This is definitely one of the better bagel spots in Miami, especially since we don't exactly have a huge selection of bagel places here. I'm very basic when it comes to breakfast sandwiches, so I usually get a bacon, egg, and cheese. It's simple, but it always hits the spot. I do wish they had some sauces you could add to the sandwiches because I feel like that would make them even better. It gets pretty busy here, especially on the weekends, and there's usually a line, but it moves. They also have a good selection of juices and coffee if you want to grab everything in one place. read more

I can officially say this place is what converted me into a bagel eater at the age of 24. Understated in its location with no proper tables, instead a relaxed sitting area made up of wooden boxes, El Bagel is the epitome of the perfect bagel. Not just that, but their coffee and matcha additions really take the experience of coming to get a casual bagel to a whole different level. You will not go wrong with the Lox Supreme on an everything bagel, or a melty bacon egg and cheese, and their matcha latte and cold brew are unexpectedly some of the best in the city. The craving to come back hasn't seceded since my first visit, and I have a feeling once you try this place, you will have a similar experience. read more

Bagel was hard, if you have TMJ do not get it. I had jaw pain the rest of the day. In my experience "fresh" bagels are soft, so I am not sure the bagels here are too fresh. We went early to about 9am. read more

New York bagels meet Miami! I just came across this little bagel shop and decided to give it a try. The bagels are so fresh and the selection of cream cheeses is great. They also have tons of sandwich options and coffee drinks as well. I highly recommend keeping it simple with an everything bagel toasted with garlic chive cream cheese. The iced matcha latte with vanilla + lavender is really yummy too and pairs perfect with it. I love this place and always crave it. The customer service is really friendly and welcoming as well which I love. The space is small but the ambiance is New York feel. read more

30 mins for a bagel every time is not justified. Get better with operations. I know its busy but there is clear room to improve.

Can I add more stars? Please? The best bacon, egg and cheese bagel I've ever had. Period. Got a couple of bagels in a bag and they were good, but toasted on that glorious sandwich. Can't wait to be back in Miami Beach. read more

The best bagels in Miami hands down! I've been looking for a good bagel for a very long time and nowhere compares to here. The bagels and cream cheese are amazing. My go-to is a toasted bagel with chive cream cheese (fresh chives). I usually order on the app to pick up on my way somewhere. Service is always pleasant and the staff are always happy! Beware this place is super popular though so if you go for breakfast on the weekends I recommend ordering ahead in the app or you may be waiting a very long time. Nowhere to sit inside but has a cute seating area out back not many people know about. No photos yet because I always devour the bagel instantly but will update soon! read more

The MiMo District used to be all neon motels, cheap secrets, and the kind of late-night transactions your mother warned you about. Now? The prostitutes are gone, replaced by trendy restaurants, cocktail bars, and "emerging artists" selling abstract paintings of flamingos for rent money they can't afford. The vintage neon signs are still here, but now they're ironic, Instagrammable, and backlit by $18 craft cocktails. It's gentrification with good lighting -- welcome to the new MiMo. Out of that has spawned El Bagel. El Bagel isn't just a bagel shop -- it's a holy place. A carb temple. Miami's answer to the eternal question: "Why get out of bed?" First, understand this: you're going to wait. You'll stand there, clutching your caffeine-deprived soul, holding a brown paper bag like a sacred relic when your order finally comes. And you won't care. Because this isn't fast food. This is worth it. Order the salmon open-face and your life will split into two eras: before El Bagel and after El Bagel. Somewhere in that first bite, you realize dill belongs on a bagel -- not as an afterthought, but as a divine mandate. Miami humidity clings to your shirt, you're parked half on a curb eating out of a bag like an animal, and still... somehow... this feels like church. The bagels? Top-notch. Chewy, golden perfection with just enough resistance to remind you what you've been missing. I've broken diets here without a shred of guilt. There have been days where I've sat in my car, engine off, air conditioning blasting, housing bagels like I'm training for an eating competition, crumbs everywhere, knowing full well I'll do it again tomorrow. Part of the charm is the simplicity -- brown paper bags, no pretension, no nonsense. It's just you, your bagel, and the knowledge that happiness sometimes does come in sesame-seed (or poppy) form. Five stars. All the stars. If you live in Miami, you already know. If you don't, this place is worth a special trip -- the kind of pilgrimage you make once, remember forever, and then plan your next visit before you've even finished your bagel. read more

