I tried Bagelworks in my quest to somehow find a decent bagel in South Florida and I drove to their location out west and after one visit I've concluded that I have to keep on trying. Before reviewing the bagels there were already a few negatives about Bagelworks and they include; A line that is a little unorganized. And the store while not dirty, looks disheveled with no attention given at all to aesthetics. Okay I could deal with an ugly store out west (relative to where I live) and with unorganized queues but the bagels were just not worth it. They lacked NYC texture and consistency and were more bread like than authentic NY bagels. These bagels were not only not chewy and not airy but they also didn't have the right subtle blend of sweetness and saltiness. I also tried a Lox sandwich and this was almost as disappointing as the bad bagels. I'm not expecting Zabar's (and I didn't pay Zabar's prices) but I didn't expect the commercial grade salmon either. I love South Florida and I certainly do not miss the unethical and heartless politics of New York but I really miss NYC bagels. read more

It's my favorite .. and I gotta repeat --- staff is over the top wonderful! read more

Great menu. Very good portions. Had a signature tuna melt that was basically 2 full portions. The BLAT was more super huge. read more

Horrible customer service, rude people working there. I used to love this store. I am sorry it had become this awful. Also my Nova sandwich was bad, I couldn't even taste the salmon because it was so little in the sandwich. read more

Great whitefish salad and baked salmon salad. We enjoy the belly lox (different than nova) with veggie cream cheese on a whole wheat sunflower seed bagel. Bagels are hot! Quick friendly service read more

Best Bagel in Boca and we have tried them all! And besides the bagels their food is excellent. We usually have breakfast Omelets, Bacon, lox and bagels , you name it we have ordered it. The food always comes out of the kitchen exactly as you ordered it, perfect! Service is great and the servers are always happy to serve you. Always with a smile. They also all help each other and you don't find that at many places. My only wish is that I could order my take home bagels at the table and not have to wait in line to do that before or after we eat. We never leave without bagels. read more

Honestly I continue to give this place chances and they continue to disappoint me. Not only is their customer service absolute garbage but they cannot get an order right for anything!! I literally said very clearly as I understand this can be an easy mistake: "Bacon and Cheese on an Everything bagel. Do NOT put egg please, I cannot eat egg" Guess who gets to work with her to-go order and finds egg in her sandwich? Me, and I am DEATHLY allergic to eggs. Customers shouldn't have to check every order that's to-go. They should be able to trust that it's right. So thanks for ruining my breakfast and causing me to starve all day at work and almost killing me! Saddest part is this is the 3rd time I've had a bad experience here. I know it's a local favorite so I try to give it another chance but they have lost my business and those who are close to me's business for life. Peace out read more

Bagelworks - Literally disgusting there's cheese and egg melted everywhere and I'm allergic to egg. - Bagels Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I haven't had a chance to sit down for breakfast or lunch, my experience only has been with counter service. Hands down the BEST bagels, dare I say even better than a couple NY-best bagel joints. My go-to is everything bagel, toasted with veggie cream cheese. They do give you a generous portion of cream cheese, so if you're like me, get it on the side. I also like the slight crunch of the bagel bite against the smooth texture of cream cheese, so on-the-side is definitely the way to go. read more

Consistently great food and service from Bagelworks. We've been going for years and it never disappoints. Bagels are always perfect and fresh. Deli food is delicious. Great for dine in or takeout. read more

Awful service. Didn't feel welcome, when being seated the hostess pointed to a booth and the proceeded to throw our menus onto the table without another word. Server spent no time at out table, we only saw her when she took our order or when she was picking up our plates. Had a very unpleasant disposition. Flavorless food (see attached receipt to see what we ordered). The only positive...the only reason why we are giving a star is for the cleaning staff because they were lovely people. read more

Bagelworks - What we ordered - Bagels Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Pricy for a sandwich, but you get a good value here. I got the Turkey roast a turkey on an everything bagel and it was about a foot high - OK maybe not quite a foot but it was so big with lots and lots of meat lettuce -- tomato and onion if you want added for free! I chose to get a can of soda which is $2.49 -- a little pricey but it was ice cold and they had Coke zero my favorite. Great for a quick takeout or they do have a nice dining area as well. read more

