We went on Easter so they had a ton of Easter decor and the bagels were colorful which was cute. I had the breakfast bagel and it was delicious! I just wished the bagels weee a bit bigger and more filled, but it was $5 so for the price it was good. Definitely want to comeback and try more! read more

Pretty good. The cream cheese tasted very fresh, the bagels were alright but not the best I've ever had. It took longer than I expected to get our food, but otherwise the service was fine. I'm glad I tried it but do not need to go back. read more

Right across the street from the Dental Depot in Norman, Ok is a cute, quaint little cafe that serves some of the best bagels in town. The atmosphere is really great! Even at the lunch time rush hour with the schools near, the staff still seems to get the job done is a timely manor. You're never waiting too long. The food is simply amazing. The bagels are fresh, the meat is always hot, and the spreads taste like ya grandma made em'. The coffee is some of the best in town here too. Doesn't taste like your common chain. I was given the wrong order and the manager remade my order and wrapped up the other one to go. Such an amazing staff here. read more

Update. Took away stars Today I have spent the day in the bathroom with food poisoning. What a day Normally a great experience but today was an absolute disaster. I ordered a poppyseed bagel toasted with low-fat cream cheese. I got a nearly half baked bagel with a sprinkle of poppy seed. And on the inside was cream cheese dumped with poppy seed in the cream cheese. I'm not sure why the bad bagel because they had a basket of perfect looking poppy seed bagels. This was just a gross experience. Really disappointing as I only go once in a while anymore because of dietary restrictions. Now I'll be second guessing visiting there. read more

I tried the gluten free bagel. I didn't really like it. It tasted like gluten free bread rather then a chewy bagel. I wanted so badly to like it because I miss bagels. read more

I am writing this as I'm eating because it could not wait! We have been here every week for months and the food is SPOT ON every single time. AS WELL AS SERVICE. Some of the best customer service I've ever come across! I always get the Cajun chicken breast on croissant and it is my favorite sandwich in Norman, hands down. Everything is so fresh and portions and great! My brother always gets the bacon breakfast bagel and he CRAVES it all of the time. This last time we went in, the server didn't hear him ask for bacon instead of sausage, so they let him take the sausage to go and remade it with bacon immediately. I offered to pay for the new sandwich and they refused. They even apologized several times and it was an honest mistake but they made it right immediately! Their coffee is also one of my faves. Rivals Starbucks for sure. read more

The portions for sandwich's or bagel spread had diminished. Not worth the price. The cost had also increased

Got a sooner club that comes with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, Swiss, ham and onions - got bacon and lettuce only. Disappointment

Workers are rude and make you feel like an idiot for asking a question. Went to get my regular order this morning and the tall man with curly hair was making it. As I saw him about to bag it I realized he had missed a component of the sandwich. He looked up at me so I asked if it was on the sandwich and he looks at me with the most disgusted look and says "Yes." without making any motion to check or show me. The manager noticed his response so she walks over and asked him if it was actually on the sandwich and he gave her the same response. As she walked away he made a disrespectful face and kept muttering about what idiots she and I were. Maybe he should be removed from front of house if he can't be respectful with customers. read more

Normally, I'll only leave a review if I'm especially impressed with the service I've received from a business. I could lay down my years of experience with customer service in retail stores and kitchens, but I just want to get to the message: I have waited in the drive-thru line for 45 minutes before I could order, which I declined to do when there wasn't any offer made to make-up for the time I've spent here. I wish I could leave a more holistic review to speak about their food, but unfortunately that may never happen seeing as this first visit has been horrendous (I could not leave due to how the drive-thru lane only has one exit). I'm a patient customer that sets a low bar for expectation, but if the business either knows they cannot meet demand or has been thrown into a corner, either close it early or do something for the customers who have wasted an hour waiting. Perhaps it was just a bad day for this place. Nonetheless, I have no intentions of making a return visit. read more

If you find yourself here for lunch on a weekday, be prepared for the high school crowd and long lines. The cashiers may also treat you like a child. I guess that comes with being height challenged. I'd say you're good if you're over 5'7. Anyway, the bagels are always great. My favorite is a plain bacon cheese bagel with the top left off and extra strawberry cream cheese to dip it in. Lunch bagels are good, but some of the chicken ones are pretty messy. And I always get my order in a good time frame after I place it. read more

The bagels sandwiches are really good. I got the firecracker. There are many different bagels and bagel sandwiches to choose from. There are also salads,too. It was busy, but it was Saturday morning. read more

Lots of bagel options, generous spread of cream cheese, could have had more smoked salmon, coffee tastes weirdly watered down. Also service was slower than you would expect for a place that has all of their components pre-made. read more

