Worth the drive for me (about 40 minutes) for the amazing food and coffee. The owner/staff go above and beyond and the place is fun to just sit and chill in. Cute ambience and delectable bagel sandwiches. I haven’t had the pleasure of trying a salad yet, but on my last visit, I saw one ordered and I definitely want to try one soon. Amazing portion sizes and an incredible array of choices.

Bagels & Boba has a wide menu of scrumptious breakfast and lunch options, drinks, coffee and hot beverages and much more. This is my fourth or fifth visit here and it always works well for a casual business meeting! The atmosphere is always calm yet pleasantly upbeat. I recommend 10 out of 10 times!

YUM! the bagel breakfast sandwiches are absolutely amazing! it’s a cute and cozy vibe it feels like grandmas house in here in a good way. they have a couch that i lounged on that was really comfy. the bagels are so fresh- got the jalapeno cheddar bagel with egg and cheese and chive & garlic cream cheese and it was absolutely amazing. their cold brew is bold and bodied which drinking it black is just what i look for!

Staff here are very pleasant. Their matcha drinks were both very good. Not too sweet but plenty of flavor, although I could have used a little more lavender in mine.. but that’s just personal preference. The two bagels were very delicious. Their bagels are always fresh and big in size. Kind of reminds me of New York bagels. I’ve had their boba twice and while the boba is cooked well, the drink itself has been too sweet even when I’ve asked for less sugar. But also, that can always just be a personal preference. I got 3 bagels to go as they freeze well for a couple months. They also have flavored cream cheese and their bagels are a variety of flavors as well. Stop in if you’re in the area!

TLDR; First time here and I’m already planning my next order for when I go back. I’ve been seeing this place pop up on my maps for the longest time, and now that I work within a ten minute drive, I finally carved out some extra time for breakfast. I ordered the Lox of Love sandwich on a French toast bagel and the Mango Jasmine tea with crystal fruit jelly. I really want to try the London fog and a bagel with birthday cake cream cheese. I also really liked the art wall in the back! The atmosphere was surprisingly cozy. Thanks for making my Wednesday morning a bit brighter!

Wow, what an amazing bagel sandwich! The chicken yum yum was excellent. Already thinking about the next time I can order it, but there are lots of other things I want to try on the menu!

The bagel sandwich is great with fresh ingredients and they have a ton of drinks options and boba tea flavors. Even inside is spacious then I expected. This place will be my go-to brunch place!

Super cute spot! The cold brew was delicious as was my breakfast bagel sandwich! I loved all the plants! 8/18/23: the new brown sugar shaken espresso drink is so so so good and I love the French toast bagel!
