Came here around 10:30am on a weekday morning with my daughter. It was a bit busy, the workers had a friendly vibe, and the dining area was kept clean. My daughter got a classic plain bagel generously spread with cream cheese, which she enjoyed. To accompany it, she chose a matcha drink topped with strawberry foam, a delightful combination that was visually appealing; She said it reminded her of a cherry blossom. I felt overwhelmed with the menu and opted for a chai beverage with lavender foam, because it was pictured on the menu by the cashier. I chose to eat a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel, because I heard a worker call out some one's order and quickly thought that sounded good. I felt anxious because there was people behind me, so I did not even read the whole menu. We shared an order of fries, which arrived hot and crispy. My daughter appreciated how they stood warm til the last bite. Afterward, I learned that Bagelman has been a staple in the Danbury community since 1984, known for its fresh, made from scratch bagels and a variety of cream cheese flavors, If I ever come back here I'll definitely explore their scallion or walnut and raisin flavor, depending on the bagel I get. They also offer vegetable, olive, strawberry, lox spread, and peanut butter & jelly. For those planning a visit, Bagelman offers online ordering through their app, which can be a convenient option during peak hours. It'll give you time to explore their extensive menu better. Their dedication to freshness make it a worthwhile stop. read more

I'm a bit puzzled how this place has stayed in business for all these years when so many other (and much better) eating establishments have closed. The service (or lack thereof) sets things in the wrong direction long before the first bite of a mediocre bagel. I ordered a breakfast bagel. It was ok, but not ok enough for me to ever order another. Dry, un-toasted (or ever offered) fried egg with sausage. Edible but forgettable. I should have read the reviews before trying this place. Apparently, the owners aren't reading them either. read more

Ordered online 1029AM, pick up notification @ 1049AM, order ready at 1124AM, waited 35 mins in store, the store line turned over 3 times while online orders never expedited. I'll be driving to Johnny's in New Fairfield from now on cheaper and quicker. read more

Terrible service and even worse food save your money and time . Ordered online waited for 30 min for two BEC was never ready and jut got terrible attitudes from the staff. No one cares and you can tell . read more

This Bagelman has started charging 50 cemts to slice your bagel again. It takes about three seconds to slice a bagel. That works out to $10 a minute for labor, or $600 an hour for "bagel slicing". I've apparently chosen the wrong profession, as bagel slicing now pays more than a MD, without the need for all that time and expensive education. Complete Rip-Off!!! read more

Ordered some Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwiches through their app for breakfast, and added some hash browns on the side. Good overall breakfast-eggs were a little over cooked, but our order was ready relatively quickly. Smaller establishment that's tucked away in a shopping center, but can't go wrong here for a BEC. I found the app easy to use. Don't forget the salt, pepper, and ketchup! read more

Ordered a sandwich and soda online at 10:45, got to store at 11:00 and didn't get my food till 11:50. Don't bother ordering online you wait forever. read more

I usually love this bagel man but today I got a chicken sandwich and I asked for roasted red peppers on it (which is an up-charge) and I only got TWO SMALL PIECES on my sandwich. It was literally a joke... I don't know why they thought that was okay for the size of the sandwich.. disappointing read more

I always get a Turkey club on a roll or a plain bagel... but for breakfast i get a B.E.C with hashbrown, on a plain bagel with mayo, hot sauce & ketchup.... Staff is friendly, Ambiance is small & clean read more

Perhaps it me, but it appears like they changed the recipe or are using lesser quality ingredients to make their bagels. We usually buy a dozen or so at them freeze them. We've noticed the bagels are no longer soft and chewy but crusty, brittle and dry! Plus, they are WAY over priced! It bread! Go elsewhere! read more

DoorDash and other delivery drivers BEWARE! You WILL lose time and money if you accept orders from this disgrace. after waiting 30min past my pick up time for 1 bagel and 1 coffee, I had to cancel the order. I could have completed 1-2 more higher paying orders in this timeframe. I will never accept another order from this bagelman and I will never be a customer. read more

