One of the best bagel shops in the city imo. Though this was my first visit to the shop, I had actually been eating their bagels for years because they are sold at a coffee shop near my office. However, Ive been working from home since the pandemic, so I had not had t them for quite a while.I tracked them down and couldnt be happier. The jalapeno bagel is my absolute favorite, its spicy, cheesy and the bagel has the perfect pull when you but it. It is also preservative free which is even better. Today I tried the onion, garlic bagel with bacon and egg and it too was excellent!Great bagels, great location, great service what more could a guy ask for. I recommend them, just try to leave me a few jalapeno bagels please.

This place just fine, the bagels were decent, I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and it was well prepared. It took a long time to place my order and to receive it as well. Idk if they do over the phone orders but if they do this will safe you a Ton of time. The vibe is cute and chic and the have an interesting ordering line set up. The prices are okay as well. Nothing about this experience was impressive but it’s worth trying and seeing if you like it. Oh yea an I order a side of bacon, 4$ I think, to only get 2 strips of it not worth it from my point of view but now I know.

Although they messed up my order, this is definitely a great place to have bagels.I ordered a chopped cheese with egg, lettuce, tomato, and onions. They stated they can’t mix hot with cold (which was confusing to me.) but they gave me the toppings on the side. My bagel sandwich didn’t have the egg on it. All these things were a bummer and I would have given 3 stars but………There was a homeless guy that was at this location. The manager, instead of treating him indecently, actually went up to him and asked if he wanted something to eat. He addressed him as sir and actually gave him a nice fresh cup of coffee. Additionally, the manager sanitized the stations and gave the guy sanitizer wipes. The way they treated this man showed me that the culture of this establishment is one of tremendous value. Customer for life!!!!!

Great bagels and zero complaints! The bagels themselves are outstanding and Id definitely recommend the rosemary and sea salt. Great combo and perfect sprinkles of salt! Best of all; Emerald City is vegan friendly!! They have vegan cream cheese, hummus, and mashed avocado as options. Big fan! Only feedback would be to let me put hummus AND cream cheese on my bagel when I order online (I can only choose one). Great weekend brekkie

You know.. I have to be honest. Finding a good bagel spot as a transplant has been quite difficult. I am so pleased here consistently with just the customer service. The atmosphere and bagel selections are truly something.I have even referred it to all my clients and they adore the staff and the amazing selections as well. Thank you all for having us.For new comers, I took a few shots of my favorite bagel to go. @minalco 📸

Hands down the best bagel I have ever had 10/10 would recommend the garlic herbs cream cheese was everything. 🥯 🔥😍😮‍💨🤤🤪

I really wanted a nice bagel from a cool spot. It was cute & tasty, but a bit expensive. I spent $11 on a bagel sandwich with an 8oz orange juice. The OJ was $3. They definitely overcharge for the size. I would come again but would only buy food, no drink.

Such a cute space and the bagels are top notch. Expect a wait, but the employees are very efficient and organized. An EAV staple!

Delicious NYC-style bagels! This bagel shop runs so efficiently; its impressive! I waited in-person for about 15 min for my order (they served at least 60 people during that time, mostly call-in/online orders). I would recommend ordering ahead of time. This place is tasty and quick!

Great NYC style bagel. Probably the best I have had in Atlanta. I walked in and was served right away. Staff was friendly. I would have given 5 stars except for a couple of things. I do not particularly care for rye seed added to an everything bagel as it tends to dominate the seasoning. I also like a NYC classic scallion cream cheese which is not available. That being said, I will return to try some of their other offerings.

Delicious bagels, but not worth the wait.I would say these are my favorite bagels in Atlanta. But my last experience will have me avoid this location. The line for both online order and ordering there are both long. I went in without an online order and waited in line for 10 minutes. Then once I had my order for a dozen bagels (no creme as I bought the separate tubs from the fridge), it took me 1 hour to get my bagels. No bagels are worth that long of a wait. Overall was there for 1.5 hours.I am not sure if it was a mistake or the actual usual wait time. At 40 minutes the person that ordered before me got their egg/some type of breakfast bagel. 20 minutes later I asked the person at the counter if I missed my name. They said ah I see your receipt let me go get your bagels. Then they were out of cinnamon (not when I ordered :( ), so just got different types for those. When I finally got my bagels the counter person said sorry. I am not sure if this was a sorry for how long I waited or if they lost my receipt in the stack of orders they have in the queue.Long story short: bagels are delicious, but if you dont get there at opening the cost to your time is just not worth it.

