The only place where I can get a delicious bagel with lox, raw onion, and cream cheese. The jalapeño cheddar bagels are to die for. Caper diem coffee, self serve, is excellent and always fresh. read more

Amazing breakfast sandwiches and strong coffee. Highly suggest, if you're in the area.

Thrilled to stumble into Ani's Bagel Cafe! This cozy cottage is more than your average bagel shop. The sandwiches were carefully crafted and absolutely delicious! We had the Lox on a Bagel and Ani's Chicken sandwich, to go. Serious gourmet goodness! Fresh dill on the lox and the crisp lettuce with the perfect chicken salad... it's the little details. The menu may not be huge, but I'd be confident even just after my first trip that no matter what you order you won't be disappointed. Yum! I can't wait to go back for breakfast. read more

Best bagels around. Great variety to choose from. Quick and friendly service. Coffee is good as well. Definitely worth a visit.

I just moved to the area and my sister had been raving about the bagels at Ani's. I had my doubts but was am so happy to say that are delicious! My favorite bagels are a little but crispy on the outside and soft (but not bready) in the middle. These are just like that. They had probably 12 types of bagels and 8-10 cream cheese flavors. I got black olive cream cheese on a toasted plan read more

Every time I come here, I'm reminded why I don't come here. I waited 10 minutes after placing my order to get a dozen bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese. The lady who manages the place acts like you're wasting her time by trying to order food there. I give the place one extra star because the bagels are very good, but they're just not worth the hassle and the disrespectful way they treat their customers. read more

All I can say is that it's a good thing the food is so good because the service is absolutely atrocious every single time I go in. They are very nice young ladies but they do not pay attention. I ordered a chicken salad on a plain bagel and specifically said put nothing else... No lettuce no tomatoes no other toppings - just chicken salad. There was not another person in the place before I got there nor when I left. Not only did it take 10 minutes to put chicken salad on a bagel (with four people working) but when I went to eat it, guess what was there? Lettuce! Other toppings! I was the only customer! How did it all go so very wrong? That's said... I'm pretty stubborn so that's why I keep coming back. The food is good. It is my hope that the owner will someday see these reviews and actually show 18-year-old women how to make a sandwich in five minutes or less. read more

Delicious fresh baked bagels and the best bacon, egg & cheese sandwich I have ever had! Sure, it gets busy and the shop is small, but it's worth it. read more

Great fresh bagels and great coffee, also always great customer service! This is a great little café for bagels in the morning or sandwiches in the afternoon. Their bagels are very fresh and have a great variety! The sandwiches that they make using the bagel as bread are out of this world! Great little spot! read more

Really great bagels that I can't get anywhere else locally; otherwise I wouldn't go. The customer service is always horrible. I might get better service from the all-female staff if I were a guy since the male customers often get quite a bit of attention. read more

The most unfriendly coffee house I've ever visited. They make you feel like you're bothering them!

I loved Ani's bagels when I was introduced to them a couple years ago, but hadn't been back in a while. We decided to swing through this morning to see if they were still as good as they used to be-- and we were not disappointed! They are still sooo good! We ordered a couple of the "everything" variety, a couple onion, a cinnamon French toast flavor and my former favorite- jalapeño cheddar. We also purchased a small tub of their homemade cream cheese (which is amazingly good, by the way!)... The jalapeño cheddar is delicious; with the small bits of jalapeño in each bite, it has just the right amount of heat. Everyone else loved their selections as well. They have a cute location, situated in next to Churchhill's Garden Center- although they have a few tables and chairs inside, I would definitely recommend getting them "to go" if you're buying for a group... We ordered ours to take home-- and the insides were still warm despite a 20 min drive home. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a fresh bagel in the Seacoast area! read more

Ani's Bagel Cafe - A freshly made "everything" bagel from Ani's. - Bagels Near Me - Exeter, New Hampshire

Once again, the same old story. It takes 30 seconds to get a dozen bagels and then another 10 minutes waiting for someone to scoop 8oz of cream cheese. Horrendous ordering process. Plus, I don't think the bagels are made on site. I believe they arrive frozen from a wholesaler. Customer service is the face of a business. Not so good here. read more

I was so disappointed based upon the rave reviews I read. If you want a grocery store caliber bagel, go here. They arrive par baked in a box and are reheated in their ovens! Definitely not a NYC authentic bagel. The jalapeno cream cheese wasn't even hot, they must blanch them before using. Their Everything bagel was blah. I won't go back here. Still searching for a great bagel here in NH. read more

Good bagels, bacon egg and cheese sandwich is A+, when ani is not there, staff is underwhelming. Ordered iced coffee, waited 10 minutes before asking if anyone was working on my ice coffee. 3 girls dancing around in the back, no one seemed to have a clue. I was inconveniencing them to make my ice coffee? read more

I knew we had made a mistake the moment we walked in, but hey, you have to try something to know if it really sucks, right? A miniature version of Me&Ollie's. It has all if the same appeal; grungy, fly infested, slow, overpriced, and gross. We ordered two bagels toasted with cream cheese on the side. The bagels were cut lopsided for $6. If you just bought the bagels without them toasting it they were only $1.34 a piece. I don't understand why people enjoy this place. If you like overpriced garbage then(a blueberry salad is almost $10), by all means, this is the place for you. read more

We love going to Ani's for coffee and breakfast - I can only comment on the coffee as I can't eat wheat, but the coffee is excellent. Friendly, happy place, great location, lots to like. read more

