Jim's Bagel & Bake Shoppe

I don’t quite understand some of the other reviews on here. The spot opens early for people who are hungry and working in the morning. Breakfast sandwiches are good. Inside is clean with comfortable seats. People working inside are nice. Pastries are good. Would come back.

This place deserves all the stars! ⭐ The food is delicious, the prices are excellent, and the portions are generous. The place is clean and welcoming, and the location is perfect—right across from the train station. They also open starting at 5:00 in the morning. Highly recommended!💖

Delicious bagels and iced latte are also very good. Great service.

Great simple place with good food. Seems to always be busy. Right across from where the train stops in Gloucester.

My rule of thumb for cooks (of any kind) is, would you eat this? Would you pay for this? If the answer is No, then why the hell would I? Hot lava innards wrapped in a cold chewy bagel. Criminal to ask for something extra toasted and it comes out microwaved.
On the positive side my dogs got an extra treat this morning, but likely just turning to diarrhea that ill have to clean up later.
By the looks of the bagel sandwich, it was either them or me.

A small coffee shop with a few seats. The coffee was just okay. Bagels taste fresh. Also got a cinnamon roll, and it was mostly bread. Not very sweet with very little icing.

I love to try new local places when I'm in different areas. I read the reviews on Jim's and I was initially not going to try it but I said you know what, let's give it a shot. I walked in, it's clearly a popular local spot, the reviews are not stopping the regulars who frequent this place. There was a funky smell to the place when I walked in, not what you'd expect walking into a bagel shop but maybe it was the onions? The place has an old time feel to it, the bakery cases are dark with no lights in them but the stuff in them looked delicious. I grabbed an iced cappuccino, a strawberry frosted donut and honey cinnamon bagel. The ice cappuccino was great, the strawberry frosted donut was awesome, light and fluffy and not honey dipped first. The bagel was good too, but I had it untoasted and 8 hours later so it clearly could have been much better freshly toasted with cream cheese. All that only cost me about $8! I wouldn't let the one start reviews put you off from trying Jim's.

I ordered a cake and some gluten free cupcakes for a party. When I arrived to pick them up I first noticed the cashier and friends were looking at my receipt and laughing. They came out with the cake and said when they took the order they didn’t know they don’t do GF foods. Not sure why they didn’t call me and let me make appropriate adjustments. I had placed the order over 2 weeks prior. Also not sure why they thought it was good customer service to laugh about it. BYW. Cake Ann came to my rescue and had amazing GF cupcakes at the last minute. The regular cake we had was good.

Mini apple turn overs here are fantastic 😍
