    Everything bagel, cream cheese, salmon, thin, red onion, and capers
    Crystal B.

    I was so excited to try this place my friend and I were craving a good bagel and Lox.. I think we should have gotten the plain bagel and had it toasted. The salmon was very salty and the capers I took some off to help tone it down and with the everything bagel it was so strong of flavor. I won't do that combo again. I really love the decor and vibe of the place very cool and there was only one guy working it was very busy and I tell you he handled it like a champ! He was attentive and spoke to each person as if they were the only one in line! I was very impressed with his work ethic!

    The specials.

    Meshuggah Bagels, 1208, W 39th St - Ray Ray, we are not in Kansas anymore! With a name and an address like that it's got to be behind Penn Station and the Garden in the city, right! Well, we are actually in Volker, Kansas City, Missouri at this beautiful, fun, relaxed and tasty Bagel place that has that " crazy" name but serves up really good bagels and coffee. Lucky for me that they are closed on Mondays only. Tired of the same old hotel food, I found this absolute gem and just enjoyed the gorgeous " Andrea" special - a perfect onion bagel with scallion cream cheese plus lived red onions.( photo). The bagel was really, really good. The cc portion was generous. It was $10.23 for the special bagel sandwich plus a large coffee. Great deal! Kenny was the sweet, sharp and very kind Manager/counter person/ chef/ guide who was so thorough and showed me and went over the menu and pointed out the specials. He handled the line at 8 am like a pro. He made my bagel Sammy. The vibe here was so relaxing and warm. Seating for 22 plus a high chair( yup they knew I was on the way!). You have all got to be Meshuggah for not getting your tukhas down here to enjoy authentic bagels and BIALYS!

    This is a great spot to pop in along 39th and get a quick breakfast, lunch, or snack. Though the place is on the smaller side, there is still seating available for a quick bite. The staff is friendly and efficient. They even have a recommendation board with all the staff's favorite items. My personal favorite is the smoked nova salmon on an everything bagel with schmear, capers, and red onions!

    Bagels were okay. Kind of tough but the GARLIC AND HERB CREAM CHEESE?! SO good. Service was quick even on a busy weekend. Ambiance is kind of homey and cozy, but tables were dirty.

    Great bagel sandwich spot! Interesting selection of drinks and the space is super cool!

    I'm still thinking about the chocolate chip bagel with Oreo cheesecake schmear I had. I am not a bagel expert, I just enjoy them. This bagel was other worldly. I would go so far as to call it the best bagel I've ever had. I live in St. Louis, and I will 100% be making this a stop when I'm in town.

    We FINALLY got to try this cute little bagel shop on our last visit to Kansas City and boy were we impressed! We wanted to try it a year ago but it happened to be closed that day so when I saw that the place we were staying at was available this time around I wanted to be sure we got bagels before we left! I was eager to wake up at a decent time to make sure we had time to enjoy our bagels and head on our way to our next adventure. My boyfriend got an poppy seed bagel with lox, capers and , an everything bagel with jalapeno smear and I got the bialy bagel with lox, capers, and tomatoes and a chocolate chip bagel with cinnamon sugar smear. We started our morning with the hearty lox and bagels we ordered first and we were completely blown away by how delicious it was! We both consider these to be the best bagels we've ever enjoyed! The bagels were a great size and they were pretty generous with their portions! I absolutely love bagels with lox and will now forever hold this place dearly in my heart anytime we happen to be in the neighborhood and would like to enjoy this lovely meal. We later enjoyed our second bagel on our drive home and though it was eaten hours later they still hit the spot!! My chocolate chip bagel with cinnamon sugar smear was the perfect amount of sweetness without feeling like I'm eating a piece of sugary cake. My boyfriend enjoyed his savory everything bagel with the bit of spice from the jalapeno smear as well. It made for a great road trip meal!! This little spot is the perfect place to pick up an easy delicious breakfast, snack, or light meal. It got pretty busy while we were there but the staff managed the amount of people and the amount of orders swimmingly. They maintained their kindness throughout our visit and were able to get our orders to us in a timely matter. I'm already looking forward to our next KC visit and to hopefully get another bagel with lox!

