I really wanted to like this place because it's a little off the beaten path and seems like a local staple but I agree with the person who said this is the worst bagel they have ever had. What this place does well if offer a huge selection of vegan options providing options for those in a space where they don't often get it. However, the bagels aren't fluffy and the flavors, or at least what I had, aren't very true to their names. I ordered a pumpkin chocolate chip bagel and it didn't even remotely taste like there was any pumpkin in it of that pumpkin was even in the room with us. I wish I liked this more but this experience wasn't tasty enough for me to want to come back. read more

Great bagels, juices and pastries. The move quickly and are always friendly. Great location but im bias because its close to my job lol

Disappointing experience after numerous rave recommendations. The sausage, egg, and cheese bagel was not very good. The bagel itself was fine but egg and sausage were flavorless and gummy. The holiday latte tasted like a plain latte. Which was okay but not what I ordered. Workers were fast and friendly and the atmosphere seemed nice even though I got my stuff to go. read more

Honestly pretty great spot. May or may not have been coming here for the past 3 Sundays straight. The bagels are Phenomenal and the chicken sandwiches are to die for. Great service. Love to order from the app, since the line can be crazy. Clean overall, saw a drunk white girl throw up on the flower on there outside patio (if ur reading this, you suck girl) but good clean spot over all. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience absolutely warranted one. The shop was extremely overcrowded, with a very poor interior layout, customers were packed together shoulder to shoulder waiting for orders, creating an uncomfortable environment from the start. It took over 20 minutes just to receive two bagels. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was even more disappointing than the wait. I ordered the Denver bagel and my husband ordered a standard breakfast bagel, we consider ourselves true bagel enthusiasts, and I can honestly say these were among the most flavorless, plain, and unenjoyable bagels we've ever had. To make matters worse, there was a hair in my Denver bagel, which is completely unacceptable for any food establishment. Nashville has much better options, Ugly Bagel and Jersey Oven remain superior in both flavor and quality. This shop has potential given how busy it was, but the poor execution, lack of attention to cleanliness, and the disappointing food are serious issues and need to be addressed immediately. read more

Star Bagel is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Nashville! It is cost friendly & full of healthy options. The locally owned business has everything you could want - from bagels & cream cheese to fresh focaccia sandwiches to coffee & smoothies! Everything I've tried has been delicious and it's one of my favorite spots to bring visitors & then walk the loop at McCabe golf course when the weather permits. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, which can fill up quick on a weekend! The patio is a great way to enjoy the weather if you can snag a seat read more

Sometimes it's the parking....and beyond. I've wanted to stop here and smell the roses (well, the aroma of hot dough and coffee) but have been dissuaded by the apparent paucity of parking. (Yes, big words for small spaces.) Today I figuratively bit the bullet and stopped anyhow, having first checked out approaches and parking spaces via Google Earth maps. That worked out fairly well. I got there and aimed for the empty Handicapped Parking space....only to discover as I pulled in that someone had tied their dog to the rail at that spot. (No pets allowed inside.) Fortunately for me there was an open space next to the "parked" and quiet pup. Phew! Atmosphere inside the building was lively....lots of chatter as patrons enjoyed their morning brews and bagels or waited patiently for their orders to be delivered. Judging by the crowd, I thought I might have a bit of a wait....but, in fact, I was promptly and politely asked for my order at the counter. And equally as promptly.... was handed the first part of it consisting of 6 bagels to go. I also was given an empty cup for my coffee. (Serve yourself if it's straight up brew from the array of pump-pots with Regular, Decaf, and flavored options.). The coffee was surpisingly fresh and very hot! And the flavor was a delightful treat - one of the tastiest House Blends I've had in quite a while. My Sante Fe Bagel sandwich was delivered only a few minutes later and I carried it to the car. The steaming sandwich was bigger than I anticipated.... nice since I was pretty hungry. So, I opened the tightly wrapped breakfast bonanza and attempted to take my first bite. [To paraphrase a line from the movie "Jaws"...."I should have brought a bigger mouth"....because, in an instant, the very thick (an inch+ maybe) egg-pepper frittata slid from between the slippery turkey sausage patty and the ooey gooey melted cheese lining for the bagel onto my lap. I must have had a premonition before starting on this misadventure because after sitting down in the car, I placed a large cloth hand towel across my lap and that, in turn, caught the entire avalanche before it hit my clothes or the floor of the car. Disaster more or less averted. Thank goodness I still had half the sandwich left. Taste: Excellent! Fluffy-flavored egg with bits of crunch from the peppers on a lightly toasted bun. Will I return....? In all honesty, unless I can find an alternative to the parking situation....I doubt it. BUT YOU SHOULD .... just aim for the Star. Open wide. And enjoy! read more

