Bagels Restaurants near Waltham, MA

“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 😊😊“

“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“

“Holy moly. My stomach is yearning for these as we speak. The employees were super nice and joked around with us as we navigated the abnormal bagel shop layout. We got the salt bagels and the everything with scallion cream cheese and boy oh boy. Boy oh boy oh boy. Location in Austin Texas ASAP, please. Everything was fresh and delicious. Eat these, or live the rest of your life wishing you had.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

““ 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.“

“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. 😢“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“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!!“

“Had a bunch of bagels here this morning, they were all good. The staff was particularly nice; they showed how we could get five additional bagels for the same price I was about to pay. The only negative is they recently discontinued the bacon scallion cream cheese, which was a favorite of ours.“

“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…!“

“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.“

“The greatest place to start your day.“

“A Concord institution for decades. Great place for breakfast or lunch and best bread and pies around.“

“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!:)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“We drive a distance to this specific BB location (ipo a two minute walk from our home to a different BB) because we get such outstanding customer service and the freshest, yummiest bagel sandwiches and coffee from Deb and Stephen in this Auburndale MA location. These two work so hard and always with a smile and great efficiency. Thank you!“

“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!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Bruegger’s Bagels! The customer service was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful from the moment I walked in. The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect and made me feel like a valued customer.

The food was equally impressive. The bagels were fresh, delicious, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Everything tasted amazing, and you can tell they take pride in what they do.

It is rare to find a place that combines outstanding customer service with such consistently great products. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Bruegger’s Bagels to anyone looking for a great meal and a friendly experience!“

“Great location in Bedford, plenty of parking, clean, staff very friendly and helpful, it gets busy here! But the food is a step above Dunkins or McDs breakfasts, when I want a quality toasted bagel with egg sausage and cheese, it’s Brueggers, thanks all“

“Amazing bagels - jalapeño Cheddar, green chili, Hashbrown, Six cheese, Asiago... are really amazing...“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“
