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.
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!
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.
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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is some seating inside the shop, but if you walk down the street, there are some parks and benches to sit at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
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!
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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's only limited seating inside so I wouldn't count on sitting down to eat in here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Side note that they have really cute merch inside!
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.
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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's super cute inside and rather small so don't expect to be able to sit down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, their hats for sale are adorable and high quality!
Bagelsaurus is a quaint little shop near Porter Square that serves some delicious bagels. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They sell out quickly, so go as early as you can. Also the shop gets cramped easi[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]l[[HIGHLIGHT]]y, so it's better to get things to-go. We tried their cold-smoked sandwich which was r[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]ather 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.
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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe adds to the whole experience, cozy neighborhood energy, granola, friendly staff, and the smell of fresh bagels in the air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.
Review Insights
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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]small space inside which tends to lead to the line and daily special bagels.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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
I love this place! It's rated one of the best in the area, if not all of New England, and for good reason. They've expanded the inside of the store a bit but definitely still have a line on weekends. It's totally worth the wait though, and it moves generally pretty fast. I always get the Eggspañola bagel sandwich, though the cold smoked salmon is also a good change of pace sometimes. Some of the bagel flavors sell out pretty fast, but I like getting the olive or sesame ones often. The spreads are also really interesting and well-flavored as well, with some of my favorites being the honey rosemary and the scallion cream cheeses. read more

Bagelsaurus lived up to the hype! I got the hot lox bagel and it was soo good. I am usually not a fan of salmon but man it was good. The cashier was also super friendly and I didn't feel rush when I had to order especially with such a long line! read more

Still my favorite spot for bagels. The quality and flavor continues to be some of the best out there. The salt bagel with rosemary honey cc combo is so amazing! Online ordering makes it so convenient on weekdays, on weekends plan to wait in line - it is worth it. Service is always quick and friendly. read more
Upon walking in, there was a line out the door. We placed our order right away and it was about a 15 min wait. Price was reasonable and there was a good of variety of bagels. Wish they had more coffee options, than just cold brew. read more

Love coming to this place- really delicious bagels but must go early other wise very long line. Also parking can be kinda annoying- normally go on the side streets. I did a traditional everything bagel with cream cheese but my friend did a sandwich. Both options are worth it. Very good bagels. read more

When I arrived at Bagelsaurus, there was a line outside the door. The shop is small and the line moved really quickly! The employees worked hard to deliver orders quickly. I ordered the seeded wheat bagel with honey rosemary cream cheese. I spent less than 20 min from the time I arrived to receiving my order. My bagel was worth the wait! It was crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and the cream cheese was plentiful and delicious! read more
What I Ordered: Hot Smoked on pretzel bagel with honey rosemary cream cheese and added cucumbers * favorite cream cheese ordered * hot salmon is rougher and drier than cold salmon and slightly cooked Hot Smoked on everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and added cucumbers and arugula Cold Smoked on everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and added arugula and picked cabbage * preferred cold salmon more * sandwich toppings are more sour than hot smoked Eggspanola on sea salt bagel with added avocado * smaller sandwich compared to the others ordered * unique tasting yellow sauce * bagels were slightly tough to chew but I did visit a few hours after opening (so could be because they were sitting out for awhile) * very filling * quick service * all menu items are customizable * my new favorite bagel shop!!! 9.5/10 read more
I'll admit... I'm a bit picky with my bagels. Ever since living in Boston I've heard the hype about Bagelsaurus and wondered if the reality would live up to the expectations. The answer? Not really.. but it's still good! I visited here on a rainy Sunday morning and the line was out the door. After around 20 minutes of waiting, we were able to order. I got their classic jumbo sandwich (with the added bacon) on a pretzel bagel. I've never heard of/tried one of these bagels before so I was intrigued! It also seems to be one of their most popular flavors. The prices were a bit steep, but it's in the city so I guess I can't be too surprised. Unfortunately there are only a few tables inside and they were all taken, so keep that in mind if you're planning to eat there. The sandwich itself was tasty. The saltiness of the pretzel bagel paired really well with the savoriness of the bacon and runny egg yolk. It didn't blow my socks off, but it was good! If you don't mind waiting in line for awhile and ordering to-go, then I'd recommend stopping in and giving it a try. read more
Ordered online on a Wednesday morning, so there was no long wait! The bagel was super good & fresh and I'd definitely come back to try other items! The space was pretty big (compared to before they made renovations), so there were a lot of seats! read more

