Unbelievable. It has taken me 20 years since I left NJ to find a bagel as good as the ones I used to make at my hometown bagel shop! These bagels bring back so many memories! Crispy on the outside, soft and perfectly "fluffy" on the inside. Not too moist and not too dry. Not chewy where your jaw gets tired like from trying to eat a sponge. OMGosh, the amount of poppy and sesame seeds on each was a delight. In most places out here, you can't tell if a plain bagel got an accidental dusting of seeds or they skimp or don't know how to top them so the seeds stay on. If you have to take a drug test, don't eat a poppy, you might fail - they are loaded. Their pumpernickel too is OUTSTANDING. We will definitely be back! read more

been coming to this place for 20 years They make great product Consistent in fresh But the customer service has gone way downhill They hired a lot of young people Who are completely spaced out, have no organizational skills, and are very inefficient when it comes to handling the customer Many times I've gone in the last month. The lines are long and the service is very slow even though there are five people behind the counter. There is no designated person on the cash handling the customers orders, and designated people making the bagels. Which you would think for a bagel place is absolutely necessary to function correct correctly The fact that they have not been able to address this and it actually seems to be getting worse Is something that management is obviously dropping the ball on? read more

Great Bialy! Taylor Ham, egg, cheese w/ salt , pepper, ketchup. Just like back home in New Jersey. And.. they know how to slice it properly to make sure the filling stays on top. Highly recommend!! read more

As someone who takes bagels very seriously, finding Life's a Bagel on Yelp felt like destiny. If there's a bagel sandwich on a menu, chances are I'm ordering it. The interaction with one of the employees was a little odd, but not odd enough to distract me from the masterpiece that was my sandwich. I ordered the lunch meal, which came with a sandwich, chips, and a pickle. At around $20, I briefly questioned my life choices... until I took the first bite. The Asiago bagel was absolutely incredible--warm, crispy, cheesy, and everything a bagel should aspire to be. I loaded it up with ham, lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado, and it was so stuffed I needed both hands and a strategy to eat it. The sandwich was huge and kept me full until dinner.I'll definitely be back, because apparently I've now set the standard for what an Asiago bagel should be, and Life's a Bagel ruined all other bagels for me. ;) read more

I've heard about this place for years. I don't splurge on bagels often but if I ever do, this is where I'm coming from now on! I stopped in to pick up food for a friend who is recovering from surgery. She really wanted a corn beef sandwich and raved about this place. When I came in, I was warmly greeted right away. I took some time to look at the menu to see what else they offered. It was not a cheat meal kind of day for me. Yes they did have salads, but I already had dinner at home waiting for me, so I'll have to try something for myself another time. What I was really impressed with was the cleanliness of the place, the friendliness of the staff and all of the delightful variety of bagels and baked goods behind the counter. They also had a fresh selection of deli meats and cheeses, and of course Schmear for your bagels. The gentleman who took my order could not have been nicer. Honestly shame on me for not getting his name, but he was friendly professional, and placed my order with ease. My friend's order was boxed up and ready to go within 10 minutes. Definitely looking forward to come here and give their bagels a shot! read more

Picked up a half dozen bagels and a half pound of cream cheese for just $11--what a deal! The cream cheese was the real standout: rich, fresh, and super flavorful. The bagels were fresh and warm, but a bit on the fluffy side for my taste--I prefer a chewier New York bite. Still, they had great flavor and a nice variety to choose from. The shop is packed with bagels, spreads, salads, and baked goods, plus the service was friendly and quick. For the price and quality, I'll definitely be back. read more

Always drove past it and finally tried it. Loved the bagels from here! So fresh and rather large, can definitely be shared. Small little shop in the plaza with quick and friendly service. When I went in the morning, wasn't busy. Definitely a place for Togos so just be prepared for that. read more

No complaints. I've been here before to grab a breakfast sandwich for my kid and he enjoyed his meal. We recently took advantage of a too good to go app pick up- instead of wasting their old bagels they advertise on the too good to go app to get rid of any old food items for a small fee. In my case, I got a large cinnamon roll and 5 assorted bagels. All were delicious! read more

Decent bagel. Doesnt really compare to your average east coast spot but what can you do.

