Hot Bagels and Deli

Hot Bagels and Deli is a small and unassuming spot that serves the best bagels and sandwiches you will be able to find in Phoenix. I went on a Wednesday at 1:30 pm and the restaurant was pleasantly empty with a few customers in and out mostly with to go orders.
I noticed the bagels were almost sold out so I'm assuming breakfast and lunch they get steady business. I ordered a BLT on an everything bagel and subbed mayo for cream cheese.
The sandwich was ready in about five minutes.
As you can see it was absolutely loaded with perfectly crisp bacon.
The bagel itself is very clearly made in house by people who know what they're doing.
It's fluffy and light while still being hearty. I will definitely be back here again and suggesting it as a future lunch spot for work. They also serve some assorted small baked desserts such as brownies and chocolate croissants.
They look pretty good but I'm not much of a sweets person so I can't say. The service was friendly without being too much. Fair warning the sandwich is big and toothsome.
Excpect a jaw workout.
They also claim to have gluten free options but I'm not sure what the options are.

This place is crazy! The bagels are among the best I’ve ever had.
They are doing good work here! My daughter had a breakfast sandwich and we got several bagels with schmear 🥯 to share with the fam.
I loved their everything bagel with green onion cream cheese, and the blueberry with blueberry cream cheese was absolutely amazing.
The bagels are enormous, the texture is perfect! They are both soft and chewy.
We had a plain with strawberry cream cheese that was good too. I also love, love, love a good crumb cake! I got the OG and it was delicious.
The texture between the cake and crumble topping—totally on point! We had a really good experience.
The staff we talked with were helpful and friendly.
When we make it back I’ll try a sandwich for sure and the raspberry crumb cake.
Definitely give this place a try!

i’ve already eaten a lot but u can tell they give you so so much food and the best part, ITS SO GOOD.
