Alright guys listen up. If you haven't been to Bearded Bagel on 96th street, do yourself a favor and get on up there. I went there for the first time and it was perfection. I went with the Handy Andy on an everything bagel with chipotle cream cheese. It seriously checked off boxes I didn't even know I had. Staff was great and totally cool with customizing. A little tip tho. Sandwich comes HOT!! Open that foil wrap up and let it breathe for a couple minutes before you take a bite. Relax, maybe slowly take in the aroma. Imagine what it will taste like. But definitely don't make direct eye contact with it to assert your dominance. Because you will lose.

These are the best bagels I’ve had in my entire life, no joke. Super friendly staff and a great menu. I’ve tried several options but the Hot Rod is what I keep coming back to. Their bacon is top notch too. They’re killin it

Nice people, great sandwich.Bacon, egg and cheese on a cinnamon apple bagel. I believe it was a true NY style bagel. I really liked it.I’ll look for the truck and also stop here at the brick and mortar when I’m in the area again.Next to Sam’s Club gas station.

Nothing short of phenomenal. Seems more like a "to go" spot given basic seating arrangements and amenities (also, no high chairs). Either way, one of the better bagel sandwiches I've had. I got the "Handy Andy" with some modifications (+bacon, because duh).Highly, highly recommend. Great options and superb bacon (thicker and crispy, not thin and flimsy).

Great menu, and great food! Recent negative reviews because they have 3 or 4 menu items that match another bagel shop across town are uncalled for. A list of ingredients to top a bagel is not copyright. Did Quiznos copy Subway or did Subway copy Quiznos? Did Bob Evans copy Denny’s? No one cares! A sub is a sub; a diner is a diner; a bagel is a bagel. This location has great food and great service!

A very clear ripoff and copycat of a long standing local bagel sandwich shop in Broad Ripple that’s been open for 20 years. It isn’t just that this is another bagel sandwich place, they use the exact process of steaming the bagel sandwiches, use the same exact bagels from Bagel Fair in Nora for them, and then fully and blatantly copy exact and specific sandwiches that Broad Ripple Bagel Deli has been serving for years. It is always nice to have new local businesses throughout the city, however it is not nice when they plagiarize the business idea from elsewhere and do not even mention being inspired by such. Even Bagel Deli mentions on their site that they were inspired by a shop in Miami, Ohio but they didn’t just straight up copy them. (I’ve attached pictures of copied menu items that are very specific sandwiches that can’t just be “coincidental”)

The food is great clearly of high quality! They made my order special based on my dietary needs without any issues/attitude. And my bacon was PERFECT, loved it, will be back!

AMAZING FOOD! This is my new go-to lunch spot. Staff are fun and friendly, and food is just outstanding. Everything we've tried on the menu so far has been fantastic. You're missing out if you haven't tried this place.

After seeing Facebook posts from the Bearded Bagel, I finally made the hubby go pick us up one for breakfast this morning. Forget Einstein (sorry!), this place is by far superior. I had the Vince Vaughn and it was a meaty hunk of a sandwich. The ham and bacon were superb. We live about 15 minutes away and the bagels arrived steaming hot when my husband got home. Highly recommend trying this place! And, sorry, no pictures. I snarfed that baby right up.

Delicious bagel sammies and excellent service!
