Your guide to the best bagels in Dayton

1. My Favorite Muffin & Bagel

175 E Alex Bell Rd. #216, Washington Township

Sometimes the secret to a killer bagel, isn’t even the bagel! Cream cheese can be the vehicle for all the flavor you can fit into one breakfast. One bite of a MFMB bagel smeared with their signature bacon cream cheese, you’ll be a believer too.

2. ArtStreet Cafe

318 Kiefaber St., Dayton

This one’s for you, Flyers! Located in the heart of the student neighborhood on the University of Dayton campus, ArtStreet is there to make sure you don’t miss out on National Bagel Day just because you need to make it to class on time.

3. Einstein Bros. Bagels

2950 Hobson Way, WPAFB 642 Area B, Fairborn

First there was Orville and Wilbur, then the Einstein Bros. Okay, maybe not. But you can always count on the Boston Market sister-brand bagel shop to have all your favorites— from French toast bagels to cranberry, they’ve pretty much got it all.

4. Barry Bagels

4313 Far Hills Ave., Kettering

Only bagel lovers in Ohio and Michigan get to experience one of Barry’s. Get one of their toasty bagels by itself, or have it as the bookend to one of more than 15 delicious bagel sandwich options.

5. Ghostlight Coffee 

1201 Wayne Ave., Dayton

If you’ve had Ghostlight Coffee before, you know they know what they’re doing. The same goes for their baked goods— especially their bagels, which are made in-house every day.

6. The Ohio Coffee Co.

1 S Main St., Dayton

We hear the Sausage Egg & Swiss Bagel is the way to go. We’re not going to argue that!

7. Panera Bread 

Multiple locations, Dayton area

We know, we know. You can find a Panera almost anywhere these days. But come on, it’s National Bagel Day — have you tried their Asiago bagels?!