I really want to love this place. It has a great vibe, the staff is always friendly and as a New Yorker I need to have a good bagel place.However, the bagels are just not that good. They typically taste and chew like they are a day old and they seem to get smaller and smaller each time. I do really like the cream cheese options though.Side note - the online ordering is easy and seamless.

The positive: Pretty good bagels.The negative: We have gotten bagels from here twice over the past couple of months. The “Covid”-process is boggling. You need to purchase online before pickup.Okay, fine, I’m good with that. BUT, you can’t place an order the night before - it has to be day of. When you are trying to place an order, there is no selection for a future time… it must be placed as “ASAP”. Once selected, you only receive a projected time after completion of the order.. this would be fine, if the time hadn’t been 45 minutes+ on both occasions. So you’ve paid, now you wait. Once you go to pickup the bagels you will be met by a line. While the bagels are popular, the line is driven by the sheer slowness of giving out the bagels…After all this - an hour plus wait and $30 for a few bagels - you’ve received a pretty good bagel.I’m fine with a wait… but the system, at least through the customer lens, almost seems to be used to disguise the wait intentionally since no information is given up front. It also shouldn’t take that long to get a bagel..

Sea salt Bagel is great. This place used to be my favorite because it was the only place I could get a bagel with vegan cream cheese. However some time ago they started making the vegan cream cheese in house. Appreciate the effort to keep it natural, however it tastes nothing like cream cheese to me. I dont understand this choice when there are so many good vegan cream cheese options available at the grocery store. Miss the old version. Now I just take my bagel home and have my own cream cheese.

One hour wait for two bacon egg and cheese bagels. After 45 mins of waiting, I asked if they had mine in the queue, and apparently they were waiting on the egg (which I also heard the same comment from multiple other people who asked). Also it seemed like online orders took priority over the in-person orders, as they continued to call out names that weren’t present and each of the in-person orders waiting over 1 hour for their order.

Delicious bagels and great coffee. Order online for pickup for quicker service. Staff are really nice!

While I am sure their bagels are delicious and worth the wait, I must warn you. If you are an incredibly hungry human in need of immediate bagels this is not your place. A simple toasted cinnamon sugar bagel with cream cheese had an hour wait. I will try it again and update you guys on the wait time.

Wow. Great bagels!! Bacon was crispy and delicious! Bagels were perfect and a great reminder of NYC bagels. Would highly recommend!! Online order ahead only - no orders at the window.

This used to be my favorite spot in east Atlanta for breakfast. The staff always friendly. The bagels always solid.But there is Salome EXTREME laziness being masked as Covid procedures at this establishment. For example - the LP line ordering system is incredibly complicated, and you can no longer order by phone.Fine, work flow, I get it.But now for some reason you can no longer get any vegetables or what they consider “cold” items on a breakfast sandwich. Why? This makes no sense. How is it better to waste plastic containers so get toppings each individually packaged on the side and then add them yourself. At that point - why don’t I just of bug the ingredients and make it myself! The frustration here is my to go order gets three sides separately packaged I am supposed to add onto a melted together bagel - I have to make my own sandwich in the car that’s supposed to be “to go”. Just doesn’t make sense. I’ve asked and told its just too difficult on the staff… but like… You’re a bagel and bagel sandwich place, this is your primary function.Again - great food, but progressively rude and careless customer service will keep me away.

Really cool place. Great bagels

Enjoyed my savory bakers dozen with the dill spread. Nice chewiness and appropriate size not too pillowy and they had a nice light crust. Excellent coffee ☕️ too! Thanks for everything ECB Crew!

