    Everything Bagel w/ scallion cream cheese onion and cucumber
    Alycia J.

    Small shop feel which I LOVE. Reminds me of my home town bagel shops which is in NJ. Bagel was slightly on the drier end. Proportions of cream cheese veggies were perfect. I got the everything bagel lightly toasted w light butter, scallion cream cheese, cucumber and onions. Coffee was too strong. Wouldn't mind coming again cause it's closer to our home.

    I really wanted to like this place, but Bagel Express in Sugar Land was a huge disappointment. First red flag, there were flies buzzing around inside the "freshly baked" goods display. Not exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to grab a bagel. When I did order, the bagel itself didn't taste fresh at all, more like something that had been sitting out than actually baked that morning (we went at 10am). Somehow more expensive than a bagel sandwich in NYC. For $13, I got a breakfast bagel where the slice of cheese was literally thicker than the egg. Hard to take that seriously. Between the flies, stale taste, and overpriced food, we won't be coming back.

    Bryant B.

    Ah man...I wanted to like this place so bad. First time coming. Came for the Lox but went with the Brooklyn boy for myself and the Mexican (plus bacon) for my son. All downhill from there. We sat for at least 30-40 mins waiting. When I asked someone to check on my order it came out 5 mins later. Arriving home I realized the food wasn't right. The Mexican presentation was great, it didn't have any bacon tho. For +$4 I definitely wanted my bacon. The Brooklyn boy...trash. There was no onions or feta cheese at all. Pastrami was only on half of my sandwich. Literally. I called and expressed my issue. I was told I could return for a refund, in which I did. I was satisfied until I got home and actually counted the money. I was only refunded the $4 for the bacon. I even showed pics of the badly made Brooklyn boy. I'm pretty upset bc I wouldn't have wasted my time to drive back up there for $4. I spent $40 on probably the most terrible dining experience I've had in a very long time. Needless to say I'm never going back there.

    Always good service. Good options for breakfast. I love the Jersey Boy. It's a little pricey but worth it.

    Whitefish Salad on a Sesame Bagel
    Celia S.

    I've been yearning for Whitefish salad. Growing up in Toronto, every Sunday my Dad picked up bagel and smoked fish. Leaving in Houston, there were a couple of delis and I always ordered a combo of Egg salad, Smoked salmon (lox) and Whitefish salad. I was thrilled to find Bagel Express when we moved to Sugar Land/Missouri City. Today, I was carving for their Whitefish Salad and picked it up. They were just closing and washing the floor. The interior was immaculate and clean. Friendly staff and service. They have an excellent variety on their menu.

    Whitefish Salad on bagels.

    I was craving Whitefish Salad and decided to check Bagel Express's website and to my surprise they have Whitefish Salad on their website. I called to check if it was available and they did. They said they close at 2:00 p.m. I jumped in my car and had 8 minutes to get there, arrived just in time. I was thrilled to enjoy the Whitefish salad when I got home. Will be my go to place when I crave for more. Thank you, Bagel Express!

    3 Bagels(1- W/Butter, 1- W/Cream Cheese plain, 1- W/ Bacon) total= $16.24 WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Manny C.

    Just came in and grabbed 3 bagels for a brunch. When the lady rung me up I was like are you sure that's the right total. She said yes. These are bagels not burgers...... please don't wast your money here. There are better values out there. Very expensive for no reason. Avg. bagels. My mother in law was a regular customer and she said their prices have gone through the roof and she can't justify the cost. Passssssas!!!!

    French Toast - No butter or strawberries
    Kathy S.

    I was excited to check this place out. As my cousins raved about it, particularly the french toast. It was nice to see the variety of bagels they had and excellent choice of sandwiches. I just did not know what I wanted, but stuck with the original of the french toast, otherwise I would have regretted it. Of the 4 of us, 3 had french toast and 1 had a bagel. There were no complaints on the taste. They were very good. The disappointment was that the pics all reflect strawberries over the toast and just made it look that much better. Mind you the Menu description on the website does not say anything about a fruit, but shows the toast with strawberries. Upon arrival, the breakfast came in styrofoam with plastic ware. No butter was provided, so we had to ask. Then when we asked about the strawberries, we were told they had run out. We then asked about any other fruit availability - none. So I asked, ok, then what about a discount - no can do. Coffee was very good. It's a little deli and although it wasn't filled up with people, I can see where things can get tight. My 3-stars is based on the strawberries. We should have been told at the beginning. I know for sure one in our group may have taken another option. And it is likely, if we had strawberries as an option, we would have had to pay for it. Stronly recommend if you don't have something that is expected, put it up front for the customer to decide how they want to proceed.

