I crave eating bagels once and a while, and I am so glad The Bagel Cafe is in my neighborhood! The ambiance is reminiscent of a NY small bagel shop with clean, family style, deli/diner feel melded with warm southern hospitality. This is my second visit and I ordered a Bagel melt on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and a NY earl grey latte. Kelly, who helped me, was so kind and attentive when I asked for suggestions. She wanted to make sure I got my drink right by suggesting a slightly different combination than what I originally ordered and she actually adjusted it a couple times. I was pleasantly surprised and she was spot on! The bagel melt was a lovely blend of favors and a breakfast treat. It hit my morning bagel craving. Would recommend to anyone who loves bagels or wants to explore a yummy breakfast spot! read more

The Bagel Café - Bagel Melt on a Jalapeño Cheddar bagel And a NY Earl Grey latte - Bagels Near Me - Katy, Texas

I called in a to-go order at 12:34 pm. I asked for a bagel w/cream cheese and a large Pecan coffee. I was told they were out of pecan coffee and wouldn't be making more. I brought it to their attention that they were still open until 2:00 pm. No dice. I preceded to go pick up my bagel and when I arrived I asked for the Katy Commuter and I was just going to get their regular coffee. I was then told that I cannot order that because the loan bagel order was already called in & entered in the system. This is sub par, all of it. I ended up just paying for the bagel and going elsewhere for coffee. How stupid can a business be. read more

Just happened to be in the area for an eye exam and really REALLY was craving a bagel. Service was great, she took time to answer all my questions. We ended up getting bagels and samiches and they were delicious! Pickles on the side were perfect (have to have pickles if you get a samich). Wasn't a fan of the bagel chips but I do love that they are not letting bagels go to waste. read more

The Bagel Café - W bagel with cream cheese! - Bagels Near Me - Katy, Texas

Although I still enjoy this mom and pop bagel cafe, their bagels haven't been as fluffy. Nevertheless, I love the atmosphere. It's very chilled. My favorite is their sunrise bagel with whatever bagel I'm in the mood for. All their selections are on the side. My least favorite is the one with salsa (cannot remember the name) but it's always so watery that I rather just get either blueberry or cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese. read more

Finally a real bagel deli! Bagels are perfect! Light crisp in outside and hearty flavor. Absolutely the perfect bagel. The have poppyseed and salt flavors for you Nee Yorkers. Also many other flavors, my fav being the everything bagel. Had the Reuben on a poppyseed bagel sandwich, fresh meats, healthy portion with some bagel chips and cream cheese side with pickles. It was so good I had to heat half before taking the photo. If you're not used to a bagel deli, go try a sandwich. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm just going to have to visit NYC to get a uber delicious cinnamon raisin bagel with creamy schmear. Houston has a lot of establishments that sell bagels but most are not delicious, just acceptable. The bagel cafe has great reviews and their bagels look good for sure, but I'm not pleased with my cinnamon raisin bagel I received. The bagel was a bit flat where it should be fluffy. There wasn't enough raisins or cinnamon in them. They didn't have that slight sweetness to them. They tasted as if they were made from the dough of a savory bagel and just had raisins and cinnamon thrown into it, just not enough. The plain cream cheese I ordered was nice. I continue my search for a perfect cinnamon raisin bagel in Houston. read more

Wow. I was blown away with how good their bagels, cream cheeses and service was! This little bagel place is perfect especially given it's out in Katy. If I didn't know otherwise I would think I'm in a bagel place in New Jersey. Highly recommend! Worth jumping off 1-10 in Katy if you are passing through. Say hi to Joe who I'm quite owns the place. So local and authentic. read more

Oh em gee. This was so delish. The Lox sandwich which contains cream cheese, capers, smoked salmon and tomato was absolutely devine. They're not skimpy! The bagel was toasted just right, not like the other places where it's so toasted, it cuts your mouth. Yes it's a little pricey but you are paying for what you get! Me and my mom halved it and we are beyond satisfied. Although it was a carry out order, the ambience of the cafe is so warming and welcoming, I love to see the community together! With outside and inside seating you can get the best of both worlds. Go give it a try! :) read more

