Wow, 9.70 for a bagel bacon and egg , cheese Prices went up ... bacon was bacon bits mashed up. Used to be my bagel sandwich spot . 10 bucks not worth it any longer read more

There bagels are the best. I see where they get their name. Great location in th center of town. They had a line out the door with locals so you know they have to be good. I had a breakfast bagel with ham egg and cheese. Double eggs fill me right up. I am not sure I needed it either the size of the bagels. The bag was still warm. It must have been right out of the oven. I wish I lived closer to patronize them. I would definitely return. read more

What I love from a bagel place is when the bagels are handled by the employees only.. not behind a sneeze guard for people to use their sorry hands and get their own. This place might be busy, but the wait to order is not very long.. 10 minutes at most and then you can get your coffee as they give you a cup to put it yourself, sit down, inside or outside ( in surprised the outside want packed as it was a really nice day to be sitting outside) as they have tables outside too, and wait for your name to be called which again isn't long as they have 3 people preparing the food. Or even less waiting if you just order bagels to go as they just pack up what you want right after you pay. The coffee might be self serve, but it was good and the bagel was great, I haven't tried the gingerbread man in my photos which I just bought cause I really liked his ugly face. The only downside I see for this place is that there is no accessible entrance and they could invest in converting the rear entrance into a ramp. read more

Delicious bagels with very friendly staff and fast service! High recommend Bagels Best!

Great food and service. People are so nice there. Great ambiance for breakfast and lunch.

Amazing bagel sandwiches! Have been going here for years, then they put up a huge Blue Lives Matter sign in the window. Food is great but I unfortunately can't eat there anymore because of this offensive flag. read more

Cash only. "You can use the ATM." Credit card fees are about 2%. I would have spent about $15.00. That would have cost the business 30 cents. Instead they lost my $15.00 sale and any future business. It's 2018 and any business not taking alternative forms of payment should be out of business. I went to my usual bagel place instead. Avoid this place. read more

Aside from their ridiculously prices bagel sandwiches ($6.75 for a Bacon Bagel and that doesn't come with a drink). The place is cute. It's a serve it yourself iced coffee place; I've never been to a place like that but it's a neat idea. Kind of a do-it-yourself service... When I was there the guy at the counter seemed like a rude cashier, but it was actually the customer who was rude. The cashier was just trying to resolve the situation and he handled it very professionally. He was friendly and he even assisted on refilling the creams. I'd come back here for the coffee, but not for the over-priced bagel sandwiches. read more

Pretty good bakery, BUT... you'd think with a name like Bagel's Best they'd have really good bagels. Unfortunately, while shaped like bagels, they're more like rolls. Fluffy as opposed to classically chewy. Might make for a decent sandwich, but it's not shmear and lox-worthy. read more

Every morning I get "the usual". A small coffee and an onion bagel. (I'm not addicted to the caffeine, I just like a warm drink...) Their bagels are so airy and fluffy. Their staff is among the nicest that I've encountered. They know my name. They greet me with a smile. They remember what my favorite things are. Sometimes I go back for lunch for a grilled cheese bagel with tomatoes on it. They also serve hot and cold sandwiches, salads, fruit, smoothies, etc. etc. Bonus: Buy some bagels by the dozen or half dozen to take them home for later... pizza bagels are great for dinner. and... there is another one: Bagels Best II 340 Walnut St Newton, MA 02460-1923 (617) 630-9444 read more

But for Yelp, I would not have ventured into this place but I can honestly say I have never had a better bagel. It's a quiet unassuming place, not fancy, but a fine place to grab a bagel or a bagel breakfast sandwich or a muffin and sit down with a coffee. I had an iced coffee. You won't be disappointed if you love a good bagel. I came in the morning but it looks like they serve lunch too. Oh, and I did get some bagels to go!! read more

By far the best bagels I've ever had. Soft and so flavorful. I would eat here multiple times a week.

