This anticipated Cleveland-based bagel shop will open its first Columbus location this weekend

Columbus’ long wait for Cocky’s Bagels is nearly over.

According to co-owners Natalie Beta and Keene Cockburn, the popular Cleveland-based shop known for its bagels and bagel sandwiches told 614Now that it plans to officially open the doors of its first Columbus storefront on Aug. 20.

Billed as the “best bagels + bagel sandwiches in Cleveland,” Cocky’s Columbus store is located at 1482 N. High St.

Beta said that when she attended Miami University, the most popular spot to eat was a deli and bagel shop, and her and Cockburne (the name Cocky’s is a play on his last name) wanted to create a similar style of eatery. Cocky’s opened its first location in 2019, and today the concept operates a pair of Cleveland locations and a food truck.

Patrons can opt for sandwiches like the Steak Egg ‘N Cheese, the Hot Italian, Blt and many more.

The new Columbus bagel shop will be open 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The first 50 customers at Cocky’s during their grand opening this weekend will receive a free shirt.
