A very well known spot by locals with lines usually extending for a block or two sometimes. I finally got the chance to drop by on a very early Tuesday morning. I came right as they opened and there were already about 5 people ahead of time. Service was great and there were plenty of seating at 7am. The kitchen looked busy already preparing orders but my order came out quick! read more

I visited Bagelsaurus after it was recommended as one of the best places for bagels in the Boston area. A few weeks ago, I stopped by and picked up a couple of bagels to try. The blueberry bagel I had that day was absolutely superb, probably the best blueberry bagel I've ever had in Boston. A few days later, I craved that same blueberry bagel and made the trip back, which is a considerable drive for me. Upon arrival, I was told that blueberry bagels are not offered every day and are only available on Thursdays. I returned the following Thursday, but the experience was very different. I got blueberry, poppy, and a few other bagels to take home. Unfortunately, all of them were absolutely disappointing. They tasted extremely off and very different from the blueberry bagel I had previously. At home, my family ate about half of what we purchased, but none of us had any desire to finish the rest. Overall, the experience was unpleasant, and the bagels were not enjoyable at all. The blueberry bagel from my first visit looked and tasted amazing and was completely different in quality from what I received on my second visit. On top of that, the person behind the counter seemed careless with hygiene, touching the screen, bagels, and other surfaces without any apparent attention to cleanliness. It felt like a completely different place compared to my first visit just a couple of weeks earlier. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed. read more

I've always heard great things about this place, but one of my friends (who's from NY) said this was the worst bagel she's ever had. Having now lived in NYC myself, I had to try it out. Of course there's always a line but it moved pretty quickly, and we were even able to snag a table at the last second. To be fair, the bagel was good, if you go in with the mindset of not comparing to a NY bagel. Bagelsaurus has more crispy bagels, and it's pretty thin, while NY bagels and thick and chewy. With that in mind, if you want to compare to NY, you're not going to like this. But if you just want a bagel or breakfast sandwich, it's pretty good! I personally liked the texture for what it is, and they have good variety of bagels and sandwich options. read more

Glad we finally caught this spot without the usual line out the door and down the block! They've got a huge variety of bagels, spreads, breakfast meats, and sandwiches to choose from. The standout for us was definitely the scallion cream cheese, easily one of the best I've ever had. The bagels themselves were solid, though a little on the smaller side, they skimped on the bacon on the sandwiches and slightly overpriced for the size. read more

My friend and I came here for breakfast on a Friday morning around 10am. While it was busy, the line wasn't that long and we were able to get a table. We shared the eggspañola sandwich, which had an egg, feta, pimenton aioli, and parsley gremolata. We also shared a salt bagel with honey-rosemary cream cheese. The bagels aren't as large as standard New York bagels, but their texture and flavor is good, even if it's not exactly the same. read more

Bagelsaurus always hits the spot for a delicious and not-too-heavy-yet-filling bagel sandwich. We went around 9am on a Saturday and just beat the down-the-block line that starts forming around 9:30-10am. I got the Eggspanola with no feta, adding cucumber and avocado. I noticed that even though my number of toppings had increased, the size of the sandwich remained around the same. Knowing that, I think I would keep the number of toppings the same as the sandwich size for the best value. There is some seating in the store, but due to how hectic it gets from people crowding around waiting for their orders, we usually take our orders to-go to eat somewhere more relaxed. read more

This was a great bagel sandwich and I thought it was reasonably priced considering how packed it was. I got the hot smoked salmon sandwich on an everything bagel. I also tried the coffee cake, which was decent but obviously the bagels are really where this place shines. I thought it was a nice touch they had oat milk available for free to add to your coffee by the water dispenser! read more

I'll be honest, I originally picked this place for its name. I was staying nearby, and it sounded like a good breakfast option. I didn't realize it was such a popular one! I stopped by on a Sunday morning, maybe 9am, and there was a ridiculously long line. But I had nothing better to do that early, so I stuck it out. Let me just say, that place is worth the wait. I had their Blt on a cheddar garlic bagel, and it was one of the best bagel sandwiches I've had. My only wish is that along with their shirts, they sold stickers. Great logo. Highly recommend this place. I may just need to make a special trip the next time I'm in Boston. read more

AMAZING bagels! The best in the Boston area. I've been here so many times and checked out other bagel spots, but always come back to bagelsaurus - it is simply hard to beat the quality bagels they serve! Bagels: highly recommend the cheddar garlic bagels (a special offered Friday-Sunday), honey rosemary cream cheese (good on any bagel but especially love it on pretzel or sea salt). Staff are super friendly! The owner is very kind. There is some seating inside the shop, but if you walk down the street, there are some parks and benches to sit at. read more

