“Hot fresh bagels with lots of seeds or toppings on them. It’s purely takeout so even if you only want one bagel get three with a schmear and have a party. They don’t have a place to sit, but there are plenty of spots nearby. Go across the street to the Commonwealth pier and enjoy a bagel with a view.“

“Bagels are absolutely awesome here! It came fresh out of the oven, the plain one in particular I ordered the sesame, every thing bagel and the plain one. Each one of them have their own individual flavor to explore, and I really enjoyed all of them. Me and my mom had some issues figuring out how to order but one of the servers were extremely polite and offered to explain to us. They gave us also a big tub of cream cheese, which is quite surprising for me personally as a foreigner. The atmosphere was also very nice as it seems like the decoration made the whole shop very suitable to its name as it pops up! Overall, I really recommend to try this place if you want a quick bite touring or visiting or studying around Harvard.“

“A great artisan bagel! As a venture of the the TinyEngineCollective behind Forge Baking Co, Page & LEaf, and Cafe Diesel, it’s no surprise that Park Bagelry brings top-notch ingredients to meet an outstanding service. It’s been lovely to see the shop grow in its menu offerings and hours.
The star is — of course — their freshly-made, fluffy Montreal-inspired bagels which are great with a variety of spreads or as breakfast sandwiches. They can be rich but tasty! It’s great to see the staff and owners working side by side to support this community-atmosphere. Love stopping here for a morning bite + coffee.
Be advised that at peak times, the sandwich making bar can become a little bit backed up.“

“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.“

“Hello my friend, I visited your page on the website, I like everything very much“
“This place is amazing. I walked in for the first time today and everyone was so nice. Got taken care of by Alexis and Keisha who are both so nice and Alexis gave me a rundown of the entire menu in less than a minute making it easy for me to order. The atmosphere of the place is perfect for a bagel spot and I definitely will be going back mostly thanks to Alexis and Keisha. I highly recommend.“

““ 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.“

“My favorite bagel with lox - perfect every time!“
“Got a variety of tarts (classic egg, strawberry custard egg, jasmine matcha tart) and a strawberry matcha latte on a Monday afternoon after lunch nearby. There was a promo where if you buy 2 tarts you get 1 free. My favs were the strawberry matcha latte and jasmine matcha tart.
The strawberry jam/syrup is the best part of the drink, perfectly tart and just sweet enough. It even has chunks of strawberry in there that were really good. Make sure to grab the thicker straw if you get this drink so you can mash the chunks of berries down more.
Jasmine matcha tart had mochi and adzuki paste in it. Mochi was more like the milk mochi texture that you can get in some shops, so gooey-er and I thought it went well with the other textures. There was a decent amount of bean paste in there, which I really liked but for people who don't like beans at all, maybe skip because you could feel a bit of that texture. Tastewise, I noticed more jasmine matcha and cream than the adzuki. I hope this is a staple because I would plan to get this every time I visit in the future.“

“Classic bagel shop that makes delicious NY-style, boiled bagels and home made cream cheese.
It’s quite expensive. Plus, they charge $2 to slice bagels and will only do so if you call ahead to place your order. They don’t have any vegan/tofutti cream cheese for sale. Expect a line out the door if going in the morning.“

“Ordered a hot shaved pastrami with Swiss cheese on a lightly toasted with butter everything bagel. Sooo good!!! Made fresh. The girl working the counter was super patient as I figured out what I wanted. Will go back again. Framingham location.“

“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. 😢“

“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…!“

“Kupel’s is one, if not the best, bagel spots in Boston. Everything is fresh made the morning of, and they early open at 6am. Any left over bagels from the day prior are sold for a massive discount. The bagels are so perfectly fluffy, chewy, with a nice exterior.
The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. For example, every time I walk in early in the morning, Ruthy greets me with my usual order of coffee. That kind of service is rare in today’s world and just serves as an example of how friendly the culture is.
In summary, incredible bagel shop with incredible people. What else do you want? Highly highly recommend.“

“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.“
“A hidden neighborhood gem we discovered while visiting Boston this past weekend. Our hotel was situated in a bit of a no-man’s land that made it difficult to do our usual walking to find good coffee in the AM but I’m glad we persisted. I found the Black Sheep Market after a refusal for settling for DD coffee. This spot was a brisk 10 min walk from our hotel- we got there shortly after doors opened on Sunday and while coffee drew us in we quickly discovered their incredibly solid selection of store made donuts and baked goods. I am going to be dreaming about the Boston Creme donut I left with for some time. Nothing better on the planet when it comes to donuts than that one right there. My husband ordered a cinnamon and sugar donut which he exclaimed melted in his mouth, and for our son who had been studying French- a chocolate croissant- delectable! The coffee - the reason we went at all- was hot, fresh, and delicious. Also warmed our hands on the cold walk back to the hotel for a bonus! The shop itself offered a wide variety of other goods - which we didn’t need that particular morning, but I’d love to have just around the corner if I lived in this Cambridge area neighborhood.
Thanks for a great cup of coffee, excellent service and a most memorable donut!“