this was so yummy, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the building was so busy but i found a seat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and was so excited. the mustard butter on the bagel added a fun flavor and i can't wait to go back and try more menu options read more
I was visiting Boston this fall, and we walked about 2 miles from our hotel for these bagels, and they did NOT disappoint. They were so good. The bagels were served really quickly, and while seating is limited, the space is clean and inviting. You might have to eat outside or take it to go, but it's worth it!!! I ordered the salt bagel with scallion cream cheese and a combo bagel, I forgot what it's called but it has the most delicious feta! I had just been to NYC and I can easily say that these are the best bagels I've had on the East coast. read more

By the time I reached Bagelsaurus in the afternoon, there was a line outside the door. The place is small with limited seating inside. I ordered the hot smoked sandwich on a sea salt bagel and cucumber lemonade. Unfortunately, some flavors were sold out by the time we reached the beginning of the line. The bagel was packed with pickled red cabbage which did not taste bad but ended up overwhelming the entire sandwich. I enjoyed the hot smoked salmon, but it had a thin layer in comparison to everything. The sandwich sounded better on paper than it ended up tasting. I could not finish even half of it before getting sick and tired of it. I do not have much of an impression on the bagel texture, but the sea salt was prominent. The cucumber lemonade was better than I expected, but I would not purposely get it again. I tried my friend's bagel with jam and that was probably the worst jam I have had. It was overly sour making it hard to stomach the bagel. Overall, I do not think this place was worth the wait and there are better bagel spots in the area. read more
My number one place for bagels in Boston. I came here randomly one day while in Cambridge. There was large line out the door waiting for bagels and I was curious. Coming from New York City I did not expect a long line for bagels in Boston so I decide to try it out. Ever since then I have been coming here every time I am in Boston. The bagels are made fresh and packed with flavor. They have several sandwich and drink options available. My favorite is the Eggspanola on an everything bagel. It is packed with flavor and delicious. The feta and aioli really make the sandwich. Over the years I have tried the other choices as well but the Eggspanola will always be my favorite. The only downside to this location is the lack of seating. There are only four tables available. With so many people coming during the weekend hours it is hard to find any space to enjoy your meal unless you come super early or later in the day. However, if you live close by it is easy to pick up and go as many people do. read more
I'd give this place more of a 3.5/5, however, my review can't be too thorough given that I came at a later time (2pm) when most of the items were no longer on the menu. The staff seemed a bit tired, but I can't blame them at all as they were quite busy. Being a previous service worker, I totally understand how tiring it can get, especially on a Sunday. I got the charcuterie brie on a poppy bagel. I'm a huge fan of brie, but I was fairly disappointed that the brie, the arugula, and the salami were served room temperature. The salted butter was barely an addition. In terms of the bagel, I prefer a softer bagel if it's not toasted. The bagel itself was fairly dense and stiff. BUT, I did appreciate the portion sizes and the distribution between meat, cheese, and veggies! I believe I would've been a bigger fan if I came earlier in the day, when the ingredients are fresher. I plan to visit again for another evaluation. I have high hopes! read more

