Bagels Restaurants near Cambridge, MA

“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.“

“Visited this new branch and and my expectations were met. The bagels were fresh, hot, straight out of the fire. And the scallion cream cheese was absolutely delicious. I also got the brown sugar butter, that came out cold and hard so it was more difficult to eat on the spot. But the everything bagel + scallion cream cheese was a heavenly combo.

The space itself is pretty small, no where to sit just a standing bar. And it's quite loud, with music blasting, and hectic in there. The service is super fast, even with a long line.“

“Great bagels and lunch place.“

“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!“

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

“It's a small shop compared to the big grocery stores but has a nice selection of staples and treats. I had a chocolate rugelach there that just about melted my brain. The coffee is very good. The ambiance and the friendliness of the staff contribute to how much I like this store. The prices are average for the area for high quality goods. There's no seating.“

“Coffee is delicious“

“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 😊“

“Honestly, the bagels are always awesome, but the customer service is so great. They are so busy and yet somehow everybody working there happens to be happy, smiling and fun. Shout out to Recco who answered all my questions about cinnamon butter lol. He also really explained everything about pop-up bagel and he was super helpful in a very busy chaotic setting. Whoever is reading this, whoever has some sort of push bring back the cinnamon butter every day all day every month it does not need to go away cinnamon butter, forever.“

“Love the bagels here. They are so much better than that other bagel place. The employees at House of Bagels are so much nicer too!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“This was my first time and I had a very good experience. From the minute I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile. This is very important to set the tone for any business.

I ordered a toasted everything bagel with lox spread and veggies. The bagel was fresh and tasty. The tomatoes actually tasted like fresh tomatoes! The fact that this stands out speaks to other businesses that may not use as fresh ingredients.

The lox spread has a nice texture and is subtly flavored. I would recommend that if you want a strong lox taste to also order their smoked salmon.

I also ordered a large iced coffee. The coffee was delicious and the large was gigantic, which made me very happy.

Accessibility: the staff is very attentive and quickly activated their ramp for customers needing special assistance.

The prices are also very good. I will definitely come back.“

“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!!“

“This was the strangest experience I’ve ever had. Came in here at 9am on a Tuesday like the pregnant fat kid I am needing a bagel and cream cheese.

Turns out their bagels are sold in packs of 3 only. I went back and forth with the cashier being like but I just want ONE bagel. It is truly the oddest business model to be forced to buy 3 bagels for 15 bucks with cream cheese that only works for like 2 of the bagels.

I proceeded to be forget about it I’ll just google somewhere else in assembly when an angel of a store manager appeared like my knight in shining armor- he said he would just on the house give me 2 bagels and only charge me for the cream cheese (7). That was a really honest to goodness customer service act right there.

This dude totally made it right to be like yeah it’s really weird we don’t do single bagels.

Overall great experience here and the food was good, I just won’t be back because well… I just want one bagel and cream cheese for 3.50 like a normal place (mamalehas etc).

If you come here you can also eat at capitol one next door bc this spot has literally zero seating“

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

“The service & the food were absolutely off the hook, I saw a food review done previously by "Sal" and had to come in w/ my friend Arlene to check it out. We were greeted immediately upon entering and the food experience began.“

“I grew up in NY and have been looking for authentic tasting bagels. Bagel World is it! Best bagels I''ve had in Massachusetts“

“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. 😢“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“We were looking for a new place to try croissants and coffees. We found this by their good images and except the coffee the pastry wasn’t as good as we expected. However we found the drink good and enjoyed it. Their standing kiosk is not same as the items that they really have so keep in mind to check the glass display counter.“

“If you're looking for the most delicious breakfast sandwich that you've ever had in the world ??? come here!!!!??????
I had bacon,egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese!!!! Delectimo!!!!???????

Note; Hours 4 am- 12pm m-f - 4am- 1pm ss“

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

“We had a baby shower at the Bagel Table for my daughter. They were so helpful and accommodating! Great food and great service! Friendly people and atmosphere! Thank you!“

“Every once and awhile you come across a business that has it all - an outstanding product, genuinely wonderful people and an approach to customer service that restores your faith in humanity. Cafe Fresh Bagel delivers on all of those fronts. The bagels are superb and the variety, freshness and flavor of the wares on display is unsurpassed. The people who run the establishment are the kind of individuals that serve as the epitome of what entrepreneurs should be - hardworking, dedicated and thoughtful. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else for my bagels…!“

“I absolutely love this place! They have the best donuts and breakfast sandwiches, but aside from that I have never had a bad cup of coffee! I’ve only been coming here a couple times a week for the past two months and this morning I walked in and the girl behind the counter saw me coming and had my coffee made before I even got to the register. Amazing customer service!“

