Prime location, minimal wait time, great price and even better bagels; if you want the whole package, stop by Bagel Talk at the Park Student Union. Just fill out an order slip and prepare yourself for a warm and fluffy bliss. As the name implies, when it comes to bagels, they know what they’re talking about.

If you’re seeking the cutest café or the best bagel on Park Avenue, look no further than Caffe Luce. If you’ve heard of them, it’s probably for their incredible fresh roasted coffee, but their perfectly toasted, chewy bagels prove that their breakfast game is strong, too.

So this one isn’t technically on campus, but it is pretty close and too good to leave unmentioned. All you have to do is get on Speedway and cross Campbell and you’re on your way to bagel heaven. Bruegger’s is definitely a treat “ya’self” bagel, as they’re made fresh each morning, New York style.
