Review The Bagel Joint - Tucson

Dude, this place is awesome! 14 bagels to a dozen! Boiled NYC style and they freaken have NUTELLA CREAM CHEESE! Are you kidding me? The people that work there are from the East Coast and are cool AF.

I am from New Jersey and I know bagels. Excellent quality, service, and prices. Very good coffee too. If there is a better bagel in Tucson I do not know of it.

My client is a new Yorker who was bragging about these bagels for days. So I went to try it myself and yup...they're something else. Gotta try it for yourself. Sit down seating in there as well as easy grab and go.

Good bagels, friendly service, never a line. Bagels are much better than Brueggers (too hard and chewy) or Einstein Bros (too soft). These are supposedly Boston style although as I've never been to Boston I cannot confirm. What I can say is that this is the closest to a New York bagel shop as exists in Tucson and is my favorite place for bagels in Tucson.

I ordered the Bagel & Lox, OMG! I personally love salmon, in any form, but this bagel though, was the best bagel sandwich I have ever had. Let start with the bagel, it saw so fresh the bagel it self would of been enough, so soft as well but also sturdy to hold a sandwich, I had the everything bagel. The taste of the everything bagel on its own was delicious. Now the Bagel & Lox sandwich, so the salmon was perfectly smoke, the salmon was creamy and savoury, just how salmon should taste. The capers really complimented the whole creaminess of the sandwich well, the onions and tomato gave it a refreshing balance with it mild acidity. Over the BEST Salmon sandwich I have ever had. Would be a must for any salmon lovers out there. My girlfriend ordered the strongman she love it, I had a bite and it was delicious. Now the staff, well they care. I called in a order ahead of time, I also ordered a Boston dozen and they recommend I pick them out when I get there because they want to make sure I got the freshest bagels possible. They are really busy when they are open so all the employees were working on all the orders. My order was ready in 5 minutes great fast service. Ok I still give them 5 stars and would recommend them to anyone, the only thing I saw that could use some attention was there was some cobwebs in both corners of the front entrance and a tile was misplaced on the ceiling. The rest of the facility was clean though, that was my only criticism. Love this place can't wait to go back.

Finally made it to "The Bagel Joint". I've driven by so many times telling myself that I have to try out their bagels. So I did. The bagels are nice and fluffy, flavorful, and in my view these are the best bagels in town. Bon apatite! Enjoy!

Ordered to go, was made very promptly even with a line out the door and after getting home, I just took a bite and almost lost my mind over the perfect boiled and toasted crunchy crust. I haven't had this since Brooklyn Bagels was in town and before that, back home in Jersey. Excellent job! Definitely coming back for more.

the Best boiled Bagels ever. The lox is always the freshest we have ever experienced in our 49 years together. The coffee is good. Everything is always fresh. There are a lot of choices on their menu.. They have fresh salads and a variety of sandwiches. It is a fun and great place. Don and Sharon Mercado

The Lox & Cream cheese, with the works, was great. My wife & I split one on a toasted plain bagel. It's a quality fresh water bagel & surprisingly filling for both of us. Their apple, cinnamon and walnut bread for dessert topped it all off. We live in the far Northeast side but we definitely will be back when conducting business in the area. Very friendly people.

More like Jiro dreams of bagels... Our new favorite bagel spot! “If ain’t boiled then it ain’t a bagel.” We’re a mixed family of native Tucsonans, new arrivals and transitioning east-coasters who randomly saw the Bagel Joint van on the road and tried this on a whim. Of all the fancy sandwiches anyone can get around town, a simple everything bagel alone will blow your mind. True story: We went in this morning for the second time for a couple of everything bagels that were still going to be in the oven for ten minutes. After I told her we’d wait (because it was worth it!) the young lady helping me offered to take my order and let me pay before I waited outside. My partner decided to go get gas, so when we got back I went to the counter to check on our order, but instead our cashier had waited to cut and load our bagels fresh when I walked in the door, so that they could be absolutely perfect when I walked up. It’s that kind of personal touch that every business needs to make us newcomers feel like family. A++!!

