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!!!!

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 got a rosemary bagel w/ butter and veggie schmear the whole thing was super satisfying and filled with cream cheese! I saved half for the next day since it was so filling.

If it wasn't enough to get a dozen delivered straight to your door, they now have three (soon to be four) brick-and-mortar locations that are perpetually buzzing with hungry carbivores. Founder Tom Rosen has a simple formula for success, and is simply doing it right. The dough goes through a 48 hour fermenting and rising process to develop complex flavors, enhanced by the traditional addition of subtly sweet malt powder. Best of all, the everything bagels are double-seeded, tossed in the signature seasoning mixture on both sides to ensure no bald spots. Top and bottom halves are full coated for a serious flavor punch.

I've supported this local coffee shop for a long time, back when it was owned by Christiana and run…read moreby truly fabulous employees like Nikki, Justice, and Mariah. During that time, Coffee Dog was reliable, welcoming, and worth recommending. Unfortunately, under new ownership, that is no longer the case. This morning was the final straw. I placed my order and waited over 30 minutes, only to receive absolutely nothing. After my order was taken, I reasonably assumed it was being prepared. Instead, a different employee later came to the window and asked what I had ordered as if no record or communication existed at all. At that point, I asked for a refund. What followed was a frustrating and unnecessary ordeal. The so-called manager came to the window and began explaining how long a sandwich takes to make despite the fact that I did not order a sandwich. The manager clearly did not understand the situation, continued wasting my time, and failed to listen after I had already made it clear that I just wanted a refund since my order was never made. Even processing the refund became a struggle. This is not an isolated incident. On several prior visits, they've been under-supplied, out of basic items, or dealing with non-functioning machines issues that are frankly unacceptable for a business that calls itself a coffee shop. The lack of organization and accountability is astounding. One of our clients regularly purchased gift cards from Coffee Dog for us, but after this experience, I will be telling him not to return. Mr. Hodges, save your money this place is no longer worth it. It's incredibly sad to see how far this business has fallen. I supported Coffee Dog for the longest time, but I am officially done. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending this place to anyone. Future customers should be aware: this business is not the same under new ownership.

The walls look like they have never been washed or repainted, the area underneath the snack bar is scuffed up from shoes hitting the wall, the countertop edges by the register are chipped and dirty, and the place could use a good cleaning. If the area for the customers isn't clean, I'm concerned what the kitchen looks like.

The Not So Good: I didn't really get any of the "sweet" in the sweet & spicy sauce. The Ugly: I ordered the bowl and was excited to dig in 'cause it looked delish but was disappointed with how salty everything tasted. I realize saltiness is subjective but I could not get through half of my order. Ended up taking home in hopes that I could find a way to reduce the salty taste.

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.

After a morning filled with calls, I asked Melody, the manager, for their strongest cold brew, and she generously hooked me up with a potent cup of liquid energy masquerading as coffee!! Since then, I've become a loyal regular, drawn back time and again by the magic of this hidden gem. 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.

It was good, although it was very messy. They charge an extra 50 cents for cream cheese, which seems excessive. The breakfast bagel sandwich without cream cheese ended up being $9.20. It was about a 15 minute wait. I didn't see anyone in line ahead of me, but I assume they were making online orders. They are located in a dilapidated-looking apartment parking lot, where the signs all say that parking is for residents only. I parked in one of those spots, but I kept worrying that my car was going to be towed when I turned away for a few seconds.