    (#3) BROOKLYN BOY

    Rubenesque - was nice, had great sauerkraut and Russian dressing. The pastrami was decent. I know NY sandwich's go overkill with the meat. But I was like man this bread is way too thin for this amount of meat. It helped that the pastrami was great quality though. 4/5 Cheesesteak sandwich - the cheesesteak sandwich was solid. Good proportions and tasted great, the sandwich was kinda fatty given that this sandwich uses provolone. Felt a bit greasy but too crazy, still a fantastic sandwich. 3.5/5 Miscellaneous - love the environment and the ambience, gives off a NY vibe while being in Sugarland. The staff is nice and patient and are willing to give solid recommendations. 5/5

    Blueberry bagel with cream cheese
    Gin Y.

    So, we really wanted to try this spot out, and one day we decided to grab lunch here along the way while running errands. First things first, they are takeout only right now. There's no indoor dining. Only one of the two employees inside was wearing a mask, which made me uncomfortable. Since this was our first time here, we just ordered their blueberry bagel with cream cheese and their everything bagel with egg, cheese, and bacon. We asked for both of these sandwiches to be toasted. The blueberry bagel wasn't flavorful, and their cream cheese spread was sour and salty. We didn't get the aroma of cream cheese that we're familiar with. The everything bagel had a lot of flavor, with garlic as the predominant flavor. The texture of the bagel was quite hard and chewy, though. But, the eggs, cheese, and bacon filling weren't very flavorful. I thought the eggs needed seasoning as well. Next time, I may order the plain, onion, or sesame bagel and ask that the filling be seasoned more with salt. Their menu is extensive. So, I may come back and try their lunch sandwiches and omelettes. I may also try coming earlier in the morning to get their bagels and food at their freshest. Unfortunately, we came here closer to when they were almost going to close up shop.

    They say the cookies come from NYC
    Karina M.

    Four words for ya.... Black And White Cookie. Yes. You can find one here and I loved it. The bagels are great too, and affordably priced.... and did I mention they taste great? I have been to pretty much every bagel place in Southwest Houston and Bagel Express is definitely on my short list of places I like =) That's my New Yorker review. Also, please note the place does deli sandwiches and uses Boar's Head brand meat, which is really nice compared to inferior cuts you get unless you use the Boar's Head name! Cash only- but yea, we all know that by now, right?

    Stale, dry, and chewy (but not good bagel chewy)

    WONDERFUL WAFFLE FANTASTIC FRIES…read more Saturday 1 pm. 30 minute wait. Place is small. Raining. Outside tables and bar seating is available right now. We wait. Menu is on a QR code on napkin box or u can ask for paper menu. ALOT of variety. Burrito, chicken and waffles, donuts, chicken wings, spam and eggs, bulgogi kimchi fries, country fried steak and more. Ordered 1. Ube Waffle- Warm, creamy, buttery, fresh waffle taste, delicious! Would order again and again 2. Bulgogi Kimchi fries- I was not expecting them to be this good as kimchi has a very strong fermented, acidic flavor. SO GOOD. There wasn't tons of kimchi on the fries, they have mayo and hosin sauce on them with cliantro and other stuff. did I say SO GOOD? Would order again and again as a shareable between friends. 3. Country Fried Steak, sunny side up eggs and cheesy hash- I did not expect it to be so tender. The pepper flavor hit me right away. The runny eggs with some hash on the fork, delicious combo. 4. Viet style Steak and eggs- My friend ordered it, it's his second time ordering. He loves it. It comes with a salad, dressing and two how u want'em eggs. The steak is marinated and tender. Service was fast. I had a mimosa, it wasn't too orangey or too champagney. I loved the glass it came it, stylish and tapered upwards. Would try a different drink next time. They have a lot of different drinks. Overall, the visit has me wanting more, especially hearing about their unique donuts. Already looking forward to next visit. Gonna try other things in the menu. The fries and waffle would be part of my final death row meal

She also ordered hot tea and got to choose her tea bag from a lovely box, which was a cute touch. The only thing I might say is that the owner was a bit brusque/gruff. I understand being businesslike and I know customers can be a pain in the food industry, but his attitude was just not very welcoming I suppose. Still a good experience overall though!

My dad and I ordered the birria grilled cheese, and that also did not taste good. This restaurant prioritized massive quantities of food over quality. The large size of foods led the food to not be cooked adequately. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Don't be misled by the positive reviews like I was.

The baked potato was not fully cooked, so it was very difficult even to cut it in half. I'm not sure what happened on the season vegetables, but they were literally burnt so I'm not sure if they saute them after they flash boil them? So the broccoli was burnt and mushy, and the carrots were hard as a rock. The portion size was very large, except for the salmon, which was about 5 ounces. The menu called for it to be blackened, but there was very little if any seasoning on it at all, and certainly it was not blackened. Turning attention to the turkey plate, it was not nicely carved in the ocean slices of turkey rather it looked like pulled apart, sandwich meat on not so high-quality white bread. I definitely think there's a lot of room for improvement, but it's a risk given so many restaurants in the general area to stop back. Del was our server. He was very polite and did a good job.
