    Fried salami Salami Egg and Cheese
    Melissa J.

    Started my Saturday morning off with a fresh bagel sandwich from Lefty's. I saw the fried salami on the menu and it took me back to my childhood days of enjoying this for breakfast. I immediately ordered it on a blueberry bagel for the sweet and savory mix. Suggested by the staff. It was hot, fresh, savory, sweet and full of deliciousness! What a nice walk down memory lane. Go give them a try if you are in the area. Plenty of parking - you can dine in or take it to go.

    Smoky brisket chili
    Jennifer R.

    Long review somewhere in here but since I moved to Creve Coeur, I've been here more often and I wanted to update to add: do not snooze on the Soup of the Day! The staff recommended the Lemon Orzo (not on the menu today so review pending) and today's offering: Brisket Chili. And oh myyyyyyy what a great rec! This chili is everything you could want....chunks of brisket in a smoky base that is not overly spicy but you know, going to wake up your tastebuds in the best possible way. Go. Get some chili. Or a chewy delicious bagel. Just go to Lefty's. You can't go wrong. It's just so good!

    Everything bagel toasted with a light schmear at home.

    Still looking for a great bagel in STL. Found another good, while they are quick to admit it is not a NY bagel (large, airy, while being chewy with the slightest tooth on the crust) not great bagel. I'm not sure the Lefty's bagel is boiled before baking. Tried an everything bagel and plain. First deduction, both placed on top of each other in the bag. Most shops separate via different bag or tissue wrap the everything bagels from the others. While larger than the place that went out of business in Creve Coeur the everything bagel while generally coated was meh. I will give them another try and maybe get a sandwich but unless they are on your normal route it is not worth the drive.

    The Classic Egg Sammy - add bacon and Scallion Schmear
    Mariel T.

    I'm a bit of a bagel connoisseur at this point, and lefty's did their carbs justice. I got the egg Sammy, add bacon and scallion cream cheese, and it ended up being 50 cents cheaper than the BEC (where the options force you to have a slice of cheese on it- some people love that, but I prefer to sub). Had to knock a star for the skimpy cream cheese (if I'm paying extra for that, it should be at least visible) and the sorta sad egg, HOWEVER this bagel is how bagels should be done. When I'm in town, this will be in my rotation.

    Growing up with delicious New York style bagels moving to Missouri. It's been sad that I haven't been able to find that impeccable staple... that was until I discovered Lefty's bagels! This place is everything you would ever want with fresh bagels made the right way all of the Schmear's and deli fixings! Walking in, I was transported back to the streets of New York and the great bagel deli's! They do it so well it's become part of my morning breakfast routine when I'm in town!

    I love this place however I would never ordered via Yep App ever again...when I placed my order I specified no onion, as you can see on the printed receipt, there were grilled onions in my sandwich. My order update status stated that my order stated would be ready between 734am-754am, but my order was ready 20 minutes earlier than the app stated, so that time I was waiting on my order it was already up and ready but I didn't know that because I never ordered through the Yep/GrubHub app and I probably would never do it again!

    Turkey Club Med as it comes. Delish!
    Jennifer C.

    Support Local! I've been looking for a lunch that makes me feel happy and I finally found it! Located about 6min from my office, this gem offers Breakfast and Lunch sandwiches. Today's first visit, I opted for the Turkey Club Med, just as it comes, no changes, plain bagel with a medium toast. Potato Salad as the side. The turkey is stacked!!! (See photo) I was so amazed by how much meat was on the sandwich and it was dressed well with bacon, cheese, mayo, lettuce and tomato. Great flavor in the turkey, not dry. The potato salad had an even balance of mayo, mustard and sweet dill. Very enjoyable. The staff was friendly and it maybe took 6 min to receive my order. Very fast. This will become a staple for lunch!

    The Classic Egg Sammy on an Everything bagel

    So happy. We are new to Missouri and I have yet to find a really good Bagel Shop. Well , thank the higher powers that I found Lefty's. The bagels and really good. Like really good. The egg sandwich was delish. The counter person recommended the Garlic and Herb smear , so so so happy. The smear was really good. The store was super cute. Minimal but cute. Open kitchen concept , which I love. So clean as well. Everyone who worked there was beyond friendly as well. I saw, maybe the manager, by the pick up counter, talking to everyone being super friendly. I felt very comfortable there. I'm ecstatic that I found my new breakfast spot. Sometimes u just want a BEC and now I can find one.

    Strawberry schmear on cinnamon raisin and bacon/egg/cheese sesame bagle

    Lox of love did not disappoint! Smooth cream cheese, delish smoked salmon, and a fresh everything bagel paired well together. My kids approved of the egg,cheese,bacon bagel. Fresh tasting OJ was a nice touch. The place was super busy, but the employees were constantly moving to ensure quick service. We ordered and received our food in less than five minutes. Employees were also super helpful in the ordering process. It is nice to see the bagels on display when you order. Seating is tight, but we were able to find a table.

    Bacon, Egg & Cheese
    Shelby R.

    Not bad but not particularly great. I got bacon, egg, & cheese on a plain bagel & it was good, just needed some salt & pepper. The bagel was the perfect texture. We also got a raspberry bagel with blueberry schmear. It didn't taste too much like raspberry or blueberry honestly, more like a plain bagel & cream cheese. The service was fast on a busy Saturday morning. Get there early, it seems like a popular spot & they can run out of flavors!

    I went on around 10:15 and the place was decently busy. However, the line moved quickly and were presented our food in a timely manner. I enjoyed my Lox O Love with an everything bagel. The inside is easy accessible for all parties. Their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich looked really good as well. Overall a great business for a morning breakfast in Chesterfield.

    Wow, I have been to many St Louis/Panera's all over the country and my visit to this location today…read more(3/23) was outstanding! Easy to order on the kiosk and my lunch (Autumn soup and tasty salad) was excellent and came out fast. What made this specific location GREAT was the (surprising and unexpected!) service. A nice young woman stopped by my table (and others) to check on me and offered to clear my dishes! What a nice surprise. I don't live here but if I did, I absolutely would return. Many thanks

    First of all, I want to say the service at this location is quick and efficient and appreciate the…read moreability to order online through the app. The egg and cheese brioche sandwich was just the right portion for my appetite on this Saturday morning along with the iced coffee which I have to add my sweetener and half and half. The area that can improve is the layout of the cold beverage station. It gets cramped in that corner when there is more than three customers in that area, and it is also close to the trash cans which can cause gnats and other lil bugs flying nearby the cold beverage self serve drink station. I know the staff does their best with maintaining the place and my hope is as the unlimited sip club continues to be part of Panera's business model, hope for a different layout, maybe starting off with relocating the trash cans with the bins of used dishes away from the cold self serve beverage station. Looking forward to trying more items off the improved menu.
