Amazing New York Style bagels! I have been missing NYC bagels since my college went virtual and these hit the spot! Literally brought me back to the bustling streets of NYC. The perfect bagel in every way. I got an everything bagel with rosemary and garlic schmear. It was amazing with the perfect ratio of cream cheese to bagel in my opinion. This is the only bagel place you will ever need in KC.

Having worked a bagle shop for some years in the past I can say the quality here is excellent. When asked where to find such standards as a Bagel n Lox with capers I always suggest Meshuggah first. This is a small and popular local shop. There can be a line so order in advance for pickup.Always tip well and be patient.

Best bagels in KC. I get the whitefish on salt bagel with tomatoes, onions, capers almost every Saturday and it has to be my favorite sandwich in the city. No one else in the city proper makes authentic NY-style bagels like this.

Incredible - let me say that again: INCREDIBLE bagels. Ive heard about this place forever but finally just went for an everything bagel with salmon schmear. It was practically life-changing. I cant wait to go back.

Excellent breakfast items, delicious coffee. I had an Americano and it tasted delicious. Nice place to stop by.

Dont get me wrong, the bagels are great, but the price is a little high for the Midwest. New York bagels at New York prices I guess. Its a cute little shop. I got an everything bagel with lox and an onion bagel. When they say, The lox are really salty, they mean REALLY SALTY. With the capers, its almost too much. Ill definitely be getting the smoked salmon instead next time.

A chance for real New York style (boiled) bagels and bialys! Great assortment (whole wheat, rye, everything, etc.). Going back for the whitefish salad... A great find for East Coasters!!!

This bagel place is super homey and their bagels are soft and crispy. The staff was very pleasant, and by the time you make your order it’s basically done and ready for you to take out or stay and eat in their cute homey sitting area. Would highly suggest stopping by here for a quick breakfast or slow Saturday morning.

I don’t live in KC, but I swing by here every time I’m in town. They have a wide assortment of well made bagels and dozens of toppings and schmears. I would highly recommend this lovely place.

What a great place to Nosh! Very good bagel, and I have had a few in my day. Would give a 5 star if the two guys making the bagels were more personable. They seemed more like a New York deli guys, you are bothering them by just being there.

Nova sandwich was the way to go and I added capers and onion with plain schmeer! Reminded me of home back on the east coast will definitely be back next time I’m in KC!

These bagels are so good! Tried the sesame bagel with the rosemary & garlic smear, wow soo yummy!! Cant wait to try the other homemade schmears :)

I have spent my whole life in Missouri, but my mom is from New York so its safe to say Im an authority on New York bagels and these hit.

They are ONLY open for carryout ... hit up Mudpie or Goat and Rabbit if youre looking for good coffee & a cozy atmosphere!(I had a super-long review posted here, but its not worth it. Good bagels, ok coffee, subpar atmosphere ... there are better places to spend your $$ on 39th Street. Avoid the disappointment of dropping $10 on a bagel & coffee only to be told you cant eat it there, and they dont have a patio to sit on.) First & last time at this location for me.

Great bagels, fast service. Small location but great atmosphere!

I have high standards when it comes to bagels...among the best Ive ever had

Real bagels. Salt bagels even! No dine-in for the time being but oh what a joy to have lox.

The team working was kind and helpful - even gave us samples first to help us decide what we wanted. Loved the decorations and cool restored furniture.And the bagels were delicious - we got a dozen to go! (And we are from NY and have high standards for bagels!)

The best bagels Ive had outside of NYC. Quick, friendly service, hundreds of possible combinations. Loved the bagel with pastrami nova salmon!!

It’s not the best bagel place, lots of choices but odd flavors

Very good shop for fresh bagels and flavorful toppings! Well worth a drive to bring some home. Quick service considering the lines of eager customers!

Was super excited to get to have a rye bagel and some whitefish spread. Took some pastrami lox to go to. Cant get that in St Louis near me. Delicious!

Delicious! As someone from the East coast I appreciate a good bagel and these are the best in Kansas City.

Incredible. Clearly quality and care are put into the crafting and baking of these bagels. I will absolutely be back.

Actual New York style bagels

Cute little shop, even though you cannot sit right now because of our current circumstances. Fast service, amazing bagels. The veggie cream cheese was very garlicky, a little too much for me but my everything bagel was delicious. And my husband loved his sesame seed bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Coffee is amazing would love an iced option that isn’t cold brew on these hot days! Overall great place!

Oh my gosh! RUN, dont walk, to this amazing little shop! The bagels are AMAZING!! Crispy chewy on the outside, doughy soft on the inside, and the strawberry schmear is to die for!!

