    Viewing access to the kitchen was a bit too open
    Gil S.

    I was impressed with Desert Sun Bagel. It's kind of a hole-in-the-wall place next to Goodwill with a bit of an underwhelming/hollowed-out-feeling interior, but the people working behind the counter are very friendly and attentive, the sandwich options are creative and plentiful without being overwhelming, and the quality of the bagels and ingredients is solid and satisfying if not mind-blowing. I got the Frontier, with swiss, tomato, and avocado (and I added bacon), and it was well prepared, well balanced, and rich without feeling overly heavy. I also thought the pricing was decent (not the highest not the lowest) considering the quantity and quality of food. The bagel variety was a bit sparse (we might have arrived after a rush), but they have the basics well covered, plus a few extras, like garlic parmesan and tomato pesto cheddar (which were sold out when we were there, so maybe they're good). The pastries looked a little sad and mixed together. I also REALLY liked the basic coffee (Laughing Cat) they had here. I've been to enough bagel shops that have been disappointing, so I was happy to find that Desert Sun makes good bagel sandwiches full stop.

    We were doing business in the shopping center and decided to drop in for a quick bite. Ordered: Tumbleweed - Ham and egg with a great pepper and onion blend and topped with melted cheddar and a jalapeno cheddar bagel. YUM!!! Sonoran: Chorizo and egg with spinach and melted cheddar on a salted bagel. Just ok and a little messy. Desert Sunrise: Sausage, ham, egg and American cheese on a garlic parmesan bagel. Good but not a fan of American cheese. Coffee was decent but didn't inspire even a refill. Prices: About average for bagel sandwiches Qualities: Cute little shop that is super clean and is decorated in a Nevadaesque style. Fresh ingredients and friendly service. Next time: We will purchase some bagels to take home and toast up later.

    Egg, cheese, hash brown on an everything bagel

    It was noon on a Saturday and even though the store hours said 2pm closing time, all the chairs were set onto the tables and the floor had been mopped. The entire place smelled like chemicals and it did not feel welcoming. The girl who took our order either has a hard time comprehending what people are saying or she couldn't hear us over the music which was loud. My husband ordered, "a number one with ham on an everything bagel." She responded with "what kind of bagel?" He says, "an everything bagel." So she follows up with, "you wanted sausage?" We thought she was pranking us at first, and then quickly realized she was serious. The food was okay. I find the everything bagels here to be too salty for my preference but it was my only choice since it was the only thing left in the case.

    I have been a customer of Desert Bagel wayyy back when it was under a different name. I love that they were able to expand and open a section location, congrats! I order the usual, the desert sunrise, but opt'd to add cream cheese in it and that was a game changer. Their bagels are soft and tender, and they have packets of a "hot" salsa amongst the jams, jellies and other condiments to grab, which is nice. In comparison to other bagel places in town, the prices are fair and the bagels are good. This place does pick up in orders pretty fast on a weekend, so come prepared to wait or come early.

    Stopped by for a quick bite to eat. I didn't realize they offer day old bagels for $3.75 for half a dozen! Loved the coffee and frontier bagel I had.

    A lovely new addition across from Trader Joes on McCarran and South Virginia (next to Goodwill), Desert Sun Bagel has a clean, desert vibe with pictures of our lovely Nevada high desert landscapes and crystals and rock formations tucked into nooks and shelves. We tried the mango smoothie -- citrus flavored mango which was not too sweet and not too sour. We also tried an iced vanilla latte which featured a good coffee blend and a subtle vanilla flavor. The star of the show was the Oasis on an onion bagel. A concoction of scrambled egg, bacon (added) and veggies on a crisply toasted onion bagel. We also ordered a toasted salt bagel with cream cheese the salt amount was perfectly balanced with a deliciously crunchy bagel that nicely held up the smooth whipped cream cheese. This might just be our new favorite bagel shop. We will definitely be back.

    Best bagels in town so far Great food options on bagels! Service quick, good food in a bag Stay is there is a table open Sleepy friendly customers early on Sunday morning, coming down.

    Excellent menu with great prices
    Amanda L.