Bagelsaurus never disappoints. If you come on the weekend, be prepared to wait. The bagels are so good, the wait is totally worth it. I usually like to order for pickup, but sometimes it's not open for online orders. I walked in on a Friday morning and there was zero wait time to order and it only took about 10 mins for my food to be prepared. Today we got sammies for lunch. They were so good. I got a chicken salad on a garlic parm bagel and added cheddar. Check out my pic! You gotta check this place out. If you're lucky you'll get a parking out front and a seat inside! read more

Rated top bagels of Boston so we had to try! I didn't think much about the wait time but we arrived about 30min after opening and there was already a small line out the door. It didn't take too long to order but I can imagine the line gets very long by mid morning on the weekend. There were so many unique choices with some classics. We ordered a hot lox sandwich on a pretzel bagel and an everything bagel with honey rosemary cream cheese. The sandwich description intrigued us so we chose it over the cold version but after trying it, I think we'll get the cold one instead. The rosemary cream cheese leans sweet over savory but overall still tasty. The bagels, even the pretzel one, was slightly chewy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. A little tough but not bad. There's only limited seating inside so I wouldn't count on sitting down to eat in here. Side note that they have really cute merch inside! read more

This is by far, the best bagel shop i have ever been to!! I am STILL thinking about the bagel sandwich i had and even tried to recreate it at home. I ordered the EGGSPAÑOLA | $9 - organic over-medium jumbo egg, Maplebrook feta, pimenton aioli, parsley gremolata. It was worth every penny; my mouth was salivating from the first bite. I wish i could go back to MA, just for this sandwich. The female cashier that took my order was so sweet as well, this place really made an incredible first impression on me. read more

These bagels are DELICIOUS! It is so worth the wait. We came on a Saturday around 11am and waited about 15-20 min in line, and another 15 for the food. If you have extra time to spare, definitely just do it because the bagels are sooooo good. It's super cute inside and rather small so don't expect to be able to sit down. Also, their hats for sale are adorable and high quality! read more

Bagelsaurus is a quaint little shop near Porter Square that serves some delicious bagels. They sell out quickly, so go as early as you can. Also the shop gets cramped easily, so it's better to get things to-go. We tried their cold-smoked sandwich which was rather tasty. I think the dill cream cheese & smoked salmon filling was actually the star compared to the bagel itself. Those were very fresh and balanced. I think it would've tasted better if the bagel was warmed, because otherwise it was a rather standard everything bagel. Overall I still enjoyed everything though, would come back for sure. read more

Bagelsaurus - Honey Rosemary Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

The line at Bagelsaurus is legendary and for good reason. Worth the wait!!! It looks intimidating when you first pull up (especially on a weekend morning), but it moves surprisingly fast. And once you take that first bite, you realize every minute in line was 100% worth it. I went with a sesame bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, and it was perfection, the kind of breakfast sandwich that ruins all others for you. The bagel itself had that perfect balance: chewy inside, crisp golden, and just enough sesame for texture and flavor. Simple, but executed flawlessly. I also grabbed a cinnamon raisin bagel with honey rosemary cream cheese, and wow... that one completely blew me away. Literally crave that cream cheese everyday. The combo with the sweet bagel and herb/sweet cream cheese was unbelievable. Easily one of the best flavor pairings I've had in any café or bakery. The vibe adds to the whole experience, cozy neighborhood energy, granola, friendly staff, and the smell of fresh bagels in the air. It's tucked right in Cambridge, surrounded by little shops and tree-lined streets, making it the perfect morning stop before exploring or catching a flight. Pro tip: The line is part of the ritual. Grab a coffee, enjoy the local chatter, and let the anticipation build because when you finally sit down with that bagel, it's pure satisfaction. read more

The eggspañola is RICH. I got it on the black olive bagel. There was the surprising and super delicious taste of lemon rind in there somewhere, not sure if it was the bagel or eggspañola stuff. Anyway this was the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. I'd describe it as an egg breakfast sandwich but elevated. The egg was a perfect runnyness for a breakfast sandwich. The feta was amazing and almost tasted like string cheese (which we love), and also almost tasted like there was feta AND mozz. The aioli added such a nice smoky spicy creaminess. There was so much going on in this sandwich and every bite was a little different which we LOVE. The bagel itself was extra gluten-y, almost the texture of sourdough, which we love! It gave the sandwich a lot of structure without being too tough. I'd love to try the rest of their menu and I'm especially curious about the hot smoked. read more

We must have hit a stroke of luck because we had no line! I had the classic jumbo egg sandwich and look at that yolk perfection with the tangy mustard!