“Bagel sandwich with egg baco and cheese is my go to sandwich at Bagels and Brew and the coffees are delicious too . Highly recommended.“

“Very friendly Fast Clean Good food Good price“

“Honey cinnamon iced coffee + cherry-ginger scone is my favorite treat breakfast when i’m in the north end for doctors appointments!“

“What a nice little bagel shop. What really impressed me about this place is the service, large portions and the very fair pricing of goods. To be honest after having NY bagels, these don't seem as chewy in the middle, but for Boston they are good. Also, I've bought a chocolate croissant. The croissant didn't have that flakey buttery texture of a typical French style croissant. But, I will say they've made up for it as it was huge. The bagel and the cream cheese filling was very generous as well. If you want good value and good portions this is a place to go to.“

“I love Brueggers!!! I grew up going to the one in Belmont center and then when I moved into Boston I went to the downtown location. After that one closed my boyfriend and I decided that the Winchester location and the longwood location were equidistant from us. The workers were kind here and the service was very fast. Please don’t ever close down another location!!“

“The Belmont Bruegger's Bagels is a wonderful place to get bagels. The food is served deliciously-prepared, the right temperature, and quickly. The staff is friendly, professional, and efficient. And the store is clean. I love their coffee and bagels.“

“We stopped by the Congress St store on Thursday Oct 30, desperately needing coffee, but not wanting Dunkin or overpriced South Station places..we were delighted with two different variations on breakfast bagels . The bagels are perfect, not skimpy in the filling either... Coffee is out of this world and all are priced amazingly well for downtown Boston! The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive as well!!“

“The BYO lox bagel. Btw not an issue at all that the toppings were on the side. It was 10/10 the best I’ve ever had. Came with the right amount of everything so if you wanted more or less, it was up to you. Ofc onion, tomato and capers. Suggest with jalapeño cheddar and scallion CC. Cant wait to show my sister this place. I know she’d love it too.“

“I was very happy with my breakfast and coffee, very tasty and good value. I had the scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, and a cinnamon and raisin bagel with cream cheese.

The lady that served me was friendly, and the upstairs seating area was good.“

“It’s just great here I love it! The servers are amazing vibe and I love it in here. Very retro cute vibes. Sooo many options but you can ask the people at the front what they suggest and they will give Greta options to choose from! ❤️❤️ #manhattanbagel4life“

“This place is adorable and so cozy! I managed to snag a seat indoors after a bit of waiting and would love to spend a good rainy WFH day here. There are very limited seats so plan accordingly if you’re hoping to stay. I was a bit disappointed by my drink - their specialty lemonade ran around $7 and was not memorable. But, I was able to get work done and enjoyed the playlist and company.“

“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!“

“egg sandwich beats take-out McDonald's, burger King, Wendy's. close to True North. I'm biased as it's walking distance for me. Mike trying“

“Service was great and memorable but the food was even better! I thought the coffee was fine and good, but the “presto! pesto!” bagel I got was out of this world. Very pleasantly surprised and I will be returning. I will say that it can be quite noisy on the weekend so I don’t think I would come here to work or study, but otherwise great experience and no complaints.“

“Me and my husband have never been here before and decided to stop in on our way home. First thing we noticed was I believe the manager. You could really tell she ran a tight ship in a good way. She was guiding her staff through important routines such as ensuring everyone had a task like wiping tables, double checking togo orders (she caught and fixed a missing item in a bag), she also was making sure things were stalked appropriately. Small details that make things run smoothly and could tell she really cared about making the place run efficiently. In the short time we were there could tell everyone was really working hard and were friendly. On top of it the food was really good and would come back on our way through! Also was very quick to get our food.“

“I buy bagels 6 days a week at this store. It is always clean and ready for business at 6 a.m. They are always courteous and quick. Entrances are always clear of snow and the bathrooms are always clean. They are the opposite of Einstein Bagels which truly suck.“

“The BEST bagels!!! Outstanding selection!! Fantastic service!! Excellent location!!! When you’re in Boston,be sure to visit Better Bagels!!“

“Friendly staff with excellent kitchen crew. Great family run place with great atmosphere. You are treated like family here.“

“I’ve been having lunch almost every day at this marvelous place with my husband recovering from his heart surgery at BID, and I couldn’t have made a better choice for lunch. All the people who work there are so lovely and kind, and the bagel sandwiches are delicious! I leave feeling comforted and full.“

“We have been ordering beans from Wolf and the gang for a couple of months now. the coffee is amazing and the customer service is top-notch - no matter how many times my wife picks the wrong delivery schedule! She suggested I write that.“
