Walked by this place and decided to try it, very happy with that decision. I may have found a new breakfast place. I was getting my car serviced and wanted food. I browsed what's available and this place popped up. I ordered the pastrami, egg and cheese on a jalapeño toasted bagel and it was great! I may double the meat and get 2 eggs next time. The pace is clean and quick. The ladies were friendly and the food cooked to order. I'd absolutely be back! read more

Anything is delicious... whoever kyle was is a genius... the staff is always so nice and friendly so it's a win win situation

This place is pretty amazing. The aroma and atmosphere were inviting and clean. The staff promptly greeted me and asked if I had any questions. I ordered the Asiago egg and cheese bagel. My order was made to order and very fresh. I'd dine here again to try their other breakfast offerings. read more

I've gone to d&r a hundred times the last few years. They have a new owner so I went to check it out. First thing I noticed is how much he hustles and how well he runs the place. Seems like he cares a lot. However, I'm posting this as a warning to anyone ordering an espresso. It says $1.90 on the menu but he rang it up as a double espresso for $2.90. It was not a double, 100% the size of a single. He said they all come as doubles and $1.90 espresso is if you want an additional extra. That wasn't consistent with the menu pricing. The cherry on top is he has a sign that says $1.00 off coffee if you order a breakfast sandwich- which I did. I was kind of testing him to see how he handled it and didn't mention it. In the end, he charged me $2.90 for a drink that was absolutely not a double espresso, when it should have been $1 off $1.90 cost $.90 cents total. I advise the owner to either change the menu price to $2.90, or actually sell doubles. The espresso is a scam, which is a shame because he bought a nice new machine which makes good drinks. Hope he fixes this, the rest is great! read more

Won't even give it a 1 star rating Place order 3 hours in advance of delivery time Get notice 20 minutes after scheduled delivery. Order cancelled. Now scrambling for lunch for 4 While delivery app says it's on its way! Worst customer service when called! read more

Admittedly, they have the best bagels in this area (that I know of). They are a little crisp on the outside but chewy inside, although not the kind you have to fight your way through each bite. They toast up wonderfully. (Heinen's bagels are horrible since switching recipes years ago. Giant Eagle has fair bagels depending on which store you go to.) HOWEVER, D&R charges almost ELEVEN dollars for six bagels? You've got to be kidding me. You can do the math for a dozen. The retort is, "well, you just said they have the best bagels". That is correct, but I will not go to the poor house so I can eat some bagels. I noted the cost at the time and did willingly pay; I was not forced at gunpoint to buy, but that may possibly be the last time. I'll be watching the price to see if they come down so I can go back, but not until then. I gave a three star rating because the bagels truly are great, but a big fat NO to the price on those things. I can be satiated by bagels acquired elsewhere, even if they are not as good as these. Unfortunate, because their big chocolate chip cookies are really satisfying as well but again, over three dollars? *** I must reiterate, that the food is very good; this review is no reflection on that. I've also gotten breakfast sandwiches there that were very tasty, but I primarily come in to grab bagels to make in my home and the economy is too in the dumpster to spend that type of money for them. read more

They call themselves a bagel shop, not sure that is correct. I have been 2 times in 2 days at 6:00 to 6:30 AM, and they are OUT of rye bagels. The only response I received was.....SORRY! How do you offer bagels and NOT have the bagels!?!?? I do hope the new owners reach out to me I would appreciate an answer! ‍ read more

Want to get yelled at for not standing in the bagel line in order to order a cup of coffee? This busy, bewildering place is worth a visit then! After ten minutes standing by the register (where the coffee and cups enticingly sit) and having order after order and "who's next" yelled to people behind and around me, I finally said "I'm next" to the cashier looking at the guy next to me. She said sharply "you need to stand over there" pointing at the bagel and sandwich ordering line." Begrudgingly she took the 15 seconds to get me a coffee. Coffee is awful by the way. It's busy enough that I assume the bagels and sandwiches are quite good. Not for me! read more

This was our first time visiting D&R bagels. We went for breakfast. The weather was still nice enough that they still had a few tables set up outside for cafe-like seating. The table got a couple items to half so we could try different things. We opted for lox, eggs and onions with an everything bagel and also a corned beef and egg bagel. Both were very good. We did order an additional cream cheese to go with the lox and eggs dish. read more

