Let me start this review by saying I am a big bagel fan. That said, having tried quite a few bagels is why I am only giving this a four out of five star. If you are not like this, you might think this place was a five out of five. Living in Miami, everybody knows about El bagel, from word-of-mouth to billboards. This was my first time trying. Our order consisted of one poppyseed bagel with veggie cream cheese and the BEC. THE BEC bagel was a solid choice and you got what you would expect. We ordered this on a garlic bagel, would have liked it to be a little stronger garlic taste. Other than that, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the bacon was very crispy. They had a great ratio for bacon to egg, every bite had all elements. I think adding a cream cheese of some sort would help this become next level. The poppyseed bagel was black on the outside with how many pop seats were on it, definitely strong flavor there. Veggie cream cheese was good, not the best I've had but a good choice to add flavor. It was very busy as to be expected on a Sunday morning, but took only maybe 10 minutes to get our bagels which I thought was impressive. I've been to bagel shops that you can easily wait 45 minutes at the same level of busyness. Not a very big sitting area, most people were waiting for their orders outside, which was fine because they had a microphone to announce your name. There is public seating right across the street though so that really isn't an issue. Overall, I might come back as there aren't very many homemade bagel options in Miami, but I think I would rather take a drive up to Fort Lauderdale as they have some solid spots there.
I am El Bagel's number one fan, and this was my first time trying the coconut grove location. Initially, I tried doing an online order so it would be ready by the time I arrived, but for some reason this location doesn't let you do this. I was pretty nervous when I realized this cause the other location is like an hour wait for your food. Upon arrival, I saw a line formed outside so my friend dropped me off to get in line while she found a parking spot. Turns out, there was only a line outside because it's so small inside the restaurant that only 5 people max can fit lol. The line went super fast, so I ended up having to call my friend to ask her order. The workers were super kind and helpful. I will say the menu doesn't list all available options, so if you don't know what they offer you're sort of limiting your options. That's why I like ordering online they give you all the available options to choose from and modifications you can add. I put my order in and they told me it would be about 10-15 minutes which was very accurate. They have benches outside to sit on and wait with a covered awning to protect you from the sun/rain. They use a mega phone to yell out your name when your order is ready and there's an outdoor pickup window. They also have condiments and stuff like that on a cart outside as well. The bagel was delicious as always. I will say the hash brown tasted different than previously, but it was still delicious. I got the BEC everything bagel, toasted, with cream cheese and hashbrown added. 10/10.
I am always so impressed with El Bagel and their entire operation! The shop is small, but they are very efficient and have a great set up to keep the long line moving quickly. All of the staff are very friendly as well. Everything on the menu is delicious, and they have gluten free bagels. A CG favorite!
El Bagel, perfect moniker for a Miami bagel shoppe! A short stroll from our hotel overlooking Dinner Key Marina, we scoped it out the day before as we knew we'd have to grab a couple before we headed back to North FL. We read these were homemade - boy you can tell that they are! I got the Lox Supreme on pumpernickel (of course). Perfect blend and amounts of cream cheese, (lox thinly sliced but layered- much better than thick pieces you find elsewhere) the red onion was pleasantly pickled (my new preference) & cucumbers were also shaved and seemed to may be slightly pickled -not sure but delish! Oh and the correct amount of capers evenly distributed. One of the best I've had. My husband ordered the BEC also a perfect blend and ratio of each, eggs fluffy, bacon crispy, cheese melty! He devoured his! We were able to sit at the small 6 seat counter bar inside. Busy but quick and efficient! A "be back" when in the Grove.
Yum yum yum. I can't believe I only recently tried El Bagel - especially after hearing all the hype around it! I opted for a salt bagel with herb cream cheese - and yum, yum, yum. When a bagel is fresh and chewy enough, it truly doesn't need any toasting to be good. I also tried their drink special which was some sort of watermelon juice concoction - so refreshing on a hot Miami day! My husband opted for one of their breakfast sandwiches and seemed to enjoy it.
