Best bagels in Asheville! We found Claire’s fantastic bagels back when she was a little drive-in pickup place in Woodfin. Look at her now! She has her own place near just off Patton Ave. in a plaza just before Sam’s. Plenty of parking, specialty cream cheeses, some sandwiches(but still focusing on her authentic bagels), coffee and more! Highly recommend!

Love this place. So glad we have a bagel shop in West Asheville now. You can watch them cranking out fresh bagels and small batches as you order. There’s a decent chance you’ll get one that is still warm from the oven. They have fun specials to. I got the everything bagel with crab rangoon cream cheese. Fresh, unique, and delicious. Washed it down with a blood orange sparkling ✨️ Earl Grey from infruition tea. Definitely recommended.

I could cry I’m so happy Asheville has this new bagel spot. AND THEY’RE ACTUALLY AMAZING! The outside is beautifully toasted and the inside is so light and airy. I get half a dozen and make breakfast sandwiches for myself for the week with their lox spread and scallion cream cheese. Their lox cream cheese isn’t just lox but it’s deliciously lemon zesty with bits of dill and capers. The people that work there are really kind and very speedy. They also have many kinds of bagels to choose from.

Thank goodness, Asheville finally has good bagels! These are legit NY/NJ bagels, albeit a little softer than I expected. Great flavor, great tear, and all the good flavors. They also have an incredible vegan cream cheese from White Squirrel for the non dairy folks out there. Bagels go quick and there’s a line before they even open, so plan accordingly!

The nova lox w/ fixins bagel holds a special place in my heart. Perfectly prepared, proportioned and absolutely delicious.
Fantastic ingredients aside, THE difference between a good bagel sandwich and a GREAT bagel sandwich is its ability to hold together. Jersey South’s is a great bagel sandwich.
Combine that with excellent artisanal brewed coffee and you have a consistent winner here.

really good bagel. crunchy outside with a soft, chewy inside. asked for scallion cream cheese and accidentally got lox, but that’s okay, it still tasted pretty good. i do wish they had actual bagel breakfast sandwiches, and i think they’re bagel w/ cream cheese option is a bit on the pricey side. vegetarian chicken salad was pretty good as well, and they had a decent number of bagels left at around 11AM on sunday, which i appreciated. i would recommend!

I’m originally from Jersey and these are incredible. Just like from home. The owner is super nice and friendly. They have a good selection of bagels and a bunch of spread options. The bagels had a perfect crisp on outside and very soft on the inside. This will be a very regular stop for me.

The picture doesn’t do this bagel justice! Super fluffy and great size. Perfect amount of scallion cream cheese- it was delicious!! They have multiple bagel options and a few fun cream cheese flavors that change every week. Would go back again!

Bagel aficionados and fanatics— look no further! Claire and team answered our prayers for legitimate NYC/NJ – inspired bagels in AVL, and they’re not messing around. Freshly boiled and baked bagels are alchemized as you wait in line. The cashier doesn’t miss a beat, and addresses all patrons by name which is such a cool neighborly touch.
Got a baker’s dozen — poppyseed, salt, onion, plain, everything — and a lox sandwich on poppy — the perfect bubbly, crispy outer shell with the chewy ( not bready!) center satisfied my tristate palette.
Been waiting for this day, and so glad it’s here. This is the quintessential bagel joint— the only legit bagel I’ve had south of the mason dixon, and I am so stoked to come back and see how the menu evolves go and get your bodacious bagels before they sell out!

Wow! These bagels are amazing. They are very authentic and not like the “bagels” you get at a grocery store. The employees are great. I went in on a busy Sunday morning and was in and out. I’m glad I found this place. It’s my new go to spot after Sunday Mass.
