Meshuggah has the best bagels, hands down. I stopped in this week to pick up bagels for the office. The bagels were still warm and smelled delightful. They have great flavors and the staff is always ready to provide a recommendation when you can't decide. I also appreciate the board with recommended combinations of bagels and cream cheese flavors. read more

Stopped in here this past weekend, after taking the dog to run around at the park. I've been aware of Meshuggah Bagels for a long time. They've been there a long time, but I never had the occasion to actually stop in. They were busy, but the line moved quickly. They're efficient. After waiting about 5 minutes, I ordered 6 bagels and two schmears to go, and when I got home, we toasted a couple bagels and schmeared them up. We were so pleased with the food. The bagels were fresh and delicious and everything we wanted. Put bagels at other places to shame. read more

Hands down the best bagel shop in KC! Having lived in Cleveland with a large Jewish community I had been searching for an authentic bagel place in KC. So glad they are in convenient places to grab a dozen. I bought some for team so they could enjoy what bagels are supposed to taste like. Everyone loved them! Super friendly staff & quick service. read more

I love this company! I was addicted to "bagel, lox & cream cheese" for years when I lived on the East Coast. When I moved here, I found a bagel shop and went in & ordered my "bagel, lox & cream cheese". They had never HEARD OF IT. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone! NOT ANYMORE! read more

Great Bagels- aka their one food item Friendly and straightforward service. No real ambiance to speak of really, just a "plain" but good Bagel place. OMG had the Salt (big bits o salt) bagel the other day with Garlic schmear - hooked me on their bagles. Took 1/2 dozen home They have good spread/schmear flavors, Garlic, Plain, Rosemary Garlic, Everything, Strawberry, Blueberry, Dill and more. They have good coffee too,, medium roast and tasty. They're right on the South side of the buildings by Da Bronx off Metcalf. read more

I love this place. I found them during Covid when Einstein Brothers stopped allowing dining in. Staff are typically friendly and helpful and the coffee is excellent and the food is very good. Best of all is they have bialys in addition to a wide selection of bagels. My only (mild) complaint is that they're closed on Mondays. I respect a business it takes a day off to allow staff time to regroup. I highly recommend this location. I like the decor with kitchen items and a nice selection of Delft-like China on the walls. Good food, friendly staff, pleasant environment, that checks all my boxes! read more

They have the freshest, tastiest bagels in the metro! I always order the everything. I don't know why the seasoning is better than anywhere else. It's cheaper to order in bulk. The smears are pricey because you have to pay more for fresh, homemade kosher food. This is one of my guilty pleasures! read more

We have driven by here many times and finally stopped to try what has been called a real New York style bagel. Well, this suggestion was right on. This was an excellent bagel in NY style. Chewy outer shell and soft inside. It would stack up to any bagel shop in New York city. Everything was nice and fresh. So, with that said you are probably wondering why I only gave it 4 stars. Well, two reasons: First, we got an everything bagel, and a cinnamon and blueberry bagel. There were very few blueberries in the second bagel. Second, we wanted them with butter. It is under the heading of a schmear on your bagel. They have a lot of choices. The bagel itself was $2, the bagel with a schmear was $4.25. Which I would normally be fine with, however butter was in the schmear catelgory. So, for getting my bagel with a swipe of butter it was more than the bagel itself. Here is picture of the bagel. Sorry I took several bites before I remembered to get a picture. I will definitely be going back, however will be bringing the bagels home to use my own butter. read more

Meshuggah Bagels - Everything bagel, minus a bite - Bagels Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Nestled in an unassuming strip mall along bustling Metcalf Ave, one could easily overlook Meshuggah Bagels. While this is easy to do, it's a massive mistake. Meshuggah Bagels is to my knowledge a family owned and operated bagel business in KC that operates at least two locations within the metro, and specializes in authentic NY style bagels. If you're like me, and you haven't ever lived in NYC you might not yet understand the importance of a local bagel spot, just stop into this place to have your worldview on this breakfast staple rocked. When you walk in on a busy weekend morning you will be welcomed by the delightful scent of freshly baked bagels. If you're lucky you might even see them baking them in the back which is pretty cool if you're a midwesterner like myself unaccustomed to the process. The menu is pretty simple, bagels, schmear, and lox if you so desire. Personally, I go here for the homemade cream cheese as much as I do the bagels, though admittedly the bagels are the star of the show. With flavors like cookies and cream it really can enhance your overall bagel journey. The bagels themselves are always warm and while you can toast them, they don't really need it since the flavor and texture is so wonderful. As others have noted in reviews it's great to order ahead, I usually do this from bed, and then get myself out the door to pick it up, hot and ready when they open. If you don't order ahead be prepared to wait a bit in line and to dine at home. They do have some seating but it's a pretty small place and not really built in a way that makes dining in amazing. Enjoy! read more

