Best Bagel Shop Cambridge Near Me

Petri Fish: Amazing sourdough bagels!!!!

Ella Rohr: Absolutely the best bagels in Boston-- if you're okay with a slight sourdough flavor. Very chewy.

Sophia W: Went at peak time (10:30) on a Sunday but still only waited in line for about 5 min (line was out the door but moved fast) and 15 for my bagel. I got a garlic and cheddar bagel (only sold on weekends) with veggie cream cheese, it was very delicious

William Roberts: Don't go when it's busy. Very good bagels, but paid $7 for extras on a sandwich, then got the wrong sandwich with all of the extras missing. Disappointing to say the least.

Dan Peluso: Best bagel in Cambridge. Well worth the wait, but if you come earlier in the morning you will be rewarded with a short wait time. Simple combos, a heavily fermented style bagel (hella chewy but believe me it goes hard) and some great spread options. Cold smoked on everything is one of the best breakfast options ever.

Erin Nelson: Super yummy bagels. Chicken salad was my favorite to get. Don't sleep on the sea salt bagels. Was very crowded.

Peter Kadden: If you are coming here you probably already have heard how good it is. But it really is that good. Easily the best bagel sandwich I've ever had.It's best to get here early if you can, as lines can form quickly. The staff are as wonderful as the food they serve, to boot.

Joe Dulock: Hungover on a sunday morning? Bagelsaurus has what you’re looking for. You’ll find a few other folks in line just like you too.Good stuff here.

Judith Jacobs: Best bagels!Update- I’m really please that they open early so I can get my dozen and 1/2! They freeze well and it’s convenient since I know how popular it is and their long lines at peak hours. I’ve tried other bagel shops but none compare. I prefer their light crispy bagel as opposed to those that resemble a loaf of bread.

Jeff Curtis: First visit to Bagelsaurus for a cold smoked salmon bagel. Delicious, the fresh dill adds a nice flavor with the capers and red onion. The bagel itself an everything was what I was hoping for. The crust was crisp and chewy while the inside was airy and light. Toasting the bagel brings out the flavors of the garlic and onion along with the poppy and sesame seeds. Can’t go wrong hear so make this a destination when in Cambridge, MA.

Tunc Oz: Literally the best bagel in town. I wish they closed later and didn’t run out of bagels all the time but whatevs.

Mary Clark: Coming from Connecticut I’ve had a hard time finding fresh bagels I like around Boston. Bagelsaurus js my new go to for a bagel whether I want one with cream cheese or a breakfast sandwich. I order ahead via toast and I recommend others do as well because the line gets long fast. Their bacon egg and cheese comes with a sort of Dijon butter spread and this combined with their superb bacon and other quality ingredients makes for a consistently savory and satisfying breakfast sandwich!

Yanet Corzo: Best bagels, coming from L.A was not disappointed.

David Reed: Best bagels in the world! No joke

Ron Hu: I ordered the smoked salmon bagel, it tasted great but the day of I got food poisoning. I am pretty sure it was the fish that gone bad because I ate nothing else up to the point I started puking. I still feel very ill, it was a horrible experience. Please eat at your own risk.

Jaehoon Lee: Edit (02/2023): i now live in downtown brooklyn. Have lived there for the past four years. Still haven’t found a bagel spot that does better than here.——2017:Yo it’s worth the wait. It’s always worth the wait. I always go here whenever I visit Boston. I also send all my asian friends & clients here. I call in and order all the way from Virginia so that they can experience the true Boston bagel experience. This place gives me bagel-gasms. I’m so glad that I get to work with bostonians, not because my coworkers are pleasant, but because I get to eat at this place every time I go to Boston.

Amy Nicole: Took me over an hour to get here on my birthday. I finally arrive and they’re completely sold out. If they had online ordering or any other modern means of getting a bagel, I would have known and it would have saved me the major inconvenience. Terrible experience and disappointment. Won’t be back

Jaye Aster Broder: Very good bagels with a nice chewy crumb. The bagels are larger than black sheep bagels but smaller than New York bagels. I tried the honey rosemary cream cheese on an everything bagel because prior reviews said that the honey rosemary cream cheese on a sweet bagel was too sweet. I still found the honey rosemary cream cheese too sweet but enjoyed trying it. The store layout could be improved by swapping the order and pickup line as well as moving the condiments to the other wall so that the line of people waiting to order bagels, which is very long, can be pushed against the wall and form a more natural circle to the tables. The salt bagel was well balanced.

Brian Martynowicz: One of the best bagel spots hand's down. Well worth a 20-minute drive. So good people were standing outside waiting in -20 degree weather.

Michael MacHarg: What an incredible bagel - and even better team. I’d start my morning here everyday.

Curt Raffi: Pavement is one of the better coffee locations in Harvard Square. There is upstairs seating as well as outside. If you're taking a tour of Harvard University, Pavement is located right where all the tours begin.I also like the fact that they do Cafe au lait really well. It sounds simple, but I've never had a great Cafe au lait at the chain stores.The food and sandwiches are also really fresh and well made. The staff has a great attitude and it makes all the difference.Wheelchair accessibility: If you've got someone with you in a wheelchair Pavement is also very accessible.

Nurefsan Sariipek: Worst croissants

Seán O'Dálaigh: Terrible service for overpriced, mediocre coffee. It's at the base of the stairs of the building too, so you feel like you're in people's way while you're waiting for your order.

