Cocky's Bagels — Restaurant in North Olmsted

As a gluten free person this will be a review with respect to the establishment’s ability to communicate and fulfill their promise. I don’t even attempt to order food from places that don’t offer a gluten free option. I heard about this place through a Cleveland gluten free Instagram account (that seems to have deleted their posts about Cockys now that I attempt to double check) and ultimately, I followed through with my order because I was assured that there were procedures in place to serve a safe gluten free meal and even the person taking my order claimed to be gluten free! So my confidence was high.

Luckily I got to watch my food being prepared. First off I watched the food preparer touch a gluten bun, like smoosh a sandwich down, in the middle of preparing my gluten free order. What’s the point of changing gloves and making promises to customers if you’re going to do that?

Then as if that wasn’t dangerous enough, I watched the preparer use the same tub of guacamole and utensil to make my gluten free avocado toast as she did every other gluten order. What’s the point of claiming something is gluten free when it’s cross contaminated with every other gluten order?

I was so excited to maybe have a single dining option while out in the Flats with my friends. I beg, please make your gluten free options actually gluten free. Or, do not bother to offer a gluten free option if the staff does everything forsake every additional “precaution” taken and then instills false confidence about its safety. This is...

Another new option to eat in the North Olmsted area! 1st store has been open since June 2019 and are gaining more followers; they have 1 food truck and another food truck was just recently purchased. They collaborate with other local ohio food companies and sell their goods/products at their store. Great Guatemalan coffee (Mocina)!--compliments from Ramis (?), Serena, and the rest of the friendly crew. Thank you....

Ordered The Western w everything bagel and it hit the spot this morning (pic below). $7 average for their bagel menu but I think it's enough for high quality of food you are putting in your mouth----you spend that much or a little less than that at McDs or BK so might as well get something fresh and 'noncommercial'. Lots of bagel sandwich options so plenty to choose from, for whatever you feel like eating. They also have $5 Holla! Menu for those savers. You can also get fresh cut fries, mac&cheese bites, acai bowl, etc.

No WiFi yet (its ok!!! Give them a chance, they're a growing business) BUT there are several outlets you can plug your charger or your laptop to...so all is well!...Interesting decor and awesome mural from a local artist! Will come again in the near future!

2nd visit

Mocina Coffee was goooood... Spent the morning here doing bills. Pretty chill place! And awesome background music. Thank you Ramis (?) and staff for the refill !!! Great start on a great day. Happy...

I have had cockys 4 times now and when my boyfriend comes to Ohio he begs to go there. I woke up this morning and was too lazy to get out of bed. Usually im indecisive about food but I saw cockys on uber eats and INSTANTLY SAID YUP. The Buffalo chicken dip got me... I dream about it.

I have tried a few different bagels here and they're all good but my fav is the sausage party with cheese egg and two patties because I'm basic and my bf likes the whole lettuce tomato shabang so he gets the others. The garlic herb cream cheese is to DIE FOR on the sausage party and they are not skimpy. All of the flavors are so good. Got that and 2 orders of the Buffalo chicken dip with whatever this master piece of bagel bite soft but crunchy goodness pieces that come with it... had one whole bowl this morning and tonight the other is my snack. As for the coffee, had it once but I make coffee at home I can't justify buying coffee anywhere but the food.... the FOOD😭🤌

I swallowed my bagel whole as soon as it arrived with its beautiful layers but I do have a chance to take a pic of my Buffalo chicken dip. LAWD

Also, we've always sat inside. The atmosphere and their little setup with the TV couch and homey feeling Is absolutely adorable. If I'm being honest I think I've fallen asleep sitting up on your guys couch for like 2 minutes waiting for my bf to finish eating. Thought I was at my...
