    The Bagelry, with locations in OTR and Oakley, is serving up fresh-baked bagels every day Their menu has all the classic staples you'd expect from a bagel shop, along with some unique and creative sandwich options. If you're craving a taste of a New York-style breakfast right here in Cincy, this is definitely the spot to check out! It's a solid option but I do wish maybe we added cream cheese or something to the bagel sandwich because it was pretty dry. Not much seating inside so a good spot to know that you would take it to go!

    Nice but quite small shop, the variety of bagels is not bad, but the bagels are very good. I've tried the everything bagel with avocado and onion and was delicious. It's a great spot to try if you're craving a bagel!

    Raclette & Ham
    Anna O.

    One of my favorite places to stop in on a weekend. It can get busy Saturday and Sunday morning but it is totally worth the wait. You can always order ahead online! This time I came for the colab with The Rhind and got the Raclette and Ham bagel. It was super good and great flavors. There was just a bit too much mustard for my liking, but other than that I loved it. On any other day I always get a sausage, egg & cheese breakfast bagel. It always hits the spot and I think they are pretty consistent with their orders and quality. I am always satisfied no matter what I get. Coming here after a night out or from a Saturday morning workout class is the move!

    I came in on a busy Saturday morning .. I got through the line promptly but I was very disappointed with my bagel . I got a blueberry bagel toasted with strawberry cream cheese .. the bagel just tasted sweet - it had no berries in it at all and the cream cheese wasn't very strawberry either. For a bagel place I would expect to be able to get a delicious toasted bagel with cream cheese but I was very mistaken. I honestly thought I was getting sick and lost my taste buds while eating this. I will say that my mom got a build your own sandwich that she said was delicious and well worth the price between the taste and the size.

    This is such a good place for breakfast in the morning. Super cost friendly and fast plus the people there are super nice and will answer any questions you might have. I got my food togo but there are a few seats inside to sit, most people get it togo tho. I ordered an everything bagel with geotta and bacon and egg and it was so delicious !

    I catered Bagelry for an international woman's day event at work and i will absolutely order again. I saw on Yelp that the business was female owned and I spoke to the female owner herself when I called to inquire about catering (we love you Colleen!). The order process was very easy, pickup went smoothly and it was a massive hit in the office. They were also very accommodating for food allergies and were able to prepare a gluten free bagel on the side for us at request. The catering menu was quite extensive and prices were very reasonable so I would highly recommend for any event!!

    Found this place close to our hotel! Cute little shop, great menu & delicious bagels!

    The Southwest on an Asiago bagel
    Doug K.

    Got two bagel sandwiches to takeout from here and was pretty disappointed after reading all of the great reviews. We got the the GECCO on an everything and the Southwestern on an Asiago. The everything bagel that the GECCO was on seemed to have many of the seeds burnt and the bagel itself seemed kind of soggy. The Asiago bagel was okay, just didn't have that exterior crisp that I was hoping for. The toppings on the sandwiches were good, but I was hoping for better bagels. Maybe it was just a fluke, we'll have to try them again for sure.

    The Bagelry is CLEARLY popular based on how busy it was during my visit, every time I drive by, and how many people are working on the food line during a shift. The whole process of ordering and receiving food was quick and easy. It's fun to be able to see the food being made. There is also a window near the back of the restaurant where you can see the bakery and the bagels being made/baked. Really cool. The menu is a good size. There is enough variety, but it's not overwehleming. My friends and I got 3 breakfast sandwiches and enjoyed them all. I got mine on a gluten free bagel. It was a bit dry, but did the job. The decor in the restaurant (and bathrooms) is simple and fun. There is no designated parking lot, but street parking was super easy to find.

    I'm hooked my third day since they opened, their bagels are delicious. Enjoying the multi grain with roasted veggies cream cheese the best. Also enjoyed a southwestern egg sandwich too. Welcome to Oakley!

