    I enjoyed my bagel sandwich here! The bagel seen is sparse in boston and it's even harder to find a shop that does bagel sandwiches. I liked that I was able to get a proper breakfast sandwich here! I got a four cheese bagel with egg cheese and sauce. It was quite good! Not the most exceptional bagel but it definitely still satisfies.

    My friends and I stopped in for bagel sandwiches when visiting the public market. My sandwich was so delicious and made fresh! I do have to say there was some complaining from the staff when ordering. Overall though( the food was yummy and my friends' sandwiches were delicious as well, lox, chicken guild, and a make your own sandwich was ordered. The public market is a perfect location to eat the sandwiches as well!

    Great place for a bagel breakfast sandwich. The staff was great and took my order then quickly made my sandwich. Food was very good and prepared to either eat sitting inside at one of the many tables or walking around the city. See you all tomorrow...

    Very good bagel, but the place kind of smelled like fire. Service was super helpful-- I wanted an addition and subtraction on my bagel and he priced it out twice to see what was cheaper. I made up the difference in tip!!

    Great place to grab a delicious bagel. We had a couple toasted with cream cheese, but couldn't resist bringing some bagels home to try that we had never seen before. The rosemary bagel is great! The veggie cream cheese is fantastic! Nice staff.

    Staff and speed and quality are always right on. The bagels are fresh and taste like a good proper bagel should. They also don't skimp on cream cheese like pretty much every other spot in Boston other than pavement. Love the bagel flavors especially rosemary salt and four cheese. I've never had a flop and there's ample seating since it's in the haymarket food hall. They're tucked away so it's cozy and nice.

    Bagels are my favorite foods to eat for breakfast! Delicious bacon, eggs, and cheese. Must go!

    Decent breakfast sandwiches for the price ($7.50 for an egg and cheese with bacon, sausage, or veggie patty), but smaller, drier, and tougher than expected. The service is friendly and fast and there is a cute café-style seating area next to the shop counter.

    Brief Summary: - Great chewy bagel texture - Located within Boston Public Market We came and ate here for breakfast. This one was located in Boston Public Market, and found near the center of the building. There are seats alongside this food restaurant, as well as in front of it, so this was a great place to order and quickly find a place to sit and eat. We ordered two different bagel sandwiches: one was from the special menu: B-Flat. The other was a simple bagel with a spread of chive. I recall ordering one of the bagels with a spicy chili and the other with onion. Both of the bagels had a great chew, and while I have a low spice tolerance, the chili was not too spicy. The special sauce tastes like an aioli. For the sandwich combination of egg and cheese, the sauce that tasted like ketchup was a random flavor.

    The best thing about Bagel Guild? Probably the location. Inside the Boston Public Market, it's always bustling with people ranging from tourists who are walking around downtown to locals who are looking for a quick breakfast option. The bagels are definitely not the best I've had, but they're tasty and I never have left disappointed. I wish they had a bit more cream cheese options, but what they have available is still the basic, good options people usually look for. I also wish the prices were a bit lower, but that's just a complaint of the Boston Public Market in general. Still, I enjoy stopping by on occasion and hope this inspires other bagel shops to open up nearby!

    This is the B Flat, very yummy & interesting

    Quick service, pleasant staff, great bagels. Tried two different sandwiches here on two different days and both were excellent (B Flat, Boston Cold Smoked). Plenty of nearby seating as well.

    Found in the Boston Public Market, we went to Bagel Guild as my companion desperately was seeking out bagels. Apparently this place had great reviews on Google, and after going, I don't see what the hype is. This to me was a pretty average bagel. The bagels are affordable for their size and they love slathering on the cream cheese. You can honestly do worse, much like you can do better. See for yourself and let me know what you think. /shrug

    WHO DOESN'T LIKE A BAGEL!? I was in Boston this week and I was walking around in the Public Market when I saw this place. I watched for a moment and these guys are making their own bagels from scratch! Mixing the dough, shaping, boiling, baking. So I thought this has to be a good bagel and who doesn't like a good bagel, and to be honest not sure why this place doesn't have better ratings. I had the "Cold Smoked". It was their version and a pretty classic version of Lox and Bagels. I had it on a everything bagel. It was salmon lox, cream cheese, capers, red onion, and last some fresh dill. It was pretty awesome. The bagel was the star of the show with it crunchy exterior that had a lot of great everything bagel seasoning, and a pillowy, chewy, interior. There was a good amount of cream cheese on it that complimented the rich smokiness of the salmon. The rest just tied it all together with the dill brining in freshness. Probably one of the better renditions of this favorite I have had. Is it a hipster place like some reviews said? Yea it is. Is the staff rude? I didn't find them rude but they were short, but isn't that just Boston in general? Look, don't let rude or unfriendly people stand in your way of great food. This place was fast it was decently priced and it tasted awesome. Keep exploring!

    Pretty good. Nothing crazy but a solid bagel and solid schemer. There are better spots in the city for bagels however this does the trick.

    If you compare this to Boston or New York bagels, you'll be disappointed. But we loved our bagel sandwiches. Nice decor

    Harvard Square

    Two things tipped me off right away that this place isn't for anyone who has high standards for…read morebagels: They were out of both sesame and poppy bagels; and they toast their bagels unless you go out of your way to tell them not to. The plain bagel I got was dry, flat and bland, with a neutral, characterless texture that lacked much contrast between the crust and interior. Sure, the bagel was a big step up from a heated-up frozen supermarket bagel, and I'd have been OK with it if I got it in a random diner in the middle of nowhere. But it was two giant steps down from the bagels you get in any of the several acclaimed bagel places in the Boston area--two of the best of which happen to be within 10 blocks of this place. On the other hand, this place has tables, and the basement brick vibe, while not particularly pleasant, isn't oppressive. And to be fair, their business seems much more based on the modest selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches served on bagels rather than on the bagels themselves. The counter service was civil and efficient. So if you're not looking for great, or even very good, bagels, then this place isn't a bad option for lunch in Harvard Square. If you're in it for the bagel, though, keep walking--you don't have far to go.

    My favorite place to get my bagel fix! Black Sheep Bagel Cafe is a cozy bagel shop in Harvard…read moreSquare. Easily accessible to the T. They have free wifi so if you come during slower hours, it's a convenient spot for studying. Despite the usual long lines, the staff are always friendly & efficient. I highly recommend their Classic Lox! They always load up their fresh bagels with generous amounts of add-ins. Definitely getting your moneys worth. If you're feeling experimental, their menu has a ton of other tasty options. Their Pesto Turkey is also a delicious choice. Cannot recommend them enough.
