Stopped here on a quick work day trip to Homer. Cool spot and it was busy on a Thursday morning. The lox and bagel hit the spot and was quite filling. After I ordered I saw their drink specials menu and decided to get the orange cinnamon London fog tea which was deliciously soothing and not too sweet. It looked like there was table seating in the back but didn't get a chance to hang out. Will definitely come back! read more

We tried this place twice when we were visiting Homer from Anchorage. There are a shortage of bagels in Alaska! These are boiled NY style bagels. The first time we went was in the afternoon kind of later and they had about 4 flavors. We just wanted to try so we got the smoked salmon shmear on an onion bagel. The bagel had huge pieces of dried onion all over the top, it was good. The smoked salmon cream cheese spread was very good as well. Had capers in it which were ok. Also got a chocolate chip cookie which was delicious too. Second time we came it was around 8:30 in the morning and they had more flavors, and kept putting them out while we were standing there waiting for our order. So if they dont have the flavor you want it may be coming. This time I got the bacon egg and cheese on a salt bagel. The salt were huge chunks of salt, not finely sprinkled like I excpected. I didn't notice that their bacon is "peppered" it was wayyy way too peppered. I couldn't even eat it. Their menu is kind of scattered and hard to read too. I think I was overcharged the second time we came because I paid $30 for two bagels (11 each) and a chocolate chip cookie. Doesn't add up. I would come for the chocolate chip cookie and the schmears. Not their lunch or breakfast sandwiches :( read more

Okay okay, soooo I've tried bagels from all over the world. Up until this day my favorite spot was this NYC bagel shop called Russ & Daughters. That was until today, this place right here has the very best lox bagel I've ever had. I got the lox bagel on a garlic bagel with the holy trinity schmear and oh man what a delicious combo. 10/10 if you're in the area you NEED to try this!!! I'll definitely be coming again when I'm back in Homer(: I wish I could bring one back home with me lol Also couldn't post a pic because I inhaled it as soon as it touched the table haha read more

One of only two places we liked so much we had to go back on our 4 day trip. So happy to have made it and gotten o check this place out. Staff was amazing all friendly and knowledgeable! The Bagels are amazing here and just what we needed. We got sandwiches because you should! Also make sure to get a cookie or 5. Mainly because you won't want to share and wow are they good!! read more

Spoiler alert (kinda): find Hokusai and read the words for a wholesome surprise and a good chuckle. =] This place is packed, but efficient! It's like everyone understands that a line is part of the experience and they're super kind about it. And since I was standing, I had time to look at the back kitchen area which was spotless and wonderfully organized. And I'm happy to report the bagel shop is every bit as good as it was a year ago. The coffee is amazing and the separate barista means the drinks are done quickly and perfectly! The Cafe Saigon was not only delicious but came in a beautiful piece of pottery. The local art on display was intriguing, unique and displayed with an attention to detail. Easy QR code payment. On display until October. read more

The Bagel Shop - Closest in the picture is the pastrami sandwich with a garlic bagel. The other bagel is a salmon lox. - Bagels Near Me - Homer, Alaska

The Bagel Shop is a MUST visit if you're in Homer. It has been posited that you can't get good New York Style bagels here in Alaska. Sorry, i disagree. The Bagel Shop is an unassuming, deceptively urbane looking storefront, in an industrial area of town, it's certainly not on the main drag of Homer, but that does not affect how busy it gets. Inside the entryway, you'll order your bagel, from the chalkboard with the choices of what's available. There are cold drinks in a chiller, if you desire, or get coffee or tea if that's your preference. The menu is quite extensive, from what looks to be such a tiny eatery, but don't be fooled - tables are around the back. You can get bagels, soups, salads, a variety of drinks. My first few times here, we were always getting bagels for on the road, and i didn't even know you could eat inside. I always got the Everything Bagel with the Holy Trinity Schmear (jalapeño, garlic, anchovy, blended masterfully with cream cheese) and it is superb, i tell you that right now. If you love garlic, you'll love this schmear. Anyway, so last time we were in Homer, we decided to eat inside, and i thought I'd try the "Avocado Toast" and have a nice cuppa tea (I'm British ok, don't roll your eyes at me like that!) So i got an Everything Bagel, with the avocado topping. He ordered the usual I think he got an onion bagel with Holy Trinity schmear. I was presented with such an artistic looking bagel. And i will stand here right now, and claim that 100% they cook THE best fried egg in ALaska, because they don't flip it like an over easy egg, so it's not brown on top. They either do what british people do, and flip hot grease over the top of the he egg, so the whole thing stays white, and the top of the yolk has an opaque white skin, OR they put a cover over the egg, and the steam cooks it. Either way, it cooks a perfect fried egg, because sunny side up - I've had way too many snotty, sunny side up eggs to ever trust ordering one. Ad i get an over easy egg, because i just can't get an English-style fried egg here in ALaska, except for now. THIS IS THE PERFECT FRIED EGG RIGHT HERE. The yolk is a perfectly runny sauce to drape unctuously over your bagel, the avocados are bright green and fresh. There's a seasoning on top of this egg that elevates it to magical heights. It's got sesame seeds in, and something green. No idea but let me take some home please? Micro greens on top and it's just delightful. And 2 days ago, it wasn't on the menu, my heart sank! So i asked her. She said oh sure, i can make that for you! Would you like bacon? Would i like bacon? Indeed i would like more deliciousness added onto an already stupendous meal. And it was AMAZING. It's now my go to, as I'm a creature of habit, as much as it's possible to have a go-to, in a place you only go to, once or twice a year. Superb. The best! And ALWAYS service with multiple smiles. As someone said to me about the Bagel Shop, "if you live in Anchorage, The Bagel Shop is well worth a *turn and burn*" and i wholeheartedly agree. read more