As a regular at this bagel man service is almost always great. However when I get this one cashier or server Named Elijah the service he gives me will never fail to be some of the worst service I've seen at this bagelman. It's like he owns the place, some of the of the things i've seen him do was sitting in the corner during a rush, steal drinks and food from the refrigerated section, and last but not least i've noticed he always smells like smoke. I'm not sure how or why he is still employed at bagelman. Other than this minor problem the bathroom is relatively clean and the dinning area is clean and a great place to go otherwise read more

Always good! order on the app is the best way to go as they are a busy establishment . When I visit friends or family out of town They always request Bagelman bagels read more

Manager is the worse ever will not return to bagelman hope owner does something about her cause he will loss alott of business.....I always made big purchases and since she came on as manger,I stopped buying..due cause she said she won't deliver. She is rude to customers. read more

Food is good. Just always takes awhile at this location to come out. Now with DoorDash etc tack on another 20min better to get delivery than wait in person here for the extra $5 Please go with a number based system. Not orders based on name! My orders have been given away now to other people with the same name. Online orders still use names and are in bass in the pickup section. In house orders are given a deli number. That number written on order receipt to match. Boom! read more

I ordered three sandwiches. They were not honest on the menu about what you get with an add-on. I paid $1.60 to have avocado added to my sandwich and they barely put any on the sandwich. When I called, the manager had to be prompted to apologize. Look at the picture to see what $1.60 gets you if you add avocado to your sandwich. Shame on them. read more

Bagelman - This is NOT 1/4 of an avocado! Clearly misleading customers on the menu! - Bagels Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

This is your bagel spot , out anything on a bagel spot lol. The location was clean and the employees were polite. The menu has some good choices to chooses from. A good variety of bagels to choose from. I chose the the chicken parm on a everything bagel. The bagel was super soft, even after it was toasted. Really delicious. Enjoyed my quick lunch. read more

Bagelman - Chicken Parm on a everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

I don't know who owns this place, but leaving Sarah as the manager in charge is costing you a lot of customers. Always rude, not helpful. I called once to ask why the smoothie option wasn't on the app and if there was a way to pay for it, legit said she doesn't handle the app and doesn't have time for it. I've spoken to her before regarding a bagel I ordered and she hung up on me, I had to call back and speak to a nice young girl. I swear I rather go out my way and drive the extra 20 minutes to another location than put money in this place's business with her there. read more

I ordered a breakfast sandwich and a Texan and paid for it over the phone with my credit card. It came to $15. They have a website to order from. Unfortunately I could not get out of my driveway because my car was blocked in. I called and asked if they could please refund me as I could not come and get the food. I understand that it was my mistake and my problem but they okayed my refund and then called back to say they couldn't refund me because they made the food already. Again, I understand it's my problem but as a business you'd think they would be willing to budge instead of loosing a customer. My family and I eat here on a weekly basis. I wonder who at bagel man got to eat the food I paid for, because I sure didn't and paid for it. read more

Terrible service. No one actively looks at anyone waiting for online orders. Workers act as if people don't exist by pick up. Extremely slow and you need to literally chase down an employee to get your order. Sort out the ops here big time is needed. Food and drinks are good, too bad service is not. read more

Complete COVID-19 super spreader! Maybe 3 out of 50 patrons don a mask. The place is packed pp are literally breathing down your neck in line, the cashiers are sniffling and coughing and of course unmasked!!! If you want to get sick this is the place for you Otherwise stay far away Tsk tsk tsk to the owners of this establishment for not setting a better example. Especially since many of your customers are Hospital employees read more

Ok, so ordered 1 pumpernickel bagel with extra veg cream cheese and got charged $8, when I told him that wasn't right I got a price adjustment and served an everything bagel with hardly any cream cheese. I literally went back into the store and asked them for just some more cream cheese on the side and the woman behind the counter yelled at the cashier for not up charging me for extra cream cheese. Will NEVER, EVER go back. EVER! read more