I had placed an order through TooGoodToGo for food. My wife went to the location and showed the order on her phone. They said the order wasn't ready at 1:30 when it was supposed to be picked up and to come back in 10 minutes. She came back and tried to open the app and had trouble doing so, but she also had a photo of the actual order with the confirmation code that I had sent to her. They refused to honor the order with the photo, so my wife called me at home and I got onto the app and swiped to confirm the order and sent her the photo of the confirmed order. They still refused to honor the order and would not give the product for which I had already paid. The person behind the counter was named Sharon and she was extremely rude to my wife. This was the worst "customer service " we have ever experienced at a food establishment. read more

Awesome bagels! They are on the smaller side but packed with a punch. So many good flavors to choose from. Only downside is it's cash only! read more

Bagel's Best - Avocado, American cheese, tomato, and red onion... YUM - Sandwiches Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

Have been looking for a good bagel in the area for a while. Someone recommended this place. Went there today. On a Sunday morning. I was very skeptical, as there was no one else in the store. I figured it would have been busy. It wasn't. Bagels are decent. Not great. Very disappointed that it's cash only. I may have given it one more star. read more

I was in Needham from Boston for the first time two weeks ago and stumbled upon this place after taking the commuter rail over. The location of the shop is incredibly convenient, the service is fast, the staff are incredibly friendly, the price is fantastic, and the bagels are great! When I came to Needham again this morning, I knew that I would be stopping by to pick up a bagel. I would definitely recommend Bagel's Best to anyone who is passing through Needham and looking for a quick bite to eat! read more

Outright fantastic bagels and general cafe bakery. Excellent service and you're bound to find a conversation, wether it be with the awesome employees or any other patron. I've been going here my entire 12 year residence in needham. read more

I come here all the time, great service too. I love the bagels!! I get them with whitefish, or sometimes with hummus and veggies, or the avocado delight. Great coffee here too. Highly recommend this place read more

Always a good experience. Good bagels, etc., pleasant staff and competitive prices. Also has numerous tables for dining in.

I was craving a bagel sandwich, so I 'yelped' to see what was around me and this popped up. Heck, I was in the area so I parked and walked in. I should have picked up on the fact that aside from other customer, the place was empty. The bagel selection was low, which was understandable given it was about noon. I ordered an everything bagel, toasted, with chive cream cheese and lox. Mistake. The bagel was barely toasted, but good. That's where the good news stops. My ever so lightly toasted bagel was SLATHERED in cream cheese. I understand someone being generous, but this was absolutely unappealing. I took at least half of it off, probably more. Also, I believe she microwaved it beforehand to soften it as well. Perhaps I'm picky, but there is a difference between smoked salmon and lox. The fish on my bagel sandwich was thickly sliced, and neither fresh or seasoned. I couldn't eat it. The place was a mess! There was not a single clean table. I started wiping my own table and chair down before I ate. The employee who was chatting it up with the other customer looked at me and continued his conversation. Will not be returning. read more

The best cream cheese in America. I have traveled and had the top rated bagels in NYC Chicago and Boston and bagels best has been my favorite since I was a kid. Highly suggest the everything bagel toasted with plain cream cheese and I nice pineapple orange guava Nantucket nectar. Make sure you bring cash because they don't take cards. read more

Great bagels. Business supports local organizations and staff kind, always with a smile and a warm greeting.

Bagel's Best has always been my favorite! The staff is friendly and bagels are great. I just had them delivered for the first time -- there's a minimum but they were easy to work with over the phone and hand delivered locally to my parents as a Mother's Day treat. Highly recommend for anytime you're in Needham! read more

This is a cute little bagel shop located in the heart of Needham Center. They have Bagel sandwiches, pizza bagels, bagels and cream cheese, as well as bagels and lox. They also have many juices and coffee's and teas to choose from. The staff is normally friendly, and very professional. Occasionally you might get one of their part time employees who lacks a little in the customer service department, but for the most part all of the full time employees are the ones you'll see there. Sometimes it's hard to find a place to sit, and sometimes the tables are not cleaned off as often as they should be, but that can also mean that they are really busy. I always say if a business is really busy that is a good sign, it means people like them! read more

So so good!! The bagels were delicious & the staff was friendly. This will be a regular spot for sure!

The only downfall of this place is that it's cash only, BUT there is a BOA atm right across the street! Everything I've had here so far is amazing, the best bagel sandwiches I have found so far. The prices are quite reasonable too, considering they give you generous portions of meat (including the salmon!) read more

Have to agree with other reviewers here - the bagels and sandwiches are very good, if a bit pricy. Best bagels in Needham (although Cafe Fresh Bagel is also very good and gives them a run for it). The service isn't always the 'best' however. The owners are VERY nice but some of the other behind-the-counter staff can be quite brusque. Parking isn't so bad - there's generally plenty behind the store if not on the street. Overall I like Bagel's Best and will make the extra trip to go there. I know it's hard to find good help but a bit of attitude adjustment for certain members of their staff would bring them to a 5 in my book. read more

They are soooo nice. Bagels and coffee are both awesome definitely check it out though they are cash only which kind of sucks
