    Great coffee to jumpstart the morning
    Rich Y.

    Was in the area on a Saturday morning and needed something to start my day. Looked on Yelp and found this gem. Tiny little place, maybe 5-6 tables at the most. Nice selection of bagels and cream cheeses. GREAT coffee to begin the morning. Staff was very nice and helpful! A solid spot in a great neighborhood.

    Perfect spot in Providence for a lox sandwich! Owners are so talkative and welcoming!

    Andrea R.

    This place is a hidden gem in Providence. Bagels are homemade and have great sandwich options, including veggie friendly. Service is steady but has a small staff. Hole in the wall ambiance, with great music. It's part of the best of RI.

    Sausage egg and cheese on a spinach bagel - delicious!
    Valerie N.

    Wow, these bagels are awesome! We had only the spinach bagel (sausage egg and cheese bagel sandwich), but this is the best bagel we have had in RI. It's a small spot and there is a bit of a wait, so I wouldn't recommend coming here when you're in a jam, but it's worth it if you can wait.

    Bagel Express is a Federal Hill classic. Get your fix of snickerdoodle coffee, an everything bagel sandwich, and the joy of listening to the old Italian men talking out front all in one convenient location. I highly recommend this joint for mornings when you feel like the main character. Sometimes there's this older woman at the counter who I have to repeat my order to like 7 times because she never writes it down, but if you're not in a rush it can be kind of charming in a way.

    everything bagel with lox spread

    a wise man once said, "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." well I'm definitely crying that this bagel is over because it was absolutely delicious. i got the everything bagel with lox spread and ate it outside while i wrote and enjoyed some people-watching and cool weather. i absolutely love that the everything bagel had seasoning all over instead of just on top, because it made the entire experience that much more flavorful and enjoyable. i couldn't believe how the sesame seeds got so much flavor just from getting contact with the pan like that! and imagine my absolute JOY when i realized that there were literal pieces of smoked salmon mixed in with the cream cheese.....gosh it was such a beautiful experience. i will be thinking about this bagel for years to come.

    Nice little shop on Broadway with solid food and a slight need for more employees For a full review on their everything bagel check out this video: https://youtu.be/qXC_FUgkSSw

    Coffee flavors are brewed and not flavor shots which is great! Though this also means not all flavors may be available. The bagels are huge, fluffy, and delicious - making for very filling sandwiches! Cooked just right! Prices are good! Seriously looks like a whole in the wall (we even drove past it once) - but so worth a visit!! PS - the dog treat is a slice of bacon

    Sausage [on one side], double [spongey] egg, and cheese?
    Matthew C.

    Bagel was ok. Eggs were spongey and fake-ish. Sausage on one side of the sandwich. Everything was mixed together as opposed to layered. Sausage, double egg, and cheese for $7+ .... pricey.

    This place is tucked away in an unassuming strip mall off East Avenue…read more When we walked in the "please be seated / wait to be seated" sign was blank so we just kinda stood around checking out all of the great items you can buy to take home. A nice lady greeted us and brought us to a table and gave us menus. We had grabbed canned sodas out of the cooler area, assuming that's how you do it? The pickles and slaw were rocking! My friend and I decided to split an order of potato latkes which come with apple sauce and Sour cream. I tried both ways and preferred the sour cream. I got the pastrami on rye and added ground mustard which was provided along with salt and pepper on each table I could only finish half. My dining mate got the turkey melt (toasted grilled) and loved it. I really want to go back and try the patty melt with Mavens relish. Get a macaroon! I literally ate mine in 2 sittings because it was so good and big!

    Come for the décor, stay because your food hasn't arrived yet…read moreAfter seeing WhatDidYouEatTodaySir hype up Marvin's Delicatessen, I figured it was worth the ride down from the Boston area. I love a good deli. Unfortunately, this wasn't just disappointing--it was borderline comical. Let's start with the good: the place looks fantastic. Clean, modern, really well done. If Yelp rated based on interior design alone, this place is pushing 5 stars. Now... the rest. First clue something was off--the dining room felt like a walk-in freezer. Not exaggerating: every single table had people eating in their coats. At some point you have to look around and think, "maybe we turn the heat up before someone orders a side of frostbite." Then came the wait. And the wait. And the wait. Close to an hour for deli sandwiches. During that time, I had a clear view of the kitchen, which turned into dinner and a show. Plates were coming back nonstop--wrong bread, wrong orders, total confusion. It was like watching a live-action blooper reel. Eventually, our food arrives... and of course, it's wrong. Back it goes. No big deal--mistakes happen. Round two: soup comes out with vegetables after my wife clearly explained she has an allergy. The waitress caught it (thankfully), and back it goes again. What finally came out can only be described as "chicken soup in spirit." It tasted like someone waved a bouillon cube over hot water and called it a day. No seasoning, no substance, and I'm pretty sure the "chicken" made a brief guest appearance and left. Her sandwich? Also wrong--and somehow included onions and mystery vegetables. So that was basically game over. I ordered the 50/50 (pastrami and corned beef). I say "ordered," but identifying what actually showed up was a bit of a guessing game. The meat was dry--painfully dry. The pastrami (I think?) had the texture of kindling wood and looked like it had been sliced by someone who just discovered what a knife is. Tough, stringy, and completely lacking that juicy, melt-in-your-mouth quality you expect from a deli. The waitress seemed nice enough but didn't really know the menu, and the kitchen was clearly in full chaos mode. One guy--who I assume was the owner or manager--was running around like a man trying to put out ten fires with a squirt gun. At some point, we just started laughing. Not because it was good--because it was so bad it crossed into "you can't make this up" territory. Maybe I'm spoiled coming from the North Shore, where delis take pride in their corned beef and pastrami. But if you're going to call yourself a delicatessen, you've got to at least get the basics right. This place has the look, but none of the execution. I wouldn't go back. I wouldn't recommend it. And next time I'll just stay north of the border where the sandwiches actually show up correctly--and edible.

The snow made street parking a bit tricky, but thankfully there are a few parking spaces in the back of the building. Once inside, the bakery was lively and smelled absolutely delicious. There was a great selection of fresh artisan breads to choose from. I ended up with the durum loaf, which was perfect since I planned to make an olive oil dipping sauce. The bread was exactly what I hoped for crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, airy with a mix of large and small holes, and full of flavor. I also couldn't resist picking up two Valentine heart sugar cookies with jam because they were just too cute. The only minor downside was that the employee who helped me wasn't very smiley. Not rude at all, and my order was handled quickly, but it felt a bit different from the warm cafe vibe you might expect. Prices are higher than if you went to a mom and pop bakery but this was expected. Overall, a great stop for quality bread.
