By far my favorite breakfast place in CLE! The waitress was very nice and recommended places to go in the city. Would highly recommend.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to be contrary, but after reading several of the 5 star reviews for this place, I had to step outside to check if I was in the same establishment. The only reason I gave them a 2 was because our server (when she finally showed up) tried hard to be sweet. I was a little apprehensive when we walked in and there was only two guys in the whole place, and they were drinking their lunch. We seated ourselves, because there was no one at the door and no instructions, so we didn't know what else to do. We sat in clear view of the bar so the bartender, who was the only employee visible, could see us easily. She glanced over a couple times, tinkered around behind the bar, and talked on her phone. But never acknowledged us. We decided to sit for up to 5 minutes and if nothing happened we would just leave. Finally, the establishment's sole employee wandered over with menus and water and thanked us for being patient... Really? My wife ordered a breakfast sandwich and I ordered a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese and honey. We both ordered coffee. Our food showed up quickly enough. My wife's looked and tasted pretty good. Mine showed up as a toasted bagel with honey... no cream cheese? Our server was kind enough to bring me my cream cheese when I requested it. And the bagel was okay after that. I could tell just looking at it that the coffee was going to be a real experience. It was as black as tar. And even after 3 creams, that's exactly what it tasted like... Tar. It was horrible! I don't know what to tell you. Other people seemed to like this place. Who am I to argue with their experience. All I can tell you is my experience was terrible. We're writing this place off. read more

I met up with a friend here and had brunch by the water. The location is big and bright. There's paid parking nearby with a short walk. We were able to be seated pretty quickly. The vibe is very chill inside. The sandwiches/breakfast bagels are good and filling for a decent price. read more

The sandwiches are really good here so that's still a 5/5. It's consistent and the jala-everything always hits the spot. However, every time we come here, the service here is just not good. We waited around 15 minutes to be serviced on and they were busy but it didn't look like abnormally busy. FYI, if you get mimosas, just get them individually . We got the pitcher and it just tasted like juice. I felt that I couldn't even drink a lot because it was so sweet. One can only drink so many glasses of orange juice a day. read more

Was in town for a concert. Grabbed breakfast before heading home. I've been wanting to try Cocky's since they opened. The bagels were nice and soft and good flavor. Loved the garlic aioli that came on my breakfast sandwich. Hashbrowns tasted like McDonald's but I love them so all good. Inside was decorated nice and had a nice vibe. For my daughter and I with 2 breakfast bagels, 2 Hashbrowns and a coffee and 1 mimosa was $52 with their added tip. Just a little much for me. read more

Freaking awesome. Seriously one of the best breakfast sandwiches Ive ever had. Loved the vibe of the place. It looks like it transforms into a bar type of environment at night. Service was solid and so were the sides. We ended up visiting twice while in Cleveland for a wedding. read more

This place has awesome sandwiches reasonable prices and great service.. it was a little loud but I'm getting old, definitely a fresh young vibe. read more

Okay this place is ADORABLE and tucked right in the Flats East Bank. The vibes are immaculate and the bagels are so so yummy. Whatever cream cheese is used on the bagel really enhances the flavor. The coffee is pretty average. It is seat yourself, so it takes a minute for a server to come your way. There's also a nice patio open in warmer months. read more

Very Instagramable coffee and breakfast shop in The Flats. Their menu consist of coffee, breakfast bagel sandwiches, and a few alcoholic cocktails. I highly recommend the honey lavender latte to drink. I got the wake n' bacon to eat. I would give it a 8/10. It came with garlic herb cream cheese which was a little too over powering for my liking. Service was slow, but it was a Saturday morning, so it was crowded. You can also order take out from the to go counter. read more

Ordered ahead on a Sunday morning, there was a decent line for take out when I got there. My order took a little longer than anticipated but didn't have an issue waiting. There's lots of space inside to spread out and eat or drink, and some nice patio seating. The bagel sandwiches were just fine. I've heard a lot of hype about cocky's and it just didn't meet my expectations. read more

