This is a little hidden gem that everyone should know about. They have yummy bagels, bagel sandwiches, and the coffee is ready and self-serve. Ive had it delivered by Uber eats, done the take out, and sat and ate there. The food is consistently good with nice prices.

Bagels are bomb!!!! If you are in the area and need a quick breakfast sandwich, these are delicious. The place is nice & clean but most importantly the food is yummy. Granted its mostly quick food but they do an amazing job. Every morning we have been in Arlington, our first stop has been bagels at Iris Bagel House

Kristen was so kind and friendly when I came in! Definitely coming back to see her again! She made an amazing latte for me! And the bagels here are amazing! I also loved how anytime there was a lull in customers I saw Kristen taking time to clean areas behind the counter and tables!

First time in this place and Im thoroughly impressed by the quality of their bake. The bagel I had was very very good. I had the monkey bagel which is topped with bananas, pb, cinnamon sugar and honey on my choice of (this time cranberry) bagel. The coffee was great as well. The place doesnt lend itself as a hangout place but it is definitely good for a quick bite! The bagels are insane though, definitely give them a try, the already glowing reviews are there for a reason.

Stopped in for a bagel on my way back to Houston and was pleasantly surprised. This place is nothing fancy, but their bagels are DELICIOUS! I got an Italian herb bagel with chive cream cheese. I will definitely stop by here again if I’m in the area.

Awesome place! The people were really friendly and helpful in picking out the best bagels/drinks for what I wanted. Not nearly as good as NYC itself, but it comes close. Get there early, as they sell out of certain bagels quick!

Review №13

Better than all other bagels because they’re fresh made everyday. Business is run by a small family and they treat the customers like family. Loved this place. The coffee is awesome too and you have a variety of flavors to choose from.

I hate to do this to a Arlington staple but...This place just gave me 3 hockey pucks and called them bagels. I mean it. This place, Ive been going here since, well lets just say its been multiple owners. (Over 20 years) But this was baddddd. I mean, I know its not what it was 10 years ago, but this was rough. What happened?

Awesome local bagel and coffee shop! The owner clearly loves what he does and cares about his customers! The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. I had a cinnamon roll that rivals any Ive ever had. My husband had the Southside Flamethrower egg bagel and thoroughly enjoyed it. He said it was just the right amount of jalepeño. The iced latte was perfectly balanced. Overall a great experience and well probably back many Sunday mornings to come!

Never been a fan of bagels before I had their Al’s Lox Special. It would be my last meal if I were on death row. Salmon and vegies are so fresh, homemade bagel and cream cheese are just so gooooood.++) Don’t forget the iced vanilla latte!

You can’t duplicate New York bagels outside of New York so there’s no point in getting your hopes up. But Iris Bagels has the best bagels Ive come across in the area. The bagels are crisp on the outside and light and airy inside. Nothing like the dense chewy bagels from most places. The coffee is just what you’d hope for, strong and flavorful. And the service is always fast and very friendly. I travel from North Fort Worth for their bagels and it’s well worth it. Skip the Einstein bagel chain and support this local business.

My boyfriend and I came across this jewel after realizing how long of a wait waffle house had that morning. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome. The guy making our breakfast was super chill and funny when answering the million questions my boyfriend asked him. The coffee is strooooong! Perfect for a weekend hangover (which we had) Bagels were delicious and full filling. Overall this place is awesome! 👍😁Will most definitely be returning. Reminder to support our small businesses!! :D

Love the selection. Everything was good. The cream cheese was a little too runny, I wonder if it has mayo mixed in. Im in NYC often, cream cheese definitely not the same. Still, good enough to keep going back. Only bagel shop around.

I visited this place early this morning to be greeted by a friendly owner. I purchased a caramel iced coffee and the lox on an everything bagel. The coffee was superb and the owner even insisted I try it and let him know if it needed anything. The bagel itself was very tasty and the presentation was awesome. I will definitely be returning here soon

Lox sandwich is a must! So delicious! Bagels are fresh, and they are super polite. My only gripe is that they arent open all day! Try it...you wont regret it. Oh, and their homemade cream cheese is AMAZING!!!! ALL THE FLAVORS. YOU CANT GO WRONG!

Review №43

Snickeroo and Texas Best are their most popular blends of drip coffee and the bagels are perfect every time regardless of what you get. My favorite thing about this place is the house made cream cheese and the fact that they remember you by name when you go in.

My husband stopped in this morning and brought us some bagels and creme cheese home. They were all so delicious. The cheese was amazing.This was our first time eating from here and we will definitely be back. I will leave a more thorough review after I get to go for myself. In the meantime....I can tell you the bagels are delicious.

