Came in in a busy Saturday morning. Good selection of breakfast sandwiches bagels and cream cheese flavors. Service was quick and all food was presented hot and ready to go. bagels were hot and fresh. Bacon was crispy, and the turkey breast was grilled just right with the eggs and cheese. Did not have lunch but the lunch menu also looked good. The only drawback was that there was not enough seating in the deli for people who wanted to stay and enjoy their food. All in all a good NY bagel and a great breakfast. Would definitely recommend read more

Above Average Excellent bagels, just like they "should be". Chewy-ish throughout, but more so on the outside. Most bagels are like bread in the SHAPE of a bagel...not these! These are the real deal! I had the veggie cream cheese which was flavourful and rich in flavor. Pricing is also reasonable. We had 2 bagels with cream cheese and a coffee for $6...not bad. Coffee was OK..not the best, but not horrific either. You want to go for the bagels, not the coffee. They also have other muffins, danishes and soups too, although I haven't tried them. Folks were very friendy. Thanks read more

I guess I should have read the previous reviews, complaints of waiting more than 20 min go back 5 years so being short staffed due to the pandemic is not the reason. The 2 times I went to Danbury Bagelman, I waited 25 min for a Ham, egg & cheese. I went the 2nd time (year later) to see if my experience the 1st time was a fluke but nope. Today was my 2nd and last visit there. read more

Bagels are good here. It did take quite a while for our order of two bagels with cream cheese to be completed, they were quite busy but still was a long time. Bagels had a nice "chew" to them and were not to bread like. There was a generous amount of cream cheese on our bagels. read more

I've been a long time Bagelman customer. The people at the counter still don't remember my name. You'll be waiting a long time before you get your order and the quality is no longer there! We miss the old Bagelman, the ones that showed customers love. Hopefully they remember my name now. read more

Nice place. Bagels are good. No lemon for tea but they had lemon juice. Cold cuts are freshly sliced as ordered. Very busy in morning. There are tables and plenty of room. read more

Went in to place order. Woman read order back to me and everything was correct. Get home 15 minutes, unload kids, walk in house. 4/7 bagels are wrong. Why read it back to me if you're not going to make it correctly? Do I need to go behind the counter to supervise? Called, and the woman said the only way to get a refund is to bring the sandwiches back (another 15 minutes), I explained how with kids that would be very difficult plus it was snowing. She said manager would call the following day. It has been one week and the manager has not called me and is never in when I call. Will never go back and would encourage friends and family not to visit this business. Also the bagels are not good. read more

Based on the reviews of some, I was expecting bagel nirvana. I didn't find it. Service was hectic and haphazard. Took a while to grey my bacon egg and cheese. And once I got it the egg seemed a little rubbery. The bagel was fine. But without the right filling, it couldn't save the sandwich. read more

Bagel man is the best food spot!!! Especially the everything bagels and croissants!! A must try.

Excellent experience! Talk about fast service It was a bit crowded but the ordering process was smooth and easy. I ordered my usual, chicken cutlet on a roll with lettuce, onions, oil and vinegar and mayo of course (if your gonna go for it, go for it!). My friend ordered 2 BECs on a roll. Our wait time was less than 5 minutes and the food was De-Licious! Probably the best chicken cutlet sandwich I have had in a long time. The BECs were fresh and well executed too. Bought some loose bagels for the weekend and they stayed pretty fresh for 2 days. Found my new sandwich place! read more

Do NOT eat Bagelman bagels. They will ruin you, no longer will you enjoy your so-so supermarket bagels and even the little shop in your town that has "pretty-good" bagels, nope no more. Easily the best bagels from here to NYC read more

I love everyone that works here and normally am very happy with the food but this isn't the first time that I've gotten a bagel with next to no cream cheese. Are times that bad?! What gives?! Most bagel shops load the bagels up with cream cheese this place just gives you bread read more

Bagelman - Bagel with a touch of vegetable cream cheese, disappointing - Bakeries Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

The bagels are crisp do not need to be toasted always stop in when i am in the area the best in danbury

Bagleman needs to come to the Midwest because these bagels are delicious. Visited on Sunday morning and even though they were busy they got the orders out fast and everyone was very friendly. After reading the reviews I really wish I would have gotten the lox spread; I guess I'll just have to visit again. read more

Really good bagels in the area. Was hard to find decent bagels when you're originally from Long Island.

