Bagels are great and the staff are hardworking. A nice little joint that delivers big flavor.

I love bagels and have been wanting to try anything that would resemble a classic NY-style after reading enough reviews from city snobs. Discovering Lefty's was just a few minutes away from my office was awesome. Ordered online and got the King of the Hill (roast beef sandwich) and a few bagels (cheese, Tzitzel, and Onion). Everything was delicious, the cashier was friendly, and, save the chatty customer ahead of me, the experience was very quick. read more

Great bagels. Great coffee. Service with a smile. A definite place to not only check out but to make a regular stop.

Great bagels (especially for STL). Getting pricey though. Disappointing when they run out of smears and certain bagels. Perhaps growing pains. Highly recommended. read more

Great bagel. Received mine hot and it was so delicious. Will definitely be going back. The line was extremely long but it had just opened. It was worth the wait. There is no real ambiance but for the type of place it is it is just fine I took a bagel out of the bag and are that hot bagel immediately. Soooo good. read more

Excellent bagels, best in STL and closest to NYc good service - it is a popular place - recommend ordering ahead on weekends

I went by around noon on Tuesday. Even though they state they are open until 2 pm the door was locked. Peering through the window I observed two employees toward the back "horsing around". They had better get their act together or all the money invested in this location will be for naught. I'll eventually will give it another try but meanwhile I'm heading to Einstein's. read more

This restaurant is AMAZING! Its bagels and schmears are certified kosher which is fantastic. I had the smoked trout and plain cream cheese on a tzitzel bagel - it was to die for. They also carry Brown's sodas (including the Cel-Ray!). The employees are so incredibly kind and knowledgeable and truly want you to have a good experience. If you haven't been - go now! read more

Lefty's Bagels - Sausage, egg, and cheese on everything bagel. - Bagels Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

Came to chesterfield to try these NY style bagels with my friend who moved here from NY. We have been spending our weekend mornings trying bagels around town to help her find one like she is missing. Lefty's didn't disappoint, although, she didn't find it authentic in her opinion. We both just went boring with a plain bagel and plain cream cheese. I got my cream cheese on the side because I wanted to try their jalapeño flavor also. The bagel came out perfectly toasted, with that slight crisp but yet still soft center. I stayed with the plain cream cheese and it was really good. Moving on to the jalapeño cream cheese, I was in love. The flavor was so good. It gave that hint of spice with really good jalapeño flavor without setting your mouth on fire. My friend opted for the plain schmear which was perfect for her bc she likes lots of cream cheese and they loaded it up. We both left full of carbs and dairy and are looking forward to coming back for a sandwich next time. (I ate mine too fast to take a pic) read more

They have a good selection of bagels. The bagels sandwiches are quite delicious. Minimal coffee options. It's a nice store that was very friendly and quick with service. If you're looking for a tasty bagel I would recommend it! read more

Oh my! Great bagels & bagel sandwiches. Small cozy business where you can see them make the bagels.

Excellent variety of tasty bagels No wait when we went bordered in advance and they were ready be sure to use pick up line, not main line. We'll be back. read more

They can get pretty crowded on the weekends, but they are always rather quick and friendly! It's a great place for breakfast and the everything bagel is soo yummy! read more

OMG, you haven't had a sandwich bagel until you've had one here!! great atmosphere and great food...and fresh bagels!!

My wife and I decided to go here for a second time for breakfast. It was Sunday the eve of Yom Kippur. We ordered six bagels to go , and was going to order two sandwiches. At 10:30 am I was told they had no bagels and I should have preordered it. Really!!! I don't think so - you should have been more prepared. You had almost 4 hours to go till closing. How does a bagel shop run out of bagels!! The bagels are good - would have loved to eat them and break my fast with them. read more

Bagels were good. Atmosphere average for a bagel shop. Service friendly but slow and a bit disorganized.

Great New York bagels with the variety of flavors along with premium lox, pastrami and more!

Had the sausage, egg, cheese bagel; very good and filling! Egg was perfect. Salt bread was great.

Food is always top-notch. Lox is fresh and delicious, and the bagels are next level. Produce is always fresh. Highly recommend!

