Steamed bagels are the jam! We stopped in for lunch. It was hard to decide because there are so many options, but we had three different sandwiches and we all loved our food. The customer service was excellent. They were very busy but it only took about -10 minutes to get our orders. It's a cute little shop for a quick bite!

Clean, welcoming neighborhood bagel joint that offers fantastic sandwiches. It takes longer to decide what you'll be ordering, due to the vast menu, than it does for the bagel to come out. Staff is helpful, and offer substitutions!

This place is a hidden gem and the city's best kept secret, in my opinion! The bagels are always steamed to perfection. The options are endless and extremely flexible. I love trying new combinations! The grab-and-go deli style and chalkboard menu create a unique vibe. The customer service has always been exceptional as well!

Ripple Bagel & Deli is a locally owned deli that has been in Broad Ripple since the 1970's. Their sandwiches are made on their freshly made (in-house) bagels. The shop is eclectic, with a cool neighborhood vibe. When I stopped by, the tables were full except for one that I snagged. The place was hopping. I ordered and paid at the counter. They had a huge assortment of plain, breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwich options, including veggie options. I chose the Five-0, consisting of bacon, cream cheese on an onion bagel. Most of the bagels are steamed to keep them soft and chewy. My sandwich was ready in 10 minutes. The Five-0 was warm and delicious with lots of crispy bacon and a great bagel. I could eat these everyday. The clerk was super friendly and helpful. He described how the bagels were prepped and offered me a hard copy of the menu. They serve coffee as well. Prices are reasonable. Parking in Broad Ripple is limited and metered. I found parking about a block away and dropped all my change into the meter. I'll be stopping every time I'm in BR.

Best bagel sandwiches in the area! Very similar to CBA in Chicago. I love steamed bagel style sandwiches. The big N is my go to and it's loaded! I will say it is very messy so make sure to grab enough napkins. It's filled with turkey, cream cheese, lettuce, honey mustard and avocado. What dreams are made of. Love the new option for ordering ahead such a time saver. And to top it all off they have blue Powerade on fountain! Inside is small with limited seating so I would recommend grabbing it to go. And they do travel well!

First time I went there, I waited 45 minutes for my egg and cheese sandwich. The location itself is pretty small, but they keep you entertained with a lot of drawings and menu options on the wall, and watching the workers make the dozens of sandwiches per hour. While, it was incredibly good, I thought the wait was extremely long. Luckily, I discovered they have an online app that you can use to order ahead. Since using the app, my girlfriend and I have loved going here every weekend she's in town. The food is delicious and consistent every single time. Prices are pretty standard for a bagel sandwich. I strongly recommend the place to those who live in Broad Ripple or are looking to explore a bagel sandwich place in Indianapolis.

This is a great deli with PLENTY of options. Staff is always very friendly! This round I got the White Box which 10/10! I highly recommend it. I would give them 5 stars but there are always long wait times. But hey that means they're doing well. For me, I want to be in and out. Overall the vibes are chill!

Hard to have anything to complain about here. Can't go wrong with a hole in the wall bagel shop. Super busy as was expected for a Saturday morning around noon, but our bagels didn't take too long. So many options on the menu and everything sounded great. Went with the Elvis (wild honey pie add bacon) and the Tape Your Ankles. We both ate in silence because it was so good (and messy). Will be back to explore the menu further for sure.

I went to Ripple Bagel and Deli today. Located on Broad Ripple Avenue, the place serves bagel sandwiches. I ordered the Deer Creek from the vegetarian section. I liked the sandwich a lot. It was $7 and very filling. You really don't need anything else with it. I wished the food came out quicker, so maybe that's why I'm thinking 4 stars vs 5. But I applaud the vast menu and the veggie friendly section. It's a casual atmosphere, and you can either sit down or take it to go. I think pretty much around me did the latter. I would recommend it as the sandwich was tasty.
