This is a world class bagel shop and the hype is real. I came here last week, early morning, and had a nice time. I ordered two bagels: A plain bagel with plain schmear and a Super Nova Lox bagel sandwich which was a Sesame bagel with their award-winning basil schmear. First off, the Super Nova Lox sandwich was phenomenal! The basil spread complimented perfectly with their freshly sliced salmon. The bagels are toasted or baked to perfection! I've never had my bagels toasted this way; it's as if they were putting them inside a brick oven. It's amazing. So far, this is my favorite bagel shop up to date. I need to mention, Starship Bagel won BEST BAGEL of 2023 and 2025 in NY as well as a nomination for outstanding baking in 2025 for the James Beard Award! They also appeared in the Food Network! read more

Stopped by here for a little snack before venturing out to sight see. Shared the Supernova Lox with my boyfriend. We got the everything bagel and the basil schmear. I had to get an iced coffee to wash it down. They are just a little walk up window but don't fret there are a few clusters of chairs sprinkled out front so you can stop and chomp, unless you are getting it to go. The sandwich was good. Bagel was cold though, thought perhaps it might have been toasted but that's alright. I will admit for about $15 I thought it might have a bit more filling to it. We chose the Basil Schmear because it was previously the schmear of the year, but I didn't think it was extra special. It was a bit messy so I am glad we found a spot to throw a munch. I would certainly recommend them for a quick bite. read more

TL;DR: convenient location, yummy bagels, but service was a little slow I was at a hotel close by, so it was really convenient getting a bagel before heading out for my flight. I also stopped by to get a dozen bagels with schmear for people at work one morning. It's a take out only spot, and there are no seats, so while you can look at the giant eyeball next to the store, you'll have to find somewhere to consume your bagel. The line moves fairly quickly, and when I got the dozen, getting the bagels and getting into an Uber took a matter of minutes. I didn't manage to try any of the selection I got sadly. So when I went back again to get myself a bagel, I decided on the flavors that intrigued me most - the zaatar bagel with basil cream cheese. They have apparently won some award for the cream cheese! This time, my order took a good long while to come out. I understand there were a few customers ahead of me, and I did ask for the bagel to be toasted but it took almost 20 minutes which is a little much. My bagel was warm but not very toasted which was fine, but not what I expected. Taste wise, the bagel was delicious!! They used a very generous amount of zaatar which brought a delicious herbaceous note to the bagel. It wasn't very dense, was quite chewy, and was a good breakfast. I loved the basil cream cheese too, it had a very bright herby taste, really tasted like fresh basil, and made it feel less rich. They were very generous with the cream cheese - I was licking it off the packaging after too. read more

Very good bagels with the right texture. A good value anywhere, especially downtown. Bagel and any spread is $5. The only problem I have is they don't have a pumpernickel bagel (or any bagel besides "white"). Know that there is no inside- seating is outside and there is no parking lot. The service is helpful and quick. And it's nice sitting outside. read more

I tried coming here once before and the line was too long and we ended up leaving, but I got lucky this time and walked straight up to the cashier. Everyone was awesome and helpful when it came to ordering some food. I ordered the millennial falcon based on their recommendations and loved it. It was light and fresh, easily shared with someone. I reccommend this cute little stop if you're on the move or enjoying the city of Dallas and want a light breakfast. Not to mention, I love the theme here. It is why I came back. read more

Um, am I missing something? Maybe it's just me, but I'm not understanding all of the hype around this place. On the plus side, they get major props for having my beloved poppy seed bagels which are hard to come by in our area for some reason. Texture-wise, the bagels are decent. I personally prefer a bit more "chew" but overall, they are pretty good. Now for what did not work for me- the much lauded veggie schmear was heavy on the carrot and dill. Like, unpleasantly heavy. I ended up scraping most of it off and just ate the bagel dry. And I'm not certain that the schmear was actually cream cheese. It tasted more like creme fraiche or something. Also, the service was lacking. Dude handed me my bagel without looking up or saying thank you. It's a small thing but it matters! I'm good on Starship. No need for a repeat visit. read more

