Sidedoor was a very cute shop and the bagels did had a ton of flavor! Food: I loved the level of flavor they packed into the bagels. The spicy cheddar really packed a punch and went well with the sausage and egg. I think next time I'd try something more schmear focused. Service: Staff were fast and polite. Atmosphere: The pop of color and decor is very modern and welcoming. The outdoor seating was particularly nice on the day we went. read more

Finally made it here after the weather kept me away last visit. We stopped by mid morning on a Saturday, so they were busy, as expected. If you're in a rush, definitely order online, as we saw plenty of people picking up while we were in line. I ended up going with one of my standbys at bagel shops, their sausage breakfast sandwich, which I had on a spicy everything bagel. Super messy to eat, but very good. Glad I finally stopped by! read more

Loved the bagels here -- fresh, chewy, and worth the wait, though a few small misses on my order. Came by on a busy Saturday morning (lines were long, but you can order online ahead!). I tried the Spicy Lox and the Sausage, Egg & Cheese. The lox was delicious but not actually spicy and missing jalapeños, which was a bit disappointing since it's an upcharge (but forgivable given the long lines). The Sausage, Egg & Cheese was fine, but I just wish the egg were more jammy instead of fully cooked. The bagels themselves were delicious, chewy with great texture, though the Rosemary & Salt was very salty (fair warning). The best discovery of this trip was $5 frozen bagel 6-packs. I'll definitely be back to grab more of those and try other flavors! read more

Excellent service - fast and efficient and delicious and perfectly chewy bagel that you can enjoy

I ordered two BECCY sandwiches, one on Rosemary sea salt, and the other on jalapeños cheddar bagels ... I ate mine it was AMAZING. My daughter was saving hers for lunch. I'm sure it'll be great. I love the organization even as busy as they are and everyone is so pleasant. Great way to start my day as I head to work. Thank you read more

LOVED this place!! My husband and I both got the bagel sandwiches! The jalapeño schmear was our favorite. Not spicy just good flavor!! I loved the coffee! They make all their syrups and the vanilla bean was very yummy. The only down side was the building gets really full of all people waiting for their food. They only have 3 picnic tables outside for seating. I wish there was indoor seating/ more room inside. The food is worth the wait but just plan to take it to-go. read more

It had been TOO long! That's all I'll say. My Saturdays are spent taking a nice stroll from my home & around Mass Ave. this go round I had been craving one of Sidedoor's bagels. I am SO happy I stopped. Forgot how much I enjoyed them. It was about 45 min until closing. The line was short , cashier was helpful with my order and I received my items in a timely manner. I got the weekend special bagel which was a yummy white cheddar garlic for the Beccy with plain cream cheese. For my bevy I indulged in the delicious toasted marshmallows iced latte with oatmilk. Zero regrets. Only wish I had a tiny bit more cream cheese. I'm sure this is hard because I've had one where I felt it was too much. Needless to say...Sidedoor-THANK YOU! read more

The best bagels in Indianapolis! The lox and loaded bagel with dairy free cream cheese is my go to! There is good parking out front and behind the building. The line is usually long when we get there and can wait for 20 minutes but it's always worth it. The shop has no indoor tables so be ready to take it to go. Some outdoor seating but nothing inside read more

I absolutely love this place! This is the best bagel place that I've been to in Indianapolis by far. Their sourdough bagels are out of this world and they have such a unique and creative of flavors. The only thing that I wish they did that would match Apollo bagel in New York is making them fresh out of the oven as they are ordered. But otherwise, pretty quick service and a casual spot to grab brunch. read more

Sidedoor is pretty great. I usually stick with the Beccy; the cream cheese, egg, and bacon combo is flavorful. My favorite bagels are the Spicy Everything and the Jalapeño Cheddar. It can get pretty busy if you order in person, so I usually do pickup instead. I always get a text that my order is ready a few minutes before the scheduled pickup time, which is super convenient. read more

