Absolutely loved this place! If you live around the area or happen to be in town this bakery is definitely a go to! I am 100% gluten free with celiac and when I tell you this is the best tasting baked goods I’ve had since I started my journey! I got the cinnamon rollup, beignet donuts, donut holes, muffin (berries), and quiche! Donuts were my fav! It is a little bit pricey but if you’re celiac you already know the drill! Definitely worth it especially when you get a little bit of everything!

Food was a 3.5 it was good diner food with vegan options with smaller serving size than many diners. Price high for a regular diner but fit the general area that looks to be exploding with development. Best thing I had was goetta. It was a loose sausage like patty made of pork beef oats pepper and bay leaves (I think). It is apparently a local dish and I really enjoyed it. Gluten free pancake was ok, but normal cakes looked great. Really cool vibe in building and area. Well worth a visit.

This was the perfect fresh breakfast I’ve been searching for. Food was delicious, staff were helpful, and the atmosphere was amazing. The “Bee Cake” pancakes piqued my interest and my waitress was happy to explain. Basically, it’s a gluten free pancake made with honey and pollen that helps the dough raise like a “normal” pancake. However it had a surprisingly familiar mouth feel and a welcomed nutty flavor! Couldn’t be happier! The breakfast sandwich I got was also delicious and fresh. Truly enjoyed this breakfast so much, I might say it’s the best part of the whole city!

I’ve ordered here a couple of times and the presentation, flavor, and cooked temperature is always on point! Staff really follows the ticket order. I love their gluten free bun.

Loved the food and the experience. Juan our waiter exceptional! I have a gluten allergy and he was extremely knowledgeable and the restaurant very accommodating. (FYI to those with celiac...you can eat most items from the menu and there is a seperate frialator). We cant wait to go back and try more items, and we will ask for Juan!

Perfect 5-STAR experience at the Kenwood Cooper's Hawk location yesterday, celebrating Valentine's Day at lunchtime. REILLY provided exceptional and highly attentive service, especially with regard to our gluten and dairy restrictions. She was very courteous and professional. We have visited several Cooper Hawk's across Dayton/Cincinnati area (Kenwood, Liberty Centre, Centerville) and the KENWOOD location is clearly superb in all aspects.

Best gluten free Nutella banana bread muffin!! I loved it! Would come back just for that alone. I also ordered a Cortado and asked for a side of sparkling water to pair it. They were very accommodating and the cashier was super welcoming. Only downside is parking kinda far especially when it rains 🥲 it’s worth it though.

We had the most wonderful experience, and we're super grateful for all of the gluten free and gluten sensitive options. Only four stars because the French Onion Soup and the Scallops & Maine Lobster Risotto were just way way too salty. Everything else was delicious!

This review is specific to catering - if you haven't had a Bagelry bagel yet, you need to run immediately to either location to try 1 or an entire dozen. And then, you need to plan a catering drop off for your next office gathering or party. The Premium Breakfast Buffet that we just had with meats, cheese, eggs, bagels and fruit was stellar. It's a great set-up (and hot!), best quality and a good price for what you are getting. And now with their gluten free option, the menu is in inclusive and awesome for all. Thanks, Bagelry!

The cheesecake never disappoints! Good service. Liked the steak medallions! I liked that there's gluten free pasta but it was overcooked

The bagels are great, their options for sandwiches are endless, and the fresh chocolate chip cookies are the highlight of my lunch every time! This place is addicting. Not to mention freshly made in house bagels and cream cheese, what more could you ask for? Update: they now carry gluten free bagels as well, which is very hard to find at a place like this and MUCH appreciated! They are a bit more expensive but worth it for a gluten free bagel sandwich!
