The Bagel Deli & Bakery 3301 Southern Boulevard Southeast, Rio Rancho, NM 87124

"I was excited to try this place, it’s local and nearby. The bagels were good but the cream cheese was disappointing. The strawberry smear was too sweet, it tasted like strawberry icing and the almond honey smear (normally my favorite to order at other places) tasted like pure almond extract, I didn’t finish the bagel because of it. The breakfast sandwich on croissant was good!…but definitely disappointed by their “coffee bar” set up. That seems like it would be an easy one to improve. I’ve had better coffee on an airplane. They had styrofoam cups and some gallon size coffee mates cream jugs. That’s it, that’s their coffee bar set up. Of course you want a good cup of coffee with a bagel."

"This place is as good as it ever was, if not better. Prices are great and the bagels are amazing. So glad these guys are open again."

"I'm so glad The Bagel opened again! I was going into a deep depression over it (somewhat being dramatic). The original location was nice, however this new location rocks! Not only is the spot nice but the bagels and cream cheese tasted better than I remember. I loved bagels but after I went to NYC, nothing around town tasted good. I met my husband and his whole family is from the east coast. He took me to The Bagel the first time we had a breakfast date. Then he bought me a black and white cookie... I was sold for life on both the man and the restaurant. Thank you for reopening so I can have my comfort food back. You were missed ♥️"

"So glad this place is back in business! Their Bagels are better than ever! With a new store that has a nostalgia of the old one! Stepping foot in the new store brought me right back to the memories of my grandma taking me a couple times a week as a kid. Thank you guys for that and the awesome bagels!"
