Amazing bagel sandwiches as always. The online ordering was easy and quicker than expected. Love that you can contact free pickup. read more

Bagelsaurus - Bagels Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Overpriced, over crowded, mediocre bagels, and ran out of most of their product before they closed up shop. What business keeps banker's hours for most of the week and then runs out of bagels not even halfway through the pitifully short work day? Poorly run business and they don't even have blueberry. 2 stars for giving me a photogenic bagel sandwich for my IG account. Otherwise, head to Wegmans for a better bagel and no lines. read more

I live in NYC and these are the best bagels I've ever had. Chewy, flavorful, with the perfect crust. I get the classic with roasted tomatoes or the t-Rex without bacon and I savor each scrumptious bite. A must-visit every time I'm in town. Delicious coffee and awesome staff too! read more

This is my favorite bagel place in Boston. Pre-Covid, the lines are long on the weekends, but totally worth the wait. During Covid, the order online and pick up is organized and convenient. You will get a text message when your order is ready and you just go up and grab to the window to grab the food. The classic jumbo is my go-to and adding bacon is a must. I tried the Hot Smoked as well. It's a little pricey for $11 a sandwich but the pairings of the salmon, dill, onion, pickeled red cabbage, and cream cheese is delicious!! The bagels are a bit chewy, but the best bagels in Boston! read more

Plain bagel with rosemary honey cream cheese. Cheddar bagel with scallion cream cheese. That's all this review needs. [Seriously this place is great and I think anything you order will be delicious.] On that note, the one thing I will say that was a slight downside to me was how hard it was to chew through the bagel. Probably an effect of the sourdough-ness which tastes amazing but comes with such consequences. First world problems, amirite? read more

Aggressively mediocre. I got two bagels, one everything, and one garlic parmesan. The bagel was very thin and bread-like. Both had decent flavor but were nothing special. Your average place in New York will be much better than this including many food trucks. Also a Trader Joe's bagel is almost as good. This place is good for a decent overpriced sandwich on artisan bread. If I had to compare it to something, it would be Panera. I would not recommend and will not be coming back with the high prices and 30-minute wait. read more

3 and 1/2 stars. Stopped in this morning on my way home from work. Being from New Jersey, I have high standards for bagels and these failed to wow me. The actual concept behind their breakfast bagels sound (and taste!) delicious, but what disappointed me was the tough, chewy texture of their bagels. My fiancé and I got the Hot Smoked on Pumpernickel and a Classic Jumbo with bacon on Cinnamon Raisin to share. Overall, I enjoyed the flavor profiles of both sandwiches and they certainly didn't skimp on the toppings. Also got a tub of their seasonal Strawberry Cream Cheese to go and it's delicious! Would come back for that and to perhaps give some of their other sandwiches a try. Still on a quest for the most delicious breakfast sandwich in the Boston area! read more

listen, every ounce of sweat lost by standing in line for bagelsaurus on a hot summer day is worth a bagel sandwich from here. the everything bagel will not only change your life but make you consider calling the BBB on every other bagel place you've been to claiming their bagels cant possibly be bagels because they don't compare. we can work on the phrasing but we definitely have a case. read more

I was disappointing to find there was only an option to order online, even when standing outside the store. Quoted 15 minutes to get a bagel... also they don't open until 11 on Saturday! read more

I tell everyone that they have the Best Bagels in Boston! The sourdough base makes these bagels unique. They have a wide variety of flavors (and special ones at times). You can get them plain, with spread, or part of a yummy sandwich. I love their T-rex! It's not too heavy and tastes great with the cinnamon raisin bagel. The chocolate chip pretzel, seeded wheat, and pretzel bagels are my favorite. They also sometimes have bagel chips available for purchase! The lines will be long, but you can get a grab bag to go on the weekends. You don't have to wait in line and can enjoy bagels all week long at home. Plus, the mascot is super cute. This place is a must visit! read more