Bagels Where different sizes some where fresh so they were not baked at same time they have a machine. So I don't know what happened I got there when they opened but as usual they make a decent bagel. Better than anyone else in az. I'm from New York there is no comparison but I'll still be a customer

This guy KNOWS HIS BAGELS. My girlfriend and I have fallen in love with this place, the owner has such a friendly approach to life, we always so welcome in his store. Let's get down to brass tacks though, how are the bagels? Damn amazing. I don't know what he does, but they have a special bagel recipe going on there, that keep the bagels moist on the inside, and firm on the outside. All the flavors are just on point, and he does not skimp out on his bagel sandwiches. My personal favorite thing there is the Arizona strong man on a jalapeno bagel. My girlfriend goes for the classic onion bagel with jalapeno cream cheese. if you haven't been, this place is an amazing way to start your day. Oh, and a chat with the owner, he is sure to give you a laugh.

By far, the best place for bagels in town! Their cream cheeses are varied and the sandwiches are bomb. Sometimes the line is long, but the wait is always short. The owner and staff are all super nice. And there's coffee! If I'm not here once at least once a week, I feel like there's something missing in my life.

The best bagels in Arizona, for sure. Claire's in Catalina uses the Bagel Joints fresh bagels for their Lox and Bagels breakfast menu item and we fell in love with them immediately. Claire shared her secret and now we buy them direct from the Bagel Joint by the Boston baker's dozen (14) and can hardly wait to get home and toast 'em up. Their breakfast sandwiches are excellent as well as everything else that we've tried on our bi-weekly visits. Oh, and even more amazing, these people are friendly, patient, and go out of their way to give you what you want. Bingo !!

This place was recommended by a friend who lives on the opposite side of town from the location. He raved about the bagels so Ihad to try them. He was spot on! The bagels were wonderful. Incredible flavor, and that's saying a lot for a plain bagel. The service was super friendly. Will definitely be returning.

Best bagels in Tucson by far. Can be a bit of a wait at times, but definitely worth it if you like traditional bagels that are chewy on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside. I really like the onion and everything bagels!

The salt bagel is where it's at! This is by far our favorite place in town for a breakfast sandwich. The brownies are pretty amazing too! Mike, the owner, is a great guy and always treats us right. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great service. Born and raised in MA, Love the menu! Good iced coffee and can not wait to have the bagels! ��

The Bagel Joint has the best bagels in Southern Arizona....and we've tried many different shops. If you really want a great bagel, venture out to The Bagel Joint and you'll keep going back....I promise!

Finally! Tucson has a quality, independently owned bagel shop!! Beautiful, plump bagels, awesome veggie cream cheese and the prices are more than reasonable. So happy this place exists!!! So delicious!!! :D :D :D

Awesome bagels and cream cheese, so fresh! Glad I happened upon this shop. This will be where I get my bagels from now on.

The best bagels and homemade cream cheese ever!!!!

The bagels were absolutely delicious! Our new favorite bagel spot.

Fresh. Authentic. Local. That's all you gotta say. Great bagels, really good prices, super friendly staff. I love this place! You need to drop in and have a bagel, best in town!

We come all the way from Green Valley once a month to get our bagel fix they're that good.

Delicious. Fair prices. No frills. Won't go anywhere else for my bagel fix now.

Love it,love it, Love it. Sweet people, wonderful bagels, and best iced coffee I ever had

My wife brought me the AZ Strongman, it is now my favorite breakfast bagel/sandwich in Tucson. Owner is awesome! I just need to cycle through the different bagels to taste them all. Brownies and muffins are also amazing!

Bruce "the Jackalope Man" Larkin loves this place. Thank God that someone is finally selling real bagels in Tucson!

The best Bagel Joint in Tucson. Love the new jalapeno cream cheese.

Salt bagels for days. Hands down my favorite bagel of all time. No cream cheese. No toasting. Just the bagel. Don't need anything else on it to be that good.