Bagelsaurus - Classic jumbo egg sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Perfectly satisfies all your bagel cravings! The bagel was soft on the inside and firm on the outside with a nice flavor profile. As for the sandwich itself, I could have done with a little less feta and a little more egg, but the tastes of the sauce and cilantro complement each other beautifully. And the egg itself was cooked to perfection! Additionally, the serving size is spot on, leaving you just satisfied. Bagelsaurus is a great spot for a quick breakfast or lunch with a friend. Although the space is small, they have a good amount of seating. Even when they're busy, it doesn't feel too cramped and the service is fast and accommodating. I would recommend getting there earlier in the day if you can, so they don't run out of your preferred bagel flavor. Otherwise, their selection and customization is sure to have something everyone will enjoy! read more

I wanted to say this place was overrated so I wouldn't have to wait in line again, but ugh. We waited about 20 minutes on a Saturday around noon, and by the time we got to the counter we got the last of the everything bagels and salt bagels. Shortly after we left, they were down to their final 10 bagels but there was still a huge line outside so definitely come early or take a peek inside to see the bagel supply before getting in line. I got the chicken salad which was delicious and I love that they pack in so many fresh ingredients in there. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Great staff - Dakota was very helpful in helping me place a large last minute order of bagels and spreads. The bagels were delicious!

Bagelsaurus is a cozy little bagel shop tucked right outside of Porter Square, and it definitely lives up to the hype--just make sure to come early because the line gets long and they sell out fast. The staff keeps things moving efficiently, and our bagels came out quickly even with a solid crowd waiting. We tried the Cold Smoked bagel sandwich and a classic everything bagel with cream cheese. The Cold Smoked was tasty--salmon, dill, capers (not really our thing, but didn't ruin it), all came together really well. The everything bagel had a good flavor but got a bit hard to chew, even after being toasted. Still solid, just a bit tougher than expected. Overall, it's a great spot for unique bagels and worth the early trip if you're in the area. read more

These pretentious people do not want you money so don't give it to them. Limited hours but ample rules on how to obtain said bagels. Order online they say... then "not accepting orders" .. Yes, they're good bagels but they aren't worth the hassle of trying to find parking on Mass Ave to then have them run out or tell you you didn't order correctly read more

Bagelsaurus will now be one of my frequent visits for bagels for sure it was so so good. Came on a Friday morning and the line was a bit long but moved faster than expected. The store is small with a few bar and table seating and with the big crowds I would recommend taking to go! The ringer/customer service was super friendly and efficient. I ordered the BLT sandwich on a garlic parmesan bagel and subsituted mayo for scallion cream cheese and oh my was this one of the best bagel sandwich combos I have ever had. The garlic parmesan bagel is a weekend special but I would absolutely recommend it for those who love lots of flavor and cheese, it was crisp on the outside but still had that soft inside. The bacon was thick but still crisp and sweet, and I LOVED the oven roasted tomatoes. The overall flavor combo was fantastic and I am literally craving it as I write this. I am also so obsessed with their little dino logo, love this place. read more

Finally got to try Bagelsaurus after wanting to check it out for sooo long! I got there around 10am on a Sunday and there was already a line formed in front of the cafe. But don't worry - it's a fast moving line! I got to order after like ten minutes max. The wait for your order isn't that long as well. Watching the bagel assembly is really satisfying - everyone knows what they are doing and very efficient! It has quite a few seats and they are most likely taken on the weekends. They definitely have a great range of bagels and cream cheese selections, and also add-ons! The cheddar garlic bagel with scallion cream cheese was chef's kiss along with smoke salmon and onions! Also got to try their spicy peppers cream cheese and I love that as well - it has a subtle kick. If I have to complain, I just wish they have a better selection of coffee. - 8.5/10 read more

Popular bagel shop but I personally didn't get the hype. There's usually a queue here on the weekends so it's definitely spot that people love but I don't think it was for me. The staff here are quick to keep the line moving and get everyone their bagels. I just stopped by to grab some bagels and go and once I was inside the shop things moved quickly. The bagels here are sourdough bagels which end up being chewier than you'd expect from a regular bagel. They have a good variety of flavors available including daily rotating specials and a bunch of cream cheese flavors. Definitely give it a try if you love sourdough though. read more

Best bagels in Boston. The Bagels are so fluffy and soft, yet maintain a hard exterior shell which is what I look for in a bagel.