Now called the "bagel factory." This place has never disappointed! Coming from someone who has celiac it's so nice that they offer more than one type of gluten free bagel, and the ingredients always taste fresh! Check it out read more

I love old school but tell me why my latte was pure white and tasted like straight milk. Must've been a bad coffee day but it was super disappointing read more

New location on Classen--AVOID. In the drive through line 20 minutes before they closed, but it took 45 minutes to get through the line and THEY WOULDN'T serve me because they were closed. And guy said he'd give me something free next time for the inconvenience and he would remember me. Seriously? Avoid this location unless you have a lot of time to waste and then don't get served. read more

I've been here numerous times now that my new work location is within walking distance. I love their everything bagel with light cream cheese and an iced chai. Reasonable prices and super nice staff! read more

Update: Tried the egg and cheese bagel and was disappointed. Einstein's is better. It was like a bread sandwich with barely any cheese or eggs. Tried this place for lunch for the first time today and it was very delicious. I had the Boston Salad and my boyfriend had the Asian Salad. There were lots of toppings on mine but my boyfriend's salad was skimpy on the toppings. The chicken on the salads is outstanding. Great flavor and grilled to perfection. The place itself is cold and very industrial. It's just a cool little shop. I can't wait until I can try the bagels their known for! read more

It's alright. I was so underwhelmed though having been to the Tulsa location. I love OSBC, but Tulsa's location trumps the one in Norman...

I called my order ahead of time and arrived 20 minutes after I placed it. The lady who took my order forgot to put it in I guess and before I told her who I spoke to (her) she was a little weird with me and tried to blame me for possibly calling the wrong location. She then was very sorry once she realized it was her fault and made it promptly. Everything was fine until I found 3 long curly hairs in my bagel. It was beyond disgusting. I hate sounding like a "Karen" but I hadn't had OSBC in years and was looking forward to it, but now I'm disgusted and will never have it again. read more

Love fresh bagels, try this place order the lox bagel sandwich without any cheese at the end got the bagel with cheese was not happy with the order since I asked for no cheese the employee that took the order didn't know what to do so I spent $$$ for the wrong sandwich so I just walk away. read more

I am so angry with my experience at this location! My friend and I drove 4 hours to come get bagels and online it said they closed at 3 and on yelp it says 4 but when we go there at 2 they were already closed!! CHANGE YOUR HOURS OR LET US IN!!!!! Also one time I brought my disabled son with me and they yelled at us and kicked us out refusing to serve us and called him a cripple and said he was a distraction to the other customers! Completely rude and unprofessional!!! read more

The bagels are good but the sandwiches.... When you pay $6 for a sandwich, you'd hope they wouldn't skimp on cheap ingredients like onion and cucumber. They've got a variety of breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches. They've got some basic ones like bacon and egg and some more exotic ones like a bagel with lox. The lox is my typical go to and I also like the veggie sandwich. The last time I went there I was pretty disappointed because my sandwich came with the tiniest little sliver of onion and I am very particular about every bite was sort of being more less perfect. This is a good go to for a quick breakfast or lunch but it's nothing to write home about read more

Old school bagel cafe has one of the best bagels I've ever ate. Would most definitely recommend this to everyone else who lives in Norman.

Recently discovered the cinnamon rolls here and let me just say, complete game changer! I buy it in store then bring it home and microwave it for a short time, the icing melts and gets so ooey gooey cream cheesy. It's what dreams are made of. I've always loved their bagels, sandwiches and cream cheese, but now I want to go every single day for a cinnamon roll! I usually get the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on Asiago bagel with bacon, onion and chive cream cheese; so yummy! But now all I want is the cinnamon roll. Highly recommend getting a hot bagel sandwich to eat there and a cinnamon roll to go! read more

Lots of options. Really liked my breakfast bagel but definitely a standard bagel you could get anywhere, it didn't really stand out. But I did enjoy this place and there's options for breakfast and lunch. read more

Easy and quick. I'm so glad they had gluten free options available! the bagels had alot of flavor and were very filling. We tried the meat lovers bagels so good! read more

Bagels galore, it's like Panera but a little better. I got a brick town bagel, it was great as a brunch sandwich. My coworkers who came with me got a little sand which and soup, they didn't seem to enjoy it all that much, but I thought it was good. Good service, pretty clean dining area, and the staff were nice. We were here by chance but I think I might come back if I'm in the area. read more

