Just left The Bagel Express and have to say that the Lox platter is on point! $15 but worth it, comes with your choice of bagel, spread, salmon and all the fixings, potato salad and pickle on the side. Suggestion would also be to add a wedge of lemon and use Vidalia onion instead of white. Also took home to try a plain and cinnamon raisin bagel. Total was over $20 including tip. Excellent location and quick service!! Will be back. read more

Bagel Express has been sold and it's not the same service or quality anymore. We have been here for over 30 min and they have seem to get all the customers orders wrong. They have 4 employees and they don't know who order anything. So sad to see our l best breakfast place go down. read more

Not impressed will not be returning. They got the order wrong. On top of that they asked us twice to confirm order

I've been going to bagel express as long as I can remember (20 years at least). The service, food and atmosphere are always the best. If you want great bagels at a place that makes you feel at home, this place is for you. read more

I am so happy these guys re-opened. Their bagels. Do you want authentic New York style bagels, will get them here. Help these guys out and stop in for a bite. I swung by just to drop off my dog for her annual shots and I saw they were open for business. read more

I love this bagel place in Kendall! I discovered it only a couple years ago and I'm so happy I did. Its located om 117th avenue in the small plaza just SW of the Red Lobster on Kendall Drive. Also in this plaza is Giardino Salads. Parking can be impossible at times but I've never given up and left. I love coming here on weekends when the place is packed with regulars and the sounds of their conversations amongst eachother and with the owner fill the tiny room. It gives Miami that small town feel even if just for a morning. I enjoy that very much. The staff is like family there. They are pretty friendly and quick with your order. Order at the counter and they'll bring it to your table. If the place is empty enough I'll just wait there for it. Otherwise I sit down to get out of the way. Sometimes I sit outside because anyone who knows me knows I love outdoor seating! They serve bagels, bagel sandwiches, deli saNdwiches (deli meats sliced to order) eggs prepared any way, bacon and nova... of course. Their cream cheeses and butters are mixed there by them and they serve them on the side by default. This is perfect for me because that's the way I normally order it anywhere I go since I don't like the schmears to melt. My favorite bagels here are Egg and Cinnamon Raisin. Their Honey Walnut cream cheese has big pieces of walnuts and is perfectly sweet on either. Though the Egg bagel tastes extra delicious with regular butter. They offer brewed coffee, espresso, Natalie's O.J. and in 2 sizes, canned sodas including Dr. Browns. For dessert they have a cake stand on the counter that's always filled with Rugelach (a Jewish pastry usually made of cream cheese and filled with walnuts, chocolate or fruit). They also sell their spreads/schmears in tubs for you to take home. read more

I love this little place. My husband and I used to go every weekend, religiously, when we lived closer by. We now go about once a month. The service is awesome. The people who work there are super warm and welcoming. They take your order right away and your food comes out fast. The eggs are freshly made, they come out steaming hot. I usually order an egg white omelet w/ ham and a whole wheat bagel toasted w/ honey walnut cream cheese. The bagel is soft but firm, not mushy. The cream cheese is made fresh on premises (or so they say) and it's really good. The omelets are freshly made and always come out perfectly. This is a great little place to stop for breakfast (or brunch, if you roll out of bed @ noon) on the way out on the weekend. read more

This a a review 20 years in the making, Bagel Express was my favorite bagel shop in Miami when I spent a few months here after Hurricane Andrew. Amazingly over the 20 years the ownership has not changed. I'm impressed. My standards are based on the New York Bagel Standard. Needs to be boiled, not baked and just the right crunch. I was happy to see my experience at Bagel Express has not changed in 20 years. Ok, enough history. Honestly, Bagel Express has delicious bagels. I hate going to the chain bagel shops because it just not a real bagel in my book. If you're a displaced New Yorker or just looking for a decent bagel in Miami, Bagel Express is worth the stop. Thumbs up from me. Enjoy. read more

The Bagel Express - Bagels Near Me - Kendall, Florida

Fresh, cheap bagels and breakfast items. I usually have the #1 (1 bagel of choice with side of butter or cream cheese, cup of coffee that I swap for a can of Coke, and 2 eggs your way). I also add either a side of bacon or a side of grilled ham. OJ available too. I appreciate the option in sizes because I could never drink the large OJ. The Cinnamon Raisin bagel with Honey Walnut cream cheese is my favorite. I tried the Everything bagel just once but didnt have it again because the large grains of salt made it entirely too salty for me. Even after I tried picking them off. The Egg bagel with butter is DELICIOUS. The owner is usually there chatting with the regulars, which is nice. The employees are generally friendly no complaints there really. Order at the counter and they'll bring it to your table. The space is tiny with lots of tables crammed in and a couple outside (bonus points for outdoor seating). Overall, a great little spot for a quick, cheap breakfast. They also serve nova and deli sandwiches but I haven't had either here. I have to knock off 1 star because the bathroom situation is unclear and I don't like that. There might be one there might not be. read more