I was really excited to try this place and had it on my bucket list for a while after seeing it on food network's Snapchat article. When my boyfriend and I arrived around 8:50 am there was a line out the door that we decided to wait in. It took us around 20 minutes to reach the front, which we honestly weren't bummed about. What really irked me about this place was their overpriced bagel sandwiches made with regs bagels that are super chewy. Like I felt like I was chewing on tough leather chewy. My boyfriend ordered a bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese for $11!!! Mine was a bacon egg and cheese for 8$!! This place seemed like a huge scam. I know It's hard to find good REAL bagels in Mass but so far the closest thing I've found is Kupel's in Brookline. read more

Fantastic bagel shop! I got the classic jumbo with ham on the seeded wheat bagel! Read a bunch of reviews before trying this place and they definitely didn't do this place justice! Highly recommended! read more

A coworker brought a dozen into the office with various spreads. They were so delicious! Crispy on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. Not sure why everyone is always comparing and complaining about bagels - yes, some bagels are good, some aren't - and it's all a matter of opinion anyway. Who cares if these aren't NY style or if they are - they are damn good! Highly recommend a pretzel bagel with the mustard butter, also tried the everything and sesame bagels - very good! Didn't care for the honey rosemary cream cheese, too sweet for me, I prefer a savory bagel. If it were closer to me, I would frequent this place - line and all! read more

This bagel shop is notorious for its long line. Especially during the weekend, it starts accumulating about an hour after they open in the morning. Though the line may be out the door, don't be intimidated... the wait was manageable for me ~15-20 minutes. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the food. I had the cold smoked salmon sandwich. The bagel was quite hard as if it was stale, and it didn't have any bread flavor. The cream cheese was really thick (I should've asked for less cream cheese). The salmon was really salty without much smokiness. Overall, the sandwich was quite unbalanced for my liking. I've heard really great things about the T-Rex sandwich, so I might be back to give it another try. read more

BIG FAN They have my favorite things together, dinosaurs and bagel. We had an egg one and a T-Rex. Highly recommend T-Rex if you are a savory fan. read more

No. These bagels are not great. They are mediocre at best. Boston sucks for bagels and these are just more expensive and more difficult to buy than most Note: I didn't get a sandwich- just selected unadorned bagels to bring home. read more

Amazing bagels! Most delicious lox sandwich I have ever had. Easy online ordering and friendly service, too!

The classic jumbo and BLT are delicious!! My favorite breakfast and best bagels in Boston. Plus, the staff are SO friendly and just the best! Love this place read more

I've walked by this place many mornings and there has consistently been a line out the door- I finally know why as I drastically transformed from a lurker of the Bagelsaurus into a full-blown participant of the queue. The wait was well worth it. The establishment is small. If you plan to get a table, make sure you go early. The quality of the food outweighs the size of the restaurant and the wait time. I had the eggspanola which was fantastic. Semi-runny egg, creamy aioli, feta and a gremalota with an addition of avocado to accompany a soft, chewy, warm bagel. Bagelsaurus is a highly recommended bagel shop to check out. I'll be back to try a different bagel! read more

Bagelsaurus - Eggspanola on sea salt bagel - Bagels Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

The bagels were flavorful but were hard as rubber. And these were supposed to be fresh- on a Saturday morning. Super human teeth needed for these bagels. read more

I got a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and it was so delicious, but it's absolutely outrageous to charge $9 for that. Any deli in NY can make one better and sell it for $3. It's a shame because I've been trying to find a good breakfast sandwich place for the weekends near my college town and it's just ridiculously expensive at Bagelsaurus. read more

Best bagels ever, great coffee. Well worth the wait and deliver during the week. Never tasted a bagel anything like this fresh tasty offering from Bagelsaurus, don't be worried about the line if there is one, it moves fast and is worth the wait. Personal favorite is the BLT with avocado, the roasted tomatoes are one of the tastiest item I have ever had, if I could give this place 6 stars I would. read more

I love Bagelsaurus!! Every time I come here I am impressed with the quality of the bagels (great flavor, great chewy texture), and the huge variety of toppings (the honey rosemary cream cheese is a must try!!!). The bagel sandwiches are pretty expensive but I think you get your money's worth because they will absolutely fill your stomach. This is a place I will go back to again and again and recommend to all of my friends!! read more

