Legacy Bagels — Restaurant in Celina

Since Texas is not famous for its bagel lovers, those of us who are have some sad over-commercialized choices, or unreliable grocery options that lack depth. But, if you like real bagels, you need to stop acting like a genius by going elsewhere. If you are in the neighborhood, this is the ONLY place you can get a quality bagel (they actually have 2 locations). The bagels are firm and crunchy on the outside, and so perfectly soft on the inside....they will cut your bagels for free, and they sell bagel sandwiches and a bulk pack that comes with some awesome choices of shmear. You can legitimately eat their cheese bagels as its own food with nothing on it (emergencies only - a bagel deserves some shmear). I personally judge places based on their ability to carry Salt bagels...its kind of my compass and this place delivers. But their everything and Jalapeno Cheddar bagels are phenomenal as well. Their plain bagels are great for making pizza bagels at home for the kiddos....be aware that these are not filled with preservatives, so if you aint using quickly, put them in the fridge or freezer. Look, I cannot afford to fly back to NY for some bagels (or pizzas, but that is a different topic & tangent), and thanks to Legacy being local and high-quality bagel-making-masters that are kind/personable....I...

I enjoy bagels (really anything carb related) and this place is the spot!

Parking is your standard strip mall lot, so there is always a space for you. The spot features a sit down area but we’ve always done take out! Every visit i’ve had, the folks working the counter have been super kind and willing to offer suggestions if you need em!

The bagel variety is nice but if you aren’t a bagel person they have other delicious options! My husband loves the bacon/egg/cheese bfast sandwich and my dad loves their cinnamon rolls. As a chocolate chip lover, I love the chocolate chip bagel toasted with chocolate chip cream cheese spread.

Give this place a try - there is something for everyone, everything is delicious, and the quality of food to people...

If my children could get their act together on school days I would eat breakfast here everyday probably. Alas, they always make us late, so I have to settle for bagels only on the weekend. Always yummy and good service, though I actually miss the guys that worked there that embarrassingly knew my name when I walked in, haha. I tried Einstein Bros again recently to compare because in my mind I thought they were superior from years ago, but I learned that Legacy Bagels are definitely my favorite. They also have yummy cinnamon rolls on the weekends, though fair warning, my kids complain that they're "spicy" because they are very generous with the cinnamon. Definitely join the rewards program because discounts...