One of the worst bagels I have eaten in my life. The eggs were green. I did not like them Sam I Am. And the bacon was sliced more thinly than prosciutto. The coffee tastes like gas station coffee, but the dude working at the gas station put in half as much coffee as he should have, because it was his first day. I also think it's sad that Star Bagel blocked Jeni's or Sho Pizza going in next door to them, so that we get a Cigar Shop instead. Great. My kids say thanks! read more

Nice small local spot in the heart of Sylvan Park. Tasty breakfast bagel with egg, cheese, and Turkey sausage. Long line on a Sunday morning and packed house, making it a little disorganized and crowded to get around. Only 3 menus floating around so made it difficult to know what you're getting if you're a first timer. Nice & patient staff as we had to wait till the front to get a menu and choose. Lots of pickup orders coming in and out, definitely a loved spot. read more

Star Bagel Cafe - Breakfast Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This review was delayed in posting. It reflects my numerous (daily) visits in December 2024 and January 2025. The establishment is in a retail strip with easy access to the road and decenet parking, It has a deli-like appearance and feel. I had an everything bagel with one side of the bagel with jalapeno cream cheese and the other lox spread. The bagel was good, far better than Panera Bread and likely most other places in the Nashville area. I was impressed-it actually met my NYC standard for a good authentic bagel. The cream cheese spreads were equally good, again meeting my NYC expectations. The spreads tasted just right, well balanced without the overpowering sour cream taste other non New York City bagel shops try to pass off. On my first two trips here, the college aged male worker and a young middle aged woman were effective and efficient. I was in and out in less than 7 minutes. I also tried a apple beet ginger carrot juice that comes in a bottle and is made elsewhere. It cost $9, very very expensive and it tasted horrible . I had a few sips and discarded it. I will never buy it again-yuck! What a difference a day makes! The following day (my third day there) I returned to this place and had a totally different experience. Two different workers were on duty, one a middle aged female taking the orders and the other, an elderly woman making the orders up. The difference between this day and the day before was very evident from the second I began ordering the exact same me things I did just 24.5 hours before. I ordered the bagel with one side jalapeno spread, the other with lox spread on a well toasted bagel. The order taking woman said she can't do that. I asked why, she said I can't have two different spreads on the bagel. I again asked why and she said because they don't do that. I told her if there was a new rule in place because I ordered the same exact way the day before without a problem. She insisted they don't do that. I asked why it's a problem because all they need to do is put half the amount of the spread they normally do on one side and the other half the amount with the second spread on the other side of the bagel since they are already charging me for the flavored cream cheese. She dug her heels in, I said I need to get to work, don't want to waste time and I became perturbed. Evidently "the customer is always right," no longer applies even here in the South. It's a long gone belief in many places in America. She asked the owner to come from the back of the store as the line behind me grew. When he did, she and I explained the discrepancy. He told us it can be done and it's called an open faced bagel and there is a small upcharge because I'd get slightly more spread on one side. I said fine, it's fair, it's how they did it the day before but they didn't tell me it was called an open face and there was an upcharge, they just did it. There was no wasting of time going back and forth about it, no one getting frustrated or mad. It's obvious the owner /manager needs to better teach the staff so they don't tick off customers by providing wrong information or losing a customer's business because the customer doesn't want to waste time or get mad over what turns out to be incorrect information on the staff's part or the customer must do things the staff's way or no way. In the end and 13 minutes later, I left with the two bagels the way I ordered them. However I was shaken and upset for about 2 hours, which cranked up the stomach juices and made me not wanting to eat the morning bagel. I threw it out and wasted $7.80 plus 9.25% tax by this easily preventable event had the staff been properly trained on how to make the order an open faced bagel. While I recommend this establishment, I will NEVER return here again just to get upset and have to argue with someone about what I ordered and pay for so they have a job. I highly recomend H&S Bagel as a much better tasting, more generous with the spreads and much more friendly and less frustrating bagel place as a great alternate. read more