I want to start this review by saying that I have loved bagelman for years and whenever I have people visit I always take them here because it's so good. But honestly lately I have been deciding not to go there because you have to factor in an additional 20min wait time just to get your order. They made changes to the interior awhile back but it's still so run down and dirty looking where costumers wait for their orders. It seems the people working there have a disorganized system as well. The workers are typically chatting and walking back and forth and ignoring all the costumers waiting. I usually like to order a bacon egg and cheese but don't now because it takes forever. So I order a bagel and cream cheese (not even toasted) in hopes it'll be quicker and I still wait 15min. And guess what..... they got my order wrong when I got home even though the order is on the bag they give me. I'm writing this review in hopes that someone will actually see this and realize changes should be made. Bagelman is really tasty and authentic and yes I'll continue to go there but honestly it needs some work. And based on the most recent reviews, other people kinda agree. read more

My absolute favorite place for breakfast, brunch and lunch and snack and whenever I'm hungry and want something simple. So many choices that I know will be good. Bagel is fresh and everything taste fresh and made as if it's homemade. Toasted bagel. Sausage egg and cheese. Salmon cream cheese. After this place extended the space to have more seating areas with tv and tables, the orange theme reminds me of DD. I like the easy vibe here. I recommend this as the to go place for a quick bite or morning food/brunches. I have not been disappointed. (Service can be a hit or miss, especially since they are more and more busy). Outside seating available on warm weather seasons! read more

Never felt more disrespected I was targeted for my Muslim beliefs and was attacked verbally and racially for my beliefs from the second I entered I did not feel welcomed because of my religion this is unacceptable and they put bacon on my sandwich which made it clear I can not eat bacon. read more

I have really tried many times to give this spot a chance. Today was the last straw. Whenever you walk in there, the staff looks miserable. No one greets you with a smile or even gives you eye contact. Bad attitudes! Service is super slow. I ask for a bagel with butter not toasted and what do I get EVERY time? A bagel TOASTED! It's so annoying, I didn't know I had to check my order before I left. Then today, I ordered a bagel and they must've cut an everything bagel before mine, my bagel tasted like an everything bagel. Clean the knife after each bagel!!! I had to throw it away it was so foul. They really need to work on their customer service skills, I will not be back. read more

No point in using the app. Ordered at 10AM. App said order would be ready at 10:30 AM. Arrived at 10:36AM Was told by the counter salesperson, the food was coming out. At Bagelman, that is code for "we will now start making your food." Food was given to us at 10:56AM. If you have all day or want NYC customer service, this is the place for you. read more

I ordered a sandwich and slushy. I went up to the counter after my purchase and said that I was got the wrong flavor you gave me the wrong flavor can I get the flavor that I wanted? The owner came up to me young guy he needs anger management training and said I'm losing money because of you I said well if you gave me the right drink you wouldn't of lost money. He slap three dollars on the counter and said get the hell out of my store and never come back. He obviously has anger management issues. What a way to treat a Customer. read more

Great place for a breakfast sandwich. I grew up in NY and it's tough to find a place that can complete with a NY deli breakfast sandwich...but Bagelman does! read more

We ordered on their app and arranged for curbside pick-up at 11:15. By 11:35, after waiting on hold for 20 minutes, while our food got cold, I gave in and walked inside. People were packed inside, not maintaining any distance. One guy had no mask on. Nobody working there said anything. The employee argued with me saying that you have to call to get curbside. They said that they would bring it out. I waited another 15 minutes. I called again several times and the phone was busy. Nobody picked up. Then I went back in and they gave me a big bag that had been sitting there the first time I went in. It was a big order. I felt exposed to Covid and had I known that they don't really do curbside pick up, I would not have ordered. If I get Covid from getting bagels, I'm going to be very angry. Too bad you can't leave 0 stars. Cold egg sandwiches and Covid exposure. Gross. On top of all that, they gave us the wrong bagels. read more

