My wife loved Proper Bagel this place is popular it gets really busy my wife got a bagel sandwich she really liked the whipped cream cheese service was excellent and it was prepared fast there is only like 3 parking spots so it could get difficult to find a parking spot if you are in the neighbor hood and want some breakfast stop in
I loved their natural orange juice, and the chunky chicken salad on the bagel oh and their chocolate chip-sour-cream-pound cake
We watched YouTube channel “Bilingirl Chika” and wanted to visit, so we came to Nashville from Indiana!! The store was clean, the staff were kind, and we felt very comfortable during our visit. We ordered a strawberry shortcake, cookie dough, a Nova Scotia salmon bagel, and avocado toast. Plus, coffee. When we ordered the shortcake, we got an extra one as a special deal today! Everything was absolutely delicious! Since we couldn’t finish it all, we’ll save the leftovers for lunch. It’s such a wonderful and tasty place that if it were near our home, we’d probably visit all the time! We’d love to come back!!
Some places make your soul feel good. This is one of those places. We enjoyed the best bagel sandwiches in our lifetime and wanted to say thank you! We'll be sure to visit next time we come to Nashville.
This spot has one of the best vegan bagel situations I’ve ever had - I seriously crave their schmear. Proper NY feel and vibe...no but for real. Get an everything, double vegan scallion schmear, tomato and raw red onion
I think this is the best cream cheese I have ever had. I got a pumpernickel bagel with birthday cake cream cheese which I know sounds like a weird combination but trust me, it worked so well. The bagel was a little bit dense and hard to chew at times, but I think that’s just because I ordered pumpernickel. Compared to H&S Bagels they’re a lot smaller and not as fluffy, but to me what really shone through was the customer service here. I wasn’t expecting that much customer service at a busy bagel shop, but a server came by and checked in on me and asked if I wanted extra napkins, which was a really nice gesture. Also the expected wait time they told me was 20 mins, but my bagel came out in like 10ish minutes which was nice. I can’t wait until the next time I visit :) Edit: I have indeed visited this place several times, and it’s my #1 most ordered on UberEats, lol. I love proper bagel, and everything I’ve had here has been scrumptious. You can’t go wrong with anything here!
Delicious food and gorgeous atmosphere. I wish I lived in Nashville so I could go back every day and try a different cream cheese flavor. Grilled cheese on an inside-out bagel is genius. The lemonade was just sweet enough.