I had my first Bagelsaurus experience today, and whoah-wowy-wow! As a guy that grew up eating San Francisco sourdough regularly, my first bite into my sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese instantly transported me back down memory lane. What a pleasant surprise to have a sourdough bagel. Who'd have thunk it? Nostalgia aside, the flavor, texture and topping ratio was spot-on, perfection. I'm a Bagelsaurus believer as of today! read more

I love Bagelsaurus!! It's definitely a unique type of bagel with the crackly crust and sourdough flavor, but that's what makes it so delicious to me. The classic jumbo with bacon might be my favorite sandwich (the egg is always cooked perfectly), but all the ones I've tried have been fantastic. The sea salt bagel is heavenly, and the house made almond butter is some of the best I've ever tried. read more

Went here for bagel sandwiches before a baseball game. Had 2 options and split them: - classic jumbo with avocado on a pretzel bagel. The eggs were perfectly cooked for a sandwich and the mustard butter was a great balance to the egg yolk. - hot smoked on a pretzel bagel. Great smoked salmon and the pickled cabbage was a nice twist. Also had a cold brew (delicious) and an oatmeal cookie (great treat). Overall a great experience and worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Would you like to wait in line at 7:45 am, chatting with charming Cantabrigians? If so this is the place for you. The bagels are worth trying. They give your jaw muscles a workout. But after a while they start to feel like leather. The t-shirt is cute. read more

Bagelsaurus, as tiny, busy, and expensive-for-a-bagel as it is, is one of my favorite places to go for breakfast in all of the Boston metropolitan area. It doesn't hurt that there's a bus line, fondly referred to (by me) as the Bagel Bus, that'll take me door to door from my apartment. On a weekend, there is always a line out the door and down the street, but the wait just means there's more time to decide what to get. And between the sandwiches, bagel choices, and spreads this wait is not always a bad thing (I treat every bagel as if it were my last so...you know...lots of ordering pressure). My regular order is the sea salt bagel with honey rosemary cream cheese (it is just SO GOOD), but I've also had the T-Rex, the Hot Smoked, and the Eggspanola. I personally thought the T-Rex was overpriced, and was lacking banana. The other two sandwiches were delicious, though the Hot Smoked was a little heavy on dill the last time I had it. -1 star for price and my T-Rex experience, but I definitely recommend this place otherwise! read more

Yes, a two star review for a place that seems to be highly praised by others. So why the low rating? The bagels are not good, period. Well, I suppose if you happen to like super tough and chewy bagels that might dislocate your jaw, then this might be the place for you. The specials were also short of being special. We ordered the BLT, Hot Smoked, and T-REX sandwiches. Out of the three, I guess the T-REX tasted the best, though it's pretty hard to mess up just slathering almond butter, bacon, and bananas on a bagel. The BLT was rather plain; I had asked for extra avocado and it turned out to be missing from my sandwich. And lastly, the Hot Smoked sammie was completely lathered with an inch of cream cheese and another inch of dill..but no taste of smoked salmon. Pretty rough to eat for $11. Not impressed and definitely not worth the hype. There are many other places to get bagels from - AND you don't have to wait 40 minutes in line. read more

Eggspanola is unreal. Perfect texture and savory flavors -- super worth the weekend wait

The line was out the door which I thought was a great sign! Unfortunately the breakfast sandwiches are not that great. There was way too much cheese on it (not a good cure for a hangover). The bagel itself was extremely good. I just wish I had gotten a bagel with cream cheese rather than one of the sandwiches. read more

I went Friday morning and it was busy but we still got to sit to enjoy our bagel. The service was also fast and everyone working there was nice even though they were so busy! I got a garlic onion bagel with chive cream cheese. The bagel had just the right amount of give and was really chewy. One of the better bagels I've had in my life (I am admittedly very particular about my bagels). My friend got the first sandwich on the menu with ham--I think it would have been better without the ham as it was overall a little salty but good! I definitely plan on going back in the time that I'm here to try their other bagels and sandwiches. There's always a long line extending outside on the weekends so, if you can, I'd swing by on a weekday! read more

