Haven't been here in years. I remember this place was jumping back in the days. Don't know if they still make their bagels. Place is empty in the morning. Worst of all the coffee is awful. Must be new owners. Thought I would just drop by to see what it was like. Not coming back. read more

The shortest trip ever to this Elaine Bagel just happened now in and out because when I tried to order Bagels there's flies all over the inside of the of the case two of them were even having sex and one of the bagels what happened to this place it used to be amazing I'll never go there again. read more

Hit-or-miss bagel place. What you get definitely depends on the batch because sometimes I've ordered some form of bagel and it's been great and other times it's been so bad and mushy. It seems like ownership has changed recently which could be the reason. read more

I ordered just two bagels, and there were only two other people in the store -- it wasn't busy at all. After waiting over 20 minutes with no update, we finally asked what was taking so long, only to be told that the microwave broke. No one had bothered to mention that earlier, and our bagels were just sitting there while they continued taking new orders from people who came in after us. To make things worse, I watched one of the employees dip the knife into a different flavored cream cheese and then not even switch it between orders. Her hair was also hanging loose in front of her shoulders while handling food, which felt extremely unhygienic. The service was terrible, the wait was ridiculous for two simple bagels, and there wasn't even an apology -- just a comment that they could try to refund our card. Overall, completely disappointing and very unprofessional. read more

I used to be a fan of Elaine's Bagels. The last two times I have visited here they barely had any bagels out. They have one worker and they can't handle big crowds. I ended up leaving after waiting for one family order ahead of me. They didn't have the coffee drinks advertised for the group ahead of us. The bagels are pretty good if you can get one. They need help on how to run this establishment. read more

I usually love this place but today I ordered a salt bagel & it is awful. The bagel has very little salt on it & not much chive cream cheese on it. I wasted the $5.00. The women who work normally are polite & actually say thank you for the tip. Today no smiles & no thank you. Plus the bagel is yucky. read more

Elaine's Bagels - Salt bagel chive cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Disappointing to say the least Dozen bagels Blueberry bagels dyed blue with a single berry in each bagel Salt sticks seemed like it was day old. Salt bagels used to be salt and poppy seed now just salt. Pile of dirt in the middle of the floor as they were in the middle of sweeping with customers in and out of the store. If you want bagels find another place. read more

My favorite mom n pop bagel spot. They have delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches that have better pricing than a lot of other delis. Other people leaving negative reviews need to re-evaluate what a small business is and understand the impact these reviews have. None of the breakfast sandwiches are more than $8 and lunch sandwiches are all under $11. Doesn't get much better than that. read more

This place has reeeeeeally gone downhill. Growing up I remember stopping in every weekend for bagels on our way to church or sporting events. There was ALWAYS a line out the door. This is not the same Elaine's. This place is gross. There is dust everywhere you look. It looks like they have been under construction for a long time. There are flies hovering over the bagels. Service was not great- she was on the phone via headphones the entire time I was there. I felt like I was interrupting her by trying to order and get out. If you order sandwich, it will be cooked in a plastic container in a microwave. All around not a great experience. I do not plan to come back here and would certainly not recommend it. read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years and probably won't ever come back. Ever since ownership/management changed years ago this place has rapidly declined in all aspects, service, flavors, quality etc. It's a disservice to the original which is so unfortunate. read more

Best bagels around, period! Good selection, excellent service. Best bagels, and at a good price. read more

Sandwich was ok I guess - bagel on its own was not worth it. cream cheese was probably one of the worst of I've ever had.

I'm not a huge fan of the bagels here. One reason is that they are shaped very round like a mini soccer ball and don't fit in my toaster at home when I slice them in half. The cinnamon raisin bagels barely have any raisins in them and I've ordered them a few times just incase I got an odd one. One time there were just 2 raisins in the whole bagel!! The blueberry bagels definitely could use more blueberries as well. The only reason I like to come here is for the dog bagels! Lol. My dog loves them and they are only $0.35 each. A much cheaper price than I can get at the pet stores. The New York Bagel Dogels they sell at the local pet stores are $12.99 for a dozen. A dozen here is only $4.20 and they are much larger. I highly suggest them for a treat your dog if have a large dog. It's a little known secret. :) read more

