Bagelshop bagel specials

Look, you don’t need me to tell you how good the offerings at Bagelshop are. Scene readers voted the Donelson spot Best Bagel in our 2025 Best of Nashville readers’ poll, so we’re all in agreement here about these doughy, crusty delights. But if you’re looking for an excuse to visit the stalwart bagel spot, a new work-week deal makes it the perfect place to start your morning (or grab lunch, no one’s judging). 

From Monday through Friday, Bagelshop is offering a daily-special bagel and schmear at just $3. There’s a different combination each day, which also makes for a fun way to explore the menu without the analysis paralysis. Monday sees the plain bagel with scallion and dill cream cheese, for example, while Wednesday spotlights the chili garlic spread on an everything bagel. I like to pair my order with a cold brew ($5) or one of the seasonal beverages (which start at $6).

If you’re not feeling the daily special, the standard bagel-and-schmear order won’t strain the wallet much either — any bagel with cream cheese starts at $5. No one could blame you for checking out the clever new flavors Bagelshop introduces each month, often in collaboration with local chefs.
