I honestly didn't know what to expect coming here but there were, to me, mouth watering choices. Coming inside, there's a counter with menus and 2 kiosks to order what anyone wants. There are options on bagels on how it can be prepared along with other options to add or remove items on the bagel. The staff is friendly and them bagels... izzzzz delishhhh-shussssssss!!!!

Nervous Charlie's is some of the best bagels you'll find in North Austin. You order on a screen at…read morethe counter but the staff is usually standing by and happy to help you. They offer all classic bagels (sesame, everything, pumpernickel, plain, etc.) with several cream cheese options and bagel sandwiches too. Spring 2026 they have a seasonal dill pickle cream cheese is incredible! I wish it was a permanent option. Service was pretty quick. They brought the order to my table. The place has outdoor seating, although it's right on Lamar so you have to contend with street traffic. During the pandemic, you had to order well in advance, but now on weekdays, you can usually walk in and get your order quickly. Weekends might require a little planning for a larger order. They don't have a great coffee program. They offer light and dark roasts, no espresso drinks or decaf. But I still think they deliver a great, no-frills bagel shop.

I was so impressed by the catering experience I recently had with Rosen's Bagels to honor my…read moremother's passing. I would give it 10 stars if I could (and I'm a bit of a hardass). First, the food was EXCEPTIONAL. I've been searching for 20 years to find this level of bagel in Austin and finally found it! Amazing selection, quality, fresh, perfect. Second, the service and related compassion was outstanding. This was a large last minute order and it went off without a hitch. They also made it easy for me to pickup -- as there was actually a LONG line to order. I came in side door and they were expecting me with open arms and fresh bagels. I was also impressed with their interest and effort in helping me get everything in my car. And FINALLY, they even said goodbye with the Jewish expression "may your mother's memory by a blessing." I was blown away by this consideration. They clearly understood the difficult circumstances, and the relevant phrases that can be quite healing, etc. This felt like more than just a "food order and pickup." I will make sure other people know this when under similar circumstances. And then more generally, if you need a good bagel, cream cheese, lox, whatever -- Rosen's has now made this an easy decision.

He was really nice and welcoming, and he really wants to turn this coffee shop around. I had been here before when it was owned by someone else, and the coffee was alright then, but both Sunday and today's coffees were amazing. I ordered a gingerbread latte on Sunday, and today it was a caramel latte, and both were the right amount of sweet without it overpowering the coffee. Under the previous owners, I couldn't really taste the flavor too well, just sweet coffee. I also bought a blueberry muffin both times, and I highly recommend them. I will definitely be going back!

Even more than that, the staff is amazing. Each person was so kind and personable - made our day and felt like "home" (we are visiting from out of town). They even put up with my twin three-year-olds who were unwinding for lack of a nap today, and they made a bit of a mess on the way out. When we went to tidy things up, instead of eye rolls or frustration (which would be understandable) one of the managers gave us some fresh salsa to take home and try. Talk about understanding and kind - these people care, and it showed in each aspect of our visit today. We will be back for sure (but maybe leave the twins with a sitter next time;-). Thanks Coffee Dog!

There wasn't a long line but they consistently had customers walking in & taking out during my period eating/finishing my own egg sandwich. I got a "make your own" with egg bagel, egg, turkey, and scallion cream cheese. It was pretty good, but I wasn't blown away. I enjoyed reading the news article clipping from Dec 2018 about Austin's evolving bagel scene & its late start compared to other major cities.

He bakes all his own bread (brioche, biscuits), smokes his mushrooms, ferments his pickles, etc. We had the breakfast hash bowl, OG biscuit sandwich, and basic breakfast sandwich on brioche. All were very tasty... messy in the best way. The sweet heat sauce was bomb, and the pickles I added to my sandwich made for the perfect salty/spicy/crunchy addition. The food truck park itself is a great hangout. Chill vibes and nicely shaded. Can't wait to come back and try a fried chicken sammy.

They offer some yummy treats as well as sandwiches. You can also sign up for their reward program and earn points every time you come in. There is music on Saturdays and just a great meet up spot. The down side is the seating, backless stools are not the most comfortable. I saw someone on crutches that had a hard time getting up on one. Maybe it is to stop people from staying all day and working? I am not sure. There used to be a couch in there and that was nice to just sit and visit. There is also an outdoor area with picnic tables and chairs outside at tables (with backs on them!) They roast their own beans and every time I have had a coffee it was perfect. The location is a little weird, wish there was one in town but, worth it for sure!

I adore this charming little spot, with its inviting atmosphere that's perfect for lingering over a cup or simply soaking up the laid-back vibe. Fellow coffee lovers, you're in for a treat! The coffee is exceptional, and the sandwiches look absolutely divine. If you get a chance to swing by and sample their expertly crafted hot or cold brews, I highly recommend it - you'll be uplifted and inspired!!

They're the first local bagel to grace my table since they're available at Wheatsville a la carte for mere pocket change. These plump rings sport an elegantly lacquered finish with a topping that tends to skew heavier on sesame seeds, enhancing the nutty, toasted flavor. Maybe that's why I find them more compelling once split and toasted than simply warmed. Bulk bin grocery store bagels have questionable quality, even if they're locally made, so always go to their walk-up window for the best, freshest batches.