Best decision Ive made for breakfast sandwich catering! The Suffolk (basically lox cream cheese bagel) is super perfect. The staff is great, it was my first time there and I asked for recommendations by basically saying give me what people like and they took care of me. Coffees great too, and you can get it in a box.

Very good but they have a serious staffing issue because orders often take over an hour to fulfill even when it’s just 2 bagels.

The best bagels you can ever eat! the bagel do seem a tad pricey but worth it. This is more of a place where its first come first serve and they run out fast because of how popular and amazing they are. You will not regret going, because you would want to go again. Also, they have vegan options!

Very good bagels, though a little small. Everything is very dainty, precious, and a bit overpriced compared to a bagel shop in the Northeast, but overall the bagels are quite tasty. Note to NJers, you can get Taylor Ham/Pork Roll on your egg and cheese sandwich here!

Order ahead because not only will they ask you to wait 45 MINUTES to put toppings on a bagel, but theyll be rude about it. Terrible management, cant figure out basics of to go versus in person orders and when to make what. Massive pile of to go orders stacks up while they refuse to make food orders for people who are physically there. Its a glorified Subway guys, get it together. Youre better off skipping this trendy little Instagram spot for a few months till they fire some of the management and try again.

Excellent food and is prepared very quickly. Four tables outside for on-site dining or you can call in for a pickup. I stop here every time I am in East Atlanta area.

If you’d like to wait 30 for a bagel that are already baked….then come on by. They definitely take priority over online orders. So order online even if you want to eat there.

Waited an hour and a half for four bagels and ordered ahead lol staff is super nice but there’s for sure a disconnect somewhere

Whats better than a great bagel.... a cool restaurant that serves great bagels. I was really excited to walk in and see the old-time bagel shop with the homemade bagels and homemade cream cheese. Their outfits are adorable and reminds me of the 50s era. They even have a window with a small step stool for kids to look through to view staff prepare items in the back. I decided today will be the best day to visit being that it was Mothers Day and close to the church in which we attend. My mother was a little skeptical but absolutely loved the interior and the food. The only hang up is that there is not much seating inside nor outside of the shop but it is a bagel so just get it to go and walk around and see all the beautiful shops that are in the area. Not a big deal at all. My son absolutely loved his egg and cheese bagel. He said he should have got gotten two, it was so delicious. They will see us again soon.

Not bad environment, love the vibes you get from the moment you walk in the door, buuut unfortunately the lox bagel did not scream must have to me. maybe needed more ingredients for the price they are asking 🤷🏾‍♂️.. overall not too bad.

Unique yet delicious place. From bagels to coffee to sparkling drink, you have to try them all.My favorite is the sea salt bagel toasted with creame cheese and strawberry jam. Also do not forget to try the lemon basil seltzer drink.

Ngl I was on the verge of killing myself for some reason so I decided to treat myself w a lox bagel for me and boo and I picked it up and it was not toasted even tho I asked which is whatever tbh bc I did order 30 mins before closing but they bagel was so like chewy it kinda sent me over the edge. bagel was eh it was salty af so if u get the lox don’t get a bagel w salt on it or add a sweet jam for balance. Probably won’t come back here but this place is cute and I do recommend

Amazing bagels in a really cool retro atmosphere!This was my first time here and I will be back to try everything! I order the Scottish lox with dill cream cheese on a garlic bagel. Soon as I opened the bagel sleeve the scent and flavor hit me in the face and begged me to bite into it. Then the flavor exploded in my mouth as I bit into it. That combination was 🔥The other thing I loved here is the decor. Very old world feeling with the structural decor and uniforms of the bagel artisans. Really cool place to be!Follow me on IG: @mrbrandoatl

For my very first experience with Emerald City Bagels, I purchased 2 sesame seed bagels today, expecting them to be outrageously delicious. They were not, however, outrageously delicious; instead, they were not even ho-hum. Indeed, the 2 bagels were actually sort of low quality for bagels. Im originally from the Northeast and have had more than my share of top notch bagels in Philadelphia and New York city. These 2 bagels did not even come close to those bagels Ive had in the past. For my money, I think that the best bagels Ive had in Atlanta are those sold by Goldbergs and, in particular, the Goldbergs in Toco Hills Shopping Center.

