The bagels themselves are top notch. So far this is my favorite bagel spot in Nashville! I took a star off, though, because for some reason they weren't letting anyone dine in (maybe they do now, but I am not sure). As a result, we had to eat out in the rain on a wet bench. Still...worth it! Deliciously, Clayton Cohn

The bagels are large with a crispy exterior but still soft on the inside. Tons of interesting cream cheese flavors. I liked the dill pickle a lot. Definitely ask for light cream cheese as they put way way too much. I would say there was 4-5 tablespoons on the bagel which is excessive.

Bagels were pretty good, sandwiches were pretty good, and they have a bunch of unique flavors of cream cheese. That said, they put a crazy amount of cream cheese on each bagel. Like way more than what is necessary, so I would suggest asking for them to go light on the cream cheese.

Most delicious bagel sandwiches I’ve ever had. There’s no indoor seating area, and you can’t go inside because there is top secret bagel stuff going on in there.We got the nova (lox) bagel sandwich and the Reuben bagel. Both were so good! However, my only gripe is that our order came out to $40 for two bagel sandwiches and one tea. That’s nuts. Probably wouldn’t return again just due to the cost and the guilt pressuring to tip on top of the exorbitant prices on the damn iPad. ? but the bagels are super delicious

This place is as close to NYC bagels as you can get in the South! Everything was perfectly made to order, their flavored cream cheeses are so so good and they load it up just like it’s supposed to be. Bagels are chewy and soft, full of flavor; even the pumpernickel has bold flavor which you don’t seem to get much on the south. Been here twice now and craving more!

The only place you can get a true New York bagel and the best Nova salmon in Nashville. They ship the salmon in from the city and you can tell - the Nova sandwich is very delicious. A little piece of NYC in Nash! The place is also family owned and they take real pride in their bagels. Great experience. Highly recommend if you're a NYC bagel lover!

Firstly, the bagels were excellent, but their customer service was what WOWed me. It was amazing! I sought out Proper Bagel for the brunch package, but I needed to sub one of the sides. I reached out to PB's email and the owner, Heather helped me the whole way through. Heather was quick with her responses, and even gave me her personal cellphone number to help with fulfilling the order.

I was really disappointed by the whole experience at this place. I didn't have high expectations, but even those were not met.The place does not have an indoor area where you can wait. It's best to place an order online ahead of time and arrive half an hour later to pick it up. I did not know that the wait time would be so long.I placed an order with a lady who came out to greet me. I was not told the total and just handed over my credit card. I ordered a salmon avocado toast with an egg on top. The total came out to almost $20.After waiting for 25 minutes on Wednesday morning, I got a sandwich in a large plastic box. When I arrived at my hotel room 10 minutes later, that toast was completely soaked and was not even toasted. It was basically a piece of bread under a mountain top of mashed avocado that was already getting dark, thin layer of salmon and a cold egg.Really disappointing, especially the state of bread. The wait time on top of that made the experience less than positive. I would consider coming back here for a bagel, but a salmon avocado toast is not going to be something that I will order again.

Legit good. Everything. My fave is Avo & Egg on a bialy, add bacon & hash brown (see pic). Seriously I have dreams about this breakfast sandwich. Staff is rad too.

Savory bagels for the win. Bacon jalapeño with spinach everything bagel was excellent. The cinnamon with strawberry shortcake not so much. Worth stopping by.
