Fresh made bagels everyday also incredible coffee! Clean and inviting environment! I don't even care if this is the only bagel place in town, cant compete where do u don't compare! read more

Native Bagel Company - Everything bagel w cream cheese! - Bagels Near Me - Berea, Kentucky

See all

Native Bagel is aesthetically pleasing. They offer great locally sourced food and coffee. Their staff members are kind. The building can get crowded and harder to navigate on busy mornings. [TLDR] I'm not super into bagels so when my friends suggested that we go to Native Bagel, I wasn't sure if I'd be a fan. But their bagels are soooooo much better than anything you can get at the store. I mostly get their seasonal cream cheeses like the strawberry and pumpkin. I wish they had more cream cheese options. It does seem like they've been experimenting with different flavors and menu items recently. I like their coffee more than any other coffee shop in the area. I prefer my coffee on the sweeter side. I get the iced raspberry (or blackberry) white mocha. It's perfect! I like that I can order online. When you place an online order, they will set your order at the end of the bar near the door when it is done. The staff members are pretty nice. If you order at the counter, they will bring your food out to you. You have to throw away your trash when you are finished. The aesthetic is so pretty. I love the vibes. There are two single stall gender neutral restrooms located to the left of the order counter. They are decent size restrooms. My one gripe is about the size of the venue. It's small and a little crammed, especially since they put in the bar. At times, the place is hard to navigate as an able bodied person, so I'd imagine a disabled person with mobility issues or even someone with a stroller would have a harder time. There is a ramp to get into the main entrance of the building, however, the door is not automatic. I figure there's not much they can really do to solve the issue unless they expanded the building which I understand isn't quite feasible. I only bring this up because I love Native Bagel and I feel like it kinda does impair the experience a little bit. A person with a mobility aid would probably have as easier time navigating Just Love Coffee Cafe down the street than Native Bagel. If you go on Saturday morning it is often crowded! Be prepared to wait in line, and know that there may not be a free table to sit inside. I know this because my friend group and I went every week when we were enrolled at Berea College. There are a few tables outside by the parking lot. Also keep in mind that toward the end of the day they can start to run out of bagels. In the evening, they use the same venue for Nightjar, a bar and dine in restaurant. read more

This place is popping on a Saturday morning but still a very friendly staff and relaxing vibe. Would highly recommend the crème brulegal on a lemon zest bagel - probably one of the best sweet bagels I've ever had. Will definitely be coming back! read more

We were first time customers and Yelped this place on our way from Charlotte to Indy. It was still before noon and decided to give a local place a try. They offer a variety of bagels and bagel sandwiches. My husband and I both ordered breakfast sandwiches and a single serve coffee. They offer 'bottomless' cups of coffee or a single version. We opted for a single cup. We go to fill our coffee cups and they run out of coffee. She says she'll make some more which she does but doesn't come tell me she fills it. I find out because i see someone else go up to fill their cups. A few minutes later they bring our food out and we look at it and they switched up the meats on our sandwiches so i had to ask them to remake them. So our single cup of coffee was long gone before we even got our food. Not sure how long this place has been in business but i feel you could work a little on your communication. Amongst the employees and to your customers. read more

The creme bruleegel is guuuuuuuhhhhhd and the wall of happy plants brightens the spirit!

This place and its wonderful workers never fail to bring joy to me and all those around me! I recommend that everyone should try it whether you are settling into your new dorm or just passing by! Its bagels are like clouds I crave every morning. The vibe inside is very nice not too crowded or noisy but at its peak it can host plenty of chatter. I would recommend the egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel or the avocado toast on an everything bagel. read more

A busy bagelry which offers sit-in breakfast as well as the bunches of bagels to go. I was intrigued by their falafel sandwich and while it did not come with the pickled okra that I saw in some earlier documentation, the falafel itself plus the greens and pickled onions still made for an impressive flavor combination and a worthy breakfast. My chai latte was large and had a soft, warming spice combination. The bagels themselves offer a rich flavor with a hint of sourness and a well-boiled exterior. I had no trouble finishing off that half dozen, either plain or toasted with an appropriate spread, and the flavor mix included classics with a few innovations. No wonder they're so highly rated; I couldn't find anything negative to say either. read more

First time visit was amazing! I got a Carmel latte with oat milk and it was the best I have ever had! I tried the egg and cheese bagel, and as you can expect it was also delicious. It was crowded inside but easy to navigate to the register. Very chill environment and friendly people! read more

My favorite is the beer cheese whipped into cream cheese garlic bagel- so good. Their staff is always top-notch as well! I'd go there every morning for breakfast if I had time! They have the best avocado toast (topped with a fried egg)If you've never been, you've got to check them out! Their friendly staff and cozy atmosphere don't hurt! We happened on this place while traveling and I am so glad we stopped! read more

Thank goodness these people actually cared to say hello to their customers even though they were super busy. Had the bacon and scallion cream cheese bagel. 10/10 recommend.

