Shug's is such a convenient and great option, especially if you're up early and can't sleep! We had just gotten back from Europe and were awake by 3 AM, so the fact that Shug's opened much earlier than a lot of other breakfast spots was a lifesaver. We got the Original Shug, which came with bacon, egg, cheese, and a hash brown, plus a jalapeño cheese bagel with scallion cream cheese. The Shug was delicious, but I did feel like it was missing some kind of sauce -- a spicy mayo or something similar would have made the flavors pop so much more and probably would have taken it to a 10/10 for me. The standout, though, was definitely the jalapeño cheese bagel with scallion cream cheese. The bagel had the perfect texture and crunch, and everything was just prepared so well. I'd absolutely come back for that one, and I'd get the Shug again too -- I'd just ask for some kind of spicy sauce on the side next time. Overall, we loved it and will definitely be coming here for all our bagel needs! read more

i loved the decor and vibe of the inside. i tried coming here the week they opened and the line was wrapped around the corner so i'm glad I came at 7am to being one of their first customers of the day. first thing i noticed was how CLEAN their kitchen was. they were making their bagels from scratch, getting prepped and ready for the day salt bagel: i am a salt monster but this was wayyyy too salty....maybe its the combo of salt bagel plus the garlic herb spread? very overwhelming combo. the bagel itself was quite stiff rather than chewy. blueberry bagel: i am not usually a sweet bagel person but wow this bagel was fresh, chewy, and so good. there are whole fresh blueberries in the spread that you can pick out. the bagel is much softer than the salt bagel. can't believe i'm saying this but....i'm getting a sweet bagel next time worth the hype? i'd say so!! best bagels in austin tx. i also love Nervous Charlies but if we're judging by the quality of just the bagels, Shug's! I do love the nervous charlies bagel sandwiches! read more

Shug's is solid. It's easily a top 4 spot for me for a bagel in ATX. You'll want to go for their specials or BYO. I got the BYO since i have a lovely cream cheese at home I wanted to use but usually my go to is the lox. Parking is a bit tight, but you can make it work. Just be kind to the neighbors!! Welcome to Austin, shug's! read more

It seems like no matter when you arrive you will be met with a line, so be prepared. I recommend going earlier in the morning to beat the college student rush. While I don't believe the bagels hold a candle to New York bagels, I think Shug's offers a decent sandwich if you're craving bagels. Personally, the breakfast sandwich was super dry and the cheddar cheese was still cold even though they said it was toasted. They bagels are far too soft and don't have the crunchy exterior and chewy interior that I prefer in a traditional bagel. I find $18 for a lox bagel in Austin criminal, so I'd skip it. The amount of lox was pretty skimpy for the price. read more

I mean shug's is easily the best bagel sandwich in Austin. "the Shug" essentially a BEC + hashbrown is unreal. It's my go-to order and it won't disappoint. The lines look long but they go quick and their customer service is fabulous. If you haven't been yet, you MUST go. And eat it right there - don't take it home and let it get cold, you need to experience it asap. read more

For the amount of people they had in the place this morning they really did a great job of working the line. I ordered the Ruben and was really disappointed with the quality of the meat. It tastes like it was heated in the microwave, very rubbery texture and chewy . Overall service was great but this particular sandwich was very underwhelming. read more

This is the cutest bagel shop with fantastic bagels! The staff is friendly and helpful, and i love the decor. Counter service with tables available outside and a dining room in the back. I had the classic lox, and it was so good. Expensive, but good. On my next visit, i had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, tomatoes, onions and lettuce. This was just as filling as the lox, almost as tasty, and a lot less expensive. Took home a cinnamon raisin bagel and it was delish, too. Welcome to the neighborhood, Shug's! read more

New bagel joint with a following, let's go! Shug's is located on a corner at Parkway and North Lamar with two small parking lots flanking the building and nice outdoor seating fitted with fans in the front and stage left. We waited 40 minutes at Shug's Sunday soft opening this past weekend to see what the hype was all about. We had Plain bagel, French Toast bagel, Cinnamon Raisin bagel, Egg Everything bagel, and a coffee crumb cake. Bagels untoasted for this New Yorker. The bagels tasted stale. This was day 2 of the soft opening. They were not soft and chewy. A BEC was 2.50 bagel, 3 egg, 4 bacon, .75 cheese. $10.25. More than the local bodega and in many solid NYC bagel joints. Sad I missed day one soft opening. They have sweets such as black and white cookies flown in from NY. The person I asked didn't have any more details about where exactly. The coffee crumb cake was delicious. There is a self serve water station with cups by the bathroom. I might return when they're more settled. Would not go out of my way for and definitely would not wait in any line for these bagels. read more

First off, so freaking cute inside! Love the old-timey vibe. The line was long, but it moves fast. I got the Bagel & Lox and it was really good... but for a hefty price ($18)!! Although, apparently the lox is flown in from NY, so I guess that explains it Still really good and I'd definitely come back to try more! read more

Had a toasted everything bagel that my son-in -law and daughter had at their house. I toasted it, put on a little butter, and a little lox. I thought it was the best bagel I have eaten in Austin. Legit NY bagel-like appearance, tastes and crunchy exterior. Nice job! I grew up in NY Ang go there at least once a year, so I am well aware of what a great bagel should taste like ... read more

Shugs makes the most of the old Austin Java local. Bagels were perfectly chewy. I had the HP and my wife had the lox. Solid breakfast choice. They had inside seating when we went which is good because I'm still not enjoying the heat. read more

