Bagelshop - Donelson
2708 Old Lebanon Rd, Nashville, TN
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Donelson, this neighborhood gem combines exceptional craft coffee with some of Nashville's best bagels, creating a rare spot where both elements truly shine rather than one overshadowing the other. The welcoming staff and comfortable, lingering atmosphere—whether you're settling in with a laptop or catching up with friends—make it feel like your local favorite from day one, though you might want to claim an outdoor seat if conversation is on the agenda.”

Oh my goodness, the bagels are amazing! The coffee is great, and the staff is lovely. The only drawback for us was that our was hard to hear each other-- it was better outside (except for the planes, trains, and automobiles, ha!). Still well worth going!
Bagelshop was fantastic. It’s the kind of place you can sit comfortably for a while, inside or out. The craft coffee was smooth, which isn’t always the case at places that specialize in bagels. The bagels are fresh and hearty, with generous seasoning on both sides. My favorite was the “spicy everything” bagel. You don’t see many everything bagels stray from the standard recipe, but the addition of pepper flakes was a really nice touch. The customer service was great as well. I actually witnessed an encounter with an unreasonable customer, and the staff handled it with real graciousness and professionalism.
Came in craving a bagel this morning in Nashville and this spot popped up on a quick search. Had a little trouble finding it at first since the GPS dropped me in the middle of a parking lot, but I’m really glad I kept looking. It’s tucked underneath a residential area on the edge of the shopping center and totally worth the effort. The bagels were exceptional and honestly exceeded my expectations. Great selection of drinks and food which I hope to explore on next visit, but for this one I went with an everything bagel with “The New Yorker” which is their lox cream cheese with capers, red onions, dill, and olive oil and it was outstanding. Fresh tasting bagel that hit the spot. I got it with the scallion dill cream cheese too which was a win. To drink I grabbed a cold brew, which paired perfectly and while I was hesitant with so many good coffee spots around it was another win. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the vibe is exactly what you want… Super chill, minimalistic coffee shop feel with really good bagels to go with the drinks. Highly recommend this place. Already bookmarked and will definitely be back.
This is one of our favorite places to go for yummy breakfast and coffee! The staff is always so kind and accommodating. Every single thing I’ve tried has been DELICIOUS. EVERY. SINGLE. THING. the atmosphere is clean and always friendly when we bring our toddler! Their menu always has new and intriguing combinations to try for bagels and coffee. If you haven’t been, you need to make a trip!
One of my absolute favorite spots in town!! Sometimes so multiple times a week. Everyone is always so friendly and gives great recommendations. The bagels are the best in town, I’ve tried a lot of bagels here and these are my favorite and don’t even get me started on their coffee!! Chef’s kiss! They really take time to curate their menu and have created a great variety of options and seasonal rotations!