The hype is warranted. Very interesting sandwich combos and wide variety of bagel flavors. The bagel itself is solid, but nothing super mind blowing: on average, I'd say a NY bagel is better, but still pretty good. Service was great. Waited in line for about 20 minutes on a Saturday at 11, got there and asked for the cashier recommendation. Got a T-Rex on Sea Salt, crazy mix of flavors -- especially loved the bacon. Would go again, preferably when the line is a little shorter read more

their egg bagle is out of this world.Worth a try. Worth the queue

- BOTTOM LINE: Native New Yorker has one of the best bagels of her life, suffers existential crisis. By far the best bagels in the Greater Boston Area. Lines are long and kind of expensive for a bagel, so this certainly can never be an everyday thing. - THE SPACE: Crowded, especially on weekends. There are a couple of tables for two in the front. If the weather is nice, you'll catch a lot of people squatting outside with cream cheese mouths. Come back on a weekday or later in the day for a less intense crowd, but you run the risk of them selling out 80% of their menu (which is what happened to us). Check their instagram/twitter for updates on their bagel status. - BAGELS: The bagels are crispy on the outside. Moist and chewy on the inside. Once you bite into it the bagel kind of collapses with the cream cheese, and everything just melds together and maybe you black out for a little bit because it's that good. You can go classic or YOLO - we got the sea salt bagel (I was worried it'd be too salty, but it wasn't!) with the honey rosemary cream cheese. We also got the pretzel bagel with scallion cream cheese. Add-ons like the avocados and onions probably aren't necessary, I'd just let the bagel speak for itself. **ALSO you can skip the line (stay on the left) and buy a bag of day old bagels (can't choose flavors) for a cash-only sum (I think $20? $30?). read more

This place has great bagels but honestly Noah's bagels is better. I tried 4 different bagels and one sandwich. They forgot to give us one bagel and had to wait for them to prepare it, glad we checked the bag before we left. The only thing positive I can say is the honey rosemary cream cheese was amazing. read more

Nope. Back to three stars, and here it stays until they figure some stuff out. I've been here many times now, and every. single. time. I see the same laconic, wasted-effort movements. They wait on people out of turn. They ignore people. They put the bagels in a cart directly behind the cashier so you can't really see what they have at any given moment. Literally the only thing you can get that won't take at least 5-10 minutes to show up (i'm on my way to work, people, can you hurry it up? No? Great.) is an unsliced, untoasted bagel, and a 2oz thing of cream cheese, for which you are charged $4.28 before tax and tip. TIP? For getting me a bagel out of a bin? Oh, and if they don't have any more 2oz things of cream cheese, expect a 3-5 minute wait while the extremely lackadaisical sandwich-constructor person finishes whatever she is doing and EVENTUALLY gets around to putting your cream cheese in the wee tub, and wandering over in her own time and giving it to you. Weekdays, it's acceptable to walk by and grab a bagel on your way to the T. Weekends? Forget it. It's an insane asylum. They set this store up all wrong, and while I would hate to see it go under because it's serving delicious bagels, at FOUR DOLLARS A BAGEL i don't see them dying, and since none of their customers seem to mind waiting in line for a half hour to get one, the workers are completely unmotivated to work even a tiny bit faster when there's a line out the door. Very frustrating that they clearly, visibly do not care. read more

Food is delicious! I've had the chicken salad and a breakfast sandwich and both were great! All of the flavors mix together for perfection! I do wish they had a bigger menu though, it is rather small. read more

Absolutely love Bagelsaurus! The owner, Mary, always remembers me and greet me with kindness and respect. The staff is also lovely, and the bagels are the best that I've ever had. I always bring friends and out of town visitors to Bagelsaurus for breakfast and they also love it. Highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Check in. Check out. Walk in, walk out. $4 for a bagel? No thank you. Not in NY, not in Boston, no way no how. $2.50 for a bagel. $1.50 for cream cheese? Not today. Not any day. Bruegger's bagels are around the corner and includes cream cheese for the same price as the bagel alone at bagelsurus. I left the extra dollar I saved by going to Bruegger's as a tip. read more