Had to wait 45 minutes for an order. Food is good but not worth that kind of wait. No one apologized for the wait but instead complained and argued with me for asking them about it. Wait times have always been a problem at this place--even for online orders read more

I went to the bagel man in Brookfield today, and my server had no mask on, and wiped his nose with his bare hands. I asked him to go wash his hands and his response along with his manager was "I don't touch your bagel". I am calling the health department tomorrom. read more

The bagels are good, but the staff is rude and the business does not respect its customers. My friends and I used to be regulars but the staff became more and more curt. Then I went in a few days ago and placed my order. The the bill was rung up and the amount was incorrect. (It was 10 cents over the posted price on the menu boards hanging over the counter.) when I questioned this, the counter person, pointed at the receipt and said, "read it." Confused at this non-response, I said, "what." she raised her voice and said "read it!" The receipt read, "we reserve to change the price without notice." I pointed at the menu board and the price it stated and she said, "we have not had time to change it, and i was instructed to tell any person who complained to read the receipt. " I replied, "so if the menu says $3.00 and I order you can then demand that I pay $10." She said, "yes, you pay what we say." I paid the bill, including the 10 cents, and told them I would never return. My friends and I were there at least twice a week. Never again. It's not about the 10 cents. A business can raise its prices. It's about the way. You do it. read more

One word: BUTTER - meaning...I love their cookies! They cost just over a buck but are definitely worth the price. Chewy, dense, and massive - my kinda cookie. I also love their NY crumb cake. Now for the minor bad detail - I'm not that big a fan of their bagels. I think the guy whose family owns the chain will hate me for it - but I just think they are too hard and not exciting/creative enough in their variety. A cranberry bagel!?? WOW!!! (Yes, I'm being sarcastic). How can a New Yorker say that THIS Connecticut bagel is better than a genuine New York bagel?! It's just not true - sorry. BUT - like I said earlier - the cookies are worth the stop! read more

My experience was HORRIBLE. Walked into the bakery at 6:13 am, had to say good morning quite a few times before the woman would even speak to me. After looking me up and down, really! I asked her was the bagels fresh and she replied very rudely "what do you want" needless to say I walked out. This place won't get my Buisness. It's just too bad cuz they have decent reviews. I'm new to the area, guess I'll have to just have to stay loyal to my Bruegger's! read more

This place was horribly disappointing. Got an everything bagel that tasted plain and barely had anything on it. Was a very small bagel and the eggs had no taste. I would not go here for a bagel, tasted like it was out of a bag! read more

Bagelman - A very disappointing sausage egg and cheese - Bakeries Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Delicious bagels. Great variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. The Classic Lox bagel is my go-to here, and I have never once been disappointed. The staff is super friendly, and always polite which is a plus. If something is wrong with your order they quickly make things right. I also enjoy the ice coffee. Only downside? Super long lines on weekend mornings, and no cell phone reception inside. But these are minor gripes - bagel man rocks read more

Such a staple breakfast place for me. Always a nice quick stop. Today I went in and got two salt bagels toasted with cream cheese and an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese. I feel they put way to much cream cheese, but that is me personally because I know my brother really appreciates the generous helping of cream cheese. I usually just whip some off. The bagels are always toasted perfectly. Also I have found they are unevenly seasoned. I know for the salt usually one side is covered in salt and the other side is bare. It would be more appealing if the salt was evenly disbursed. Also, the ordering/paying situation is a bit confusing. Depending on what you get, you pay right away or after the food is given to you. It just gets confusing as to where they expect you to stand at either the registrar or down the store at the pick up area. Anyway, good bagels!! read more

I could be biased because my family owns this chain but.... I'll act like a normal citizen because IT IS THAT GOOD. 100%, the BEST bagels you will ever have. Always warm and fresh, crispy on the outside. THE EVERYTHING BAGELS are to die for. Never mind their breakfast sandwiches.. I can't explain it. Since I have moved away not even a gourmet deli in NYC can compare. What I would do for a Sausage Egg & Cheese on an everything bagel right now.... Their lunch deli is also extremely fresh and it seems even a normal sandwich is that much better on one of their bagels. I can also speak to the fact that at the end of the day, all bagels are given away to a church or to family. They NEVER re-use bagels for the next day... a perk that I have also come to love being in the family. It is ALWAYS fresh- as they are there at 3am (or earlier) baking them for that day. Oh and the German Coffee Cake coffee is incredible. There is NO BETTER THAN BAGELMAN!!!! Everyone who moves away from Danbury says the same thing. read more

While passing through town on a road trip, my husband and I stopped here for breakfast since it was a few minutes from our hotel. The storefront is easy to find/spot from the road. There's plenty of parking. It was around 10:30AM on a Monday morning and there was a pretty significant line, but it moved quickly. The staff was courteous in taking our order. My husband chose a bacon, egg & cheese on an onion bagel. I ordered an onion bagel with cream cheese. The bagels were absolutely delicious, like nothing I've ever come across at home in Philadelphia. I guess based on previous reviews the bagels must have been really fresh, but if I lived in the area I would happily wait on new batches if it meant getting the quality of product we received that morning. There were plenty of onions caramelized on and baked into the bagels. My selection was loaded with a generous amount of plain cream cheese (never have I ever seen so many options for spreads so I went with the plain because I didn't want to hold them up). The bacon on my husband's sandwich was crisp, but definitely not overcooked. The egg was fresh, not a slice-to-order or frozen slab of egg-like product. We've been on the road for almost a week now and every bagel shop we stop in is a poor substitute for Bagelman. We're still looking for a place to beat it, but I don't think it's going to happen! read more

