If you’ve ever tried to grab Dan’s Bagels on a weekend morning, you know the drill: go early or go home empty-handed. In December, the perennial Southlake Style Readers' Choice favorite bakery officially opened its third location in Grapevine, and demand is already mirroring the sell-outs that made its Trophy Club shop legendary.
The buzz has national validation. The store was recently named one of Yelp’s Top 10 Bagel Shops in the U.S. and Canada, the only bagel shop in Texas to earn the distinction. In Grapevine, that’s already clear with long lines, early sell-outs and a lot of very happy early risers.

Dan’s Bagels has been firmly rooted in Texas since 2021, but its DNA is unmistakably New York. Founder Dan Hilbert fell in love with authentic New York–style bagels during his decades on the East Coast, where bagels are boiled and baked for a crisp exterior and deeply chewy center. After moving to Texas and finding nothing comparable, he began making them himself, eventually landing on a sourdough base that nods to the bagel’s 17th-century Eastern European origins. The result is a scratch-made bagel that’s labor-intensive, deeply satisfying and in limited supply.
Dan’s Bagels is open until 1 p.m. or sold out, whichever comes first – and it’s often the latter. To help customers plan accordingly, each Dan’s Bagels location now features a BagelCam via YouTube, where you can see a live stream of bagel inventory before hopping in the car. No, really.
Trust us when we say that what’s on those racks is worth the frenzy. Everyday flavors range from plain, everything, sesame and poppy seed to asiago, jalapeño cheddar, cinnamon raisin and blueberry, while rotating favorites include chocolate chip, French toast, cacio e pepe and the wildly popular seasonal swirl bagels. The menu also leans fully into New York deli culture with made-to-order egg sandwiches, classic bagel-and-lox builds, Boar’s Head deli sandwiches and black-and-white cookies.
