Cozy environment. Very friendly and peaceful establishment. Huge ass. of bagels and sandwiches

We ordered the Lew Silver basically a Lox Bagel Sandwich. It was good, but the cream cheese was warm there was something off compared to other bagel shops I have been too. I would still recommend going here, it is a cute place with relatively easy parking

Local joint- handcrafted bagels with spacious natural outdoor seating. Place your order online and enjoy the nice weather outside. Support local business- Bacon, turkey & avocado!

Awesome Place for a great Sunday morning Detroit bagel breakfast. Really good flavored water, and so excited to see lots of recycling in the city!

I visited this restaurant two mornings in a row. Its hard to beat a fresh bagel with yummy toppings like beets and goat cheese! Have a little something for everyone and a really good bagel.

I LOVE this place so much I ate here every morning for 4 days while I was staying nearby. I got the Root Bagel (beets, arugula, and goat cheese) on the rosemary and salt bagel and I wish I could bring this whole place home with me. It’s nice to see they recycle too! It would be nice to see less wrapping on the “for here” bagels or provide composting to be even more sustainable, and to offer OJ in washable cups instead of single use plastic. They offer the biggest discount I’ve ever seen for bringing our own 2-go coffee mugs, we save 50 cents off the small size price but we can get any size we want so technically the discount is more the bigger mug you have. Also lots of parking. Anyhoo, very impressed with this place :)

A great place for breakfast! They have a wide selection of bagels as well as sandwiches. The sushi bagel was fantastic!

I did not like the everything bagel as it was very chewy and dense with fennel seeds in the seasoning mix. The avocado, egg, and cheese on a jalepeno cheese bagel was okay. The iced coffee was good. I liked the outdoor space with the Adirondack chairs.

I stop here pretty much every time Im in the area. There arent many places in Michigan that have real east coast bagels. Im very particular about my bagels, and I strongly recommend this place. I love the salt bagel with garlic cream cheese, but Ive never been disappointed in any of their bagels or cream cheeses. Service is fast usually. If you like East Coast bagels, I strongly recommend this place.

Very tasty bagels and sandwiches! This is a place you wont want to miss out on if youre in Detroit!

I love this place. Great bagels and sandwiches. Love their fresh squeezed orange juice. Wish they would reopen.

Great bagel place - friendly staff and fantastic food. They have multiple varieties of bagels that you can choose from and they taste great. I tried the egg avo cheese one on multigrain everything bagel, is def something would get another day too :)

Detroit Institute of Bagels is the best place to get a quick breakfast in Detroit. Bagels and cream cheese are made from scratch and ingredients are locally sourced. Modern, hip atmosphere and the staff is always friendly and efficient even during peak times. Great for pick up, a sit down meal out on the lawn, or a quiet place to study.

Great, and I mean great bagels. Long wait but good fast service. Good coffee, vegan options.

Friendly service, fast-moving line, lovely outdoor space with a view of the city. Oh...and delicious bagels!!! Quite the assortment of bagel and cream choice choices, including vegan cream cheese.

Currently closed, from the website 10.4.2020We’re putting a pause on operations.A delivery truck took out our powerlines and subsequently fried ourwalk-in fridge. These unexpectedinfrastructure hurdles coupled withcoronavirus cases quickly returningto and surpassing their previousnationwide peaks, make it feel likethe bagel gods might be telling usto step away from the kettle for ahot minute. We plan to be back toboiling and baking as soon as possible.

A great place to get bagels in Deroits Corktown. In the morning, parking is easy on Michigan Ave., since the bars along that strip arent open yet. I had a bagel sandwich and it was delightful. Happy to see these newer establishments in Detroit. The design and decor are fun, and the service was fast.

Amazing breakfast sandwiches!