Review №50

Wow. I am amazed at how delicious this place is and how its been here for 13 years and I never knew. Fresh Begals in all sorts of flavors made it hard to make a choice. I went with the Garden Veggie special on a poppy seed begal. The best begal, breakfast, small business experience of my year!! We left with a to go bag with Butterscotch and French toast begals inside, with fresh made cream cheese. Cannot wait to return. They have lunch too!

Review №51

The roast beef bagel sandwich was surprisingly good. The owner was very nice to me and made sure that I customized it to my liking. The only thing I wasn’t particularly fond of was the decoration - it was very dark inside, to the point where it strained my eyes to look at my cell phone. Overall a great place to get a bagel and drink.

For starters, there community board of photos, and business cards all the more adds life to the establishment. Congratulations to that Martin High School (where I also went) 2019 graduate who is now playing womens golf at Texas Christian University. Furthemore, my dad is highly satisfied with their sesame bagels.

My god oh my god was this place great! The staff were friendly, the food fresh, and the store clean. Everything is homemade and the best part of the whole experience was the sweet old man running the show! A full house and only him and one other working and he still took the time to greet every customer and genuinely appreciates your business. This is the best place in the area and this breakfast alone made the drive worth it

If youre in the area, this place is a must! The food and coffee were beyond amazing, but aside from that, the customer service is the best Ive ever had! The couple working there is so sweet and accommodating. You can tell they really care about all of their guests. They continued to serve the people coming in even after they were closed. I will definitely be coming back!

My first time there. So impressed. All of my family loved it. Bagels were delicious!!! The mom gave us some to go as a treat for the kids and the husband, who looked like he needed more, lol! Her son was also super fun, friendly and polite. We ended up buying bunch of the cream cheese spread with black beans and jalapeno, which they whip up at their store. Just pure heaven!

I love bagels. This is the best bagel joint in all of DFW. Forget Einsteins. These are fresh, soft yet firm and the cream cheese is amazing. The family that owns it is absolutely everything you could want from a local establishment. They are very personable and kind. I cant wait to go back!

It will never be New York, but Iris Bagel has won my business for ten years. The service is often quirky, but warm. I love family run establishments that take on the positive vibes of the people behind the counter. My favorite bagels are the jalapeno and the salt. My kids like the chocolate muffins and cinnamon rolls. The drip coffee tastes pretty good. The espresso is nice too. Get there early because there are a limited quantity of each bagel flavor.

Some guy just came out of the back with an armful of bagels without gloves. He was holding the bagels against his shirt and underarm (barehanded). The bagels racks are gross and not clean. I just left so I don’t know if the bagels are any good.

Family coffee shop with a dose of attitude. If thats your thing, great. Otherwise, my desire for exceptional coffee and pastries will have to be satisfied elsewhere.

Review №76

Cheers type bagel shop, you can tell the owners knows the regular customer. Felt like a new kid coming in. The bagels are amazing. I got something with egg whites, spinach, something else. It was great. The bagel spread is also good but watch out a dollar bagel will turn into a 3 dollar bagel due to spread.

Great little bagel shop. Good bagels, fresh cream cheeses and good cafe drinks. Staff is very friendly and there are a good amount of choices. If its busy, there definitely could be a wait but I think its worth it.

Review №81

Not only do they have the most delicious bagels but this is, by far, the best run business in the area. Even when they are busy, they take care of everyone as if they are their best customer. The staff is friendly and efficient, plus they are extremely personable and honest. If something is wrong, they will quickly fix it. They want you happy and it shows. We drive out of our way to come here, passing other shops with bagels in our way. The bagels are as good, or even better, than those Ive had in New York or Florida.Thank you for doing what you do.

Review №83

We stopped there as we were passing through town. Its a family-run business, so the service was very friendly. They took the time to explain menu items, recommend a coffee roast, and make substitutions for us. When we actually got our coffee and bagels, we were delighted. The bread of the bagel was delicious and the sandwich fixings were high quality. The Texas roast coffee was great, a well-balanced blend. They say bagels and coffee. Thats all they do and they do it well.

Review №84

This was my first visit here, but it will certainly not be my last. My garden fresh bagel was a delight. I got a matcha latte to pair. The pumpkin roll was amazing, and it will be making an appearance at our Thanksgiving dessert table this year. The environment is sweet, homey, and everything you could want in a bagel shop. The people were friendly, jokes were made, and genuine interactions were everywhere. Ill be going back for more.