Visited this shop with my fiance and Lauren helped us out. Coffee was great, food was exceptional, service was extraordinary. Lauren was so personable and helpful;, she helped us with the menu and gave us her recommendation, which was on point. The service from Lauren was 5 stars in itself and the food was the added plus. Thank you so much Lauren! read more

The best bagels, cream cheese spreads, sandwiches, and sweets! I love this place. The staff is always nice and helpful.

I did not agree with their stance on masks during COVID; complex times I'm over it as they have some damn good bagels, love their day olds for 5 bucks for a half dozen. read more

Excellent!! Great food, service, and local breakfast stop. Located in a cute historic college town.

Best breakfast sandwich in town!!! I love this place's not fond of their coffee but the bagel and eggs are delicious.

Worth four stars. Food is good but not very memorable. They were out of a lot of bagels. Lots of vegetarian options. Clean dining room. Service was average. Employees seemed fairly indifferent. I would eat there again, but I would get the breakfast bagel. read more

We popped into Native Bagel after a hike at the pinnacles and it was exactly what we were looking for. Fun bagel combinations; jalapeños schmear, blackberry jelly and egg. The workers were so helpful with choosing what to order and their suggestions. The environment was cute and stylish. read more

To start, the food is so delicious! I recommend that everyone give this place a shot. The service is amazing. My negative comments are less about the food and more about the recent atmosphere shift. I used to love coming here to do computer work, but lately, the music has made it difficult to even eat in at all. The music recently took a turn and now it's not only too loud but disruptive because the song choices make no sense for a coffee shop. They're mixing up Disney tunes, 2000s hits, and a bunch of other random genres that don't really flow together. One moment you're jamming to "The Lion King," and the next they switch it up to Pentatonix. It's like they've got the same playlist on repeat every single time I go. I realize it may seem like a small thing, but music is a big deal for setting the mood of a place and I miss being able to enjoy sitting down. read more

Cool spot with great coffee! The interior is nice and seems to be all to go for covid. The bagels looked amazing but I wasn't hungry. Will definitely try next time I go back! read more

I left Cincinnati driving back home to GA. I needed gas and was hungry, so I opened Yelp and searched "breakfast". Native Bagel Company with a 5 star rating popped up. I would rather support a local mom and pop than a chain. I pulled into the parking lot where I found another family that did the exact same thing as I did. I asked them is this place worth it... They said it was exactly what they were hoping it would be from the yelp reviews. I came in and ordered a coffee and a Bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a sesame bagel. As I was waiting for my breakfast to be made many locals came in said hello to each other. It was DELISH! Great stop and a great food find!!! read more

Don't go here because it seems like it's one of the only places in town to grab breakfast (although in Berea...). Go here because the food is amazing! The line on a Saturday morning was absurd, but Berea doesn't really have any options, so stick it out. You won't be disappointed. Our food was made fresh to order and was served steaming hot. The coffee was excellent too. No Folgers served in this joint! This is the kind of establishment we are happy to spend a little extra to support. Every penny spent was absolutely worth it. AND I just learned that it's woman-owned! Heck yeah! read more

Probably the best bagels I've had outside of NYC. They source as many of their ingredients as they can from the Berea College Farm, which means they're about as fresh as they can be. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and even let my goddaughter try a flavored cream cheese to see if she liked it before she committed to it. It's located in an old building with original hardwood floors, so you'll have plenty of interesting things to look at while you're there. read more

Love this place! A lot of thought has gone into making this new business a success. The owner uses local foods so she can insure the quality of her ingredients, and it is evident in the food she serves. I had the most delicious mocha. It was so good that I ordered another to go. I also had an egg, cheese, and sausage breakfast sandwich on a toasted sesame bagel. In a word - nirvana. While we were there, they were testing a new item, Golden Milk made with turmeric. Coincidentally, a customer came in to request it although it wasn't on the menu yet. They asked the customer to try it and give them her opinion. She loved it. It was wonderful to see a business that valued customer input. If you are ever in Berea, make sure to stop at Native Bagel Company. You'll love this place as much as I do. read more

