First time here. I have to say that there is nothing special about this place. The bagels were just bagels. Nothing super. I had a breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage and cheese. The sandwich was tasty and fresh. I thought the price was right on point. A good value. Quick service and friendly staff. If you want a no frills good breakfast go here. read more

Fresh bagels and good coffee. What more could you want to start the day? Quick walk around the corner from Aloft hotel service was quick and friendly. Construction across the street may make it hard to find, but give it a try! read more

This place came highly recommended by co-workers, and I'm glad I tried it! I got a breakfast burrito and it was very tasty. The mild salsa was actually fairly spicy so I'm glad I opted for the mild :) It's recommended to use their app to order in advance because sometimes they get very busy. I will definitely be back! read more

No place to sit down. You have to stand up to eat it get it to go. Bagel was stale as well b

Solid bagel shop located behind the Brown Med campus downtown. My order was an egg & cheese on an everything bagel. The bagel was a bit flat and dry, the egg was okay. It was not a terrible bagel nor an outstanding one. Service was quick. This is very much a take-out shop, there are tables for seating but most folks appear to take their food to go. read more

Their bagels are fair but the real standout is their burritos. I had a chicken burrito with everything and their hot salsa. It was beyond amazing. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The vegetables crunchy and fresh. There is no better burritos in ri/ma (trust me... we constantly look) read more

Tried to come but door said new hours closed Saturday and Sunday. Please update website!

I mistakenly ended up here looking for Bagel Gormet Ole on Thayer. It was a mistake coming here. First a witnessed the man behind the counter 3/10/23 drop a bagel on the floor in front of me. Pick it up with his bare hands and throws it in the trash. Never washes his hands and went trait to finishing making someone's food. Second, the quality of the bagels were not there...my bagel was beyond hard (un toasted). I ordered a 1/2 dozen bagels so I could have some the next day. Less than 24 hrs later they were twice as hard. I paid $15+ for a half dozen bagels, one with cream cheese, and a juice. What a ripoff. Stay away from this place. read more

Really nice assortment of bagels. Even later in the day, a lot of bagels were available. Great selection of cream cheeses as well including some interesting flavors like sun dried tomato and jalapeño. Love the option to add avocado slices to your bagel for an extra $1.02. Staff friendly. Right in the Brown Medical School. Looks pretty nondescript from the street, but tastiness lurks inside! read more

I have been going to Bagel Gourmet for the breakfast burritos for years. The salsa is what sets them apart from anywhere else.

I was hosting an early morning work meeting on a Sunday morning (ugh, the worst) and needed to provide breakfast for my team. Instead of taking the easy way out and buying donuts and coffee for everyone, I thought it might be a nice treat to get everyone breakfast sandwiches but was having a difficult time finding a local place that was 1) open that early on a Sunday and 2) could have hot food prepared and ready early in the morning. A co-worker suggested this place and offered to pick everything up on his way in, so I called ahead and asked if they could accommodate preparing breakfast sandwiches for 20 people to be picked up promptly at 8:30 am and was told "absolutely" by the person on the other end of the phone. (Yay!!) Not only was the group thrilled by the lure of a hot breakfast and coffee - within minutes I had everyone's order and special requests. I went down to the cafe and provided the order to the person I had spoken with over the phone and to pay for everything ahead of time. Much to my delight, they had everything prepared on time, plus every single order was 100% correct and labeled for each individual team member. The team LOVED their breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos - everything we got was tasty and the price was really affordable! read more

Bagel Gourmet is probably the number one place for lunch between my coworkers and I. The food is consistently good. It's literally a five minute walk from our building which is a huge plus. It's pretty clean inside. The service is good but not exactly great. They seem to work fast but food doesn't come out very fast. I wonder what they are doing wrong. It's not always clear as to where you should stand when ordering and waiting for your food...but that's not very important. My biggest complaint is that the prices online are different from the actual prices at the café. I asked for an up-to-date take-out menu and the gentleman's response was that they don't have any and can't do anything about it because the person who created the menu doesn't work there anymore. Well, alrighty then. Just FYI, plan to pay more than what you calculate! Four stars in this case is pretty generous. I hope they make some improvements in the near future. Perhaps bring back delivery to nearby offices? That would be awesome especially for big orders! read more

I've only been here a few times but each time I visit, I really enjoy the food. They display all the bagels in wire baskets behind the counter so while you are waiting in line, you can't help but relish at the prospect of picking one that suit's your desire. In addition to delicious breakfast sandwiches and assorted bagels and cream cheese, Bagel Gourment offers an awesome assortment of lunch sandwiches that you won't find in most bagel shops. They have something for everyone - roast beef, pastrami, corned beef, turkey, tuna, veggie, and even a "create your own" option that can be put on a bagel, wrap, croissant or bread. Today I ordered the roast beef over a wheat bread. Every bite was yummy and the lunch sandwiches were STACKED with delicious layers of meat, veggies, and cheese. This is also one of the few shops that stocks spinach bagels (my all time favorite). Not to mention their Mexican specialties are equally delicious. read more

