Delicious bagels. Soft and fresh Best bagel I've had in Houston Ordered on DoorDash read more

See all

I've had this spot on my list for quite some time but don't make it out to west u that often anymore. I finally stopped by a few weeks ago and tried a few of their bagels and schmears. I had the seasonal jalapeño pepper jack bagel, Asiago and cinnamon. For the schmears I got the cinnamon, scallion, and jalapeño. The worker told me the best way to heat it up which was to air fry it for about 5 min and it did stay nice and soft inside while slightly crispy outside. I loved the scallion cream cheese because it comes with a shallot or mild red onion that gives it a lot of flavor. The jalapeño and cinnamon were solid. Overall, this is a good bagel spot and I like how many different bagel and schmear flavors they have. A competing popular bagel spot has recently opened in Houston and luckily they aren't very close to each other. Each have pros and cons. While those bagels are better fresh Jeff's has more options, is better priced, and has no wait time. read more

Jeff's Bagel Run - Bagels Near Me - Houston, Texas

Just tried them for the first time and I don't know how I missed this place for so long. The bagels are amazing and made fresh (boiled not baked) and the cream cheeses are just as wonderful! This will be our bagel go to spot from now on! read more

Wowsa! We were in the med centre for the day from (slightly) out of town. I googled boiled bagels bc I NEED a NYC fix. And Jeff's bagels did NOT disappoint. The bagels are delicious! My husband also agreed. He said we will never go to Einstein again. It'll be worth the 90 min drive for us. Scott and James are friendly. James let us sample a few of the spreads before we committed to a few. Try the banana pudding spread. I don't even like banana pudding but it was fantastic. I also LOVED the cookies and cream spread. My hubby had the jalapeño spread. He loved it. The bagels, the spreads, and the customer service is exceptional. James is an asset and Scott is also great. I hope JEFF appreciated them bc they are really great. We will be back! read more

Wow. These bagels left me speechless! I got a variety and my favorites include the cacio e Pepe and rosemary and sea salt. I recommend both! The chew of the bagel is perfect. The crisp exterior with the soft yet slightly tough interior reminded me of New York. I took some home to use for sandwiches and meal prep. Service was friendly and prompt. Shop was clean and organized. I'll definitely return!! read more

Jeff's Bagel Run - Bagels Near Me - Houston, Texas

Why don't more people know about this place?? Literally the perfect boiled bagel. I was so excited to try the rosemary sea salt, but they were out by the time I got there which brings me to my only complaint: I vote that the "daily" specials become weekly. Give us time!! Instead of 7 rotating every day, do like 3-4 for the week so we actually have a chance to try them. Anyways/ we got a dozen to share and 6 spreads. LOL. WE CAN EAT, OKAY. My top favorite by a landslide was the jalapeño cheddar. Sooo soft, with the cheese dried on top but still soft when you bite into it. I paired it with the roasted jalapeño spread and I couldn't have been more content. The garlic bagel was good, but definitely on the harder side in comparison. The cacio e pepe surprised me as it truly embodied the flavors of a real cacio e pepe dish. The cinnamon sugar was nothing special compared to the others; just what you'd expect. That said, I paired it with the cinnamon honey butter, which was quite rich. The employees were great. Since we were sharing, they happily offered extra paper to use as plates and even labeled all of our spreads The place itself is pretty small, but I don't think they're aiming for lingering. There were maybe 3-ish tables total. read more