Heavy on the lox, which is great. Quick and kind service. 3/5 stars because the bagel was pretty doughy and not toasted enough .. but better than expected for being so far up north and away from the great bagels of the east coast.. read more

Don't be intimidated by the full parking lot and long line. These guys move quickly and will still manage to serve you with a smile. I ordered the breakfast sandwich (egg and cheese) on a sesame bagel with artichoke spinach feta schmear. It was a good choice that turned out to be my breakfast and my lunch. They also make great espresso. The maple cortado was lovely. Food and drinks came out quickly. A great spot. read more

Yum yum yum. I'm from Los Angeles where bagels are the best - maybe second only to NY. But The Bagel Shop was amazing. So fresh and the cream cheese was delish! Only complaint was the Mexican mocha was made too spicy. I could not even drink it and edged up just leaving it behind. read more

Got the Wasabi Lox special (just a bagel & lox but w seasame-wasabi schmear). Lox was divine. Prob one of the best bagel concoctions I've ever had. Also got the white rose coffee (white choc w steamed milk, 2 shots of espresso, and rose syrup). The rose syrup goes so well w the white chocolate. 100/10 would come back. So freaking delish read more

The bagels here were very good. Bummed they didn't have any sort of onion and chive cream cheese to go with the bagels, but the garlic smear they had was pretty good too. The bagel sandwich I got was also good. Nothing spectacular, but definitely good. read more

Delicious bagels! Perfect thing for a light morning breakfast. Coffee tastes amazing also. Will be my new go to here.

We loved this bagel shop in Homer. We rented a place in the area so we thought we would try it. The bagels and coffee were amazing and the customer service was outstanding. We plan to go to this place every day while in Homer. read more

5 stars for bagel quality. If you call yourself The Bagel Shop, you better get your namesake right - and they do. The location is a little strange though. It was a beautiful morning and we would've wanted to sit outside, but really the only option is a funny table in front of the main door with the view of the parking lot. The interior isn't expansive but welcoming in the cozy coffee shop kind of way. Overall, would def recommend and just like other reviewers have said, the Salt bagel is where it's at. read more

They're amazing! I tried them for the first time on a recent trip to Homer and had to stop by twice!

I had the bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Possibly, the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had!

I love seeing that they are open only by to drive up and see they are closed with no notice as to why. Nice business model with clear communication. Apparently locals support the fly by the seat of your feelings style shops like this. Too bad it use to be a good place. I guess I'll just go to the other options when I'm in Homer from now on read more

Wonderfully friendly staff, cute space, and reasonably priced tasty bagels. What more could you ask for? Will definitely be back next time I'm in Homer. read more

Really wanted to give it a 4/5 but have to give it a 3 because of two major things. 1) they got my order slightly wrong 2) there was a giant hair stuck to my schmear on my bagel. I ordered the spicy lox bagel but they didn't put the spicy schmear on it, which wasn't really a big deal, but is part of why I'm giving it a lower review. They put A LOT of lox on it, which was really awesome and good and I honestly thought the bagel was delicious until I got a giant hair stuck in my mouth, that wasn't mine. Which makes sense, because I noticed that they don't wear hairnets or anything, they just wear bandanas to pull their hair back. Anyway, it's affordable and good, just check your bagel for hair before you eat it. read more

Real bagels! Nice and chewy. Friendly staff. Line moves quickly. I'm succinct. Don't like long reviews. But min characters required.

Disappointed that the hours and updating their services. Every site said they are open when they really aren't. I would suggest updating your information, and even with the "call for order" the phone number is not a working number. read more

After just trying their smoked salmon, dill, caper and cream cheese topped bagel once, I have deemed this shop the be a mandatory stopover for every Homer itinerary. Having lived in Alaska my whole life, I had yet to experience an authentic, boiled bagel up until now. When I first found out about The Bagel Shop, I was ecstatic. My feeble mind was not prepared for just how amazing their products would be. The bagel itself was cooked perfectly with a crisp, bubbly exterior. Their smoked salmon melted in my mouth like butter. I'm extremely happy there's a place in Alaska that sells bagels of this caliber. It's a little bittersweet though in that I'd have to drive 4 hours each way in order to procure said bagels. Are they worth it? I'm leaning towards definitely. read more

Delicious bagels. We had two bagel sandwiches, the bahn mi and the BLT. Both very satisfying and generous with the ingredients. Very fast and gracious service too. Highly recommended. Because of its location, it looks like mostly locals come. Worth the side trip from the Spit or downtown. This restaurant needs to be listed as such, not just in the bagel category. read more

Incredible bagels. I'm partial to the everything bagel with the holy trinity shmear, but don't sleep on a salt with a sweet shmear either!

Best bagels in Alaska hand down. Worth a stop when I'm homer. Sandwiches are great, staff is always super nice. Love this place.

Nothing bad to say!! I got the bagel with lox and I was so satisfied. They did not skimp on anything.

We stayed in homer for 3 days total and came here twice! Get the lox bagel. Just do it. It is worth every penny. So good! Also the salt bagel by itself with plain cream cheese is to die for! Best bagel I've ever had. 2nd day I had the breakfast bagel with egg cheese and bacon outta bounds! The cafe Saigon is the most rich and flavorful cup of coffee I've ever had, highly recommended!!!! read more
