I think this is the best bagel shop in Providence. They have 3 locations. Ole is the one I visit the most.....very friendly staff. If you added mimosas on the weekend menu that would make it perfect.... Definitely the best turkey/bacon/cheese sandwich on an everything bagel....might replace my normal bagel and cream cheese.... read more

Bagel Gourmet Ole - Sausage egg and cheese on an onion bagel. - Bakeries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Barn favorite bagel place in Providence. We get an egg cheese and sausage. Their bagels are so good. They're not too expensive and everyone that works. There is so nice. Downside is that they don't have tables on the inside. Which is always a tragedy. But we tend to grab a bagel and then go to Prospect Park and sit and eat outside. They have a lot of drink options also. We come in all the time. read more

i appreciate the new york bagel being on thayer street and yesterday when i was in need of a very solid, protein-filled breakfast after my morning work-out, i was craving bagel gourmet. i got a whole wheat everything with egg, swiss, and steak (listed as beef on the menu). i really appreciate steak as an option because that's what i get in nyc too. they have a lot of cheese options and schmear options and make a lot of different bagels. i went around 9am and you could tell the bagel was fresh. price is also new york though which means i can't make this a regular thing. my bagel was $10.55 after tax before tip. very swift and helpful service. and smells delicious. love the cute menu design though it does take a little longer to read everything, but has that local bakery feel to it. read more

Bagel Gourmet Ole - whole wheat Bagel w/Egg, Cheese & Meat - Bakeries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Great breakfast bagel sandwich. I mean there's just not much more to say other than it's just really one of the better ones I've had. The egg is never overcooked, the sausage is perfect and the bagels always taste great. I've tried multiple bagel places in Providence and this one has my favorite. The cons: no real tables to eat at and parking can be a challenge. So we call ahead to pick it up to go and one person jumps out to grab it. Just an FYI. I definitely recommend! read more

Bagel Gourmet Ole - Bagel w/Egg , Cheese & Sausage - Bakeries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Quick service, friendly smiles. I got an egg, cheese and avocado on an onion bagel. A great way to grab a bite to go.

Best breakfast sandwich of all time. Bacon, egg and cheese done right. We visit this place everytime we come back to Providence. Great family owned spot. Also some of the best veggie burritos. Wish they had another shop in DC - we need better food options down here! read more

My husband and I love this place! It's within walking distance of our house and has become a "go-to" for breakfast on the go. They are always consistent and I've never had anything bad there. Also, the people who work there are so kind! Definitely recommend! read more

Having gone to school on College Hill, stopping by Thayer Street is always a nice treat. I stopped by Bagel Gourmet on a busy weekend (when many pre college students were arriving to Brown and RISD), but the workers at Bagel Gourmet were kind and courteous as always. I got two bagels (~$15) for me and my sister. They were toasted and very yummy. My sister said that the cream cheese on her bagel was a little too salty but it paired well with the drink she got at Starbucks. I had a plain bagel with egg and bacon (no cheese) and it was just what I was hoping for. Quite filling and very savory. read more

Service is kind and friendly, they have fun puzzles on the side where you wait, the bagels tastes good, and I forgot my sweater there for a whole week and I returned and they still had it waiting for me under their work tables protected, I didn't even call about it, they kept it out of the kindness of their hearts! read more

It was actually my first time coming here in about 10 to 15 years. The staff was busy. The gentleman at the counter came over and asked me for my order. My order was very simple, everything bagel grilled with cream cheese on the side. Waited 10 minutes, got my order. I open the bag and its a toasted bagel with a slap of cream cheese on the bagel . I mean it was a simple order but I get it. It happens. Will I go back? Prob in another 10yrs. read more

Bagel Gourmet Ole - "Grilled bagel w CC on the side" - Bakeries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

The breakfast burrito with steak is the BEST. After graduating from brown, I still go back to providence and make sure to stop here

Quick service. Overall bagel was okay. Not much flavor and the lox should have been more evenly spread on the bagel and not just on one side. read more

Bagel Gourmet Ole - Onion bagel and Lox & Plain Cream Cheesecake tomatoes and cucumber - Bakeries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Staple for brown students and locals alike. Quality bagels + just opened new location so have two like 500 ft from eachother. Unsure why but both still are very popular. No seating in either but plenty of places nearby to sit and eat. My favorite order is egg cheese and scallion cream cheese, sausage is fire as well. read more

Delicious and fresh bagels! Very affordable for plain bagels but expensive with lox or other toppings. Not really any seating but could for take out. read more

Wanted to grab a quick breakfast early somewhere on Thayer Street, and Bagel Gourmet Ole was open: yay! We each went for something pretty simple: bagels with variants of cream cheese. Nice and doughy and fresh, with plenty of cream cheese (these guys don't skimp!) - great place for early or anytime snacking! read more