As usual the tiny hole in the wall places tend to have quality food. El Bagel is no different. It is a tiny establishment tucked in next to the Coconut Grove parking garage on Virginia Street. There are 4 stools against the back wall for bar seating and some bench type seats outside. Guys the line to this place is normally well out the door, but we got lucky today was Passover and there was a nearby Farmer's Market so we ordered and got our food very quickly, but be prepared to wait a little normally, but wait because it's worth it! Ordered from the counter and the staff couldn't have been nicer, all smiles and pleasant attitudes. We waited by the window with bated breath for our name to be called so we could dig in! Bf got the SEC (sausage, egg, and cheese on a plain toasted bagel) and I got the BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese also on a plain toasted bagel). These were huge, cheesy af, and so good (a tad messy, but again totally worth it). I also had an iced hibiscus tea which was refreshing for our walk back home. This was worth the hype, I'll definitely be back again! Very soon!
My mom is in town and was jonesing for a good bagel. I read the good reviews for El Bagel and decided to give it a try. The locale itself is very small. They have a counter to order from and a counter against the window with 3-4 stools to sit and dine. They also seem to have some basic seating outside (think wooden boxes/benches and a couple of umbrellas). We weren't able to sit outside because it was pouring but I'm sure on a sunny day it would have been suitable seating to enjoy a meal. They have tap water outside served in a cooler which is also a very nice touch given the weather here. They sell drip coffee which wasn't my favorite and of course bagels and bagel sandwiches. I really enjoyed the BLT. I was able to substitute the (B)acon for egg which was nice. The sandwich was large and the bagel was really good. My mom also agreed that they serve good quality bagels.
Gluten free for me!!! Wow the gluten-free everything bagel was absolutely delicious and very soft compared to most gluten-free breads I've had. I paired it with the lox and it was very delicious! The iced latte with almond milk was also a good size portion and decided to bring home the BEC on plain bagel. Also a good choice. Be aware it is a small location. They have signs posted to order inside and then wait outdoors and they will call you from a little window when your order is ready.
Good bagels in Miami are surprisingly hard to come by. El Bagel is El spot for a solid bite in coconut grove. You can tell just from the softness inside and the flavorful toppings on the outside that they are made fresh every day. And the cream cheeses are always superb as well. Don't be surprised if you're waiting in line on a weekend morning though. This place is popular and for good reason. Fast casual and with ample extras to make each bagel your very own. Pro tip do not toast the bagels. Eat them fresh and with a generous amount of cream cheese.
We went on mother's day, which turned out to be not that busy amazingly. We were able to get our orders pretty quickly. The bagel was delish - EC (egg & cheese) on a jalapeno cheddar bagel. The "jalapeno" is only two little slices put on top of the bagel btw. The cold brew coffee though was not good at all. Super watery and no flavor. Not worth getting here. I would definitely have another bagel though, but is it worth the normal line they have and baking in the sun waiting probably not.
Today I decided to pop in after a workout. I ordered the lox bagel and the whitefish bagel. They were both tasty but not my favorite bagel I've ever had. The bagels do taste fresh but they are on the thinner side (I am from NJ, so this may just be personal preference). They had a unique rosemary salt bagel that is probably best paired with some cream cheese. They also did not have a ton of flavor despite there being a generous amount of seeds on the bagels. The fillings were also good and fresh but a bit underwhelming all together. They were pretty fast with the service and there's a pretty good amount of seating outside. It's a pretty small place and the inside has a pretty fried smell so I wouldn't eat inside, but the outside tables looked nice and clean. Overall, a nice place to make a stop for a bagel.
I really liked this bagel shop. It is a small place, and they don't have a huge menu. But what they do have seems to have that local Miami resident flare to it. What they make is interesting and delicious. Plus one or two classic bagels mixed in too. I tried the King Guava, and it was super yummy. The guava flavor really came through, and the cream cheese paired really well with it. I will say the egg was kind of hard to detect, but the potato crisps had the best crunch. The bagel itself also had a really good chew to it. I can't attest to how it would stack up to a New York style bagel, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. The price point for this place is a pretty decent. And the bagel itself is a pretty filling breakfast. I will definitely be coming back here to get my bagel fix. Also important to note, I have at times seen a long line here, but when I came in right when they opened on Monday morning, there weren't that many people there and it only took 10 min to order and get our order. But I can see how this would change if it was really busy read more

