Bagel lovers know there’s nothing like a perfectly chewy, golden-crusted bagel to start the day right. From classic New York-style to creative breakfast sandwiches, Tulsa has more than a few gems where you can grab your fix.
Let’s get to it.
3Natives
Healthy food fans might be surprised by the vibrant menu at 3Natives. Many spots claim to be healthy then hand you iceberg lettuce pretending it’s food. Here you get real flavor… the acai bowls shine with fresh ingredients and plenty of variety. If protein-powder chalk is not your thing, you’ll appreciate how bright and flavorful each bowl tastes.
If you lean on bagels and toasts for every meal, their Almond Berry Toast and Avocado Mango Toast feel like breakfast and lunch had an enthusiastic wellness kid. Then there are wraps, salads, smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and legit coffee. A lineup of sandwiches can make any traditional lunch jealous.
It’s the kind of place where you can corral kids on the patio or tap away on a laptop in peace. Family-friendly, catering-friendly, and delivery-friendly… there may be too many ways to love 3Natives. Whether you need a vegan fix or an excuse for a second breakfast, a spot at the table is waiting. You might even find a Tuna Melt with your name on it. Eat fresh, feel good—peek at the 3Natives lineup.
Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy Store
Whether you thought bagels and burgers were an odd pair, Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy Store blends them like pros. This Oklahoma staple is best known for ice cream and dairy… their bakery counter rises to the occasion with fresh bagels too. Plain, everything, and cinnamon raisin rolls emerge from the oven daily. Breakfast sandwiches lean on creativity with options like a Spanish Bagel Omelette or a California twist when plain won’t cut it.
Their dairy empire runs from farm to store, with their own fields and bakery turning out everything straight to the counter. Smoothies and shakes stand ready to chill you out, while the coffee comes bold enough to fuel a road trip.
It’s the kind of place where families and crowds feel right at home. Breakfast service ends at 10:30 AM sharp. This is when bagels nestle into eggs and veggies for the perfect start to the day.
When moderation fails, reach for the cinnamon roll. After all, Braum’s knows dessert can handle an early-morning cameo. Here’s where your bagel adventure starts.
Dilly Diner
Since 2015, Dilly Diner has been shaking up Tulsa’s breakfast and lunch scene in the Blue Dome District. It’s got the retro diner vibe with mismatched furniture and fresh local ingredients… think of the cool aunt’s living room if she loved a good latte and housemade bread. Bread comes straight from the Farrell family bakery and coffee is from Topeca so you’re never sipping nameless brew.
Breakfast here has no curfew. Mornings and afternoons alike you can still order your favorites. On a weekday or a Saturday evening you can grab a bagel loaded with lox, cream cheese, tomato, and red onion, shout out to the “Tina,” or a fried egg croissant sandwich if that’s how you roll.
There’s a bakery case loaded with pastries for anyone pretending they’re just getting a coffee. The place fills up around noon but you rarely wait long.
It’s a laptop-friendly, family-friendly, people-friendly spot. If you’re craving everyday comfort with a local twist, this is where the fuss leads you. Brunch is calling your name.
Neighborhood JAM
In Tulsa’s breakfast scene, Neighborhood JAM brings extra jazz to the morning routine. It’s not your corner bagel shop, but their Westside Benny earns a solid cameo. Picture a toasted everything bagel piled high with cream cheese, lox, pickled red onion, poached eggs, and a tomato caper salsa that steals the show.
Don’t expect a parade of schmears or bagels boiled behind a secret family door. Bagels here play a supporting role, making sure you focus on the main act, brunch with personality. Locally roasted coffee fuels the scene and crafts a relaxed vibe perfect for family gatherings or catching up with friends.
The space invites you to linger over plates of eggs with flair or a stack of waffles that could double as dessert. Here, bagel lovers might not keep score against New York but they will tip their hats to a place with heart and flavor.
On any given morning, Neighborhood JAM reminds you that brunch can be both casual and memorable. peek at the JAM lineup here.
New York Bagel Cafe
For more than three decades, New York Bagel Cafe has been Tulsa’s go-to for authentic New York style bagels. Their team hand-rolls and boils each bagel daily, so that perfect chew comes by design rather than accident. Classics like plain, everything, and sesame stand alongside curveballs such as jalapeño cheddar and chocolate chip. You might not expect these flavors but definitely won’t regret ordering them.
Cream cheese lovers can choose from a wealth of flavors. Where else in town can you slather a blueberry bagel with jalapeño salsa cream cheese without getting a side-eye? If bagels are the headliners, the sandwiches are ready to steal the show. A meatlovers sandwich packs a heavy punch, and the lox and cream cheese combo is a brunch dream come true.
Breakfast and lunch run all day here, so your cravings don’t have an early curfew. Pull up a chair inside or stretch out on the patio when the weather cooperates. Casual, family-friendly, and speedy service means there’s always time for a cup of coffee or two before you head out. Get your bagel fix here.
Trenchers Delicatessen
Based in Tulsa, Trenchers Delicatessen has been building a loyal following since opening its doors in 2013. Established by the team behind Shades of Brown coffee shop, this neighborhood deli takes bread making seriously. Every loaf rises from scratch and each cut of smoked meat gets its due attention… the kind of care you can taste in every bite.
The menu covers all bases, from a Dutch Crunch sandwich piled high with turkey, bacon, and avocado mayo to the aptly named Vegan’s Dream. Breakfast options arrive until noon and include inventive bagel creations or a French toast special that mixes sweet and savory notes.
Inside, the lighting stays cozy and subdued, and there’s even a shuffleboard table for a quick game between bites. Free Wi-Fi makes it easy to settle in with coffee, and a full bar is on standby if you prefer something stronger. Open until 1 AM, Trenchers Delicatessen welcomes anyone hungry for handcrafted deli classics… at any hour. Sink your teeth into Trenchers’ menu.