The ordering system can be confusing given the all-virtual shift and when you go to pick your order up there is a mishmash of lines with no delineation of who is standing where for what.My wife enjoyed her bagel sandwich but my cinnamon sugar bagel was highly disappointing. It only had the faintest dusting of cinnamon sugar on one exterior side (as well as some random sesame seeds). I would have expected cinnamon swirls throughout the bagel itself or something more substantial, as it was I could barely detect the cinnamon sugar.

Great bagels made daily on-site with a super cool bagel machine that can be seen through port hole windows. Service and atmosphere are great, although it would be nice if they more seats/tables indoors (they have a few tables outside). Dozens of bagels, fillings and sandwiches. You are sure to find something you like. Be sure to stop in if you are within a short drive.

This bagel shop is great in every way. Delicious high quality ingredients, excellent service, and an appreciation for people. Online ordering is a breeze and they have excellent COVID safety protocols - I really get the sense that they care about their community and their employees.

Probably the best bagels in Atlanta. Tried a mix of bagels..... everything with lox, cream cheese, onion, and capers. There is some rye on their everything which isnt my favorite, would rather a little more onion and garlic, but thats a personal preference. The prezel bagle and rosemary salt are both excellent! The shell is chewy without being overly tough. Great bagel!

Such a terrible ordering process and complete lack of customer service. They are already 15 min late. I ask a second time, and proceed to tell me there was a mix up and the order is going to be another 15 min because they put my order at the back of the queue. An appropriate response, if they cared for any level of customer service, would be an attempt to get my order right out. Really disappointing because they have a decent bagel.

Bagel was awesome but waited 30 minutes for a toasted bagel with blueberry cream cheese. Order online and pick it up!

Nothing special, same bagels as the bakery bagels you get from grocery store. Sandwiches doesn’t taste good.

Husband and I decided to pick up bagels after running and grocery shopping. We didn’t realize that orders had to be placed exclusively online. After figuring out the ordering system, we placed our order and it was a 20 minute wait. Ended up getting our bagels 45 minutes later. Not sure if this is Covid related staffing shortage (I hope they pay their people well given the cost of the bagels). But even after getting it, bagels were cold and not discernibly better than other bagel places we’ve been to and not worth 25 bucks for a lox and a veggie bagel (tip included, no coffees)Little disappointed, honestly.

Got myself a jalapeño bagel with chicken sausage and cheese and a jalapeño bagel with egg & cheese for a friend. We enjoyed our meal very much!!! 10/10

Not a horrible bagel but Ive definitely had better bagels at other places around town. The best bagels I found so far are up in Alpharetta and thats a long drive so I will continue my quest looking for better bagels inside the city. Until I find them, it looks like Ill be driving to Alpharetta from now on.

Best bagels in Atlanta! We happily drive 20 minutes south for these bagels. Had an excellent experience there today around 1pm with the guy working at the front window. Awesome customer service and delicious food

Man I’ll keep this short. The only genuine bagels in Atlanta to my knowledge. I’m absolutely willing to take that back if someone knows another place but let me warn you: If its not boiled its just a roll with a hole.

I enjoyed. It, the food was good and the people were nice

I first came to know of these bagels when I worked at the shared kitchen that was Emerald City’s home before they opened this location, and I fell in love with these perfectly-boiled-and-baked, REAL bagels: crispy outside when toasted, chewy inside - as opposed to the donut-shaped-bread that passes so often as a bagel.Emerald City doesn’t make a style of bagel that isn’t delicious; and the schmears are scrumptious, too!But, if you can actually get to this location and have a bagel sandwich (paired with one of their house-made fountain drinks), you’ll know the bliss that keeps me dreaming of returning to Emerald City in EAV.

The bagels are good, but for a breakfast place it can be very slow. That makes it hard to stop by on a weekday. But definitely somewhere we enjoy going on the weekend. Staff it nice and it is always clean. Has indoor and outdoor seating.

