    Does Bialy's Bagels make the BEST bagels in all of Cleveland? YES!!! Without a doubt! #BestbagelsinCleveland I moved to Cleveland in late 2019, right by Bialy's and would often walk over every Sunday to pick up my sister and I a cinnamon crunch bagel before they sold out for the day. We loved these large bagels, generously topped with crunchy cinnamon sugar as sweet Sunday brunch treats. I moved in 2021 and am no longer close to the store (and also didn't eat bread for 2 years) but I went back last Sunday to recreate some of the pre-pandemic magic I remember. Bialy's has since expanded to also be a sandwich shop but I just got two bagels, one rosemary and one cranberry cinnamon. They were both hot and fresh and under $2 each. I've been to other bagel places since but nothing compares to Bialy's! I also saw one of the co-owners while I was there and felt like I was in the presence of a celebrity!

    Bialy's just started offering breakfast sandwiches so I knew I had to try it! They recently started doing online orders as well, but only for bagels in bulk. You have to order the breakfast sandwiches in person, but it is so worth it. You can build your own sandwich from a list of ingredients on the menu. The interior of the store is clean and the staff are so nice. The bagels were delicious with generous toppings and a crunchy exterior. I will definitely be Back!

    Bagels!

    Great bagels to go and nice staff. We purchased various bagels: pumpernickel, rye, Asiago, and plain. All were great! And the bagel chips were fantastic (even at $8/bag). Staff: very friendly and helpful Overall cleanliness: above average

    Good bagel but terrible cream cheese. Tastes powdery and frankly was inedible. Not sure if that is because it was labeled "farm fresh" and my pallet is more Philadelphia style. Most folks were getting bagels and not the cream cheese so I'll try that again next time. Sesame and mush mosh were solid, staff was nice, and ambiance was in and out. Lots of bagel choices but they are not cut out for toasting, sandwiches, etc. stick to just the bagels.

    Unsalted pretzel and plain bagel

    Ever since I returned from Philadelphia I've been on a quest to find bialys. I was so happy to finally find them here! I did their online ordering to obtain half dozen mish mosh bialys and pick up an unsalted pretzel and an unsalted bagel for my daughter. The earliest you can place your order for is 8:00. Arrived there at 7:30 with confirmation email in hand. There was no line so went right in. The place is very small and not made for dining in. But oh so fresh!! You can smell the bialys as hot and delicious. They packed them well for me and headed home. I was literally blown away by the size of the bialy. I was able to heat it in the oven. I added some freeze dried blueberries to the center. This bialy was so soft, chewy, and so filling but lighter in texture than a regular bagel. The blueberries gave the right amount of flavor to it. Sure it's not covered in poppyseeds but the everything or mish mosh as they call it comes close to it. Please note-bialys only stay fresh for about a day or two. It is best to individually wrap the excess in foil in order to stay in the freezer for up to a month. Then I can heat them up as I need to. My daughter loved her bagel. She said it was the best bagel she had in a long time. I'm sure the pretzel will not disappoint. Now I'm glad to have found my new favorite breakfast item a lot closer to home. Located near Beachwood, they have their own parking lot.

    I went at approximately 930am on a Saturday and the bagels were not soft. One egg bagel was actually hard already. I directly compared their pumpernickel to my local other bagel chain and the Bialy pumpernickel had almost zero flavor. It was just a brown plain bagel. Sad. The Milk and Cookies local Cleveland brand cookies I bought were good and had unique flavors such as s'mores and everything bagel seasoned chocolate chip, so that was a positive note.

    although they have a large selection of bagels and ways you can have it, i was craving something sweet. ordered an apple cinnamon bagel with a some sweet cream cheese and it was good! will have to come back to have some sort of breakfast bagel with egg and meat on it sometime.

    I went in expecting something similar to Einstein's Bagels, and it was very similar- except no seating. Wide variety of bagel selections and toppings, although just one type of cream cheese, and don't even get me started on the coffee-DISGUSTING. On top of it, not sure what's happening, but all of their ceiling tiles were missing?? So all of the exposed piping and insulation is a great touch to their aesthetic I will say, the staff I did interact with were very nice and helpful, but the other half of the staff kinda just stared at me. Probably not going to visit again. My pretzel bagel was mediocre.

I saw some menu items that sounded light and refreshing (like the lox with cucumbers) and figured it was worth a try. As I followed my GPS and other people walking in, I had no idea what to expect -- but the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away. The space is filled with beautifully curated shops and venues all under one roof, and the energy was vibrant, electric, and welcoming. People of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures were there -- it truly felt like a community gathering spot that instantly felt like home. I placed my order, grabbed the lox and a Coca‑Cola, and found a free table amidst so many people enjoying themselves. The community feel was unmistakable -- people chatting, laughing, and soaking up the atmosphere. The food was wonderful, the service was fantastic, and overall the experience was unforgettable.

That said, I was disappointed by the size. For $20, I expected a thick, hearty sandwich, but this felt pretty skimpy for the price. Ordering was also a bit frustrating -- I had to repeat myself three times, and the employee taking my order had AirPods in. When your job involves communicating with customers, that really shouldn't be allowed by management. Good flavors, but between the small portion and the ordering experience, it's only 3 stars for me.

The nurses and I ordered food from Cocky's for the second and last time. The food here is so good but I feel like I have to be there and supervise to ensure my order is correct and organized. Both orders we spent over $100 and yesterday was the last time. We ordered different items including kettle chips that were not homemade but still charged $2.50, sandwiches THAT WERE MADE WRONG, 4 orders of buffalo chicken dip and bagel chips that were ROCK HARD and thrown in ONE giant bag that needed to be split up amongst nursing. Last time we ordered Gluten free bagel chips with our Buffalo chicken dip, along with other flavors of bagel chips and those were not included. Just plain. AND WE HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR GLUTEN FREE!! Needless to say, my coworker could not have eat her food due to unknown gluten. Then after ordering $100 worth of food, NOTHING WAS LABELED with names after we specifically called and asked them to do that. I mean honestly, after spending so much money and hyping up my coworkers to get Cocky's both times, this was a horrible disappointment. No one knew whose food was whose. And when we called the first time to talk to someone, it was impossible to reach anyone. Then when we did speak to someone, they simply said "sorry". SORRY?! Do you know how much door dash is? I expect to get cold food when receiving it on someone else's time, but completely wrong food?? Food made incorrectly, that someone has an allergy to... and you say SORRY? No, we want a refund. Half of us spent money and didn't get to eat. The customer service sucks and I work at multiple hospitals, so I will be sure to let them all know that Cockys does not care about their customers.
