The Bagel Project

I absolutely love The Bagel Project. Their bagels are truly outstanding. I can easily compare their products to the ones I’ve eaten on the East Coast and in Israel, and that says a lot. Every time I go back, I’m never disappointed. The texture, the chew, the flavor… they get it right. I would love to see even more flavors, maybe with an extra hint of the Middle East. How about a thick layer of za’atar on a fresh bagel? That would be incredible!

Love coming here whenever we’re craving bagels. Best sesame bagels!! Jacob is always super kind and helpful!

Just as Russ noted 5 MONTHS ago - slow service. It took almost 40 minutes to receive a bagel toasted with cream cheese - canceled the order. When asked about status the staff member gave us attitude and said other people were waiting too - we were 5th in the queue. The management of Bagel Project needs to completely overhaul this location - improve the ambiance, find friendly, professional staff, and upgrade the bagels from stale to fresh. Until then, we won't be back.

Great food, hat service & ambiance at this location. I LOVE the bagels at The Bagel Project in their downtown location, and was looking forward to the same experience when I ventured into this Holladay location— not so, unfortunately. Not only did the staff seem to scoff when being asked for recommendations, they seemed generally upset to be there. When asked whether a certain special of theirs is best toasted or not-toasted, I was met with “um? It depends on if you like hot or cold… your preference.” Ambiance seems stale with uneven metal chairs that rock and clack on the cement ground. The bagels are great as normal, so that’s something.

Anyone who gave a negative review was having a bad day. Make no mistake, this is one of the best bagels I've ever had, definitely the best in the Salt Lake Valley. Genuinely surprised there isn't a line out the door at open. Food great, atmosphere, very modern New York vibe. Decor is eclectic and minimal, and the food is positively fabulous.