1st: Customer Service sucked until I got to the cashier (pleasant young lady), but maybe they saw my durag under my hat & thought i was coming for the free water. No good people Im here for a bagel as you call them.2nd: The bagel here was smaller than the ones Im used to enjoying at other places (cough panera, cough cough Einstein bagels, sneeze frozen bagels at grocery stores).3rd: Price compared to other locations (read last comment of 2nd) makes DIB seem over priced. I look at things in terms of house pricing, it can be big & pricey, it can be small have lots of flavor & pricey, but small with no flavor (4th coming about this) & pricey, just dont make no sense to purchase.4th: The bagel here tasted like cardboard w/ butter on it. If youre wondering how do i know what cardboard taste like, its because Ive eaten lots of food thats processed & causalities of war happens a time or two.😂 I tasted no cinnamon or raisins(they had raisins in it) in my bagel but the butter was tasty.😐 In the morning, i need flavor in anything I eat or drink to get my day started. If my eat or drink is bland, then Ill assume my morning will be5th: I did like one thing about DIB, the bag! I like the design & color.6th: Maybe I need to try something totally different, but the two bagels Ive experienced (a year apart) havent been good.

Little expensive but cool & delicious variety of bagel sandwiches :-) the good fella ($8.50) was really good !

The bagels are very good and reasonably priced. They have sandwiches and the menu is great. Cool little place with inside and outside seating. I ordered the salt bagle and it was delicious. When we were there the place was very busy. It must a local hot spot.

My husband and I have had Detroit Institute of Bagels at Eastern Market and went to the shop based on our great experience! We went on a Saturday morning and there was a line, but it moved quickly. After we ordered, we were able to find a table easily. I ordered the rosemary, olive oil, and sea salt bagel with garlic cream cheese. My husband ordered the TBA sandwich on the pretzel jalapeno bagel. We both loved what we ordered and cant wait to go back!

The Lew Silver is my deathbed breakfast sandwich. Smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, tomato, onion and some type of lemon added to it. If I was going to die in the morning, id try to slip one of those in before the undertaker showed up.They also have fresh squeezed OJ, coffee and Im sure other really good bagel sandwiches, but honestly.... Its all about the Lew Silver.

I love Detroit Institute of Bagels! The bagels are always made fresh daily. The avocado, egg, & cheese bagel option is my favorite. The staff is always welcoming and helpful with explaining the different selections. I would also recommend the peanut butter cookies that they have at the cashier, they’re delicious! Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here for breakfast or lunch.

Delicious chewy soft bagels with fresh tasty cream cheese. I also had a breakfast bagel that was very satisfying. Coffee was very good too. Service was friendly and fast. Will come back for an early weekend breakfast again!

Absolutely love this place. Their bagel sandwiches and fresh squeezed OJ is some of the best Ive had. Their bagels are perfectly crisp on the outside. Highly recommend going early to avoid the crowd.

This place has the best tasting bagels around! I drive from Livonia just to get them... and never disappoints.

Always yummy. Required stop in corktown.

Such good bagel sandwiches! This place has never disappointed, and is the perfect place for a warm sunny morning as they have a great dog friendly outdoor area to eat as well. We love coming here and wish it was closer to where we live, but stop in any chance we get.

On weekends the line goes through the entire bagel shop but there is a reason for it... their bagels are incredible! They have a wide variety of flavors including, my favorite, rosemary olive oil. Their bagel sandwich menu is awesome and they have vegan options and you can swap cream cheese out for hummus!

Great bagels - try the rosemary sea salt! Sandwiches prepared in reasonable time and tasted great. Good coffee as well. Seemed a tad pricey to me.

Great spot to grab a delicious bagel sandwich! I loved my TBA (turkey, bacon, avocado plus Gouda) on an everything bagel. Inside and outside seating, too.

Unreal good sandwiches. I got the TBA on salt and was very satisfied. There was a short wait and cucumber water for the line. Would highly recommend going here.

Brunch and munch in a cornerstone of Corktown area. Great spot for breakfast and lunch. Quick, quaint and comfortable setting for small intimate dining. Located on Michigan Ave and the Lodge service drive; youll enjoy the experience of fresh bagels, sandwich and a delightful selection of beverages. Visit this treasure soon.

Love these bagels. So fresh. And have made the drive from the burbs just to have them. Some of the best around. Love the Le rouge bagel sandwich.Their outdoor space is cute and inviting.This place is a must stop while in Cortown.

They have a variety of interesting bagel sandwiches which are perfect for breakfast and brunch. They have some with salmon, chorizo, bacon, egg, etc. Every time I go here they are very quick to take your order and the food is always great. Ive tried a number of different sandwiches and havent had one that I didnt like yet. I will be returning frequently.

