This is a gem in Southington. The bagels are always delicious and they have a great variety of cream cheese flavors. The staff is friendly and efficient. The owners are an asset to the community, with their contributions to "plate it forward" and other local charities. If you haven't been, you're missing out!!

My favorite spot to grab a bagel! Service is always great and the staff is so nice and friendly. Everyone always has a smile on their face and goes above and beyond. Been there many times and there has never been even a slight drop on quality or service. Wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars, thank you Fancy Bagels Xpress!

I really like the bagels. I wish the day old bagels weren't grouped together with spicy bagels and bagels with chocolate in them because of dietary limitations neither of them work for me.

Fancy Bagel Xpress ("FBX") is popular in CT Bagel World. I've been to the Southington Fancy Bagel, but my first trip to The X was today. I'm a fan.FBX is a small shop in the middle of a residential area. Talk about a plot twist. I was expecting it to be in a business area. There was a short line when I walked in on Saturday around 9:45 am, and several people were waiting for their orders. They managed the line and backlog well, and I never felt like we were waiting an unreasonable time given their obvious popularity.I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on a toasted Sesame as my primary bagel, but I had to order a sourdough bagel with veggie cream cheese as well and had part of that. Veggie cream cheese is one of the ways I compare bagel places. My SEC was very good. The bagel had a load of sesames. The bagel had good chewy texture. The sausage and American cheese were very good. FBX had a different take on the egg than most places. It's as if they made a thin omelette style egg and then wrapped it around the sausage. This worked well, but I'm partial to a fried egg with a touch of yolk run. I've never made this observation about a bagel before, but the sesame bagel seemed like it had a below average amount of salt in the dough. It was still good and I suspect this was a one off thing since I didn't notice this with the Sourdough bagel. Also, the salt from the sausage and cheese helped balance this anyway.The Sourdough bagel was also very good texture wise. If we're all food snobs about certain things, one of mine is veggie cream cheese. I knew I was in good shape as soon as I saw the color of FBX's VCC, which was a very pale yellow green. The cream cheese was uniformly smooth, but it was obvious that fresh herbs and other veggies had been blended in. Dill stood out as a flavor. FBX had a different style of VCC, and it's the first new attention-grabbing VCC I've had in a while.Fancy Bagel Xpress is deservedly a well loved Bagel Shop. My iced coffee was also good. They even have smoothies.4.5 Stars

Third time I was here and the worker's never look happy. The large woman who works the front counter was taking an order on the phone and told the person "it's going to be at least 20 minutes, we got slammed this morning." Why would you tell a customer that? And then her co-worker said "you should have told her four hours." That same worker was constantly handling bagels with no gloves. Also, this place randomly closes early before the time that's posted. Another place that's on my 'banned for life' list.

Wow. Color me impressed! I'm very selective about my bagels and I can firmly say Fancy Bagel Xpress just got added to my very short list! Between the cream cheese and bagel lineup and the bomb sandwich we didn't know what we wanted more! They also had amazing smoothies. Still thinking about that strawberry pina colada! We had a great experience with a great staff and a cool space. Outside seating is available, but be aware inside is pick up only! This is a must stop!

Great portion not big but perfect GREAT service taste and quality. Top tier breast/lunch spot everything was spot
Never again! After a previous bad experience I decided to give fancy bagel express another chance. Unfortunately, this place is not up to the standards of the other fancy bagel locations. Called in my order, waited 20 minutes to pick up. When I arrived they they had lost my order. I reordered and waited another 20 minutes to get the food. I drove off slightly annoyed only to realize they had messed up the order and had added cheese which I am allergic to. 40 minutes and $6.00 for nothing. Go somewhere else.