We took the DART to Akard Station and walked a block downtown to find this hole in the wall. The actual footprint of the kitchen is about 25 feet and operates through two open windows. Outside has a few outdoor seats but has plenty of character with colorful shading and the patio overlooks the eyeball. Having bagels in grad school in Nashville and toasting Lenders Bagels from the grocery most of my life, I never understood what a great bagel should taste like. I tried Shug's bagel but the price point, long lines and crowed interior made me give up on bagels from Dallas until today. The person at the window recommended the Millennial Falcon, an open faced, Sesame Bagel with a Basil Schmear, pickled onions and chili flakes. It was wonderful and the chili flakes gave it a nice extra flavor. My girlfriend chose the Supernova Lox, which was also good but lacked the heat which I love. Doesn't matter. These guys know what they are doing and now I understand the fuss about real bagels. The experience also gives me another data point that supports my theory about great restaurants operating only out of a window. Any restaurant in business for more than a year that only operates out of a window , must have awesomely delicious food. They must because they are only competing on taste and potentially price, while bad weather acts as a natural deterrent. Any Dallas restaurant serving bagels, should take lessons from these guys. Now all they need to do is open a place in West Village in Uptown and they would make money faster than printing it. Don't believe me? Drop by and you'll see. read more

Ordered the 30 Bagel + 6 Schmear box for the office and these were a total hit! My coworkers were excited to try these and provided rave reviews. The price was pretty fair in my opinion. I do want to mention though that even though the preordering website advertises "skipping the line," I still had to wait in line with everyone else even though I had scheduled a preorder pickup. Just a heads up to plan accordingly. read more

We came right before close- which meant the bagels were already picked over. I wound up getting the salt bagel. Not my first choice but WOW! I'm so glad I did! It was so delicious, sprinkled with crisp Maldon salt and nice and crusty. Absolutely delicious. I saw a girl with just a buttered bagel and thought she was crazy since there is so many topping choices, but once I tasted the bagel I realized they really don't even need anything else. Next time, I'm def trying her way too. Service was easy and nice even though it was almost closing time. Sitting in the sun eating your bagel is a great way to spend your time in Dallas. If you're in the area, stop by 100% read more

A Pretty Good Bagel Shop, But Not Quite Worth the Hype... After hearing so many people rave about Starship Bagel, namely my husband, we decided to finally give it a try -- and we really went out of our way to do it. We drove about 40 minutes to get there, and once we arrived, we had to park pretty far away because there was basically no parking anywhere close. By the time we made the long walk and finally got in line, we were definitely hoping the experience would match all the hype. The bagels were fresh with a nice chew, and the flavors were decent. Everything we tried was perfectly fine, just not the standout, "you have to go here" level we kept hearing about. We didn't get any of their sandwiches, just bagels and smear. Garlic, salt and everything. None were anything to write home about. What really threw the experience off, though, was when another customer grabbed my order off the counter thinking it was theirs, thumbed through my food, and then just set it back down. When I pointed it out, the worker didn't seem to care at all -- no apology, no remake, nothing. It definitely took away from the overall visit. In the end, it was an okay spot with some good qualities, but between the long drive, the parking situation, and that awkward moment with my order, it just didn't feel worth the hype. Probably fine if you're already in the area, but not something I'd go out of my way for again. read more

I can not say enough about Starship Bagels and the team they have working for them. I'm a New Yorker and bagels are life for me. Hands down these are the best bagels you will find. They are simply amazing. Flavorful, fresh and the schmears are full of flavor. Everything you try, you will love and wish you had gotten more. People who began as strangers, welcomed me as I am. To talk to them and showed compassion and a grace that unless you experience it, you will never be able to comprehend. Week after week, their eyes light up when they see a familiar face and they remember things about you that most people forget or don't honestly care about. They not only become friends, but family. It's truly remarkable that for someone who feels invisible in this world, to be truly seen and accepted for who they are, and not who someone wants me to be. I would say run, don't walk. Get there early and try their award winning bagels. My dad asks me to bring these bagels home in my suitcase when I travel back to upstate NY. read more

Didn't realize this local bagel shop had won multiple awards and was even featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives -- definitely a fun find! Service was friendly and semi-quick, and the spot is conveniently located just down the street from where we stayed. It's more of a grab-and-go place, but there are a few outdoor tables if you want to sit and eat. The alleyway has a nice vibe with fun decor, and the gigantic eyeball sculpture across the way makes for a cool landmark. We tried the Supernova Lox & Bagel -- the toppings were fresh and flavorful, but the bagel itself was surprisingly hard. Coffee was solid for a basic drip -- not bold, but good enough for a morning pick-me-up. read more

The line wasn't too bad and there was an aerobics yoga class happening at the big eye ball so that was some entertainment. We got one bagel with lox and another just flavored cream cheese. The bagels were chewy and everything tasted nice and balanced. I'm not a bagel expert so I can't say if anything jumped out to me as being way better than other places. read more

