Bagels & Joe
4701 Old Cheney Rd E, Lincoln, NE
Crema's Take
“This Lincoln spot nails the dual personality of a neighborhood gathering place: whether you're hitting the drive-thru on a snowy morning or settling in for a slow sit, you'll find genuinely kind staff and espresso that actually gets attention (reviewers specifically praised the crema). The fresh bagels are satisfying without being heavy, and the coffee strikes that sweet spot of strong without bitterness, making it easy to understand why people keep coming back despite the occasional operational hiccup.”

I always have a good experience here but felt compelled to leave a review this morning because the drive thru worker was just so incredibly friendly on this really blustery & snowy day. Food is always so yummy & we really enjoy their smoothies!
She repeated my order in the drive thru but I didn’t check it till I was almost home. Not only did she forget two items but I asked for a bagel with a side of cream cheese and instead they toasted and put it on which ruined it for the purpose I bought it. Spent $32 and got about $15 worth… NOT good service
Great bagels and coffee, but there are definitely some management challenges to be sorted out. I just waited 20 minutes to get a cup of coffee as staff members scurried around, trying to keep up with drive-through customers plus a line out the door in-house.
I had one of the best espresso experiences here. The employee that made my mocha did a phenomenal job- the crema on top was amazing! Her service was so thoughtful and generous on serving my gluten sensitivity. I was so blessed. Thank you.
Just plain good. The breakfast bagels are a good size but not overwhelming. The ingredients seem and taste fresh, especially the avocado. The coffee is strong but not bitter. Nice ambience with top 40 music playing and plenty of people enjoying their meals and chatting.
