Tandem is great! Wonderful, friendly people! Excellent bagels and scrumptious cream cheese flavors! Bacon Scallion or Sun Dried Tomato is my fav. The Nicollet Bike Shop is my go to lunch sandwich. Soup is tasty, and the Energy Bombs are fab. Great salads - and the ranch dressing is awesome! Featured cream cheese flavors, drink & food specials rotate monthly.

Just stopped here this morning for their many vegan options and I was very happy. The place is very clean and they offer such yummy looking and tasty food. The ladies at the front counter were very helpful and even told me about their vegan Thursdays when they have other options like cookies and scones. Can I just say this is probably one of the best vegan cream cheeses I have ever had. And the bagel was really great too :-) quiet and relaxing atmosphere and everything was perfect. I look forward to many more visits.

They had great bagel sandwiches. Tried the Lox and the Egg Sandwich with Sausage, would recommend both. Also had the nitro cold press coffee, which I thought tasted great. It was smooth and foamy with a fresh coffee flavor coming out. Plus they offer it in smaller sizes which I appreciate.

Love the food, but employees are always rude and act inconvenienced. Not a welcoming environment. I've come in on 4 occasions and it doesn't matter who's behind the counter, the attitudes are the same. I'll take my business to the other local shops that don't act like a customer is an inconvenience. Reading reviews this seems to be an issue you've had for years being rude to customers.

Great bagel Sandwhiches!!! Haven’t tried much other than that. Also the Carmel Iced Latte with Oat milk is 10/10!!!! I highly recommend coming here and trying their La Bici. So good!! A bit over priced but worth it every once n a while.

Awkward way to order, but nice staff. Very chewy bagel, nothing like NYC Jewish bagels. The cream cheese and scallions had bacon included, very light on flavor. Will not order again.

Great breakfast and lunch options available. Coffee was the best. Great customer service and sales associates were just divine.

Takeout/buying in bulk review: I have been a long standing fan of Tandem from their previous Northfield location. I work for a company that would order from them for weekly meetings, and I absolutely loved them!! I recently ordered 3 Tandem dozens for one of my baby showers. Order was complete and ready on time gave which I gave the review an extra star. I was disappointed with the quality of the bagels, but they may have just changed the recipes. These were dry and lacked toppings/flavor from what I remembered (especially the salt). My guests enjoyed them, but I might explore other options closer to me for my next two showers.

Tips for new comers: order bagels and food on the right hand side and all drinks and payment will be taken on the left at the register. They also sell out because they’re popular so make sure to come early !! Love all the food and bagels. Customer service is always great as well. I recommend the la bici for breakfast and a toasted Nicollet for lunch. :)

Tandem Bagels has everything needed for a great dining experience. Clean facilities. Friendly, patient, and helpful staff. And of course delicious food. Don't miss it.

Super cool place in downtown Mankato. The kid and I were craving bagels on a road trip home and found this place. He did a breakfast bagel and I did a healthy bagel. Prices were good. Food was great. Service was even better.