Not to be dramatic but I don't think I've ever had a better bagel in my life!! Sidedoor had so many options for sandwiches and they even had a BYO option so you can get exactly what you want. I got a bacon and egg bagel sandwich with garlic cream cheese and it was delicious! The egg was cooked over hard and the bagel was perfectly chewy. Not to mention the homemade cream cheese was to die for. Just the right amount of garlic. The staff was friendly enough, but definitely matched the relaxed vibe of the place. It's on a street corner which makes parking just a tad difficult, but there are lots of spots and we found one pretty easily on the street. This is BY FAR the best bagel place I've had around Indy, you won't want to miss it! read more

I have to admit that I wasn't the biggest bagel fanatic before Side Door opened up shop. I tend to be more of a croissant gal, but when you make bagels to this level. It's a whole different ball game. I'm a sucker for the Rosemary sea salt, cinnamon sugar and all of the bagel sandwiches that I've experienced. Especially any of the sandwiches loaded with veggies. As I type, dripping juices onto my keyboard, I'm enjoying the Pogues run roasted turkey sandwich with pickled red onions, greens, added cucumbers, roasted tomatoes, and an herb cream cheese. It's a flavor party in my mouth. They're online ordering process is smooth and a great way to quickly get in and out and grab your treats. They also offer a few different coffee drinks to round out the experience. I'm always amazed with all of their sandwich creations and the way they lean into the produce seasons. So grateful for this Windsor Park treasure. read more

So to start, this place is exactly what it sounds like, a small restaurant, that serves coffee, bagels and sandwiches. On the ambiance side it was cute and fun and the service was great! The breakfast sandwich was fantastic. I got it on the cheesy bagel with garlic smcheer. Highly recommend! Also got the spicy everything bagel with their chili smcheer and it was also awesome. The only thing I might knock this place on is the small amount of breakfast sandwich options. The options are great but very few to choose from. Overall this is added to my breakfast sandwich and bagel go tos for sure! read more

I got the egg and Schmear bagel with a spicy everything bagel and it was very delicious. We had to drive home with the bagels but even with 15+ minutes, the bagels were still super soft and had the perfect chew. The spicy everything bagel is a flavor I haven't seen before, it's not very spicy but its got great flavor. I was also able to try a little bit of the herb and garlic smear, and that was very intensely herby. I liked it , but I could see it overpowering more subtle bagel flavors. This was a great breakfast for my first meal in Indy! read more

Being from New York City--the home of the best bagels in the world--I have high standards, but Sidedoor Bagels does it right! Their bagels are so good that they've made me stop missing NYC bagels. The spicy everything bagel is truly EVERYTHING. It has the perfect crunch on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. We also enjoyed the drinks, and we love that they offer a vegan cream cheese alternative! We're so happy we finally stopped in, and we'll be back time and time again. If you're a bagel lover, this place is a must-visit! read more

Be prepared to wait because the line does usually go out the door - but I promise it's worth it! I really have nothing more to say other than we got the Beccy sandwich with the jalapeño chedder bagel and the plain cream cheese. Chefs kiss. I loved it! They have some outdoor seating but it's limited. But on nice days, it's perfect to just stroll the neighborhood as you're eating. read more

Almost every Saturday, I wake up craving a Sidedoor bagel. I have not had a bagel here that I didn't love, and I've had a lot of bagels from here. Unless you go early or later on the weekend, ordering online is the move. Make sure to set your pickup time ahead of time, because they get so many orders on the weekends. Get any bagel on the menu, and you won't regret it! read more