This place is awesome! My boyfriend grew up coming here and on my first visit to the city, we were so hooked that we found ourselves grabbing bagels from this place three days in a row! My first choice was the Asiago bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagel was perfectly baked, with a golden, cheesy exterior that was just the right mix of crispy and chewy, paired with the smooth and tangy cream cheese. My second time around, I tried my boyfriend's mom's go-to order: a salt bagel with chive cream cheese. Wow. This combination is something special. The salt bagel is exceptional, with just the right amount of salt to add flavor without overwhelming the palate. It pairs beautifully with the creamy, chive cream cheese. It's a classic mom-and-pop shop, where you can tell the owners are genuinely involved and deeply care about their business. Everyone we interacted with was kind and welcoming, and their hard work is evident in every bite. If you're in Cleveland and craving a bagel, DNR Bagels is a must-visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place will quickly win you over with its delicious bagels and warm, friendly vibe. read more

Ordered cold cut tray for 5, They were very accommodating instead of 4 meats I wanted double corn beef and double turkey got it, no extra cost, I also ordered pastrami extra for tray, got roast beef instead, tray suppose to come with cole slaw, didn't get it. everything else was fine, service was very good and evan offered to help me tray out to car. price also was very good, new owner may want to make sure orders are correct, would give them another try. read more

We've been going here ever since my now 13 y/o, would affectionately call it "The muffin place" when he was 4 (he used to get the blueberry muffin). It's been a Solon staple. I love their bagel sandwiches; you can customize, made to order. Cream cheese flavors are great and they have pumpkin flavor for fall! My elder children love the "Kyle", so you may want to try that. Glen is the best! He's so friendly and accommodating; 9 years later and he still says to tell me son hello. read more

Popped in to grab some lunch and decided on their Buffalo Crispy Chicken Wrap! It was the perfect amount of spiciness and the chicken was still crispy when I brought it back into the office to eat. It was a good amount of food for the price of $7. Note: you can choose the chicken to be grilled or crispy. I normally not one to grab desserts, but the offerings behind the glass case was a different story... There were a couple of cookies and I noticed a jumbo (and yes, I mean JUMBO) oatmeal raisin cookie and decided to give it a try. I would say the cookie was about 8" in diameter and that's not a normal size cookie. (Drumroll please...) That was the best oatmeal raisin cookie I have ever tasted!! It was so fresh and delicious, I honestly cannot wait to go back and get a cookie! It was so worth it for $1.90! Not sure where you can get a freshly made lunch for $8.90, but I found my place! Get tasty food and support local!! read more

D & R Bagels - Menu 11/17/2020 - Delis Near Me - Solon, Ohio

Locally owned. All fresh and great staff. Must try. Great place for locals to meet. Bagels comparable to NYC bagels. Great staff and fast. read more

This is a tough one. The food is good. Hands down bagels are fresh and delicious. The food, quality of the food, staff are all good. I have been going to these guys for years. So my review is of a veteran. Here are my issues. Cleanliness. Tables are always dirty. Even in slower times. No one is busing and cleaning tables. I clean the table when I go. It is kinda annoying because you want to sit and eat but with the tables being dirty it's difficult. My 2nd issue is not the fault of D&R. The patrons bring kids and allow the kids to run around like unsupervised hyper kids. I've seen actual running. I've seen kids standing on tables and chairs. And parents don't seem to care. It is a liability and very disconcerting for other patrons. The parents sit with friends and ignore what the kids are doing. Please stop and watch your kids! It's reflecting poorly on the business and it's not their fault you can't watch your kids. Will I go here? Yes. Do I like the establishment? Yes. Staff is nice. Prices are fair. Food is good. It's the other parts mentioned that become annoying and reflect poorly on a family business. read more

Excellent food. Great service. Hard working people focused on customer. Nice local spot!

This has been our favorite bagel spot for years! A big shout out to Roseanne for her superior customer service. She went above and beyond to make sure our meals were perfect. Best bagels around in my opinion. The breakfasts and sandwiches are delicious. Head on over for a great meal read more

Nice quiet afternoon spot to grab a quick lunch in a clean establishment. The service is good and accurate with a nice assortment of deli meats and sandwiches. read more

Fantastic bagels! Traveled here from south Florida and tried D&R. Got a bialy with nova and tomato. Is was fantastic!! My friend got a cinnamon raisin and loved it. Very clean and great fresh tasting. Made onsite daily! Clean! Staff very friendly. Highly recommend trying! read more