This place is amazing and the community knows it. Definitely try whatever the special is that day. They were packed and Ivy (the angel at the register) was calm and cool. Great energy! Thank you guys. read more

Great neighborhood bagel spot in Slyvan Park. We ordered online late in the afternoon and got the Spicy Mike and lox bagel with herb cream cheese to go. The bagels were fresh and soft with the perfect amount of chew. The toppings were also fresh with good portion sizes. We also ordered a muffin but they were out so they threw in several cookies at no added charge. The staff was friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Went here after running the Nashville Half Marathon (humble brag woohoo)! I know that after running I was really hungry and anything would have tasted good BUT I ordered the BALT and was very very pleased! It was delicious! The bagel was toasted perfectly! The ratios of the inner components of the sandwich were amazing, and it did not take long to get our food. Would definitely go back. read more

I've been coming here for a long time and I've watched it gain popularity over the years to almost an overwhelming degree. There is always a rush but if you time it right you can find parking in the lot out front or usually street parking across the street near the park. No matter how busy they get they always have time for friendly service and a smile at the register. I never feel rushed or like I'm inconveniencing anyone , as one tends to feel at hipster coffee shops. This is more of a beloved Nashville jewel. It still has the old Nashville feel. There is limited seating but there are patio tables outside . Or you can get your food to go and go to the park. I really like the breakfast bagels, and the iced coffee. They have delicious bakery items as well. I never make it to the lunch menu because I'm a breakfast all day kind of person. But I hear it's really good. Overall you can find something pretty healthy , fairly quick, and super delicious while supporting small businesses here in Nashville. read more

I cannot believe I forgot to review this place! It is great! They have a variety of bagels and the sandwiches are always good. You can't beat the price and even when the line is long on the weekends, it goes quickly! The reason I'm taking one star off is because the gluten free bread is very blah. I wish they made gluten free bagels. read more

This place stays busy and for good reason. Their food is delicious and affordable. One of my favorites is simply buttered foccacia, but the Starz classic sandwich is also great. And the mocha muffin is superb!! There is limited indoor seating and maybe 4 patio tables. Not a ton of parking, but many costumers take their food to go. read more

Also grabbed a berry smoothie and I love when it's actually fruit in them and not just a mix. read more

*This Review is based off of a drink and the service...I sadly did not partake in the namesake bagels...at least not yet!" We recently stayed at an AirBnB that located a few blocks away and while we were waiting to check in, we explored the Sylvan Heights area and came across Star Bagel Cafe, which sits in the restaurant row area of the neighborhood. I was just after an iced coffee of some sort and luckily they had just what I was craving, an Iced Mocha! I placed my order than wondered around the small café to see what they had going on before eventually settling down at a table to wait. They asked me my name, so I figured they would call once ready, but after about 4 minutes of waiting I walked up to the counter and saw my drink with my name ticket on top of it. Not sure if that is the process, but seemed odd as I was one of only two folks waiting so a heads up I was good to go would have been nice. But, at the end of it all I got my Iced Mocha. Speaking of said beverage, you could definitely taste the mocha! It was almost overwhelmingly mocha. The ordering counter is essentially made up of the bagel case which showcased around 17 different variety of their homemade bagels! We did not partake this visit, but those bagels looked delish and then you add some of their house made spreads, boyyyyyyyyy! Speaking of the spreads, while I was waiting I canvased the cooler case where they held water, juices, granolas, salads and several varieties of their homemade cream cheese spreads! Service was ok. The person who took my order was all business and again, I did not interact with the person who made my drink...but maybe that is by design? The layout of the place is solid. You walk in the main doors and walk into the front counter. There are a few high tops tables in this area and then on the other side of the drink station you have a few low tops and booths where you can hang out. They do also have a cute patio with umbrellas as well. Parking could be problematic as there are limited spots in front and on the side, but given the nearby businesses and street parking, you should be good to go. Overall, my visit here was limited on time and product, but given the status of this little spot in the neighborhood, I can definitely see us coming back through on our next visit! read more