If you're looking for a great way to start your day, look no further than Bagel Gourmet Olé! For starters, Bagel Gourmet Ole (BGO) has one of the greatest selections of bagels and cream cheeses I've ever seen. Their bagels are large, soft, and absolutely so flavorful! My personal favorites are their Spinach and Sesame Bagels, but I still have more to try! (There's ~13 flavors total.) And their cream cheese? A colorful veggie, a sharp jalapeño, a PERFECT plain, and many, many, MANY more! There's about 11 cream cheese options, so multiplying that by the 13 bagel options means there's more than 120 different possible bagel/cream cheese combinations! And if you're not a bagel and cream cheese person? Great news! There's plenty of options for breakfast sandwiches, burritos, tacos and more! The best part - every single thing on their menu is absolutely delicious! I promise there is something for everyone (and everything is fairly priced)! One last piece of this review that I absolutely cannot forget - the staff! The people who work at BGO are some of the friendliest people I've ever met! They are extremely welcoming and always have a smile on their face. They're so quick with putting together your order and rarely make a mistake. (The one time they've ever messed up my order they ended up realizing their mistake before even handing it out to me!) All in all, whether you're visiting Providence or have lived here for years, Bagel Gourmet Ole is a MUST-STOP. I could not recommend BGO more and hope you enjoy it as much as I do! read more

Being a creature of habit, I always order the same breakfast sandwich when I come here: a toasted everything bagel with sausage and melted provolone. The devastating part is that sometimes they run out of many bagel types, so I have to settle for something like sesame or plain. Since I always use Snackpass to order my food, it's always ready by the time I get there, so I wouldn't know anything about the customer service or the line. It feels great to quickly walk past the line and pick up my sandwich. This place makes me feel good because I rarely have breakfast (yes I am chaotic), so it's always nice to have the opportunity to eat a nice meal in the morning from here. read more

Good spot for a breakfast on the go! Made fresh every time! Menu is simple, something for everyone! The front counter is very friendly. Only down side. I've order a custom burrito, cooks tend to forget ingredients. Still a good spot if hungry and on an time crunch! read more

A small and can be hard to find restaurant on Thayer Street but worth it. I like bagels and morning to my office sometimes aren't complete without stopping here. If I'm very hungry in the mornings I suggest trying one of their breakfast sandwiches, they're delicious, made fresh in front of you and not very expensive. Coffee is pretty good and wait times aren't very long. Parking can be a hassle considering it's on Thayer Street, but I live not very far away so I usually walk it. read more

BGO should stand for bagel(juice) goes off because I've never tasted bagel juice as fresh as theirs! Neeeeeed seconds

Absolutely OBSESSED with the bagel juice! I'm from out of town and didn't think I could find bagel juice out here but boy was I excited to learn this place gets fresh squeezed bagel juice straight from the utter every morning! 10/10 recommend. read more

Stop here for coffee and breakfast burritos every time I am in town for a swim meet at Brown. Clean, courteous, efficient and OMG breakfast BURRITOS! Nice friendly family feel to the place. read more

First and foremost, Can someone say delicious! I ordered a tuna salad on a bun. I wanted an actual salad with tuna on top. Clearly there was a miscommunication because I only had two pieces of lettuce but none the less it was super yummy! I will come again. read more

Super yummy bagels! It's a small place but they have a ton of variety in bagels, toppings, sauces and more. There are no tables but a little space on a tall/bar table. They also offer the option to order ahead on various apps and come pick up your order. There a shops nearby the bagel shop and it's a short walk from brown. read more

Checking in all the way from LA to confirm that these are some of the best BREAKFAST BURRITOS I've had!!! A breakfast burrito here might run you up about $6-8, depending on whether you get a small or a large burrito and whether you add some meat in. As much as I love bacon, I forego meat on these b/c the beans, cheese, and vegetables are already v flavorful and filling. Some places will serve you a sort of egg scramble bundled in a tortilla. Other places will serve you a sort of rice-potato-meat stir fry bundled in a tortilla. Blasphemy. This place will serve you a burrito with immaculate concentric layers you see as soon as you bite in-- egg, then bean, then cheese, then meat, then tomato, cilantro, onion and green bell pepper in the center, encased by one of the most perfect tortillas Providence has to offer. Salsa on the side too. The handiwork of it all. I've tried many times to recreate their method, to no avail. read more

The place sells bagels, sandwiches and oddly quesadillas. It's a small shop with a lot of competition. I'll need to update this review with another visit, but we did buy a half dozen bagels. They seemed a little old and stale. Thanks read more

For months after arriving in Providence, I bounced back and forth between Baja's and Chipotle trying to find a burrito that would measure up to the beloved Anna's Taqueria. (It may not be "authentic," but it's all I've ever known...) Little did I know that the answer was under my nose the entire time: BGO! Although the combo of Mexican food and breakfast may seem a little strange, everything on the menu is fast and comforting. At around $6 without meat and $7 with meat, the breakfast burritos are chock full of scrambled eggs, black beans, and pico de gallo--and all the Mexican dishes come with a little container of smoky homemade salsa. The bagels can be a little bready sometimes, but they're usually satisfyingly chewy and covered with the perfect amount of toppings and cream cheese. And the breakfast sandwiches are a dream on a rainy morning! You can choose the type of cheese you want, but the gooey processed cheese really completes the experience. read more

Went there for the first time, tried the breakfast burrito with turkey and pickles added and it was absolutely delicious. Also having a snicker doodle coffee which is also great.

