I ordered a American garlic bagel. The seeds on the bagel were burnt to a crisp. The stinkiest nastiest thing. I could not eat it at all and it wasn't not cheap. When getting in the car something smelt weird but I figured it would be okay. To top it off I also got a French toast bagel with cream cheese to try it. It was edible but it had been pressed together raw with the garlic at some point one side of the bagel tasted like garlic. I ate here many times years ago and I'm disappointed. I have had a lot of good experiences in the past. $10 for the bad bagel was a lot for something I couldn't eat and didn't have the time to return then $5 for a bagel that had a bad taste.

This place is great and I look forward to my Turkcranstuffel every year. Both locations are great, but Woodland staff just seems to know you, especially Danielle. She is the kindest, sweetest person. She just makes you feel welcomed and she talks to everyone. She brings a smile every day to work, rain or shine.

The atmosphere at the one off Boston road is terrific. The other location is fine. Nothing special bur always seems clean and there is lots if seating. The prices are too bad and the food is always very 😋. I find their brewed coffee to be very bitter.

From out of town and the company I visited ordered lunch from here. It was like bagel sandwich roulette as none of the sandwiches were labelled. I was fortunate enough to blindly grab the BMB... which I must say was the BoMB! Everyone else also enjoyed their surprise!... so from the variety available, it seems like good flavor across the board.

The bagels and blueberry cream cheese are excellent! The only thing I didn’t like is I ordered a dozen bagels to-go for a work event and they said they couldn’t toast them on the dozen orders. Other than that though the bagels are worth the trip!

Great Bagel isn’t just another bagel shop—it’s a labor of love. They mill their own flour in-house, giving their bagels a fresh, nutty flavor that’s unlike anything you’ll find at a chain. The bagels are perfectly chewy with a golden, crisp exterior that makes each bite irresistible.

But what really makes Great Bagel stand out is the staff. The warmth and kindness you’ll encounter here is unparalleled. Every person behind the counter greets you with a genuine smile, takes the time to chat, and makes you feel like you’re part of the family. It’s the kind of place where you feel like a regular on your first visit, and that’s rare these days.

If you're looking for a spot where exceptional bagels meet a community-focused atmosphere, this is your place. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to visit every morning—and the kind of staff you’ll look forward to seeing every time.

This was one of the best bagels I’ve ever had. I had an everything bagel with scallion scream cheese, bacon, egg, and tomato and WOAH delicious! My boyfriend had the Asiago bagel with scallion cream cheese and also phenomenal. The coffee was equally delicious! A must go place.

Always the sweetest people working friendly and efficient I always get the American with sausage spicy mayo and the hash brown on top love the vibe of the place clean too!

PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE. I will never support this place based on my only 3 experiences I’ve had here.

Food is very good, but customer service could be a lot better.

Ordered food from here for delivery. Cannot comment on the atmosphere of the establishment, and to be fair delivery always impacts food quality. Overall it was underwhelming. We got two breakfast sandwiches and neither one was good. They forgot part of our order. My wife said the cinnamon roll was ok but overall we would not recommend this place.
