Good Times Bagels is hands down my favorite bagel shop in Boise. I've been here plenty of times…read morenow, and it never disappoints. The wood-fired bagels make all the difference - you get that perfect crust on the outside and a chewy, flavorful center that feels like someone actually cared while making it. The space has character too. The art by Kylar Mertz on the walls gives the place a creative, local feel that makes it more than just a grab-and-go breakfast stop. Yes, there's usually a wait. But it moves, and honestly, it's worth every minute. When food is this good, a short line just feels like confirmation you picked the right place.

This was my first time coming here, and I was honestly pretty disappointed. My bagel was extremely…read morehard and difficult to chew, which made it hard to enjoy. I also ordered a brown sugar latte, but it tasted like plain black coffee with little to no sweetness or flavor. Overall, there just wasn't anything that stood out about this place. I was hoping for a better experience based on the reviews, but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. I personally prefer Blue Sky Bagels and will probably stick with them in the future. Sadly, we likely won't be back.

If you are craving a good bagel, you should go and check out blue sky bagels! I was having a get…read moretogether with friends in the morning and I got a dozen bagels. Felt like I needed a little more to start the morning so we got a couple of breakfast sandwiches, which gave me the fuel I needed to start the day. They did a surprisingly great job on the latte and mocha as well. The staff was so nice and made my latte just how I like it. All of my friends were very happy with the bagel options. I definitely recommend getting the honey walnut cream cheese and trying it out. I've been having it every day since because it's so delicious. Plenty of places to sit down and eat as well or can grab and go if you need to. I will definitely think the blue sky the next time I need a good morning treat for a group of people.

As the only response. They couldve said hey so this happens when u boil and egg, and i couldve said okay but smells like bad eggs and the entire underside of the yolk is black too, but instead i was just left feeling stupid :( left and didnt eat it If it is normal, thats fine but they just got defensive and made me feel stupid for being nervous. Its 2 teenage girls so idk if they know how to cook lol Sure this place is fine otherwise but this was my first experience here :((

I stopped by Blue Sky Bagels on a recent Friday morning with my husband…read more.. We stood in line at the register for awhile before being acknowledged and then figured out on our own that we needed to go to the other side of the counter to place our order. Once we made our way there, we waited a bit longer and then ordered a bagel toasted with salmon cream cheese -- and then back to the original line we were in to order an iced coffee with oat milk. Service was okay... not the friendliest (as others have said, perhaps a bit overwhelmed or shorthanded?) and the bagel and coffee were also just okay. I was hoping for better, but this place has potential and perhaps we were there on just an off morning. I would return if in the area and seeking a bagel, but probably would not go out of my way.

Here are some initial results from the great bagel search of Southern Idaho…read more The same Lox and bagel sandwich with two extra bagels that Freedom Bagel Bakery charged $17.46 was $12.43 at Blue Sky Bagels. Same stuff at both locations, onion bagel, lox, tomato, thin sliced red onion, cream cheese and capers. This sandwich did not have the huge saltiness of Freedom Bagel bakery. The difference of nearly $5 could be used to buy almost a dozen of "day old" bagels at Blue Sky. I liked the way Blue Sky Bagel sells their bagels the next day when they make too many. This is a very common practice with bagel shops across America. One has to wonder why Freedom Bagel Bakery didn't have some bags of "day old" bagels for sale during my visit. Could Freedom actually know exactly how many bagels to make? Because if they do, thousands of bagel shops across this country would love to know the secret. Hey, who can't eat a reheated, day old bagel? The cost is better and the taste is better than supermarket bagels, even the ones made in the market's bakery, like Albertson's. America, give up your supermarket bagels and shop your local bagel maker.

Pretty good bagels and this location is a lot better than the Nampa location. Service was goodread more

We didn't do our Sunday ritual today and go to Moon's downtown. My husband and I were out running…read moreerrands in Meridian so we decided to keep breakfast easy this morning and head to Sarah's bagel shop. I have been to the downtown location and had such a good experience there. The staff there was so friendly! Unfortunately, today's visit at it's sister location was not the same. Walking in, the joint is really bright and clean. I appreciate the huge menu boards of all their items. Everything looked so good at first glance in the display case. We hung out for a second going over everything when the employees started coming out. We weren't really greeted. No one really said hi. Finally a gentleman stood there to take our order. I got my husband's order taken care of. I still needed a minute and finally decided on my sandwich. And this is when things really started to go down hill. We stood at the counter waiting to pay. Waiting, waiting, standing there like a couple idiots. The young gal behind the counter let some other customer cut us off and pay for some random drinks. And then we just stood there. I asked the gal if she was going to ring us up and she said no. "Go sit down and you pay when you get your food". Well, that would have been nice to know if someone would have told us that in the first place. We finally paid for our order, got our food and a table. For brunch I grabbed a tasty turkey sammy on a croissant. My husband got a egg, ham and cheese on a croissant. We also snagged a couple smoothies. We got lemon mango and peach. Our sandwiches were nicely made. My sandwich had fresh veggies in it, a good amount of turkey and the herb cream cheese was savory. My husband devoured his breakfast sammy. The croissant was buttery and soft. It honestly was a great sandwich. If you're planning on selling boba in your teas, coffees and smoothies, please make sure the boba pearls are edible. It was amazing how many uncooked boba pearls were on the bottom of my smoothie. Hard, inedible pearls. How embarrassing. I didn't even order them in my smoothie but I got them. I paid for inedible boba pearls so make sure you specify if you want them or not. As gross as they were, I would recommend a hard no on the boba pearls. The smoothies itself were good. The lemon mango was refreshing even though it was thick and hearty. The peach smoothie was really tasty as well. They are gracious with their sizes. I got medium and barely drank half. I will say their smoothies are pretty legit. As good as the sammys were, I just can't get over the rude staff and my hard boba pearls. For me, I rate on the whole experience and I just can't go higher than a 2. Communication with your customers is so important and clearly this joint lacks it. So basic but not given here. I'll stick to the downtown location for my future Sarah's bagel visits from now on. I want to enjoy my food that's prepared by a nice staff.

I was definitely hungry and needed some sugar to help me run errands before I head home. I ordered warmed Assagio bagels with honey walnut cream cheese and That was phenomenal! I also ordered Every thing Bagel roasted pastrami sandwich for my husband to try. He loved it so much he can't wait to have more! Sadly he was so hungry that I was not able to take a picture. I also bought their great deal buy one bag, get one free bag, day old bagels! I got their Parmesan and Assagio, and on top of that, I got a tub of honey walnut cream cheese. Everything I bought was delicious, and the worker there was so nice, she was able to guide me on how things work. lol she was also able to tell me their best sellers and all that stuff. I'd love to come here again to try their other sandwiches!
