Bagels & Joe
4701 Old Cheney Rd, Lincoln, NE
Crema's Take
“Bagels & Joe is a beloved Lincoln institution that's earned serious loyalty for its exceptional bagels and cream cheese varieties, with fans driving from neighboring Omaha just to stock up for their offices. The vibe strikes an inviting balance between a quick-grab counter spot and a welcoming gathering place where families and friend groups linger over breakfast bagel sandwiches and hot coffee, all served by staff who genuinely make you feel looked after. Whether you're stopping in solo for your daily coffee ritual or bringing a crew for a mid-shopping break, this is the kind of place where the simple things—fresh bagels, good conversation, reliable parking—add up to something people genuinely miss when they're away.”

About once a month I order/pick up a large order of bagels & cream cheese for my place of work in Omaha. They love their bagels more than anywhere in Omaha. For my most recent order, I forgot to order enough cream cheese. I didn't open my order until I arrived to work in Omaha & found they had thrown in two extra tubs at no cost. They have the best staff & the best small shop atmosphere!!!
I purchased my coffee from Canyon Roasters next door to this location and today I decided to stop in afterwards. I have to say I've found my new coffee shop! I just purchased a hot cup of joe and toasted bagelw/plain cream cheese as my purchase and both were very good et reasonably priced. Both were a perfect compliment to reading and enjoying people watching. The team members were genuinely attentive et pleasant and the store was clean as well. I look forward to returning and trying the many other options as to food/drink, and to have a place to study college homework!
This spot is a go to every time we’re in Lincoln. Whether it's their delicious breakfast bagel sandwiches or just a classic bagel with cream cheese, they always satisfy that morning craving. They also offer a great selection of coffee and other drinks if you're not in the mood for food. The staff is always friendly, which adds to the welcoming vibe. Just a heads up this place can get busy, so don’t expect a quick in-and-out.
There were 6 of us making a quick stop to eat in between wedding dress shops. Food was good, as was location. Great employees got us in & out real fast.
The best place in town to get your bagel fix. I love the large variety of bagel and cream cheese options. 🥯 Their breakfast bagel sandwich is something my parents dream about each day they are not in Lincoln. So good.
