Delicious food, especially their #1 with Taylor Ham! They have a wide New York style bagels with cream cheese or with eggs. Hands down best bagel sandwiches in Northwest Hills, and I would even saw Austin! Lyle is so wonderful supporting our community. See you guys Thursday! read more

I was surprisingly not that impressed with this place which was a shame cause I was super excited to grab breakfast here. I got an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and honestly told my friend that I'd prefer an everything bagel from Dunkin donuts. I think the everything bagel was way too salty. But when I was trying the cream cheese (veggie and scallion - I really enjoyed the scallion - if I was back in the area I think I'd give it another go with a different type of bagel) but then again the bagel itself was really tough to bite through not sure if I'll be back read more

Simply amazing. I grew up in the great white north, in Jewish communities and eating a lot of bagels. When I moved to Austin I was dejected to realize I lived in what must be one of the worst bagel deserts in the country. I spent the next few years feeling like G-d had smote me for leaving behind my yankee people. I went in today on the first day the business was open and met the owners. Wholy Bagel delivered on an amazing product and great customer service. Went with the egg and blueberry bagels, which were pitch perfect. Highly recommend their veggie cream cheese it is amazing and just garlicky enough. read more

The absolute best! Spot on for what's NY style bagel should be. It is SUPPOSED be tough on the outside and chewy inside and this place absolutely nails it! Perfect NY style. Great lox. The Italian is about the best sandwich on the planet! read more

The best bagel west of the Pecos. OK, so it's not really west of the Pecos, but for sure Wholy Bagels makes the best bagel west of the Brazos and east of the Colorado (our Colorado, not that Colorado) Seriously their rye bagel is the best, any where. And anybody that says otherwise is lower than a NYC snake, pardner. read more

I heard such great things about this place, and they were all a let down. Just an average bagel, this will be about what you expect a bagel to be, and nothing more. I wish they put more schmear and also waited for the bagels to cool a bit so that it doesn't just melt like butter into the bagel when you get it. It's fine, just fine. But literately any other place would do just as well. read more

Costumer service was great. The bagels were absolutely amazing. If you're ever looking for New York style bagel this is the place to go.

I am glad this place isn't just super south anymore. It's nice to have edible bagels in the Austin area. Better than Rockstar in my opinion.

Nice location and Tasty food clean store but employees should wear gloves when preparing food!

Well I am a native New Yorker who has been eating bagels since I was a little boy. I travel extensively for business and Austin is a regular stop for me. As a result I was looking for a place to buy breakfast specifically a bagel breakfast sandwich that did not taste like it came out of the frozen food section. I was extremely pleased to run into Wholy Bagel. The sandwiches are fantastic cooked fresh on the grill with a perfectly done bagel. The bagel choices are terrific as are the meats and cream cheeses, what could be better. The staff is efficient and friendly and the stores offer a comfortable atmosphere. If you are a bagel person this clearly is the place to go in Austin, Texas. read more

So if you want a real bagel in Austin you go to Wholy bagel. When I travel to New York I appreciate a great bagel. They have the same quality bagels there. They have a nice assortment of sandwiches and their portions are very generous. I'm not a small man but 1 bagel and egg sandwich filled me up. If you like everything bagels, you'll thank me for this. Lyle the manager is very friendly. read more

Yum! Had a craving and wanted to support local business. That Angry Texan cream cheese is no joke! Super spicy and the spinach asiago bagel was the bomb! read more

honestly, we love this place - and it's really good - but haven't had a great experience with customer service the handful of times we have been. today while ordering and waiting for my food, which surprisingly i discovered was not toasted when i got home, a younger employee slammed the phone down, said "jesus christ" and proceeded to complain non-stop about a customer out loud. i understand it was a sunday but everyone looked they were being held hostage working at this location against their will this particular shift. a customer should never come in and feel like ordering food is an inconvenience to the entire staff. i wish the energy matched the food. read more

The Best Bagels in Austin- THANK YOU! The bagels were crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside when toasted. The flavor was perfect. The ladies at the counter were very helpful and friendly. This is the bagel I have been missing since I left New York City. read more

We have loved wholly bagel. I come in and buy a Texas Dozen and large cheese cheese at least twice a week. However, today, I rushed across town and arrived at 2:40 (I know you close at 3) and was refused service. I was told they were closed and proceeded to lock the door in my face at 2:40. If I owned this store, I would want to know that my employee closed early and lost business. It's really unfortunate, because my boys loved your bagels. read more

Bagels are delicious! The selection is great. Never ordered something I didn't love. Their hot bagel sandwiches are the best. The guys in there are super sweet and in a good mood. Only negative is it's a pretty long wait as they are always busy, but I'm sure those kinks will work out over time. read more

Very yummy prices a little high but I will say I was greeted extremely kindly and because I was new I never felt awkward about what to order. Only reason I'm giving it one less star is because of the prices and they where out of my egg bagel I love buttt all in all very yummyyyyy!!!!!!! read more

Best bagel in town, hands down. As close to NY/ NJ bagels as you're gonna get in the ATX! I won't get my supply anywhere else, ever - never ever ever! read more

