    Classic Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Kristin M.

    This is as good of a New York-style bagel you're going to get in McKinney, TX. (The only place to get the best tasting, most authentic NY bagels is... NYC.) The bagels were nice and big and soft on the inside. The classic chicken salad was elevated by dill and tasted amazing on two slices of toasted sourdough with cheese, bacon, and fresh lettuce and tomato. The Spicy One, a jalapeño cheddar bagel filled with egg, cream cheese, and jalapeños, was also delicious. Don't miss the fresh squeezed lemonade! They offer several flavors. We went with strawberry and it was perfectly tart and not-too-sweet. The staff were great, friendly and helpful answering questions. The restaurant is small, but doesn't feel crowded.

    Not sure what has happened but the cinnamon raisin bagels are nowhere near as good as they used to be. Almost a plain bagel now with a hint of what could be. When they first opened they had the best ones and now they are just ok. Please bring back the old recipe.

    Love the bagels, staff is amazing! they have a variety of food, not just bagels and spreads.

    It's decent. Room for improvement. Want bagels with more books and crannies like that of fresh yeast risen dough offers.

    I placed an order through UberEats on November 7th at this Einstein Bagel location with the…read moreintention of using it for breakfast on November 9th. When I opened the order (half a dozen bagels) today (11/9), I found that the bagels had not been sliced as requested, and the wrong schmear was provided (someone in my family has almond allergy). The shmear that came with it was immediately placed in the fridge by another family member at the time of arrival so I didn't see it until today (11/9). I called the restaurant to address the issue. The first employee I spoke with stated that my call was "breaking up," although I could hear her clearly. When I asked to speak with a supervisor numerous times, it was initially being brushed off, until I finally got one but at that point my annoyance was already high. The supervisor I spoke with was dismissive and focused on the fact that I was reporting the issue two days later rather than addressing the concern itself. I explained that I had not opened the order until the day I needed it, but the conversation became increasingly unproductive. As a customer, I expect accuracy in fulfilling orders and professionalism when resolving issues. Mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability or an apology from the supervisor was disappointing and did not reflect good customer service or leadership. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this location. The service I received lacked attention to detail, courtesy, and willingness to assist a customer with a valid concern. If I have all the time in the world, I would not be ordering via UberEats. It's very important that restaurants fulfilling the order through the delivery platform has to do it with efficiency and correctly as it can impact a plan for that person. The photos included in this comment is taken today 11/9.

I've tried a variety of…read moretheir offerings including the raspberry swirl bread, raspberry roll, Grandma's white bread, sourdough bread , cinnamon roll, chocolate chip cookie, gluten-free chocolate chip cookie, and Noble Coyote brand coffee which is a local roaster located in Dallas. I also tried two of the sandwich options one was the veggie sandwich and the other was the pizza grilled cheese sandwich, my favorite sandwich was the veggie sandwich. My son had the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and loved it. What stands out most is their commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients without cheap fillers or preservatives. The breads are flavorful and wholesome though occasionally a bit firm if not baked that same day, which is expected with preservative free baking. I've learned to time my visits with their baking schedule to get the freshest, softest loaves. The service is always friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting -- like a cozy mom-and-pop deli. The shop is clean and also offers a charming selection of extras like local honey, jams, tea towels, sourdough starters, pizza dough, olives, and pickled veggies. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and care put into their products. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for freshly baked goods and a welcoming local experience.

    Great service, funky little joint, beloved by the neighborhood…read more Prices in person are really high. You only get the online prices if you order before noon the day before. A dozen bagels and a rub of cream cheese will set you back $31. Ordering the day before it'll be $24 Einstein's is $19.75 for 13 bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese and I didn't taste much of a difference. The lox and fresh veggie options are good but they don't have breakfast sandwiches here. James Beard Award and DDD visits are great but not sure that justifies a $5 price tag for a bagel & schmear and jumping through hoops to order so they know what kind of bagels to make and how many staff they need

    Reposting my review that I also just made on Google…read more I'll be honest, I was shocked to see as many 1--3 star reviews for this place. I get it - it's a little pricy outside of waiting for the $1 bagels between 12pm-1pm - but holy schikies the quality is amazing. The bagels themselves - all 10/10. The schmears are insanely good - the basil schmear literally blew my mind. I didn't know a schmear could taste that refreshing. The cucumber sandwich - incredible - never would have thought bagel, with cream cheese and cucumber could be THAT good. Sure - it's a bit pricy pre-12pm (but what placing selling real food with real ingredients isn't these days!) spent $40 on a sandwich, bagel with butter and bagel with the fermented jalapeno schmear - but sorry not sorry - still worth it. All these cry babies in these lower reviews complaining about how the bagel they wanted was no available - it's because they are that good. Sorry - you snooze you lose. Get up earlier, preorder if you want it that bad. To the owners of Starship Bagel - hope you guys never sell out (well keep selling our of product so you stay in business yes) but you know not sell out to big mega food corps, and keep doing what you're doing. People need more food establishments making food out of actual real ingredients - not the slop bucket artificial BS that 99% of any other chain bagel shop is going to use. Just look up what Einstein puts in their highly processed schmere's, it's trash and it tastes like it too. Zero chance if they put out a basil schmere that it wouldn't be chock full of artificial junk - just look up the their strawberry schmere on Instacart - ingredients include: Maltodextrin (filler, usually corn based), Modified Food Starch (likely where the bioengineered junk is coming from as noted under the ingredients), Natural Flavor (God only knows where the hell that came from), Guar Gum (a soluble fiber derived from the ground endosperm of guar beans - not something I want in my schmere), Color (almost get a pass except they state they use Caramel which is usually an artificial / petrol base colorant that is not good for you), Carob Bean Gum (plant-based thickening agent and stabilizer - still don't want it), Xantham Gum (produced by fermenting sugar with the bacteria Xanthomonas campestris), and then lastly Natamycin (natural antifungal preservative produced by bacteria -Streptomyces natalensis - something you really want to eat much of?). I'm tired of fake food, that tastes like cardboard. That lacks any nutritional value. We should celebrate when new companies come out like this - and not only that - but they offer their bagels at $1 if they have any left over after 12pm. These people deserve a block party in their honor for producing such high quality products - that yes - those unwilling to wait till 12pm whose selections might be more limited - will have to pay a bit more. People who recognize quality and hard working people will continue to come here. Last note, if you're trying to avoid seed oils, soybean lecithin / soybean oil - this is also a great place for you - and its one of the few places my wife can actually eat at since 99% of places in the USA these days, even the ones you think are higher quality - use trash ingredients with soy as a base - these guys do not. For that I say thank you again - to the owners of Starship Bagel. You guys rock - don't listen to the winey cry baby haters.