Jeff's Bagel Run - Dozen Bagels! - Bagels Near Me - Houston, Texas

Jeff sure knows how to make a good bagel. Located in a small strip mall, Jeff's is a modest grab and go joint with a single table inside. Service is always friendly, the line moves quickly, and each visit is accompanied by the smell of fresh bagels. Jeff's Bagels has specialty limited edition flavors daily with a good selection of everyday options, all of which can be found on the app. There are also multiple schmears, whipped butter, and even some vegan options. A small display case next to the register houses some additional desserts. There is an extensive coffee menu as well. Bagels: The texture is spot on. These bagels offer just the right amount of chew without being leathery, yet are still light and soft on the inside. The boiled skin is just the right thickness somehow, and even with the slight denseness of the dough, it springs back without staying compressed. I've tried the plain, cinnamon raisin, rosemary salt, everything, blueberry bagels and they've all had excellent texture. I would've preferred slightly more cinnamon and raisin on the cinnamon raisin, a touch less salt on the rosemary salt, and perhaps a little more blueberry on the blueberry, but those are likely just personal preferences. Schmears: I appreciate the variety of options Jeff's offers. I'm a plain cream cheese kinda person, but I've tried the vegan plain, maple brown sugar, cookies n cream, whipped butter, whipped butter cinnamon honey. The whipped butter varieties are very creamy, and overall the flavored ones tend to be on the sweeter side. The only one I actively didn't like was the vegan cream cheese; it was too salty and had a strange aftertaste, though the texture was pretty good for vegan cream cheese. My only gripe is the vendetta against toasting. I've been in multiple times when customers have inquired whether they're able to get their bagels toasted, and the response has always been "we don't toast our bagels because they're fresh and boiled." These bagels are delicious on their own, but I love freshly toasted bagels even if they're newly baked. read more

Came across town to the West U area for this bagel shop heard about online. Delish smells as soon as enter doors and this place was hopping on a Sunday am at 10am. Went with the caccio e pepe bagel since was curious about it.Inhouse boiled bagels and don't ask for them to toast because they wont.haha. Noworries .They didn't need them to be since they were perfectly cooked. Spreads were an extra $2.25 and also made in house. Will return again for the real deal! read more

My favorite bagels in Houston, hands down. I made a cute little bagel bar with them and my friends loved them!! The coffee is outstanding to go along with the bagels. Get any flavor of bagel and cream cheese, you won't be disappointed. My favorite bagel is the Rosemary salt one, so unique!! Pairs well with the chive cream cheese. The service is sometimes slow but always nice! read more

I've come by here a few times to grab breakfast for my team at work. The bagels are pricey, and the cream cheese is even more expensive (compared to what I've seen elsewhere), but that's the whole point of a treat, right? The bagel quality is solid. They clearly do their baking the same morning and you can smell bagels in the oven when you walk in, particularly the more pungent options like asiago and garlic. My problem is with the customer service. It's extremely inconsistent and you NEVER know what you're going to get. Sometimes the items are all clearly marked in little slip bags, other times you have to know what the product looks like because it's just piled into a larger bag. The worst part is, they actively try not to honor their own rewards program. Once or twice would make sense as a "mistake", but when the guy always forgets to ask you for your regards number and you have to prompt him, that's intentional. On my last visit (my largest order to date), I forgot until the order was submitted and asked to add my points after. I was told that they had to cancel out the first order and redo it. There was a line, so I came back on my lunch break. There was no apology, no thank you for coming back, any notice that their error inconvenienced me in any way. That's how I know they're intentionally avoiding honoring their own program. read more

One of my favorite bagel shops in town. Freshly made bagels are the way to go. Lots of choices, my favs being the blueberry, cacio e pepe, and jalepeno cheddar. Also what's neat is the variety of spreads, so you can really mix & match to just about satisfy any picker eaters, unless they hate bagels... They forgot a bagel once, but I just had to notify them. Get a dozen and be a hero at your office. read more

This was my first time coming here after seeing countless videos on social media hyping the place up and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the everything bagel and cinnamon sugar bagel with a side of plain cream cheese. The everything bagel had a weird after taste, so I wouldn't get it from here again. The cinnamon sugar bagel was definitely my favorite out of the 2, but the bagel looked nothing like it did on their menu so that was slightly disappointing. The best part about this place is probably their cream cheese, even if it's the plain basic flavor, you can't go wrong with it. Very limited seating, only 2-3 tables. They don't toast their bagels, which didn't bother me as I'm very particular with how toasted I like mine so I wouldn't take the risk of them over toasting or under toasting. I'll definitely be back for more spread and to try different bagels! read more

Man oh man 10/10 no wait 12/10 I just had another bagel place last weekend and was super disappointed. But this place more than made up for it and considering it was delivered (so not toasted) but it was still warm and the cream cheese was delicious. We got a variety box of bagels and cream cheese Bagel had the shine chew and texture of a proper bagel and you could tell that if you toasted it - would have been next level read more