Ariel Moshe: Delicious bagels and spreads. Great vegan options. But overpriced. And a lot of the people who work here are rude, cold, and never smile. It seems that they aren’t trained in hospitality and professionalism. I wish that they were more friendly towards customers (especially the regulars like me). It would make our experience so much better.

Craig Tateronis: Tasty sandwiches but pricey and excruciatingly slow. Avoid this place if you need to be anywhere in the next 20 minutes. There's a lot of people behind the counter but they just seem to kind of stand around and not do much. I thought that things would get better after they apparently unionized but if anything they've gotten slower.

Karolos Arapakis: Great place to sit outside and enjoy coffee!

Lauren Kageler: I had the worst ice coffee ever here. It was so disappointing. Also the bagels had very little cream cheese especially considering how much I paid for it.

Alex Jiang: Congrats on unionizing!! Great coffee

Elizabeth Ruckus: Love this store - staff is friendly, orders are accurate, and the food and drinks are great

Mauro Pivesso: Abbiamo preso 2 caffè espresso, buoni per questo tipo di locale. Il locale era pulito ed il personale ben organizzato ed efficiente.

Marija F: Nice place, but a lot of people. If you did not have enough time to wait for coffee, you should avoid those place.

Kris Hubby: Great coffee. Delicious light roast, low cost.

Alberto Antonio, O.P.: One of my favorite bagel spots when I went to Boston. Great place, love the lox!

CH3BZ: Don’t pay cash because they don’t train their cashiers to handle cash and food while following sanitary guidelines.To top it off she gave me incorrect change back. What the sandwich costed is what I got back. I paid with a $20 and was only handed about $7 bucks back. How is that possible for just one breakfast sandwich?

Mister Chickorsephant: My first 1-Star rating…… the coffee was horrible and the muffin I ordered had to be a couple days old, it was hard. After one sip and one bite I threw both of them away. On top of that the lady that took my order was not friendly. I proceeded to go to the Starbucks about a block away.

Ricky “Rickyjeepz”: Listen I try my hardest not to be the one leaving bad reviews but let me tell you to everyone reading if you want your order correct here please you have to walk in to make sure they get it right. I'm not gonna get into detail to not write a novel here but they now have messed up 4 in a row doordash orders with in a 3month period. They are nice and all are smiling but the language barrier I believe is what messes things up. I try to be patient but I've had it with this establishment. We called ahead to make sure they had French toast bagel and chocolate chip bagels. Said yes so ordered door dash. They sent us all wrong bagels and forgot breakfast sand and 3 sodas. So that is still whatever I called explained the mistake I even drove the 6 min drive to there to pick it up. They made the sand and I went home. Opened it up and you guessed it they put the sand on the wrong bagel. THIS IS AFTER I TOLD THEM TWICE WHILE THERE WAS EXACTLY THE SANDWICH WAS!!! I'm done with finagle bagel. The bagels are pretty good I won't lie about that but I can't get over the constant mistakes especially while I'm telling them in person multiple times and still messing it up. I just can't no more. They were lucky we even gave them 2 more chances after the first 2mess ups. Again I'm not the type to type these cause I'm sure they didn't do on purpose. I can get over a mistake I get it....it happens but not like this sorry

Kevin Costello: One of the worst bagels I've had, it was just a roll with seeds on it.

Michael Maniscalco: Never again! Over $8 for a bagel with sides of cream cheese and it's the amount of cream cheese isn't even enough. So I need to spend $10 for a bagel with enough cream cheese. Like I said, never again!

Erik Barth: Slow

SuperJKMan Youtube: Amazing local breakfast place

Kyle Lee: Decent spot. Pretty long wait time. Food was average

Joe: Usually a great bagel spot. Disappointed last time I went because they started making the whole wheat bagels very thin and small. They used to be big and hearty bagels but now they are thin like a piece of toast and not worth the price.Also please have a non-dairy almond or oat milk for the coffee!

Anthony Gigante: Great Super Cinnamon Bagels

Luise Eisfeld: Super cinnamon raisin bagel was amazing! Highly recommend

Ishwar Mahadeo: Probably my favorite bagels and bagel spreads. I've been a customer at location since 2002.

Joseph Ting: This rating is for a Too Good to Go order. Workers were friendly and efficient. They gathered my order very quickly and gave a huge number of bagels.

Jason Watson: The cake we got from there was excellent so was the service

Fenway Gourmet: Thier soup was absolutely delicious !!

Bit T: The restaurant is well located but there are many major problems. The complimentary milk for coffee has flies, MANY flies, all over the restaurant, there was a hair in my food and meat and avocado were not fresh, it even tasted bitter. Employees aren’t wearing a mask, even if they are cooking, they have no respect for covid restrictions, and the cashier is rude! It wouldn’t survive any sanitary inspection.

Suzanne Freitag: “We’re not making pizza bagels today”. That’s the only reason I stopped in.

Hardip Sidhu: The service was terrible. Bugs were flying around near our food and we were quite uncomfortable. My bagel was burnt. We wanted to order some food that were in the pictures as well but the menu wasn't flexible at all. The staff were very impolite. Shame because the other food was ok.

Delina Royal: The food is GREAT. However, the establishment requires their customers to wear masks but the people who are making the food always have their masks under their chins. Please make this make sense.
