Everything bagel with cream cheese
Kelsey P.

When OSB on Hefner opened 10 years ago, it was absolutely the best bagel spot in the city. These days? The sister locations are hit or miss. Meh. Underwhelming. Not special. When this 23rd street location opened originally they had a solid staff and one man in particular who made that place extremely personable and enjoyable. Even the staff seemed to be happy to have such enthusiastic leadership. I'm not sure what happened to him, he hasn't been there since right before 2020. The quality of the bagels is...well, they aren't terrible but they aren't as advertised. OSB tells folks that their bagels are water boiled and a process they've "meticulously replicated in their stores". I know that was true years ago, but these days highly suspect that these bagels are coming from delivery trucks. Water boiled bagels are notoriously chewy and delightful (I've made some myself) and these bagels are not. You barely get cream cheese spread on your bagel. Basically this place is OK. That's it. Just OK. I cannot speak on the ambiance of the restaurant itself since I haven't been in since prior to Covid. The past few times I've ordered it has been pick up or delivery. Unfortunately this will be the last chance I give OSB on 23rd.

This is a great little place for a bagel in Oklahoma City. They have quite the variety, including some gluten-free variations. I particularly liked the cream cheese. On one occasion I ordered a bagel with blueberry cream cheese and it wasn't sickeningly sweet. It was delicious. The coffee is excellent too! They are doing a nice job with the Covid thing. Tables outside are spaced apart and masks are required. This is one of the few places I stopped at twice on my visit. Definitely a good one!

Breakfast bagel with ham on a salt bagel

My Sunday morning go to!! I feel like the breakfast bagels are lacking somehow (probably the egg...), but I still order them half the time. You have the option to order them on any bagel, but honestly, I think plain is the best. Everything is fun, but their salt bagel was overwhelming. Boyfriend loves the Firecracker. My sweet go to is the cinnamon raisin with honey almond cream cheese -- so so yummy. They have Eote coffee on drip, and the regular coffee cup is still massive! I've caved and gotten an iced latte a few times, and they're solidly fine, but they never feel correct like a normal drip coffee does. The service is quick. I love the upstairs loft area for a quiet morning sit. They have a fireplace up there! So casual here. I come here very often.

bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel

I'm a frequent flyer at this location out of convenience, but I just don't feel like this location lives up to the glory of the one in Norman. I'm a die hard fan of the one in Norman and I think they are a solid 10/10 even on bad days. Usually they are a 20/10. I know this information isn't the most helpful, but it's the best way I can describe this place. Overall, underwhelming compared to the Norman location. However, it's an okay pit stop if you're having a ragingly hormonal hankering for a bagel. At this location, the bagels are usually just okay. They can be hit or miss depending on the day. Sometimes they can appear a bit old and sparsely seasoned. The hot sandwiches are usually a disappointment, so I would recommend that you stick with a toasted bagel and cream cheese combo or a cold sandwich. My favorite combination from here so far has been the toasted everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese. This is good and an overall good deal! It is only about $3.00 for a pretty filling and portable breakfast.

Meet lover blueberry bagel.

Yelp failed me this time. I read all the good reviews and decided to try this place but was disappointed. Very happening place in OKC so prepare to wait where your order your food. I ordered breakfast sausage, egg and a cheese on a jalapeño bagel. It was ok, nothing impressive. The eggs was fake , not freshly cooked. Meat lover bagel on blueberry was hard and chewy to eat. I was not impressed with their banana or chocolate muffin either, not fresh at all. I could barely eat it. May it is just my taste bud, but I have had a better bagels.

Super hidden from the main road (23rd) but it's worth the stop! Best bagels I've had in okc by far. Tons on customization options too

The service has gotten a lot better - my recent order was right and the long line moved well. Also the bagels are still just as good.

I'd give this place 0 stars if I could. Besides me waiting 15 minutes for one sandwich, I asked for…read moreand was charged for extra bacon... There is one literal piece of bacon on here. Its cold. The asiago bagel is chewy and stale tasting. The kid at the window is more worried about asking for a tip rather than making sure your order is correct. Skip this place.

This place is okay. I ordered a customized breakfast Lox Bagel. I added sprouts, avocado, cucumber,…read morewasabi CC instead of plain and removed the onions. The last time I ordered the breakfast Lox Bagel with no customizations it was absolutely foul!!! The moment I opened the container at work there was a horrid stench of old onions, so much so that everyone that sat in a 20 ft radius of me was complaining of a nasty onion smell. I was so embarrassed!! On top of it the avocado was very brown. Needless to say I called and got a free bagel. This time was MUCH better!! The only issues was that they were out of cucumbers but didn't bother telling me until I went back in to tell them about my messed up order. Also I ordered wasabi CC instead of plain and that was the other reason I went back in. The lady that made my sandwich adamantly insisted she made the wasabi CC that day and since she got so many complaints about it being too spicy, she put less wasabi in it but there WAS wasabi in it. I told her I have a VERY good sense of taste and I picked up ZERO hint of wasabi flavor. Let's be real, ANYONE who is complaining about the heat of wasabi has no business ordering wasabi CC in the first place, PERIOD! I will say, the people that work there are so very nice and accommodating!!
