Best Lox Bagel Sammie in town. The Dark and Dirty is addictive!

They have the best vegan cream cheese I've ever had! I had the vegan cinnamon hazelnut cream cheese on a plain bagel.For non-vegan options, I liked the roasted garlic and rosemary cream cheese on a sesame bagel.We dined in. They quoted a 30 minute wait time but it was about a 10 minute wait on a Sunday around noon.

Not Dog Friendly, bagels are overpriced, probably good place to try but not an everyday place

Be ready to stand in line or order ahead of time. This place is busy and for good reasons. The bagels, cream cheese selections and sandwiches were all amazing.

Ordered the avocado toast with vegan scallion cream cheese. Was absolutely delicious. The toast was crispy, the avocado was plentiful, pickled radish was delicious. Would visit again.

I think this is the best cream cheese I have ever had. I got a pumpernickel bagel with birthday cake cream cheese which I know sounds like a weird combination but trust me, it worked so well.The bagel was a little bit dense and hard to chew at times, but I think that’s just because I ordered pumpernickel. Compared to H&S Bagels they’re a lot smaller and not as fluffy, but to me what really shone through was the customer service here.I wasn’t expecting that much customer service at a busy bagel shop, but a server came by and checked in on me and asked if I wanted extra napkins, which was a really nice gesture. Also the expected wait time they told me was 20 mins, but my bagel came out in like 10ish minutes which was nice.I can’t wait until the next time I visit :)

The food was decent, but what was disappointing was that my mom wanted to take her cream soda in a to go cup, but when we asked for one, where told they didn’t have any. As we looked around, one table had an iced coffee in a plastic to go cup, but when asked if we could have one, the waitress said that was only for coffee. Then, I had my hot coffee in a to go cup and we again asked for that cup to use as a to go cup, but, again, was told that was for coffee only. Very weird policy and the waitress wasn’t too friendly about the situation. Very disappointed after a decent meal.

What a great place! My husband and I were visiting family in Nashville for two weeks and they recommended this bagel spot. We’ve gone 4-5 times and have loved it! Great location, nice atmosphere, the food is delicious and service spectacular. Thanks for having vegan options (the vegan scallion cream cheese is amazing!)A special shout out to one of the team hospitality members - unfortunately I forgot to ask her name but we had spoken with her a few times and she always made us feel incredibly welcome — and that honestly is one of the reason we came back so often - she recognized us, welcomed us, chatted a moment…. Those things go a long way. Apologies on not getting her name - she was a lovely lady with a slight Spanish accent and is perhaps the kindest person you could ever meet.

Not everything is everyone’s cup of tea, seeing some negative reviews… I personally found our picks to be worth the wait. We all got bagel sandwiches that were delicious. But it did take about 45 min from walking in to getting our food, plus there didn’t seem to be a solid system of getting orders out. We ended up taking ours over to a business next door that was closed (Sunday) to eat, because you could barely move inside. So if you’re not one for lack of crowd control, probably wouldn’t recommend.

Heather the owner was AMAZING. She gave us so many specialized recommendations and I tried things I would have never had before. The birthday cake bagel with the egg bagel = heaven. The bialy with the Gouda, bacon and spicy ketchup with a hash brown = need it every day.

Always crowded, but worth the wait. On Belmont campus. We moved from NJ & these are just like the bagels we are used to. Staff is great. Parking can be tricky during busy times.

Pop tart good, cream cheeses ok, bagels bad. The few reviews claiming they’re like NY bagels - I’ve no idea what they’re talking about.

40 min wait for 8 bagels and received the wrong order. Order online or go somewhere else they cater to online orders.

the food wasn't really worth the wait. it was good, but it wasn't worth 15 min in line then 30 min of waiting for it. the service was initially horrible, the lady at the counter kept telling me what i could/could not have based on my dietary restrictions. for example, i told her i wanted hot chocolate with oat milk, and she said it was made with heavy cream. i told her that was fine since i had lactaid pills, but she refused to let me order it. she tried to get me to order coffee instead, which i told her i did not drink, but she wouldn't listen. i ended up giving up and just telling her id get tap water. BUT everyone else was SO FRIENDLY AND SWEET. SHOUT OUT ZACH !!!