This place was packed noon on a Saturday and we had to wait in line for 5 min to place our order as things kept selling out. Good; - The bagel was so cheap and simple yet the rosemary cream cheese elevated the experience so much that it was so tasty and memorable. - Nice beautiful seating inside, wooden aesthetic Bad: - Sells out super quick Overall would come back for super unique bagels. read more

So I guess this is an unpopular opinion but I wasn't a huge fan of Bagelsaurus. I stopped by at noon on Wednesday. They were sold out of all but 4 bagel varieties (I believe it was sesame, French toast, sea salt, and plain). I was a little bummed because I really wanted to try the pretzel bagel but I also definitely don't hold it against them that the selection was limited. Obviously they're very beloved so I take that as a good sign! I ended up going with the sea salt bagel with scallion cream cheese. You order at the counter and they call out your name when it's ready. There are only 4 small tables so I waited a bit until one opened up. It seems like most people take their orders to go but I don't live nearby and the weather was too yucky to eat outside. As far as the bagel itself, I just wasn't the biggest fan. It was very chewy, which I don't usually mind I a bagel as long as it has a nice fluffy inside, but this one was bordering on being tough. I also just didn't love the sourdough flavor. As far as positives, the scallion cream cheese was good and very generously portioned. I also got a coffee, which was ok but a bit bitter for my liking. I don't think I'll be revisiting Bagelsaurus, just because I've had better bagels in the Boston area, but if I do I'll stop by earlier in the day and see if the bagels are better when they're fresher. read more

Wow I can't believe I hadn't been to Bagelsaurus after almost 5 years of living in Cambridge. My friends and I showed up around 9:15 on a Saturday morning, so unsurprisingly, there was a pretty long queue that stretched out the door. However, the queue moves very quickly, and they get your food ready in very little time, so we all got our bagels within 20ish minutes of joining the queue. I ordered the eggspañola sandwich on a cheddar garlic bagel, which was super delicious. The over-medium egg was cooked very nicely - a little bland on its own, but went really well with the feta cheese. The bagel itself was not too salty, and the garlic and cheddar were very present without being too heavy or overpowering. Also, the aioli was fantastic - possibly my favourite part of the whole sandwich haha and really tied together the excellent overall flavour profile. (Advice for cilantro-haters like me - not to worry, the green diced leaves are parsley heh) I feel like the quality was roughly commensurate with Black Sheep, although I think I liked the selection of bagel sandwiches more here. Also, I think the price point is a bit higher at Black Sheep compared to here. (But definitely both are excellent options for sure.) Anyway, super super yum and I wish I had come to try Bagelsaurus earlier!! I'll definitely be back more often whenever I'm in the area. read more

come before 9:30 on a weekend - the ever present line will still be there but at least it will be a little shorter than usual. rated highly by local bagel influencers and friends alike, this past weekend i decided to venture down to bagelsaurus to see the hype. small space inside which tends to lead to the line and daily special bagels. service was friendly and as fast as they could go. got a bakers dozen, a coffee (broadsheet!), and a cold smoked on a cheesy garlic. cold smoked was good but was anticipating the dill to be mixed into the cream cheese- at times i was gnawing on hunks of dill. not a detractor for me, but i can see how some may not like that. delicious though! later from the dozen i had a pretzel bagel and that was fabulous. looking to come back - maybe a bit earlier... read more

"This is what happens when you get national exposure." Indeed it is, my fellow patron, who said that to me as we were waiting in line for our breakfasts. In case you need more context to this quote, yes, this was us in line, but with a line going towards the door, and growing. Throngs of schooey college kids, to the weary commuter, to everybody in between, lining up to get their mitts on these round mounds of rebound. Thanks to Guy Fieri, and a few other national media outlets, this bagelry, already a Cambridge staple, has now taken on icon status, with everybody boasting how good the bagel is, even those not from the Boston or great New England region. Is the bagel as good as people say? Well, I just came from Montreal, and I live in New York City. Two areas that if you do a bagel incorrectly, you will lose your head. I am happy to report that the bagel not only came out fast and warm, but also tastes pretty delicious. It has the correct ratio of crunch to chew. The fillings are real fresh (the cream cheese is some of the freshest I have ever tasted), and it really leaves a good depth of flavor. Putting dill on the sandwich is a questionable call, but adds an aromatic flavor that a bagel with cream cheese and lox sorely needs. It is not a New York bagel, or a Montreal bagel. It is a bagel category all in its own. For $11, it is a great deal, even if there is nowhere inside to wait or sit. Customers are crammed up against each other and you really have to pay attention to hear when your order is ready for pickup. It is also super close to the T. For a bagel shop that received national exposure, this one deserves it. read more
