NERVOUS CHARLIE'S BAGELS REVIEWS

overall a very solid experience at nervous charlie’s! it was definitely very busy, and the wait time was a bit long, but the wait was worth it for our tasty lox bagel! service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. i think next time we would utilize the online ordering to order ahead.

Stopped in at random on my way home from a paintball event. Bagels were crunchy on the outside soft and moist on the inside, and the fillings were fantastic. Place was very busy with the Sunday brunch crowd but we still got our order in about 5 minutes. Highly recommend.

Delicious bagels and cream cheese. Pretty busy Sunday morning 10:30 but they were slinging out orders quickly. Expect a wait and you’ll be able to get a table eventually. Ingredients were delicious. Highly recommend.

WHOLY BAGEL REVIEWS

I had a great experience at this café that specializes in breakfast, bagels, and sandwiches. The location is convenient, and the outdoor seating area is perfect for enjoying a meal. Even though there was quite a line, the staff worked efficiently, and we were served surprisingly fast. We opted for the bagels and loved the concept of building our own. There was a wide variety of options to choose from, and the result was absolutely delicious. The bagels themselves were fresh and flavorful, and the ingredients were of high quality. We were really happy with our meal. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. Great service, delicious food, and a nice atmosphere – definitely worth a visit!.

I placed my order online for a “build your own,” and it was sooo good. It was a quick pick up but I was greeted upon entry and everyone from the team looked energetic and friendly. Also I liked the fact that my order was ready before the pick up time. Definitely will be back.

Best bagels in town. True New York style bagels. Love the selection of cream cheeses. I had Texas loaded, my wife had blueberry, and my daughter had strawberry. Every one was fantastic.

ROCKSTAR BAGELS REVIEWS

Great bagels! We visited on a busy Saturday morning and only waited 20 minutes for our order. They have an order window with a decent amount of outdoor seating. The everything bagel with plain cream cheese was a lovely classic. My friend enjoyed their bagel breakfast sandwich. The servers were so kind and polite and patient.

Rockstar bagels is always killing the game. Best bagel shop in town hands down and no competition. Love being able to order ahead and customize to my personal preferences. Highly recommend ordering ahead especially on weekends when wait times can be on the longer side.

One of my fav bagel shops in Austin! So yummy with a a couple of vegan spreads, veggie patty for protein. Love the everything bagel so much. I only wish there was more shade over the picnic tables.