“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.“

“Went first thing in the morning, got exceptional service 😁 those guys know breakfast. The waffles are ABSOLUTELY amazing. But that's not all they have something for everyone. This place easily beats bruggers and a few other places in Massachusetts. Just go there and look at the menu. I promise you won't be disappointed 10/10 must try again“

“I've been here 1 million times and only had grapefruit. I get the Rachel I get everything. I love everything with sauerkraut. I love everything with cheese. I got four pieces of regular. I got a lime Ricky. It's the greatest. The staff always had a big smile always seats outside everything's fresh. I've taken home pumpernickel bagels. I come here with joy my heart.“

“Really tasty bagels and croissants. I especially like the caprese croissant sandwich. I've been on multiple occasions, and some staff are friendly, others less so. In the afternoon when it's slow, one employee had an AirPod in. There are a few high-chair seats but definitely more of a grab-and-go type of place.“

“Finagle A Bagel is a Boston breakfast institution that has been doing its thing for decades, and for a quick, no-fuss morning stop in Back Bay it fills that role reliably. The two-story space with outdoor seating gives it more breathing room than most spots in the area, and the upstairs seating is a good option when the weather is not cooperating and you want somewhere to sit and eat without rushing.
The bagels are the foundation and they hold up well as a vehicle for everything built on top of them, with the everything bagel being the standout in the lineup. The egg and cheese sandwiches are the move for a proper breakfast, with a generous amount of meat and a combination that comes together cleanly on a toasted bagel. The bacon, egg, and cheddar on a plain toasted bagel is a reliable build that covers all the bases without overcomplicating things.
Where expectations need calibrating is on the bagel itself. The texture leans softer than a specialty bagel shop, even when toasted, and the chew and crust that define a great bagel are not quite there. For a quick and affordable breakfast near Back Bay it works well, but it is a different experience than a dedicated bagel spot with freshly made dough.
Service is fast and efficient and the value is strong for the neighborhood. As a convenient morning stop before heading into the day, Finagle A Bagel delivers exactly what it promises.“

“If you are anywhere near Berklee College of Music and you have not stepped into Pavement Coffeehouse on Boylston Street you are missing out on one of the most magical spots in the entire city. This place is more than a coffee shop. It is a daily ritual for students and locals and artists and anyone who wants to feel taken care of from the moment they walk in the door. There is something about this specific Pavement location that feels warm and alive the second you enter. You hear the grinders humming and the staff laughing with customers and you instantly know you are in the right place.
The coffee is consistently incredible. Not sometimes good and sometimes okay. Always incredible. The espresso tastes like someone who actually cares pulled it. The drip coffee is rich and full and never bitter. The lattes are silky and made with the kind of intention that you normally only find in small independent shops. You can tell they take their beans seriously and you can taste that care in every sip. Even on the busiest mornings the drinks come out consistent which says everything about how strong and trained the team is.
Then there are the bagels which deserve their own chapter in a book. Fresh chewy hot and perfect every single time. You can smell them before you even order and you already know you made the right choice. The breakfast sandwiches are legendary among Berklee students who basically live off them. You get this perfect mix of warm bagel buttery egg melty cheese and whatever add ons you choose. It is the type of food that makes your entire morning feel right.
But the thing that really makes this Pavement the top tier Pavement the elite Pavement the Pavement you secretly measure all other Pavement locations against is the manager. The manager at this store is on another level. Every great review that mentions the staff being sweet patient fast and welcoming starts with the leadership at the top. This person clearly knows how to build a team that actually likes coming to work. You can feel that energy in the room. The manager is organized calm positive and knows every regular by face. They create an environment where the staff moves like a well coordinated band. You can see them supporting the baristas checking on orders solving problems before anyone else even notices and doing it all with total kindness. A lot of places have managers who hide in the back. This one is hands on always present and sets the tone for how good the store feels. Berklee kids write whole essays about how good the service is here and that does not happen without someone incredible running the show.
Even when it is packed which happens often because everyone wants to be here it still feels smooth. The line moves fast. Drinks are accurate. The staff stays friendly. You never feel rushed and you never feel ignored. That balance is rare and it is the clearest sign that the manager is the heartbeat of this location.
The atmosphere is perfect for everything. Studying. Journaling. Hanging out with friends. Waking up before a morning class. Taking a break after a long lecture. The mix of music and conversation and the slight chaos of student life makes it feel alive in a really comforting way. There are always Berklee students carrying instruments or running to rehearsals which adds to the whole vibe. It feels like a creative hub where good coffee and good people intersect.
If you want coffee that is always consistent food that always hits service that always feels warm and a team that clearly loves what they do this is the Pavement to go to. It is the crown jewel of the Berklee neighborhood and a place that genuinely brightens your day. I would recommend it to anyone in Boston without hesitation.“

“I’m super happy I found a place in Boston that has Taylor Ham. My sandwich was very good! I came in around 1pm on a Friday and there were many open seats inside, which was nice. It only took them a couple of minutes to make my sandwich. Fast service and great menu!“

“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...

“Ordered takeout from Bruegger’s Bagels and it actually hit the spot. The peppered bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel was delicious and the bagel was super fresh. Iced coffee was solid too. Everything traveled well and genuinely made my morning. A bit on the pricey side, but at least it was worth it.“