Still the best bagels in Solon! Staff takes your phone order and has it ready within 20 or so minutes, faster if it's just bagels. It's best to order early, they bake fresh everyday. I called at 1pm and they had run out of sesame bagels, which was not tragic because there are so many flavors. They are a breakfast/lunch place and close by 3pm I think. They are back really early to bake dozens of bagels & prep for the breakfast (to go) rush. Call them, and get something yummy. I do! read more

I'm a little conflicted, because my experience was so very dichotomous. The highs were epic, and the lows were pretty crushing. Let me explain: Ordering: get in line, decide what to eat, tell the person at the counter, join the mosh pit milling around the register to wait. Paying: once your order is ready, it arrives at the register, where you pay, grab your plate/tray/bag, and sit down to eat. Part 1: This is the way it's supposed to go, however after I ordered, I waited. And waited. And waited. My dining companions' orders had all been prepared, presented, and paid for. I asked several times and was assured my order was nearly ready. The people who came in behind me had left. Still no breakfast. I asked again, a different staff member this time, and strangely my breakfast order was nowhere to be found. I had to reorder my breakfast, twice, from two separate people. They apologized, but didn't offer any explanation. Or compensation. I did ask, and was given 2 extra bagels. Part 2: Finally my breakfast arrived. And it was delicious. Yum yum yum. My omelet was perfect - expertly cooked and folded, melty cheese oozing out with each forkful. The everything bagel with cream cheese was pure joy to devour. Great flavor, perfect chew. The moral of the story: go here. Obviously. But be vigilant about your order, because you might be the only one to do so. But totally worth it. read more

This place is consistent in it's inconsistency. They either have REALLY good bagels, or bagels that look and taste like you'd get out of a plastic bag at a chain grocery store. It's a shame, because they used to have the best bagels on this side of town, and some days that's true, but other times they turn in these over puffy, poorly textured and cooked frozen quality bagel. On their good days, they're a 4+ star place, on their bad days, I'd give them 1... so make sure to check out the bagels to see how they look before you buy them, because for some reason, on some of the days, they are absolutely terrible bagels and other days, they're pretty awesome. read more

Their typical great service has dwindled for months now. They're slow, ignore customers requests, and favor catering orders over traditional customers dining in. It's a shame as this used to be one of the last great breakfast places in Solon. read more

Depends on what you get. I agree with a previous reviewer that stated the bagels can be inconsistent. Sometimes they are the best around, and sometimes the chain bagel locations are better. I honestly still take my chances, just to support them though. The vibe reminds me of New York bagel places, know what you want and order quickly, or get out of the way. read more

Bagels used to be good (not great) and service was OK. Last few visits there have been disappointing. Food quality and selection are inconsistent; servers seem to try hard to be pleasant; store cleanliness is not good; orders that I phoned in were "lost" or wrong. read more

I've been coming here for bagels and sandwiches for years, and I cannot recommend it enough. The customer service is excellent, and there is a large menu to choose from. My favorite item to order is the bagel, egg, sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich with an iced coffee. They are always willing to customize the breakfast sandwiches as well! Be sure to try the chocolate chip cream cheese. It's one of the best breakfast/lunch spots in Solon! read more

Great people working there and serving up tasty bagels, sandwiches and more! They have a lot of bagel options to choose from and serve breakfast or lunch all day. This will be our new go-to for sure. read more

No bagels hmmmm? Bagel shop? Hmmm? That what happens when you don't watch your business.... please have bagels on Sunday.... Saturday, today, they couldn't make a bagel and cream cheese. Why you ask? Because they were closing in 30 minutes and had put everything away. If the door it states you're open then you should be open and prepared to serve customers. You should not be so worried about getting out of work that you no longer able to make a simple Bagel and cream cheese, which is supposed to be your specialty. And if you really hate your job like the young lady at the counter who couldn't find a A knife to spread the cream cheese and had to go find a plastic knife and was clearly pissed off, then you should go find a job you like. What I Got on a toasted bagel with cream cheese was an ice cold bagel with a paper thin layer of cream cheese on one side. The only reason I keep going back to D and R is they the only bagel shop and Solon. Unfortunately. Maybe someday someone will see a great market opportunity and open up a real bagel shop in our community. read more

D & R Bagels - How does a bagel shop not have any bagels? What is your business? You sell bagels right, or wrong? Where are the bagels? - Delis Near Me - Solon, Ohio

Great bagels, great service, quaint atmosphere. Location is easy to access. Dine-in or take-out.