Been hearing from all my Dallas friends how good Shug's is. I've driven past this spot on Lamar 100 times and when I saw the open sign and a small crowd I've never U-turned so fast. They're doing a super soft opening and the staff were awesome and super friendly, even handing out coffee to people in line. The line filled up quick when the news got out. We grabbed a classic toasted bagel with a cream cheese "smear" (limited selection today and free) and the Spicy Shug sandwich. I can definitely see myself getting this every Saturday morning after a couple cold ones on Friday. Excited to go back and try the different bagels and cream cheeses. read more

Came here for the first time, and the line was pretty long, but after about 5 minutes I went to order and oh my god the blonde at the counter was rude! She seemed annoyed when I walked up to order and seemed pissed when I asked what egg options they had and cut me off every chance she got. She kept that energy through my entire order and I almost left, but I persisted especially after waiting in line and taking 10 minutes to find parking. The workers handing out bagels and the other cashiers seemed very nice besides her. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a plain bagel with scrambled eggs, chorizo, cheddar cheese, and jalapeño cream cheese. The sandwich was delicious, but it's not worth it coming back because there are plenty of bagel spots in Austin that are good with much better customer service. read more

Best egg bagel you can get in Texas. Rainbow cookies could use improvement but these bagels taste like the ones I grew up with on Long Island! Cream cheese was good too. read more

Yes, I agree with most people who claim it's the best bagel in Austin, perhaps tied with Brueggers. Love that the seasoning is on both sides of the bagel, love how fluffy and soft they are. Though I prefer a crispy exterior like Bruegger's. Tried the Shug sandwich, gravilox, reuben, and chicken schnitzel. I'd stick to the bagel with cream cheese or the Shug sandwich with the hash brown inside. What I didn't like--they charge 50 cents for every veggie topping! What sandwich place charges for each topping on a 4.5" bagel? It's not a 12" pizza pie lol. I was charged a whole extra $2 for a smidgen of cucumber, dash of red onion, etc. That's ridiculous. Spent $40 on two sandwiches and regular coffee. Better getting your sandwich elsewhere like Brueggers or Little Deli and stick with a simple bagel and cream cheese here. read more

Yum yum yum! Reminded me of NYC, and that's all I ever want from a bagel shop. Will absolutely be back. Small parking lots, but easy to park across the street...and tons of seating inside, the decor is so cute. Can't wait to try everything on the menu!! read more

We arrived here around 9am. Luckily we came before the rush. We can tell that the guy that took our order was new. He used the tiny handheld device instead of the big pos screen? Not sure why. lol. I repeated my order maybe 4-5 times and yet when we got home. The order was not even right. I asked him to add Tomatoes, onions, and capers to the order. It bit disappointing without those add ons. Being a Austinite I like burnt but not burnt bagels. The dining and patio area is nice. We traveled over 30 mins to get here and were disappointment with the service and quality of food. I'll give this place another shot in the future. read more

Giving it a 3 without trying it out. Been wanting to try this place so after hitting the gym this morning placed an online order at 9:00am. Pulled up and OMG the line out the door was at least 150 feet long Figured no biggie I'll just walk in and pick up my online order. Guy handling online orders asks "What time is your expected delivery?" I look at my email and see it says 1:00PM LOL I ask him is this accurate? He says Yes. Luckily was able to cancel it and went to my weekly favorite Wholly Bagel. I'll be back once demand dies down or they speed up their operation read more

This place did not disappoint! I wanted to try somewhere new and came across it on TikTok, so I had to give it a try. I got the Shug on a jalapeño cheddar bagel, and WOW--it was so tasty! Definitely glad I gave this spot a try. read more

Bland and overhyped. If you know you know. There's no flavor and the bagel is so boring it doesn't make up for the lack of taste of anything else on it. It's not a real bagel. They did rock it on the decor, vibe and buildout. Service is spotty, but generally helpful and seem to care. Went back a second time just to be sure. I don't see a return visit in my future. read more

Bagel with CC, Nova, tomato, onion, capers is $21. Rockstar Bagels and Wholly Bagels charge $13. Not worth the $8 difference. Onion bagel has a good bite, onions stick and don't fall off, $2.50 is the going rate for a decent bagel so I'll buy bagels there but not with Nova. read more

Way too much money for something I could make at home. Lil too salty however it was still good and hit my craving. Scallion vegan cream cheese was very good tho and couldn't clock that it was vegan. read more

Bomb ass lox bagel and wonderful chat / service with the person on POS named Connally. Give them a raise right now. Also worth mentioning that the inside is full of personality and love, which isn't often the case for new businesses nowadays (everything feels so sterile!) They even have the old Austin Java sign to honor the former tenant of that sweet little building :) RUN (don't walk) to Shug's because you'll need to preemptively get your calories burnt for the bagel with the ridiculous amount of cream cheese you're about to have (awesome). read more

Do they look comparable to you? Don't waste your time. The photo of what I received vs what they advertise is not even comparable, and the price was the same. 16.00 for this. Ridic! They like to price per item. I am pretty sure they owe me! So much missing from this that I paid for. read more

Everything about this place is GREAT! Smelled amazing when we walked in, staff was super friendly, the coffee (black) was SO GOOD! The bagel sandwich (garlic bagel-turkey bacon-ghost pepper cheese- hash brown) was actually the best bagel sandwich I've ever had! The place was clean. The bathrooms were immaculate and smelled good. The decor is super cute and quirky. This is going to be a regular spot for us. 10 stars!!!! read more
