Visited March 23, 2025 I stopped by this gem while visiting Louisville, KY for a conference. This was the perfect grab-and-go breakfast before hitting the road. I knew this would be a good choice when I saw how busy it was for a Sunday. I was greeted when I came in and the server gave me recommendations since it was my first time here. I ordered the turkey bacon, egg, and cheese on a french toast bagel and I also ordered the BLT on an original bagel. It took about 5 minutes to receive my order and everything came out hot and fresh. The bagels were so soft and the flavors were great. I thought my french toast bagel was going to be super sweet, but it was very subtle. I was overwhelmed by how much bacon came on the BLT, so I ended up pulling some pieces off. Overall I highly recommend this place.

I truly cant say enough good things about this place. The staff is incredibly friendly and is so good about recognizing you and remembering your order and things about your life. In todays world of minimal customer service and being crowded by undeserving tip screens, Maya Bagels staff deserves every cent of a tip. The food is generous portions, crazy fresh, and the best NY bagel you can get in the Midwest. They're quick, the place is clean, and it's a must try for a slow brunch by the window or pick me up on the way to a long work day. I'll be a loyal customer for years.

Called my order in. Only took 5 minutes. There was a decent size line at 12pm still. Limited seating inside. Wait staff pleasant. Enjoyed my grilled pastrami bagel, plain cream cheese toasted bagel, and chocolate chip muffin.

I had the lox bagel on the jalapeño and cheese bagel and it was so delicious! Move over Panera lol y'all have competition!! I went back to try another bagel. This time I got the French toast bagel with bacon, egg and cheese. My bacon was crispy, just how I like it. The service was friendly and quick. They have online ordering as well. When you walk in the ambiance is giving small cafe with some seating. They offer hot and iced coffee and also have a cooler with different cold drinks. The name says it all=Maya Bagel Express. Fresh bagels that are soft, warm and they offer a variety! This is the only location on poplar level road next to the Great Clips so far!

Nice little spot with seating area inside and out. First time here. I heard about this place through yelper reviews. Maya Bagel Express have been in business for 2 years now. There's plenty of parking and they have several bagel selections to choose from. They also cur your bagel in 1/2 so you don't have to worry about requesting for that. Once you order it doesn't take long for them to get your order. They cook it right on the spot. I have no complaints. Everyone was nice. Food was fresh, establishment was clean, no long wait. Even though there was a line, people were moving right along. Oh and most important they have an "A". They do have a restroom. There's a private sign for people not to walk through, but the restroom door is right next to it.

Back today and enjoyed a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich on a plain bagel. Do not skip the bacon!!!! It was crispy and they put a great layer of it on the sandwich. My husband also love his pastrami lunch sandwich on a sesame bagel. Quick, friendly service. They move the line fast and the wait at the window was minimal. Seats along the window and a few tables inside and on the patio.

We thought we'd stop here for breakfast this morning and were happily greeted with warm smiles and great smells! The food was fantastic! We both got everything bagels with garlic herb cream cheese and coffees. They were kind enough to add in some other bagels for us to try as well. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