Must visit if you are a bagel lover. The quality of the ingredients and freshness really stand out. You will not regret ordering a Supernova Lox because it is amazing. The bagel is chewy, the smoked salmon was fresh, and all the toppings came together perfectly. Every bite was well-balanced and packed with flavor. Unfortunately, I was too hungry to let my phone eat first, so I completely forgot to take pictures before digging in. That is probably the best compliment I can give; it was too good to wait. read more

So I have not been to the actual location for starship bagels, but I have had starship bagels at Ascension coffee. Apparently starship partners with local cafés and coffee shops, and the cafes and coffee shops are able to sell these great bagels. So while I have been here in the Dallas area, I have tried several different brands of local bagels and so far starship is the best. I can't believe I'm craving them. They have that great chew that tastes fantastic all by itself. You don't even need to put anything on these bagels, so this alone has made me want to go and hunt down the closest starship bagel place and go in and experience it. I have had three starship bagels since I've been here all different varieties and they always hit all the right notes the beautiful outside finish and the chewiey inside just as a bagel should be. read more

We came here on a weekend morning and there was a steady line of customers. They do the orders in the order they are made, and so even if you have a simple bagel, your order might take longer behind someone ordering 10 sandwiches, which is what happened to me. I ordered the everything bagel with chive cream cheese and it had so much flavor. The bagel had so many spices on it and it was the perfect everything bagel. It was soft on the inside and somewhat crunchy on the outside. I asked how the olive cream cheese was and she let me Sample it, which was pretty good overall as well - tasted like olives mixed in with cream cheese. My partner from New York said it was pretty good for a bagel in Texas. Overall this place is solid and there are about 4-5 small tables in front of the stand (there is no indoor seating). Would recommend this place, which seems to be a small chain around at least the Dallas, Texas area. read more

Truly the best bagels I've ever had--definitely lives up to the hype! The best combo was pretzel bagel with honey almond cream cheese. The basil cream was a close second, so so savory and flavorful! The pickled jalapeño cream cheese was also good, but didn't taste too pickled. I would recommend taking the dart or walking to this location since parking is difficult. There is also only outdoor seating, but the area is very nice! read more

Average bagel. Don't know what all the hype is about. The actual bagel was fine, online ordering a lot of items were sold out but when you got there it seemed they had them. Got the Supernova - barely any lox in it - I could hardly even see it, looked like all tomato. Did the Millennium Falcon as well, the sprouts smelled foisty. Not fussed about coming back. Nice storefront. Difficult street parking downtown. read more

I'll be dreaming about these bagels until my next time in Dallas. I was strolling around the area and came across Starship Bagel, located by the big eyeball in Dallas, you can't miss it. I kept noticing how it got so much traction from people on their breaks/also strolling the area, and I decided to give their egg bagels a try. And let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by how delicious my toasted bagel was. I order the egg bagel with scallions cream cheese and it was perfect. I was delighted by every bite, so much so, that my coworker and I ran back before they closed so she could order the same thing. I'm not from the Dallas area, so I ordered 10 bagels to go and the owner graciously threw in more bagels for me to try and share with my coworker. Thank you so much to the Starship bagel team. Excellent customer service! I can't wait to come back to Dallas just to be reunited with these bagels. Perfectly toasted, they had a nice bite, delicious flavor that reminded of the bagels I used to buy as a kid in Brooklyn. Starship is also located in a perfect area where you can sit and bask in the perfect atmosphere. Can't wait to come back and try their eggything bagels. read more

Pro-tip: Starship is accessible by many downtown hotels. Plan time for a morning run or stroll, on your way to fuel up with a loaded bagel. Service: quick, friendly, and easy Ambiance: right in the park of the Giant Eyeball Food: The super nova lox was great! Stacked with lox, cucumbers, red onion, capers, tomatoes, and of course the schmear (cream cheese). Toasting adds an extra texture to the mix! read more

