The bagel was fresh and perfectly toasted. I would say this was one of my favorite bagels in GR! I also got a chai oat milk latte, which was delicious and had a great kick of spices.

I would recommend pre-ordering the week leading up if you can't get there early. We went with the BEC on a cheddar everything, spicy boy on a cheddar jalapeño bagel and a hash brown on the side - YUM. The bacon egg and cheese was our winner, but each item was delicious. The everything cheddar might be my new favorite bagel in Grand Rapids! The spicy boy did pack a punch and did live up to the name, with a lingering heat. Those who love spice would be big fans. Set in such a cute area and the interior is a very cute, inviting space. Service was wonderful and inviting as well. Can't wait to be back to try more bagels!

I was finally able to walk here this Saturday morning to try Blacklist Bagels! It's run out of Chef…read moreShack, which is a small storefront that rents out to local chefs/businesses. They are only open on Saturdays 8-1pm, and I used to live farther away and it would've been difficult to make the trip to Eastown, but currently I'm walking distance to Lake Dr. It's a small store with about 3 tables inside, so mostly for takeout. I was expecting a line at 9am, but there were only a few people ahead of me! They do open advanced online ordering, which may help with the foot traffic. I ordered 3 bagels - everything, asiago, and za'tar ($8 for 3). They were out of sesame, and I got the last za'tar bagel. I wanted to make my own breakfast sandwich at home, so I didn't try their sandwiches or cream cheese this time. I also ordered a vanilla oatmilk latte from Toro Coffee (~$6), which had a pop-up stand inside as well. The bagels almost look "overbaked/overcooked," but they really just have that nice crispy exterior and fluffy inside that bagels are supposed to have! Being from the East Coast, I've complained a lot about there not being good bagels in Grand Rapids - but this is easily the best spot I've tried! I will come here again to pick up bagels for a special occasion!

This place was busy but the line moved quickly enough. The ambiance was a little cramped…read more The bagels seemed fresh but I don't believe they are made on site. We ordered three bagel sandwiches that were on the menu. They were out of the one type so we switched it to a blueberry instead. That was fine. They added tomato to my sandwich after I made it pretty clear that I did not want it on there. It was not apparent if the person taking my order missed that part or if it was the people on line. The veggie sandwich on the Rosemary flavored bagel was pretty good overall. The other part that was kind of annoying was that I ordered my coffee hot and half sweet. It came iced and fully sweet. I would not likely be in a rush to come back but I would give it another shot before completely writing it off.

I almost had a panic attack in my midsize SUV (but she's thick so...). It started off fine like "oh dang this is narrow but its a tiny corner lot so I get it." Then it quickly turned into my car sensors blowing up while I'm working out a 20-point turn to get around the corner without hitting the wall in front of me, the curb below me or the steel poles EVERYWHERE. But we made it. Rest assured. Next time, I'll just walk inside. :-)

Not great... We…read morestopped by Bagel Beanery on Michigan St in G.R. on our way out of town. It was around 10:30 am. Parking is nonexistent, so we decided to hit the drive through and eat at a local park. If you have a large vehicle (truck, full-size SUV, etc...) be very careful in the drive through. It is quite tight. Luckily we had my wife's Blazer, which was no issue. Service was pleasant, polite and fast. As for the food, it wasn't great. I ordered the Denver Bagel Omelette Sandwich. It had a cold Asiago bagel with a piece of ham, scrambled egg, green pepper slices and melted cheese. I think the cold bagel with the warm egg and melted cheese threw it off. It was just a weird warm/cold combo and I was expecting a bit of crunch from the bagel, but was left with a soft, blah texture. My wife ordered the Smoked Salmon Classic Bagel Sandwich. She had the same experience. While she expected a cold bagel with hers, she told me her salmon had zero flavor. She was expecting, salt, lemon, something. She ended up eating the bagel and cream cheese without the salmon. The coffee was okay and look, we are not spoiled high class restaurant critics. We just expect that food will have flavor and some thought put into what is being served. We paid $35 for two bagel sandwiches and two medium coffees. The food just wasn't worth a premium like that. Too many other places to try to come back.

They do some limited holiday themed desserts, have their everyday offerings like different flavors of croissants, breads, cupcakes, cookies, cake pops and sooo much more including sandwiches also! The people working the counter are always so friendly! I always have a pleasant conversation with them. Some of my faves include their chocolate cupcakes, carrot cake (which is gluten free!) and their biscoff cronut. I try to get something new to me every time I'm there. They have a nice large parking lot so there is typically no trouble parking and people are coming and going quite quickly. Pricing is very fair for the quality you get. This will always be my go to bakery :)

I can never say no to a bagel place, so decided to check out Terra bagels while staying nearby…read more The interior is really bright and quaint. I loved that theu have a really extensive list of bagel and cream cheese flavors. I went for breakfast one morning and grabbed an egg and cheese on an everything bagel. My only real complaint was that they don't have many veggies to add to a breakfast bagel. I had some onion added, but whe I asked for pepper got told "we have some in a shaker or packets". Not...quite the pepper I was looking for. Oh well, the sandwich was still good. Was told to bring a couple bagels home as well, so went back on my last day in town and grabbed a couple to bring home with me. The bagels had a delightful crust with a oh-so-chewy center. Just perfect. If you're looking for a great little bagel place in Grand Rapids, Terra Bagels has you covered.