I was just near by next to Smith and I saw this place, decided to go in and give them a try. There was few people in there eating, it was around 12PM 12/3. I ordered a breakfast egg, bacon and cheese on a cheddar bagel.The staff was nice and the place was very clean. I felt welcomed when I walked in, they asked if I was ready. The food I didn't wait long at all probably 5 mins. Came wrapped in foil, was really hot and fresh. I was impressed since I only trusted Einstein. I wish I lived closer because this bagel sandwich was delicious. The egg wasn't burnt, the cheese was melted, the bagel had such good favor and butter. Perfect bagel breakfast! When I'm around that area definitely will stop in again. They also have sandwiches, soup and pastries as well and oh coffee from what I noticed. If you are in the area and like bagels, give them a try read more

The bagel sandwiches here are the best in Las Vegas. Most authentic east coast experience you can get. The service is always on point. Be prepared to wait in line as it is a popular spot and for good reason. If you like bagel sandwiches this is your place. It's also a deli but I can only speak to the bagels. read more

Life's A Bagel - Interior - Delis Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I got a cheddar bagel..toasted with butter. The outside was crisp-I mean CRISPY. Barely any discernible cheese flavor of any kind. The inside was soggy from the butter. This was not a good bagel. It was really just some boiled bread and baked. I also had a honey wheat bagel with egg and Swiss. It had some crunchiness to it and I was questioning if egg shells had made it into my sandwich. It had no taste to at all-I didn't even finish it. Things are too expensive to be bland and overdone and crunchy when there shouldn't be any crunchy at all. This was my first and last time trying this place. I did use Uber Eats to deliver it. It was very fast. My food was still warm but it was really disappointing. ***The owner manager did address my review right away. They have offered to refund me the money I spent which is good. However, the owner/manager had to check with the baker...um...I had to laugh..bagels are indeed BOILED. They should be at least so if you're not boiling your bagels then what are you doing to them?? Does your baker know what a bagel is?? read more

Been craving matzo ball soup so I decided to try this spot. The broth is really good. However, I was a bit disappointed in the matzo balls. They were heavy and dense. I enjoy them being more of a fluffy texture to soak up the broth. Again, the broth is really good with small chunks of chicken. The customer service was good. I'll return to try their sandwiches. read more

Feel like having a bagel for lunch? Then you have come to the right place! Friends had recommended Life's a Bagel for a while and have brought us bagels from them. We were in the area and finally got a chance to try them out in person. WORTH THE WAIT!!! 11:30 on a Friday morning. While there was a line at the counter to order, there was no problem getting a table (there are about 8 - some for 2 and some for 4). When your sandwich is ready, they bring the food to your table. The coffee is self serve. I ordered the ham, egg, and cheese sandwich ($7.65) with a small coffee ($4.58). My wife got the nova sandwich ($11.49) with a coffee. Each ordered on the pretzel bagel (your basic salt bagel really). Both sandwiches were really good. The Nova was huge and way more than my wife could eat in one sitting (yes, that means lunch for me the next day!) Definitely will eat there again when we are in the neighborhood. read more

The regular bagels are awesome! I just wish they did a GF bagel for my better half. Their spreads are equally delicious! read more

We tried Life's a Bagel for breakfast, but they also have deli options for lunch/dinner. They have standard bagels like everything, sesame, garlic, and onion, but they also had some interesting ones like egg, french toast, bialy, and pretzel that doesn't look like the traditional brown pretzel. I got a ham, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and my SO got a bacon, egg and cheese on a pretzel bagel. They were ready in under 5 minutes. I thought the bagel sandwich was a bit underwhelming, and the eggs were runny. Hence, 2 stars in my book. On a positive note, the staff was friendly. read more

Irresistible sandwiches and the best bagels on town. The bagels are chewy but not heavy. The sandwiches are loaded with tender meat and the bread is perfect... sliced to order. The sweet treats should not be missed. Staff is friendly, helpful and patient.. there is a lot to choose from on the menu! I'm really happy they recently extended their hours until 7pm read more

First off I was the one in the wrong by putting my order in at the wrong place on clover. However, I called numerous times to try and ask them to either cancel the order or wait to make it since I was on the other side of town. They would not answer! Horrible customer service. When I walked in -yes they had some customers but no they weren't overly busy to not answer their phone. Guy at the counter was nice when I asked for my food. Overall the bagel was good - bacon crispy, egg not over cooked and seasoned nice. read more