First time here recently. Seems that they have gone to an online only ordering system. Bagel was great; lox was wonderful. Definitely appreciated the thinly sliced onions! A bit of a drive, but would go again if Im in the area.

I love Emerald City Bagels! I would consider them the best in the state, maybe even the country. They have really unique bagel and cream cheese flavors that are worth the hype, and their homemade seltzers are incredible. Their employees are always friendly and kind, and have stayed that way throughout the pandemic.However, every time I order an egg and cheese bagel sandwich, the cheese is inadvertently left off. This is frustrating because I pay an extra dollar for it every time. And even on an everything bagel, an egg on its own makes for a very plain sandwich. Can anybody from the franchise help me with this issue?

The perfect bagel joint is in East Atlanta Village! The selection of bagels, sandwiches, and spreads here is fantastic, and the line is often out the door and around the block. Aestheticaly, the space looks like an authenic Jewish deli, and the white labcoats worn by the helpful staff is a charming touch. Best bagel place for miles!

Good bagels. But I’m cheap so I bring my own avocado to the party.

The bagels are delicious but they get my order wrong EVERY TIME . I always order to have my bagel toasted, it’s never toasted. A few times they gave me a completely different order and I would have to turn around for them to correct it. It’s unfortunate because the staff is great and the food tastes food but I cannot continue going if my order is wrong every single time. It’s ridiculous. I ordered this morning again, my order is wrong. Smh.

Bagels are good, not great. The bagel sandwiches are much better than just the plane bagel with cream cheese, those were a bit bland and underwhelming.

Your bagels are delicious. I missed salt bagels for like ten years before you came into my life!

My order was placed online and scheduled to be picked up at 11:36 a.m. . I approached the window at 11:32 at which time they told me my order wasnt ready yet and she would call me when it was. I waited until 11:50, got back in line, and then spoke with the woman at the window. She spent about 5 to 10 minutes looking at my phone and the order number, going around talking to other employees, and generally just showing that nobody had their clue as to what they should be doing. Finally, 10 minutes after my second arrival at the window, the decision was made that they were going to go ahead and just remake my two bagels with cream cheese. They remade them and gave me the food. The whole situation was obnoxious, wasted half an hour of my time, and then to top it all off, the bagels werent toasted and the whole product was subpar. If youre going to charge $4 for a bagel and cream cheese at the very least have a good product, and then beyond that get your customer service game up because that was atrocious. I will never be back here and anytime anybody mentions it to me I will tell them to stay away or to go eat some dirt instead.

The best bagels south of New York City! I feel as though I’ve travelled through distance and time into a true NYC bagelry of the 1950’s. Chewy in the middle and crusty on the outside, Emerald City Bagels has proven that truly delicious bagels CAN be made without piping water in from the five boroughs. An added bonus: you don’t have to pay New York City prices for an awesome selection of bagel varieties with your choice of all the traditional fixin’s!

The bagels are fine. I just don’t understand why this place makes making a bagel sandwich so difficult and time consuming.I get we’re in a pandemic, but you’ve had nearly a year to adjust. It’s great you have online ordering, but why can I not just select the exact items I want on my sandwich? Can’t get 2 eggs any more? I understand simplifying your menu to speed up ticket times, but ticket times aren’t quick either, so I’d rather wait the hour for the exact sandwich I want.I just don’t understand this place.I am grateful they close and act responsibly when they have employees test positive, though.

Best bagels in Atlanta hands down!!! Worth the 30 min drive.

Delish! Great bagels even plain no schmear. You can tell they are made with fresh ingredients and in the nyc method because they are nice and chewy. The cost is $2 bucks each. They currently only do online order and pick up. You cant order at the window even if you want to quickly add something. It all has to be through the app (I know I made that mistake lol). I tried one of the cookies and they were dry and not as tasty so I would start with the bagels and experimenting with the other options on the menu at your own risk😄. Im definitely going back for an everything bagel!

If you’re like me and love a made from scratch FRESH “real” bagel, then Follow the Yellow Brick Road straight to Emerald City Bagels! But be prepared to wait in line. Also don’t expect a NYC sized bagel, as for these are much smaller than your typical bagel.Oh and my kiddos love watching the kitchen make the bagels.

