    Lox bagel
    Hannah M.

    Really good bagel shop! The bagels are fresh, perfectly chewy on the inside with that nice crisp outside. I had the lox bagel sandwich and it was fantastic! My partner had the egg, cheese and sausage bagel. The staff is super friendly and the service is quick, even when it's busy. Great spot for breakfast or to grab something on the go--I'll definitely be back!!

    On a recent trip to the Louisville Zoo we decided to stop in to Maya Bagel Express before heading to our destination. We'd been by it a number of times and thought it was about time we try it. Maya Bagel Express is an order-at-the-counter, we'll-call-your-order-number-when-it's-ready kind of place. We took a few minutes to look over the menu and then ordered. While the menu isn't extensive, it has enough to handle your breakfast or lunch needs. My wife had a breakfast sandwich and I ordered the Roast Beef. Maya Bagel Express doesn't have a soft drink fountain but does have a very large cooler of beverages for you to chose from. Bottled water, soft drinks, energy drinks, and fruit drinks are all available. There are about a dozen tables and high-tops for dining in, as well as a few umbrella-covered tables outside. Our visit was on Memorial Day and we got lucky that the weather was amazing. The gentleman at the counter took our order and answered any question we had easily, and we had a few because it was our first visit. He helped with a recommendation and we very pleasant. Food delivery took less than ten minutes and our orders accurate and tasty. My wife's breakfast sandwich was HOT, so it had to sit for a minute. My roast beef sandwich wasn't heated, so I dug right in. My sandwich was REALLY good. I've come to appreciate the fact that Boar's Head meats, while a little pricier, are well worth the extra you pay for them. My only suggestion for the roast beef sandwich would be adding fresh onion and maybe some horseradish...but that's me. The restaurant was clean when we arrived and we saw someone come out to clean a couple tables while we were there. Our first visit to Maya Bagel Express was 100% awesome...and now we have a lunch destination before heading to the Zoo. While I'm kind of bummed that this is the only location, sometimes locally owned businesses shine well enough on their own.

    Stopped in for a quick bite, the restaurant was clean and service was quick. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese on a jalapeño cheese bagel and my partner ordered the lox sandwich also on an jalapeño and cheese bagel. My bagel was okay, I didn't taste any jalapeño in my bagel and I should have asked for it to be toasted longer. The bacon, egg and cheese were good, it just wasn't anything special, and for $11 I was expecting something tastier!

    This was a disappointing visit. Yes, I was cheerfully greeted and my order was taken quickly. But for a $20+ lunch I expected something more substantial. Sandwiches at Jason's or McAlisters offer a better product at comparable pricing. My pastrami was fine. All 2-3 slices. A thin sandwich. Served in a toasted bagel that was very good. I grabbed a bag of chips and immediately noticed they were a tad stale. Sure enough, the "Good Til" date had passed. Want a soft drink? $3.50 lets you choose from their cooler. The same bottle that'll set you back $2 and the 7-11. There's nothing inherently wrong with Maya Bagel. But there's also nothing exceptional. Other than high prices. I suspect their breakfast sandwiches are better. Hopefully offered at a lower price point. For lunch, there are far better deli's to support.

    The food and service never lack when I try Maya's! I had the turkey bacon, double egg and cheese on a spinach bagel. It was so good and filling!

    Back today and enjoyed a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich on a plain bagel. Do not skip the bacon!!!! It was crispy and they put a great layer of it on the sandwich. My husband also love his pastrami lunch sandwich on a sesame bagel. Quick, friendly service. They move the line fast and the wait at the window was minimal. Seats along the window and a few tables inside and on the patio.

    Called my order in. Only took 5 minutes. There was a decent size line at 12pm still. Limited seating inside. Wait staff pleasant. Enjoyed my grilled pastrami bagel, plain cream cheese toasted bagel, and chocolate chip muffin.

    Open early which is great because I can stop by on my way to work, staff if always friendly and the restaurant is always clean with some music going! The food is always made fresh and they'll try to make it exactly how you like it!