    Picture this: you wake up on a Saturday morning with a slight headache and a dry mouth. How did a couple of after work drinks turn into this? Did you do jaeger bombs with your boss last night? Your tummy rumbles. You say to yourself, "I need carbs." Doctor Kyle prescribes you join the line of slightly hungover millennials and Gen Zers (gross) at The Bagelry. The price point makes these bagels a treat. But they're very good, and seasoned on both sides. They're generous with the toppings and cream cheese schmear. If the line is out the door, don't fret. They're professionals and it won't take that long. All of a sudden you're ready for buckets of beers at the Oak by noon.

I stopped by for a quick lunch during the week and wanted an easy to-go sandwich. They have a medium sized menu but a lot of different options which makes it a bit hard to pick haha! I decided on a reuben sandwich with all of the fixens inside. I was surprised that I was the only one in there because of the amount of rave reviews. It was a small quaint little place. The employees were suppperrrr nice and gave me a lot of time to think about my order. The vibes in there were very cool with fun music and just overall a good time. Now onto the Reuben. Holy cow! It was juicy and very flavorful, with the perfect amount of sauerkraut. The bread was toasty and the sandwich was nice and warm but not too hot. I think this will be a new spot for me for lunch!

Essentially for me I had waited too long to eat and the idea of waiting longer was a non starter for me. Sandwiches are not my go to food outside the house, it seems silly on some level. However, the sandwich I had was fantastic and well balanced. There was a good amount of everything without it being too much. Sometimes it's too much. This was great. They also had good, homemade or freshly made sides like potato salad and other salads you could get. It was great.

I had heard that their pop-up dinners sell out very quickly so I was ready the day they were posted and grabbed a few spots for one of their February dates. We arrived and were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and then we found a seat at the long community table set for 20; it was so much fun getting to know the people seated next to us! Dinner was delicious! Four courses-the gnocchi with sausage was our favorite dish of the night.

If you follow them on socials, you can score a seat at the pop-ups. The place is an old house with a lot of character. The food for carryout is fantastic and their bread is fantastic. We live in West Chester and have driven down to there a few times just to pick up delicious dinners. We just attended our first dinner there last Tuesday. Oh My Goodness! What a treat. Jordan greeted us with a glass of Prosecco and directed us where to sit a long table that seats 20. We introduced ourselves to our seatmates and then our first dish arrived. Chef does explain the food before we had each dish, however we wished there was more background and history as to how this place came into being. So expect fantastic food without a lot of details. The first dish was a salad made with all local ingredients. It was so fresh and the dressing made with fresh dill was fantastic. The second dish was a ravioli with northern Italian cheese on a bed of butternut squash puree and brown butter. The pasta was SO delicate and the flavors complimented each other so well. The third dish was a 6 hour braised pork shoulder with ricotta gnocchi in a sauce with Calabrian chilis and I don't know what else. We have been to Italy and all the Italian restaurants in Cincinnati and never had anything like this. It was truly phenomenal. Dessert was a apple upside down cake served warm with whipped cream...fantastic. You bring your own wine, and Jordan is on it by never letting your glass get empty, pouring water, and clearing dishes. Service was so great and she is so friendly and accommodating. The cost was a very reasonable $100/pp and SO worth it. There is no menu, so you go in just devouring what Chef has prepared.

Our experience was good, but seemed a little more low-frills than in past visits. We were served water once and then not again- sat without refills for most of the meal. We ordered quickly and the food came out fast! Our server came back to ask "had anyone taken payment yet?" And did so with a card reader right at the table, which felt a little clunkier but no big deal. The wonderful part of the food is the local sourcing. Everything is really high quality! The taste was just okay, I was a little underwhelmed but I enjoyed the lunch enough! I ordered the avocado toast. The bread was thin and a little soggy from what I think was the ember sauce, although I am not sure what that is as I didn't get a lot of flavor through! The egg and avocado were perfect with a yummy hemp heart topping. The salad took up most of the plate but was plain greens with a little dressing and celery pieces. A little bitter for most of the bites! I guess my expectations were a little higher for one of cincy's premier brunch places and I just found the meal "okay". Lastly, parking can be a challenge here! It's only paid street parking on the surrounding streets, but it's such a nice pretty area that parking and walking is often a lovely part of the experience.
