Hair in Denver Breakfast Bagel

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience absolutely warranted one. The shop was extremely overcrowded, with a very poor interior layout, customers were packed together shoulder to shoulder waiting for orders, creating an uncomfortable environment from the start. It took over 20 minutes just to receive two bagels. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was even more disappointing than the wait. I ordered the Denver bagel and my husband ordered a standard breakfast bagel, we consider ourselves true bagel enthusiasts, and I can honestly say these were among the most flavorless, plain, and unenjoyable bagels we've ever had. To make matters worse, there was a hair in my Denver bagel, which is completely unacceptable for any food establishment. Nashville has much better options, Ugly Bagel and Jersey Oven remain superior in both flavor and quality. This shop has potential given how busy it was, but the poor execution, lack of attention to cleanliness, and the disappointing food are serious issues and need to be addressed immediately.

Everything bagel, egg and cheese.

First time visitors. Recommended to us by locals. Kailee was very patient with my questions and order. Note that parking is tight. Inside seating is tight too. Plenty of outside seating. Bagel sandwich was tasty. Bathroom was clean.

Star Bagel is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Nashville! It is cost friendly & full of healthy options. The locally owned business has everything you could want - from bagels & cream cheese to fresh focaccia sandwiches to coffee & smoothies! Everything I've tried has been delicious and it's one of my favorite spots to bring visitors & then walk the loop at McCabe golf course when the weather permits. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, which can fill up quick on a weekend! The patio is a great way to enjoy the weather if you can snag a seat

Sometimes it's the parking....and beyond. I've wanted to stop here and smell the roses (well, the aroma of hot dough and coffee) but have been dissuaded by the apparent paucity of parking. (Yes, big words for small spaces.) Today I figuratively bit the bullet and stopped anyhow, having first checked out approaches and parking spaces via Google Earth maps. That worked out fairly well. I got there and aimed for the empty Handicapped Parking space....only to discover as I pulled in that someone had tied their dog to the rail at that spot. (No pets allowed inside.) Fortunately for me there was an open space next to the "parked" and quiet pup. Phew! Atmosphere inside the building was lively....lots of chatter as patrons enjoyed their morning brews and bagels or waited patiently for their orders to be delivered. Judging by the crowd, I thought I might have a bit of a wait....but, in fact, I was promptly and politely asked for my order at the counter. And equally as promptly.... was handed the first part of it consisting of 6 bagels to go. I also was given an empty cup for my coffee. (Serve yourself if it's straight up brew from the array of pump-pots with Regular, Decaf, and flavored options.). The coffee was surpisingly fresh and very hot! And the flavor was a delightful treat - one of the tastiest House Blends I've had in quite a while. My Sante Fe Bagel sandwich was delivered only a few minutes later and I carried it to the car. The steaming sandwich was bigger than I anticipated.... nice since I was pretty hungry. So, I opened the tightly wrapped breakfast bonanza and attempted to take my first bite. [To paraphrase a line from the movie "Jaws"...."I should have brought a bigger mouth"....because, in an instant, the very thick (an inch+ maybe) egg-pepper frittata slid from between the slippery turkey sausage patty and the ooey gooey melted cheese lining for the bagel onto my lap. I must have had a premonition before starting on this misadventure because after sitting down in the car, I placed a large cloth hand towel across my lap and that, in turn, caught the entire avalanche before it hit my clothes or the floor of the car. Disaster more or less averted. Thank goodness I still had half the sandwich left. Taste: Excellent! Fluffy-flavored egg with bits of crunch from the peppers on a lightly toasted bun. Will I return....? In all honesty, unless I can find an alternative to the parking situation....I doubt it. BUT YOU SHOULD .... just aim for the Star. Open wide. And enjoy!

Cold brew with cream!

This place is amazing and the community knows it. Definitely try whatever the special is that day. They were packed and Ivy (the angel at the register) was calm and cool. Great energy! Thank you guys.

Breakfast Bagel
Brooklynn K.

Nice small local spot in the heart of Sylvan Park. Tasty breakfast bagel with egg, cheese, and Turkey sausage. Long line on a Sunday morning and packed house, making it a little disorganized and crowded to get around. Only 3 menus floating around so made it difficult to know what you're getting if you're a first timer. Nice & patient staff as we had to wait till the front to get a menu and choose. Lots of pickup orders coming in and out, definitely a loved spot.

Spicy Mike and Lox Bagel
Suzi ..

Great neighborhood bagel spot in Slyvan Park. We ordered online late in the afternoon and got the Spicy Mike and lox bagel with herb cream cheese to go. The bagels were fresh and soft with the perfect amount of chew. The toppings were also fresh with good portion sizes. We also ordered a muffin but they were out so they threw in several cookies at no added charge. The staff was friendly. We will definitely be back!

I've been coming here for a long time and I've watched it gain popularity over the years to almost an overwhelming degree. There is always a rush but if you time it right you can find parking in the lot out front or usually street parking across the street near the park. No matter how busy they get they always have time for friendly service and a smile at the register. I never feel rushed or like I'm inconveniencing anyone , as one tends to feel at hipster coffee shops. This is more of a beloved Nashville jewel. It still has the old Nashville feel. There is limited seating but there are patio tables outside . Or you can get your food to go and go to the park. I really like the breakfast bagels, and the iced coffee. They have delicious bakery items as well. I never make it to the lunch menu because I'm a breakfast all day kind of person. But I hear it's really good. Overall you can find something pretty healthy , fairly quick, and super delicious while supporting small businesses here in Nashville.

Mocha muffin
Kendall R.

This place stays busy and for good reason. Their food is delicious and affordable. One of my favorites is simply buttered foccacia, but the Starz classic sandwich is also great. And the mocha muffin is superb!! There is limited indoor seating and maybe 4 patio tables. Not a ton of parking, but many costumers take their food to go.

Get there earlier! I went early while my husband slept and I got my food pretty quick but he had to wait FOREVER! This place was so busy! It feels a bit hole in the wall but for what they offer, YUM. Just solid ingredients and the bagels I got a green eggs & ham on a garlic bagel. The garlic bagel was sooooo delicious! Also grabbed a berry smoothie and I love when it's actually fruit in them and not just a mix.

Don't sit outside unless you want your kids exposed to cigar smoke. Very nasty now. Too bad. Won't come here any more.

The service here is fantastic. Warm and friendly, always expressing gratitude, checking in on…read moreguests, and keeping everything clean. There is such a clear sense that everyone who works there wants to make sure every guest has a great experience. The owner, Jamie, in particular is always making sure that everything is just right. The coffee is great, and the food is good too. The interior is so welcoming (just like the staff), with so much natural light and good vibes. There's also outdoor seating that is really nice as well. Overall just a really great experience, with a strong sense of community and a very pleasant location. Every time I stop in, it makes my day better.

We tried the brandy vanilla latte, which was really good -- smooth and flavorful. I also tried their Matchless coffee soda, and it was great and refreshing, something a little different from the usual coffee options. For food, we ordered the Southern Staple sandwich, which was amazing. The biscuits are definitely the highlight -- fresh, soft, and super satisfying. We also tried the Country Grammar dish, and it was good, especially with the sausage gravy. The only downside was that I wish the food had been served a bit hotter. Overall, great coffee, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!
