You know a place is good when at 2:00 in the afternoon there is a line out the door. Being a relocated New Yorker, I am always on the hunt for a good bagel. The shop has only a few tables so it's more of a "grab and go". They had a nice variety of different types of bagels from sourdough to gluten-free. We opted for breakfast sandwiches. I got the #5 avocado egg turkey bacon cheese on an Asiago cheese bagel. It was very filling. I could only eat half. The serving portions were generous. The bagel had a nice outside chew.

Attempted to get a sandwich at the OP farmers market decided it was worth the drive to go to the store instead. It was about a 20 minute drive but well worth it. My sausage, egg and cheese, with hot honey on an everything bagel was a good mix of sweet & savory from the sausage & hot honey. The bagel ($12) was very fresh & chewy. The store is a little difficult to see from the street. It was pretty busy for a late sat morning but my sandwich was prepared in a timely manner. As far as service, nothing stood out as the cashier just took my order like every other customer.

The bagel sandwiches were great! I agree with the other reviews, the service isn't great. The cashier made us feel like we're bothering her and she did not really care about how we wanted our bagels. Overall, definitely worth it if you're in the area! We've also had their bagels at the farmers market pop up and they're pretty good if you don't mind the line.

5/5 as always! Don't let the long lines (on prime weekend times) fool you, it's worth the wait! ToGo order today, note there is a $10 minimum purchase. So speedy & love the texts when it's ready to grab. Today I repurchased the Cheddar Serrano Bagel & Scallion Schmear, one of my favorite combos. There's a little bit of kick but the cream cheese tones it down. I also got the Sourdough Poppy & Onion Bialy and Pretzel Bagels for later. Ended up eating the Bialy and wow was it chewy soft & unique with the onions in the center. Always happy when Luca Bagels is part of my morning!

#6 - nova salmon, tomato, onions, capers, cucumbers, and scallion schmear

I have been wanting to go to Luca Bagel for awhile with how good everything looks on their social media! A friend and I took advantage of the great weather and grabbed lunch here. I got a #6 on a maldon salted bagel. That sandwich had nova salmon, tomato, onion, capers, cucumbers, and scallion schmear. Top notch sandwich! The staff were friendly and had some great suggestions from their menu. At one of their suggestions, I also picked up a pumpernickel bagel with green olive schmear for the next morning's breakfast. This was also phenomenal! The space is pretty small with four tables and limited seating + some areas to stand and eat. The space was pretty crowded today (a good sign, in my opinion) so you may want to have a back-up plan if you intend to eat there. Big parking lot available so you don't need to worry about street parking.

After many mornings waiting in a massive line at the OP Farmer's Market and even several takeout orders way back when they were doing pop ups at Providence Pizza in Westport, I finally made the trip to Brookside for a bagel sandwich from the brick & mortar. As something of a breakfast sandwich connoisseur, I can confidently say Luca Bagel makes some of the best. Their bagels are fresh and chewy and well-seasoned. They really know how to generously stuff a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. All of their bagel sandwiches are fantastic, no matter what combination you choose. They can get busy on the weekend mornings, so order online to avoid having to wait extra time for your order. It's tiny inside with only a few tables and barely enough space for a line at the counter. There is a parking lot right outside the store, or there is the parking garage a block away, so plenty of parking options!

The 2 bagels I tried is the first I tried is the bacon sandwich it was 10 out of 10 and the last is the Pork Roll sandwich the jersey pork roll was so juicy and flavorful 20 out of 10 recommend of there bagel

Asiago not part of bagel.  But bagel is great

My first morning driving from overland park to brookside. I will say the customer service is best in the bagel world in KC!!!!! Heard all the hype at OP farmers market so at 7 am iff i went. No onion bagel, Which is my go to but had asiago which cheese is on too of bagel not incorporated. Came home and made bagel sandwich. Exterior is firm and crunchy and inside is soft and chewy. Great EAT!!!! Go and try it

Rosemary sour dough bagel with a scallion shmear (I didn't taste rosemary so I think this might just be their plain one?)
Grace P.

Truly delicious bagels. Got there at about 10 on a Sunday and received my bagel in about 45 minutes (waited in line for about 30 min) I ordered a rosemary bagel with scallion shmear but I think I was given just a plain sour dough bagel as I didn't see or taste rosemary. Still VERY delicious. The other bagel I got for my husband which he thoroughly enjoyed. I tried a bite (with two Serrano slices on it) and it was too spicy for me but the flavor otherwise was delicious! Staff was friendly as well

Food was amazing. Every time I come here and try something new, it tastes great. They don't skimp out on the meat/filling in the bagel sandwiches at all. The service from the employees are friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty much a local, hole-in-the-wall establishment which has its charm. Seating available indoors and outdoors. Place is always busy, but the food is ready pretty fast.

I had to come back to try their new lunch bagels and they did not disappoint. I loveeee a philly cheesesteak and this was 10/10 fantastic. I will def be back to try the reuben bagel!

