Some colleagues and I stopped by Rosen's Bagels before a downtown business meeting. We ordered everything bagels in preparation for our meeting. The bagels were dense yet light. The crust was slightly charred with the right level of crispiness. Cream cheese accompanied the bagels. These bagels were great bagels at a reasonable price. The bagel servers were quick, efficient and ultra friendly. Early morning vibes... read more

Disappointing? It tastes like the bagels i make at home with my sourdough starter. It was so dry, didnt rise that much, I got the salt bagel and it barely had any salt on it. I got a sausage, pepperjack cheese rose n shine and there was not much filling in it. I'm comparing this to nervous charlies in austin AND nyc bagels and this is so far down on my list. I wouldnt go back read more

Stopped by again... and yet another 5/5 experience. Blueberry bagel with blueberry spread was simply.. perfection? My full meal (2 bagel sandwiches, blueberry bagel, and a latte) was ready in 5-6 minutes I have no idea why people give this place 1-3 stars. Maybe it's changed in the last 6+ months, or maybe some people are a bit snobby about their bagels. IDK - but if you don't hit this spot, you are missing out. read more

I might have to change my bio from birthday cake to lavender This is officially stop #2 in the Austin bagel bucketlist. Coming from Atlanta where I had 2 favorite spots, this is a tough bar (proof: I went to Brooklyn Bagel Midtown once a month to get a bite of their perfectly chewy & moist bagels). I might have to standardize my orders to really make fair judgments, but my desire for novelty makes that really hard. I thought it was better than Wholy Bagel but still felt too dry for my preference. The lox schmear was great & combined well with the everything seasoning. Also, they can be more generous with the cream cheese I felt like some sections of my bagel were on thick, others nothing. The cold brew was good too. And you can't beat the lovely location in a public park! read more

I stopped by Rosen's Bagels in downtown Austin and ordered the everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the hype -- the bagel was decent, but nothing that stood out, and overall it felt just okay. I had planned to enjoy my breakfast in the nearby park, but the experience was overshadowed by the number of people loitering and panhandling in the area. It made the space feel uncomfortable and not ideal for relaxing with a meal. There's no doubt Rosen's has loyal fans, but with so many great bagel and breakfast spots in Austin, I'd say there are better options if you're looking for both quality and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

I was craving bagels this morning so I drove down to Rosen's with my husband. I was looking for something close to the ones I'd get in New York and this place wasn't bad! We got a breakfast bagel with eggs and avocado on a rosemary bagel, while I loved the sunshine sauce and the fillings I didn't love the rosemary bagel that much not sure why it tasted too gingery to me. We also got a cinnamon raisin bagel w cream cheese which was delicious and in true nyc style it was filled a whole tub to cream cheese. I loved the ambience, there were a couple of benches in the little square and some live music. Thanks to my husband we got some street parking, it wasn't too bad to find on a Saturday morning. read more

BEST BAGELS!! We got the everything seasoning The Cure beagle!! Definitely recommend and will be bring friends from out of town from here. When we arrived there was a line at the door, but the wait was worth it! The portion sizes is worth the money and we left so full. read more

Rosen's Bagels are the best in Austin. The Jalapeño Cheddar is to die for and can be enjoyed plain or as a sandwich. In addition to great bagels, their schmear is next level. I love the scallion and the lime roasted poblano! Definitely stop in and give them a try! read more

Solid bagel! However the star of the show was the white chocolate strawberry latte (not pictured). Would come back for the latte. Quick and nice service. Parking may be hard to find depending on the day. read more

This was definitely just an okay bagel spot. They didn't seem to have much variety of options on the menu. It's a nice outdoor spot where you order at the counter and they have a couple benches to sit at. I ordered an egg and cheese bagel on jalapeno cheddar. The bagel itself was pretty good was spicy with how many jalapeños it had, which I've never had before in a bagel. It was pretty crowded when we went on the first of the year, but it came out in a timely manner. read more

The attendant was on the phone when I arrived at this walk up shop on the edge of Republic Square Park downtown. I waited for 3 to 5 min while he finished his conversation. I ordered two Rose n Shine breakfast sandwiches $8. You can choose the bagel with egg, type of protein and cheese among other add-ons. I chose the Jalapeno Cheese bagel with bacon and pepper jack cheese. The other was a Parmesan bagel with ham and swiss. I also ordered a hash brown $2. When I got home and opened the hash brown, it was very thin and smaller than McDonald's but tasty. Btw I haven't been to McD in quite awhile but looked up their prices. (OMG hash browns go for $1 to $2.99 or higher in some states.) The sandwich was ok. Bagels in Texas just aren't the same as in the Northeast. Caution: If you are not a fan of garlic, this is in the spread that they put on the sandwich. I did know that they put a garlic mayonnaise on the sandwich. (Not a fan of garlic especially as a surprise) I was so hungry that I ate the Jalapeno Cheese sandwich but I went to return the other one. The attendant said he couldn't take the sandwich back. I asked him to make me another one then. He said throw it in the trash but I opted to give it to a table of homeless people instead. He made me the sandwich but said I should have read the menu (which only says spread) and that he only had a plain bagel left which was highly unlikely. Food was decent, service was sketchy and make sure to ask what the sauces consist of when ordering. read more

Rosen's Bagels - The substitute Rose n Shine sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Austin, Texas

Decent NY style bagel a crusty on the outside and soft in the center. I took away a point because they don't sell wheat bagels.

Yuck. Not a good bagel. My husband and I neither even finished half. Not the right texture. Just tasted like flavorless bread.