Well... let me say that the 3 stars has nothing to do with the quality of the bagels. However, at $24.00 a dozen they are way over-priced and probably not worth going back for at that price.On the brighter side... bagels were delicious and customer service was great as well. I might find myself back here to get an individual bagel in the future.

Horrible experience. No parking available, I had to order online despite the fact I was right there. I ordered a cream cheese everything bagel with lox it cost almost $12 and was horrible. The bagel was very hard! So not worth the money paid! Will not be back.

The cashier was super friendly and answered my millions of questions. She even suggested bagels & toppings and another employeed offered me a tasting of the smashed Avocado. I walked in wanting something completely unhealthy and left with a Sea Salt + Rosemary Bagel with Avocado & Tomato. The bagel itself had a great texture and the smashed avocado had nice flavor. It was a bit pricey but as a Private Chef I understand that you pay for quality! Id definitely go back.

Some of the best bagels I’ve had in Atlanta.

If I could give them a 00 I would, especially for customer service. One can’t even call in an order, you have to go online, which is a joke. They care more about themselves than their customers. The vaccine works, everyone is wearing masks, what’s the point. Guess their ability to go face to face with a customer is non existent. I’ve had their bagels in the past and they passed but not the best south of NY. Those are in New Bern, NC.I yearn for the Royal Bagle, that was located in Ansley Mall, or Highland Bagle, on Highland next to Blind Willie’s. Our morning was ruined as we were jonesing for an all the way bagel.And East Atlanta, a wannabe neighborhood of posers.

I wanted something sweet and I ordered a cinnamon sugar bagel with extra sugar and cream cheese and it had barely any cream cheese there was a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and it tasted like bread and it was cold like bruh. This was so disappointing because I saw so many good reviews.

New York prices for Atlanta bagels.Disappointed. We got the egg and cheese bagel and the bagel with lox. There wasn’t much on either one. We got an iced coffee and a 12 oz. coffee too and it was $27 with 15% tip. For a below average bagel with not that much on it, it was not worth it.We will not be back.

Great experience. The taste, the atmosphere, the price - all very good. Pictured here bagel with plain cream cheese, Topo-Chico, bagel with lox spread, and a ginger seltzer. I recommend any/all of these. I’ll definitely go again.

Great bagels. Fast service. Definitely a place to hit for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

There’s a good selection of bagels and cream cheeses. I think I chose the wrong bagel 😂

The place is amazing but hints the reason why I ask for my cream cheese on the side they pile it on and it’s so messy. Some times it’s right and sometimes it’s wrong and I get the same thing every day!. Shout out to all the employees I can only remember 4 of their names but John, Caleb, Conner and Tyler always get it right thanks guys!!!

Pro tip (for any takeout but especially this place): check your order to make sure it’s right when you pick it upWhat I ordered: toasted everything bagel sandwich with lox, capers, and onion with tomato added and garlic herb spreadWhat I got: untoasted sea salt bagel with plain cream cheeseI called and they refunded me. The bagel was okay and messy. Most likely won’t return because it’s a bit of a drive and there are places closer to me where I can get better bagels.One major plus was how COVID-conscious they are!

As a NYC transplant, this place is a staple in my weekly routine. Best bagels the city has to offer!

Poor website, bad customer service, average bagels. We tried to order from their website as requested. It wouldnt work. Called in and she told us everything to do to make the order go through and it still didnt work. Girl on the phone didnt care, gave me attitude and said bye then. They wont take phone orders. Or walk in orders. Wont do business with them again. To difficult for simply average bagels.

Outstanding food, fun atmosphere, seamless order pick up. A real gem for EAV!

We tried the jalepeño cheddar bagel and the garlic bagel with garlic spread, eggs, bacon/turkey. Both combinations were awesome. It was crowded but service was excellent and the wait was worth it.

Great bagels.You cant call in. No one every picks up the phone. Cant ask a simple question. Its all online. If you dont want to pickup with phone, please create an automated AI IVR so people can get answers. Please improve your customer experience.