Love this place. I love both the breakfast bagel sandwiches and the breakfast burrito. All three locations are phenomenal. read more

Bagel Gourmet has the best bagels in the area. Bagel Gourmet Cafe on Richmond has a large seating area with a bar by the window. It's always bright and clean. There are a lot of options for bagels and cream cheese. They also have salads, burritos, wraps, pizzas, etc. The guys at the counter are really friendly and work quickly. It can be a bit pricey for food other than bagels. Great lunch spot. read more

Foods alright. The guy at the front counter is a dick doesn't want to help you out and always expects people to download and use the app to order. read more

Their food is good but customer service is meh. They are super strict about the "no substitutions" policy. A lot of their Mexican food is meat heavy and they will not substitute vegetables for the meat--you have to pay extra for the vegetables. It's ridiculous since I'm positive the meat costs more than vegetables, and makes it very clear they do not want to cater to vegetarians. read more

I spent the majority of my life the last two years in the building above Bagel Gourmet, or BG as my friends fondly call it. In fact, I was there before BG first opened. Oh man, I am so legit. In any case, because of my close proximity to BG, I eat there multiple times a week for breakfast, lunch, brunch, dinner, and linner. I have perfected the art of calling ahead downstairs to place my order, leaving a meeting half way through to use the bathroom, and return holding a paper bag with a large cylindrical object wrapped in foil. Fortunately for me, I am completely non-descript - Asian, near-sighted, and shy especially around females, so no one has ever noticed. I then proceed to unwrap the foil and eat my chicken burrito. To be fair, it's not a bad burrito. However, and this is a big however, there are majorly serious shortcomings that I will proceed to enumerate in this review. Firstly, I always end up getting red sauce, salsa roja in BG-speak. I DON'T LIKE RED SAUCE! I want green sauce, aka salsa greene. WHY DON'T YOU EVER ASK ME WHAT SAUCE I WANT INSTEAD OF ASSUMING I WANT RED SAUCE? RED SAUCE IS TOO SPICY FOR ME! I'm shy and don't want to have to ask for what I want. Secondly, the burrito is too soggy. I invariably drip burrito juice onto my lap about two-thirds of the way through. DEAR BG EMPLOYEES, PLEASE GO TO CHIPOTLE TO APPRENTICE THEIR WAY OF WRAPPING BURRITOS. THEIR BURRITOS DO NOT LEAK. The whole concept of fast food is negated when I need a plate to capture your burrito leakage. (What the heck is your burrito juice made up of anyway? These stains are unbelievable!) Oh, and speaking of bathrooms, my favorite part about BG is the bathroom. The male bathroom has both a urinal and a toilet in the same room. Yay! But actually, that's not my favorite part. My favorite part is that BG has the only bathroom in the entire building with paper towels. Why is that? The owners of the building decided to be "green" by eschewing paper products and instead installing louds machines that blow lukewarm air onto your hands. Sometimes I get greedy and use one machine for each hand, but I digress. BG, I sincerely thank you for understanding that trees are a renewable resource. - Stanford T. read more

This little hidden gem properly is the best place in Providence to grab a good breakfast sandwich. Fast fresh and priced accordingly. I also went for lunch and got some awesome real Mexican tacos. Love this place read more

Since moving to the area, I have been trying to find a place that offers some good bagels with some type of variety. I want choices of bagel types and cream cheese flavors, well I found the place! Was happy to find that parking was easy, short walk over to the corner building. They have so many bagel choices and about 7 different types of cream cheese flavors. I opted for the Sunflower seed bagel and the guy working was super nice, offered me so many different options. Got the spicy chipotle cream cheese, how cool!! The only thing is there was a sign $5 minimum purchase on credit cards. well I rarely have cash in this day in age so I needed to buy something else. There are a ton of lunch choices so I got the Greek salad to go. The employee asked me if I wanted tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, or grilled chicken for an additional cost to put on top. I wasn't interested but thought it was great that he offered it, I would have never even thought of it. The bagel was really good and the salad was super fresh. Overall, great stop when I need a good bagel fix and I would definately grab another salad in the future. I would like to try their burritos too so if you head there for lunch you shouldn't be disappointed by the numerous options. Also, there was a lot of seating inside so if you aren't in a rush you will find a spot to chill. read more

