Brothers Bagel
3805 Hixson Pike, Chattanooga, TN
Crema's Take
“Brothers Bagel is a genuine neighborhood gem that opens early and closes early, making it the perfect pre-dawn destination for hand-rolled bagels that actually rival New York City standards—their jalapeño cheese bagel with pepper onion spread is a must-try. The warmth here comes not just from fresh-baked carbs but from the consistently friendly staff and the kind of nostalgic, local atmosphere that regulars have turned into a Saturday morning ritual, where families and coffee lovers alike linger over breakfast bagels loaded with eggs and hash browns.”

Perfect rainy Sunday warm spot! Breakfast bagel with hashbrowns eggs, and the #musttry pepper onion flavor spread on jalapeño cheese bagel. #FRESH #firsttime shared half a bagel - filled my little belly WILL COME AGAIN! FYI: no cash options.
We love Brother’s Bagels! My husband and I have made it part of our Saturday morning routine and are regulars at this point. The atmosphere gives warm, local, and nostalgic and there’s a ton of flavor variety. It’s always busy on the weekends, so sometimes we will order online and just pick up, which has been super smooth. We also don’t mind going in and waiting. Staff has always been incredibly friendly. We’ve only ever had one little hiccup there, and they immediately made it right. The only time we are ever disappointed is when they run out of our favorites- but that’s usually our own faults for not getting up-and-at-it, ha! Highly recommend!
I've known about this place for about a year, but because they close so early and only do pickup, I'd never tried them. I tried them for the first time the week before Christmas and I'm obsessed. Their bagels are delicious, their handcrafted drinks are superb. The parmesan rosemary bagel is my favorite. The turmeric ginger latte is my go-to. My only gripe was, I last minute decided to bring a dozen bagels and 2 containers of CC, with a single serving of Vegan CC, to the office a couple days before Christmas. There wasn't an option on the takeout menu to slice them. When I got there the attendant told me she added freezer bags, which was very thoughtful, but I told her I was taking them to the office. It ended up not being a big deal but everyone had to slice their bagels with a plastic knife in our office break room. Even if I were buying bagels in bulk, I couldn't think of an instance where I wouldn't want the bagels sliced. I think it would be helpful to add more selections to the bulk bagels option! Much love to this group though, I love the atmosphere and vibes of the place. Everyone is so nice.
As a lover of nyc bagels I was a little worried but wanted to give them a chance. I ordered a dozen of bagels online and when I arrived at 6:02am they were ready. The staff was very friendly and they were accommodation with any request I had. The hash browns were fresh, super crispy and delicious. The bagel was thick fluffy and everything I could have expected. The coffee is self serve and they have 2 different options. Of course I tried both and both were tasty. The space is very cute and family friendly with a kids corner so adults can enjoy their conversation while the little ones play. Over all this place is a must visit. When I arrived 2 mins after opening everything was available, hot, and fresh. I have nothing to offer besides my money as they nailed the experience at every turn!!!
BEST bagel shop in chatt, hands down. The bagels are as close to a NYC bagel as you'll get outside of the city. Everyone is always so friendly and despite it being pretty consistently busy the service is quick.
