Bagels Restaurants near Brookline, MA

““ Masterpieces in the form of Sandwiches “ These people @ Michael’s Deli don’t make sandwiches they make masterpieces. When my immigrant parents said “ Study Hard” they meant so I can live in a neighborhood that serves sandwiches like those found at Michael’s Deli. Even if you don’t live close take the train , fly , drive or walk . These sandwiches are phenomenal.“

“LOVEEE Kupel’s! This is my favorite place to go for smoked salmon on a bagel.
Everything is delicious, the staff are so friendly, and the atmosphere is lovely. Reasonable prices and great quality for what you get!! Shoutout to Ruthy for being SO WONDERFUL!:)“

“Really cute cafe. There’s not a ton of seating, but tables turned over pretty fast. My turkey BLT was great and I was impressed by how standout the tomato pesto was, it really made the classic sandwich unique. Recommend this place for sure.“

“TEAM GUSTAVO: I wanted to take the time to acknowledge Gustavo Teo for the great customer service, so attentive and always willing to go above and beyond. When I've gone to the store if there's a specific bagel that I'm looking for and there's a couple of the specific bagel he is always letting me of other options that are similar that I might want to try. Thank you so very much for being so respectful and well mannered. Makes it a very nice place to come too. He is a great asset to the company, great customer service is hard to come by and having a person like; its like a breath of fresh air. Much appreciated. Very professional.“

“Three of us went in yesterday around 11:45 for a quick lunch and we were all very happy: I had the cold turkey sandwich on a challah roll, the coleslaw and a secret dressing were on the sandwich and it was delicious. I'm also not a huge lover of pickles, but the nice big one accompanying the sandwich was good!

Other dishes were the chicken salad on a bagel and a bagel, schmear and veggies. Katie (I think that is her name???) took our order and brought it out as soon as it was ready, as well as checked in with us to see how everything was.

We sat along the window for people watching, Washington Square never disappoints! Embarrassed to say it was my first time in, but definitely will not be the last!“

“The best coffee and bagels around. Bagels are legit, chewy but not hurt your teeth chewy and good flavors. Every sandwich is good but chicken salad is the best. The sweets are good too, not overly sweet like some other coffee shops...

Parking: Meter parking on street“

“Bagels were great. Fresh, crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. Our favorites were salt and everything bagel.
Its s great place to try with 2-3 people, the minimum purchase is 3.
Its not a great place to order a bagel in your way to work or for a quick bite.“

“I live in Bar Harbor, Maine, and one of my guests staying with us offered me a homemade bagel from this establishment. It's one of the best poppy seed bagels I've had in a long time, and the homemade chive cream cheese pairs so perfectly with the smoked salmon. It made my day eating this bagel after work. I love lox. It's one of the sweetest gifts a guest has ever given me. 💕 When I travel the coast looking at lighthouses this winter, this bagel shop will definitely be on my places to stop. Alan is a great supporter and saleman! I'm happy to have met him and have him as one of my guests. Great memory, I'll keep with me. Thanks Alan 😊😊“

“Love them!!! Been going here for decades, and they have never disappointed me. Regardless who is working that counter! The best bagels in Massachusetts!!! And don’t forget to try their hotdog & pizza bagels. You’ll thank me later 😊“

“It's a weird review - but I thought I'll say it. The bagel was excellent, but I didn't pay for it. I visited on an afternoon last week, a day before I was to leave Boston. I asked about the bagels because I wanted to try one, and I didn't know I couldn't just get one (I had no use for other two, or the tub of cream cheese). The person at the desk kindly just offered me a bagel to try, and said I didn't need to pay for it.

Thank you for being a kind light during a very trying week. I remember it as one of the nicest memories of Boston. I hope to come back to Boston to visit you guys again!“

“Everything about this place is great, i love the location, the food, the coffee ,the people who work there! Smoothies are excellent!

My only complaint is that they don't have cinnamon raisin bagels, but damn are their bagels tasty!“

“We love bagelsaurus! You certainly have the market for bagels in this area. Others just don’t compare. Best bagel sandwiches. Please bring back online preordering for sandwiches on weekends. Online ordering was time efficient for everyone and child friendly in a location that is generally very child unfriendly.“

“They serve the absolute best bagels in the Boston area and their cream cheeses are to die for. Excellent sandwich creations...They also make great pastries donuts, and cookies. The coffee is pretty flavorful as well. The staff is friendly and awesome.“

“Hello my friend, I visited your page on the website, I like everything very much“

“Great bagels and lunch place.“

“Excellent experience and product. The staff are the defining aspect for those store: they are fantastic and friendly towards all humans and dogs. They have dog treats here. I love the rotating schmears. Admittedly, some are not for me, but I appreciate being able to sample them. There is vegan schmear as well as drip coffee, juices, etc.