I've seen this place before but had never stopped. This place was popping this morning. An amazing spread of bagels and cream cheese. They have breakfast sandwiches. They also have lunch menu that looked tasty. It was so good. I can't believe I've never been. We had the Sunrise bagel sandwich with bacon. Mine on an onion bagel and his on an everything bagel. Had a mango berry breeze. It was so good and refreshing. They had a few tables outside. And quite a bit of seating inside. read more

These bagels are so good! I've been looking for a good bagel place for the last 2 years and I finally found it. I would highly recommend the everything bagel with veggie cream cheese, I get it every time. I'm obsessed that I go 1-2 times a week. read more

I am a native Houstonian, I live in Katy. I love, absolutely love bagels! I have a few locations around town that provide an authentic bagel. Didn't feel like driving to my regular spots which are not close to where I live now. So to Google I went in search of the real deal. I found Bagel Cafe! Went for bagels and purchased lunch too! This is the spot! You know a bagel is good when you can eat it plain. These are good! Looks like a Mom and Pop shop. Staff was really nice. My order came out really quick. I ate it in my truck. The bagel chips are a nice addition. I shall return on several occasions as in tomorrow for breakfast. Bacon, egg and cheese, please. read more

Absolutely love this place!!! Bring me right back home to New Jersey as soon as I open the door! Service is awesome Food.. incredible Thank you!!! read more

I LOVED this place. Feels very mom and pop and I like supporting local businesses. Weekdays is pretty chill after morning rush, weekends is busy. People are in with their families and the place is bustling, but that's what I think a breakfast place should be like. I've tried the chocolate chip bagel (10/10) and the jalapeño bagel (10/10). Can't wait for the next one! read more

Located in the Katy strip mall on Mason and Kingsland. The place is cafe style crowded on the weekend with family and kid that are leaving taekwondo. Great service, everyone in there is nice. The bagels are fresh and they go quick, what I love about the place if you like a certain kind you can call. The smoothies are fresh. This is a good spot for fresh bagels and cream cheese. read more

Fantastic fresh bagels with an almost unlimited variety as well as a wide cream cheese spreads. Service was great and owner took great care of our order.

Call me nostalgic and call me for breakfast because this spot in Katy Texas will transport you to New York City! I remembered talking to the owner last year and he told me the rainbow cookies are shipped straight from New York City and he is also a transplant here in Texas. The bagels are chewy, moist and flavorful and the cream cheese is, perfectly salty, creamy and smooth. The fresh squeeze orange juice is always right on and hits the spot. I recommend checking the chalkboard next to the register for the daily special and if you're so inclined, they offer smoothies here as well. They feature cats, drip coffee, and have Coffee creamer and fountain sodas to drink. The bathroom is spacious and always clean and I recommend hitting up the spot if you're in the area for breakfast anytime! Five stars and I have been returning for years. read more

The bagels are fresh. The service was good. Very casual spot. Limited meat options for breakfast sandwich if you don't eat pork.

One word...YUM! This place was recommended to me by many Katy residents, so I knew I had to try. It definitely lived up to the hype. I'm very basic when it comes to bagels so I got the blueberry bagel with plain cream cheese and it was DELICIOUS. I placed the order through DoorDash and was able to pick it up. It was ready when I arrived. My friend ordered the sunrise sandwich with egg, bacon, and cheese and it looked amazing. I will definitely be trying that sandwich next time I visit! read more

Fresh bagels that have a nice crunch but are still soft on the inside. The workers are hospitable and their selection is great. Can't wait to come back for lunch. read more