Right of the bat imma say it. "BEST BAGELS IN MIAMI" i love the diversity of flavors...the choosing of different smears to put on bagels and the freshness of ingredients. The Ambiance is very opened here and the workers are extremely kind. My only issue with this location is that they aren't opened long enough..wish it was opened passed 2..lol read more

El Bagel was the perfect spot to stop by for a quick bite to eat before leaving Miami. There's an outside area to sit with benches. I loved my hand rolled bagel, it was so chewy and a good texture. I ordered the bacon and egg bagel, no cheese, smothered it in the datil hot sauce and it slapped. The owner was also so nice and gave character to the shop. Would definitely come here again to get another! read more

From the second I walked in, the vibes were immaculate -- the smell alone gave me a spiritual experience. If scented candles came in "fresh bagel with a hint of cream cheese and joy," this place would be the model. Big shoutout to Dylan, who treated my first visit like I was a regular and handed me a bagel that may have actually healed some childhood wounds. Friendly staff, fast service, and the kind of food that makes you immediately text your friends about it. I'll be back. Probably tomorrow....

El Bagel - Smashed avocado Cucumber Radish Extra virgin olive oil Plain cream cheese Sea salt Chives +egg On sesame scooped bagel - Bagels Near Me - Miami, Florida

Super tiny store. Limited menu. Bagels were excellent. Everything was made well, with quality ingredients. Egg and cheese on a bagel...egg made perfect, with a bit of run. Turkey very good, although I asked for no cream cheese and they put it on anyway. But it was fine. Guava jam and cream cheese...delicious. Lox and cream cheese...very good. PB&J, really delicious too. Everything sooo messy to eat. But good. Would I run back there? Maybe, if I was hungry and passing nearby. I don't think I'd go out of my way for any of it. But you can certainly do much worse. read more

EL BAGEL IS THE BEST BAGEL SPOT IN MIA! There is unfortunately always a line but do not let that deter you (I just come earlier). They have an incredible variety of bagels and shmears and dips. Their sandwiches are also phenomenal. But every bagel is packed with flavor, they are light, have a great crust, and honestly toasted to perfection every time! The bagels are reasonably priced and their coffees are pretty decent too (but I wouldn't come here just for the latte). If you have a lot of sandwiches to order, do so ahead of time because it can take a while. There is additional parking in the back and some spots out front but I've never had any issue finding some. I am a huge fan! read more

So shame on me. I didn't know there's no in dining option just outside. Whoops. Needless to say I got the King Guava to go. After getting to my hotel 15 minutes later, it didn't travel well. Again it's on me. What I did taste was amazing! I think at that time when that everything (I did that) bagel is hot and toasty this sandwich is killer! The guava jelly was sooooo good. It was a nice touch. I also got their cold brew which was nice and strong! Well done! The decor was cool and clean. I felt like parking is extremely limited unless you do so around the corner. read more

I think this is the top bagel spot in Miami. I usually go for the classic bacon and egg bagel (BEC), but the Avo spesh bagel is also really good. On weekends, it gets busy and sometimes sells out, so I recommend ordering online ahead of time. Their fresh orange juice is great too. It's a small shop, but I usually go to the El Portal location. read more

Stopped in for a quick bagel fix after finding out about this spot through a friend! I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the place and the nifty table/benches outside. I ordered the BLT, which I really enjoyed flavor-wise. My only complaint is the bagel itself was soft, but tough to chew if that makes sense? After my first bite I found my jaw hurting from how much I had to chew this thing. 10/10 on flavor though. Staff was super friendly and the the wait time wasn't too crazy. I noticed they do a lot of online orders so even if it's not packed, there's other orders in place! read more

Easily my favorite bagel place in Miami! I came to this spot after hearing all the hype and found it to be much deserved; I tried the BEC and added scallion cream cheese - was very impressed by both the quality and amount of the fillings! Prepare for a crowd and pretty limited seating options on a small outdoor patio. read more

El Bagel is a small bagel shop on Biscayne a few miles away from the hustle and bustle (and traffic) of downtown. There is a small parking lot out front shared with the other shops but also a lot of street parking conveniently nearby. I ordered a Too Good To Go bag and when I got there it was all packaged and ready for me. The bagels were fresh and flavorful. The lady, (manager/owner maybe) who welcomed me was very pleasant. There are a few benches to sat on out front as well as a few more out back. I will definitely return! read more