Sidedoor is always packed and the perfect slow Sunday treat. The line has been pretty long every time I go but it never takes too long and is obviously worth the wait. Also, once you order, food comes out quite fast. The inside is fun and lively. They do usually sell out of bagels throughout the day, so if you want a specific flavor, go earlier in the morning. The BECCY is always 10/10 but decided to get the sausage, egg and schmear today on a spicy everything bagel. It wasn't very spicy at all l honestly, it was perfect. Sadly though, they forgot to cut it in half so I had to at home and it was slipping all over the place it was incredibly hard to eat. Honestly that was my only con today and it was a tiny mistake. The latte was delicious and only $6 for a 20oz. The employees are very friendly and help if you have any questions. Parking in the area is free and they have a few picnic tables outside to eat if it's nice out. read more

I've been to Sidedoor probably...20 times at this point, and it has never missed. I've had pretty much everything on the menu at this point, and I recommend them all. Friday I got the The Maple Drip on a Sweet and Salty bagel. It was phenomenal. Recommend trying the Spicy Lox and Loaded, or the Beccy, or the Maple, or anything. They will often do collabs with other restaurants, highly recommend making a trip when they are doing those! Place gets real busy on the weekend. Recommend placing a pick up order the day before if at all possible. read more

while the bagels were delicious, the cashier was not the most customer friendly. when ordering she not only got the order wrong, even after we told her. I ordered a beccy on an everything bagel and got a veggie bagel. Totally wrong and disappointed with her attitude. read more

This is my second time at side door. The first time I got the All American which is only available on Tuesdays. It was one of the best bagel sandwiches I had and even though I ordered when I arrived rather than ordering online, I didn't wait long for my order to be ready. I also tried one of their matcha lattes my first time and it was delicious as well. A perfect balance of sweetness in my opinion. This go round, I got the Beccy on a spicy everything bagel and I added cheese, jalapeño schmear, and hot honey. I also got 2 bags of kettle chips (jalapeño and barbecue) and a chocolate chip cookie. My sandwich was really good, the chips were also good with and without the sandwich. The cookie was one of the best I've had in a while. This time I ordered online and only had to wait about 13 minutes or so before my order was ready. Both times I spent around $20 for the things I got. Overall, I love this place and can't wait to try more on my next visit! read more

Waited in a long line for 30 minutes, by the time we got to the door to continue to wait, we had it open for maybe 2 minutes and the awful women worker at the pickup counter said "can we not hold the door open". So rude. How do you address customers like this. We left. Never giving them service. Will take our business elsewhere. read more

If you can fly to NYC for a lox bagel, stop by Sidedoor to satisfy your craving!! Was in town for a conference and this bagel shop was HIGHLY recommended (via instagram). So happy I took an Uber to check it out!! The shop is so cute! Lots of natural light & plants! While they don't have any available seating inside, they do have 3 picnic tables outside!! Thankfully the weather was perfect and the sun was shining!! As mentioned I got the lox & loaded on a spicy everything bagel with a mocha latte with oat milk! The perfect combo to start my day!! Staff is very nice and friendly! Shop was clean and smelled delicious!! read more

Popped in here this morning. This was the second time I'd been in, and just as impressed as the first. Service was quick. The place was clean and updated. I had the turkey run sandwich. The garlic schmear lived up to its garlicyness, and the bagel was tasty. The turkey on it was smoked and a had nice touch to it. Looking forward to returning and trying out some of the other options they have. read more

Update! Sidedoor bagel is almost routine now. The flavor switchup every week brings me back, and the quality of our favorites is always delivered. We cannot get enough! Making many memories on their benches each weekend eating a big ole bagel! Friendly staff and relatively quick service. read more

I happened to drive by Sidedoor after an event at the CCIC. It always gets great reviews so I figured I better turn around and give it a try. Just my luck that I make it at closing time. (1:30) Staff were awesome about serving me anyway. To make it quick and easy I just went with a mix of bagels. The bagels are sourdough based and good sized. Each a meal in itself. Went with Poppy seed, Everything, Rosemary, Cheddar and a Cinnamon. The Cheddar got finished on the way home and was very tasty. The seeded and salted have so much of each on them they'd make a mess in your car. But worth it anyway. They have plenty of sandwiches and schmear options plus all your coffee and cold drink needs. Try the orange vanilla craft soda. Next time I will plan to get there earlier to try more bagels! read more

