Love this place for bagels and coffee. Today I tried the turkey avocado on a toasted jalapeño bagel and it was delish. read more

The bagels here are always fresh and so yum! They have a great variety of bagel and cream cheese flavors and the staff has always been sweet! read more

Wow ... what a poor first impression! As soon as I pulled up I saw an older female employee aggressively locking up the patio furniture to prevent anyone from sitting out there. I arrived at 1:15 and they close at 2pm. Walked in and ordered a sandwich to go ... because I sure did NOT feel comfortable eating it there! As I waited for my food, the same woman proceeded to mop the floors, sweep, and break down the coffee and tea dispensers. As a person who has bar and restaurant experience on my resume, I can tell you my former managers would have blanched at the blatant disregard for customer consideration! The girl who took my order and gave me my food was polite and friendly. The sandwich was good, but certainly did not make up for the white witch and her broomstick sweeping me out the door! I will seriously consider not returning. read more

Kokobelli Bagel Cafe - Bagels Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This cafe is amazing!! Saw it on Postmates and decided to give it a try. I've now ordered it two days in a row because it's that good lol. I got the lox bagel sandwich with an everything bagel and it was so tasty! Fresh flavors and a good size portion. They give you lots of cream cheese! I also tried the cheese/fruit danish that was very delicious! It tastes homemade. You definitely need to try this place!! read more

Very disappointed with the food wasn't aware that they had changed owners food is just mediocre now nothing stands out went to get the cashew chicken salad sandwich come to find out they no longer have it you can't even get a sandwich on bread only on bagel or croissant definitely not going back I'm waste of $20 for two meals read more

Still on the hunt for a great bagel and lox, this place was next on the list. The ambiance was about what you'd expect and the staff was friendly. I grabbed a bagel with lox (served open face) and was very impressed. Great spread, great fish and tomato, but the standout by far was the bagel. Crispy and chewy and very large. I will be back for sure. I read so much on Yelp about the bacon and scallion spread that I grabbed it on a bagel to go. Was not disappointed. I also like that this seems to be a local family run spot. Always excited to support and advocate for that. One small detail that I thought was odd, apparently they were letting some of the clientele pick what was on their TV - a spot you'd usually see something like sportscenter or CNN - Someone chose a rerun of mama's family (guessing, I didn't recognize it for sure). It added a really strange vibe. Probably a one off but thought it was odd :) read more

Tried this place on a recommendation- great bagels! I love that they aren't too tough or hard they are huge too! Quite flavorful and very nice clerk and service. read more

Kokobelli Bagel Cafe - Egg and cheese made with my high maintenance requests - Bagels Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I placed an order over the phone and was told it will be ready within 10-15 minutes. I arrive at the location and paid right away. 5 customers placed and order after me and they all received there order before me. I was the only left inside, my food was ready the whole time and no one bothered to inform me. Thanks for the cold bagels and lack of communication. read more

All the recent reviews from the last month are spot on. This place is going down the gutter.. New ownership... everyone is clueless.. absolute chaos. Disrespectful and ungrateful employees and management. This place will go down just like bagel-nosh and it's just sad. Hope these people get it together! This used to be our favorite spot read more

Staff is super nice! The bagels are very fresh and the lunch deal is a great price for what you get. They have inside and outside eating areas available. I always swing by when I'm in the area! read more

Only complaint, wish they sold croissants. Would move live faster if they had order/pay online with separate prepay pickup

We have been coming here for years. They are on at least their third owner. The bagels are great. Service and accuracy is now terrible. Outside seating is locked up. The new crew hasn't gotten our order right yet. I need to revise my review. We just ordered to bagels....one toasted, one not toasted. Both came toasted. We ordered butter and a special cream cheese on the side. They brought the wrong cream cheese. Does anyone know of a good bagel shop that tries to get the orders correct? read more

We've been here multiple times and the food and service is always very good! Highly recommend!

They have really good bagels and breakfast. They are the best in the city. I highly recommend.

Love the bagels and cream cheese. Please offer bacon and scallion cream cheese on the Uber eats app. Thank you!

Kokbelli is t best! The staff is very friendly, the food is delicious and worth every penny spent!