Went here for the first time today and like others have noted on yelp, we noticed NO ONE wearing gloves or hair protection! It was rather disgusting to see the workers pawing the entire bagel and all the fixings. I saw the owners addressed this in one of the reviews but I don't think this hand washing policy is nearly as vigorously enforced as they say. Workers were touching receipts, a stapler, a marker and worst of all their own nose, between prepping our bagels. NASTY!!! Given the number of reviews mentioning this why don't the owners just do BOTH? Wear gloves AND have a hand washing!? Not going back unless that changes. Just plain gross!! read more

We just started going here about a month ago. It's so delicious and reasonably priced! My husband and I both get an everything bagel with a fried egg, cheese, and sausage. It's definitely my favorite breakfast in Austin! Highly recommend! Especially during covid their online ordering and curbside is super easy and great! read more

I am a stickler for restaurant cleanliness. We tried Wholy Bagel this morning. I ordered an egg and cheese bagel sandwich. There were about 4-5 employees that I saw working behind the register/cream cheese bar/counter, NONE of which were wearing gloves when handling bagels or making sandwiches. One of the female employees was grabbing bagels out of the baskets, slicing them, wiping the counters with a rag, touching the counters, then touching the bagels, repeat, repeat, repeat. After getting my sandwich, there was minimal cream cheese and the eggs needed more seasoning. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? Toasted bagel, egg and cream cheese? Hmmm... Either way, I won't be returning. read more

Price but deliscous. In door seating would be nice, especially since The Italian tends to drip.

They need to be putting their hair up. There wasn't hair on my bagel but I read someone else found some on theirs and I'm not surprised. Menu was underwhelming and bagel was just okay. Even though it was not busy, it took 20 minutes to make my order. No calories calculations on menu and there's not even a menu board. Disappointed and will not be back. read more

I had to write a review after seeing some of the complaining reviews - these reviewers obviously have never been to NY or had a NY bagel. There is no relationship between a true NY bagel, and the bread with a hole in the middle that Einsteins and other national chains peddle. Wholy bagel makes true NY style bagels - boiling them first and then baking. So comparing them to chain style bagels is comparing apples to oranges. Kudos to smooth takeover from former owner Scott - much friendlier atmosphere, but Scott brought NY attitude to the shop which I miss. read more

45 minutes for 3 breakfast bagel sandwiches. Bagels are the best you can get for Austin but jeez a 45 minute wait is insane. Manage your process better. read more

People. These are not good bagels. These are day-old-Einstein's level bagels. I have no idea what people are raving about on here. I've been twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Bagels were not warm. Not fresh. Bland. Coffee is not bad for bagel shop coffee. read more

Quick stop for lunch, but I'll be back. Everything was fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. Loved the sandwich options.

A coworker brought in the bagel breakfast sandwiches, and I immediately became a Wholy Bagel fan! The bagels are soft and flavorful and give the sandwiches a nice boost. I recommend the sausage (which had a nice spicy kick to it -- not too spicy, though) sandwich with with either American or cheddar on a sesame or everything bagel. read more

I went in not knowing what to expect and man was I blown away. The friendly staff took my order and even recommended a pastrami salmon (WHAT) for my lox bagel. In no time at all my order was in front of me and I was munching away. The bagels are made fresh every day which was obvious from the first bite. Every ingredient added to this absolutely astounding flavor experience. I even had to take some bagels to go along with a bottle of my favorite local beverage. I will be going back here for all of my bagel and sandwich needs whenever I find myself in Central Texas. read more

A piece of New York right in Austin. The bagels here are truly "New York Style". It's hard to decide which cream cheese to pick from, Texas Loaded or a more traditional vegetable. Bagels and sandwiches are great with fast and friendly service. read more

Love the new location of this Austin favorite! The place looks great, the service is friendly and efficient, and the bagels are excellent. Really enjoy the flavored cream cheese options. Most recently tried the Texas Loaded and it was delicious! read more

I would definitely put more stars if they let me! Best bagel I have had outside of NYC. I'm not a pro yelper nor do I leave many reviews. I'm just a normal person who was really impressed with these bagels! You can tell they're properly boiled and baked, soft and billowy on the inside and golden brown and nice n crispy on the outside. Especially after they've been toasted. I get breakfast sandwich with bacon and egg and I have eaten here every morning for a week or more because I'm now addicted. They have the best cream cheese selection I've ever seen, as well as a nice assortment of NY treats- get some of that Bronx style crumb cake if you want a new guilty pleasures. I don't know how this place isn't more popular but I'm so in love with it that I'm going to make sure and tell everyone I know that way this local staple sticks around for t he long run. Support local, this beats the heck out of the other corporate bagel options!!! read more

We have been fans of wholy bagel for years. Best bagel sandwich in Austin!! Blueberry bagel, egg , cheese, and sausage. Double Toasted yummmm!! read more

Decent, but not great bagels. Probably as good as any I've had in Austin.

These are the best bagels in town, hands down. Just wish they had gotten a larger space on Far West so they could have several tables and chairs to enjoy the food. read more

Definitely my favorite bagel place in Austin. Been here for the last 6 years and, being a New York native, I can be pretty picky when it comes to my bagels. I finally decided Wholy Bagel would be my go to after my first visit. All the food I've had has been great but the bagels are to die for. On top of all that the staff is amazing. This will definitely be my go to place! read more

Was at there door the day they opened and have been back at least once a week for lunch. The choices on your spreads and add- on are great. My favorite in the turkey Cajun. Great place fast and friendly read more

good bagels, staff seemed a little annoyed but it might be bc they seemed short staffed (probably due to covid, i'm annoyed too)