Horrible, Horrible, HORRIBLE!!!! I do not recommend!!! Staff is so rude, disrespectful, not helpful, and should not be employed there!! Our cashier was told 4 times by me that I would pay for something separately. He charged my brother for it, refused to answer any questions about the drinks (this was my first and last time coming!!). I ordered a "local" soda, waited 10 minutes only to be told by another annoyed employee you get it from the fridge. The naughty becky tasted good, however, their horrible customer service, their lack of air conditioning and the never ending flies landing all over the open food was disgusting and enough for me to never come back. Worst place with horrible employees. read more

The sandwiches are solid but the bagel wouldn't be able to hold its own without the toppings. I always ask for it toasted and always end up having to re-toast them at home. That being said I'm not sure where I can find better bagels in Indy. read more

I grew up in NY and have been wanting to try Side Door for a very long time. I planned to stop in after working out on a weekday to avoid the line I've seen on weekends. I got the Beccy on one of the bagels of the day (Hashbrown bagel) with bacon scallion cream cheese. It was the handheld-breakfast experience I was hoping for. Tasty, messy and filling. While I found the slightly chewy texture of the bagel perfect, I could taste a hint of sourdough which isn't something I remember in the bagels of my childhood. Buuuuut....I did also picked up a bag of frozen bagels and the bacon scallion cream cheese for later and took a photo of their "bagel of the day" sign and am 99.9% sure I'll be stopping in again. Gotta try the pretzel bagel...and lox and cream cheese. read more

Bagel with lox-good. But I missed the sliced onion that usually accompanies this item. Spicy everything bagel was too spicy for me.

I'm so excited that I finally got to visit the bagel shop that Bon Appetit Magazine named "The Very Best Bagels in the US (Yes, Outside of New York)." How freaking cool is that?! Proud to have Sidedoor in Indy - a city that used to be a bagel desert. If you don't know their story, essentially they partnered up with Amelia's Bakery and started using their space to make bagels that people would pick up from the side door of the bakery. They became insanely popular and got their own place almost two years ago. I stopped in right before close and was thrilled that they still had some bagels in stock. I got a rosemary sea salt bagel and the turkey run sandwich on an everything bagel. Both of the bagels had so many seeds that fell off that we could've made several more bagels with them. It was raining seeds everywhere, so I'd love for there to either be less seeds or have a way to bake them into the bread a bit more. Regardless, I love that these are sourdough bagels and thought they were delicious. The sandwich was pretty good but I'm excited to try the famous BECCY breakfast sandwich next time. My friends also rave about the bacon chive cream cheese and flaky salt bagel, so I can't wait to come back soon to try those too. I know that there's sometimes a line out the door on the weekends so be prepared for that. Since there's not much space inside, I'd recommend pulling the menu up on your phone so you're ready to order as soon as you step inside. There is free street parking, as well as a free, big parking lot about a block away at the CCIC building across the street. They have a few outdoor picnic tables where you can sit, but no seating inside which makes sense since it's always so busy. Cheering you on over here, Sidedoor! read more

Loved the vibe in here. It was packed but worth the wait. I got a delicious BLT on a Rosemary and Salt bagel with an egg added. So delicious and filling! There are lots of fun schmear options but I had to pass on them due to dairy issues. Next time I plan to try the a vegan option and remember to ask for my bagel to be toasted. The wait went fast but since they have the online orders set up so well for easy pick up, I will definitely pre-order next time. read more