Was visiting a friend in Cleveland for the day (on a Monday) and we were looking for a somewhat more affordable lunch option. He had been here before and recommended it. We decided to order delivery from DoorDash and it arrived in a timely manner. The bagel sandwiches here are to die for. Don't come here if you're looking to eat healthy. You come here to have a tasty and relatively greasy meal. The one I ordered was delicious. We also ordered these potatoes with buffalo dip that was the perfect appetizer to share between the two of us. Absolutely recommend this place if you're ever in Cleveland! read more

We absolutely loved this place! Downtown location is a bit strange but got there early enough that we had no issues. We were the first ones in the door as it was our last day in town and I needed to try it. Both cashier and cook were friendly too for being Memorial Day morning at 7:30am. Inside was super cute, decorated nicely and seemed like a good spot to hangout and chill. With a bar n everything too, I could be there for a while and if I lived above, I'd be there several days a week haha. The steak, egg & cheese was absolutely delicious. Plus, finally a bagel place that serves a Jalapeño cheese bagel with actual peños on top! Plus everything seeds you can't go wrong with it. It came out nice n hot too. I would be get again and again....The philly was definitely also super good too! Cheesy, beefy with some onions/peppers on an everything bagel is also solid. Not sure when I'll be back in Cleveland but whenever that is, this place will be on our list without a doubt! read more

Went to the new University Heights location this morning (Oct 30th) and god the steak' egg' and cheese bagel on their special jalapeño cheddar everything bagel and it was GLORIOUS. The sandwich was well balanced and tasty, and stayed warm on my commute so I was able to eat it at my desk. The service was wonderful, friendly, and helpful as I had never been there before. HIGHLY recommend Cockys and their bagel sandwiches. read more

We visited Cocky's on a Saturday morning expecting a laid back quick coffee and bagel stop. The restaurant was very busy with people doing shots at 10:30 in the morning. I have no problem with people having fun, but it was loud and just not what we expected. I felt bad for servers. They were running around trying to take care of business and they needed more staff. We walked in and weren't sure if we should seat ourselves. We ended up sitting and we had to alert two different people we were there. We were brought water and menus. It took another several minutes to have our order taken. When the coffee came out it was the caramel coffee which we didn't order. We were given that coffee on the house and the correct coffee can out immediately. Our orders can out very quickly and the food was tasty. I appreciated the vegan menu. They also forgot my partner's coffee. When reminded they brought it right away and that was free as well. The aesthetic of the restaurant was pleasing. There were televisions over the bar. And what appeared to be a nice outdoor seating area. This will likely be popular when the weather is nicer. Overall they were very under staffed, but the food and coffee were very good. We were not only given the free coffee drinks, but also a coupon for another visit. The staff was very friendly. read more

Sweet breakfast place with eggs and bagels all day long. Located on the east bank of The Flats, the door is on the south side of the building, facing Lindy's. Trendy, warm, and inviting with a fire place will make you feel relaxed. We went for coffee. The ginger bread and turmeric coffee were different and refreshing. Check out the online menu, take a walk along the Cuyahoga River, then sit a while. read more

I finally got to try this place and...meh? I wanted to get a real feel for the bagels and what better to do that than getting an everything bagel with lox. The bagel itself: average in taste and texture, honestly not that much of a step above some store bought ones. The lox: had very little flavor. Obviously there's the tate of smoked salmon there but it wasn't particularly strong or flavorful or anything to write home about. The schmear: I initially ordered it with regular cream cheese but then changed to try their garlic herb cream cheese. My bagel went from $13 to $15. I couldn't tell there was garlic or herbs in the cream cheese and it definitely didn't warrant a $2 jump. There's better places for bagels in Clevand. read more

I've been wanting to try Cocky's for a while now and was disappointed when I tried it for the first time. I felt like the sandwiches were a bit overpriced and the matcha latte ordered was not done well at all- matcha powder on the top layer and literally all skim milk below that. Great location and cute interior design, but not what I was expecting. read more

