So glad to have found an Einstein replacement! Super cute little place, good bagel selection, and friendly and attentive staff. Would love to see an asiago bagel here, and well be sold!

The bagels here are amazing. The super onion and everything are a must try. The bagels dont last much more than a day though, which is to be expected as they are made from scratch.

My impression is that this shop has great potential, and most reviewers here seem to like it. My experience wasnt at all satisfactory two weeks ago. First, the prices are fantastic. And Ive been wanting to find a shop where I could get an honest-to-goodness deli sandwich. Score two. But the downsides: A very busines-like vibe, not friendly. Perhaps because it was only 9:00a.m. and the staff wasnt yet fully awake? Biggest minus: Ordered a dozen sliced raisin bagels and when I got them home, no raisins, plain bagels, and all tops oddly shaved off at an angle rather than through the middle (see photo). I watched her take them from the right bin, but again, I guess when they were brought out somebody was still asleep and made a mistake. Ill revisit for a second try, this time for a lunchtime sandwich, in the next week or so, and maybe update my rating if the employees are fully awake.

The bagels are always fresh and quite delicious. The staff are friendly and eager to please. They listen and provide great service. I always enjoy shopping and eating there!

Good bagels. Great prices. No-nonsense service. Seems like a neighborhood institution. Lost one star because my kid ended up with an “everything” blueberry bagel. All the bagels get cut/toasted in the same place and there’s some cross-contamination of flavors.Nevertheless, I will definitely be back.

A bagel miracle has occurred!My prayers were answered my voice was heard. I always get a garlic bagel toasted twice, with plain cream cheese, so I really cant. Comment on any of the other menu items. Staff is really friendly there they seem to know just about every customer by name. The prices are not outrageous, and the quality, at least of what I always get,is consistent.

Ive only been here once. The staff was backed up but doing their best. An Asian lady showed up with a big order and the staff made her order first, putting everyone elses order aside. The Asian lady walked out almost mockingly happy. So now i make my own sandwich recipe at home. Thanks Asians lady for losing them business.

Their bagel w/ green Chile stew is the best..girls are very polite..my go to place for bagels..been going there for years & will continue..

Great bagels no preservatives in them.We love the croissant supreme.

Simply the best. Bagels are baked fresh and delicious.

Great little deli- I didnt particularly love the bagels and they put A LOT of cream cheese. It was fresh food though.

This place is the best! Bagels are always fresh, service is fast and friendly, and you can order online and pick up, even for the next day. Highly recommend buying a dozen bagels and cream cheese.

Bagels are always fresh and delicious! Great customer service 😊

Finally found decent bagels in ABQ

Amazing prices, delicious & fresh food, Such pretty bagels, everything is cleaned with bleach, amazing customer service, freshly baked bagels every morning, everyone is super sweet, happy & very smiley no matter the time of day. DO NOT judge this place off of the reviews you see or the people who go one time and “have a bad experience” BEST BAGELS YOU CAN GET DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND TO ALL MY FAMILY & FRIENDS, 100x better than Einstein’s !!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite local Rio Rancho restaurants. Staff is friendly and the bagels are better than local chains.

I was so impressed by the cleanliness of this business! Its immaculate. Employees were strict about wearing masks and reminding people about people about social distancing but did so in such a kind way. I love the neighborhood feel of this local business. Ill be back.

Wish i could leave 0 stars. My daughter and I went for lunch but it was a very bad experience. They double charged us for the drink and the snotty little girl started arguing with my daughter. She ended up throwing the credit card at my daughter and then they all ran to the back like a bunch of little rats when they saw me coming to complain to the manager. So i told the manager what happened and then she asked what happened. I told her that i just told her and then she asked me what i wanted and she was smirking behind her mask. Uhhh. An apology would have been nice. Our money back for being double charged would have been nicer. She really couldnt even keep a straight face. Great customer service...i guess what i want is to forget this place ever existed. Einsteins food is soooo much better.

Absolutely the BEST!!! Been getting my Bagels here for over 20 years. The ONLY place I will go!! Best Bagels, people and customer service!! Love this place!! 💕

Not only is The Bagel my number #1 breakfast stop not only because it’s absolutely delicious and made to order, but the coffee is always fresh. Following all state guidelines and more to keep customers and staff safe. Highly recommended AAA+++ Customer service is always excellent!!!To the “Baldwins”Those beautiful young ladies that own and work in this fine establishment you call rats do not deserve your name calling and abuse. And this business will most definitely prosper without you and your daughter as customers.I feel much better knowing that you won’t be back because I hate “KARENS”. Who in there right mind tells people that they hope they catch COVID-19 I mean I feel the need to explain myself because of your ignorance but currently 1,309,466 people have died from Covid-19 we do not need anymore.