Living so close to this place, I don't come as often as I would like but every time I do, it delivers. As simple as a deli/bagel place can get, Bagel Express is great. A little hole in the wall tucked away in shopping center, add good food and friendly service, and its just my kind of place. Another sign that this place is good, a lot of the people you'll see eating in or taking out are regulars, long time regulars. With all the staples from the bagels to the pastrami sandwich, everything in the menu is good. But my weakness is the nova platter. This is my regular and always with an egg bagel. The salmon is so fresh and so clean...Outkast (Goldmember's voice) lol if you get the joke. The cream cheese is so soft and creamy add the crunchiness of the onion, the juiciness of the tomato, the particular softness of the egg bagel and you get as close as a heavenly bite can get. I could have used more salmon, thought. read more

The Bagel Express - Nova platter. So fresh. So good. - Bagels Near Me - Kendall, Florida

I constantly wish this place was next to our house--but my thighs continue to thank Bagel Express for being all the way. down. in. Kendall. You won't find a better bagel outside of New York. That's a true fact. Go in here on the weekend for incredible nova lox and egg bagels (that always always always sell out). But do yourself a favor and just get a dozen and a pint of cream cheese to go. It's cheaper and trust me--you'll want to eat the whole bag. I just have to remind myself that bagels are a "sometimes" food. Oy vay. read more

The Bagel Express - My mouth is watering already. Also, cute magnets. - Bagels Near Me - Kendall, Florida

Loved it here. Food was great and Yahnelys, our server was amazing and attentive. Will definitely return.

The coffee is just as good as Einstein's Bagels (they have French Vanilla & Hazelnut). The bags are fresh made in house and their cream cheese is delicious! The only thing missing was the Nova Lox my fiancé got was missing capers but everything was fresh and delicious! I'll definitely be coming back here. It reminds me of NYC! read more

The owner of is place is the nicest ever. Authentic NYC style bagels. Delicious salmon spread. COVID conscious service.

by far the greatest bagels in town! I've been coming here for like 20 years and it's always amazing service! Henry the owner is a doll! Knows everyone by name and treats you like family. Delish variety of cream cheese spreads. My favorite is the Nova you won't regret it. They have sandwiches too. board head meat and cheese. read more

They make good bagels. They are open until 230p, but if you like a selection get there before 10-1030a, by 1130-noon they are almost out of bagels and don't make more. So if you're looking for a late breakfast or lunch, suggest you find another place so you don't either settle for something you didn't really want or then have to go look for some place else read more

Horrible service and horrible quality bagels. No room for social distancing and last time lox and cream cheese purchase here we had stomach problems for days. Stay clear of this place read more

Stopped by today just curious to see what they were offering. I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was delicious, the staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the owner was kind. Small little restaurant but they have a lot of great food items to pick from :) I had the oven gold roasted turkey breast sandwich. It hit the spot and made me full. I will definitely be coming back :)! read more

I think this is the best bagel place in Kendall and that is coming from a New Yorker. The bagels are always fresh and covered with ample toppings on both sides of the bagel which is very important because you don't want to eat the delicious top and then have a plain, boring bottom. The owner and staff are always pleasant and friendly. It's nice to see the same faces year after year. Check in on yelp and get a free cup of coffee...I just did! read more

I've been inside this neighborhood stop many times. My Dad LOVES to come here for breakfast and if he could, he'd eat lunch here too. It's the kind of food shop where locals can buy bagels and cream cheeses to go or order a simple breakfast or lunch and eat it there. The menu is limited to maybe 10 breakfast and lunch items, but it's always fresh. What I love most is their coffee! It's spot on every time. The service is no nonsense... I've been in here with my Dad multiple times and you'd think they'd greet him with some type of personal "Hey! Glad you're back!" But "What can I get for you?" is the only hello he gets. This is my pet peeve, my dad could care less! All in all, it's ok. A local spot for a quick breakfast or bite for lunch. read more

Not good. Let me tell you that I'm from northern New Jersey where all there is is good bagel store on every corner. I tried Bagel Express because it is the closest bagel store to where I live. & it still was about a 20 minute drive . Very limited menu. I was there about 10am & they ran out of plain bagels. Very slow service. Einstein Bagels are probably equivalent but I don't believe in chain bagel stores. read more