Bagel Gourmet Ole - a burrito and a sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Half bagel place, half Mexican joint - an interesting and surprisingly good combination. Food is quick and tasty. More importantly, it always tastes fresh. They're pico de gallo is prepared every morning. They have a solid selection of bagels, cream cheese, and beverages. This is more of a take out oriented place. There is a small bar with stools, but they aren't exactly comfortable. The staff is friendly and the shop is clean. My recommendation: have them added some pico de gallo to your egg & cheese bagel. read more

I'm only going to have half. I don't need all of this fat and all these calories. Just half. Just half. Just three quarters...oops. These bagels are so good. Like, so, so, so good. Chewy, salty, savory, boiled goodness. Plain bagel. Toast it just a little. Get a good schmear on there. Heaven. Fresh, hot, strong coffee, a copy of the Phoenix while I wait, and these guys are as fast and efficient as they come. It's a little hole on Thayer, but it's a quality product. read more

Bagel Gourmet is the perfect place for a quick and affordable breakfast item. Keep in mind, if you spend less than $5, you will not be able to pay with card. I was completely satisfied with a plain toasted bagel topped with strawberry cream cheese. The only downside is their lack of gluten-free bagels. The staff is very friendly and they always do whatever it takes to keep the customers happy. The day that I visited, there was a rude man in the shop asking people for money. He was persistently and obviously bothering me, and the lady charging people signaled me to come closer to the cash register so he would stop talking to me. I was also confident that the man taking orders would have stepped in if the visitor got out of hand. Their chai tea latte is a delicious accompaniment to a toasted bagel on a chilly morning. read more

I love eating here but hair baked into the food ! I probably won't come back which is sad because on a busy morning for me like this the shop is perfect. read more

Ordered a sausage egg & cheese on a spinach bagel. Being from Long Island it isn't the same. Long Island bagels will always be my biased go-to. However, their service and efficiency here at BGO goes unnoticed so that's why I'm giving a 4/5 than a 3/5. Also super convenient location! read more

Bagels were fresh and delicious. Was looking for a new spot now that the original Bagel Gourmet has moved and is not open on weekends. People were friendly and I was in and out quickly. Great spot! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday morning, the ordering line was 5-6 people deep the line moved quickly. great selection of fresh bagels. Ordered a toasted bagel and a breakfast sandwich. The grill was jamming but the orders were handled quickly. Excellent breakfast sandwich and bagel toasted to perfection. coffee was also good. Check them out! read more

This place has some amazing chicken tacos. The place is small, so it's more of a takeout place then anything else, and it's not fast, because they make everything up to order, but maybe that's why they taste so good. The toppings always seem fresh, and they've got a super sauce. I hear the bagels are good too (always seemed like an odd mix of specialties), but can't vouch for them myself. read more

As close to a NY bagel as you are going to get! This is my go to place when I am longing to be back in NY and enjoying a delicious bagel. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside and just the perfect size! They also have a ton of flavors and they all come in lowfat (but my standby is usually an egg bagel with lowfat plain and sliced tomato - YUM). I have heard that the quesadillas and other Mexican food is really good too but every time I step inside I always end up walking out with a bagel! read more

A staple of life on College Hill, BGO is not to be confused with the apparently far inferior BG located on Brook St. BGO has the popularity and reputation much larger than the tiny kiosk space it occupies on Thayer street. There is a consistent stream of customers coming in and out of the store throughout the day, visiting not just for bagels but also pastries, coffee, and burritos. Affordable, quick, and well loved. Live on, Bagel Gourmet Ole. read more

As far as quick places to go and get breakfast on the go, this Thayer street spot is on the top of my list. I've been frequenting this spot since In Your Ear records and the Million Year Picnic used to be right upstairs (way back in 2005), and I'm happy to report that the quality of food here has been consistent all these years. In the beginning I used to try a variety of different breakfast sandwiches on their house made bagels (all were really great), but once I stumbled upon the sausage breakfast burrito there was no turning back. I crave this thing, like constantly. The flavors of the sausage patty they use mixed with the eggs, black beans, salsa & peppers is an unreal combination. I have no idea how they get so much flavor in something so simple. I return here at least once a month to get my breakfast burrito fix. There is one thing about this place that I have to knock them down a star for... This place is such a happening breakfast place on the weekend (its a HUGE hit with all the college kids in the area) that it gets crazy busy, so busy in fact that its too much for the small staff of four to handle at times. This can often lead to mixed up orders. Twice I've walked out of there in the past two months with what I thought was my go-to sausage breakfast burrito only to return home and find this not the case. Never was the food bad or lacking in quality, but when you go there for a specific craving, getting the wrong item can be pretty upsetting. (I think a simple name system when you order can address this issue). All in all- if you're looking for a quick breakfast fix (whether its a quick bite before work or class, or even a cure for the worst hangover after a long friday or saturday night) I can't recommend this place enough. And if you're a regular and haven't tried the sausage breakfast burrito, do your taste buds a favor next time you stop in and get one, you'll be glad you did! read more
