We really loved this place. Super family friendly and all around good vibes and a chill place to go on a Saturday morning. We came in around 9:30 and it didn't seem like they ran out of anything yet. Bagels are very good and lots of fun options. The coffee isn't great. Will definitely be coming back!

These bagels are amazing, best in Nashville without a doubt. Sun dried tomato cream cheese on cheddar jalapeño is the way to go. It gets packed on weekends, so be sure to come early.

I got to check this place out because of the Good Coffee Crawl. Their bagels are fresh and delicious. I recommend going earlier in the day so you have more selections as they sell out of bagels quickly! Their coffee crawl latte was delicious! I loved it so much. I would highly recommend and want to come back for a lunch bagel option. I will say the person who took my order seemed uninterested in talking with me while I ordered. She seemed rushed and didn't really want to interact with me. Besides that I enjoyed what I ordered and I would come back.

Enjoying my cappuccino, waiting for bagel sandwich order. It's a Saturday morning and is a very crowded place. Order was an easy one, but waiting for a food prep required a patient. At least I have my cappuccino ready. Cappuccino is a very well done. Ambience is cozy indoor, but I prefer outdoor seating anytime.

Had to update my 2021 review after a visit last weekend because it's such different business now! We lived in Crieve Hall 2016-2021. And while we lived there, there weren't too many businesses that we could visit or support in the neighborhood (we even lost a few to that enormous gas station in 2020 or 2021). Crieve Hall Bagel was just opening up as we were moving away from Crieve Hall and Nashville, and I so wish it had been there for all our Crieve Hall/Nashville years! When I first visited in 2021, it was still operating as a to go business. I was given bagels that weren't sliced with small containers of cream cheese to assemble ourselves. Definitely a to go window operation at that time! But it's not the same business now a few years later - they've really expanded, and it was so wonderful and impressive to see how their operation and business has grown! When we visited this past weekend, we found a large space with great indoor and outdoor seating, great (very friendly and helpful staff), and a large variety of bagels and toppings. The space is truly lovely - bright, clean, spacious! I had an everything bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese (which is adventurous for me - I'm pretty traditional when it comes to bagels), which I really enjoyed. I do think their menu leans more non traditional than traditional when it comes to bagel flavors, cream cheese options, and toppings. For example, for bagels, the traditional flavors include everything, plain, salt, and sesame (but no rye, pumpernickel, egg, sesame, marble, etc.), while they have more of the (to me) non-traditional and sweet flavors: blueberry, cheddar, chocolate chip, cinnamon sugar, jalapeño cheddar, etc. And they do offer lox, capers, red onion, tomato, and cucumber, if you want to create a traditional bagel with lox. But they only offer lox, whereas another bagel shop in town might be a pain to visit but offers more seafood options (whitefish, pastrami lox, belly lox, etc.). Crieve Hall Bagels does offer a lot of what I consider more modern, less traditional toppings like chicken sausage, hashbrowns, pork sausage, Swiss cheese, avocado, vegan sausage, etc. (Full disclosure: I'm Jewish, so what I consider traditional for a bagel is definitely guided by that - the classic NYC bagel options are what I think of and what I want when I'm eating a bagel. But I get that not everyone is that traditional about bagel toppings and prefer a wide range of things from jam to avocado to pizza toppings. So this isn't a criticism of Crieve Hall Bagels when I say they lean less traditional when it comes to bagel options. It's just a factor to consider when you're thinking of where to order or pick up a bagel!) I'm so happy that Crieve Hall Bagels is doing well in our old neighborhood. I'm so thrilled that Crieve Hall has a great locally-owned business like this! Would be thrilled to visit on my net visit back to Nashville! Definitely stop by and support this great local business if you're nearby - or even if you're not!

I cannot, not have my weekly bagel (and cinnamon roll) fix on a weekly basis . The jalapeño and cheddar bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese, lox, cucumber, red onion and tomato has a spell on me. I have to have it. Then a cinnamon roll for the family to split bc it's HUGE but honestly the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. Everything is sour dough based, the tang of the sour dough, the insane amount of cinnamon and the cream cheese frosting- ohhh my! Last week, I tried the 'summer Stache' iced coffee which was an iced coffee with a pistachio cold foam- part of the summer menu ::::chefs kiss:::: I can't leave this review without a major shot out to the entire staff- friendly, patient and consistent (my bagel is made the same, perfect way, every time). Please, for goodness sakes be patient when there is a line. We all know it's worth every second of the wait. They are moving as fast as they can. If you get annoyed about this, order ahead (the cute pick up window is there so you don't even have to wait in line!) or Uber eats and never leave your house.

I'm always searching for the great local bagel. In Austin, I was a huge fan of Rock Star Bagels, but in Nashville have been just ordering online from trusted NYC locations. So Crieve Hall had been on my short list to try, as they keep coming up as the best in Nashville. It's a pleasant location in strip shopping, just off of 255 and I-65, so pretty convenient. Parking's decent, particularly with all the coming and going. While Crieve Hall's bagels aren't authentic NYC, their sourdough is a delightful variation. The cheddar and jalapeno in particular have such a wonderful crunch, though they all have a nice crispy crust, and the jalapeno has some excellent truly spicy bites. They have my vote for local bagel.

I want to love this place and I will try again but I had a sad experience on Easter morning. I ordered Avocado toast on a rosemary bagel and sat outside to enjoy our breakfast. Well this is a beautiful meal but it is also hard to pick up and eat, so I tried using the plastic cutlery to cut through and give me less messy bites but I literally couldn't! So I quit , closed up the box, waited until I got home and used my stainless steel to cut it and eat it. But it was delicious. I loved the capers and presentation. Then I needed to use the restroom, I noticed there is only one. It was occupied so I waited several long minutes and gave up- held it and went home. There were many people here at this busy cafe so I couldn't believe there was only one restroom. I'll return and try something easier to eat next time. The staff are nice. Plenty of parking, too.

Looks like I'm trying out all the hype bagel places in nashville. Anyway, came in on a early rainy weekday and still a decent amount of people coming through. I got a sandwich and a bagel with plain cc. The fig and pig was very yummy. The flavor and texture combos were top notch. Who wouldn't love bacon, fig, whipped feta, arugula on a crispy bagel. Their special of the day was a cacio e pepe bagel and wow I was surprised how much I liked it. The parm and pepper flavors were very prominent and was perfect with plain cc. I will say, these bagels are different than what I would call traditional bagels. These are thinner and seem naturally crunchy on the outside despite not being toasted vs proper bagel who has fluffy and chewy bagels. Depends on preference. Both are good. Friendly staff, nice parking lot, orders are quick to come out!

I went in here to try the place out. After the debacle that was Proper Bagel (no parking, busy, crazy, not enough staff to accommodate the demand, not enough space to accommodate demand etc etc), I wanted to try it here. They open at 0630 and I was among the first in line. I guess there is a high demand here too. But they have a big parking lot that you don't have to pay for, and ample seating. I got the everything bagel BEC (Bacon egg cheese). I went through the line and ordered and paid. I sat down to wait. The order comes out in a white paper sac, and you just walk up to the counter and collect it. I sat inside and ate it. The only complaint I have is the egg seemed to be very well done, like it was a little on the hard side. It was a folded scrambled egg. The sandwich itself was $7.70 before tax. The restrooms are clean and neat and modern.
