back!

Egg cheese biscuit with added option of pickled red onions.
Sarah W.

We visited the relatively new venue of the Mashup Food Hall located on Jefferson Street and happy to see Cold Smoke Bagels. This was a Sunday lunch visit and my friend had the bagel with a schmear, saying it was a generous schmear enough for 3 bagels and that the bagels are on par with those in NY. I opted to change it up and try an egg cheese biscuit and added on pickled red onions, which was uniquely heavenly -- tender biscuit, fluffy eggs, gooey cheesy goodness, and crunchy sweet onions. The food hall has nearby street parking as well as a QR paid parking lot across the street. Building is easily accessible and this food stall is located midway into the venue. Staff were helpful and friendly. Looking forward to future visits.

Zaydie Egg Sandwich
Sarah E.

This place was great. They just opened in the new food hall in Nulu called mashup. The service was really nice and helpful making recommendations and answering questions. And most importantly, the food was delicious. Zaydie Egg Sandwich - fantastic. The egg was cooked perfectly. It was moist and fluffy and flavorful. The bread was delicious and the lox was great (not fishy at all). I especially loved the pickled red onion. Pastrami Lox Bagel - this was so good. Great amount of schmear, the lox was delicious, and the pickled onion again so good. This was a more refreshing taste where the egg sandwich was a warmer taste. We got an dverytuung bagel that was delicious. Bagel options: plain, everything, sesame There is plenty of seating available in the food hall.

Ahhh-mazing The Classic with red horseradish cream cheese
Amanda B.

Being from NYC, the bagel and lox capital of America, this was a LEGIT bagel spot. There are a variety of different lox and bagel combos, and they've got the preparation down to a science. I opted for the Classic with red horseradish cream cheese, and it was a very hearty portion. The bagel was excellent -- a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside -- and the lox was fresh and flavorful. The cream cheese icing on the cake was def the addition of red horseradish, which gave the sandwich an extra dose of spicy goodness. It's in Logan Street Market, which is an awesome location, and there's plenty of bench seating right in front of the bagel counter. The food came out fast and friendly, and I can't wait to go back and try some of the other combos.

Egg and cheese sandwich with avocado

This was such a delicious breakfast sandwich! The challah bread was heavenly and everything in it on par with the perfect sandwich. I also had a bite of my husband's lox on a bagel and that was a hit as well. The service was fantastic and the seating area was great!

Eggs, cheese, avocado and added tomato slices
Ali B.

I tried every bagel here and there was nothing short of 5 stars delicious, hearty, filling and fulfilling sandwiches! These are easily the BEST bagels and BEST breakfast sandwiches in Lousivlle! Each sandwich is more seductive than the other and the taste screams quality! You get what you pay for! Located inside the Logan street market so they're closed Mondays! It is family friendly and spacious atmosphere and good customer service, every bagel comes with complementary smile. Their hours should allow you to find easy street parking too! Don't sleep on this spot! Bon appetit

The worker at the register was super helpful when I couldn't decide on a bagel, and ended up choosing one of his favorites (which I've forgotten the name of!) It was pastrami lox, eggs, mustard, and pickled red onions -- and I chose a sesame bagel. It was so delicious! Really flavorful and filling, and as an egg appreciator I was a fan of the thickness of the eggs. The bagel spot is located inside of Logan Street Market, which has many different vendors so it's especially great if you're with friends that have different tastes.

Pastrami
Courtney P.

Came here for bagels on a Sunday morning. Great hospitality and fresh foods. The bagels were huge and super good!! We got the pastrami and avocado mash. Would love to come back to this cute market!

One of the worst habits of displaced New Yorkers is complaining how you can't get good (read: what they're used to) bagels/Chinese food/pizza/etc. outside of New York. My advice to my kindred is, "I agree but also I like it here so leave." Cold Smoke Bagels are what a bagel should taste, feel, and smell like. If you ask the snobbiest New Yorker in Kentucky (my sister) they will tell you that indeed these bagels are what bagels should be. This place warmed my little Sephardic heart, even if bagels aren't Sephardi. I love the pastrami lox and recommend it, highly. This is the only context in which I will eat salmon. I have gotten bagels to go, I have eaten bagels in my car and made a huge mess, I have eaten them in the market and made a moderate mess. They don't have cinnamon blueberry bagels because those are failed donuts. I don't appropriate your culture, ma'am, back off.

Holy Smoke! Fantastically authentic Jewish comfort food unlike anything you will find in town. Our family of 5 rolled in for breakfast on an uncharacteristically slow morning at Logan Street Market. Lucky for us- the owner promptly took our orders and filled our bellies with the most delicious food. The bagel sandwiches came out deliciously toasted (mine was extraordinary - scrambled egg, avocado, pastrami lox on an everything bagel). Do yourself a favor and add CSB to your breakfast and lunch rotation.