I really wish I could give 0 stars. My husband was really wanting NY style bagels, so he went and picked up a dozen this morning. On his way home, he was almost finished eating one when he looked down and saw that there was a clump of HAIR baked into the bagel - see photo. When he got home, we looked through the bagels and at least half of them had hair in them (baked in). UGH!

Great bagels and service.

We have been going here since day one and have had nothing but the best. However, today it was not the same, wrong bagel, was toasted when I said no, asked for not so much cream cheese what I got was almost none, and only had one very small thin piece of lox and no tomato. I am writing this as simple feedback in Hopes it was just an off day. We will continue to eat here often.

The ladies that run the shop take their time to make sure you get exactly what you want in your bagel. Everything is fresh and delicious.If you want a fresh bagel with a large selection of spreads, the Bagel Deli Bakery is your place.

This is a great place to get a bagel. Its the closes youre going to get to a New Jersey bagel.

Tasty bagel and good coffee

My husband lance and I stopped in. Food was good employees friendly. Will stop in again

Best bagels in Rio Rancho! Always has been always will....... Breakfast bagels cant be beat!

Absolutely delicious and really good bagels. Made to order bacon and eggs when I ordered my breakfast sandwich. Good prices and good weekly specials. Plenty of options for sandwiches or cream cheese or just a plain bagel. Its not trying to be some posh Starbucks. Just a really good place for easy casual breakfast/lunch with good food.

Service sucks! This please is so slow for the little business they get. Instead of talking you should be taking orders of the people who are waiting.Some lady wearing a black shirt, probably the manager wasn’t wearing gloves and touching food that’s cooking trying to flip it. Do y’all not follow basic cleanliness? Never coming back and I don’t recommend anyone come unless you want to get sick. I’m very disappointed.

The people here are always kind and willing to go the extra mile. Their bagels are the best. Nothing beats fresh!

If I could give it 0 stars I would! Terrible experience.. the manager was disgusting and horrible! For one the building the shop is in...is very gross. I believe a health inspector should check them out. During a pandemic you would expect for people to follow protocols (especially if you’re in the food industry) but the manager was not.. she had no mask on and not even gloves or a hair net and that is basic food safety practice! She was extremely rude to me as well. I even noticed someone’s children in the food preparation area... NOT OKAY! Would not recommend. Go to Einstein bagels, I like to support local businesses but save yourself the trip and money when it comes to this place.Bagel rating: -10

Historically, Ive LOVED this place ever since I first went there. Their bagel sandwiches are delicious. (Everything Bagel w/ egg, bacon and cheese for $3.00). On this visit, they said they were no longer serving breakfast and they dont since 12:00. Well, the 2 customers before me were eating a nice breakfast bagel freshly delivered at 12:30. I was a little disappointed. But, still enjoy the place and will still go back. Just need to serve the whole menu the whole time they are open. BTW: MUCH BETTER than einstein bagels.

I have been a customer here for years and years.. NEVER have I been disappointed with anything that I’ve ordered. They do get busy at times but they do their very best and get all the customers taken care of in a timely manner while providing excellent customer service!

Five Stars??? I don’t get it. This place is absolutely filthy. The ceiling is brown ; the fixtures are grimy; the tables are worn and broken; the chairs are torn and stained. The sign above the register is black with dirt.Then there’s the screaming infant in the back room...I don’t care how good the food might be, it doesn’t matter once you lose your appetite.

The Best bagels in town and the people that work there are always smiling and friendly. Theyre a local business that appreciates their customers.

This place is awesome! I eat there almost every morning. The staff is very friendly and personable. Always quick and courteous, its a nice way to start my day. The bagels are always delicious as well as cheap! I recommend this place to everyone

As someone from the New York metro area, these bagels are as close as it gets without heading out east. I love that there is a place in ABQ where I can order taylor ham!

Breakfast sandwiches got better, than the last time I visited. More egg and meat is always a plus. The coffee is old school and delicious.

They have the only true NY bagels in the ABQ/RR area. Im from NY and tried them all. They even put the flavor seeds (onion, garlic, etc) on BOTH sides of the bagel, which Ive only ever seen once before. If you agree that Einsteins sucks and Alecias wasnt all that, youll love Bagel Deli. Note: bagels only come out of the over once a day (5am) so get there early if you want them nice and soft. They use no preservatives, so they get hard fast. BUT THEY ARE AWESOME.

Maybe because I grew up in a Jewish suburb of Chicago, I have higher standards, but bagels dont come in these colors. There look raw or a color Ive never seen before on a bagel. They looked boiled but not baked. Gave me the creeps!

