    Latte
    Sidney E.

    This is just what the McAllen area needs! A super cool modern coffee spot with fantastic bagel sandwiches. Super simple menu and moderately priced with a bag of chips on the side. One thing I wanted to bring up. I noticed the food was being made and prepped in a food truck outside? The dining space is large so the cashiers have to walk from the counter to the outside just to bring orders in. A little complicated...but it does not affect the integrity of the food. The chicken salad bagels were delicious and loaded with veggies, two people can easily share. If you get a coffee I recommend the basic latte. It is infinitely better than most crafted drinks from Starbucks and other local shops. I WILL BE RETURNING!!! Yummy food and great service deserves to be praised :)

    This by far is the best bagel sandwhiches in the valley! I highly recommend the salmon egg lox. They have an amazing selection of taro coffee to matcha drinks that you cannot find anywhere else in the valley. The service is friendly and quick. The ambience is modern, with multiple plants and artistic vibes. I highly recommend coming here if you haven't been or if your are just driving through the valley.

    I stumbled across Labyrinth when I had this insatiable craving for bagels that wouldn't leave my system. I came back to the RGV in 2022 after 4 years of being in college. During my time away, I found this bagel shop near my campus and so I went. I found a way to wake up early despite hating mornings with the help of a friend. We went together and tried their bagels and I guess that memory, that taste, that connection never really went away. One night in 2022, after failing to get some sleep, I searched up "bagels near me", just like that, without any other thought put into it. I guess really what I was trying to find was ways to go back to those years that had left me already. One single search gave me a list of different restaurants but not one that actually had bagels to choose from and try. I kept searching until I read "Labyrinth BCA" and there I found what I was looking for. I went the next day, filled with hope and hunger. I parked my car towards the back of their establishment and thought I had arrived during their busy hours because the place was busy and buzzing- both good things in my head. As I walked in I immediately noticed all the colorful stickers painted on one side of the wall and these large mirrors that stood tall and mighty. The plethora of windows invited the sun in to take a peek at the people inside. I loved the look and I liked that it aimed to make you feel cozy and at home. I went up to order and was met with a young man and there we began chatting about the coffees offered. I hadn't gone for the coffee but it was there and I was curious. I told him it was my first time there and how hesitant I was to try new coffee places because I had been to many and had never found a coffee I enjoyed. Despite the busy restaurant, the man took his time to help me decide on what to order. I mentioned I leaned more towards sweeter coffees so he brought up their famous "dirty taro". I asked what it tasted like and he replied with "fruit loop milk", his honest answer not only made me smile but it led me to get out of my comfort zone and try it. I paid for my dirty taro and my turkey and egg bagel. Both amazing choices. The bagel originally comes with chipotle mayo but I substituted it for cream cheese. The combination of flavors were amazing. The dirty taro tasted exactly like he said and I wondered how long it took him to find the perfect way to describe a drink to someone who had never tried it. The drink was wonderful too. I thought back to the bagel shop from my college that was a thousand miles away from where I sat now. I thought about how nostalgia can dress like a friend and sit with you in the new places you find around the RGV. Now, I come here every chance I get and usually always try to bring a friend or a relative. I tell them about the breakfast and lunch bagels, I tell them about how cool and inviting this place is, I tell them about the owner of the place and how kind he was during my first stop here, I tell them about the taro latte and how you really can't find it anywhere else. I tell them about how special some places can be and what they can make you feel.

    Comfy area to do some work slack. can get busy at times. I had a spam egg and cheese on an everything bagel, food service was as expected

    Chipotle Chicken
    Arsalan A.

    This place is amazing! Many coffee shops these days don't have food options but labyrinth has both breakfast and lunch bagels! I got the chipotle chicken and it was fire! 7/10 and very reasonably priced! The employees were very friendly and quick with our coffees and food. The place is calm and a great place for a study session or a casual date!

    Enjoyed a yummy coffee and bagel. I asked what was recommended since I enjoy my coffee on the sweeter side and I have to say I was very pleased with the recommendation . The bagel was so yummy and fresh. Will be back soon.

    I am honestly surprised by the low ratings. My trip to Labyrinth was fueled by a desire to try the Dirty Taro, and it was so good, I bought three. And two sandwiches, so I could save one for later. The Everything Bagel goes great with the smoked salmon, and my friend loved her Spam, Egg & Cheese bagel. The art indoors is lovely to look at (and for sale) and the customer service was masked, and friendly. It is a super bright spot filled with natural light and chill, but upbeat ambient music, perfect for remote work, or just to get a good meal for not a lot of money. I will absolutely be back.

    Bacon, egg and cheese bagel.  Smoked salmon, cucumber, tomato, and cream cheese bagel.

    Bagels were super delicious! Great customer service and chill ambiance. I will definitely come back.

    Perfect hidden gem! This is our favorite vacation coffee shop moving forward! Food is outstanding and fresh and staff is so friendly.

    What an excellent addition to the RGV! I haven't had a bagel sandwich that's worth a flip since my last trip to New York but, the ones they are serving at this establishment are just as good if not better! Additionally, the coffee was excellent and prepared as if I were in Italy! With that said I did have a couple of critiques: The bathroom door needs a better lock The ordering experience was awkward and could be streamlined Parking can be an issue if you're arriving for brunch They need to serve the bagel sandwich in an envelope so it won't be as messy when you eat it.

SERVICE: the service was not bad, when we let the employees know about the issues with the bread they offered to remake our meals but we chose to get a refund. We were not going to risk it. AMBIANCE: almost every table in the restaurant was dirty and it was not because they were busy since we were the only costumers in the restaurant, but rather what I believe is a lack of effort to maintain a clean environment. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: I would give this restaurant less than one star due to the lack of upkeep. I believe the staff. Needs to be retrained and more effort needs to be placed into ensuring food quality. Will not be eating at this location anymore to say the least. Sad!

The oysters had a delicious seasoning and were well cooked. My only complaint was I felt they had too much breading to appreciate the oyster inside. Again, the breading was delicious - just too much. You get about 10 oysters.The fries were well seasoned as well, and quite plentiful. For dessert I had the caramel banana pie. It looked delicious, but for me, it was just too over the top. For the expense, I certainly would not order again. Speaking of "expense", this place is more in the "medium" price range and not something I would go to on a regular basis for lunch. It was good, and definitely maybe more of a dinner spot. Nice change of pace kind of place!