There was no one there when we arrived except for the one guy working there who was watching you tube videos on his phone at full volume. So it was pretty weird to begin with. I ordered an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese to go. When I got home, I discovered that there was barely any cream cheese on it. The bagel itself was really good, actually did taste like a NYC bagel so that's the reason for 2 stars. The service, ambience, and lack of cream cheese on my bagel were a disappointment. read more

This is the best bagel/breakfast place I've been to in Rhode Island! The portions are huge and the price is low! What more can you ask for? Delicious breakfast? CHECK! Everything is so delicious and there are so many options! I wish I could go everyday! The atmosphere is also great! Clean, modern and plenty of space. Great spot! read more

You know what I hate in a dining establishment? Inconsistency. And inconsistency is the name of the game at bagel gourmet. One day I order nachos: they're amazing. A few days later: they suck. One day I order veggie tacos: they're amazing - light, loaded with fresh tomatoes and cilantro. Today I order them: I get pinto beans and rice overfilling a single corn tortilla with little to no tomatoes, cilantro, or flavor. Attention: a single corn tortilla will not hold a half pound of beans. The inconsistency comes, of course, from whomever is cooking. The guy who runs the counter during the day and cooks at night (and produces the amazing taco/nacho creations) needs to pow wow with the fill in guys and let them know what's up. Until then, I'll be spending my mula elsewhere. read more

I am usually a fan of Bagel Gourmet (at their Fox Point location) for their bagels. The egg or breakfast sandwiches are full to the brim with toppings and are always so fresh and hot. You can also ask for substitutions of toppings or meat. They even make Whole Wheat Everything bagels! However, on a recent trip, I decided to give this particular location a try. I ordered 2 specialty wraps: a marinated, grilled chicken wrap (with roasted red peppers, tomato, and greens) and a Chef's Salad wrap (cheddar, swiss, turkey, ham, eggs, spring greens). Both were terribly soggy after about 10 minutes as I took these to go. My Chef's Salad wrap completely fell apart when I opened it, so there was no attention given to wrapping it properly to prevent a mess. I also found the home-made Chef's Salad dressing to be quite salty. My husband could not finish his grilled chicken wrap because it was also falling apart and the chicken was terribly dry and charred. He complained of a horrible aftertaste as if the grills used at this Bagel Gourmet were not cleaned properly. To add insult to injury, the Chef's Salad wrap amounted to almost $9, while the chicken wrap was over $9. These prices for deli wraps are plain outrageous, and the wraps were not even good or properly made. They're not very large either. I'd recommend another eatery like Saki's to purchase your delicious, jumbo wraps. Meter parking during the weekday may be tough here as well, so weekends are your best bet. Just stick to the bagels with this place, or visit the sister location near Fox Point. read more

For my company, I have been in charge of organizing over 10 luncheon events at Bagel Gourmet,because we have a big meeting at Brown Medical School. I have worked with the manager for each of these luncheons to go over the menu. He has never been anything but accommodating and helpful, and made it so easy to work with him. The only problem was the language barrier, which for the most part was not a problem (Except for when deciphering between what vegan and vegetarian was. At the first meeting, the vegan burrito had ground beef in it!). When selecting items for our menu, he told me what was most popular, and what was not in terms of luncheons. For our luncheons, we would get drinks, house salads, chips, burritos, fallefuls and deli meat sandwiches for about 30 people, each with about 3 or 4 different types. Every one always raved about how delicious the food was (especially the burritos and fallefuls), and how much they looked forward to these luncheons. I would normally get a bagel and it was so good. All of the food was amazing, and specifically the presentation of the food (little garnishes and minor decorative details that really made it quite authentic). I would never expect for "Bagel gourmet" to have such exquisite attention to detail, nor good mexican food! There is always a line out the door because so many people are there. I will definitely go back for lunch breaks after the luncheons end. read more

Great bagel place in Providence. They are definitely generous with their bagel spreads and cream cheeses here. Which will keep me coming back here. Favorites here is lox spread on an everything or salt bagel. The also serve breakfast burritos here. Made to order and always fresh. It's very clean inside and the huge glass windows makes for great natural lighting. Definitely a worthy must go place for a grab and go breakfast kind of morning. read more

My go-to spot for burritos and bagels. They have really good chicken burritos with homemade salsa. I get the small and it's HUGE! It's filled with grilled chicken, beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, and cheese and it is worth every penny of the $7.06 it costs. I always ask for extra salsa as well. Their bagels are true NYC-style kettle-boiled with no preservatives. They're chewy and really good. They get a fresh delivery from their Brook St. location (where all the bagels are made) every morning at 6:40 AM. Try it with cream cheese, or get it as a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. You can phone ahead and they'll have your order ready when you arrive. read more

