Proper Bagel

Nashville


Turn an everything bagel into something spectacular with some unique cream cheese offerings, such as birthday cake, cookie dough and bacon jalapeño. This slick bagel shop across from Belmont University also offers carrot cake waffles, fig and prosciutto toast and caprese salad. Order at the counter, grab your Barista Parlor coffee and settle in on the sunny patio.

It's clear Proper Bagel is sending a message by not offering public wi-fi. Don't bother bringing your laptop.