Very efficient & friendly. Definitely don't scrimp on toppings.. Order inside, pick up outside window. Reasonable price. Got there a little after 9 on a Saturday, no line. Get extra napkins if taking your order to go for a picnic. read more

As a New Yorker from Staten Island you can't normally convince me to eat bagels elsewhere. This has been on my list of to dos so finally hit up the location in coconut grove. There was a place to walk up and place your order and they take about 10 minutes to get it together. My husband ordered a mid snack bagel, daughter everything with plain and me an egg and cheese with everything. The EC was great and a really good bagel, probably the best bagel I've had in Miami. I give it a solid 4.5 because I'll have to try another to give it a higher rating. My husband wasn't crazy about his lox My daughter loved her everything bagel I'm gonna have to drop by more often for a quick breakfast read more

I was craving a delicious bagel for breakfast this morning and opted for El Bagel. I went to the location at coconut grove and there was a big line but luckily it goes by fast. I now understand the hype on this place. My lox bagel was delicious and I paired it with iced matcha. The restaurant is quite small and not much room, it be looks clean and organized. They have couple bar stool if you decide to dine in. Definitely worth it, if you want a delicious bagel sandwich. read more

This is my second time at el bagel and the bagels hit every time!! Mind you, you will wait in line every time and you are going to spend $10-$15 per bagel but man are they worth it for a good bagel. Ambiance is very much so that you order and take it to go. Small hole in the wall type of spot but worth the hype. Food - I got the P.E.C - pastrami egg and cheese on a plain white bagel. Fire! Very juicy, a good amount of meat, and lots of flavor. Worth it read more

I had the bacon, egg and cheese everything bagel sandwich and it was amazing! The bagel was sooo good. I had it toasted and they put it together. The juices looked good. I didn't try them. It was across the street from the hotel I stayed at. read more

My favorite bagel spot in Miami! I always get the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel -- it's delicious. The jalapeño and cheese bagel is also really good. Just make sure to come early on weekends because they sometimes sell out! read more

I have been wanting to try el bagel for years but I was just never willing to make the trek to north Miami. Needless to say, I was thrilled when they finally opened their coconut Grove location. Full disclaimer, I have not physically been in their brick and mortar store, but I did order from DoorDash and suffice it to say I was not disappointed. Their lox supreme bagel is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had and their BEC comes in a close second. I will absolutely be making my way to try all of their offerings. read more

This tiny little bagel shop pumps out fresh delicious bagels! I had a rosemary sea salt bagel with garlic chive schmear. Great combo. I hadn't realized before going that they had only 4 seats inside, so thankfully nobody was sitting when we arrived, as I was with my 3 year old and needed a place to sit with him. I'll definitely go back, but knowing that it'll be for takeout. read more

I love a good bagel. While in Miami I found this bagel shop. It's a tiny shop. You order your bagel at the counter then wait outside. I ordered the lox bagel with an everything bagel. It was good, but a bit heavy on the cream cheese for my taste. The lox was very fresh with nice smoked flavor. I think maybe I should have gotten a BEC instead. I'll try that next time. read more

I love El Bagel. There is nothing about the immaculate vibes, the carbs, the schmear, and the coffee that I do not adore. Welcome to Coconut Grove, El Bagel, we are so happy to have you! This location is located on the side of Coco Walk and is on the smaller side. The second location of our beloved El Bagel is everything we hoped it would be. They offer the same fresh bagels and some different offerings like a pastrami egg and cheese (which I must try). Do not sleep on the coffee here, as it is one of my fae cold brews in the city. Service is always friendly here. Different from their OG location where you have the option to pre-order online, you have to order in person here. The shop has some seating that is bar style but you can grab your food to go and enjoy on the tables at Coco Walk. The grove is so lucky to have you, El Bagel. read more
I'm thrilled there's now an El Bagel in this area! Don't let the line outside fool you, it goes quickly. It's a tiny spot with a windowside counter inside, but most people grab their orders to go. I was in and out in about 15 mins. I ordered a king guava bagel for my fiancé, lox bagel for myself, and two iced vanilla lattes. I'm a bit of a lox connoisseur and would rate this an 8/10. It was heavy on the cream cheese and could have used some dill. Maps might direct you to go through CocoWalk but it's right on Virginia St right across from Ling Chow Salon and the Mayfair. read more
I'm not sure why everyone hypes this place up. The bagels are just your average tasting bagel. Sure they are good but waiting an hour for an average tasting bagel is insane. I got the BEC with everything bagel and the everything seasoning was lacking. Not really any service provided other than them handing you the bag but of course they'd expect you to tip them 20% for that. The space itself is tiny so you'll order inside and then have to stand outside waiting for your order. There is sitting outside so that is nice. Overall I think this is an average but overhyped miami bagel spot. This is a one and done visit for me read more