Jeff's Bagel Run offers a bread(th) of options when it comes to authentic NY style bagels. The shop is small, but cozy, and the friendliness of the staff can't help but draw you in. I tried the Asiago bagel with jalapeño cream cheese and the Everything bagel with onion and chive cream cheese. I'm not surprised that the Asiago bagel is their recommended menu item...it's fantastic! The everything bagel was great too. In terms of cream cheese, I felt that the jalapeño flavor was a bit lacking, although the onion and chive definitely made up for it. Side note: their coffee is great too! read more

Jeff's Bagel Run - Banana Cream Latte - Bagels Near Me - Houston, Texas

Perfectly chewy, qq, pillowy soft bagels! They don't toast your bagels nor do they have breakfast sandwiches, so just a plain and simple grab and go bagel joint. I got the half dozen bagels to try their variety! *(Caccio e pepe, everything, garlic, asiago) The banana pudding spread was good, but just light in flavor. The chive and onion spread was great, fresh onion and chives permeating throughout. I did find an eyebrow hair in my bagel when I got home which is unfortunate, but no other complaints other than that. read more

Came here on the way to work in the med center and WOW reminds me of pop up bagels in NYC!! Love that you can choose between a larger tub of spread or a small individual size! I tried the banana spread and it was delicious and tasted fresh read more

I stopped by Jeff's Bagel Run early before work to pick up bagels for Administrative Professionals Day. They have so many delicious options for bagels! I ordered a dozen and a half. I have tried their jalapeño and cheddar bagel before and knew I loved that flavor but wanted to try others. The server was so kind and offered to do one of each of the flavors to try. I also purchased two savory spreads--chives and onions, and jalapeño. The bagels are fresh and delicious and it was a hit at work! I was also able to meet one of the owners and they are so very kind. Jeff's Bagel Run is in West U close to the med center. I will definitely return for more bagels. read more

Came here on a weekday around 9am and no line but people were constantly coming in and out. Since we had already eaten breakfast, I only ordered one poppy seed bagel with an onion and chive cream cheese on the side just to try. The bagel itself was quite soft and fluffy, a little more soft than expected but I still enjoyed it a lot. This is total personal, but I probably would have preferred the exterior of the bagel to have a little more "chew" to it, but I think that's because all the bagels I've ever had has a harder exterior that you have to chew through before getting to the softer interior. My entire bagel from Jeff's Bagel run was quite soft, but then again I still quite enjoyed eating it, so I really can't complain. My onion and chive cream cheese spread was delicious. Loved that they used fresh red onions and fresh chives, as I was expecting onion powder and dried chives. Overall a great place for a nice bagel on the softer side. Would love it if they also offered bagel dogs or bagel sausages (yumm). Hopefully they can expand their menu over time! read more

My favorite bagel spot in Houston period. The staff is so friendly and helpful! There were several newcomers that came through while I was there eating and the staff greeted everyone and helped them all with great enthusiasm. The featured drinks were different than the last time I was here- I tried the skinny iced caramel latte, which was very tasty- not overly sweet but still satisfied my morning craving. The Asiago everything bagel was perfection- steaming from how fresh it was and the texture was excellent, crispy cheese on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The jalapeño cream cheese paired very nicely, there were lovely chunks of jalapeño that were flavorful without being too spicy. Love this place!! read more

I had never heard or seen this place before! I was given a gift certificate and went to cash in. I got 6 bagels. They were a mixture of cinnamon sugar, cinnamon raisin, blueberry, and some others. They also offered to slice them for me. You get to pick the spread from their list of options. You can either buy 1 or get a flight of 3. The cashier offered me samples of the spread to help me choose. I wanted to take so many. They were really good. And so were the bagels! They also offered drinks like iced coffee and tea as well. read more

Not this place being around the corner from me this whole time! I was waiting on my hair appointment and noticed this place in the shopping center so I stepped in. 1st come on options! They offer a variety of bagels and spreads! They even have vegan options too! I ordered a plain bagel with vegan cinnamon spread. Excellent! What makes this even better is, it was only $2! A great price and a great product! I definitely will be back to try different bagels and their offerings. read more