Veggie sandwich with light vegan cream cheese
Erin K.

Great location in Logan Street Market! Parking is street parking, or a open space lot down the block. Plenty of indoor seating. I got the veggie sandwich with light vegan cream cheese on an everything bagel. Delicious and kept me full for hours. My favorite bagel shop in Louisville!

When your craving something fresh, cold, filling, and amazingly delicious look no further! Located in Logan Street Market Cold Smoke Bagels is a great place to have an amazing Salmon Lox Bagel. If you can't tell in the pictures it is massive! I had to save some for later cause it was a lot of food! The salmon tastes perfectly delicious, the bagel was filled with a great amount of scallion schematic, slices of tomatoes, green onions all on a crispy doughy everything bagel! Now my only thing is that It was a bit on the saltier side and that's because I didn't realize that the salt of the bagel, plus the taste of the schmear and the lox would all together but to salty. Now I know for next time to go either with a different bagel or a different schmear!

Platter!
Jeremy L.

'Ats what I'm talking about. Look at this beautiful platter. Tastes as good as it looks. Plenty for two. Micro greens under those tart pickles.

I ordered the shrimp and grits, and without exaggeration, they were the best I've ever had. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the balance of textures throughout the dish was incredible. Every bite had the perfect amount of crunch, flavor, and toppings. Nothing felt overwhelming or out of place. It was one of those meals where you find yourself slowing down just to enjoy every bite. Even the water deserves a mention. It was clean, crisp, and refreshing. If it came straight from the tap, I would have never known. It's a small detail, but it speaks to the overall dining experience when even something as simple as water stands out. The service was great, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. It's easy to see why this restaurant has built such a strong reputation. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 comes down to accessibility. As a person with a disability, parking can make or break a dining experience. Unfortunately, there was no handicap parking available, and there were no nearby parking spots open when I arrived. I ultimately had to park in a hotel lot about a block away, which cost $25 for just two hours. Not only was the cost frustrating, but the additional distance was challenging given my mobility needs. The food was phenomenal and absolutely worth trying, but I do hope accessibility becomes part of the conversation for future guests. For those without mobility concerns, this may not be an issue, but for disabled patrons, it's something important to consider before visiting.

"Down on the corner Out in the street…read moreWilly and the poorboys are playin' Bring a nickel, tap your feet" (Creedence Clearwater Revival) Believe it or not, there's a section of downtown Louisville known as Whiskey Row. The Corner restaurant is smack in the middle of Whiskey Row and you won't be disappointed when I tell they sell over 90 different bourbons. The interior is an eclectic mix of tables, chairs, sofas and seating nooks. Some of their space is shared with the Aloft Louisville Downtown hotel, a Marriott boutique hotel. We grabbed two seats at the bar and had two cocktails and two salads for lunch. Our drinks were a Pomegranate Mule ($13.00) with Pomegranate, ginger beer, vodka, and lime, and a regular Margarita. I had a Chicken Cobb Salad ($15.00) with chicken, romaine, deviled eggs, avocado, charred sweet corn, cherry tomato, radish, pickled onion, sunflower seeds, ranch, lemon drizzle. It was excellent, but the Deviled Eggs were missing and replaced by avocado slices. My traveling companion had a Classic Caesar ($13.00) with Romaine, Caesar dressing, parmesan croutons, and crispy kale. She added Chicken for a $6.00 upcharge. The Corner is "dog friendly" and we were thoroughly entertained by the antics of a Great Dane and Bulldog as they interacted. Our server was fantastic, and I'm sorry I missed her name, although I did take a few photos of her mixing and shaking some cocktails.

Really lucked out that I was able to snag one of the few curbside spots out front, but this was a 7 PM weeknight. There are pay parking lots nearby. Decided on the Smokehouse Sampler $36 to make everyone happy. This is easily enough food for several meals unless you're starving and/or a committed carnivore. The sampler included 4 ribs, pulled pork, tender sliced brisket, a quarter of dark roasted chicken, and andouille sausage links. This menu item does not include any specific choice of sides, but does have 2 sauce dips, fried onion, pickles, onions, and bread tucked into the order. Chose 2 separate orders for sides $6 each of succotash (smoky goodness with bits of roasted corn, Lima beans, tomato, green beans, onion) and fried okra (spicy crunchy coating and some whole okra in the mix), which thrilled my veggie-leaning appetite. Based on quality and quantity of food, would deem this a great value and as expected comparatively to other venues. Employees were welcoming and friendly with the ordering and pickup process. Restaurant seemed well staffed and bustling with more of a downtown touristy clientele, but worth a local visit if timed correctly. Would return in the future.
