Crema's Take
“This Little Rock bagel shop has earned serious devotion for nailing the NYC standard that transplants and locals alike are craving — their lox bagel is consistently called the best in the state, with that perfect chew and authentic flavor that makes you forget you're not in Manhattan. The care extends beyond the bagels themselves to creative combinations like jalapeño bagel sandwiches and a welcoming atmosphere that smells as good as it tastes, with staff that matches the genuine warmth of the space.”

I split my time between NYC & Little Rock. This place is the closest thing to a NYC bagel I can get in the area! The Lox bagel is a staple in NYC and Morningside Bagels Lox matches the flavor (and size) of this classic and cherished item of the Big Apple. They have delicious coffee. Our favorite is thwir Iced Latte with Vanilla. If Lox isnt for you, a must have is the simple, yet classy Everything bagel. I like to pair it with their Honey Almond cream cheese. They make all of their cream cheeses & bagels in house!! The atmosphere reminds me of the small bagels shops you'd find in NYC. The staff are all friendly, which solidifies why this is the best Bagel shop in the Little Rock metro area.
I went to MorningSide this morning for the first time. My wife and I ordered the American (Sausage,egg, and cheese) on a jalapeño bagel. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I can remember. The bagel was very soft and easy to eat. It was toasted perfectly and had the perfect spice to complement the rest of the sandwich. This was very flavorful and I am sure anything you order here will be as good as what I had today. This is a high quality establishment. The service was great and staff very friendly.
Best Lox Bagel in the State Morningside Bagels has officially ruined other bagel shops for me — nothing else comes close. Their lox bagel is hands-down the best in the entire state. The bagel itself is fresh and perfectly chewy, the smoked salmon is rich and flavorful, and the cream cheese + toppings are always spot on. Every bite tastes like quality. The staff is friendly, the service is fast even when they’re busy, and the whole place has a welcoming, local vibe. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast on the go or sitting down to enjoy it, you can’t go wrong here. If you love a good lox bagel, this is the place. I’d give it more stars if I could. Don't forget a cup of velvet hammer coffee!!!
Best Bagel Shop! My friend raved about this place and brought me here. The plain bagels are sticky, aromatic, chewy, and absolutely delicious. The waitstaff were all very courteous and kept the inside very clean. The shop had two bar seats and three tables. You can even sit outside when the weather is nice. I will definitely come back here again!
Fantastic!!! We finally made time to come over here, and man, we're so glad we did! You walk in, and it smells fabulous. They have SO MANY bagel choices. My husband got The Lox Bagel (salmon, capers, tomato, onions, and cream cheese on a garlic bagel), and I got The King (bacon, peanut butter, and strawberry jam on a maple bacon bagel). SO GOOD! I also got a coffee and noticed they use ice made of coffee, so your iced coffee doesn't get watered down! Coffee was very strong and kinda basic, but no big deal. We also took advantage of their day old bagels they sell for about a $1/each. The bagels are HUGE, so it's worth the price! The place was very clean, everyone was friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. We'll be back! 😍
