St. Paul Bagelry is a local favorite, known for their fluffy bagels with just the right amount of chew. Keep it simple with a salt bagel and classic cream cheese or experiment unexpected flavors with a sun dried tomato bagel topped with an olive pimento schmear - either way, it’ll be delicious.

Set in the heart of the North Loop neighborhood, Rise has made a splash in the Twin Cities culinary scene for combining an old-world approach to bagel cookery with a trendy, vegan-friendly menu. Grab a rosemary bagel with scallion cream cheese to go, or take a seat and enjoy something a little more adventurous like the Wonton - a toasted sesame bagel loaded with jalapeño cream cheese, sweet and sour sauce, hot mustard and crispy wontons. 

Common Roots sets their bagels apart by using the best local, organic ingredients they can find. Don’t miss out on their classic bagel with lox - an open-faced bagel piled high with velvety cream cheese, briny capers, fresh veggies and Nova Scotia lox.

A St. Paul institution, Cecil’s Deli has been serving sandwiches, soups, and (of course) bagels since 1949. Though everything served is delicious in its own merit, the bagel and egg sandwich is particularly drool-worthy: a toasty, buttery bagel filled with a lacy fried egg and house-made pastrami, all topped with melty cheese.
