I hit this place because it was the highest and most rated lunch spot. And it did not disappoint. The bagels were so fresh and chewy and good. The ingredients were fresh. The service was quick and lots of searing. Def get something with pickles. The pickles were amazing. read more

Food great, kids working there are hard working. Owner/manager is a loud obnoxious idiot! Instead of adding seating how about accommodating the staff with proper space to work? I asked for a glass for water while waiting (48 minutes) which I didn't complain, it was a rush. I added a squirt of lemonade for sugar and he yelled "I won't charge you for the drink you stole"! He screamed it in front of all the people waiting and had no idea of the facts. I even told him I mixed it and didn't steal, but he can still charge me if he would like and he did not apologize.Poor kids who work there! They did not stop working for a minute and were so pleasant. their boss just showed up to yell at me and disappeared again. read more

Really cool place! I didn't utilize this shop back in the 90's when i was here for a year, and it showed. Really good bagels! Loved the atmosphere! read more

You know those places from college that are just nostalgic? This is one of those for me. And sometimes you go back and it's not as good as expected. BSD though is just as great as I remembered!! Came for a Feta is Beta which is one of my college orders and it's still amazing. Hits the spot literally every time. Other good options are the Larry david and Tom's turkey. This is an Athens staple. read more

A long overdue review from my weekend in Athens for a friend's graduation. This was my first time at Bagel Street and I was not disappointed. After a weekend of late nights and probably too many drinks, my bagel sandwich just hit differently. I am sure next time I am in Athens I'll have to stop back in for another. read more

Bagel Street Deli - Delis Near Me - Athens, Ohio

I wish I had taken a photo of my MASSIVE bagel sandwich, but in my hunger I had forgotten. I stopped by here for a late breakfast on a Friday, and you could tell this is a popular spot based on the emptiness of the shelves. My bagel options were "limited," but by no means was I disappointed with what was left. I got the Wendy's way on the sundered tomato bagel and it was so fresh and filling. My hands were covered in cream cheese and the bagel had the best flavor. It cost me 8 bucks, which for what I got seemed reasonable. I would definitely be back. Just be sure to maybe go early and be prepared for a slight wait. The place is popular and all sandwiches are made fresh! read more

Fun atmosphere and wide range of sandwich options - fresh and delicious. Great local vibe. Remember to write your name on the wall!

I love Bagel Street Deli! I've tried many things over many visits and have always been happy with my order; the staff is always kind and efficient. It's always fun to sit and chat with a friend there! read more

My friends who went to OU were raving about this place and I see why! Despite how busy it was, the line moved quickly and our food came out fast as well. I had the Tomacco and added turkey, it was heavenly. If I ever make my way back to Athens they will definitely be stop! read more

Favorite place to get food in athens. Service is always quick no matter how long the line is. Tons of flavors to choose from no matter you mood. Everything is made to order so you don't have to worry about freshness and there's an all around coziness to the place that is tough to beat. Prices are reasonable and a great place to sit and people watch what's happening on court street. Don't pas up this little spot! read more

While it's probably unnecessary to update my review with another five star review, I need people to understand the depth of my love for Bagel Street Deli. As a remote employee of the university, I am afforded the opportunity to return to Athens a few times a year for meetings, trainings and projects. And without fail, Bagel Street Deli happens at least twice during every visit: my first day in town and my last. Is it nostalgia baked into the bagels? Is it the endless combinations of bagels and toppings? Is it that I can always find someone willing to go with me? I don't know and, frankly, it doesn't matter. In a world that feels like a dumpster fire with alarming frequency, I am glad that Bagel Street Deli remains a source of joy and carbohydrates. Until next time, BSD. read more

Incredible bagel shop in athens Ohio! Located on Court street you can't miss this. Prices are good (~$6.5-8.50 per bagel as compared to Einstein bros) and it is all good and hefty bagels. They have at the least vegetarian options, though I assume they also offer vegan given their extensive tofu and veggie availability. Im happy to go here every time I do, so try it out! I go every time we return to OU read more

Bagel Street Deli - Baked Wu tofu bagel - Delis Near Me - Athens, Ohio

If there was such a thing as a Culinary Heaven; well, this is it! Are you kidding me?!?! The variety of food found on the menu rivals only the absolute great quality of the food, itself. Yes, it takes time to prepare your order, but Rome wasn't built in a day, and fine wine takes years to mature, so what's a few extra minutes here and there. I love this place, and I think that you will too. read more

Dearly beloved... I am gathered here today to discuss this wondaful bagel sammich! Today, I happen to have lunch with one of my students and we decided to try this particular place. Looks like a hole in the wall but if you know like I know, hole in the wall restaurants are THE best!!! Their art on the brick wall is dope too! You have to appreciate everything about this joint! They have so many bagel and sandwich options its crazy!!!! I decided to go off the cashiers recommendation and he suggested the Mr. Meaty and boy it was a great option. I added honey mustard with provolone cheese on an Asiago bagel. It was juicy and tasty!! I will say, if you're looking for a place to sit, this is not the place. The food is amazing though and their turn around time is quick for a lunch time rush. Try the Mr. Meaty it'll bless ya! read more