This place was fantastic! Very simple, straightforward menu: primarily bagels, a variety of cream cheeses, and some salmon or veggie addition options. The everything bagel with rosemary cream cheese and scallion cream cheese was delicious! Service is quick and the coffee is very good too.

DO I EVER LOVE THOSE BAGELS!GETTING SO MAMY PEOPLE HOCKED...THEY ARE JUST THE BEST!

Kind, welcoming staff. Tiny parking lot, I had to park in the back.Five different people came in (including myself) and asked for five different types of bagels - all of which they were out of. WAY too much schmear if they slather it on for you.The cost was $14 for three bagels, none of which were the flavors I intended to purchase.Average flavor - no better than Einstein’s or Panera.

Wonderful bagels and charming staff. Make sure to to try the salmon! The garlic & Rosemary spread was especially good.

Have heard good things about this place- it cost $22 for three bagels and three chocolate milks. Im from a town about two hours away and am spoiled with a local bagel place that is absolutely delicious and super inexpensive less than $3 for a bagel with cream cheese, thought Meshuggahs was overpriced at closer to $5. Ultimately was sorely disappointed in this place and it definitely did not meet my standards for bagels. I did like the chew on the bagel, but the everything bagel didnt have a ton of flavor, was mostly sesame seed, and the garlic and herb cream cheese was truly disgusting. Im a big fan of garlic but this was definitely not fresh garlic, more so the stuff youd get in a jar that just doesnt have nearly the same appeal. Service wasnt great- lady who ordered behind me seemed to get priority because she was a regular who knew the employees, watched them stop my order to work on hers. My travel companions enjoyed their bagels, but I definitely wouldnt drive through the rougher part of KC again just to get a bagel. Maybe would be willing to try the Overland Park location with a different cream cheese. Maybe will just stick with the bagel shop that is much better, cheaper, and closer.

It’s a good bagel spot, although the bagels aren’t made on-site, and the coffee/tea offerings are sorely lacking (I know, I know, it a bagel place - so delicious instead, go next door to Downbeat Coffee for a great pour). Compared to east-coast bagels, these are a bit small, but tasty. The veggie cream cheese is over-seasoned, so go with the plain option. The service is always fast, friendly.

I had the whitefish salad on a plain bagel with tomato, onion, and capers. It was delicious.

Fantastic bagels with very friendly service —Most people seem to get to go, but they also have a few tables inside for you to enjoy your bagel immediately.They have all the standard east coast bagels such as sesame, poppy, garlic, onion, rye, salt, and everything. Call me boring, but I always get the poppy toasted with butter. They have some pretty crazy schmeres too!!This is by far the best bagels you can buy in Kansas City and absolutely destroys places like Einstein’s or Panera.

Great bagels.

Legit, authentic bagels in a homey locale.

Authentic east coast style bagels!

Wonderful friendly staff and service. Not afraid to talk with the customer about each and every bagel in the store. Talking highly of the owners and the way they care for their employees. That in its self speaks volumes!! Bagels are very tasty and light, without leaving you feeling heavy after consumption.

These are the best bagels in town and likely the Midwest. They do not need to be toasted, they have the perfect chewy crunchy texture. This bagel is dreams.

Absolutely fantastic! My favorite bagel shop in KC. You know someplace is good when you can order a plain bagel and fall in love. The store itself is small - so best take bagels to go and enjoy!

Really warm, inviting atmosphere with bagels to match (if you ask for them toasted, of course). Speaking of which, Chester really helped us out. We ordered a chocolate chip bagel with Oreo cheesecake spread and a plain bagel with strawberry spread. Both were DELICIOUS but we’re from out of town and expected a warm bagel. Chester let us know he couldn’t do the chocolate one because it would melt in the toaster, but he got me a freshly toasted plain bagel with the strawberry spread that made me grateful we stopped by. We’ll definitely be back for more next time!

Great bagels. both variety, flavor, and freshness.

Best bagels--NY bagels of all kinds. I like all of them but mostly I have the everything with plain cream cheese. There are many flavors to choose from and lox and many combinations of eats, plus beverages. To go or eat in. They were a hit the week they opened and have opened several locations since. Fast, friendly service. Great food.

I sent my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are fantastic and the stuff is efficient and cooperative. Every time we eat in this place we pass a cheerful time. I warmly recommend this restaurant.

Yummy bagels and they even have vegan cream cheese now!

I’d drive from Texas to Missouri (and I do) just to get some rye bagels! Just the best!

Wonderful cozy bagel shop! Good break from your mainstream bagel shops. I had the roasted onion with poppy seed bagel with smoked salmon... amazing! If your looking for something different I suggest you give them a try. Good Job Meshuggah!

So good you cant even wait for your hands. Direct bagel to face!