Run don't walk! My partner and I stopped by Sidedoor Bagel on a busy Sunday morning. We waited about 30 minutes to order and another 8 minutes to get our bagels. WORTH THE WAIT! We got the Spicy Everything bagel with Bacon Scallion CC, Rosemary Sea Salt bagel with Garlic Herb CC, and an iced Brown Sugar Latte with Oat Milk. These bagels may have been the best I've ever had! They make their everything seasoning and cream cheeses in house. The flavor combinations were perfectly savory and balanced. They give one a decent amount of "schmear" per bagel and getting it toasted is still a light toasting. I highly recommend ordering ahead to avoid the line but either way, don't miss out on everything Sidedoor Bagel has to offer! read more

This is one of the more surprising reviews that I didn't think I'd be writing. Again, this is largely reflective of how it tasted to me. When I drive through Mass Ave and Chatham Arch, I admire the architecture, the revitalized Bottle Works area, and the businesses that are arriving or already here. Sidedoor is in Chatham Arch, which is a pretty splendid name for a neighborhood. It's in a newer multiuse building with street parking available. The facade is clean and modern, and the inside is beautiful. You can see their bags of high quality flour with an adorable sign asking patrons not to sit on them. It could be the scene for a Wes Anderson short film. The bagels are sourdough based, and they're made fresh. The only legit bagel shop in the downtown area. Now, let's talk about the price. I'm closer to Bagel Fair in Nora and Ripple Bagel and Deli. Bagel Fair sells bagels for little more than a dollar. This place sells single bagels for $2.50. Their tubs of cream cheese run between 7-9. To substitute amazeball vegan cream cheese is $1.50. Even though they say this is an option to do so on the menu, you don't find out there's an up charge until you go to pay. I think a dozen bagels is $22. Again, sticker shock. Now for the taste. I ordered the poppy seed bagel, or should I say the cicada surge of poppy seeds. The seeds will fall off and go everywhere. And the bagel sandwich on everything. The bagel had a chewiness to it, but there was something almost bland about the taste. The presentation of the veggie bagel sandwich was very nice, instagrammable. The service was great, and the order and pick up sides are separated for better customer flow. Overall, I would give this 3.6/5.0 or 7/10. For the hype and plaudits, the taste profile wasn't something I expected or particularly liked. I'll stick to Bagel Fair. They should fix the board to reflect the upcharge for vegan cream cheese pricing. Otherwise, this is a good business to have for Indy. read more

I've seen it. I've heard about it. But I've never experienced Side Door Bagel until today and wow, shame on me that it took this long! Such a cute shop, lovely staff, even better bagels and schemer! We couldn't resist the cheesy hashbrown bagel with garlic and herb schemer and the holiday berry bagel with chestnut praline schemer. They want to expand their shop and have a gift card program going on now to help raise funds. 35% off all gift cards! Pretty great deal if you frequent SDB often! read more

I've wanted to try this place for over a year, and today was the day! Yay! It is in the corner of the street so keep that in mind if driving there, but there is street parking outside if you are lucky enough to get a close spot. The shop is small and they ask for only a few people to go in at a time, but there are two picnic benches outside for waiting if it is a nice day. The menu is above the counter and as you walk in you can place an order, grab a smear from the frog and even get creamer for your coffee (if you order that). Since this was our first experience I loved that on the counter they had an example with a clear sign of all of their available bagels. Brilliant! You can order bagels, sandwiches and also pick your preferred bagel for your sandwich. Lots of options and even a vegan spread for those needing it. I love that as normally I would go for it and do love their option - local Amazeball spread. Yummy! We ordered six bagels to go, and veggie sandwiches. It was a bit chilly so took things home but would have loved to sit on the benches to eat. Next time maybe. When we got home I tore into my bagel and it was so chewy, firm, delicious and had just the right amount of texture. The smear was perfect and not skimpy! The veggies made it seem like a small salad, which was a light way to have a breakfast treat. So so good. If I lived within walking distance I'd be in trouble for sure! Highly recommend this spot if you haven't tried it, and we will be back for more options and other sandwiches. Plus now we have bagels and smear for at least a few days until we can go again! read more
