Lox on a chewy, fresh bagel -- it doesn't get much better!…read more My husband and I stopped into Maya Bagel Express recently and we were so impressed by this spot. I have gotten delivery from Maya before, but I'm glad I've also now been able to visit in person. The menu is clearly laid out with several bagel sandwich options, for breakfast and lunch. And like I said I went with the lox option. You can choose your type of bagel from the case. We ordered and had our bag to-go within a couple of minutes. Oh, we were also able to get an Ale8, a favorite. This spot is close to his work, and we've already talked about making this a regular lunch spot.

My favorite combo is the pastrami lox on everything with chive schmear. I've also tried the Zaydie. It was delish, but had just a little too much egg on it for my tastes. If you like horseradish, try their red horseradish schmear. The horseradish is subtle at first, but kicks in after a few bites. It's located in the new Mashup Food Hall. Staff is super friendly and service is always quick. I just wish they were open later so I could get them for dinner :)

On my recent trip to Mashup, I got the Classic Lox & Bagel, on an everything bagel with a plain schmear. The lox was great quality, and this more than hit the spot. This sandwich is comfort lunch food for me. I also love that Cold Smoke has Dr. Brown's sodas. I got the cream soda, though maybe someday soon I'll be brave enough to try the celery soda. The owner was also there when we were and chatted us up a bit. It's clear he has pride in his business. I'll definitely be back!

They make their bagels and cream cheese in house in addition to other pastries. The best part of this experience was the cream cheese spreads. Super rich and flavorful with a great bite. The lox quality was very good as well and all the veggies were fresh. The egg was overcooked unfortunately and the bagel itself was just ok; no better than a chain bagel shop. I was expecting a better texture from homemade bagels. The staff and atmosphere were pleasant, so overall a good experience.

They have fresh cookies, and we split an oatmeal cream pie cookie and It was the best we've had! Perfectly seasoned, and the salt balances the sweetness really well - even better than the little Debbie oatmeal cream pies "by a mile" according to my husband! We didn't try their coffee as it was a little later in the day and they don't have decaf.

The establishment looked very clean and they do have some outdoor seating. The end.

Want to go for breakfast? Nope Want to go for dinner? Nope I just drove there only to see a hand scribbled note taped to door saying - not open. The tiny window of (maybe open) operations is not worth the trouble.

If you visit Louisville and don't stop here for a bite to eat, I feel sorry for your taste buds and…read morebelly. All of the reviews about the Danwich are TRUE! True people! 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. I said to my friend that the Louisville folk must get started late in the day.

No one has ever liked what they've gotten there." Great question. Everything my coworkers and I have gotten has been underwhelming. The cookies haven't had much flavor and all of the sandwiches we've gotten have been dry and tasteless. One reviewer said it reminded them of packed lunches when they were a kid, and I agree: standard bread with some plain lunch meat. Also the staff hasn't been overly friendly, which is something small businesses usually excel in.