Though the bagel is good and New Yorkish chewy, my garlic bagel is missing.....garlic!..and though "vaguely" pinkish, there are no discernable smidgens of lox in my nova cream cheese. --update on 8/21/2014 HA! Tip is telling me THIS review is shorter than most!! Something I very rarely hear! ! read more

The bagel express is a little hole in the wall in a small strip mall. Its a little pricey but, worth it. The bagels are made from scratch and baked fresh daily. They offer a variety of bagels (pumpernickel, sesame, egg, poppy seed, garlic, salt, cinnamon, plain etc). In additon, for the people that are on diets or looking to be a little healthier there's whole wheat and eight-grain available with your choice of regular or low-fat cream cheese. they also offer a variety of drinks from freshly squeezed orange juice, to Dr Brown's sodas which are lightly carbonated and not too sweet. read more

After reading the reviews I was hoping for more. I came for lunch to get away from work for a bit. When I entered, I did notice none of the tables were very clean (crumbs all over them). This is something that annoys me. I feel like when somewhere can't bother to keep something halfway clean, the food quality probably isn't too great. Plus it was very hard to maneuver in between the chairs. It was just really cramped... Anyhow, the menu has a few different sandwich options. I got the egg salad and a soda, which ran me $10. The egg salad was ONLY egg and mayo, no seasoning or other veggies. So, bland overall. It did come with lettuce & tomato that was fresh. I got the sandwich on a pumpernickel bagel, which was decent (they make the dense kind) ....but nothing I would run out to have again. I do NOT recommend their pickles. I love pickles and this one tasted what I imagine a dirty dish rag tastes like. I took one bite and that was it. So for the price, I will definitely not be back for lunch. Maybe their breakfast is better. Oh, and they have one of the weirdest parking lots I think I've ever been in. read more

I have been a customer for over 25 years and have tasted a number of different items on the menu. The bagels are all made FRESH daily as well a the cream cheese spreads. (Cream cheese and chives is a real winner!). The staff is very well mannered and the restaurant is very clean. There is something about "fresh" food that many of the other restaurants are not able to compete with. From great roast beef and pastrami sandwiches for lunch to eggs for breakfast they have it all covered here! It's no wonder they are there after 29 years -- everyone is happy and keeps coming back. Many of the other local delis buy their bagels from Bagel Express! It really doesn't get any better than this if you like a good bagel! read more

I swear these bagels have crack in them and if this place was anywhere closer to my house i might seriously need an intervention. Back in highschool there was the Bagel Cart supplying students with the most divine bagels. These bagels were so good, students skipped the free breakfast in the cafeteria and paid to eat these bagels. So good teachers would give students hall passes to make a bagel runs during class! Now having the connections i had with the activities director i soon found out who was supplying these "crack bagels"- Bagel Express. I vowed when i had a car, or had someone willing to take me i would go to this wonderful bagel mecca to pay my homage. I went in and i had to be in heaven, because in an instant i traveled back to my home of my NY bagel shop and deli. I went up ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese, and then the most wonderful words came out of the bagel angel's mouth. "Would you like that toasted?". Toasted? i had never thought of toasting this delicious creation before because i had never had the means. I quickly answered "sure" and a minute later it was ready. It was different from the many bagels i had in school; this one was even better. I bit into the warm chewy crisp bagel and i was sure i was in heaven, bagel heaven. I had to be because no where else in miami had i had a bagel this good. Thank you Bagel express for sharing your love of bagels with me and the world!! [Note: i guess i should mention the details on what they have: different flavors of bagels, breakfast sandwiches, light and regular cream cheese, and your typical bagel stuffs, just way better than your typical bagel place.] read more

After waiting for 20 minutes at Einstein Bagels and still not being able to order, I searched on Yelp trying to find a close bagel place where I could get my nova lox fix. Enter Bagel Express. It's located right after 117th St. in this small shopping center right off Kendall Drive. After a quick drive down the street, I walked into this small storefront that was packed with people all eating the same thing, nova! I felt like this was a good sign. I ordered a nova lox sandwich on an 8 grain bagel and my dining partner ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon on an onion bagel. The food arrived pretty quickly and it was great. The nova was sliced thin, which I really liked and the bagel tasted very fresh. The Bagel Express is a great local bagel place. The food is solid and the service is friendly. I'll definetly be back again! read more

