Food poisoning from the cream cheese. Staff had a weird attitude as well. Now I’m throwing up since last night and have to miss work…. Thanks Alex’s bagels!!!! :(

Long story short: ***Expensive for the quality. $5.25 for a bagel with cream cheese 🤯****
Cream cheese lacked umami, though the chive flavor was nice (taste was closer to a chive whipped cream). Bagel had a decent crunch on the outside, but was closer to a loaf bread on the inside. Staff wasnt very friendly and gossiped amungst themselves. Now I understand why there was only one other customer at 9:30 in the morning.

The best bagels this side of New York. Light, crisp crust with an airy inside. And if you get there early enough you can get them hot out of the oven.

Ordered an onion bagel with chive cream cheese. Taste was good, but the bagel was tough to eat.

Pumpernickel bagels had absolutely no flavor. It seeks like they are just regular bagels with brown color

These bagels are NYC worthy. Plump, warm, crispy on the outside and chewy inside. I had a feeling they might be good when I saw to guys speaking Yiddish outside the entrance when I walked in. :-)

Living locally, Alex’s Bagel shop is convenient and, for a number of years I purchased a bagel and cream cheese several times a week at both his former and new shops. I also often picked up bagels on weekends for my local daughter and her family and would buy a dozen bagels and a container of Alex’s cream cheese to take when visiting my other daughter who had moved to a Connecticut shoreline community. I have never particularly enjoyed going to the new shop because the counter staff are unfriendly almost to the point of being sullen.
But, about a year ago, something happened. I don’t know if perhaps the overhead of operating the new shop became too much, but the cream cheese spread on bagels became skimpy and the bagels were often stale. I stopped going.
Today I decided to give Alex’s another try. I ordered an “everything” bagel. It had no flavor and had a cake-like consistency. The “everything” mix on one side was nearly non-existent. It had no garlic flakes, and I could have counted the number of poppy and sesame seeds it was so skimpy. The other bagel half had a little more of the “everything” mix but only a few pieces of garlic. I paid $2.20 for a bagel without cream cheese since I had some at home. At that price, I wonder if a dozen bagels costs $26.40? I will not return and I do not recommend the bagels.
Being from Longmeadow, I know that Alex began by working at Kimmel’s Bagels (fantastic bagels), that he learned on the job, worked hard, and eventually bought the business when the Kimmels sold it upon retirement. It appeared that Alex had a bright future that I wanted to support, so i’m really sad writing a negative review.
I cant drive by Alex's without stopping. White fish salad and jalapeño cream cheese on a plain bagel. Thank me later

My husband and I live in Western MA and every once in awhile we venture into nearby towns for breakfast or lunch...this morning it was Alex's Bagel Shop in Longmeadow. Now, we've been around long enough to know that this is family owned and there's no doubt they work very hard. But that being said, who in their right mind charges $5.00 for a toasted bagel with a tiny spread of cream cheese? The cream cheese was almost non-existent. It cost us $13.00 plus change to buy two toasted bagels with cream cheese and one small black coffee. Youch. Very expensive. Now I wouldn't mind paying that or close to that if it were good. Unfortunately we didn't like any of it. The bagels, the cream cheese or the coffee. We both had stomach aches all day. It felt like food poisoning. We had stomach cramps for a good part of the whole day. Again, we know it's family owned so we're sorry but we are reporting the truth. Why is it so expensive? (Not to mention bad tasting) We will not go back ever again.

There is nothing like a high quality fresh baked bagel!!
Alex's has been our source for years!
And now they have expanded to making pastries which are fantastic - couldn't be happier!
