Everything you want in a bagel (pun intended) so today was my first time at Olmo bagels. I can confidently say they have mastered the art of the bagel fresh light chewy has a nice bounce to . Great ratio of cream cheese. Today was a monumental day because I finally got to see why the lines are usually extensive I did place a pick up order which was super convenient I was able to select the time in which I wanted to pick up the order. I opted for the Cacio E Pepe bagel with plain Schmear and the Potato latke honestly getting a breakfast for under six dollars was pretty impressive. Update : Not even two hours after ordering for the first time I found myself magically putting my shoes back on and venturing back to Olmo bagels where I was greeted before stepping into the establishment already. I was delighted that the banter of the staff did not disappoint. Everyone had such vibrant personalities and styles that really adds to the ambiance. The encounters with those amazing humans behind the counter felt like reconnecting with a long distance friend. I was offered a piece of banana bread that they are testing out I was delighted to be probably one of the first to have the exquisite banana bread grace my palate. I ended up getting the Everything Everything bagel with beet and veggie dill cream cheese. 1000/10

Coffee tasted/smelled like chemicals and perfume. It was disgusting. I just asked for refund. The man with the diabetic patch is who served me. (He owned the "green" water bottle on the counter) (Update: January 11, 2024) The Chemical Assessment has yeided the following. #DIETHYLSTILBESTROL #BENPERIDOL #LEUPROLIDE ACETATE #CRYSTALLINE METALLOID ARSENIC The list of symptoms/side effects goes on and is consistent in many states. Thus, a pattern emerged. Obviously, it was not authorized and is being forced on me. This is also known as "compulsory sterilization" and/or a way to induce serious heath complications (e.g. cancer.) It will not show up in a traditional drug test. (Update: January 12, 2024) The business has now tried to contact me after 8+ months had passed. It's impossible to take corrective action 8 months after the event. If at the time I was contacted by the business, and they volunteered to pay for a medical assessment, I would have considered it an act of good faith. To let this much time pass demonstrably shows it was mismanaged. Lastly, a refund was supposed to be issued. But no refund was ever issued. I just left it at that.

It was mine and my husband’s first time here. He tried the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a toasted Cacio e pepe bagel with spicy Mayo and I had the Olmo BLT with ALL the bacon, spicy Mayo, avocado, and extra toasted Everything bagel. It was THE BEST BLT I’ve had in a very long time (and I get BLTs pretty often—at least 1-2 times per week because I’m pregnant and that’s what the baby wants lol). I could only eat half of my sandwich because it was so filling. (And I can’t wait to have the other half later today!) Even my husband couldn’t finish his bagel and has leftovers. For anyone with food allergies, most of their bagels are dairy free/vegan (win for me!) but be careful of the Everything Everything and Cacio e pepe bagels (cheddar on both). If you haven’t gone to OLMO yet, it’s a MUST try. Great service too! Park around the Peabody Museum if street parking is scarce near the restaurant. There’s seating outside if you want to stay in the area or drive a few minutes down the road to East Rock Park for nice shaded areas to eat. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Our family took and extended weekend up to the New Haven area and I found this place online. First off, let me start off by saying that the people who work there are the FRIENDLIEST people ever. They were so nice it was ridiculous. Now to the bagel breakfast sandwiches. I had the sausage and egg the first day (see photo) and then the bacon and egg the next day. Both were filling and very tasty. They don’t skimp on anything. Lastly, we bought a loaf of the cinnamon babka because I’ve always heard good things about this but I’ve never tried. My kids and I waited till we got home. When I say it’s outta this world , let me just tell you that we are the entire loaf once we started. Thank you to the staff at Olmo for making this out of town family feel appreciated. I’m hopeful that your business continues to be prosperous, I will tell everyone I know traveling to this area to be certain to visit your business.

Visited the New Haven area as a stopping point for a spring break trip and came across OLMO online when searching for bagel places. Read the reviews, and saw their menu and immediately drove over to try for ourselves. We WERE NOT disappointed! I ordered one of their specials, a sausage cheeseburger bagel, and my boyfriend ordered the Lox. Both bagels were absolutely amazing and had such good flavor. After talking to the (I assume) owner at checkout about our visit, he then threw in an extra bagel, his go to, for us to have on our drive as a snack, which was also AMAZING. Can't beat their customer service, and everyone there was so kind. If we are ever in the New Haven area again, this will definitely be one of our stops. We may even make the trip up just for these bagels - seriously they are that good.

We jumped into Olmo without a reservation absentmindedly in a Friday night at 6pm! What an absolutely novice mistake that was quickly fixed by the helpful and understanding staff and manager (Craig). We were able to get a table even though they had a full house! The menu is unique but well balanced, all of the items house made whenever possible and it shows. The housemade kimchi was out of this world with a crisp bite and great seasoning level. The best salad was a great take on a pretty traditional menu item, really shining the light on the beets and cheese with added elements of crisp greens and that perfectly placed "Everything Bagel" seasoning. We can't wait to make another trip to really enjoy our time there (this time with a reservation I swear)!