Houston is severely behind in the bagel game, so it's nice to see new additions. I attempted to visit this spot previously (different location) but arrived only after they'd run out of bagels for the day. I arrived sometime around midday this go around. By this time most local shops are down to their last selections, but Jeff's was still baking fresh. Although they do not offer lox as a bagel, or lox cream cheese they do offer lox salmon as a side available for purchase, and hold a few interesting additions like the cacio i Pepe bagel. I was surprised to learn that they don't toast the bagels. I guess my face conveyed my concern, so the employee informed me that a fresh batch of bagels will be out in about 4 minutes. If I could stand to wait, one would be mine. And wait it did. When my bagel arrived it was piping hot, and incredibly fresh. Certainly one of the freshest bagels I've ever experienced! Bonus: In addition to the bagel I grabbed one of their s'mores bars and a fruity pebbles rice krispy treat. Both were divine, and super fresh! I mean, everything here is super fresh! Everything about this spot, from the lack of lox, to the no toasting policy should have created a lack luster experience, but somehow Jeff's still does it right. I'll definitely be back when I'm on this side of town. read more

We were happy to see 'Jeff's' move into the vacated 'Einstein Bros.' So we walked in, looked at the menu, then asked about salmon. The answer: no salmon spread and no smoked salmon. Neither of our bagels (hers was 'jalapeno cheese, mine was onion with onion and chive spread) had much flavor. Also, the texture of the 'bagel', is more akin to bread. I was in publishing and went to New York regularly. There is nothing of New York in Jeff's bagels. read more

Came in on a busy Sunday morning during brunch time. The line moved fast and the service was excellent. I recommend the coffee and the Everything bagel, cream cheese and smoked salmon. It was delightful The place was spacious with plenty of accessible parking. I will be returning soon. read more

Finally a fresh bagel shop in this side of town, and local! Awesome idea, it's about tiiiime ! It's in the Bellaire area but easy to spot, as it's part of a big plaza facing Bellaire Blvd. I gotta say, I really find that running away bagel logo cute. Could we call it Jeff's running bagel too? Hahah They bake their bagels throughout the day. You see their ovens heating and producing all the time. The bagel choices are displayed on this tall rack right behind the cashier. Traditional choices and one special one. I find their bagels different. Is it the crispiness of the bagel, resembling a bread ? Soft inside. Just fresh. I also appreciate the non toasting idea and spread your own cream cheese. Nowww, let's talk about the various cream cheese choices! We've got the traditional plain one, the onion and chive one, the strawberry one but cookies and cream or banana pudding or jalapeno?!?! So really, get a "flight" of 3 cream cheeseSSS for $5. Really worth it because you'll take it home and have some more at home ! Or have your big tub of one but why not have some options! They've already implemented a rewards program too! Not sure of the details but cool. Take your order home (if the bagels are still whole until then !) in this cute sized bag. You may be lucky to consume in store but space is limited. Some tables, so high chairs facing the kitchen. I gotta say, something about the baking odor isn't too desirable to stay inside too long. Not sure what it is. Be back! I'll run after that running bagel ! read more

I've been to Jeff's twice now and the bagels have been amazing both times! They are always fresh and warm and the cream cheeses for it are yummy. I've tried the everything bagel with Asiago and the jalapeño cheddar bagel. And the cream cheese is the jalapeño cream cheese. So good. The coffee is also decent they have a bunch of different flavors for coffee. This summer they've had different specials all summer. Didn't get a chance to try them but they sounded good. The banana cold brew was really good and the vanilla cinnamon coffee was also decent. The counter service and food comes out generally quick and the cashiers were nice both times. They don't have a lot of seating just a counter and then two small tables so you may or may not be able to find seating. But it's easy to get things to go. Plenty of parking. Overall I will definitely return here. read more

Soft opening to work out the kinks- went in on Wed & Fri and both times they got my order wrong Wanted an Everything bagel each time but got a non-descriptive one and the next order I got a cheese bagel- check your bag before leaving folks. The bagels are soft and chewy- they don't toast them just slice them. No lox cream cheese either! I hope they offer lox cream cheese & remedy their ordering protocols and get more tables for eating in. Ample parking in strip center. Just a few doors down from CVS. Tried to return Sat. morning but the line was out the door about 70 ft.. We ended up at the NY Deli & Coffee Shop on Hillcroft. Update - 2/9/25 I love stopping on my way to work- look fwd to their daily bagel and warm cozy goodness- they know me by my first name now read more