I've been here maybe 5 times. Every time they messed up my order, and/or something was burned. Got a bacon egg and cheese with hashbrown this morning and this is what I got, I tiny sliver of overcooked egg, so small it only covered 2/3 of the roll, and no hashbrown on a stale roll. New Fairfield Food Center a mile up the road makes much better sandwiches. read more

Bagelman - Terrible bacon egg and cheese. - Bagels Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Really wanted to leave a 1star but opted for 3, bagelman has been around a long time the quality of food hasn't really suffered but boy has the service. These kids / young people DO NOT want to be there. No hellos, how's it going, no pleasantries at all. They all look miserable and in return the product they assemble isn't up-to par. the owners should take a hard look across all stores these workers will be your down fall after years of serving Danbury and now surrounding towns. I would start looking with who was working Sunday 3/26/23. read more

I'm giving bagel man two stars because the food is good when it is the correct order. I've had issues in the past with them messing up my order but I always let it slide because they usually are busy and people make mistakes. But I think this time was a bit ridiculous on this particular day I ordered two bacon eggs and cheese sandwiches with sausage and some other side items and a wrap. They checked off everything on the paper so I didn't check my bag . I get home and my sandwich is missing I call them up and they tell me that they definitely put it in the bag. I told them that it wasn't there and I would like to pick up the sandwich that I paid almost 7 dollars for. They made my sandwich I went to retrieve it and I opened the bag labeled "BEC w sausage" and there was no bacon to be found. Again, I know people make mistakes but if a customer were complaining to me about a forgotten sandwich I'd make sure it was correct. read more

The past three times I've been here they've messed up my order. Today i got a bagel toasted with butter. There was a short wait and they didn't toast my bagel at all and the butter was still cold. Not worth coming back read more

Great food, but mobile order is wrong just about every time. I've never yelped about it because I see this as a first world problem, but it's about staff getting organized and communicating better. read more

Bagelman - My side of hot peppers is actually a side of roasted red peppers. - Bagels Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Absolute shit establishment. Coffee is burnt and you can taste the cardboard cup in the after taste. Simple toasted bagel did not come toasted and took over ten minutes to make due to young immature poorly managed staff that think fooling around is more important than being professional. read more

Paid almost $8 for a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese and a small iced coffee and I received this and no caramel in my coffee. Also waited 10 minutes for this, while people with breakfast sandwiches received their order before me. read more

Bagelman - supposed to be blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Absolutely horrible experience, waited 30 minutes for my online order, AFTER, it said it was ready, asked multiple staff with no help, finally someone comes out of the back with the food that had been evidently sitting there the entire time because it was ice cold. Terrible service, will not come back. read more

I swear to you, this is the worst Bagelman! Not only are they problematic, they are very cheap with everything! I seem to always have an issue here whereas the other locations are so easy going. I ordered a raisin bagel with cream cheese and I got a very thin layer just enough to cover the bagel. I ordered a Classic and they were cheap with onion, lettuce, tomato, and cream cheese. The kids here are young, rude, and with attitudes. Beware. read more

I echo the reviews about the terrible service and the quality of their hires is pathetic. The staff really do not want to be there and their behavior proves it. No greeting, no thank you, nothing. Had to wait until the clerk at the register adjusted his hat, his pants, and apparently for his eyes to focus on me in front of him. I asked for a Reuben but with corned beef, not pastrami. That completely threw him and I said just make it as normal. I also asked for a dill pickle on the side. The order finally came out and no pickle. I took it back up and got it back with sliced pickles on the sandwich. Had to return it a third time for them to get it right. The pickle looked like it had been stepped on and the pastrami looked like it had been on the grill all day (and not much of it). Finally, the other big irritant is at least 30 minutes before closing the staff start sweeping up, mopping, and taking out trash even when there are guests in the dining room. Rude!!! I'm done with this place. IF I could have given them zero stars I would have. Eat elsewhere. read more
