    Bagels were delicious and sandwiches were pretty good with a variety of cream cheeses and flavors to choose from, inside is pretty small but they have outdoor seating and a nice backyard area as well.

    We were really excited to try this spot after seeing it be so hyped up by a lot of people across different platforms, unfortunately it was just okay! It wasn't bad by no means but also didn't blow it out the park. We ordered bacon egg and cheeses on sesame bagels since those were the only ones left. I think maybe another 30-50 people came in after us, and considering it was a Sunday and a popular brunch time for most people in Miami, I thought they'd have more variety available, especially of more popular bagels like everything or plain. Regardless, the sesame ones were good. The fillings were okay, I expected the cheese to be cheddar or an American, but this seemed like a Kraft single. The eggs were also not scrambled or fried but an in between. The bacon was good and crispy. What we did really enjoy was their watermelon refresher or breezer, it was so yummy and refreshing, with a nice lime flavor, a nice balance between sweet and sour/acidic. Service was good and the staff was very nice! There isn't much seating available but the inside has a couple of stools and has a really cool ambiance. Happy to try again sometime and give it another chance, I think it may just have been a closing shift lol.

    El Bagel is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Coconut Grove. My go-to order is the King Guava--the sweet and salty combo is perfect, and the freshly made potato stix take it over the top. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and worth the hype. If you're looking for a great breakfast sandwich, this is the place.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    first time trying El Bagel ( i'm late I know) it did not disappoint, definitely the best bagels I've had in Fl.

    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.

    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.

    Waiting spot outside. Tiny bagel shop warning

    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.

    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.

The empanadas were baked to perfection. Crispy on the outside, flavorful, and you can tell they're made fresh that same day. For my main entrée, I ordered the skirt steak, and WOW. Not only was it perfectly seasoned, but you can truly tell they know how to select quality cuts of meat. Our waiter was also incredible and took the time to walk us through the menu, explain the dishes, and make sure we knew exactly what to order. That personal touch really made the experience even better! Everything about this place gave me a little taste of home, and I absolutely loved it!

The food was fantastic as always, and the sangria was delicious and tasted genuinely authentic. A special shoutout to our waiter, Eduardo, who was wonderful. He and my dad instantly bonded over being Costa Rican, and it made the experience feel even more welcoming and personal. The only disappointment was dessert. The pavlova sounded much more exciting than it actually was. It was overwhelmingly sweet, and everything on the plate (the vanilla ice cream, vanilla pavlova, and vanilla whipped cream) had nearly the same flavor, color, and texture. It ended up feeling very one-note and lacked the contrast and freshness that makes a great pavlova memorable. Overall, I'll keep coming back again and again. The food is excellent, the service is warm, and it's just as perfect for watching a match as it is for a great meal. Skip the pavlova, but absolutely don't skip this place.

The space itself was small but clean. When my husband and I walked in, there were no other customers. The young lady behind the register was looking down at her phone and didn't greet/acknowledge us when we came in. Even once we were standing in front of the register, my husband said hello first, she looked up but still didn't greet us, just slightly grinned and waited for us to start ordering. When we did order we had to repeat ourselves three times because nothing was being written or entered as we ordered. I thought maybe she was new or this was one of her first jobs, but the whole interaction felt very disconnected. I ordered one of the egg sandwiches. The bread was fresh and had a slight sweetness that I actually liked, but overall it was not anything I'd order again. My husband ordered the 6PM in Tuscany, which was around $26. Unfortunately, his sandwich was missing several of the listed ingredients. We hadn't requested any modifications, so after tasting it, we actually checked the menu again because something seemed off. The chicken cutlet had no crunch, the sandwich was bland, and was just missing so much he didn't even finish it. I really wanted to love this place because of all the great reviews I had seen. Maybe we caught the Coral Gables location on an off day, but between the service and the food not matching what was listed on the menu, this visit was unfortunately a disappointment. I genuinely wish Jholano's well, but based on the experience we had a couple of Sundays ago, I wont be rushing back.