SLOW, SLOW, SLOW!!! DEFINITELY not NY bagels. They're fine and taste good for the most part and the only reason I'm putting 2 stars. Wife and I ordered two bagels toasted with schmear. Took 15 minutes. The location in OP, KS had different staff at one point, and the new people have changed the experience for me. Will definitely be thinking twice about whether I return or not. read more

I ordered a vegan cream cheese bagel with smoked salmon. I'm lactose intolerant so I don't get to order this kind of stuff so this was nice. The cream cheese tastes like the real deal and the environment was nice. They don't have outdoor seating setup but hopefully soon! read more

Meshuggah Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

If you love bagels, this needs to be your go-to! Their bagels are always fresh and the service is always kind. This is a great idea for a group breakfast or large group meal. They make it easy to order one bagel or as many as you need + lots of different schmears. read more

Five stars for the bagels, four stars for the set up & execution, and three for the service. If you are wise enough to order ahead of time, then you can skip the last two items and you'll get five star bagels. If you want to just go enjoy a bagel and maybe a cup of coffee, then the line jams at the door, the table layout is still in COVID mode, and the service line seems to be in reverse order. Great bagels, from the simplest to add-in items (the Mrs. is a sucker for pumpernickel with plain schmear and laid) with plenty of options. I love me a sesame with a crazy amount of plain cream cheese and Meshuggah's comes through strong! Easy to find, easy to enjoy. Perfect option for skipping a larger sit-down meal and still enjoying some breakfast fare. Work on the flow inside and this is a winner. read more

Everything was very fresh! Some of the best bagels I've ever had. Service was quick! We had the Plain bagel with Blueberry schmear and an everything bagel with veggie schmear. read more

I always thought the best bagel I've had was Bagels on the Hudson in Hoboken, NJ. The second best was Bagel Bin in Omaha, NE. This tops both of them. This was the perfect Everything Bagel - a bit hard on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Just like a bagel should be. The scallion schmear is soooo good. I love savory bagels and savory cream cheese. Great spot for take out breakfast. I wish I lived in KC so I could get this often. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday morning to get some bagels to go and they were so chewy. They did not taste fresh at all and were very hard to chew. We got a few different ones and all of them tasted the same. So disappointed will not be going back. read more

Service was great, bagels a notch above Panera. Definitely not NY bagel. Glass on bagel case had fingerprints all over glass. Limited seating inside. read more

Easy to order your bagels. The bagels are so good! We always buy a 1/2 dozen to take with us and freeze at home and eat later. The place is always clean and inviting. I highly recommend this place. read more

Best bagels in Kansas City. Decent amount of seating and parking available. Bagels always come out fresh

Pretty good. It had been on my husband's to go list. Good to have another choice beyond Einstein and Panera chains. I like the idea of supporting a local, family owned business! I had the salmon one- was pretty good! Not much coffee choices which I felt was maybe missing- but will still probably be going again when in the mood for bagels! My bagel was not warm; I had thought after reading the comments that it might be and did not ask - but maybe next time I will ask for it to be toasted; definitely a first world problem!!! It's a cute little place, and a good option for a quick breakfast! read more

Great spot for bagels - definitely the best in the KC area! Make sure to get there early before they run out!

We had a yummy experience at this location. The bagels were delicious and plump. This cafe also has every type of cream cheese you could imagine! read more

The food was great but the service was lacking. The cashier was rude and very pushy. It was our first time here and we made our choices before even getting up to the cashier so it wasn't like we walked up unprepared to order. read more

One of the workers was very rude while I was ordering my bagel. Although the food was yummy, the poor service was the downfall of my experience. read more

Incredible bagels!! It does not get any better than Meshuggah if you love a good bagel. We have tried a variety and all are incredible. We also enjoy getting a variety of schmears. Our favorites are jalapeno, toasted everything, and smoked salmon. My husband is a big fan of the pastrami smoked salmon. We order to go through the app and it does require a bit of notice, it's always easy to pick up. Great service. Small shop. Most orders are taken to go. read more

Great bagels, staff sometimes rude. I don't know if they are just overwhelmed or customers are being rude to them, but a couple of times now we've made our order and been treated as though we are bothering them. Asking for our bagels to be toasted got us an eye roll. read more