Spent the last 17 years in NYC. I was in desperate need of some lox. What I got at Meshuggah Bagels hit the spot. I am satisfied.I only have 1 complaint. No Meshuggah was playing when I walked in.

I love this place. The customer service is excellent and the employees are very knowledgeable and friendly. If you havent had their schmears they actually let you sample it before you purchase it.My go to is the Bialy paired with the rosemary schmear. This has been my go to bagel place for 2 years now.I Definitely recommend. I just wish they stayed open later.

Best bagels in Kansas City. So good my cat stole a bialy.

This is a bagel. This is what you should expect when you want an authentic, fresh, flavorful, texture-perfect bagel. Chewy, soft, crunchy, optionally schmeared liberally with unique and tasty spreads. The ambiance of the shop is right on as well, in a great area of the city. This is where you go when you know what youre doing. Dont screw up the parking!

Awesome local Bagel joint create my family gets about a dozen a week and we are never disappointed. Would recommend their everything bagels and lox sandwhich.......thank me later.

Delicious bagels, great schmear, especially the Cherries Jubilee

Amazing bagels, easily the best in KC - they even have vegan cream cheese :)

I really love the bagels here. They are the best in town but am rarely able to buy them for breakfast before work or even on the weekends because they open so late in the morning and it’s a crime not to have them fresh. I’m sure the owners have good reason for the schedule but I can’t give a better review for a breakfast place that doesn’t really service the working breakfast crowd.

You’re missing out if you haven’t tried their lox bagel. It’s so scrumptious and flavorful! The smoked salmon is so fresh and the cream cheese was very flavorful and packed a punch. Wish they had some coffee options to go with their bagels as well!

I dont miss NYC at all thanks to Meshuggah bagels. 39th street store has it going on. I travel 40 mins each way just to get a lox onion tomato and capper on an onion bagel. I finished eating and and writing this my mouth is watering. Cant say enough about this place. Only con: not 24hrs.Sorry Im used to NYC.Be safe....blessed day

BEST BAGELS IN THE WORLD!! I cannot emphasize how amazing not only the bagels are but also the customer service. Amazing, passionate people.

Pretty good bagel little overpriced, I would definitely come back.

Sub-par bagels featuring a disrespectful owner and disappointing atmosphere. The bathroom smelled of mold and their cream cheese lacked creamy texture and bold cheesy flavor. I am utterly disappointed with my entire experience. Steer clear of here if you can. There are several other local establishments to get bagels in the area that will not leave you with the bad taste of Disrespect.

I wish Zebedees was still here, but these are some good bagels. Good options and quick service.

The bagels were good.

Great Bagels at a decent price but make shore to ask for light spread its way to much that they put on

Warm, inviting atmosphere with inviting smells. And then we tried the bagels and schmears. We tried the Oreo, Rosemary and Herb sschmers. I think it was real garlic, not sure if they make their cream cheese but the flavor was an amazing. The cream cheese was amazing and the bagel were heavenly. And we will be back when we are in the area visiting family.

As a native of the greater New York area, I have struggled finding decent bagels in the Midwest. I dont need to look any further. This place is legitimate. Just a simple plain bagel with plain cream cheese is amazing, and they offer much more. Best bagels Ive had outside of the NY/NJ area.

Some of the best traditional bagels Ive ever had. Not chewy like the ones you buy at the store. However, what I think makes Meshuggah really special is their salami crusted smoked salmon. Definitely worth getting there early to try.

Great find for bagels! We had bagels with Los and were very impressed. It is small, but the food is worth the effort to search it out! Friendly workers added to the visit.

Delicious product! So much better than national chains that have come to KC. Highly recommend any bagels with the strawberry schmear!

Our first time. Great food,great service. Definitely going back !!!!

Good bagels and lox.This is an expected and fun little place. If there wasnt a counter greeting you as soon as you walk in it would feel like you are walking into a home. Nice little table set up, coffee available and an assortment of good food.I always end up here during a storm and its nice to come in out of the rain and be greeted by the friendly staff and the smell of good food.

Love this place. I really do. Bagels are the bomb! Everything bagel with rosemary and garlic is to die for. Im lactose intolerant and somehow the cream cheese doesnt bother my stomach? Who knows. Either way, Im a happy customer each time I visit.

Fresh bagels that taste delicious.

Best bagels in town. Way better than their Kansas location even. Spent 5 years on the east coast and the only thing I miss is the bagels. This place fits the bill perfectly. Just wish they offered some sort of breakfast sandwiches as well, but thats not even worth knocking off a star cause what they do have is amazing.