Is there anything better than a college bagel cafe? My daughter and I both loved this place. She definitely thought the inside was much better than the Bagel place at Miami U. I got a breakfast bagel and all of their eggs are hard-boiled and sliced. I was skeptical, but it worked. I'm sure my daughter will be here a lot over the next 4 years and I plan to visit it again. read more

My go-to stop whenever I'm in Athens! Food is always hot and fresh. There are rotating soup options but the tomato basil is my favorite. The menu is so big that there really is something for everyone! Lots of vegetarian options too. The building is super funky and unique with chalk all over the walls and tin foil sculptures stuck in the brick. read more

Best Bagels ever, this is fact I discovered it in college, and since moving back to Columbus, my wife, pup, & I make regular trips for bagel fixes. Favorite: Veggie Reuben with spicy mustard, and get a big pickle too read more

Bagel Street Deli - a dog on the sidewalk - Delis Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Sandwiches were really good! We both got the tofubien, a tofu Reuben. I veganized mine with vegan provolone instead of Swiss and spicy mustard instead of thousand island dressing. I got mine on a rye bagel. Bagel was surprisingly soft! My husband got his as it comes but picked the everything bagel. They hit the spot. Was kind of bummed there wasn't anything on the menu appropriate for smaller kids. Also, it was about 30 minutes before they closed and all the chairs were up and the person taking our order seemed annoyed. read more

Always the place to go for a quick breakfast or lunch! When I was in Athens for grad school BSD was my staple 3 days a week. I make it a pot to go back every time I'm im Athens! That's for the great food! read more

First time eating here. Have eaten here 3 times with my wife since moving back after 22 years gone from my hometown. Very great business. Well ran. Beautiful. Amazing food. Great cooks. Decorative walls. Prices aren't bad. Tasty. Only problem we've encountered is dirty tables to eat at. Not on top of cleaning them for as busy as they are. But we will be back. Trust me! We love bagels. And the atmosphere is great!!!!! We get 2 bagels, chips 3 bags usually and drinks we refill. Usually runs around 17$ or so only. Great place to stop at just walking Court Street or stopping just to eat at or pick up. Highly recommend the bagel place. Just find a clean table. Maybe it's us, since we prefer the sane table but we usually just wipe it off ourselves. No reason to complain like Karen's or be rude pricks to an amazing staff and well run local business. read more

Alwayts delicious . This place nwver dissapoints. I gave been going here for 10 years and always can count on great food and service.

I had a better experience than my last. I stopped in and enjoyed the Kimmie Gibbler a veggie sandwich topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, cream cheese and sprouts. It was delicious and my bagel was steamed well. I'm glad BSD was able to redeem themselves from the last visit! read more

This is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life... Hands down, second to none! I can pretty much guarantee you everytime I go to Athens from here on out, I will either go there for lunch or take one for the road. They have a crazy variety of bagel sandwiches, I highly doubt you could have the same one if you went there over the course of your life time! Outstanding job BSD! read more

Bagel Street Deli - The inside. Pretty cool! - Delis Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Bagel Street Deli is the best bagel place in Athens. It's locally owned so it's better than anything you can get at Bruegger's. The menu has many funky named items. It's known for their flavors of cream cheese. They also have lots of vegetarian choices, and nothing is overly pricey. It's a series of menus on the wall with many items, so you may want to look at it online before you go. This will help to keep from holding up the line while you look it over. It has sections for breakfast, meats, and vegetarian bagels. The Cajun Craze is made with spicy tofu. It's about $3 for a bagel. They also have other items like salads. It has such a funky atmosphere inside. The walls are covered with chalk initials and quotes. Bagels aren't more plentiful in Athens than here. It's one of the most popular restaurants visitors ask about. The menu is really big so first timers should look online. read more

Delicious chicken caprese sandwich on pretzel bagel! Chicken noodle soup had hearty chunks of carrots, celery & chicken + flavorful broth. Not so sure what I think of steamed bagels but the above 2 dishes were great! read more

Ahhhh, Bagel Street Deli. I have missed you and I'm so glad I got the chance to visit you again. Friends and I were on a road trip to Charlotte, NC from Columbus, OH and our route took us straight through Athens. Lucky for us, we needed gas and everyone in the car happened to be an OU alum. Taking a minor detour to BSD was a quick and easy decision for all of us. We found street parking around the block and made our way to the small shop on Court St. It was rather quiet when we arrived, and it didn't take long for us to pick out our sandwich of choice. I went with my old favorite, the Kimmy Gibbler on a jalapeno cheddar bagel. This bagel sandwich comes with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, tomato, sprouts/lettuce, and avocado. The preparation didn't take long, and we all packed back into the car and ate our breakfast on the road. It was delicious as always, and nostalgic af. It was as though nothing has changed over the past ten years since I graduated. The same foil wrapped bagels, the same artsy vibe, the same friendly hipsters making all the magic happen. It's comes as no surprise that this long-standing Athens staple is still moving and grooving. Delicious food, good prices, local shop supporting other local spots, etc. I can't wait for my next random pit stop. Not sure when it will be, but it will happen eventually, one hundred percent. read more

