Casper Fermentables - Bagels, Kombucha, Sourdough

we take our bagels seriously and had been looking forward to giving casper’s a try for some time now and we were so pleased with our experience. simple little location, minimal seating, but clean and comfortable. they were busy the whole time were were there, which makes sense because of how delicious the bagels are. the lox bagel was top notch, fresh, and flavorful! we will be back!

Grandma approved!! My grandma is extremely picky about her food and restaurants and she still raves about how delicious and spot on this place is. My favorite things are the tuna sandwich, the chocolate rugelach and the pizza bagel. Tuna salad is PERFECTION and honestly so is everything else, you cannot go wrong. I also recently discovered their kombucha on tap and I’m wondering where this has been all my life! Super crisp, delightful, slightly sweet and it’s a tea kombucha so it’s caffeinated. It’s the perfect morning drink and it’s a glass of happiness (and only 2 grams of sugar but actually tastes sweet)

Best bagels in Austin. Keep it simple and get a toasted bagel with schmear. My favorite combo is the jalapeño bagel with roasted garlic schmear. Their sweets are also delicious! Chocolate rugelach and cinnamon rolls especially.

I approached this bagel spot with skepticism; after all, it wasn't your typical puffy bagel but rather a sourdough-based one. However, upon recommendation from my East Coast friends, who insisted this was one of the top three bagel spots I absolutely had to try after numerous disappointments, I decided to give it a shot. And boy, was I glad I did! The Bagels: Absolutely delicious and NY approved. The sourdough base imparts a unique, tangy flavor that elevates the bagel experience to new heights. The Ambiance: The interior of this spot is charming, with a welcoming vibe that makes you feel like you've walked into a little slice of New York. The decor is tasteful, providing a perfect backdrop for enjoying your meal. Service:The staff here are lovely - friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Their service adds to the overall positive experience. The Lox Spread: Simply divine. Well-packed, fresh, and perfectly made, it complements the sourdough bagels wonderfully, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. After visiting four different spots that left me disheartened with their subpar "NY-style" bagels, which felt more like they were sourced from a 24-hour deli or worse, Costco, this place was a revelation. It's clear that here, they understand what makes a bagel genuinely New York - it's not just about the claim but the quality and authenticity. This bagel spot is an excellent find in the South, offering a slice of New York that's both surprising and satisfying but just a bit different.

Recommend the food, but just need a little better customer service at point of sale. Have tried Casper twice. Both times bagels were good and other baked goods to go were GREAT. I see the staff prepping food hustling and make a real tasty tuna with dill, but I’ve gotten the same cashier twice who really just was not pleasant or into selling the food. Overall, there is a lot of good there and the place is cute and bright with indoor/outdoor seating. Appreciate the ownership response and look forward to more baked goods.