Great NY-style big fresh bagels. My favorite: everything bagel with lox, cream cheese, onions, capers and tomato. Delish, although I can only eat 1/2. But the second half is a nice snack later. Charming farmhouse rustic interior, with old wooden tables and peaceful music. Add a cup of good strong coffee and your day begins!

Finally we have a real New York style bagel place. If you arent sure if youve had a real NY bagel, you havent. Boiled bagels mean theyre super crunchy on the outside and super soft and fluffy inside. You have no idea how much better this is than your bagel. Their sandwiches are pricey but the lox is the perfect pair. And theyre closed Mondays, (to keep the sabbath! /s/) - so dont forget that little fact like I always do.

This place is pretty amazing. Excellent bagels with a really good selection to choose from. The 8 flavors I tried were all really good. Some bagel places just add toppings (sesame seed, Poppy seeds, garlic, etc.) To make their flavored bagels, but this place seems to get the flavor down into the meat of the bagel too.Cream cheese is also good and they have several flavors to choose from.

Best bagels fresh taste is great

Awesome restaurant to have breakfast! Definitely a top 3 restaurant to start your day. Their bagels and spreads are vast and delicious. Nice homey feel to the restaurant where you could relax and read a book, complete work for school or enjoy a conversation.

The bagels we had were very decent and authentic but the service at this place is pretty dispassionate. Also, they charge for butter and its very literally only a bagel place. You can get bagels and cream cheese. Thats it. I would think they might offer hummus or some veggies but if you are looking for real bagels in KC, this is the only place to go.

Visiting from out of town and thankful to have found this gem. Great selection without being overwhelming. The everything with smoked salmon is delicious! Highly recommend.

This is the only place to get decent bagels in KC. Good stuff

Absolutely delicious bagels, and theyre perfect for anytime! I really wish I would have discovered this place before I moved!Make sure you take plenty of money or a card, because the downside is that it gets very expensive quickly.

My New York visitors have told me this is an authentic texture and taste NY bagel. Good enough for me, I love all the types. My favorite so far is the salmon, cream cheese and capers on the sesame bagel. Great.

Amazing bagels, great chew. They are always packed, so expect to have a 10 minute wait minimum on a weekend morning.Note: they are serious about their flavors. Garlic is immensely garlicky, and the same is to be said across the board- these arent like their bland grocery store counterparts.

These taste just like NY bagels! I made a habit of going on the weekend and buying a dozen at a time to freeze. Once defrosted and toasted, they still taste amazing!

INCREDIBLE! As a NJ transplant, nothing beats this place. Best bagels in KC! The seafood they have is the best part - delicious whitefish salad and youve gotta try the pastrami nova. Regular nova but with pastrami spices on it...crazy good!

Best bagel in town! A little pricey if you ask me (especially if you splurge for the coffee) but I’ve never left regretting my choice. Recommend: Sesame bagel with jalapeño spread.

Some of the best bagels Ive had outside of NYC. Their schmears are so delicious and they have rotating flavors, too. They have several locations in the city, so check them out!

Great bagels/smears! As close to a classic NY bagel as you’ll find in KC.

Good bagels!

If youre going on the weekend I recommend showing up early or expect a wait, but dont mind the wait either because the bagels are divine and the smear is heavenly! The inside is very small, a few bar seats and a couple tables so no larger groups best to take to go or just munch in your car. They are priced fairly and for the amount of smear you receive I recommend a few bagels...6 should do it ;)! Seriously theyre that good!

The bagels are great. The service is nice. Maybe a little pricy but irlts worth it.

Im sorry i missed the opening day on 3/18 but Im thrilled I was there on the 19th! The place is spectacular and the Bagels are the best Ive ever had. That includes all the famous spots in the greater NY metropolitan area where I grew up. Anyone who doesnt make it is missing out. THESE FOLKS NAILED IT!!!!

Have never had a bad experience here. The staff is always so kind and bright. Definitely a good start to the day.

Best bagels Ive ever had! Sure wish we had something similar in Minneapolis. Thank you!

I thought I didnt like bagels. Turns out, I dont like crappy bagels. Not a day goes by that I dont want Meshuggah Bagels in the morning. The ONLY thing Im disappointed in, is that theyre not open as often or as early as I usually want. I dont know exactly how they get their cream cheese, but its also 1,000 times better than buying mass produced Philadelphia Cream Cheese at the store.

Good quality. A bit over-the-top on the price. unique only will find this in big cities. Amenities are scarce, very simple but pushing the limits ofPrice point. Need to be a bit more conscious of price.

This place easily has the best bagel in KC. Previously I would go to a national bagel chain in town, so you can imagine my pleasure when I purchased my first bagel from Meshuggah. Great flavors, pillowy smears and a friendly staff.