So much trouble and drama just to get a simple bagel via the app..terrible customer service and zero explanation on the website. The bagels are not worth the stress.

There is no better bagel place in Atlanta, period. Super Covid safe, so I don’t have to go without my favorite bagels ever. Thanks for being so cautious and for making the best bagels a girl can dream of!

Super cool place to grab a great bagel! Feels similar to Russ and Daughters in nyc... but also totally different. The bagels were good considering we’re not on Brooklyn!

Emerald City bagels are delicious and my favorite! They also sell cream cheese and coffee some fish and some meat I would highly recommend to any one asking!

Tried ECB for the first time, we were served burnt bagels. Not the best dough consistency for a bagel. Amount and mix of veggies in cream cheese was good but overall a disappointing breakfast.

Best bagels in Atlanta. Definitely try their HOB cream cheese. Also, their salmon and whitefish is the best in town!

Probably the best bagel you’ll have. Not overpowering and fresh. Cool owner and very much worth the wait.

Got scared of the line when I went in here, but it moves fast enough and the bagels are really good! Open early: 6 am weekdays and 7 am weekends.

Easily my favorite bagel spot in all of Atlanta. Best lox bagel Ive ever had and I swear I get one every week.

Really wonderful bagels! Terrible website... and that is currently the only way to order.

Arrived there only to find you cant order at the store, online orders for pickup only. Ordered half a dozen bagels and few different cream cheese flavors. None of them were labelled so I dont know which is which. Also bagels were not sliced. Courteous staff, good sandwich.

BEST BAGELS IN ATLANTA 😍 As a New Yorker, one of the things I miss most about home is good bagels. I dont miss that anymore since finding Emerald City. Their bagels are always fresh and chewy and super flavorful, and their in-house cream cheeses are So EfFiNg GoOoD. Their strawberry cream cheese has slices of fresh strawberry folded in, their veggie has huge chunks of crunchy veggies, etc.. Im getting hungry again just typing this review. If you havent been yet, you have to try this place. Super clean and cozy inside and the staff is very friendly. Doesnt hurt that its only $3.50 for a bagel with cream cheese either. Love this place!

Great COVID precautions for customers. Beautiful whitefish salad and chewy bagels!

Very refreshing! Solo or with a few its a cool spot. Great bagels.Maes Methods Spa

Tasty! I saw some poor reviews regarding online ordering but personally, my bagel came out quick and hot! I had a salt bagel sandwich with egg, cheese, tomato and mayo, and I also got an iced coffee. All together it was around $10 with a 20% tip. Not too shabby for how good it tasted. I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve eaten hundreds (maybe thousands?) of bagels in my life, and this place is just okay.I have picked up bagels from Emerald City about 5 times. I keep coming back here because it’s one of the most popular bagel places in the city. Overall, the bagels aren’t terrible, but they’re not good either. Definitely not an authentic NY style bagel.The bagels are far too hard in texture and lack the signature exterior shine that makes bagels chewy and delicious. On the interior, the dough has very little tunneling (i.e., air pockets).It’s basically just a piece of hard bread made into a circle. Kinda like what you buy at Kroger.Meh... 4/10

What I expected is not what I saw. I ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese. I didnt tasted any cinnamon or raisins just a lot of cream cheese. I dont have any plans on going back.

I honestly have zero idea what the hype is about this place. I regret visiting. Im not even gonna complain about the price because just like many others that have heard the hype of this place, I didnt mind the overpriced-ness for really good bagels. But let me tell you that instead of bagels I got briks. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese toasted, a Nova Lux bagel toasted, and four $4 bagels to take home. They were not toasted.Also, if you dont order ahead then get ready to wait on the longest line youll ever make at Home Depot.

Had not been here since before Covid. But right now its order online only. They dont tell you until your at the front of the line and ask for a confirmation code, turned out to be an hour wait. They need more notification that its order online only,.and not takeout

Make sure you have an extra 30 minutes. Food is good, but their ordering system is horrible.