Service was prompt and polite but the food wasn't a standout. For a place known for bagels, they were a bit doughy and my avocado had the produce sticker mixed in on top. The turmeric latte was the best and the decor is adorable! read more

Bagels are so good and staff is so kind! Love coming here! Always puts a smile on my face :)

I visited their food truck so not actually the physical brick and mortar location. They had a food truck setup at the Mall B downtown and they were probably the most reasonably price food truck there as well. I came for the reasonable price point and ended up having an amazing breakfast sandwich. Fried egg and bacon on a everything bagel with some sriracha. They were able to make the sandwich dairy free which I greatly appreciated as well. I'll definitely be visiting Cockys again soon. read more

Cocky’s - Wake N Bacon sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

The food was just okay and the service was astronomically terrible. We had to ask them for a server, ask them for refills, ask them to pay for our food. All with the terrible service, they automatically threw a service fee charge on top of which they were not worthy. I would not recommend this terrible service to my worst enemy. read more

Cocky's has easily the best bagel sandwiches in Ohio. The Wake 'N Bacon and The Western on an everything bagel is my favorite! 10/10 recommend! read more

This place has terrible service and is awful! I went there this morning and the lady made me wait for 50 minutes, Serving everyone else and never even explained anything to me as to why my food was not ready. This is a bagel place. Should be 15 minutes tops to wait for food. 50 minutes later, no food, had to get my money back. Never ever again will I be back here. I don't t care how good it is. I don't recommend wasting people s time. So BYE! read more

We all loved it! Busy place downtown with a vibrant crowd. The service is a little slow because there's seating and a takeout line that moves slow. However, the taste was worth the wait. I had the jalapeño bagel with egg and toppings. What I love most is that you can customize by choosing your bagel to add extra flair to your sandwich. I never even thought of anything like this. This was yummy! I want one now just thinking about it. Treat yourself and go enjoy one of their sandwiches in the cute, insta worthy space. read more

Best bagel sandwich I have ever had. I wish they had a location near me! Good service - neat idea for a restaurant.

Recently sat down for brunch. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the drink options. For starters we tried the Buffalo chicken dip but it seemed like it was missing something. For my bagel I choose the Wake N Bacon and it was really good. The service was pretty good and it's a great central location in the Flats. read more

The smell alone is enough to rate it 5 stars but the overall chaos of Cockys is wonderful.

Cocky's has the best breakfast bagel sandwiches in Cleveland and I 100% stand by this! Full disclosure: I've only done takeout and delivery from this location. The inside is always bustling and full, so be prepared to be patient if you go with the intention of sitting down and dining-in. They are popular for a reason, so adjust your expectations and give the staff some grace if you're going during a prime time. When I heard Cocky's was coming to the Flats, I was OVERJOYED. Their signature location is in North Olmsted which is not close to me at all, and it always made me so sad. If you're doing takeout, you can pull right up and hop out of the car quickly because your order is always ready on time. This is particularly easy if you're with your partner or a friend as I typically am. I'm not someone who necessarily loves bagel sandwiches, but my god, the bagel sandwiches here are next level. For breakfast, the sausage party on an everything bagel has become one of those comforting things I just crave. It comes with sausage, egg, garlic herb cream cheese, and american cheese. Get it on an everything bagel. The photos of the bagels online are not beefed up to look better for social media - they really look like that in real life. Order the Sausage Party for breakfast takeout and you won't regret it! read more

The atmosphere was awesome and really unique. They do not skimp on the fillings in their bagel sandwiches and the infrequent they used were high quality. I thought the bagels themselves were solid, but nothing special, but as a whole the sandwiches were great! read more

Great breakfast before heading over for the football game. Cool atmosphere with great service.

Depending on what you're going for this is a good spot. A simple girl like myself just wants a quick bagel, so it was a bit overpriced.