Ham Panini was Fabulous. My go to place for Bagels and cream cheese when I'm in town visiting my daughter.... too bad she's moving to Missouri read more

This locally owned bagel shop rocks. Found them in Yelp after pulling off the interstate to fuel my buggy. I just couldn't stomach another drive thru, nor did I want to blow time at a sit down. A little drive up the hill is the quaint town of Berea and smack in the middle the bagel shoppe. I'm starting to get giddy. Ordering was a breeze and within a few my fried egg, cheese and sausage was all nestled into a fresh, soft and chewy salt bagel. The egg was just runny enough to say "oh, my" but not so much as to run down your arm and onto your shirt (yea, been there). Perfect for driving. I say drive up the hill past all the crappy nationals and "Give em a Whirl!" read more

Always hit Native Bagel when I'm in Berea. Had it yesterday and this morning for breakfast. Yesterday, I had a cheese bagel, toasted with plain cream cheese. Today, I ate a cinnamon-raisin bagel, plain cream cheese, and a chai latte. The bagels are fresh, chewy, and amazing. The cream cheese is whipped and comes in a reasonable quantity. The chai was good, but I prefer a stronger brew. Food is amazing. Service is amazing. Well worth a trip. read more

Katie and her bagel slingers know how to make a dang good bagel! This is the best breakfast food in Berea. The shop is conveniently located to Old Town, Berea College campus, and the Chestnut Street district. It is a beautiful and welcoming environment. Their commitment to the Berea community with locally sourced ingredients enhances every breakfast and lunch; my favorite local toppings are the eggs from the Berea College Farm and the most amazing seasonal strawberry cream cheese from Lazy 8 farms. I've watched Native Bagel grow from a food truck at the farmers market to the actual #1 bagel in Kentucky (Taste of Home 2020) and have loved every bite. read more

I was happy I stopped here for a falafel sammie and savory croissant. Both were tasty lunchtime options. Another perk was tasting kombucha and chip from other Appalachian businesses. Native Bagel encompassed the kind of local flavor I crave when visiting a new city. I would recommend it to any Yelper. read more

I can't praise this business enough! Such a friendly atmosphere with delicious food. What I admire about this female-ran business is their commitment to the community. Their cream cheese and food products are made from locally-sourced ingredients, and they have a wide variety of handmade bagels to choose from. I also admire their emphasis on sustainability by offering eco-friendly utensils. The sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on a pretzel bagel is absolutely the best! The chipotle mayo gives it that extra hint of flavor. And their house coffee is great. Their Beekeeper Latte is made from local honey, and it is delicious. My husband isn't too fond of coffee or lattes, and he says this drink is amazing. This business does require masks and is following state and federal guidelines for COVID-19. You can place orders online for pick up, or you can eat there. There are signs in the building regarding seating, and there are a few outdoor seating options. This made me feel so comfortable and safe while waiting for food. I do wish there were more outdoor seating options, but with a limited space, I think they do an amazing job. Definitely a place to go if you're ever in Berea! read more

Love this place. Pretty much everything on the menu is excellent and you can tell it's made with care. My food is usually ready early never had any complaints service wise. I've never eaten in there only done pickup but it definitely seems like a decent place to hang out. read more

Everything was delicious and made super fast by super friendly people! I can't say enough good things! I had the Curried Chicken Salad on a Salt Bagel and my wife had an Egg and Cheese on a Plain bagel. I had an Iced Chai latte and she had a Coke. The staff wore masks even though they are no longer required and the place is well ventilated. The decor is super cute too! Definitely recommend! read more

Great little spot about three minutes off exit 76. The place is super cute and modern inside with lots of plants, and bright lighting. It felt like I was in a modern city within the small town of Berea. I had the egg and cheese bagel on an everything bagel and a cold brew. Hands down one of the best bagels I've ever had. The service was quick, and you can't beat the freshly made food compared to your on the road options. Thanks so much for the pleasant experience! read more

the most delicious bagels and hot chocolate i've ever had. cheap prices, too! i believe everyone should eat here at least once.