They don't wear masks. Not one person behind the counter preparing cold foods had one on. Sad that the owner comes on here and denies it. Update: Yes, Robert, my eyes were wrong and I'm a liar. Thanks for the gaslighting. I've been eating at Bagelworks for over 20 years. Sad to see the customer service has gone to hell with your ownership. Good luck. read more

waitress was awesome, so kind and on top of things. Restaurant was dirty and run down, windowsill had a bunch of dead flies and dust on it. Bathrooms were gruesome even just to wash my hands. Food was bland and terrible. Bagel was so chewy and stale, matzo ball soup was so bland, literally zero taste. White fish was soooooo salty, fries didn't even have salt. Coleslaw was inedible. Completely disappointed, complete waste. read more

One of my friends recommended this place to go to lunch so we decided to give it a shot! I got the hot pastrami that was with Swiss cheese and grilled onions on a flat bread. It was great quality as well as quantity of meat, but I felt like it lacked a bit of sauce or perhaps needed some extra cheese. Still was a good sandwich although I preferred the matzo ball soup with noodles that was delicious. My friend got a Caesar salad which he said was very good and my boyfriend said they had one of the best bagels in town. Next time I think I would do the matzo ball soup with a bagel instead or ask for more sauce/cheese. The service was quick and it was pretty cheap as well especially for the quality. Our waitress was nice and polite despite it being super busy which I appreciated. Try to get here before the lunch crowd or you may have to wait in a pretty long line. I will be back here for sure (and I'll come early again!) thank you! read more

Superb bagels, great spreads to put on them, wonderful service, and inexpensive - plus a huge menu of everything imaginable for breakfast, brunch, and lunch - what more might you want? My personal favorite is the "Works." A bagel of my choosing, two side salads, three toppings, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, cream cheese of my choice, olives - I always have leftovers to take home. Add an extra bagel and an extra spread for my wife, and there is plenty for two. Kristen was our delightful and efficient server. The bill is small and free parking is readily available. read more

Bagelworks is my favorite bagel place in America (and I have had quite a few bagels in my 30 years). Everytime we come down to Boca it's a must have. This time, due to covid I ordered a dozen bagels and two schmears to go (via their website). I believe they have curbside but I ran in and they were very prompt and quickly got me my order. They have bar none the best tuna and egg salad i have ever had. Their bagels are more on the 'doughy' side so I get them double toasted. My mom likes that you can get a scooped out bagel to save calories. I'm not at that point yet but I guess it's a good option. I promise you that you cannot go wrong getting either their tuna or egg salad. If I had a gun to my head I'd pick the tuna salad but I'd probably ask the assailant if they could also get me a pound if egg salad to go. read more

Ali G. Gets 5 stars; 4 stars for food and ambiance. Bagels are fresh; chicken is DRY and salmon salad is so salty that it could be used to feed deer. Coffee is fine, not outstanding but it is fresh and warm. Bagels are the best here! Tuna is legendary. read more

The waitress was nice. The place was clean. The food was tasteless. The coffee was fair at best. The prices are higher than most in area. I won't be back. read more

Best bagel on South Florida. Great deli salads and breakfast specials. My favorite deli in Florida

My first time ever getting bagel with lox and I'm glad to say it was very good! The bagel was fresh the cream cheese was fluffy and smooth. Next time I will get more capers as the fish needs saltiness to bring out the flavors more. Over all good experience fast service and clean location read more

I went with a friend, the restaurant was busy. Our service was brief encounters with our server. I ordered a BLT, when it arrived the bacon was cold. The experience was OK, but I have been to better delis. read more

If you take people in a line, you shouldn't help someone at the end of the line and help them before people who were standing in line, that's a bit of discrimination and playing favorites. Especially when it's a male waiter helping a woman customer who was literally last in line read more

Went today with a friend for lunch. It was very busy staff was very nice but service was slow phone continue to ring with nobody a I had a egg sandwich they were out of croissants and bagel was OK read more

Food is delicious, they serve illy coffee which is awesome and the staff is incredibly nice. It's a pleasure to there! Thank you!

Bagelworks tuna is the very best anywhere, and their bagels are amazing! The service is always top notch! Matt shared his great business sense with generosity and kindness during a recent visit, when a small clerical error was found. He fixed it promptly! Thanks Matt. We will BE BACK SOON! read more

The food was excellent. Lox was great. The service by Bonnie was excellent. I highly recommend this place. The bagel was one of the best.