Our go-to place for bagels. The avocado one is really good. Best is to go early or during the week. It gets pretty busy during the week end. I really recommend this place if you are a bagel fan.

There may be a note on that giant board and I may have missed it, but I was shocked by the thick consistency of the peanut butter. I presume that it is a natural (not mass produced) grind. That isnt my preference.

Best. Bagels. Ever.

Bagels for kids. Bagels for ma and pa. Bagels for you. Bagels for your boss who sent you here on a brunch run. Im not sure about bagels for your dog, but this is a dog friendly train station, minus the trains. Surf safely comrades.

We beat the rush and there was still a healthy line... But it moved quick and we got our order in no time. The food is fresh and the bagels are the best in SE Michigan... We cant wait to get back there!

Great atmosphere. Really quick service. Amazing coffee. Best of all the sesame seed Bagels had a massive amount of sesame seeds on both sides. So so good I would come here every day if I lived in Detroit.

Did a repair here yesterday and stuck around for a coffee and a Colmena sandwich on an everything bagel. Wow - so good! Seems like with each new sandwich I try on the menu, the better this place gets. In addition to the Colmena, check out the Ginsberg and the Tuna Melt. My goodness!

Their bagels are not like the ones Im used to. They arent soft like your typical Einstein or New York Bagel, they are delightfully crunchy on the outside and they have phenomenal flavors. Also, their lemon cream cheese is an obsession of mine. And their sandwiches are fantastic!

These bagels are excellent... Texture, flavor, vibe... All on point. The everything bagel is hands down one of the best bagels I have had, anywhere...ever. The jalapeno cheddar bagel was also incredible. It is my goal to try one of every bagel ...oh and the veggie cream cheese...yes..so much yes.

These bagels are so full of flavor you eat them all plain.

The decor is nice. The service was good. The selection was pretty good. The dislikes were, they dont have decaf coffee...at all. The bagels were very chewy and hard. I got whitefish as a topping; and it was whitefish salad apparently. I checked the menu later to see if that is what it was listed as, but had not realized it. Nope...its listed as whitefish, but is actually whitefish salad. It was loaded with red onions. And I mean loaded. It also had dill and celery, cut very thick. There was such a strong onion and mayo taste that I couldnt enjoy the whitefish. It wasnt just a disappointment of getting what I wasnt expecting, it was that plus the fact that it wasnt very good. I wouldnt go back. I was with a friend who wasnt too impressed either.

This is by far the best bagels in town and even compared to other towns. From the minute you walk in, received by courteous smiley people.great quality bagels. Also if you are a picky eater like me, you will notice that the eggs are made fresh there and if you ask for egg whites, they are real (not box ones). Great for breakfast and lunch sandwiches.must come if you are ever in town!

Located close to home, this place offers up great coffee and even better bagels. Things are reasonably priced and their are many options. Staff is extremely friendly and service is fast. Never waited more than 2-3 minutes for my meal. Definitely check them out.

Was searching for bagels or donuts and found this place. Not right downtown but close enough to try it out. Very happy. Bagel was great and the vibe was nice. Recommend for a good bagel.

Nice bagel selection and quick service. Ive tried several of their spreads and theyre all good. Its great to get bagels from a local store rather than going somewhere thats a chain!

Really neat spot! Had the Lew Silver with a rosemary sea salt bagel. Absolutely delicious! They have a discount on the rosemary bagels through the month of February. Unlike most other rosemary bagels, theirs was not overpowering and yet had a clear rosemary flavor, a nice crunch and was right out of the oven.

Yummy yum yum. No frills. Bagels and schmear. Worth standing in line because the crowd is so damn hip.

Great Customer Service!!! Bagels are just better than store bought though. A little pricey to me but the customer service and atmosphere is stellar. Cucumber water is great too... Add half a star

I really like this place. My wrestlers specifically request that we go here after weigh-ins the morning of the state tournament.

Great fresh bagels and fresh squeezed juice. A gem in downtown on a crisp fall morning when you wake up hungry. Friendly staff and atmosphere.

