Rosen's Bagel Co.
Included In
Originally started as a pop-up, Rosen’s Bagel Co. started selling bagels at Brew and Brew, and eventually the bagels could be found at restaurants and coffee shops all over town. The brick and mortar location on Burnet Road, right by The Domain, evokes classic appetizing stores like Russ & Daughters Cafe in New York City with its cheerful lighting and white tiles. The traditional bagels here are among the best in Austin—slightly chewy, with a golden-brown and crisp outer crust—and like a proper bagel, they don’t need to be toasted (though you can get them toasted on request).
Additionally, Rosen’s makes housemade cream cheese, schmears, lox, and whitefish salad for their bagels, (you can also get it all by the pound). Where Rosen’s truly shines, however, are the artfully composed bagel breakfast sandwiches, including the Classic Lox, the Not A Taco, and the Bodega Bagel. The espresso-based drinks here are pretty good, too.