First timer.. the breakfast sandwiches and bagels are delicious, thank you... Its my new favorite place... Definitely recommend.

Good bagels

Excellent choice of the unique and classic bagel selections.

I have not had a decent Bagel since I moved to New Mexico. Finally, I have found one! The bagels are fresh, the staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I am happy now LOL

People are very rude.

I go to the bagel Deli Bakery to pick up bagel.They have about 20 different bagels; that are crispy on the outside very good. They also have different cream cheeses. My favorite is the green Chile cream cheese just enough bite to know what it is.I like the everything bagels,plenty of everything on both sides .Very tasty.The only thing I dont like is if you order a dozen bagels they charge you tax.there is no tax on food in New Mexico.Been doing ot for years.Id like to see them stop because its costing the customer more taxes.

Went on a Sunday. There was no italian bread.Sandwiches are all on bagelsThats a big bite for me. The bagel seemed hard as in dry and not chewy at all. The meats were good and after you go a few times you will understand their methods. But for the first time I was not impressed.

Hands down- Best breakfast and lunch in Rio Rancho! Staff is always friendly with excellent service...

Only 4 stars because I just started going there. So far so good. My sausage and egg on an onion bagel was good but Im a mayo guy and forgot to ask for some (which they DO provide).

This is a great bagel place. Thats not all they have just all Ive had.

Great local bagel spot. The girls that work here are really helpful and friendly. Love their bagels, just wish they had some better coffee. They do have great prices and come here over large bagel chains every chance I get.

Simple deli and bakery with amazing bagels and house made cream cheeses. If you want a quick breakfast, incredible bagels, or some fantastic deli meat you have got to try this place.

First time Ive been there but it was excellent! Fast service, good food and good prices!

This place is a small local business I love to support! They may not be snappy to greet you if they are busy making orders, but they are happy to greet you just about every time! I have been going here for years, (maybe 7 or 8 the food is made right in front of you, the bagels are made fresh daily and I had to write this when I saw these other reviews. They are very reasonably priced and so dont believe everything you see from one time visiting people.

Good bagel sandwiches but charge a fee to use bank card and do not tell you they are going to add on the fee for a 6.12 charge called no cash fee. If there is a fee it should be posted and inform the customers. I do not like this without being informed.

We love this place! Best bagels in the whole metro area! We especially enjoy their breakfast bagel sandwiches and the green chili stew is amazing!! Staff and owner are so friendly and helpful.

Best bagels in the Rio Rancho and Albuquerque area. The prices and service are great. They dont charge extra for specialty bagels. All bagels are the same low price. A dozen bagels includes 3 extra free and a half dozen includes 1 free.

Very rude young ladies no customer service skills. All the employees are related to each other so they dont care if they give poor customer service. When you call the shop they answer hello like its there personal phone this is a job u should answer, its a great day at the bagels and deli how can I help you? Luckily I go to Einstein bagels a few miles away with better bagels and better service. This dump doesnt deserve a 0 or a one star it deserves a -10/10.

Awesome bagel Bro!

Ive never had horrible service here and everyone is friendly. The prices are good and so is the food.

Breakfast sandwiches are pretty blah - need more flavor. The bagels (bought separately) were very hard. Coffee isnt very good. Entire store could use a makeover-seems a bit worn. Might try them again later.

Great bagels. Very nice and helpful staff. Made a new pot of coffee for us

Great bagels, Great prices!!

Best bagels in NM

Love this place! They have the best bagels and black and white cookies! Their staff is amazing, always super friendly and helpful. I visit at least once a week.

The young lady up front has absolutely zero customer service and is exceptionally rude. Blond curly hair. Yeah, dont recommend.

These are new york style bagels, the best

Love the bagels. Best around. Just wish I could get to them more often. Not easy by bus.

Great food and good prices but terrible service. Waited 10 minutes to even be acknowledged. Popular Neighborhood Place so they assume they will always have business and treat you that way. No smiles, no hello.

These bagels are soft and delicious! The staff is so nice and fast, too!

I love this place

The service was horrible here if I could rate this place 0 stars I would. I walked in and didnt get a simple hello just saw the young girls roll their eyes at me. They asked me what do I want in a rude tone and I got a cinnamon raisin bagel toasted with butter. My bagel was hard as a brick and also burned. I went and asked the young girls if they can re-make my bagel all they did was do the heavy breathing and grab the burned bagel from my hand. They were to busy gossiping about people when I walked over there. The lobby didnt look well maintain or clean. When I left I didnt hear have a great day just a stare from the young girls. I think these girls forget without the customer spending they wont have a paycheck at the end of their payroll cycle. If I was the owner I would fire all these immature girls that work there and hire people that actually have great customer service. I will be telling all my friends and family not to waste their money at this dump!!