I was in the mood for a leisurely cafe lunch after visiting the farmer's market this weekend. I stopped into Star Bagel, unsure if they'd have menu items to accommodate gluten free, but I figured I'd get a coffee and pop into Edley's if the menu did not have choices. I was pleasantly surprised to see that any of their breakfast or lunch sandwiches could be made gluten free! The counter server asked me if it was a preference or an allergy, which my fellow celiacs will know is a great sign. She mentioned some techniques to handle cross contamination as well. I'd recommend it for anyone gluten free, which is not something I can say about many bakeries. But sometimes we GF people just miss the cozy feeling of a bakery cafe, y'know? As to my order: I got a hummus sandwich with feta and sprouts, and a chilly chai (a frozen dirty chai latte). Came out to $13 total and that includes the extra $1 for gluten free bread. I thought it was a great value for the price and the house made hummus really hit the spot. Seriously, where else in Sylvan Park can you find a frappe under $6 or even $5 for the smaller sizes? Now I understand the lines that form here at the busier times, even though I'm sadly not a bagel eater these days. read more

Was craving bagels on an early Sunday morning that allowed online ordering. I stumbled across Star Bagel and after browsing the menu I decided to give it a try. I rarely try out a place without reading the reviews, but i took a chance this time. I'm so glad I did because my bagel and coffee was delicious. I ordered the Santa Fe Breakfast Bagel which I highly recommend. I also ordered a caramel coffee (can't remember the exact name) but it was so good as well. The only drawback was that the food wasn't ready at the scheduled pickup time. It wasn't an issue because even though the place was packed, everyone got their food really quick. If you haven't tried it, you should definitely check this place out! read more

Pretty good bagels, coffee, and smoothies. However, they don't cut the bagels in half (!!!) and their website and app are a nightmare. Trying to order a bagel with cream cheese is like deciphering hieroglyphics. They could pay a high schooler 50 bucks to create a better UI design read more

Stopped by early on our way out of town heading home. Arrived early before the lines/rush. Ordered a lox everything bagel and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and a cold brew. I got my order and they forgot the bagel and cc. I went back and was given the bagel without cc. I went back and got the cc. The lox and bagel was delicious, one of my favorites. The blueberry bagel was great. The bagels were well made, crisp outer shell with fluffy. Muffins in the showcase looked delicious. The cold brew was very enjoyable. The service was very friendly. The footprint for seating is very small but open in these trying times. There are outdoor tables for sunny warmer days. The food quality earns the fourth star. Recommended Slainte!! read more

Decided to try this spot since it's right next to my laundromat! I planned to sit and get some work done with a coffee and a bagel while I wait for my laundry to finish, but to my surprise they don't have WiFi. Can't remember the last time I went to a cafe where there hasn't been WiFi for customers. Bagel was good, drip coffee was also good! If you're looking to travel back to a time before new wave coffee shops this is the spot. The street would benefit from a simple coffee shop in my opinion but for now this works! read more

I love star bagel so much... I can walk there from where I live so it's super convenient. However... the wait time is absolutely painful. Even if you order online it is always 30-40 mins past when they say it will be ready. If you order there, make sure you're carving out like 2 hours to wait and eat your food. It's crazy. The food is fantastic and the staff is great... but they really need a better system for orders and crowds. The wait time is just painful for a bagel and coffee. I made an online order today at 11 am and they said it would be ready at 11:30. I walked over at 11:30 and waited for 20 mins in a crowd of people... then asked when they thought it would be ready and they said another 5. Actually ended up being 15 mins. Insane. Also very little seating. It's a great spot for great food... but make sure you have a LOT of time to hangout for a bit! Lol read more

Food was okay. Think there are other better bagel options. Did enjoy their seasonal pumpkin coffee.
