Finding a good bagel is one of life’s simple pleasures, and the folks up there in New York think they have it down pat. Sure, Brooklyn makes a pretty good bagel, but have you ever indulged in Tennessee? Proper Bagel opened a few years ago right in the heart of Middle Tennessee and we think these delicious circles of bread give that northern city a run for its money. But hey, what do we know? You need to try it for yourself!
Proper Bagel is located in a gorgeous old home right behind Belmont University. It's a popular spot for students and families alike, just a stone's throw from Hillsboro Village and the bustling 12 South area
Designed to emulate that ever-iconic New York bagel shop, you'll order at the counter with a gorgeous display of cream cheeses and schmear on display in the cold case.

Not a bagel fan? We don't quite understand that, but we'll give you grace. You can indulge in a variety of coffee-based beverages, teas, avocado toast, and breakfast sandwiches.

The space is decked out in white tile with black accents, streamlined with long, communal tables and a few spots out on the front patio.