They got friendly an awesome people that work there these are people that will remember you not just like any ordinary customer. They remember you like youre a friend.

U pick the flavor of the bagel, sausage or bacon with egg $2.85....cant go wrong with this place. Lunch specials are available too. Boarshead meats are sold here also.

I gave them one star because the food is good and the prices are great BUT customer service is absolutely TERRIBLE! I dont mind waiting long for my food but it would be nice to be acknowledged when I walk in the door. Today an angry customer walked out and a minute later we walked out as well. The girls preparing the food were busy but the cashier wasnt. I undertand they have orders to prepare but it doesnt take long for them to say something like welcome, well be right with you. Ive been there three times and it was the same every single time. Third strike!Its not good for a small business to lose two cutomers in ten minutes.

The best bagels in ABQ/RR hands down. The outside of the bagel has the perfect texture and they arent chewy. BDB is so much better than Einstein and McDonalds breakfast sandwiches, if you like breakfast. What I especially like is that they use Boars Head meats and cheeses. And they dont skimp on putting more than enough meat in their sandwiches.

Absolutely love this place! My breakfast sandwiches were delicious. I found my new favorite place for breakfast!

The bagels are great and the girls are beautiful!! Absolutely love this place. If I could give 15/5 stars I would!

The only place to get a real bagel. Genuine local joint. Good people and products.

Authentic, fresh, water bagels with the essential flavor varieties (egg, onion, garlic, rye, pump, oat, wheat, evthing, poppy, sesame, green chile, etc.) AND reasonably priced. Bakers dozen Includes 3 bonus bagels! They also sell cream cheeses, and bagel sandwiches. You can eat in or take out. You *could* just get a cup of coffee here while your pal eats his shmear, but how could you resist a fresh bagel?! Use cash here: theres ia nominal fee for using a credit card, and its posted clearly at the cash register. The counter help was friendly and offered plastic bags for freezing the extras. And yes, they have a slicing machine to pre-slice if you are picking up a few dozen for an event.

Our fav local bagel spot. Fresh bagels everyday, breakfast bagels cooked to order. The girls that work here are super friendly and fast service. So happy that they accept card now, we are there almost every Sunday with our newspaper and meal planning for the week. We fuel up on our bagels and go shopping at smiths afterwards

The Lox sandwich is amazing. But, they get it wrong EVERY TIME! Even after they repeat my order back to me, its always wrong. Need a new system to take orders! Obviously the memory system is not working for you guys.

Great prices and always have my type bagel. Nice staff and great food.

I wanted a couple hot sandwiches and they wouldnt because they had an hour before they closed and they already had truned the grill off and the bagel was as hard as a rock. The receipt was almost white I asked for a reprint and they said thats as good as it get. This place use to be batter back in the day!!!.I posted this review on February 4th now it is February 21st, 2019 and I have been hearing from several people the women that run this bakery is gossiping about me😠👿 and I believe it because Ive seen it before when I used to go in they told about other customers and then they told me to keep it on the down low. Well with all the recording devices eventually they will be caught.

Ive enjoyed this place for a long time! The girls in the AM are friendly and fast. The food is great and very inexpensive... Try the knish!

Fresh very good bagles,

The wife said an employee was a little rude. Service is a little slow. Its an older place. But the food was two thumbs up for the wife and our son said it was the best sandwich he ever had.

Awesome place Ill recommend it to all my friends and family

Ive been going here for decades... One of Rio Ranchos oldest businesses. Theyve recently started accepting debit and credit cards and also sell very inexpensive cappuccinos. A must try breakfast or lunch destination!

Had large coffee, an everything bagel with half lox cream cheese, other half green Chile cream cheese. The bagels were toasted beautifully, cream cheese was piled high. All was delicious.

My husband and I were craving a bagel this morning and found this place, so glad we did I had the honey almond cream cheese and it was absolutely delicious!! Looking forward to returning here!!

Cozy atmosphere. Love the diner look. Good food and coffee.

It was awesome day boil and bake the bagels the way youre supposed to super delicious and homemade cream cheese

Best bagels and coffee Ive had since moving away from North Jersey. Perfect.

I like bagel

The young lady up front has no customer service. We ended up leaving.

Excellent selection and taste good too. Has breakfast choices also

The ladies here are always super friendly!

These girls are awesome and friendly, good bagels and selection, best breakfast sandwich you can get for the price.