Seems like the negative reviews came from folks who need to deal with their nostalgia & have never left their tiny little bubbles. Bagels are wonderful. Wonderful bagels are difficult to make. This place does it authentic. You could even bring a picky New Yorker (I did it, and it worked). If your palate grew up on Einstein & Bruegger's, you do not understand the merit of authenticity to Elaine's. Stop asking for special treatment. read more

Bagel sandwich was just ok nothing special about it also, they need to update their menu on Yelp, had items listed that they no longer carry. read more

Elaine's is great. Best bagel I've ever had? Probably not. But where else can you get a lox sandwich for under $8?? Does that speak to its quality? maybe but it's always been delicious, no complaints. The staff is very nice. They are undergoing renovations but it hasn't deterred me from stopping in. read more

Exactly what my bride and I were looking for. Real bagels. Why in the world can Indianpolis have chewy salt bagels and salt sticks. 78 thumbs up and a snap. I could not wait until I got back to the place we were staying at. Get here early to get the salt sticks... sorry every Metro Detroit fan of salt sticks - I bought them out this Sunday morning. Early bird gets the stick! read more

I was not impressed with this bagel shop. The bagel was really dry and chewy. It was not fresh at all. I ordered it with turkey and cheese; I have no complaints with the turkey and cheese part of the bagel. I was just really bummed out at how dry the bagel was. If it were more fresh, it would have changed the satisfaction in my experience here. I may give this bagel shop another chance because I have had Elaine's Bagels before, and it was a better experience at different locations. Hopefully next time is a better experience. read more

Elaine's Bagels - The everything bagel with turkey and cheese on it was not that great because the bagel was dry and chewy; the bagel was not fresh at all. - Bagels Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Very disappointed because this place used to be good and reasonably priced. I bought an Asiago bagel which was stale and tasted a little like onion. The cinnamon roll was rock hard stale. THE COST: $5.00! It is advertised as dine in but only a solitary table for two. I couldn't communicate with the clerk. read more

I used to be in charge of our coffee service for our department in addition to regular work responsibilities; I don't remember how I was given such an honor. It made a small profit and once a week I would pick up donuts and put them out by the coffee pots. I decided maybe we should have some variety and switch things up with bagels every third or fourth time. When I studied bagel shop locations on the way between my home and work I found Elaine's Bagels. The bagels and cream cheese were excellent quality and taste, reasonably priced, right on my way to work, and people were friendly. So that became a regular thing for years. After I retired, I no longer go past Elaine's so it is a rare occasion when I do see them. But everything still seems to be continuing they way they always were; great food, reasonable prices and good people! Check them out! read more

I really enjoyed my Asiago bagel here! Service was great as the person working there was very kind! Quick, fast, nice ambiance, and delicious bagels! My dog also loves the dog bagels which they are really big and at a great price too. Will definitely come back again! read more

Bagels and service were good, but when you've already had the best- Eastside Bagel- you compare everything else to it. I tried egg and cheese on a sesame bagel, which wasn't terrible, but the egg was HUGE and flavorless. I could barely eat half of the bagel which is not my norm. I may give this place another shot, go with the standard cream cheese, and update my review. As it stands, I give them a 2.5 stars. read more

I knew the place exists due to visiting nearby Indian restaurant, but for some reason I never went there. Finally, I decided to give it a try, and I think I fund my new favorite spot for bagels! I love them! They're slightly bigger than in other pieces with crispy skin and very dense interior. This is what I love in bagels! You eat one and feel full for long time. Also, the sweet versions are not overly sweet, which happens in other places. I like the cinnamon sugar a lot, but the savory flavors are delicious too. And the prices are great! read more

I ordered a bakers dozen bagels and had them delivered via DoorDash. I was disappointed in the bagels. They were all chilled to the touch upon arrival. I'm pretty sure these were yesterday's bagels that were frozen and thawed rather than ones made freshly. If I wanted frozen bagels, I'd buy them at the supermarket. Unacceptable! read more