I've lived in Danbury my entire life and have traveled all over and Bagelman bagels are still THE best bagels I have ever had. My mouth is watering at the thought of them. I usually go to the one on Padanaram and when I was little, my parents would always stop there after church to get a huge bag of bagels and Bagelman cream cheese. The bagels are always fresh and warm, perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They also freeze and reheat very well. Their cream cheese, in my opinion, is out of this world and they have many flavors. The coffee is always really good too, both hot and iced. I've only had their deli items once or twice, only because I cannot not get a bagel if I go. Seriously if you're looking for a great bagel in the Greater Danbury area, this is the place to go! Delicious, affordable and a local favorite. read more

This is close to my house but for some reason this was the first time I had stopped in. Good, attentive service. Waited on right away, and it was pretty busy for 10:30 a.m. or so. Plenty of selection, whether you wanted a bagel or pastry. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on a toasted sesame seed bagel. Easy enough, but I've had plenty of these from other places where the egg yolk was over-cooked, or under-cooked. This was just right. Fresh and hot. The bagel was fresh -- doughy and tasty. Plenty of room to sit, read the paper, drink a cup of good coffee (not over-priced, nor burnt tasting), and nosh on a bagel. read more

Fast service, delicious food and the staff is very nice

Great breakfast sandwiches but need more staff in the back. Placed an order for 1 breakfast sandwich and waited 25 minutes. Couldn't wait any longer and ended up having to leave without it! read more

Delicious fresh bagels that hit the spot. My 6 year old, a notoriously picky eater, said the plain bagel with ram cheese was deeeeelishous!

Stopped in to get some everything bagels with bacon egg and cheese on them everything was cooked a good bagel was nice and chewy and nice and fresh great job guys read more

Great bagels in Connecticut... I was expecting horrific disappointment, but they make a darn good bagel despite their relative lack of proximity to Brooklyn. They've got all the standard bagel flavors plus a good assortment of cream cheeses. Everything you could want in a bagel shop. read more

The food is great but they never pick up their phone during busy hours. It's 1pm on Saturday and I called over 10 times to pre order. I walk in and call and watch them ignore the phone. I get it, you're busy, you're understaffed but this is not how to run a business. I'm also busy and would like to not have to walk in to order. This is not the first time this has happened. read more

Its an ok bagel shop. Nothing to really write home about but what can you do. The area to the left has a few tables to eat in at, unfortunately they aren't the cleanest. Looks like they maybe see a wet towel over them only a few times a day. Prices are good and they can make pretty much anything you can think of. read more

Generic bagel place in the greater New York area. Unfortunately, the bagels here aren't the best. The are very light - almost crispy on the outside and very fluffy in the middle. As a result the bagels are just not as dense as you'd expect. So I was still hungry after eating one bagel. I got my bagel with lox spread, and it was suspiciously VERY pink, as if there was food coloring in addition to the lox. It was weird. read more

Love bagelman! We don't live in CT so we get excited to get some when we come visit family! Unfortunately this visit wasn't so pleasant. The girl was rude and our food was made sloppy. We hope that when it's busy they treat their costumers better. read more

By far the best bagels in the area. I'm from Ridgefield and drive 15 minutes just to get a sesame bagel with scallion scream cheese, and my favorite... An iced coffee! The bagels are always fresh and soft. The spreads are incredible as well. Very busy on weekends, but worth the wait for sure. read more

Bagelman - Bakeries Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

The food here is ok but that's about it. I only go to here because it's location is convenient for me. The service is slow, it can take up to half an hour to get just a bagel w/cream cheese. The cashiers run around like chickens with their heads cutoff and frequently screw up orders. Their process to take and transfer orders to the people who fill them then get the right order to the right person needs to be changed. There are other locations, I suggest going to those shops or finding another restaurant. read more

Great that the now have delivery even though at a steep price. What they don't do is curbside pickup, even pickup at their door. Strange in that the other. Locations do. A few weeks ago , we did order, and when we got there a very pleasant young women brought our order to our car. We are in tough lockdown and this was the only place that refused to do curbside. Very strange. Luckily we went to one of the other locations that graciously accommodated us. read more

Bagel man has gone way down hill. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese and the bacon was raw. I would have went back but I was already gone. There are many other places around town that are much better. Very disappointed read more
