A case could be made for O'Bagel but JP's ends up on top every time for me. They bake everything fresh in house daily and they've got every breakfast sandwich you could imagine. Egg sandwiches, Bagel with Lox, Whitefish Salad, all types of spreads, I've had it all from JP's! The employees couldn't be nicer in what looks to be a hectic kitchen that is always super busy. They all make it look easy with a smile on their face. Keep up the great work guys. I'll be back! read less

No question. All of the bagels are fresh and delicious (my fave is whole wheat everything).

My favorite bagel here is the whole wheat, which maybe one of the best whole wheat bagels I've had anywhere. They are generous with the cream cheese and the order comes out fairly fast even on the very crowded weekend mornings.

In addition to the 1.5 dozen bagels I got for a family function, which everyone loved I might add, I ordered myself a breakfast sandwich. I had asked for my Whole Wheat Bagel scooped, which provided more room for the sandwich ingredients. I was in awe of how soft the bagel was, even with its hollowed out insides. Between the bread were thick slices of fresh avocado, ripe tomato, sprinkled black pepper, and roasted red peppers with cloves of garlic. Each bite was pure heaven.
JP's Bagel Express made it simple to organize a large order with several specifications and provided all of our requests with flawless execution. read lessAlison C.3/15/2021LOVE JP's Bagels, whole wheat everything is so good.
