Sunbeam Bagels – A Fresh Morning Staple in Historic Downtown Bryan

If you’re strolling through Historic Downtown Bryan and catch the aroma of freshly baked bagels, chances are you’ve found Sunbeam Bagels. This cozy bagel and coffee shop, which opened its doors in 2024 at 315 S Main St Ste 114, has quickly become a morning favorite for locals and visitors alike.

Sunbeam Bagels is the brainchild of Jake Mitchell, an Aggie alum and owner of Rx Pizza. The shop’s name pays homage to the historic “Sunbeam” train that once ran from Houston to Dallas, connecting the region. With its spacious patio and inviting interior, it’s the perfect spot to sip a locally roasted coffee and enjoy a hand-rolled bagel—made fresh daily. Whether you’re craving a classic everything bagel with cream cheese or a creative sandwich stacked with local ingredients, Sunbeam delivers quality and charm.

What makes Sunbeam Bagels stand out is its deep connection to Bryan’s culture. The shop sources ingredients from nearby farms and vendors, supporting the local economy. Plus, its location in the heart of the Texas Cultural District means you can pair your breakfast with a visit to nearby art galleries or the Downtown Bryan Street & Art Fair, held on the First Friday of each month. The team at Sunbeam also hosts pop-up events, collaborating with other local businesses to create a true community hub.
