    Had some time to kill and wanted a delicious bagel sandwhich so stopped into this chain. I had a basic breakfast bagel with sausage, egg and cheese on a jalapeno cheddar bagel. It was tasty. Nothing spectacular but still good. The egg part is kinda weird and tastes a bit spongy and fake but the deliciousness of the jalapeno cheddar bagel made up for it. I also tried a white chocolate mocha and got the big one because the girl at the counter said it has 4 shots of espresso in it. I'm not sure about that because it did not give me that much of a buzz. The taste was just okay, not great. I would not order coffee there again. Overall okay experience.

    Who called these the best bagels in Oklahoma and who said they were old school? When you do a hand rolled, boiled bagel, the outer shell has a glossy, egg shell texture. In this case, the outer shell of the bagel is soft. The flavor is okay but if you take a plain bagel and just eat it as is, it doesn't have that specific flavor that a true NY bagel has. Toppings are sparse. There is nothing wrong with these bagels. They beat buying them at a grocery store or Dunkin Donuts. If you are in OKC and want a bagel, they will suffice. I wouldn't declare these the best in Oklahoma. There are a couple of places in Tulsa that are better. I would actually drive for that bagel.

    Torn between 3-4. My son and I both agreed on the 3 for this reason...... everything is premade and slapped into a microwave.......I think there are 6 of those.....A foodie/junkie wants some cooked fresh food..... The bagels mine you were good... I had the breakfast. Has ham egg and cheese but slap in that microwave and it gets a greasiness...... workers super friendly and I do love a strong Nicaraguan coffee.....

    Great selection

    Bagel was hard to enjoy because I prefer to put butter on my bagel and they only had margarine. GROSS! Coffee was good. Clean environment. Probably would not go back because of the margarine and butter situation. Even Panera has REAL butter...

    I've always loved Bagel Cafe. It's long been a favorite of my family and friends. However, my experience today was beyond disappointing. Not only was my entire order incorrect (ordered 5 bagels), but my food was inedible because the bagels were burned so bad. I didn't even want my bagel toasted to begin with! See attached pictures. The staff at the time were incredibly young and incompetent. I could barely understand the boy who answered the phone. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone with the current staff. When I went to pick up my order, there was a customer yelling at one of employees for messing up his order. Another lady complained that she had been waiting on a bagel for 1 for over 30 minutes. I hope the Bagel Cafe I love takes the time to evaluate their employees and do better.

    Best bagels in Oklahoma. With numerous locations available, there should be one near you. The bagels are made fresh daily and there is an array of tasty cream cheese options to accompany them. They also have a great lunch menu filled with sandwiches. Hands down my favorite bagels are the Everything and the Asiago Cheese. Gently warmed they are absolutely delicious plain, toasted or with cream cheese. The Cowboy Club is our family favorite for lunch. Stop by and give it a try.

    Toasted everything bagel with cream cheese?

    What in the hell did I pay for? the picture might cause confusion because I ordered a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese.... Left with this. I suppose I will chalk this up to a donation and will never return.

    Haven't been to this location in years. The remodel is fun. Very open. Cute seating areas by the fireplace. Workers were nice and helpful. Wish there was Saturday football on the TVs instead of the Roku fish tank. Employees said that's all they are allowed to show

    The smallest thinnest non looking and feeling (can't wait to eat ) bagel. This picture is too good to even express how trash it tasted.

We were told we could not eat because we did not have reservations. We asked if we could possibly take a bar top or outside the waitress said no. This time we had a reservation and arrived 30 mins early when we got there we gave them our name and the waitress said it would be 45 mins. We asked if we could possibly get seated early since we were there (9:30 am) without looking at the schedule or the room she replied "No 45 mins". We turned and left. We had not been gone 10 mins and got a text saying our table was ready. I canceled the reservation. We ate at one of the hotels downtown and it was lovely. I did book this reservation a day early. Will not be booking again. Very disappointed.

The interior is comfortable, charming and a bit whimsical. We started with an order of cheese sticks. They were very good and large. I liked that the cheese sticks did not have Italian seasoning in the breading. Jan ordered the chicken fried ribeye with mashed potatoes, cream gravey and green beans. Jan loved it. I took a bite of the chicken fried steak and it was excellent. The green beans were very good. They were loaded with garlic, which I love, but if you're not a garlic fan, I would suggest another side. I ordered the grilled chicked sandwich with waffle fries.

I ordered pancakes 3 ways - creme brûlée, blueberry with lemon & a pig in a blanket along with 2 scrambled eggs & the candied bacon Hubs got the breakfast tacos, side of bacon and an Irish coffee Candied bacon came out with the Irish coffee quick - both were so good!

The tacos looked good, but in all honesty I didn't ask if it was good because I was SO focused on my plate :) The pig in a blanket was my fave - the bourbon syrup was so good, there was a little spice to the sausage which was a nice balance The blueberry lemon was great - light, flavorful and just yummy The creme brulee which I was anticipating the most - was good, but wasn't my fave - maybe I was too full by the time I got to it but it wasn't as nummy as I'd hoped I'll be coming back next time I'm in town

That price isn't even including a tip. This place has always been pricier than the rest, but a couple years ago they used to give your to-go coffees in a mason jar so it was justified. Now the mason jars are gone, the cups are barely bigger than a claw clip, and somehow they're charging even more. This was my fourth time here and I wanted to give them another shot, but it'll have to be my last try. You can get much better coffee at a much more fair price at other places in the city. The only strength Elemental has is that it has a bit longer food menu than other cafes, but if you're paying more than $20 for a tiny coffee and a mediocre snack then you are wasting your time and money. Also, I don't expect you to yell a welcome or fall on your knees to greet me when I walk in, but the service here is miserable and always has been. The barista asked me how I was doing, to which I said good thank you, then just stared at me for a good few seconds. I guess that means go ahead and order here. A simple "what would you like today" would suffice. Most places you get used to waiting a second while the barista prepares the system, so if that's not the case, just say something. Then they hand you your to-go drink without a lid, because the $9.50 you spent doesn't cover that level of labor and you need to do it yourself. I love to support our local coffee shops here in OKC, but you'll never find me recommending Elemental. Which is a shame, because the mason jars in my cabinet at home are a good reminder of when they served unique and fairly priced coffee. I am so thoroughly disappointed that I made an account just to say this. At least the espresso is okay.