Bagelsaurus is my new favorite spot for a bagel in the Boston area. A short walk from the Porter red line stop, this spot is easy to get to and has a good amount of options. Not much seating so be prepared for that and no bathroom as far as I can tell. I've been a few times now and each time has been great! The staff is super friendly and the line moves fast. If you want to avoid the line out the door, weekdays would be the best time to visit. My go-to order is the everything bagel, toasted, with scallion cream cheese. Crispy exterior, chewy interior, and the cream cheese is lighter than others. The eggspanola sandwich is also great. The aioli isn't too spicy and the parsley gremolata adds a freshness to the bite. Pro tip: go early on a weekday to snag a bag of day olds. Slice and freeze them for a quick toaster option in the morning. Just as good! read more
I'm always on the hunt for a good bagel place in the Boston area but actually in Cambridge and Bagelsaurus is one of them! This bagel shop has a wide variety of unique sandwiches and bagels. Went with a friend and we got the BLT sandwich on an Everything bagel and an Eggspañola also on an Everything bagel. The BLT sandwich was probably the best bagel sandwich I've had in the Boston area. It's not a typical BLT! The bacon is candied and the tomatoes were oven-roasted. The texture of the bagel was incredible. I added Spicy Scallion cream cheese as recommended by the cashier and it added so much flavor! The Eggspañola had feta, egg, and we added avocado. The sauce that came on the bagel was great and the ingredients tasted very fresh. The texture was just a little too mushy and I wish there was something crunchy in there. The ambiance is very quaint. I went on a Tuesday morning and it was packed! I recommend going before 10AM if you want all your choices or they sell out! The price is very reasonable with it being about $7-$12 per sandwich. This is cheaper than a lot of other bagel sandwiches in the area. I haven't been back since my first experience but I will definitely be coming back for more! read more
I went on a Sunday around 10:30am, waited for about 30 minutes in line, then another 10 minutes for my bagel order to be ready. I'm not quite sure why the hot smoked salmon is so popular of an order--I didn't enjoy it texturally or flavor wise. However, the cold smoked salmon was delicious. The bagels themselves are incredibly light and airy with a nice chew. Really really good. Fantastic flavors as well. I really enjoyed the rosemary honey cream cheese, which was pretty unique. Fair amount of seating but the shop was absolutely packed (as bagel shops often are on Sunday mornings). Overall I was very impressed by Bagelsaurus and would give it a hearty stamp of approval read more

Friendly. Efficient. Delicious bagels, bagel sandwiches, any version of bagels you want! Order ahead available (check website for details). Lines DO form and they sometimes sell out of bagels so commit and make a plan to do! read more
Bagelsaurus offers the best bagels in the wider Cambridge area. The bagels are a bit dense and thin relative to some of the more fluffy bagels I've had, but they are very good nonetheless. This is a local favorite for a reason! The lines can get CRAZY here, so order in advance. I wouldn't even try going on the weekends b/c of the lines. Just stick to the weekdays and order online! The egg sandwiches are also excellent. read more

YUM! I was visiting Cambridge on vacation and my Airbnb host turned me onto this shop. I went on a Saturday morning and the wait time wasn't bad at all, but it sure was busy! Anytime I walk into a restaurant that has this many customers ordering in store and picking up their online orders, I know I've found a gem. And indeed it was. I came with my parents but made sure to taste test everything they ordered, too. Oh the perks of making sure I've got a well-rounded Yelp review ;) My dad ordered the banana bread and it was delicious. My mom got the salted bagel with butter. It was tasty, but since the butter is also salted, it was just a lot of salt for 9am. I'd recommend a schmear over butter on this particular bagel. I got the cinnamon raisin bagel with the honey rosemary schmear. The schmear was the star of the show. They don't skimp on the schmear, plus it's warm and melty when they hand it to you over the counter. I'm already dreaming about ordering it again. Lastly, consider their cute merch. I just can't handle how adorable that little bagel dinosaur is! It's to the left of the cash wrap when you walk in. read more

We ordered online for pickup, which was super convenient. No waiting in line and our order was ready within 10 minutes. The bagels were huge and fluffy on the inside but the outside of the bagel is a little hard to chew. Overall our favorite bagel place and would highly recommend. read more
Best bagels in town? Possibly. Not the easiest to obtain, since you either have to order ahead online or go day of when they open to order. Check the website for latest info. As it may have changed by this review. I loved their sandwiches the most, and can't wait to come back to try more offerings. read more
My favorite bagels in greater Boston. And believe me, I've been to all of them to make sure each one gets the right superlative. Yes, there's almost always going to be a line on the weekends. Can also be popping during the week. There's metered parking along the street. There are tables inside, but it's tight so never a guarantee. I dig a good everything bagel and cold lox. Woof. No espresso drinks, but great coffee, iced coffee and cold brew. read more
This place is by far one of my favorite bagel places now. I moved to Cambridge this summer and went to Bagelsaurus on a Sunday morning. The line was around the building which scared me, but it felt like it moved very quickly and once I ordered, I only waited about 5 minutes for my food. I ordered the classic jumbo on a plain bagel and added avocado and bacon. It was delicious! The egg was cooked perfectly and the bagel was soft and chewy. I also tried their lemonade which was fresh and not too sweet. read more