The line was long, but moved quickly. Recommend ordering ahead on their app. Be sure to check your order before you leave. The bagels are legit. We took them home and ate them toasted and untoasted, delicious either way. Cookies and cream - kids favorite Onion chive - I like how there are chunks of onions in the spread So grateful to have this open in the neighborhood. Don't have to drive to HBS to get our bagel fix. read more

Went today for their grand opening and it was great! I got a jalapeno cheddar bagel with roasted jalapeno spread and a banana bread oatmilk cold brew. The jalapeno cheddar bagel had a cheese crust the covered the entire top of the bagel, and as someone who loves a savory breakfast and spice, the roasted jalapeno spread paired really well together. It was the perfect combination of cheesy, creamy, and spicy and the bagel itself was soft and pillowy on the inside while still having the signature chew of a bagel. My bagel was also hot and fresh which was super nice in this cold weather. (7.5/10) The banana bread oat milk cold brew was definitely on the sweeter side. The banana flavor was very subtle with a stronger taste of cinnamon and other spices similar to a chai. It tasted like a dessert, but not necessarily banana bread, and there was no coffee flavor present. If that's something you are looking for I would recommend trying a different drink. I am not a big fan of super sweet drinks so I would try the honey lavender cold brew next time I'm back. (5/10) The staff were super friendly and the parking lot is huge so no issues there. There is a small amount of seating inside, but I would say it is more of a grab and go spot. I loved the variety of different bagels, spreads, and drinks as well as the unique flavors they had to offer. I will be back to try more! read more

This is probably the greatest place to ever get a bagel. This puts all of the other bagel restaurants/chains/places to SHAME. If you truly want a real, authentic bagel, then this place is THE place to go, hands down, 100%, I put all my money on it! No matter where you live, what part of town your from, this place welcomes anyone and everyone. How can you ever turned down a boiled bagel, and never baked? The flavored bagels are amazing, the smears are unique and impressive, I still need to try the coffee but there will definitely be a next time. Let's talk about the food verdict. Here were some of my favorites and thoughts: You gotta get these: Asiago Everything, Cacio e Pepe (if you like pepper), Cinnamon Raisin, Blueberry, Jalapeno Cheddar Bagels -Chive and Onion smear (dang that was good), Strawberry (great taste!), Whipped butter garlic and herb (woooh that was great) Had to try it, may or may not get again: Cinnamon Sugar (just not enough topping) Didn't have too much to critique, cause I will defintely be back this week. BRB while I think of some more bagels in my future. read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon before closing, and the cashier was super friendly and helpful. It was me and my friend's first time checking this place out after seeing it online, and we thought it was worth the try.

It's not too sweet but it's unconventionally good. read more

These bagels were very mid. Soft and bready, not great chew. Bagel Bob's and Hit Bagel Shop are much, much better.

No muss no fuss. Not toasted super fresh and hot bagels served with butter or cream cheese you apply. Different flavors of cream cheeses and butter. No sandwiches like pork roll, egg and cheese. But the bagels are super solid NYC style. Chewy and with a solid crust. One of the best in Houston we have tried so far. (Staten Island girl here). Coffee was also very good. Overall will be back!! read more

I am OBSESSED! I'm not a huge bagel person but I saw an Instagram ad for Jeff's Bagel Run and checked it out since it was breakfast time. I downloaded the app (loved the in app experience btw) and ordered 6 bagels, the lox box, 2 spread flights (3 vegan flavors, 3 regular), the root beer latte, and a sugar free caramel cappuccino. Everything from the customer service at pick up to the taste and packaging was perfect! Side note: I'm allergic to all dairy but my partner prefers it so it was nice that everything was labeled in detail. The vegan spreads were the best I've ever had. read more

Breakfast bagels must go! Added this to one of my new fav bagel shops that reminds me of bagels in nyc!! Their bagels are made fresh in house, and the texture is perfectly soft inside, with a soft chew. Absolutely delicious. They also have a variety of spreads. My fav spread I tried here so far is the Garlic & herb whipped butter. The cream cheese options were good, but the whipped butter made it better since it just melts and flavors the bagel so well! You can't go wrong with/ any of the bagel options, we ended up trying a few to see what we liked. But couldn't decide!! We got all of ours cut in half since you do have the option to keep it whole/cut. Honestly super great grab and go breakfast bagels yum yum!!!! They offer coffee too read more