Great bagels and great service. Ambiance good be a little nicer but overall a very nice experience

It's a decent bagel, but the ones I tried were overproofed and a bit on the bready side. Still good, but I (15+year bread baker) make better at home. read more

Get here early on the weekend or you won't have much selection. That's because they're so darn good they fly off the shelves. They open at 9 - by 940 this morning they were down to one delicious flavor (poppy seed.) This is in a bakers coop in the Forum on Olive. Neat little storefront that features a curated collection of locally produced yum yums. Stop by to grab a bagel and see what else's you can see - you won't regret it! Service dog experience: Crickets - no mention whatsoever. A+! read more

Sad, Scott & Doug have not trained their staff how adjust the speed of the toaster. I was informed they are NOT allowed to change the speed to fill my request for "lightly" toasted bagels. Maybe they believe their team isn't smart enough to change the settings back. read more

Great breakfast bagel sandwiches. Just be care when ordering on line. When you start the order it states 10-15minutes but after you pay and confirm the receipt shows 55 minutes read more

Very good bagels and quick service but very pricy for a bagel Salmon sandwich.(about $16).

The bagels are very good. Good texture and crunch (especially after toasting) and the doughiness is spot on. The service is good and friendly and they're willing to go the extra mile. You'd better get here early before they sell out or you may be disappointed. I'll give them 4.5 cups of coffee! read more

The BEST bagels ever!! The bagels are fresh and tasty, so many flavors. Much better than Panera.

Favorite bagel shop! Nice staff when they're not slammed. Get there early for bagels. I hope they keep offering sandwiches as that's what really sets them apart. Had the bacon egg bagel; not as scrumptious as I have had as far as eggs and cheese combo but it will do. read more

Better than a "Killer Pastrami" sandwich! Very nice service and great people. The restaurant is neat and clean. read more

Best bagels in STL. They get busy quick so that can lead to long line but that's because the secret is out! Everyone loves this place.

Fantastic bagels! We loved the cheese bagel (hot out of the oven at 9:15 AM!) and took them home to make some insanely good breakfast sandwiches. Saved the everything bagel for another sandwich today. Great texture and taste--give them a try! Because they are located in The Baker's Hub, there are other treats for sale for a full bakery experience, but the bagels were the stand out for me. read more

I only ever get bagels to go, but they're always fresh and chewy! One of the better bagel places in the chesterfield area

This is my second time at Lefty's; I was underwhelmed the first time I'd visited so came in with high hopes and low expectations. I can't quite put my finger on it, but this place just doesn't seem to have a whole lot of pride in what they are doing. There were two employees - possibly owners - standing off to the side, speaking with a customer and one girl working the register who was obviously flustered that she had to take care of the customers by herself. At one point, she snapped, "can one of you please help me so that I can continue cutting these bagels?" A legit concern, and one of the men stepped over to assist with two customers. The mood is just not very friendly, the ambience is a bit slapdash and sterile, and the bagels, sadly, fall short of expectations. I don't think it would take much to up the quality and experience, but having witnessed the lackluster attitude and general attitude among staff, I'm not sure if this is possible, either. The only exception was the shorter gentleman who gave me my order in a bag - he was friendly, pointed out where I could get napkins, and I heard him greeting the next customer with a good positive tone. Perhaps he is the owner - if so, then, new staffing is an order, but his enthusiasm is strong. read more

Our favorite place for bagels but especially good for matzo ball soup this time of year. Everyone is very friendly and make taking kids here easy. read more

I'm from NY: these are very good bagels; crust could be chewier. But: (1) the whitefish salad on my sandwich was NOT whitefish salad--it was just chunks of fish. (2) the sandwich had no lettuce/tomato/capers/etc. --it was a bagel with a schmear and some chunks of fish, not a sandwich. (3) never put sweet bagels in the same bag as everything/garlic/onion bagels!!!! read more

It's as close as you'll get to a NY bagel. The prices were rather high, especially a hot cup of tea for $4.25 next time I'll get my bagels to go make my own sandwich and drink at home. I would recommend it if you're looking for something other than a mass produced bagel from Panera though. The staff was very friendly and again, it's the best bagel I've had since moving here. read more

Excellent bagels, best in St. Louis - get there early, it is a really popular place. Cream cheese is fresh and flavorful.