So this place is down the street from where i live. Finally tried and it was so delicious, I got a 'Bagel Melt' and I do not regret it....I love bagels and the wheat bagel tasted so fresh and the chive cream cream was good. I will definitely be back for more breakfast and try it all. Very satisfied. read more

Great bagels! Friendly staff! Love the atmosphere and the creations are amazing! Would recommend

Came here while waiting for my oil change to be finished around the corner and this place was a win! I got the sunrise with meat and it was delicious and the bagel was a toasted onion which is so crunchy and fluffy at the same time! Yum! Not to mention the price was great especially for the size and quality (& the free little muffin you get with it) Got a fresh cup of coffee and was handed a water cup without even having to ask! Love when that happens! After realizing I had a bit of a sweet tooth I noticed their cinnamon rolls which I had warmed up and it was scrumptious! The staff was great and went well over the top! Great place to come hangout! read more

The best bagels and super service. I just keep coming back! Think I'll take a bunch of bagels home with me today. So very fresh!

We thought we'd give this a try. Eggs were like rubber, cold food and very small plates to try and maneuver food. Husband didn't even eat his food after a couple of bites. Won't be back! read more

I'm very hesitant to give this place four stars. The management here has changed multiple times. This place used to be fantastic, but when management changed, so did the food. The bagels were great, but I barely got any cream cheese. Lastly, the customer service was awful. I went here a couple times, but after constant disappointment, I started going to Bagel Nosh, which was further, but well worth the drive. Recently, Bagel Noah closed and I decided to stop into Kokobelli two weeks ago. To my surprise, the bagels were better, there was actually cream cheese on the bagel, the customer service existed, and the atmosphere had changed for the better. Today, I learned the manager of Bagel Nosh took over Kokobelli--so much better! I'm truly hesitant to give this place a good review again, since it truly depends on the management--right now, it's excellent. Unfortunately, if the management changes, I'll probably have to stick with going to New York to get a good bagel. read more

Absolutely the best bagels anywhere! Cream cheese options are awesome and all are freshly made there. I highly recommend the sandwiches too. I had a BLT on a bagel and the bacon is fabulous. The staff is really friendly and the service is great. Kokobelli is now my go to place for breakfast and lunch! read more

Will not go to again, both bagels weren't what I ordered and had to wait 30+ minutes for my food. Very unorganized and disappointing

Just to clarify, this place is NOT in Fiesta Mall like someone else stated. It's on Power Rd. and Southern in Mesa. I went back to this little bagel place after a two year absence. It had been so long mainly because if I had gone back any earlier, my husband would have killed me. His wheat & dairy allergies meant no more bagels for him, and for a die hard bagel fan, that's hard to swallow. In an act of solidarity I held out as long as possible. On a day before Christmas, I was running some errands & thought I'd pop in. The first thing I noticed was that they had changed the interior slightly. The menu was stark and ugly. They had painted deals in the window reminiscent of a fast food restaurant. I suppose everyone has to attract business and maybe I'm a snob, but I found it tacky. I got an everything bagel toasted with lox cream cheese. It came out on one of those cardboard type red and white trays, you know, cafeteria school lunch style. They used to have little plastic trays with tissue paper. The presentation was definitely nicer before. The lox cream cheese didn't have as much lox in it as I remember. While the bagel tasted the same, they clearly didn't toast it enough because it came out virtually cold. It was doughy without an ounce of warmth. I was so disappointed. One of the workers informed me they had changed owners when I inquired but all the bagels were the same. I'd suggest if you go, to ask them to double toast your bagel. Maybe that would have made mine taste better. read more

My husband and I were in Mesa running an errand and were absolutely starving. Driving along Power, we didn't see any sandwich/lunch places except for Subway, so when we saw a sign for Kokobelli Bagel Cafe, we decided to stop there. The place itself was small - maybe 7-8 tables - and decked out in some very colorful Ikea decor/accessories. At the beginning of the line, there were bins with fresh bagels sorted by flavor and some bags of day-old (and discounted) bagels. The woman who took our order and rang us up was super-friendly and reminded me of one those down-to-earth waitresses in a neighborhood diner. She took our order (3 different bagels with cream cheese and a bagel sandwich - we were hungry, ok?!) and repeated it all back. We took a seat and waited just a few minutes for our order to be prepared. Some of the highlights: -The texture of the bagels (not too dry or moist) -The cheddar bagel (not too greasy) -The spinach and artichoke cream cheese (like someone took the ubiquitous dip and successfully made it into cream cheese) Some of the not-so-great parts: -The blueberry bagel (the blueberries were fluorescent blue and tasted like the kind in blueberry muffin mix) -The honey walnut cream cheese (overwhelmingly sweet; almost tasted like frosting) -The breakfast bagel sandwich with salsa, cheese, egg, and sausage (the sausage and egg were cold and kind of flavorless) I definitely give this place props for being a local bagel shop that still makes their own bagels and cream cheese. However, some of the flavors could use some work, and fresher/more natural ingredients would probably do the trick in a lot of cases. read more