I've been to New York and I've had their bagels and it's one of the perks about living in New York to have great bagels, even from a gas stations. Haven't said that, I tried to find the best bagel, and it's not that easy. Tried a highly rated place. And it was good, maybe very good. But it was being held back, somehow by the culinary editing. The best bagel I ever ate in my life, came from a little hole in the wall in front of the legendary pizzeria Di Fara's in Brooklin. It was called Bagel Hole. And it was a Jewish orthodox establishment. Small plain bagel. Kind of sad looking. Plain cream cheese Religious experience. You never know when something's gonna surprise you. About Starship Bagels. They won a blind test at Bagel Fest against New York bagels. That's a great accomplishment. These guys have different locations. I don't know if that affects anything. The bagels look great. The toppings on top of the Everything bagel were the best I've ever had. And their signature bagel, the millennial falcon is an awesome creation. Their fermented jalapeño cream cheese is probably the go to. But with bagels, and this is important, different schmears go best with different bagels. And it's a personal trial and error thing. Although there are established classics. Starship bagels has all the ingredients to be great. I liked their lox bagel better than the one in New York. That's high praise. And the millennial falcon is a beauty. But I don't know if it is because we got them toasted. I'll try them untoasted next time. But the bagels were a bit too chewy kinda like when you put something in the microwave for too long. Still the best bagels I've had in Texas! Worth the trip read more

The location can be a tad bit confusing as it's not directly off of a main street. It's located near the Woolworth and tucked in the adorable cobblestone road. The bagels and spreads were delicious, and the service was fast which we appreciated compared to other bagel shops with longer wait times! They did have a decent amount of sold out bagels on a Saturday morning by 10am, so be sure to order early as it's clearly a hot commodity for a multitude of great reasons. read more

This place isn't worth the hassle, unless you're downtown and can walk to it. I've ate bagels across the country and this place didn't live up to the hype.

Didn't care for the Millennium Falcon either, veg didn't seem very fresh. Won't be coming back. read more

This Dallas-based bagel shop truly earned its recent "Best Bagels" win, beating out even some of the most well-known spots in New York. The line is long, but don't let that scare you away -- it moves quickly and the wait is worth it. My toasted bagel was perfectly done, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They also have a great happy hour, which is a fun bonus in the middle of downtown. Guy Fieri tried Starship bagel before, and I ordered the same thing he tried -- and it absolutely did not disappoint. The shop sits in the heart of downtown Dallas, so parking can be a bit challenging, but the location is unbeatable. It's right next to the iconic Dallas Eyeball Sculpture and steps away from major shopping destinations like Forty Five Ten, the original Neiman Marcus, and Traffic LA. A must-visit for any bagel lover in the city. read more

Starship Bagel is a downtown Dallas time machine served in a compostable box. Listen, I walked into Starship Bagel expecting another hipster fever dream, another place where they put avocado on everything and call it innovation. But sometimes the universe surprises you with something real, something that cuts through the bullshit and delivers straight to your soul. The garlic bagel arrives like a heavyweight champion entering the ring. Dense, chewy, with that perfect crust that gives way to a tender interior. This isn't some artisanal pretender; this is the real deal, the kind of bagel that would make my grandmother weep tears of joy if she were still around to taste it. And then there's the lox. Christ. That silky, salty embrace of the sea, draped across cream cheese spread with the kind of reverence reserved for religious ceremonies. One bite and I'm transported back to those Sunday mornings in college, sitting across from my Jewish ex girlfriend in her tiny kitchen, learning the sacred ritual of bagel construction from a girl who took this stuff seriously. Her people had perfected this dance centuries before I was even a thought. I thought I was done with lox after we broke up. Thought it would always taste like heartbreak and missed opportunities. But Starship Bagel brought me back to that first revelation, that moment when everything clicked and I understood why an entire culture built Sunday mornings around this perfect combination. The cream cheese isn't some afterthought slapped on by a hungover college kid. It's applied with intention, with respect for the craft. Generous but not reckless. They understand the architecture here, the delicate balance between base and topping that makes or breaks the whole experience. Sure, Starship might have a trendy name and a Instagram worthy presentation, but underneath all that, they get it. They respect the fundamentals. In a city where every corner deli thinks they can phone it in, where mediocrity masquerades as authenticity to uncultured white moms of Dallas, these cats are doing it right. This is what happens when reverence meets technique. When someone actually gives a damn about getting it perfect instead of just getting it out the door. The result is nothing short of transcendent, a reminder that some combinations are holy, untouchable, and when done right, can bring you right back to who you were before the world got complicated. Five stars. Go. Eat. Remember what it feels like to be surprised by something beautiful!! read more

Got a plain bagel with a side of almond schmear. The bagel itself was a bit of a letdown. It was extremely tough, making it hard to enjoy. However, the honey almond schmear was a definite highlight! It had big chunks of almond and wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciated. It paired well with the bagel, even if the texture of the bagel itself wasn't my favorite. Overall, I'd be willing to try again. The schmear is definitely worth coming back for though! read more
