GoodFellas Bagel Deli
Inside of Capital City Market, East Lansing, MI
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside a Meijer, GoodFellas Bagel Deli punches well above its unexpected location with made-to-order bagel sandwiches that keep regulars coming back weekly for their consistency and care. The genuine staff and reliable execution—even on busy Sunday mornings when waits stretch to 15 minutes—make this quick grab feel less like a grocery store kiosk and more like a neighborhood spot worth planning your morning around.”

I was slightly thrown off when I had to walk into a Meijer to get to GoodFellas Bagel. GoodFellas is kind of just like a little stand within the store. But, it was solid! Made to order bagel sandwiches which are pretty good. But, even better than the food was the service. Adrian was awesome. Adrian was extremely friendly and I had a great chat with him. Really appreciated his kindness.
So my visit to goodfellas was actually unplanned, but I’m so glad I ended up there. I was on a road trip from Chicago to Toronto and I had already pre-planned where my breakfast stop was gonna be, but when I got there they had run out of food for the day (it was a coffee shop). I quickly went to google, found Goodfellas and headed there. So good! I got a basic but delicious bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel. It hit the spot! Probably the best bacon I’ve ever tasted on a breakfast sandwich. So glad my original plans fell through.
i’ve eaten at goodfellas almost every week for the past few months. my food has come out perfect, every. single. time. and my order is pretty loaded too. their employees are genuine — they treat their customers with respect and orders with care. for people who complain about the wait times, clearly you see they they’re limited on space and number of employees right? if you’re in a crunch for time, go get fast food. or have some patience and respect for food service workers. goodfellas is worth the wait. i never even liked breakfast sandwiches until i tried goodfellas. i seriously love this place and i look forward to it every week. 10/10 recommend.
Badly prepared $10 bagel sandwich. Burnt to black bacon!, barely cream cheese, and burnt top of the everything bagel, which was very dry and hard. By far, it is the worst bagel sandwiches we have ever purchased. This is our 5th experience, and after having it great the first time, we are done trying to find a decent experience again. I don't recommend eating here. My wife was pretty sure the only person working at the time was the owner... that was a clear sign that we should go elsewhere for a bagel sandwich. They need some chef Ramsey help or something because it seems by the reviews that this place was good a couple of years ago. Even if the prices were half as much, I would go somewhere else...
We ordered "The Don" on a Sunday morning. Was told they were running about a half hour wait, totally fine with us as we love walking around the Meijer store. Ended up being about 15 minutes or so. The food came out hot and delish! Would definitely recommend stopping in here as a treat while you shop. The two ladies working were very pleasant as well. We'll be back for sure!