    I am a New Yorker who lives in the Southwest now, and I was so happy to stumble upon this place on my trip to KC! Amazing bagels and schmears, very reasonably priced, with coffee at $2.50. All in all, this place gives a cozy "hidden gem" vibe (that doesn't try too hard) with their wooden tables and low lighting. Staff were friendly and helpful with their recommendations. Would be a regular if I lived closer!

    Everything bagel

    This bagel is meh. It is mid, at best. Is it better than the reasonable facsimiles passed off as bagels at places like Einstein or Panera, yes. Is it a great, amazing bagel - no. The everything bagel I had was soft. In fact, it had a split personality. The bottom of the bagel had that more egg shell, crunch, I want the whole bagel to have. The top half was soft. Mushy. It was almost as if the bottom wanted to be that New York water boiled bagel while the top was identifying as a sourdough bagel. This is not a bagel that will evoke memories of the bagel shop across from the train station on Long Island, with the red neon "hot bagels" sign glowing, while baskets of hot, freshly baked bagels are emptied into customer's brown bags. The everything seasoning was okay. It wasn't memorable. Plain cream cheese was just plain cream cheese. There is no cream cheese anywhere that will compare to Temp Tee. I appreciate the fact the 39th Street location was Kosher. I'm not a fan of the house but as I soon discovered, that was the vibe on 39th Street. If I'm in Kansas City again, would I come back? Maybe but I wouldn't go out of my way or make an effort to.

    Genuinely the best bagel I have ever had. Fresh, delicious, was thinking about when the next time I would visit as I was eating the bagel. This place is amazing. Pictured: everything bagel with vegan cream cheese. Vegan and vegetarian friendly

    My Winner of Best Restaurant Week Meal 2026…read more I hadn't been back to Westport Cafe for a few years but now I'm kicking myself because I've been missing out! I remembered this restaurant being one of my favorites in years past . For some reason it fell off my radar. Now it's shining like a beacon of fine dining French inspired cuisine in Westport, an entertainment district known for a more casual environment. If you are looking for a special date night meal, somewhere for a girls night or just for a treat yourself dinner I would highly suggest Westport Cafe. Let's talk about this incredible restaurant week menu. First was the deconstructed crab cake (which is always on the menu) I would order this dish again and again. The way it was presented was a work of art. All the components were complex and it was fun to eat. It has such an essence of crab without the heaviness deep fried crab cakes usually have. Seafood is special here because the Trout Almondine was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. It begs to be added to the menu. The sauce was buttery and rich with nutty notes, the citrus cut through the richness so, it didn't seem heavy. The fish was cooked impeccably, I literally had no notes. They know what they're doing in that kitchen! And you know if I can rave about green beans then it was a perfectly executed dish. They had such a nice snap and vibrant green color, they were delicious dipped in that sauce. I cannot wait to go back for another solo splurge meal. This was my second dinner of the evening so I didn't make it to dessert at the restaurant but, I did take it to-go. I'm not a big dessert girl so, it wasn't very memorable however, the rest of the meal is engrained in my mind. I remember back a few years ago I used to go crazy for the muscles here so, I can't wait to sample them again. Also, just a note any menu that has rabbit on it just completes me. It's so hard to find nowadays in Kansas City and it's one of my favorite meats to indulge in. The menu rotates seasonally (as one should) so, I need to rush back in soon before the rabbit leaves. I would suggest you rush in too, I do not think you'll regret it.

    delicious! i never this place existed in Westport. visited late one night for their happy hour and…read moretried their famous steak frites. it was so good! the space is a bit tiny so this would be perfect for a date night. the staff was super friendly! also they give you a free postcard which is so cool!!
