There?s not a lot of variety in sandwich ingredients, they pack a LOT of cream cheese with the bagel, and they messed our order up once. That said, it?s a verycute, quirky location with very friendly and helpful staff.

I finally made it, and it was decent. The bagel was thick and chewy, but the sandwich itself was a bit bland. Maybe I picked the wrong item or had my expectations too high. It wasn’t bad, just didn’t impress me as much as I hoped.

We usually grab a coffee at Roebling afterward. We absolutely love Lil’s – they truly have the best bagels ever. We even visited New York City, known for its bagels, and every place we tried left us thinking, “Lil’s is better.” The staff here are always wonderful, greeting us warmly and making us feel right at home. We enjoy eating our bagels on the back patio and often bring friends, especially first-timers to the area. The sandwiches, like the BEC and GEC, are our go-to favorites, but honestly, any schmear or item you get is delicious. Our top bagels are Everything, Old Bay, and Parmesan Pepper. We can’t wait to see what Lil’s comes up with next. It’s a true Covington staple, and we love everything about it.