After having a family brunch here for about 10 times, I have decided to write a good review. The food is always great here, with a very good price. The only thing bothering me is the fact that not all servers here are good.

This bagel shop has amazing bagels, in addition to creative sandwiches, abundant wood & houseplants, and cucumber water. It is conveniently located on Michigan Ave just outside downtown. Theyve got their own little parking lot and a patio for nice weather. These bagels are definitely worth it if youre looking for something way beyond grocery-store-shelf quality.

We love this place. The bagels are 5 ⭐ and they have a couple vegan spreads and fresh veggie toppings. Then they have an outdoor Green space to eat and sip your coffee 🙌 What a way to start the day

A nice selection of bagels and breakfast-type sandwiches.We visited here around 11am on a Monday. The crowd has a younger with a hip feel, but was quiet and not too crowded.I ordered The Elmo (roasted red pepper, avacodo, hummus, cucumber, and arugula) on a toasted salt bagel. Delicious! The cucumbers are sliced long and thin, which was very pleasing.Girlfriend ordered something sweet with sausage on it. She liked hers too.We would definitely come again.

Great bagel selection and sandwiches. Best choices are sesame, jalapeño, or everything bagel. I recommend you call in advance as morning lines are long and the parking lot is open and in a shady part of Detroit. The coffee is also standard drip so I usually bring my own. Place is dog friendly.

Way overpriced! Same bagel in Brooklyn NY, where I lived for 16years, is about half the price. The slowest service for the easiest food.

This place gets it, boiled then baked, REAL BAGELS! Good people, great service. Brought a couple dozen to the office a few times. The team loves them. Only one issue, no onion bagels, really!!!

Went for Sunday morning coffee and breakfast. The bagels were fresh. My hunny thought the coffee was strong. But I enjoyed the delicious egg and avocado on everything bagel and my coffee. Great service. Pleasant way to start our Sunday. Will be back.

The best bagel sandwich Ive had. We had visitors and took them here for the 1st time, and we will be back for a second, third and fourth. You cant go wrong with any bagel you choose.

Great bagel sandwiches, tons of flavors, and a solid array of drinks and such. Egg cheese and avocado is the jam

They have really awesome homemade cream cheeses, but they dont have a honey walnut variety, which is disappointing.The space is a bit awkward and the service is slow. They have a weird assembly line instead of one person helping you with an order.The bagels are decent.

Great bagels! Since they are boiled they have the right amount of proper chew to them versus baked/bread bagels. Wish there wasnt a 1 dollar upcharge for Asiago or Rosemary bagels.

I miss custom orders. Its nice that they are open at all

Absolutely to die for! I came to visit my hometown and was introduced to this gem. Amazing, great priced, delicious! The Ginsberg was the best thing I ever tasted.

The bacon, egg, and cheese bagel was wonderful! The coffee was also great! I wish I had ordered each one of the bagels to try.

They make the best bagels Ive ever eaten. Used to get a weekly bagel order for the office from them and they were so personable and always had it ready on time, bright and early. Theyre really accommodating and they make a mean bagel sandwich.

We came here because Brooklyn Street Local had a 45 minute wait. Which works out perfectly, everyone in my party really enjoyed having breakfast here. It was crowded, but still very pleasant. The sun was out, and people were having their bagels on the patio despite the early March chill. I was a little bummed that they were out of vegan cream cheese, but i did notice two of their bagel sandwiches have vegan iptions available, which i really appreciated. I ended up with a toasted honey whole wheat, with peanut butter and jam, and an ALG drought juice. Everything was tastey, and it was a really pleasant experience.

Excellent food and service. Can get super busy on weekends. The cheddar jalapeno bagel is the best. They have monthly specials with bagel sandwiches, and cream cheese that can be super creative and keep me coming back regularly to see whats new. I also like that with their seasonal pastries they pick a local nonprofit to donate proceeds to. Makes me feel good about caving to my sweets cravings. The staff are super friendly, and make you feel at home.

Delicious bagels and unique flavors! A must visit when in the area.

Bumping back up my review since i have had a hard time getting bagels in Chicago. Bagels are always fresh, the sandwiches are delicious and the cream cheese is amazing. Get the Jalapeno/Cheddar with Scallion cream cheese. You will be in heaven.