I've been wanting to try Luca Bagel for a while, and it did not disappoint. I got the #2 bacon egg and cheddar with the scallion cream cheese. It was delicious, although next time I will go light on the cream cheese. It's a popular place, so the wait was a little long, but the staff were friendly and helpful. Since it was so busy and kind of a small place I can't really see myself sitting down there to catch up with friends - would definitely recommend getting to go. I'm excited to come back!

Sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel
Kaitie F.

I only had one morning for breakfast in KC, and I knew I had to try Luca Bagel after seeing videos of incredible cheese pulls on social media of the bagel sandwiches. The line was out the door when I arrived, but ordering went quickly. They texted when my order was ready, so I was able to wait in my car, which I appreciated. I ordered the #1 - Sausage, egg, and cheese with sriracha cream cheese and a hot honey drizzle on an everything bagel. Everything about this breakfast sandwich was top notch - from the quality of the sausage patty to the perfect chew of the bagel and kick of heat from the hot honey and sriracha. It was super craveable and won't leave you hungry!

I recently rediscovered the joys of a Meshuggah bagel on a Saturday morning while walking around…read moredowntown. Like the sister store on 39th Street, this Meshuggah location is tiny but full of tons of bagels. There are a couple of small tables, but it's not the place to bring a large group of friends. They have tons of bagel flavors to choose from, both savory and sweet. I love their selection of shmear, especially the seasonal or special flavors. Be patient because there is sometimes a line, and there's usually only like 2 employees behind the small counter. It's worth it for the warm toasted fresh bagel covered in shmear.

YE Gurl Says: Kansas City Just Earned Some New York Points at Meshuggah Bagels…read more Listen, I am naturally skeptical of any bagel shop outside of New York making bold claims. On their website, Meshuggah Bagels proudly declares that they've perfected their recipe to the point where "even a New Yorker would swear they were biting into a piece of home." That's a dangerous statement. As someone who has spent enough time in New York to know the difference between a bagel and a round piece of bread with aspirations, I approached with caution. What I needed was simple: a quick breakfast bite that wasn't going to turn into a full sit-down affair. Then I walked in and saw the menu. The first sign of hope? Bialys. Not many places outside New York even bother. Add smoked salmon options, pastrami nova, and a cooler stocked with old-school Dr. Brown's sodas, and suddenly my skepticism started to soften. So naturally, I ordered accordingly. And I have to admit...They got me. The bagel had the right structure. It was fresh and sturdy enough to support a generous schmear and mountain of salmon without collapsing into a soggy mess halfway through. The salmon itself was abundant. Not one of those sad situations where you're hunting through cream cheese trying to locate the seafood. Every bite delivered. And paired with a Dr. Brown's? For a brief moment, I was transported back to Brooklyn. Not fully thought. Let's not get carried away. But enough to appreciate what they were trying to accomplish. The place was absolutely packed, which is usually a good sign. We were fortunate to find a spot to sit down and enjoy everything before heading back out. YE Gurl Insight: Regional food nostalgia is hard to recreate. Most places chase authenticity through marketing. The better ones focus on execution. Meshuggah Bagels seems to understand that difference. Final Take: Fresh bagels with proper texture Excellent smoked salmon portions Bialys on the menu (a major point in their favor) Classic deli-shop feel Worth the downtown stop YE Gurl Says: If you're in Kansas City and craving a bagel experience that comes surprisingly close to scratching that New York itch, make the stop. Will it replace your favorite neighborhood bagel shop in Brooklyn? No. Will it make you forget you're in Kansas City for a few bites? Surprisingly, yes.

The space is very bright and cute - great for a visit to read or doodle (I did a little doodling of the shop during my visit). They even have a little shop area with some super cute and unique KC gear. I had a hot hazelnut latte and it was just okay, the flavor was pretty bland in my opinion and it was automatically served in a to go cup which bums me out. I like to sit and enjoy my coffee right there and love a good hot mug, it's part of the visit experience to me. The cute shop and incredible staff made my visit itself great overall, but the coffee could be leveled up a bit. Nonetheless, I would visit again :)

So the place itself was very cool and I loved the decor and ambience! However, the wait was a lot…read morelonger than I normally experience grabbing a coffee. I do appreciate the good quality though and thankfully had some time to kill. It isn't a place I would go if I was in a rush, but it great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. There wasn't a line when I went in, but there were quite a bit of people seated around. I got an iced hazelnut oat latte that tasted great. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely bring my laptop and hang out.

I also got a breakfast burrito (not gf) the second morning, which was delicious + had great heat. The coffee here was also amazing, although I opted for very basic oat milk lattes each morning. My husband got a maple tahini latte one morning + a smoked something or other on the other morning we went. My husband + son got croissants both mornings and loved them, but they also had some seriously cute rainbow donuts on display, which I was a bit shocked that my five year old passed by. The baristas were all very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated + the space was great with an open kitchen concept/plenty of seating. This seems like a great spot to work from, although they also had a wonderful (windy) rooftop to sit on also.. that looked like it had a fireplace for chillier days- so cozy. Best coffee in KC.