Went to the Guad and Lavaca location for the first time. I was excited to find a New York-style bagel place right next to my office. When I went up to the window to order, the guy was short with his words and rude. I asked what he recommended, and he just said, "All good," and that was it. I had hoped he would help me with my selection. I ended up ordering a half dozen plain bagels with plain schmear. When I got them, they were just six bagels still in the store bag -- no toasting or anything. I paid $25 for a bag of six bagels that I could've gotten from HEB. I feel so ripped off. read more

Yummy bagels. Enjoyed the conversation with the cashier about the history of bagels. When she saw my debit card we had a great discussion about the great things President Trump is doing for Israel and its great people. I enjoyed the video on their website about how to eat a bagel. read more

Bad bagels. Worse than Costco bagels. I can't believe it's called ROSEN'S! Literally the worst bagels I've ever had and I've had a lot of bagels living in nyc for 20 yrs. If you want a legit bagel don't go here. If you've never left Texas and don't know what a good bagel is this might be your jam. read more

I think this place is great for their convenience - right in republic square! it's great for an after farmers market stop on saturday's! bagel wise- i think it's okay! I did like the touch of adding a hash brown right on the bagel, but would point out the the bagel wasn't as fluffy or soft as i expected...being a bit tough to bite into. also, as you can tell, this bagel isn't the most packed bacon or cheese wise and left me desiring more. I did enjoy that they actually included jalapeño slices under the cheddar on the bagel, adding a kick of spice! we got two bagels and a coffee for about $22 if you're wondering prices. i would like to point out how great the staff is though - super friendly and welcoming so props to them! i will definitely come back to re- try their bagels as maybe I just came in on a busy Saturday morning! read more

Came by this morning and really enjoyed my experience. I ordered the Rose'n shine on plain with bacon and cheddar and WOW -- it was phenomenal. Perfectly toasted and melted and packed with flavor. Good bagel spots can be hard to come by in Austin but this is one of the best. They have lots of outdoor tables and chairs and it's a walk-up order spot. Service was great too. Highly recommend! read more

I'm from Long Island so I know bagels. These would not satisfy as a NY bagel. My order was ready when I got there so not a service thing. They just don't serve good bagels. And that is their whole purpose as bagels is in the name. Bagels. If you can't make a good bagel, why are you offering a bagel business to the public? Because most patrons aren't from NY so don't know what I'm talking about? If the owner has never been to metro NY to have a bagel - please go. if you're from NY where bagels are crisp on the outside, let me advise that this is mushy all the way thru. Please let me find a way to move away. There's actually good NY style bagels in Greenville, SC made by owners from NJ, but so far can't find anything like that here. Greenville is a shorter trip to try a good bagel than NYC area. read more

Fast service, friendly people, BUSTING bagels. Simple, nothing more to say. Must try spot!

Finally, NY Bagels in Austin! As a New Yorker that takes frequent business trips to Austin, I've been extremely frustrated with their breakfast scene for years. Texas just doesn't get either bagels or a decent egg sandwich...until now. Rosen's was awesome, great authentic fresh bagel and killer egg sandwiches with some fun an inventive options like the Poblano Scallion cream cheese. Will for sure be my go to when I come to town! read more

Rosen's is fire! The not a taco bagel is always my go to- without cilantro. Love the sauce they put on it as well. Really fire iced lattes. Although sometimes the area isn't the best. But recommend for a good bagel in austin! read more

Grew up in the tristate area and a huge fan of Liz Sue in Norwalk, CT. Rosen's bagels are mushy and have zero crisp to them. Everyone knows the best ones are boiled then baked. These aren't. I suggest the owner go to the city to try some. I got The Cure with turkey and avocado and it was roughly $16.50. Also, who in their right mind would want some sort of mayo based sauce on their BEC. No one has ever requested or wanted that sauce on the BEC. Finally, I requested an egg everything and this is what I got. Trash and not worth the price. Who would have thought that these bagels would be more expensive than a proper bagel shop in the city... read more

Rosen's Bagels - "Egg everything..." - Bagels Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow, this is not your average bagel shop. My wife took me here, and I was not expecting to have the best lox bagel of my life. You can't go wrong with any of the choices. We took some schmears for the road and they were all delicious. 5/5 best bagel shop I've been to. read more

Ordered two bagels to go (not toasted). I don't know if they were day old bagels or what, but that is definitely what they tasted like. Not sure if that's a normal thing at this location or I just got a bad batch. And I bought them at 8am so it was not late in the day. Because everyone else gave good reviews, I will probably eventually give them another shot. But it was not a good start. read more

Got the Rosen Bagel and it did not disappoint. Sandwich was well made although I wish the bagel was toasted a bit more. However what stood out to me was the wonderful service! I wanted a jalapeño cheese bagel and since they were out they added jalapeños on my sandwich no charge and were overall so friendly. read more

I've only been to Austin twice. The first time I was staying by UT-Austin, and in a moment of profound desperation, I ordered a bagel from the Einstein Bros just off campus. The disappointment was palpable. But this was Texas, I figured, and if I was hoping for a New York-caliber nosh, there was really nobody to blame but myself. So imagine my surprise and delight, coming back just a few short years later, when I stumbled upon Rosen's Bagels. On my first visit, I tried the Bodega Bagel. A lifelong New Yorker and a strong believer in the post-hangover powers of a bacon, egg, and cheese, I was astonished to discover that this particular version was, if anything, a step above the genuine article. Coming back again the next morning, I decided to make things even more simple and ordered a plain with schmear. In the process, I confirmed what I already suspected: This is a place that knows *exactly* what it's doing. In texture and taste, the bagel itself is outstanding. It's clear how much care Rosen's puts into delivering a high-quality product. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. If you're a local, count yourself lucky. If you're just passing through, do yourself a favor and add Rosen's to your itinerary. read more
