The Bagel Cafe

301 N Buffalo Dr  Las Vegas, NV 89145

My Mom has been constantly telling me to try The Bagel Cafe! She goes every Sunday morning after church. So I finally tried it and fell madly in love!

I loved it so much I went back the next day and got the same things!

You walk into the front door and immediately see the display of freshly baked bagels in tons of varieties! 




To the left you see all the cold cuts, cheeses & salmon lox for sale! 

It is a Jewish/New York style bakery & cafe!

This place is so delicious everything is huge & has tons of flavor!




To the right is my favorite section! The Dessert Display case! 

They freshly bake all of their pastries & desserts every morning. 

This place for being a scratch made bakery is still very reasonably priced!


Rainbow Cookie

My all time favorite treat from The Bagel Cafe is their Rainbow Cookies! It is the best, so moist and delicious! It has layers of heaven! 

The first layer is a pistachio cake topped with a layer of raspberry coulis! Second layer is vanilla cake topped with a layer of raspberry coulis! The third layer is cherry cake topped with a layer of chocolate ganache

I need to get this recipe! I have had Rainbow Cookies before but never this moist!

& this is only the beginning....



NY Style Knish & Spicy Mustard

Oi Vey! Let's talk about Knish! 

If you are a potato lover & a doughnut lover! Well they just had a baby and named it Knish! 

Forget a plain old potato pancake! A Knish is a light pillow of potato, deep fried in batter. It is so gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside

Eat it with spicy mustard and you cannot go wrong!




Bagel Sandwich


I chose to build my own bagel sandwich for breakfast. 

I chose the Sundried tomato & basil bagel, one egg scrambled, cheddar cheese & ham! 

It was a huge sandwich! I had to take half home, but oh man was it is good! 

The bagel was toasted, the cheddar cheese was melted, the scrambled eggs were fluffy and delicious. The ham was huge! Almost twice as big as the bagel!

I know I said I would compare places to Portland, but this place has a place in my heart, in no way am I going to compare anything to The Bagel Cafe!

The Cracked Egg

7660 W Cheyenne Ave #125
Las Vegas, NV

So I just flew into Las Vegas last night.. 

I am staying with my boyfriend Connor at his parent's house. This morning we had to drop off his car to get his brakes fixed. So we went with his Dad and Step Sister to The Cracked Egg.

I have been before because I have grown up in Las Vegas I have been everywhere!

But this visit was extra special and delicious. Maybe because I haven't been there in so long! But everything I remember about the place was spot on and even better than my memory!

Let's start with the best coffee cake ever! It is so light & fluffy! Baked fresh every morning! Different flavors as well so you never know which one you will get! I love it so much.

I had the apricot flavor and Connor's Step Sister had the chocolate flavor! Both so delicious!


Coffee Cake

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of my breakfast because we got to talking too much! I am also not quite used to having to blog about everything I eat just yet! I will get better!

For breakfast, I had a Monte Cristo sandwich & country potatoes! There is nothing wrong with two pieces of french toast with ham, turkey & swiss cheese in the middle! Then deep fried to perfection & a side of maple syrup

Yum! It was the perfect hangover cure! ;)

I even got Connor's Dad to get the same thing as I.
