This rental EV is not only fun to drive, I am finding some amazing places to eat when I stop to charge it. This was another fantastic place I found. I stopped in. The place is bright and clean. I like the atmosphere. They even have a table with a chess board and pieces, so you can have a game if you want to. Everybody that I talk to was friendly. They have an amazing bagel menu, but I decided to go a little bit light. I chose the gonzo bagel, with. Hummus, Havarti, cucumber, tomato, onion, avocado, and arugula. I also had them put on a little bit of mayo and Dijon mustard. They were out of the everything bagel, so instead I had it on a tomato herb bagel. I'm glad I had that bagel instead, because it was delicious. It was already a high-quality bagel, and the tomato herb just added to it. The bagel was amazing! The bagel itself was a very good texture, and all of the ingredients just played well with each other. It was very fresh, I liked the creaminess of the avocado, as well as the Pepperiness of the arugula. Everything was just great. Of course I forgot to take a picture. The bagel, and a spindrift lime springwater I had to drink, everything was great, the prices were very reasonable. They also offer a military/veteran's discount. I would gladly stop by here the next time I'm passing through. Thank you.

Innovative and fun bagel sandwiches!! This is significantly less crowded than Tahoe Bagel shop and just as delicious. That being said, they don't prioritize simple bagels with cream cheese (specifically they don't have lox cream cheese!) so if you want bagel sandwiches, this place is it. But if you want a simple toasted bagel with cream cheese, it's almost as good as Tahoe bagel!

Best. Bagels. Ever. Homegirl behind the counter was rad. Artwork on the walls spoke to my soul. Pokey Gumby on Sesame Bagel. Perfect.

We're back for our annual Valentines ski trip and had to stop by our favorite Tahoe bagel shop. This year I got the Kerfuffle breakfast sando and she got an everything bagel with pesto. The sando was delicious and we were in such a rush to eat it I forgot to take pictures. The gentleman taking our order was super kind. Crispy on outside - doughy on inside. Check it out for yourselves.

Dragonfly Bagel is a pleasant shop to grab a delicious bagel, that's why I made sure to make a stop here again on my most recent trip. The staff are friendly and personable, offering fast and excellent service. For both visits, I got the Lox of Love Bagel. The first time, it was on an everything bagel. During the second visit, I picked the jalapeño cheddar bagel since they ran out of the everything. The bagels were both delicious and filling, with a nice filling of lox and other toppings. If you're a fan of bagels, definitely give them a try because they really make some delicious bagels!

Dragonfly Bagel is another level of delicious. I don't think there are many great bagel spots in the Carson area, so anytime I'm in South Lake Tahoe around breakfast time I gotta make it to Dragonfly. The bagels are so fresh, perfectly chewy, and served warm and toasty. The cream cheese is always perfectly smeared and their special cream cheeses are crazy unique and have the perfect amount of flavor. Dragonfly is an order and go type of place or sit down at one of their few tables and enjoy your bagel while playing one of their board games. It usually only takes 5-10 minutes for a great bagel to hit your table and the staff is very nice. They also have some great specials and serve alcohol if bagels and beer are your thing! Enjoy!

I don't get up to Lake Tahoe often these day but if I do, I HAVE to get a sandwich from Dragonfly. If I lived here, it would be an every day thing. 10/10 on taste, quality, service, and atmosphere! If you haven't tried it, you are missing out!

The bread is pretty good here! My family and I ordered the "Advance-Order 6 pack (2 bag limit, and ordered with at least 12 hrs notice)" option and got two tubs of cream cheese. The Jalapeños Poppers Cream Cheese was the perfect balance of creamy, pickled, and slightly spicy. The bagels were delicious and fluffy but I wouldn't really describe it as traditional bagels. It reminds me more of a thick and fluffy sandwich bread.

Such a good find! We were visiting South Lake for the weekend for a girls trip. Came here for a quick, easy breakfast. Loved it so much we came back by on our way home the next day! The bagels are delicious. Less dense than your typical bagel, and so tasty! Absolutely recommend supporting this small business!

Located off 50, across the street from the DMV, is Dragonfly. I was greeted and the first one in. There were plenty of seats and very clean inside. I ordered LOX OF LOVE Bagel Sandwich. The wait wasn't long at all. They slightly toasted the bagel, which I appreciate. You have to taste the bagel and not mask it with toasting it. The salmon was smokey. The cream cheese added a that creamy, tart, fattiness. There were a little too much capers action, wet, sour bite. It was still really good.. The tomato was fresh, juicy, and earthy sweet. You could taste that the bagel was fresh and it was the star with that tomato and herbs, lightly toasted bagel. It had a good chew on it. *I wish the Bagel was fluffier, but I understand your working against elevation*