    100% yes! Super friendly and fast staff. They all work really well together and communicate effectively. Very clean, nicely decorated, and organized. They have great seating inside, and outside when the weather is nice. There is a self serve coffee station with flavored syrups, and milk/ non dairy options in the mini fridge. I love the selection from the menu and the bagel case as well. I think there's a lot of great things to choose from. I loved the Vista sandwich and can't wait to go back and try other menu items, but definitely the Oasis because I LOVE pesto! Thank you to everyone at Desert Sun Bagel for all that you do. We hope you all get to stick around for a long time.

    Toasted and soft inside..

    8/13/25- Wanted to stop in and grab some bagels for lunch and breakfast tomorrow- I do really miss eating bagels -lol-instead of my four ingredient protein bagels... So glad they chose this area- closer to me than going downtown.. Staff was helpful- Not too many selections- but I got the jalapeño cheddar and the cinnamon brown sugar.. I did ask if they could slice them and they did..( didn't know they had to slice by hand).. Turned the jalapeño cheddar in to a Tossted BLTA! Soft and full of flavor ( gentle heat kicks in).. Can't wait to try the cinnamon brown sugar in the morning.. Local coffee also available Black Cat... Yes I'd visit again!

    Staff at the new location are always quick to greet you, take your order and get things done. This place has plenty of seating indoors, (maybe 5x+ than the original location) along with an outdoor patio area. I gave taken large orders into our office and everyone loves them. Quality of the food is excellent. I mainly get the breakfast sandwiches to crank my tractor before work.

    The #4 Frontier (jalapeño cheddar bagel)
    Christiane W.

    A hidden gem in South Reno, tucked away in the Smithridge shopping center! If bagels are your love language, this place speaks it fluently. When I stopped by, it was buzzing with pick-up orders, but even around 11am they still had plenty of bagel choices. I went with the Frontier Bagel Sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and WOW--total game changer. Avocado, tomato, Swiss, a fresh cracked egg, plus I added crispy bacon... basically breakfast perfection. Service was super friendly, and my to-go order took about 15 minutes--totally fine since everything is made fresh and worth the wait. There's also a cozy little seating area if you want to hang out. If you're looking for a bagel sandwich that hits just right for breakfast or lunch, this is it. Bonus points: they do catering too!

    Melissa M.

    I'm so happy they opened a second location a little closer to our home! This place was chill, inviting and the bagels are delicious and fresh! Cute little area to sit in, cute plants and succulents. Either way it is packaged to go and easy enough to take with you.

    Benjamin M.

    Cute little spot. Got a breakfast bagel and also a simple one with just cream cheese. Everything tasted great. I'd definitely go back. Inside was clean. The only thing, Staff could be a little friendlier/welcoming.

This place has a lot of cheese options which I love and a lot of hot sauce and options at the counter which makes things even better. My onion bagel was just okay kind of hard and dry, but my friend got the jalapeño cheese one that was a lot better with pepper jack that was pretty bomb. My eggs were seasoned and filling, cheese melted and bagel sandwich steaming hot which I appreciated. It is a great stop for a bfst sandwich if you don't have time to wait long or have a long drive like me. I think I love most how lovely the bathroom smells- lemongrass and it was very clean which is always a major plus. There is a lot for parking as well.

I was in Reno yesterday for a Reno Aces Game (they beat Tacoma 13-8), and had time to stop at the Midtown Truckee Bagel Company. From there, it was a short drive to Greater Nevada field. +/- - Counter service was slowed down by the counter person taking phone orders. - Somewhat limited Bagel selection this late in the day. That was OK as my half dozen selection of sundried tomato, wheat, and combo bagels was a good one. - They were out of regular cream cheese, so I settled for a bit pricy smear of Herb. Positives - Easy access on and off Virginia and good available parking. - Expected casual bagel shop ambience, including display and sandwich making behind the counter. - Bagels are baked, no steamed. - Bagels were put in plastic bag (with tie) which in my opinion preserves freshness vs. a paper bag. - My toasted breakfast bagel (next day) was the right amount of heft, chewiness, and flavor. I almost could have eaten it without the cream cheese, but that smear just added to its goodness.