Very good bagels and coffee. VERY generous amount of lox on my bagel. Breakfast sandwiches are also quite tasty. Coffee is good and the small cup is actually a medium at most chains like DD. My go to bagel place when in Norman. read more

Note: I was drawn to O.S.B.C. because I have been to the location in Tulsa, OK on Peoria Ave. which has amazing cookies, amazing selection, and great atmosphere. This was a different experience. Food: 2/5. The point of creating a "chain" is because you are ensuring a consistent product. The cookie selection was weak, had 2 different types to choose from. The PB cup cookie which I have gotten a couple times in Tulsa is incredible. The one at this location tasted different, had a different texture. My friend got a bbq sandwich served on an Asiago bagel. She has ordered this same sandwich in Tulsa as well. It tasted like a different sandwich and she did not enjoy it. The bagel itself was delicious, however, the top of the bagel is not needed for these sandwiches, it is too much. They would be great served open-faced topped with ingredients, etc. Décor/Ambiance: 2/5. Lacking big time. Just no vibe really. A few booths and tables. Service: 4/5. Nothing special but nothing to complain about either. Good crew of people working here. Would I return to this location? No Would I return to the Tulsa location on Peoria? Yes read more

It's crazy this place exists in Norman. Bagels are sooo good, and they are very generous with cream cheese portions. Comparable to Zabar's! Good coffee too. read more

The Bagels are really good and fresh. Get it toasted with cream cheese...yum! The staff is super friendly.

Can't lie, I get pretty excited every time I drive past this place and wish I could have time to grab a bagel. Well, today is the day and it feels like my birthday. I expected it to be pretty busy with coworkers grabbing a bite to eat together or college students swinging by to get some brain food. I unfortunately didn't get to park right in front of the business, but around the corner in a mutual parking lot for the other businesses to share next door. I walked in and HOLY CANNOLI it was freezing in there! Ah suck it up, I tell myself, I'm getting it to go anyways. But, I was impressed with the large space with plenty of seating, a tv and wifi area, and big open windows surrounding half the restaurant with a good view of Main St. to people watch. Then my eyes just glued to the menu boards above me and I was back in the zone. Bagels. Everywhere. Over 12 different kinds, with the Bagel of the Month being Spinach Parmesan. Fresh baked cookies, apple and cherry turnovers, Lox, cream cheeses, honey butter, muffins...I'm getting indecisive. Well no I'm not, I'll go with a bagel breakfast sandwich. So, I decided I'd get the Meat Lover's Bagel with bacon, ham, sausage, egg, and white cheddar cheese on a bagel of your choice. They have other lunch bagels, which I thought were unique because some had roast beef on them, or BLT on a bagel...etc. I also got a medium cafe mocha and settled down at a table to wait for my to go order. BTW, the staff didn't seem too enthused to be at work, almost borderline hating life. But whatever I just wanted to get a bagel, not bring someone on a date here. I only waited about 4 minutes for my food, then I was out of there to race home to try the deliciousness. Sooo coffee was meh, it's a coffee. But the bagel hit the spot, and wasn't greasy at all with all the breakfast meat. A+ on bagel, B- on coffee, C on service. read more

Delicious jalapeño cheddar veggie bagel sandwich Good service. I go all the time nowadays

Fresh, home made perfect chewy bagels. Sandwiches are made to order, and they don't skimp on them! I highly recommend the Wasabi Bomb or the Lox on their toasted Everything Bagel. My hubby loves their plain bagels and croissants, but they have a variety of bagels to try. They will also mix up shmeer for you in the spot read more

I come here some mornings on my way to school and I'm usually in and out. Every time I order a bagel and lox, open faced. But surprisingly, every time I get it, it's different? It's kind of a game to see how they'll do it this time. Will it be opened faced with only one bagel spread? Or will it be both? Perhaps it'll just come as a sandwich? Maybe one morning it'll just be a bagel. Who knows. Not once have they been consistent. If I actually cared I suppose I would say something but I don't. It's a bagel. Whatev. I get oily bean bath here (aka coffee but I have my phone auto correct it to oily bean bath) and it's not too good. But I don't like oily bean bath so I'm biased. Maybe it's really good? I don't know. Regardless, the service is always very nice and helpful. Order an open faced bagel and lox and let me know how it goes! read more

two stars bc the bagels do go hard but actually the rudest workers in all of norman for sure. Don't bother ordering coffee it's gross. The workers at the tulsa locations are always dope but the ones on main ruin the vibe read more

I've only been here once but I had a good experience! The line was long (to the door) and the service seemed slow because I probably waited for 25 minutes in line. After I got to the register & ordered, my food came fast. Fun place to go for breakfast or lunch! read more