Disregard most of the complaints here. They’re mainly from customers who don’t understand that this is a different type of concept. PopUp Bagels advertises that their bagels are meant to be “ripped and dipped” in the schmear instead of eaten like a sandwich. Yes, it kind of is silly that you can’t buy just one bagel, but I don’t mind the three-bagel minimum as I’ll eat one per day.

There’s limited bar stool seating inside the store, and there is some seating outdoor seasonally. Otherwise, this is mainly a place where you go and pick up bagels and leave.“

“This place has amazing breakfast sandwiches, I love the onion bagels! They are so soft and toasted perfectly! The hot and cold coffees are really good tooo! I will be coming here a lot! It’s like being in a New York bagel shop right in Allston, I love it!“

“Just finished eating a plain bagel with jalapeño cream cheese here I almost didn't go because I know their bagels are best when they're fresh and it's getting close to two in the afternoon, but there's a spot out front so I figured I'd try anyway, and just my luck they had a fresh batch of plain bagels that just finished cooking. They were just as good as I remember them being in high school and honestly, the shop looks almost exactly; the same staff are friendly as always and I'll definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Needham. Dunkin' Donuts eat your heart out“

“Hands down the very best bagel that I have ever had. I’m salivating thinking about the next visit there. Better than New York bagels.“

“I wanted to share my recent experience at your establishment, as it has been weighing on my mind.

On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, I visited between 7:50 and 8:00 a.m., hoping to enjoy a quick breakfast before work. I approached the counter and explained to the young lady that I had come in the day before, Monday, January 5, around the same time, and unfortunately, my bagel order was incorrect. I simply wanted to ensure that this time my order would be right.

I understand that people have busy days, and when she asked why I hadn’t called or returned the previous day, I explained that I was at work and unable to be on my phone unless it was an emergency. I could sense that my request caught her off guard, which perhaps affected her response.

I wasn’t seeking a refund or anything for free; I just wanted to make sure my order would be correct. A little kindness can go a long way, and I felt that my intention was met with contempt.
I truly believe we all have our moments, and it’s important to remember that everyone has their own struggles.

As someone who has been a loyal customer for four years, it was disheartening to feel a lack of understanding in that interaction, especially when all I wanted was to make sure my order was correct this time. I know it can be challenging in a busy environment, but all I hoped for was a simple acknowledgment maybe stating, “I’m sorry that happened,” and a commitment to get my order right this time.

I genuinely appreciate the hard work that goes into running a business like this, and I hope my feedback can help foster a more supportive atmosphere for both staff and customers. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts.“

“I have been going to Bagels Best since I was a kid with my grandfather every morning after I slept over. They have had the best bagels by a long shot and I have traveled across the state to get their bagels, breakfast bagel, and smoked salmon which is spectacular! Such great food in a great establishment run by amazing people who care about their customers. Highly recommended!!“

“Amazing Staff, amazing food !!! If You’re in Harvard Sq. don’t miss out!“

“My favorite bagel with lox - perfect every time!“

“This is our favorite go to bagel spot in our neighborhood. Staff is always friendly, fresh bagels, and quick. Online ordering is a great option when you’re on the go. We love getting their bagels by the dozen for the house as they stay fresh for awhile. Highly recommend!“

“I recommend this location for their bagels, but NEVER buy a gift card for someone who would use this location. They do not take them. Corporate says that because this is a licensed store, they can choose not to....buyer beware for here and ANY location that is licensed on a college campus, airport or mall. They apologized and have only a handful of locations in the USA that will take a gift card. 😢“

“Fantastic shop that is quickly becoming a favorite in the area. If you like to experiment with new flavors, the espresso lab has something to surprise you! Espresso and orange juice? Espresso and corn? I'm always impressed with how much I enjoy the drinks. If you really need a caffeine boost, Hong Kong style black tea latte will wake you right up. Grab yourself an egg tart for the road, you deserve it“

“Great coffee & some of the best breakfast sandwiches in all of Boston“