Life's A Bagel - Everything bagel with egg chews and bacon - Delis Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The bagels are great, spreads are delicious and bountiful. Service is a little slow because they do a good take out business also which means they're busy. Hahaha. Diner vibe though not many tables. All the coolers are marked don't open, we will get items for you, probably smart idea. Nice staff read more

Solid bagels and genuinely thoughtful service. After my toasted bagels softened and got moist in the bag, a staff member proactively noticed and replaced them with a fresh half dozen without hesitation. She sliced them and handed the new batch right over. The level of attentiveness says a lot about how this place operates. Flavor standouts: the cheddar, bialy, and egg. The veggie cream cheese is airy and fresh. read more

I was looking forward to coming here and trying out the bagels since I read somewhere it was one of the best bagel places in Vegas. It has been on my list of places to try out for a while now. So finally, I made it out to this part of town and had some time, so I made a stop here. The location is in a small plaza and is pretty basic. They have a huge selection of deli foods in addition to the bagels. But I came here specifically for a plain bagel with plain cream cheese, not toasted. The service was not bad. It was super busy and the wait in line was long, but they were doing the best they could. The lady who took my order at the counter was nice enough. She wrapped my bagel nicely and offered napkins, and she also offered a bag which I told her I didn't need. So far everything wasn't too bad at all. But most importantly, I was just excited to finally taste this long-awaited bagel! Except, it ended up being really disappointing, sadly. It was a huge letdown. The best bagels manage to strike a magical balance of crisp, chewy and full of flavor, but this was none of that. It was just like eating a dense, bready bun or something shaped like a bagel. And although I appreciated the idea behind the extreme amount of cream cheese (very generous), it was over-the-top and was just way too much. It was so much, it started making my stomach feel queasy half-way in. I ended up just tossing the second half of the bagel because it was all-in-all so disappointing. I'm not going to waste my carb reserve on something like this, that's for sure. It needs to be for something actually good! I was actually pretty surprised by all of this since I thought this was supposed to be one of the best bagel places in Vegas. It is not even close to the best bagels I've had, and I've had them all over the country, from coast to coast. If it weren't for the fact that this is literally a bagel place, I would've gone for four stars; after all, the service wasn't bad and the place was fine overall. But because it's literally called "Life's a Bagel", I had to give it an average 3 stars. If they can't make a decent bagel, they should rename the place. Was this just an off day? I'm not sure. But I'm going to try Siegel's Bagelmania next and see how it compares. read more

The service was nonexistent, this place is completely incompetent with their management skills, we waited 20 minutes in line to order food and the staff were preparing bagels like they were cooking a steak. Decided to leave and just go to Roberto's down the street. This has happened on more than one occasion. read more

Anyone who would have a complaint about the bagels at Life's a Bagel doesn't have a clue about how a quality bagel should look, taste, chew, toast, or smell. Having lived in New York for the first ten years of my life, I know when I walk into a delicatessen, it's of first-rate quality by the smell of the bagels. I have lived in New York, where the best delis are. Or, where the delicatessens used to be best. I then lived in Los Angeles, where there are more transplanted New Yorkers than Californians; therefore, almost (if not more) great delis than in New York. Life's a Bagel is a New York-style, California-quality delicatessen located in Las Vegas. The only one, and I've been to every single deli in search of the best bagels in Las Vegas. I hate to sound like a bagel snob, but Life's a Bagel is hands down the best place to get your bagel fix for hundreds of miles around. Their rugelach and mixed cream cheese (Nova cream cheese in particular) are the very best. My granddaughter loved their cookies, so they must be good. And everything is reasonably priced. What else can you ask of a delicatessen? read more

I just had to try this place, a friend of mine gave me a couple to try. I was tired of blah bagels everywhere. I arrived around 10 am, few customers were eating breakfast. I couldn't decide what variety of bagels to order, just so many to choose ftom. so I got 6 cinnamon raisin and one of each of the remaining to make up 14. The bagels are huge! I toasted the cinnamon Rasin this morning and slathered lots of butter on it. I can't even describe how outstanding the taste was. The following day all the bagels were as soft as when it was fresh. I froze all 14 of them for future use. I tried one of my favorite cookie of all times it caught my eye while looking in the case, Linzer Torte, was my choice to try. The filling was kind of gooey and the cookie itself, in my opinion, needed more sugar. By the way, they have Baily bagels which I will definitely try next time, its a Bagel with onions in the center. Id sure like to see Blueberry bagels added. This place is a keeper and as authentic as you can get. read more