French toast bagel and house made apple cinnamon cream cheese....amazing!!! And Carpe Diem coffee....can't beat it! Everything is good here! read more

One of the better bagels in the seacoast area, not a typical made elsewhere sold here bagel like in most shops, super fresh more handmade style with a very good heavy cream cheese, quick service but I must agree with Madeline's review workers are not people persons and that's not good for business read more

Really really good...jalapeño cheddar bagel fresh from the oven with chive bacon cream cheese. Latte was perfect. I am not easy to win over for $7, but this was worth it. Better than Newburyport or Portsmouth cafes, and actually cheaper. Yayy! read more

Smelled absolutely lovely when I walked in just before noon! I was immediately greeted and let know about fresh cookies just out of the oven. They continually checked on me while I ogled the menu hungrily. I ordered the Churchill's turkey sub cheddar, sub sourdough & it came lightly toasted. Mixed greens & tomatoes on the sandwich were hearty & very flavorful as well as the pesto! Sandwich was ready quickly and I had a medium coffee as well..$11 total which I think is very reasonable. Very cute spot! read more

If you haven't been here before you are missing out. Ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and it was delicious. Bacon was cooked perfectly and the bagel was unbelievable. Place is very clean including the bathroom. It's not easy to find a place to eat that is clean, has great food, and has great employees that care. I would highly recommend Ani's Bagels. You will not be disappointed. read more

Quickly becoming my go to bagel spot! Bagels are delicious, spreads very tasty and generous in portion size. Iced coffee good - loving the coconut roasted flavor (get the large - medium pretty small). Customer Service getting better with each experience. read more

Don't go out of your way for this place... Bagels are hit or miss. The 6 grain bagel with bacon/egg/cheese was terrible. Microwaved egg, with barely melted cheese was gas station quality. Other times I have had the chicken salad on a cheddar jalapeno and it was really good; fresh chicken salad and a fresh bagel. I guess it depends on who is working or luck of the draw read more

Best bagels around! They bake them in small batches so it's likely you will have a warm bagel. The cream cheeses are delicious, the egg sandwich are a family favorite and the coffee is always fresh and hot. Ani and her team do a great job! read more

I would say it was okay overall. The bagel was really tasty, but I was disappointed that the eggs and bacon were microwaved. It lacked in flavor because of it. I was really hoping that there would be a great bagel place in the area, but I guess I'll keep looking read more

If you want a homemade Bagel Ani's is where you need to be . They are light and fluffy not heavy. They are also covered in whatever flavor you chose on Both side not just on top. There cream cheeses are also homemade and delicious. If they are sold out of your favorite bagel you can ask them to make you one fresh and they will . So not worries bagel loves . read more

First time at Ani's and I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it! The service was quick and easy. Got in and out within 10 minutes. The breakfast sandwiches are good, but the real star was the cinnamon butter! I mean anything with butter is amazing, right? I would definitely recommend Ani's to anyone. 10/10 read more

Excellent bagels! The closest to a New York bagel you can find in NH! They are fresh baked daily here and the bagel sandwiches are great, too! The breakfast bagels are terrific! read more

Wonderful authentic New York bagels. Great coffee drinks and not expensive. Nice clientele and speedy service. Great breakfast spot near downtown Exeter! read more

Ani's has spoiled me and now other bagels just don't measure up! These are the only bagels I've had in seacoast NH/ME area that can rival NY bagels. They serve Carpe Diem brand coffee and it's always fresh. The focaccia bagels and the homemade veggie cream cheese are delicious. I don't know why others are bashing the service in previous reviews - I'm in almost every weekend and the service is always friendly and prompt. Yes, it can get busy and there can be a line sometimes but that's because it's THAT GOOD! read more

I love going here I've been here three or four times and they have great bagels and breakfast sandwiches I would recommend going here it's the best food in town and all the people r soo nice and blessed read more

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Extremely friendly staff, great bagels, and cozy atmosphere.

Cute place with good food and drinks. Customer service was horrible not sure if one of them was the owner or not but both ladies that were there lack people skills. Really turned off by the interactions with them so no need to return. read more

I've been here a couple of times. The owner is such a little witch! Never acknowledges her customers. Acts like they annoy her. She needs to remember without us she'd be out of business. Show a little appreciation!!!! Make them feel welcomed! You'd think that was common sense! read more

pretty good service, they were pretty popular, so they only had about three bagel selections. i really like the atmosphere though, i got egg and cheese sesame bagel, and hot chocolate. the hot chocolate needed a mix and it was pretty milky, but i think it was just a new girl who needed some experience on her belt. overall, i really liked it and commend the workers for dealing with rude costumers with pride, and for the busy and crowded place with grace. thank you, have a nice day! read more

Great bagels.....but every time we stop by.....12+ times since they opened.....the bins are always empty. Need to have more inventory ready especially in the morning! Frustrating! Losing sales and not meeting customers expectations. Employees are good. read more

Bagels here are fantastic - lots of options. They also have salads and sandwiches which I haven't tried yet. Perfect breakfast spot! Staff is really nice and orders come up quickly. read more

Awesome bagels, love the focaccia and cheddar jalapeño. Try the bacon and chive cream cheese, it's not with bacon bits, but real pieces of bacon. Olive cream cheese is delicious too. NY Lox bagel is amazing! read more

Food is good - if they ever get your order correct - if they got it at all. I have returned several times - hoping it was just a 'bad day', but to my amazement they do not get the order correct. On my last visit I took note of several other customers receiving incorrect orders. Sadly when it's brought to their attention, there's not even an apology. The high prices aren't worth the terrible service. read more