I wish I would have taken a picture! This place is just a smorgasbord of different bagel and ingredient combinations. We ended up getting four of them and we enjoyed all of them! You choose the variety of what you want, you choose the type of bagel, and then you can choose cheeses or whatever. Endless combinations! We had one of the rubens, the pizza one, the feta and spinach one, and a bacon and egg one. They were just excellent. Like the four of them were good for the two of us after hiking all day. Great location and indoor space. Just felt like a great restaurant in a cool college town. I feel like that's enough said read more

As I took my first steps into Bagel Street, I was greeted by the loud music playing in the back. A very eclectic mix of rap and hip hop was playing. Not to mention the pokemon theme song was playing at one point. Needless to say, this place has personality. As for their food, I got the fiery moe. As they passed me my order, the heat was radiating from the alumnum foil. I needed napkins to shield my hands from the heat. Decided it was way too hot to eat right then and there, so I decided to bring it home. When I took my first bite, I tasted the heat from the banana peppers and the meatiness of the turkey. Really good bagel sandwich overall. Spicy, meaty, juicy--this bagel has it all. read more

As an OU alumni, BSD has a special place in my heart. I recently went back to OU for a visit after not being there for about 10 years. The bagels are just as amazing af ever!

I'm in Athens this month and I'm so glad I found this gem! It really reminds me of bagels shops I went to in NYC. I love the busy atmosphere. It is on OU campus, so I'm not sure how parking is since I live in a dorm. If you go on a weekend morning it's definitely going to be packed. We ordered then went to get coffee and came back. I got the Reuben on an onion bagel and it came out piping hot in a foil wrapper. 10/10 on the taste. I would definitely get it again. We didn't want to eat inside due to how crowded it was, so we went outside and sat on a staircase in front of a church. You'll see people just eating while walking or hanging outside on benches and steps. It was really fun! The weather was great as well. read more

Great service and best bagels in Athens. Now, they are the best bagels in Columbus too.

Bagel Street is one of my must stops when I'm in Athens, Ohio. Now I must disclose that I am an alum of Ohio University so part of my affinity to Bagel Street is nostalgia. With that being said though, bagel street does have some phenomenal steamed bagel sandwiches. The pictures I posted were from Homecoming Weekend, so the tiny restaurant is slammed. The multitude of customers should however prove that Bagel Street is thought to be delicious by many others. I may be thought of as being basic with my bagel order, I always get Kim's Kraving, which has shaved turkey, lettuce, bacon, a choice of cheese, and mayo. I order it up on a plain bagel. I know I am not exciting with my order, but I just love that darn bagel. Those with me ordered The Kevorkian with roast beef, swiss lettuce, bacon and ranch dressing. Also The Rueben and the Pizza Bagel. They loved them all. If you happen to find spare chalk on your walk to the back to place your order at the counter, you can sign your name on the bricks. You can also create some sort of origami out of the tin foil that your bagel comes in. If you feel the need you can leave your tin foil behind by finding a crack in the wall between the bricks. It will make more sense when you stop by yourself. Enjoy!!! read more

I love this place. Bagel Street is an Athens staple. There really isn't a proper comparison. Their menu is enormous so I'd definitely recommend looking at what you want before you come because you can customize the sandwiches however you would like. I always have a great experience here and the new remodeling makes it even better now that there's space to sit down and eat at the new table area. I am graduating soon and am so sad to be leaving bagel street since there is no bagel shop that is nearly as good as bagel street. My personal favorite is the Kimmy Gibbler since I'm a vegetarian. I highly highly recommend you visit. read more

This establishment is truly awful. I have waited over a year to post this because truly I couldn't be bothered but today did it for me. This is the slowest establishment in the history of stores. It is run by college students that only talk and dance the whole time. On a regular busy day you will wait over an hour for one bagel. And if you think it's because there aren't enough workers, you're wrong. There will be over 7 college students in the kitchen all talking and fooling around. I hadn't been for over 6 months and decided to go because I saw NO one was there. I waited over 20 mins for one bagel. And to make it worse 3 out of the 4 things I asked for weren't on the bagel. Let me reiterate this, I was the ONLY one there. This establishment needs a serious management change. It is unacceptable to be waiting this long for wrong food. And 9/10 times you go they will give you an attitude like you are ruining their day for ordering a simple bagel. This business needs to be shut down read more