If you often crave a nice bagel sandwich, it's worth checking this place out. It could be hard to miss as the sign is just as bagels, but it's pretty obvious that's what you're going in for. There's plenty of parking so it's not an issue trying to get to this place. Upon walking in, I was immediately graded as I was the only one there. The inside has a pretty stale smell and it's a bit rundown, but they have some pretty amazing sandwiches. The service was great as a lady at the counter was pretty patient with all my questions. They also have a good variety of baked goods and tubs of different types of cream cheese. I would definitely recommend getting a bagel sandwich, probably to go, but they do have seating inside. I got a pretty basic sandwich and honestly, I was pretty impressed, the bagel was fresh and the price was great. I paid about $5.50 for a simple bagel sandwich with one egg and honestly, I was not disappointed. They do also serve fresh bread and have an array of different deli meats. You can choose for your sandwich. You can always get some bagels as is and go home and make your own sandwich as well. I didn't try their baked goods, but it did look pretty good, I'll have to give it a try next time. Overall, this is a great bagel shop and prices are reasonable. I do find myself coming back here and I'm excited to try different things on their menu. My review is as follows: - Food: 4.5/5 - Service: 4.5/5 - Ambiance: 2.5/5 read more

Been coming here for a couple of years, but it seems like there was a change in ownership and things have gone downhill. I was going in there once a week, always seeing the same employee faces and chit chatting, but now it's new employees every other week, having to retrain all of them is causing chaos. The food takes longer to come out, seeing a lot more mistakes happen and you can just see the employees running around looking a bit lost. The addition of mobile orders has also dramatically added to the chaos the employees must feel. I still go here once in a while to pick up some bagel, but I do it with the expectations that it's going to take a lot longer and I have to check my order before leaving. The food it self tho, it's still pretty good. Just not worth dealing with everything else on a weekly basis. read more

This place is still rocking and rollin', bagels are always on point and so are the black and white cookies! Staff is always friendly, they talk to you like they've known you for years.

Words cannot describe how much I love this place. The bagels are as close to NY as you will get here. Always fresh always with a crisp outside and a soft interior. The Challah is the bomb.

No. Not the place to get anything that would be considered a New York bagel. Nope all day. It's a problem here in Vegas and this place is right around the corner from me so thought I'd give it a shot. I ordered a chicken salad Sammy and matzo ball soup. Soup comes with a bagel. All of it had NO flavor - not even salt or pepper flavor. Chicken salad looked good but was absolutely bland. Same with the matzo ball soup. Bland and needs to be amped up a lot. I make my own at home so I know how to season...and this is not it. Place was busy but as expected the patrons here are right from Sun City retirement - so probably why they love bland food. Oh back to the bagels- they are bread like Italian bread. Not NYC style. The only semi decent bagel in Summerlin is Bagel Nook downtown...until I find another. I def would not come back here. read more

Friendly service, and fast. Problem is, 1. if you ask if I want my bagels to go sliced and I say yes.. you should slice them. 2. I asked for my bagel sandwich to be toasted.. yeah, you should toast it. The bagels are light/soft, not chewy. More bread ish read more

Usually when me and my husband go to life's a bagel, everything is excellent. I have been sick for a couple days so I asked my husband to please bring me home some matzoh ball soup. Usually the soup is really good, but I guess don't order it in the summertime because the soup itself is not up to par. The broth was good but the vegetables and the chicken were overcooked like they've been sitting there for a long time. The vegetables are mushy or the chicken was dry. It was such a disappointment because I was looking forward to a great soup from here instead of this. read more

Don't get me wrong the food is good. I have been to this place three times. There is an older blonde lady, with glasses. When she sees me suddenly , she is busy and takes off. I have noticed she helps the white customers but when she sees me she leaves. I waited to see if I was wrong. I stayed behind and watched . She did not do this to white people. I haven't seen many POC ordering from here . I am never returning. Do better! read more