Me and my family have always enjoyed Elaine's bagels. It's a favorite of ours because of their soft and big bagels. Recently we went in and felt as if we were being rushed through choosing the bagels and how many we wanted. We were the only people in line and got asked multiple times how many and what bagels we wanted pretty much before we got to the display case. We told them we needed a moment but they kept asking us in such a rushed way that we finally had to tell them again in a more agitated tone to please give us a moment. We were also rushed to checkout and they were simultaneously trying to help another customer that just walked in. It honestly seemed so clustered and frustrating when we're were the only people there (until the end). It was not a great way to start the morning. I'm sure my family will be back because we love the bagels and hopefully get better service next time. If the bagels weren't so good, this would have gotten a 1 star from me. read more

This bagel place was outstanding and has awesome flavors ! I came here before work around 6:45 and there was no line so it was quick in and out. The bagel dozen is 12.99 and gives you 13 bagels. All my coworkers raved about the bagels! Apparently onion bagels are heard to come by and my coworker was very happy! The jalapeño cheddar was my favorite. The cream cheese was whipped cream cheese which was also a crowd favorite and the coffee was pretty good too. Of note they don't have gluten free bagels but the employee kindly checked to see what kind of flour is used in the bagels ( was checking for a gluten free colleague of mine) . Great experience and will be back to try the sandwiches ! read more

I like bagels from Elaine's. My fave is the all star, followed by the cinnamon sugar. Happy to support independent places versus chain restaurants, and once you taste these bagels I'm betting you will agree. read more

Elaine's Bagels - Try red pepper cream cheese with savory bagel, it's great! - Bagels Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Come early, and get your bagels while they are hot! Their bagels are big and tasty. They are cheap too! Three bagels were $1.60. They were out of their asiago bagels on a recent Sunday morning, so I bought my mom a spinach one which she liked very much. My favorite is the salt bagel lathered with cream cheese. I gave them four stars only because I prefer the large chunk Kosher salt, instead of the fine salt that they use. The guy behind the counter was friendly. It must be kinda boring to work by yourself when business is slow. read more

The "Elaine's special strawberry cream Cheese" seemed like normal cream cheese with pink food coloring. There was nothing strawberry about it. Very disappointing. And The chocolate chip bagel had a hint of onion taste to it which was really weird and upsetting as well. read more

Best bagels around! Fresh fluffy and delicious! Such a great selection to choose from. You can even eat breakfast or lunch here. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

My favorite bagel shop when I am in town. Great options with so much flavor! Always try to pick up a dozen when I come through the area

Great selection, best bagels in the town, variety of options and world class service. Really enjoyed the bagels from this place, great flavor and my favourite type of Bagel is All Star Bagel. read more

I've given this place many chances and it's just never satisfied me. The bagels with cream cheese aren't bad, but the sandwiches are definitely lacking. The variety of bagels and cream cheese are also smaller compared to other bagel shops. If you want just your average run of the mill flavor bagel with cream cheese and nothing fancy, this place will suffice. read more

Small quaint bagel shop- never had their hot beverages but the bagels whoo hoo. If you think you had a good everything bagel test out this place. The all star (everything bagel) and Asiago bagels are sooooooooooo flippin good. Love that they open so early so I can stop before I go to work. They also close early too I think around 2pm so if you want something better go before work. The employees are friendly & pretty fast too. Not expensive at all, I think a bagel with cream cheese is about $1.50 ish . And the bagels... they are big. read more

The lady handled cash while wearing gloves and with the SAME GLOVES she handled my bagel. Literally patted down the bacon and bagel with the same glove she handled my cash with. I am beyond disgusted and will never come back. read more

I used to love Elaines Bagels a few years ago. Since the new owner took over the quality has went way down hill. First off, let me say I have had so many bad expierences there, it is hard to pick just one. Fruit-flies are visable on the bagels in the rack. I have personally watched the owner drop bagels on the floor and then pick them up and put them back in the basket. The cream cheese is frequently spoiled and I have gotten food posioning on 2 seperate occasions. (You'd think I'd learn the first time) Store has a VERY unclean feel about it from the counter tops to the floor. Sure Einsteins is corporate but at least I know for a fact they bleach the floors on a regular basis. My overall feeling on Elaines Bagels-I'm suprised the health department hasn't shut them down. read more

This has been my bagel shop for the past 20 years! The staff is so gracious and always friendly. I love how fluffy and fresh their bagels are. Their cream cheese is the best and I love the special dog bagels they have for your fur child. read more