I never ever EVER leave reviews, but I've been here 3 times so far and every time was amazing. The bagels are delicious and chewy, full to the brim of what we fillings you choose, and always satisfying. I never have to wait long for my order. I find myself bush at a loss for what to have for breakfast every Tuesday when they're closed MUST TRY breakfast/brunch spot in my opinion. I would bring everyone I know here if I wanted to impress them with a good breakfast spot. read more

I loved the play on the name, "El Bagel". I thought it was funny and original, especially when paired with the wrapping paper they use that says "it means the bagel". To speak on the food, it was really good but not sure I'd go back again just cause besides a lot of fish spreads, options are limited. In particular, bagel options are limited. This is because they make what they have fresh daily, which I can definitely appreciate! Service was awesome, we were running a bit late and got to the store about 15-10 minutes before they closed and they were not rude in any way. The staff didn't rush us, they took our order and were very friendly about it too! I also really enjoyed the front patio area, I thought that was a nice touch for customers to eat their food there. There was a cart there with napkins, wet wipes, utensils, and more! I'd recommend to go at least once to say you've been! read more

I really want to like the breakfast here but it's just not clicking with me. I've been multiple times and keep getting drawn back by the great reviews. This latest time I ordered a BEC on an everything bagel. The bagel was chewy almost stale like they microwaved it, and the bacon was fatty. It's always packed when I go and that almost always means waiting longer than they estimate which I wouldn't mind if the sandwich was bomb. The staff though is very pleasant and helpful. Not sure if I'll try again with a different order but as of now I'll try a different bagel shop. read more

I never mind paying a premium for good quality food. But, I should have looked at the breakfast sandwich pictures a lot closer than I did. I drove 17 minutes to this place from Downtown Miami. They were steady but not busy. I placed an order for three plain, toasted, bacon, egg, and cheese. I received them a short time later and began to eat mine in the car. My take on the bagel was it was good but not the most amazing bagel I have ever had. I found myself needing more napkins than I ever imagined. They put so much cheese on it that it overpowers the taste and the possible quality of the food/ingredients. The cheese was literally so messy; it was the messiest bagel sandwich I have ever eaten. As I ate it, I wondered where all the bacon was. It seemed as if the bacon was rationed, and not much was placed on there. I did have other people with me, and their bagels were the same. They only ate half of their bagels as they refused to eat the rest due to being mostly cheese-tasting and the mess. Would I eat here again, nah I would pass. If you did try it though, hold back the majority of the cheese and ask them not to skimp on the bacon. read more

El Bagel..literally translates to "The" bagel. After finally checking it out today, I can see that yes the hype is real. Let me explain, I've seen more than a few pictures from friends including our CM Farah of these loaded and colorful bagels. However, I'm usually on the other end of town at their open hours I simply hadn't been able to go. Fast forward to some end of the year PTO Friday. I was nearby for errands and finally yes I was able to go. It's a cozy storefront almost like the ventanita of lore. You either order online or on site and get your order to go. Though geared toward the latter, there are 3 benches outside where you can indulge. The attendant was pleasant in explaining their product, and she was on point with the recommendation of their B.E.C. (Bacon Egg & Cheese) bagel. I also picked up some iced coffee, though I believe they sell rose or other bevvies (next time). My bagel had a substantial cross section, and with being lightly toasted, a good texture. It was loaded with a big runny egg, melted cheese and gloriously crispy bacon. So much so that I needed a fork to clean some that was on the wrapper after indulging their yummy carbs. Being a dessert fiend I do wish they had they had some sweet /fruity bagels or cream cheese and thus I'm dinging a 1/2 star but El Bagel has definitely earned a spot in my weekend brunch spot list. read more

I did it! I decided to bite the bullet and finally try El Bagel. I ordered via Door Dash. As all the previous reviews have stated, this place is very popular and gets very busy, so even though delivery was fast, it took an hour for the shop to prepare my order. I knew what was up, so the prep time didn't bother me. I went with the EB Original on a plain, toasted bagel and a bottle of OJ. Yes, this place is pricey (all bagel places are in Miami for some reason) and I'm not even the biggest fan of bagels, but I will admit, this was really good. Who knew roasted jalapeños were so tasty?? read more

I went back to el bagel a year after having a less than great experience and I am happy to say it's one of the best bagels in Miami and closest to a New York bagel. The service is amazing and the Casher at the front from New Jersey is hilarious. They changed the inside configuration and it's much better! More space. It's not meant for eating in (by design) it's a grab and go eatery. Hard to find parking at the Miami shores location. I typically get a sesame bagel scooped toasted with scallion shmear and lox. Definitely coming back!! Delicious! read more