The bagels are large, filling and served with heaping amounts of schmears and toppings. The prices are a little high, but you won't get cheated. You won't go hungry, either. read more

Having drooled over their social media pictures for quite some time, I finally made it to this fantastic bagel place! While not quite at Seattle level, these bagels are definitely the best in Kansas City. My everything bagel was delicious and they don't hold back on the smear. Absolutely tasty. I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

I adore these bagels! Honestly you won't find more authentic delicious bagels anywhere in KC, and it's a treat every time! The dough is divine, and the bagels have a lovely chew to them. The only reason for four stars is that for $4.50 for a bagel with schmear, I always hope for more schmear than the scant amount they scrape on my bagel. I'm a schmear-hound, so maybe what they do is the "right" amount but dear lord please absolutely SMOTHER my bagel in that delicious garlic-dill or veggie spread. The service is also decent, not above and beyond, but not unkind. If you crave a solid bagel and don't feel like patronizing some chain like Einstein's, go meshuggah! read more

a quick and delicious breakfast is just what we needed the other morning, as the beautiful weather had us ready for our first hiking/biking adventure of the season on the menu: everything bagel & rosemary garlic schmear, everything bagel & lox, chocolate chip bagel & cinnamon schmear, plain bagel & schmear, cinnamon raisin bagel & butter our thoughts: still the best bagels in town and perfect for an on-the-go breakfast...order the everything bagel it truly is EVERYTHING #boyswhobrunchkc read more

The bagels are great. Stayed great all week. The cream cheese was amazing. Service was great. The restaurant was filled. Will return.

A coworker told me about Meshuggah Bagels so I decided to grab a dozen for the team. The bagels are fresh and I like the fact that their shmears are made fresh as well. I ordered the Smoked Nova Lox bagel but it was too salty, so I had to remove the lox and enjoyed the Bialy (bagel with caramelized onions on top) with cream cheese. 5* - Service 4* - Speed 5* - Freshness 4* - Quality read more

I would recommend this place. BEST BAGEL IN kc. But today i ordered a $2.25 bagel with butter. The butter was $2.50. The explanation was it is a cream cheese topping. WHAT A SCAM!!!!!!!! Very disappointing to be charged more for butter than bagel!!!!!!! Be very careful read more

Great place! I went inside to check it out since I've never been before, and was surprised by how it busy it was on a Sunday mid-morning! I had toasted chocolate chip bagel with plain cream cheese, it was delicious. My one fault is that I forgot to specify that I wanted my cream cheese on the side for my other bagel, but I didn't know that the default was for it to go on it. Next time I will be utilizing the online ordering. It was a cozy spot, and seems to be very popular. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

We picked up some bagels before we headed to Shatto's Milk tour. There were many to choose from but settled for raisin and everything bagels. I guess the price is a bit steep but fresh bagels. To be fair, this is no different than Bruegger's which is my go-to bagel place for NYC style. So, this gets OK in my books since only Fingale a Bagel (Faneuil Hall- Boston) gets my highest vote. read more

The moment the bagels got to the car they were absolutely destroyed because of how amazing they smelled. I didn't even get a picture before I dug right in! These bagels are soft and moist and loaded with cream cheese. There are so many delicious flavor choices, both sweet and salty. Pair that with the plentiful cream cheese flavor options, you have a plethora of combinations to choose from. I promise you, not a single combination will disappoint. We waited an extra 10 or so minutes after our order was supposed to be ready, but the store was jam packed full of customers so it was understandable. And these bagels are definitely worth the wait - especially my personal favorite, the chocolate chip bagel with cinnamon sugar cream cheese. This is a great choice to bring in for office parties, to pick up when guests are in town, or just for a yummy start to your morning. read more

I will keep this short and sweet. It has been damn near impossible to find a decent bagel spot in Olathe. Unless I am going to a chain, I have given up on finding a morning spot to get a simple schmear and toasted everything bagel. What I did find was Meshuggah Bagels which is in OP. While it is a slightly longer drive from home, I grabbed a half dozen and one schmear for the road. Overall, I enjoyed these bagels, the dough flavor was good and the bounce to the bagel was what I was expected. My only critique was the everything bagel was slightly too salty for my liking but that is okay. I will still order a couple to bring home and pop into the freezer for a bagel kind of morning. I give this place a 4 out of 5 for creating a good bagel that hits the mark. IF only it was closer but that is a "me" problem. read more
