    This bagel place is awesome! So many options from bagels to sandwiches to muffins. We went on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. Staff were friendly. Definitely recommend!

    Really nice and cozy place. I didn't know it was cash only and I had already ordered I did have some cash but I was actually short a few cents, I was so embarrassed! The owner was so nice and told me not to worry about it. Everything was made to order and was wicked fresh! I super appreciate them helping me out. Deff recommend!

    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.

    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

    Avocado, American cheese, tomato, and red onion... YUM

    My friend and I stopped in for lunch. I got the turkey panini and she got a salad. We sat at the…read morebar. While we waited for them to bring the food, we ordered green monster smoothies. Service was awesome. The smoothies were really good. My sandwich was good too. I liked the bread and the cheese. I thought it would be grilled for some reason but I must have been confused with the menu. I ate half the sandwich and saved the other half to eat at the airport. It not only held up well, it tasted even better. It was 1:30pm on a Monday and the place was packed! It's a well-oiled machine!

    I ordered through DoorDash so I'm not sure how much blame pressed cafe gets, but the açaí bowl I…read moregot was basically a soup with how watery it was. The bottom of the bowl was slightly cold so maybe the DoorDasher had it under a heater, I don't know. Either way I wasted $15 on an açaí bowl that was gross. You can see in the two pics where I tilt it and it slides easily (because it's water). This was very disappointing for my daughter and she couldn't eat any of it. I've had one delivered from tropical smoothie cafe that arrived in an edible state and was delicious. It was just as expensive as this one and half the size, but atleast it was edible and yummy. Edit: Changing from 2 stars to 3. I called the store and the manager offered to remake it for me so if that's one good, this review can be bumped up to 4-5 stars :D Edit 2: Jose took care of it for me with awesome service. Unfortunately the açaí bowl was only okay so 4 stars is as good as this review will get.

    Well, you will need Google Maps, a compass and a Boy Scout badge to find this place…read more Between Mayor WU's one way streets that Google Maps don't know about yet? Or the Exodus old window locations closed and the airstream camper location in alley is the new temporary place to order from. But I was tipped off by a bagel buying enthusiast when I was looking in the closed window location puzzled why I didn't see any people or bagels . The nice enthusiast told me that the pick up location is around the corner in a different new alley ... confused still but as Columbo the detective would do... I saw people walking from many directions to the new alley at 8:10 am. I followed the crowd to where others were already in the alley for the ordering process at the airstream trailer ... I was reminded of cousin Eddie in the Christmas movie with Chevy Chase and his camper trailer . The guy in the trailer looked like a horse bookie taking bets with his note pad and credit card machine... he may have been one of the owners after I researched later on website . I ordered a garlic Asiago bagel with butter and a salt bagel with veggie cream cheese. Then I was instructed to stand in alley and wait for my order . The bagel worker bees I then saw them come out of another building door with the bags of bagels and hand out to the experienced bagel buyers who intelligently order ahead . But the wait was quick and the worker bees scurry in and out of the door with the bags. There no tables or an area to eat in the alley . There was No inside coffee selections or Starbucks couches to lounge on eating your bagel sipping the latte to Italian music? I understand this is temporary as old space being renovated? I had my bagels both toasted and were perfect shade of toast . These were excellent different type bagels and not a brick dough filled type that becomes rock hard . The texture of bagel was more of a crunch chew in a good way. The garlic Asiago was a real deal flavor and thus would be excellent for a BLT or tuna or chicken salad for a sandwich , this would be winner chicken sandwich dinner . The salt bagel had a strong salt flavor again in a good way with the veggie cream cheese. The veggie cream cheese needed more veggies in it, but it did the trick to tame my bagel itch. Excellent bagels and the treasure hunt experience to find them was worth it. Clearly by the line of people and congregation of people from differ directions...they have a devoted following... reminded me of a Facebook announcement of a new iPhone release and people sleeping overnight to be first in line . Now, what is their secret of how or what they do to get the crunch texture but remain airy and not doughy? In summary: a great bagel and I need more .

    $30 for a dozen bagels! You gotta be kidding!! Totally not worth it. There is no ambience it's a…read morepick up window.