Great food and service, but it is one of the smokiest experiences. There is no smoke extraction in the kitchen, which is in the center of the cafe. In the summer, you have the choice of eating outside, but in the winter months beware that the smoke is enough to impact your experience.

My grandson Marcus Morris brags about how good the food is at the bagel shop I havent had the pleasure of eating there yet so I cant rate them but I know Marcus would give them five stars

The cream cheeses are very tasty. The bagels are kind of tough but flavorful.

Yummmmm. Its all good! Cant go wrong.

If you love bagels you will LOVE DIB!!! My favorite is probably the jalapeño and cheddar bagel with bacon egg and cheese. Every now and then I try one of their more eclectic sandwich recipes and have not been let down. If you don’t like sandwich bagels don’t worry their bagels are amazingly good by themselves. And thanks for serving quality coffee at the same time! Killin it!

Food was good. But the vibe from some of the staff was...off for me. Wont be going back

Im from the North East and were very particular about our bagels. DIBs has the best bagels and breakfast sandwiches Ive had in Michigan. They also have an awesome atheistic and great view of downtown!

This is a very good bagel place. They have the standard bagel fare, as well as some creative sandwiches, bagels, soups, etc.Im knocking it down to 4 stars for two reasons:1) Theyre very expensive, with the average bagel cost (no spread, cream cheese, etc) being $2 a bagel.2) Their bagels do not keep well. They get stale within 2 days tops.Otherwise, definitely a good place and I go quite frequently. Just wish they were a bit more modest in price and that their product kept longer.

This place is exactly what the neighborhood needs! Its a small breakfast spot that serves a wide range of bagel sandwiches and spreads. They get really creative with their bagel flavors, but also have plain ones, so you can please anyone here. They do have coffee but didnt seem to have tea when I went, and they sell freshly squeezed juices on occasion. The staff is friendly, and they have a nice outdoor patio.

Lox and smear! Yum!

Fantastic food. Creative options and you cant go wrong. Only downside is its a little pricy.

Pretty good, pricey though I got the ham egg and cheese bagel and I want at all impressed with the ham that was on it really did not taste like great ham. Atmosphere was ok not a lot of seating people were nice, just expensive and I dont think the food was that great.

To be fair, the food here is fantastic.I usually only get bagels with cream cheese and the price seems high at first but they really are worth it.My complaint is with a few members of the staff. I received a bagel with very little spread and made a request for more. Most of my orders since have been like that or with the spread on the outside of the bagel creating a mess. Its not that hard of a task which only leads me to believe its done on purpose and out of spite.Also, as a warning, this is New Detroit so be prepared for an extra large dose of weekend pretentiousness.

We stopped in from out of town and absolutely loved it!

Always Delicious and is Dog Friendly. The Smoked whitefish salad Bagel is my favorite. I go here once a week😁

Great place for awesome bagels and sandwiches with nice relaxed atmosphere for hangin out!

Seems like a very good bagels place, if you are a bagels person. Personally, i am skipped the bagels due to limited time I had, and the long line.Nice outside area, with great cyclists company...

Kinda pricy, like some of the bagels are 2.50. really good bagel flavor. Funny thing is I used to make the bagels here and I quit because Howbert was too picky about the hole size of the bagels, but every time I go here now I get some gnarly looking bagels😂. I think its cool that theyre not perfectly round though. Recently though I am really into buying a bag of 6 bad bagels from Aldi for $1.50. If you think of them more as sweet buns or something theyre really good, plus they dont turn rock hard after 24 hours like these artisanal bagels.

Decent bagels, but Ive had much better at Jewish delis. A cool location however. Hipster bagels lol overpriced to be honest. Still probably some of the better bagels in the downtown area.

Great location. Fast and tasty sandwiches

They have the best bagels in the area. If you like lox, they make their own and theyre very good.

Amazing bagels, I had the TBA and it was incredible. My only regret is that I didnt get more bagels. I cant wait to go back.

What I ordered was great ! Very clean place

This little bagel shop in Corktown had beautiful decor and layout. The space was large and had enough seating. My substitute to cream cheese was an avocado spread. They had other vegan options, so I will definitely be going again for a chill Saturday morning coffee n bagel.
