Rosen's Bagel Co. Downtown - Austin

The attendant was on the phone when I arrived at this walk up shop on the edge of Republic Square Park downtown. I waited for 3 to 5 min while he finished his conversation.I ordered two Rose n Shine breakfast sandwiches $8. You can choose the bagel with egg, type of protein and cheese among other add-ons. I chose the Jalapeno Cheese bagel with bacon and pepper jack cheese. The other was a Parmesan bagel with ham and swiss. I also ordered a hash brown $2.When I got home and opened the hash brown, it was very thin and smaller than McDonald's but tasty. Btw I haven't been to McD in quite awhile but looked up their prices. (OMG hash browns go for $1 to $2.99 or higher in some states.)The sandwich was ok. Bagels in Texas just aren't the same as in the Northeast. Caution: If you are not a fan of garlic (Not a fan especially as a surprise), this is in the spread that they put on the sandwich. I did know that they put a garlic mayonnaise on the sandwich. I was so hungry that I ate the Jalapeno Cheese sandwich but I went to return the other one.The attendant said he couldn't take the sandwich back. I asked him to make me another one then. He said throw it in the trash but I opted to give it to a table of homeless people instead.He made me the sandwich but said I should have read the menu (which only says spread) and that he only had a plain bagel left which was highly unlikely.Food was decent, service was sketchy and make sure to ask what the sauces consist of when ordering.

I order plain bagel with cream cheese .0830 am received the wrong order at 0815 am over all 3 customers.Took other 8 minutes to make plain bagel .Bagel was cold not -Not toasted.It’s my honest review

Service and staff super nice. My bagel was hard and bland. Sadly I would not recommend nor go back area is also taken over by

Fast service. Delicious bagel. And a beer in the park ?

Got the Rosen Bagel and it did not disappoint. Sandwich was well made although I wish the bagel was toasted a bit more. However what stood out to me was the wonderful service! I wanted a jalapeño cheese bagel and since they were out they added jalapeños on my sandwich no charge and were overall so friendly.