We love this place and often order takeout sandwiches and salads. The fresh made bagels, sandwiches and salads are awesome, and the prices are very reasonable. We especially would like to give a shoutout to Karina because when we went in today we had to complain about 2 previous orders which were not right when we got home. She listened and was extremely gracious and professional in her replies and promised that she would address these issues with her employees. We were very impressed and we will look forward to having much more of their delicious food again. read more

First time I came here was at the peak of snowbird season so I chalked it up to that. This is my second visit and I realize it was not. I ordered a jalapeño bagel with bacon and cheese. The bagel I got was clearly sliced with the same knife they use to chop onions all day judging by the flavor left threw the bagel and the fact that it had little purple pieces of onions randomly. The bagel itself seemed to be of the exact quality I have purchased at local grocers. The front counter girl was not friendly or welcoming in the slightest and to be put mildly was very inappropriately dressed to be working near/with food. I don't know what everyone sees in this place other than not having to personally use a toaster there is no justifiable reason to ever patronage this "cafe." read more

I use to like this place. Don't go here unless you plan on eating there. That way when they mess up your order you can have them fix it. 3 times I have ordered to go here and they messed up my lox or something else. A lox should have capers in it. I even told my husband to check the order before he left and he didn't know it was supposed to have capers. Not his fault. They even almost forgot the pickles that come with one of the meals. I think we will try Einstein Bagels next time. I really wanted to like this place. read more

Great place for bagels made fresh daily! They have a great selection of sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. My favorite is the southwest turkey. read more

It has been a few weeks and nothing has changed, in fact it has gotten worse. BUT, I HAVE FOUND AN AMAZING NEW BAGEL SPOT!!!! Bongiorno Bagels in Gilbert. read more

All of the bagels are made fresh here everyday. They are true back east style bagels. The best I've had in AZ by far! The lox bagel was amazing! Love supporting family owned places! If you love good bagels this is the place to go! read more

This is a hidden gem! Great bagels and fast service! If you see a long line, don't panic, they're good!

I had to go to get a brake inspection at the Midas on the other end of the strip mall. They said it was going to be a 30 minute wait, so I decided to head over here grab a coffee and some breakfast. I walked in and there was no one at the counter, I stood at the cash register looked at the menu. There was a pregnant girl leaning against the counter talking to another girl, Paying absolute zero attention to me. Roughly 2 minutes later, I realized that this customer wasn't going to get any service at this place and walked out. How in the world can you guys stay open with shitty customer service? I know I'll never be back and I can only hope the people that read this will pass by you and not give you any of their business. read more

Would love to buy this place. It is very inconsistent with the food, has cleanliness issues in the dining room and bathroom. I often order my sandwich on a bagel. Its 50/50 that it is made that way. Would love to get what I order and pay for. This place needs a deep cleaning and then have a cleaning schedule put together. But things are more simple than that. Today there was part of newspaper laying on the floor and one of the employees stepped over the paper to walk behind the counter. She had to actually step over the papers in order to get behind the counter. She couldn't simply bend down and pick up the papers? I would love to buy this place and fix it. read more

Amazing food! Decent service. Clean cute little place! Will definitely be coming back again . read more

This place is awesome! Great bagel selection and menu options. Ample seating inside and outside seating as well. Friendly staff and the place was quite busy for a weekend morning. You could definitely tell there were some local resident regulars there. read more

Visiting my niece here in Mesa. I'm from Long Island....so when I say this place has really good bagels and lox spread, my opinion counts about 873% more than somebody from some backwater red state like...say Idaho...where they wouldn't know a good bagel if they tripped over one. Nice place. Friendly people. Perfect on a Sunday morning. Just get me a copy of the NY Times, and a pen to do the crossword, and it's like I'm home. Only reason I know it's Arizona is that if you ask for a jalapeno bagel in NY, you'll be excommunicated and voted off the island. But you can get a pretty darn good one here at Kokobelli. read more

Great bagels, lots of variety, some days you need to get there early to have the best choice. Lots of breakfast and sandwich choices. Staff is great and helpful. They even have a breakfast scramble for the gluten free folks. This is a great place and I would highly recommend it. read more

Bagel was good. Service very poor. Several people in the kitchen working and perhaps the easiest item ordered, my iced coffee was forgotten after a 15 minute wait. Only one person working the register, no time to but in and inform them they screwed up. I just left. read more