Pros: cleanliness, spacious, menu on plasma TVs, friendly people, clean toilet Cons: location (unless you are a Brown medical student or work in the Jewelry district) Recommend: steak burrito, chicken nachos, chicken quesidilla Do not recommend: nothing Bottom Line: green sauce read more

The bagels here are delicious and decently priced. They also make a great coffee. I usually have a seasame bagel with jalapeno cream cheese and a hot coffee with soy. Fantastic. They also have baked goodies like muffins and cookies...I don't think they are made there, but I would love to know who the hero is behind the pistachio muffin! I've seen (and eaten, duh!) this muffin in several places! Must. Have. Pistachio. Muffin. read more

I have been a consistent costumer here for about 7 yrs with their multiple locations. This is the best quick and cheap breakfast stop with great food! Prices are very responsible and my top place to go if I forget my lunch or don't feel like making breakfast. My favorites are the steak breakfast burrito, sausage/egg/cheese, and anything on a bagel. Service is fast and the people that work there are always very nice. read more

This is such an odd place: Mexican and Bagels. The fact it lives in the Brown Med school makes it odder still. Not much point in me reviewing it since I'm sure all the students have much more experience with it than I do, and the price/convenience tradeoff is fair. But I do want to say the Salsa Verde, which goes by the code name "spicy sauce," is insanely delicious. Even with a small burrito I finish the whole tub well before the burrito. read more

Their nachos sounded amazing and i wish i got those instead of a bagel sandwich. Honestly I would never recommend this place for a bagel sandwich. First, they roared my bagel (I dislike toasted bagels), it was so hard that I cut the rough of my mouth on it! Then, I specifically asked for no tomatoes and that I wanted onions. They put tomatoes on and forgot onions! (he even confirmed with me what I wanted and they still messed it up). Oh, and their bagels are pretty small :/ Maybe i'll go again, but not for bagels! there are much better places. read more

First of all - really good food place, and always give you extra meat. Second is the place is really clean and with a good atmosphere. Third is a situation that I gave him 20$ and when he gave me the change I told him to leave it on the counter - he thought I wanna give him all the change for tip and then he told me "it's a lot of money". Basically he didn't wanna take a big tip to him which is very kind of him . read more

Soooo, I went there thinking it was a bagel place but I was deceived. The have a variety of dishes (salads, burritos, breakfast, etc), in my opinion, the bagels were the least important. My favorite is the Mexican dish. I always get mine with steak. Go check them out but beware, parking is not easy over there. read more

I'm a fan of Bagel Gourmet on Brook Street, and this location is basically a newer, cleaner, less crowded version of that, which makes me happy, especially on a Saturday morning when I wake up slightly hungover and desperately need a coffee and a bagel to revive me. I usually stick to a pretty basic bagel (blueberry, everything) with peanut butter or chive cream cheese (respectively). They really go overboard with the toppings, even when I request a 'light' amount of spread, so I end up wiping about half of whatever I order off, which is my biggest complaint since it seems wasteful. However, I can really appreciate the little things, like the time they take to melt the sugar for the iced coffees and wrap leftovers to go if you need that. I sincerely hope they get a ton of business during the week, because whenever I've been here on the weekend, there's no one else around (I am an early riser, though). My other half is a fan of the lox cream cheese spread, egg sandwiches, and even the breakfast burrito from time to time. They prep all of the eggs and bagel sandwiches to order, which makes them hot, fresh, and worth waiting for. Street parking is your best bet. Meters are free on Sundays. read more

So far this is the most authentic bagel I've had. As they said, they do boil it and give it a crusty outside and chewy inside. The size is really good to me too, unlike those New York xxxls... Great service and sense of privacy in seats. I brought my own mug for coffee read more

Over priced and mediocre. If they better moderated how much cream cheese they use, they could drop prices.

I come here all the time and I'm never disappointed. I only ever get a bacon, egg, and cheese but they're so good I don't care to try anything else. Also love their iced coffee. If it was closer to the city it would be packed around the clock. As it's a little secluded however, there is never much of a line. Goes without saying the bagels are delicious as well. read more

After reading all the positive reviews, I was hopeful that the food was going to be good. Sadly, I was sorely disappointed. Both the focaccia and corned beef tasted like they came straight from... a low grade supermarket deli. The focaccia barely had any herbs or seasoning and had a spongy, dull, boring crumb. The sandwich meat was the quality of compressed, mass produced, commercially produced, pre-sliced, vacuum packaged deli meat. No thank you... The lettuce and tomato were fresh, the fries were good, and the decor is slick and clean looking. But for $8, I did expect a lot better sandwich than that... I have had their bagels and muffins before, and they to are good. But for lunch? I think not. read more