I want to give 4-stars because over the years, I've popped in and picked up asst. bagels and cream cheese To Go. They have a terrific variety of really tasty, bagels, and some hard-to-find cream cheese flavors. They also position their business as a counter service bagel and sandwich cafe. That's where things took a surprising turn. No one from the staff wiped a table down in the 45 minutes I was there. Patrons were cleaning. 10AM on a Saturday and the cafe is busy. The ordering line is manageable, but gets much longer and wraps around into their overflow dine-in seating by the time I leave. Locals pop-in for to go orders, and many parents eat in, waiting for their kids at the neighboring martial arts studio. I decided to dine in, and ordered an Iced Latte w/ half&half and the Sunrise $6.49 (your choice of bagel, with egg, cheddar cheese, and choice of bacon - sausage- ham). "Yes, I'd like it toasted." The wait was a little longer than normal, but I chalk that up to a busy Saturday morning. I was super disappointed in the bagel sandwich! The bagel wasn't toasted. The egg-cheese-bacon were heated unevenly. One bite was cold egg, the next bite was somewhat heated. I felt like the sandwiches was microwaved, and definitely not a toasted bagel with hot toppings. The strength of the coffee in the iced latte was super weak. I ended up adding more coffee from the self service station to strengthen the taste. I did order a couple of bagels to go. And in the future, probably will just prepare them at home. read more

Everything is always so perfect and exceeds expectation! Bagel heats up well, when people can buy bagels that taste like theirs in bulk, why would you even bother buying bagels from grocery stores? Place is always clean, service is always great! read more

Tried this place for the first time today and was very impressed. Extreme friendly staff and great food. Will definitely be coming back.

Place is packed and call ins are not helpful. I sat outside and seen the crowd so I called to place my small order. Was on hold for over 10 mins then was told my order would be ready in 10 mins. After waiting I walked in, paid and was told my order is still not ready. I've seen multiple people here after me come and go. Seems unfair to my time. Bagel was cold if toasted it wasn't fresh and the egg not seasoned at all. This is at 9 o clock on Saturday morning. Not happy. Paid $7 one bagel, cream cheese, and an egg. Waste of time read more

This place reminds me of New York in all the best ways. Very straightforward, no frills. Free WiFi. Tables and chairs to sit and dine in (with 2 separate dining room areas to choose from), plus of course the ability to take your food to go. There are about 2 dozen types of bagels to choose from. The breakfast sandwiches are wonderful, though mine could've used a little more salt. Friendly staff. Clearly a local favorite; this is the type of place you're bound to run into one of your neighbors or other friends (which we did). read more

My family and I have coming here since I was a kid and they truly have the best bagels in town/the whole Houston area (by a long shot). My father is a Jewish New Yorker so he knows a quality bagel when he sees one and agrees they are the best. There are not very many good bagels in Texas but The Bagel Cafe has the closest bagels to perfection as you can get! We love supporting local, family-run businesses and wish I lived closer and could visit The Bagel Cafe every day! read more

Best bagels in Houston! They are always so fresh and their cream cheeses are delicious.

- Food: Delicious. 5 Stars - Service: Friendly and warm. Was unable to find any plasticware. Considering that the line was too long with everyone busy to bother to ask, it would be good to have plasticware available in same area with the straws, napkins, and other condiments. 4.5 Stars - Atmosphere: Busy (which is a good sign), and relatively clean.

My favorite spot for bagels in Katy! I would highly recommend the signature lox sandwich, which is "smoked salmon with whipped cream cheese, tomato, red onion, & capers on a toasted onion bagel." This is the only bagel place I've been to in the Houston area so far that can compare to the ones in NYC. They have consistently great quality. Each bagel sandwich also comes with a side of bagel chips which are crispy bagel pieces that go perfectly with the meal. I already can't wait to go back! read more

Went in with my wife the other day after her hour at physical therapy. They have a huge menu, not just bagels. But we had bagels and coffee. I like to go exotic so I had one with cheddar cheese and jalapeños. So good, but not too spicy. She had a plain bagel - can't go wrong with an old classic - maybe I'm like the plain bagel- hmmmm. Anyway, we topped them off with some lite cream cheese and coffee and she was happy. So I was happy. And full. Good place. read more