The best Nova in Boca. Bagels are great & so is everything else Staff is always so nice Great place read more

A great deli. Love especially breakfast and their tuna. The service is great and friendly, the food consistent and good. Not fancy and no fancy prices --don't believe me check out the parking lot. Usually busy so get there earlier than you want to eat as you might have a wait ahead of you. Usually get bagels at the take - out line, really great! read more

Yummy food. Excellent breakfast. Super service. Best restaurant table service coffee in Boca. Ali G. - thanks for your smiling morning service and helping me get out of the pre-coffee morning fog. We think Bagel works is a great place. Did I mention deliciously prepared food? D&D Boca read more

Great breakfast and lunch spot off of exit 75 on the N. Turnpike. This is a pretty large space with plenty of out door seating as well. They are clean all around. I especially appreciate the new and clean condiment bottles. It doesn't look like the refill them which is great news because rarely anyone FIFOs condiments. The menu is huge and a little difficult to read but we each found something we liked. They offer everything you can imagine; bagels, toast, eggs, pancakes, waffles, french toast, sandwiches, panini, salads, bound salads, pastries and more. Helen was very attentive and super fast. A little odd to say but their diet coke tastes EXACTLY like the one at Disney. Soda aficionados will understand. ;) read more

I love the food at Bagelworks! They have delicious, fresh salads and the best tuna anywhere. Their bagels are great and the nova is on point!! The staff is very friendly and always get the order right! read more

This was my 2nd bad experience in my last 2 visits. I've been coming to BagelWorks for over 30 years, and usually pretty good all over experience, however, last week I ordered eggs and when I got them, they looked as if they were cooked on a dirty grill (they were dark colored - brownish) and not tasty. Then, this past Friday, we went for breakfast, and the place was filthy with flies....they need to do something about that, and my hot pastrami was "luke-warm" pastrami.....slipping. read more

I'm sorry Ally I know this is not your fault and you are still my favorite. But bottomline, you can't get food the way you want anymore from Bagelworks. I ordered an omelette with cheese and bacon and a side of home fries (the service is great and they always remember our orders. We don't even need to ask) Servers like Ally are why we are regulars. The wait staff is excellent. For years you could cut the omelette in half and take it home for lunch on a bagel. Lately the omelettes are so small and made like scrambled eggs with ingredients added it's just sad. My omelette today only had cheese and bacon in a small part. If I'm paying for something then I'd like it included in my meal. Today I asked them to please remake the omelette the way I normally get it. However, they had a new manager who was giving our favorite waitress Ally pushback for trying to get my meal fixed and a hard time because the food the kitchen sent out wasn't good and poorly prepared. I rarely send back food as I don't like to waste anything and am happy as long as the food is edible. However, I've never encountered a manager giving so much pushback about remaking food. What a horrible experience and not the way to treat a customer, especially on Father's Day. The manager didn't care, didn't apologize, didn't even come out of the kitchen to look me in the eyes. They would rather give our waitress a hard time than fix my meal correctly. The customer is always right and for a waitress to have to argue with a manager to remake an omelette is shameful. You need to retrain or replace that new manager. To argue rather than give you what you pay for is sad. I love the waitstaff but the new management will lose Bagelworks many regulars like me. I'm not coming back here if that manager is going to continue to ruin my meals. It's not worth the aggravation. I took my dad out for Father's Day breakfast and had nothing but a serving of aggravation. Finally they remake the omelette and it came out with ingredients I never asked for and what I did order was barely included. I simply ordered an omelette. If I could give less than one star I would because of the management and aggravation caused to myself, my dad, and the amazing wait staff. They don't deserve pushback from management for making sure the food comes out correctly. This WAS MY FAVORITE WEEKLY BRUNCH SPOT. Not anymore read more

I'm there a minimum of 4 times a week either by myself or with other people, I mostly sit in a booth by myself an I'm in and out in 20 minutes, if it's crowded I will sit at counter, today I went in and there was no one waiting and 4 open booths and the guy would not let me sit in a booth even though it wasn't busy and I do all the time, I will not go back to this establishment based on the way I was treated and will not recommend this place read more

Great fresh food and fast service. Easy location to get to and you also get SkyMiles for dining there.

Bagel works is a go to for me not only because its around the corner from where I live but the food is always good! Today I ordered Matzo Brie and an iced coffee. The portion of eggs was huge and the coffee was fresh. My mom got scrambled egg with oatmeal and a bialy. She enjoyed hers as well. Not only is the food good but the service is quick and the staff is friendly. They make you feel right at home when you eat there! Depending on ones opinion the extremely long line clearly shows the food is good but be prepared for a bit of a wait. read more
