Our story

A small bakery, baked with a lot of heart.

Iris Bagel & Coffee House started with a simple idea: bring a true neighborhood bakery to Arlington — where the dough is hand-rolled, the coffee is brewed with patience, and every person who walks through the door is met like a friend.

Inside Iris Bagel & Coffee House

We start before sunrise.

Our mornings begin at 4 AM. By the time the first car pulls into the lot, the bagels are golden, the cream cheese is fresh, and the espresso machine is dialed in. It's an unglamorous routine — and it's the secret to everything you taste.

Family, in every sense.

We're family-owned and family-run. That means we know our regulars by name, we remember how you take your coffee, and we sweat the details — from the chew of the bagel to the swirl on top of your latte. Hospitality isn't a strategy here. It's who we are.

“This place is fire. The bagels — perfect. Amazing food, drinks, and staff. Cant wait to go back!”