I'm not sure what everyone else experienced giving Bagel Express 5 stars, but I honestly didn't think the world of it. Just average. Hence, the 3 stars. They do have several bagel flavors, but not as many cream cheese flavors as I expected. I ordered a poppy seed bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. The girl behind the counter was friendly, and nice enough to ask if I wanted her to go ahead and spread the cream cheese for me since I was ordering to-go. The bagel was bigger than others I've had, and she did a good job spreading a decent amount of cream cheese all over the bagel. I was the only one in the place on a weekday morning who didn't know anyone else. They had what seemed like regulars in there, striking up conversations with each other. That made me think two things: 1. what a nice, local, friendly place. 2. I sure am an odd-ball, though. Anyway, free coffee with a Yelp check-in. I just read in another person's review that you have a choice of regular, hazelnut, or vanilla coffee. Well, that was NOT the case when I came in. Just the regular. The rest isn't even on the menu, and the girl did not ask me. read more

This is my first review ever in my life but I feel like I just had to share how amazing this place is. This morning I ordered Uber eats for my boyfriend and asked them if they can write Happy Valentine's Day on the box. Not only did they do just that but went out of the way and I add a poem! Talk about great customer service! The food quality was great my boyfriend said it was delicious and ate it all!!! Thank you so much!!! read more

My husband and I have been coming to The Bagel express for a long time and never have we experienced the lack of customer service which makes me assume the girl who attended to us was new. I was charged much more than what it was and when I asked her why she couldn't explain thoroughly, then followed with "the nova bagel isn't on our menu". Just maybe she should have communicated that instead of charging me for a full platter I did not have. Very disappointed with her service. She has lots to learn. read more

First of all, I am a huge fan of made-in-house menu items. This family-owned cozy spot makes their bagels daily, among other items! Because of this, ordering a bagel or bagel sandwich is a must. I struggle between getting an egg filled breakfast sandwich or my weakness: a classic turkey piled high sandwich. Once this nail biting decision has been made, the stress of which type of freshly baked style bagel is next. Either way, your plate will entail a delicious concoction that'll have you returning for more. After ordering at the counter, traditional deli style, park it either inside or out with your coffee and sip away while you await for your made-to-order deliciousness to be brought to you. read more

The Bagel Express - classic turkey sandwich on a toasted [scooped] homemade pumpernickel bagel with a side of chunky potato salad & fresh coffee. A MUST! - Bagels Near Me - Kendall, Florida

My FAVORITE breakfast spot in Miami for the past 15 years! I always look forward to eating at The Bagel Express- attentive and friendly staff and most importantly, delicious food. Phenomenal bagels, omelettes, rugelach, top quality deli meat and coffee all for a great price. Personal fav: veggie egg white omelette with low fat cream cheese on a scooped out wheat bagel- perfect after a workout. I'll never stop coming here! read more

They DO NOT HAVE BIALYS which is a big negative.....they offer to "scoop out the bagel" in lieu of that..ehhh Love the nova scotia platter.. BAGELS ARE THE BEST YOU CAN GET IN THAT AREA...the owner I think was a baker for the old Bagel Hole on Kendall and 107 ave....which was very very renowned in the 70's-early 80's... read more

On a packed Saturday morning, the Bagel Express isn't so express. That's ok though because you can amuse yourself while you wait by reading all the signs with clever anecdotes all over the place. Also, on a packed Saturday, there are lots of families here and it may take awhile for you to stalk a table until someone leaves. All in all, our sandwiches probably took about 15-20 minutes but I was starving so it felt like forever. I am always happy when I find a place that serves breakfast sandwiches. This place also offers turkey sausage too. Bonus! What else is there to say -- it's eggs, bagels and coffee. Nothing stood out good or bad. It was A-Ok. Alas, this place isn't in my hood and it's not all that for me to make a special trip to get here. But if it WERE in my hood, then I would definitely make a habit of coming here to grab a breakfast sandwich. I was surprised to spend a little over 20 bucks for two sandwiches (one lunch one breakfast) and two coffees. read more

Bagels here are delicious. They offer fresh deli meats all Boars head. They also have fresh salmon which for breakfast is very kosher. Nothing like having a lots of lox on a Sunday morning. I gie them 3 stars becuase well their coffee really sucks. Once they improve tht arabica bean we are in buisiness! BTW, if you dont know what a lots of lox is it is a bagel cream cheese, tomatoes, onions, capers, and salmon! read more

I am literally in love with this place. If i could eat bagels more frequently i would be there all the time.. for more than just coffee. Staff is great ! read more

So disappointed again. It Felt like an Arnold rye on the inside and not crispy on the outside. Coffee was good

Love eating here. The staff is friendly and attentive. They can get real busy on the weekends. I always get the nova bagels and it is delicious, it brings a half sour pickle and some coleslaw. My boyfriend gets their omelette with a bagel and he loves it. I really recommend this place to everyone very good never disappoints me. read more
