*****  Way Beyond Bagels, 16850 Jog Road, Delray Beach, Florida 33446, (561) 638-1320.

Way Beyond Bagels makes some of the best bagels and bialys in all of South Florida. In addition, its appetizing…like tuna salad, chicken salad are absolutely superb.

Check menu/prices at www.waybeyondbagels.com.

This joint opened about 5 years ago as a take-out  which had a few outdoor tables. Based on its immediate and overwhelming success, Way Beyond Bagels rented the store next to its shop and created a cafeteria-type setup where you can eat the stuff that you purchase at the counter. In addition to all types of bagels, bialys, breads, rolls and cold appetizing, Way Beyond Bagels also has hot breakfast items and meats.

This joint is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch. On Saturday and Sunday it is absolutely “zoosville.” I am telling you that Way Beyond Bagels’ stuff is as good as it gets down here in South Florida…that’s why it is always jammed with eat-in and take-out orders.

    The bagels and bialys and appetizing here is heads above most others.

  3. MG says...

    Got 1 dozen mixed bagels the other day. They were fair.
    They also had holes in them that were as big as the lincoln tunnel.
    Won’t be back.

  4. Silvio says...

    Overpriced for what you get.

  5. FAR says...

    Good bagels. Good food. Very overpriced.

  6. vic says...

    Jeff, You are so right, this one of the bagels stores in all of Florida. It could easily compete with anything in the 5 boroughs. Take a look at the reviews and photos at YELP. They echo your words.

      vic: Just had a chance to read your post.

      No question in my mind, Way Beyond Bagels is one of the best bagel joints in South Florida. I agree with you 100% that it could go head to head with the top guys in NYC.

      Thanks for reading…

  8. steve says...

    THE HELP WAS SUPER NICE & VERY HELPFUL.
    SORRY I CAN’T SAY THE SAME ABOUT THE BAGELS. THIS IS AMONG THE VERY WORST BAGEL I HAVE EVER TASTED. NO TASTE WHAT SO EVER. JUST TASTELESS.
    THE BANKS WERE COLSED SO I COULD NOT APPLY FOR A LOAN TO TRY THE SALADS.
    WAY,WAY OVER PRISED.
    WITH BROOKLYN WATER BAGEL NEARBY I CAN NOT SEE HOW WMTJB SELLS ANY BAGELS. DO NOT EVEN SAY THEM IN THE BREATH.
    BROOKLYN WB FOR MY MONEY IS THE BEST & THEN THERE ARE MANY OTHERS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. THIS TASTELESS BAGEL IS THE WORST.
    EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT TASTE & IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION
    THIIS IS MINE
    I WAS SMART & ONLY BOUGHT A COUPLE TO TRY. LUCKY I DID NOT GET STUCK WITH MORE. I GUESS THE GIMICK IS SITTING OUTSIDE.??????

    • Ellen B. says...

      sorry steve got to disagree with you. way beyond’s bagels are what a ny bagel is all about. the water bagel place has just fair bagels that are way too soft.

  9. norman f says...

    best bagels and appetizing in boca. a bit expensive but the food is quality stuff.

  10. ES says...

    Bagels are outstanding as is their appetizing.

  11. HARVEY says...

    I think there bagels are the best in Florida.
    I’ve been to a number of bagel places in Florida and their bagels are as good as the ones I use to get from H & H in Manhattan.

  12. Mbc2012 says...

    Outstanding bagels.

  13. rabbit says...

    Way Beyond is definitely up there with the best SFLA bagel stores.

    • RFD says...

      Have to agree with you. Terrific bagels and food.

  14. Cappy says...

    One of the best bagel places in fl

  15. SPORTYJONES says...

    Don’t get there often but when I do I know that the bagels and chciken salad and low fat tuna salad that Im picking up will be delicious.
    Stopped there today around 12:45pm and the store was very busy and every table outside was taken.
    Took home a lb of chicken salad and low fat tuna and a bakers dozen.
    They make great food and the Russian pumpernickle bagel is one of my favorites.
    No question a bit more expensive on the food, 13 bagels goes for 10 bucks, but well worth the money.
    No question that WBB is one of the best bagel stores in Fl. Also no question it could compete with most of the bagel stores in Manhattan that I’m familar with.
    If you havent tried you are really missing out.

  16. Zio says...

    No doubt in my mind. Best bagel store in Fl

    • Henry A says...

      Have to agree.
      Their food is terrific.

      • George Rosen says...

        Food is good if not a bit on the expensive side. The takeout counter isn’t very professional but the quality food allows the owner to hire kids to handle orders.

  17. RFG says...

    Very good bagels and bialys. Appetizing is also very good. Counter people are a bit disorganized so can’t give this one 5 stars. Take the service out of equation and it gets 5 .

    • Dr. Numac says...

      Agree food is excellent. Service is a bit confused.

  18. Ronnie G says...

    Haven’t found anyone in Florida who comes even close.

  21. IHR says...

    This is by far and away the best bagel store in s Florida.
    Bagels, bialys, tuna, chicken salad all top shelf.

  22. RRE says...

    Took out tuna. Low cal tuna and chicken salad. They were terrible. Like eating white paste.
    Bagels were good.

    • Lynn K says...

      Hate the service here.
      Bagels are very good. Tuna salad is lousy.

  23. SkipperJones says...

    First time there yesterday.
    Chicken salad on a toasted ET for me. Wife had tuna on an onion bagel. Excellent food. A bit pricey. Service setup is confusing. All in all will be back as food was terrific.

  41. Joe k says...

    Heard the joint was sold.
    Bagels aren’t as good as they use to be.
    Can taste the difference.

  42. JoyceEatsBagels says...

    Since the joint was sold the bagels which use to be terrific have gone to just average.
