The Bodega at Roebling
326 Scott St, Covington, KY
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Covington's Roebling neighborhood, this New York-style bagel shop is still finding its footing but already winning hearts with genuinely excellent sandwiches—think Italian meats on everything bagels that locals are calling some of the best they've had. The vibe is welcoming and unhurried, perfect for lingering over a flavorful Americano while the friendly staff keeps things running, though you might want to arrive when the music level isn't quite so loud. It's the kind of unpretentious spot that feels like a happy discovery, especially if you're craving an authentic East Coast sandwich experience in northern Kentucky.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

The staff here are genuinely nice people, and the atmosphere is pleasant enough to make it a decent spot to stop in. That said, I was really disappointed to learn that the bagels are not sourced from where they claim. They’re using Kroger-purchased products — including Dave’s…