    Nice little spot with seating area inside and out. First time here. I heard about this place through yelper reviews. Maya Bagel Express have been in business for 2 years now. There's plenty of parking and they have several bagel selections to choose from. They also cur your bagel in 1/2 so you don't have to worry about requesting for that. Once you order it doesn't take long for them to get your order. They cook it right on the spot. I have no complaints. Everyone was nice. Food was fresh, establishment was clean, no long wait. Even though there was a line, people were moving right along. Oh and most important they have an "A". They do have a restroom. There's a private sign for people not to walk through, but the restroom door is right next to it.

It was a perfect Reuben with perfect inhouse made pitato chips on perfect toasted rye bread (from Pittsburgh) and even a perfect crisp. pickle. The corned beef was delish.

This deli hits all of the high points. Matzo ball soup? Si. Corned beef and pastrami sandwiches on rye bread? Oui. Black and white cookies? But of course. Latkes? Well, this one surprised me, because I didn't think a deli would serve latkes, but why the heck not? For good measure, there's even a signed and framed photo of Larry David hanging on the wall. This is my kind of place. The thing to get here is the corned beef with pickled cabbage. The sandwiches here are huge, but you can get half of a sandwich with chips, and it's just the right portion for a nice lunch. Along with my half corned beef sandwich, I got the matzo ball soup. That's a pretty big matzo ball hanging out there, like Seinfeld would say, but it's hanging out in a clear chicken consomme. The matzo is the size of a whiffle ball, practically. It's dense but gives way easily under the slight pressure of a spoon. It's a very satisfying and comforting soup. My children shared a grilled cheese sandwich, which they liked but were thrown off at first because the cheese they used in the sandwich was white. So if you have a kid who likes yellow/orange cheese, maybe keep that in mind. There are lots of tables inside and out, but Good Belly gets very busy, and we barely got a table. This is also a great place to get takeout, if you're not feeling like fighting the crowds.

Because it was bigger than my head (ok, maybe this is a slight exaggeration but not by much) i had to disassemble it to eat it in stages. First off were the waffle fries and I found them to be tasty, crunch and fluffy in all the right spots. Once the taters were off I cut that biggie baby in 8 'Oh My Danwich' slices. Y'all, I rarely find myself at a loss for words, even my high dollar, 10 letter ones, but I can't fill this space with all the adjectives I would want in describing this sanwich that would make you want breakfast for every meal. The sausage had that savory salty pork taste that makes you happy you're not a vegetarian with an egg slice that was fluffier than my German Shepherd's downy fur. The cheese even had a nice pull with the topper being their chive aioli. And that sandwich was just the beginning because I also ordered a Strawberry Cruffin, Bourbon Peach hand pie and a raspberry Danish to have as late night snacks. The handpie didn't do it for me. The peaches lacked flavor that I found myself asking bestie if she wanted it because I was jiat going to toss in the trash after just 2 bites. The strawberry mascarpone cream in the cruffin was silky smooth and berrylicious with the croissant being flaky and fluffy. It was almost like a sweet and savory after school snack. The kind of bakery item that keeps you coming back for more. And more. And the piece de resistance was the raspberry Danish. I've lived my 61 years learning to never turn down raspberry anything and today, my raspberry research paid off. One hundred percent tenfold. Even though the glaze drizzle was super sweet, the flaky danish offset it with that light crunch but fluffy innards. Y'all, with each bite I just fell more in love. The Danish was so good that when I came to my last bite not only was I sad that it would soon be gone but I wanted to cry. Cry y'all. Over a Danish! Yes, do it. You only live once. Order the Danwich & the Danish. You won't be sorry. You can pay me in Butchertown gift cards. Or Bourbon. Hubby's brother lives across the Ohio so, next time he goes to visit them I'm going with him. Just so I can drive over here and try their lunch items and grab more danishes. The folks were super friendly, the place both clean and quiet. Which, kinda surprised me because the food is so good I couldn't understand why there weren't lines around the block. That changed the longer we dined in as folks just started roaming in.