Came here on Sunday at 11am and they hardly had any bagels left... The service was good and fast but their selection of bagels was severely lacking. Also the bagels I got to go were a bit hard and hard to cut. read more

Bagels were pretty good, the ordering/ payment is a bit confusing. The price is right, lots of teenage kids working so the service is kind of clunky and awkward. read more

Tasty bagels? Yes. Dietz & Watson meats? Yes. Good employees? NO. I get frustrated by places that serve good food but have incapable employees that translate into bad service. What is up with hiring a bunch of high schoolers who screw around and take a long time and still don't get your order correct? One didn't know which bagels they had. The other didn't know what was on a Turkey Club. And when I asked for an everything bagel I ended up getting an onion bagel. I left so frustrated with the place. read more

I had a chicken salad sandwich with veggies on a pretzel bagel. It was delicious, but I think the pretzel bun could have been browned more, as it wasn't too pretzel-like. Still tasty, though. The staff is helpful and friendly, and quick. This will be my new favorite spot! read more

Everybody needs a bagel shop in their life, and I was afraid I wasn't going to have one after moving from Toledo, but guess what! I found one. D&R was previously in a different location, and they traded up and into the plaza. I have only been to the new location. I have to assume they had a system and layout that was already in place and carried it over to the new store because it's pretty awkward and cramped when ordering and getting your food. It goes 1) Bagels 2) Order 3) Electronic menus 4) registers and waiting area 5) cream cheese and 6) lunch meats, which is pretty illogical, as is their layout for the menu. Couple hundred bucks to a graphic designer would clean up one of those issues. The bagels are pretty great. They have a great selection. You can get a lot of different combinations on them. If they displayed the beautiful cream cheese anywhere near the bagels, you might be more tempted to branch out of "regular". I've only been for lunch and the breakfast sandwiches are beyond what you can get at Starbucks, Dunkin, McDonalds, etc so it does have its place in our hearts. I haven't been for lunch, so that's probably the next step. I haven't really been tempted for lunch based on the menu layout and they don't have "signature" sandwiches. read more

Very pleasantly surprised. Food was great. Good value for the money. Asiago bagel was delicious! Service was fast and friendly. We will be back! read more

The bagel are pretty good for the area, the chicken salad is great. Don't expect NY/NJ style bagels, but they are much better than Panera, Einstein or whatever other bread with holes you can get around the Cleveland suburbs. I dropped a star for the awful interpretation of a Taylor Ham/pork roll and cheese. A few issues - they told me to put my own ketchup on the sandwich made to go. There was barely any meat on the sandwich. And they added egg which I explicitly asked them not to do. Instead of making a new one when I pointed this out, they just took the egg off. It still tasted like egg. I guess this is better than nothing, but basically any random bagel shop in NJ is better than this. read more

As a former New Yorker (born and raised in the Bronx, lived in Manhattan for 20 years), I'm not easily impressed by bagels beyond the Hudson River. The bagels at D & R are practically as good as New York bagels. They make very good bialys too (which are very hard to find outside the Five Boroughs, regardless of the quality). I highly recommend D & R. read more

Good bagels, ok service, somewhat dirty coffee creamer station considering a bunch of workers were standing around. Lack luster artificial sweetener choices as well. Probably would visit again bc it's close, but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

I was in Solon for a car appointment and was planning on heading to Starbucks to get breakfast/coffee when I stumbled upon D & R. I LOVE bagels so couldn't resist. It reminded me a little of Barry Bagels in Toledo (though nothing compares to Barry's). They have a wide selection of bagels, sandwiches, and spreads. Give it 3 because the staff wasn't overly friendly, and the bagel was a little too bread-y for me. I like a denser bagel. Overall though, my breakfast sandwich was pretty delicious. Definitely try it! read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch. Beyond the bathroom the the back area was a wreck with boxes and garbage laying around which gave us pause but we figured hey, this is Solon, they must have it together but it gets worse. My wife ordered Matzo soup and it was served in a plastic container like you use when buying olives at the grocery store. I can see if it is to go you would serve it this way but for dine in it should be in a ceramic bowl or something. O.K. so fine, but then it turns out all they have are plastic tea spoons. If you are going to serve soup, you need a soup spoon. The employees said "we aren't the owners" so we sat down to eat our food and the soup was tepid to room temp. Now I expect soup to be hot at least. We went back up to the counter and informed them that our soup is cold and they better check the temperature of the crock. The employees just stared vacantly and offered a lame excuse that its been plugged in all day. Great, tepid soup sitting all day. They did not offer to warm it up or to return our money. My sesame bagel was stale but the Greek omlet was very good. Thus two stars instead of one. read more
