Awesome bagels and very nice and friendly owners! A must stop!

Delicious as ever. I know theyve scaled down, but that hasnt affected the taste. My favorite has always been the everything bagel (toasted with cream cheese please😆).

Hot Bagel is wonderful! The bagels are amazing & the croissants melt in your mouth. As a matter of fact, everything that I have ever had there has been just wonderful. Donna, the owner, is such a big personality. She really makes the place what it is. I love going in there - its just one of those places that feels like where you belong.

Everything you can get at Hot Bagel is so good. Whenever I am in town they keep me well fed with excellent food. And the eclairs are the absolute best to be had anywhere. Wish they were in my town!

Hot Bagel Co. is an Oak Ridge tradition which, sadly, is going away next year. The owners are retiring after almost 25 years of serving the best bagels in the city. The food has always been good, particularly for breakfast. We will miss Hot Bagel sorely.

Awesome food as always. Never a bad experience in this small family owned bagel shop. Donna (owner/counter person) always has a smile and kind thing to say. Best bagels Ive had from anywhere.

Fresh delicious homemade bagels! Prices are pretty high but its worth it for a treat now and then. Sad theyre closing soon to retire.

Hot Bagel is amazing ...best bagels ever they dont even compare with others.

My first experience at this place was excellent, got a pumpernickel bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon or lox, capers, red onion, juicy tomato and boy oh boy did it just sure hit the spot. The gentleman and the lady that was there were very nice to me brief conversation, its no wonder theyve been there as long as they have.

The sundried tomato with smoked salmon, capers, red onion and el bandito smear is amazing

I love this place! Its so good my father in law (originally from Brooklyn) drives from Nashville to pick them up. Sure he says its to visit, but we know its for the Bagels 😉

Always a pleasure to stop by here. Will miss the bagels and all the baked goods.

Best bagels in Tennessee. Its also a locally owned business. The owners are great folks. It can get busy around lunch but definitely worth it. Highly recommended.

It is just a delight, an old fashioned bagel bakery plus numerous other goodies to choose from. On Fridays there is usually wonderful breads in addition to bagels. Delicious food, good coffee, low carb diet be dammed....

Foods REALLY good(yum!)& fairly priced($). Nice atmosphere💒, friendly service😊 & great coffee☕ too. Very enjoyable.💯💋

The paninis take a bit but they are so good! Everything Ive had there has been great. Oh and definitely get a croissant if they have any left!

Excellent everyrhing bagel with cream cheese. Privately locally owned and operated. Neat decorations all around.

Great food nice owners as well a must try...

Nice couple running this establishment. Everything they touch tastes amazing.

Delicious! I always have tuna on a plain bagel. If you like savory tuna salad with onions and celery, you will love their tuna salad. Fast, friendly service.

Excellent local place to get a great breakfast. Also, try the egg salad. Yummy!

Loved the sourdough breakfast bagel. The bagel was sour enough to taste sourdough, but not overpowering. The breakfast was hot and made to order. Highly recommend if youre looking for a simple breakfast in Oak Ridge, TN.

Ive been going to the Hot Bagel ever since they first opened - only four tables then! Tom and Donna have always run a first rate local business with an excellent variety of bagels, sandwiches and side items. Did I mention the coffee is outstanding? Oh, the coffee is pretty darn good too!

I stop there for Breakfast when I drop my daughter off at school at St. Marys. The food and coffee is great and the people in the restaurant treat you like family. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from the impersonal chain restaurants and dine somewhere they will be appreciated.

Delicious bagels and sandwiches. They have every kind of bagel. The eclair was also very good.

Can not emphasize enough on how great the bagels are, I got a sandwich bagel & omg to die for!!! Definitely my new favorite place ! The lady there was just the sweetest even though I came in like 20 mins before close & still got amazing service!! If you havent tried this place yet PLEASE do, youll be hooked. Puts Einstein bagels to shame!!

Everytime I am in town I must stop by this cafe for a great lunch and even better cannolis. Their cannolis can sell out rather quickly, but if you give them a days notice they can whip up a batch for you. The attendants/owners are quite friendly and they really talk to you. Not just the typical Hi, how are you? Next customer pleaseOpening hours are rather different, so be careful if you intend to make a spur of the moment visit.

Amazing bagels. Gotta get there early so they dont sell out.

It reminds me of a good local ny style bagel place. This bagel place is been here for a very long time and its very local which I like. The service can be a little off sometimes but keep in mind is a local place with Bakers Who are waking up really early in the morning to bake bread for people to eat so I guess I would be able to cranky too sometimes

Cheerful courteous service and really good food. Always enjoy going there.

This place is great. The people are very friendly and pleasant and the food is fantastic.

Love the bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel! $4.75 call it in n pick it up - perfect!

I have never been disappointed with the food or service. Excellent sandwiches made with fresh ingredients.

Everything is here is wonderful. Good service, good food and a friendly place to be.

Hot Bagel has the best bagels in East Tn...BAR NONE. Fun atmosphere.. Donna keeps the place hopping

Awesome food! Great atmosphere

Amazing bagels, bagelwhiches, bread and pastries

Really good bagels and coffee, and Donna is just the nicest person to talk too!

Hands down great bagels/sandwiches! Service is great and owner is very active with the local community.

Bagels made the NY way, good coffee, great, local atmosphere.

The bagels were good, but the service was absolutely terrible. The woman at the counter was incredibly rude. Easily the worst customer experience I have ever had in Tennessee.

It is always a pleasure to stop by, the food is fantastic and the owners are even better!

VERY limited seating. Good coffee and breakfast rolls.

Only place for true, geat bagels and all very nice staff.

I love this little hidden charm. I look forward for my saturday mornings because they have German Rolls and German Breads. I am from Germany and miss my Breads and Rolls and the Hot Bagel is definitely filling that void. I love the owners too, Donna does a lot for Dog Rescues and the Lupus Foundation and she also rides her bike at different charities. She is amazing. Tom is always the quiet one behind the curtain but his Baked Goods are awesome. Love this place. Thank you guys for beeing here.

Best bagels in town...its an experience

Everything here is great other than the owner being a Steelers fan lol...
