Good bagels. Rude employee. No "hello". No "can I help you?". No "what can I get for ya?" Just a look of disdain. For me? For life? For the job itself? Who knows... I ordered a smoked turkey on a plain bagel with just meat and cheese, to go. Pretty simple. She asked if I wanted it toasted. I said yes and assumed that the whole sandwich would be toasted. Nope. She toasted the bagel, then slapped cold meat and cold cheese on it. I asked if she could toast the sandwich so the cheese would be melted. The only response was another look bordering on an eye roll. Then she put the cheese on a separate plate in the microwave, and then put the semi melted cheese back on the sandwich and wrapped it up. So a toasted bagel, cold meat and microwaved cheese. Is it weird to just want a toasted melty sandwich? I always tip well, even on a to-go order. I just couldn't this time though. I took my sandwich, said "thanks, have a good one!" and left. And somehow I still feel guilty for not tipping. It must be years of experience in the service industry. For a restaurant with 4.5 stars, I expected more. read more

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this but these are the best bagels, by far. If you weren't so far away I'd probably get them more.

Literally the "Best Bagels" and awesome bagel sandwiches. Fast service as well-- a really organized business. Our go to place for breakfast in Georgetown. read more

Best Bagel is truly the best! The bagels are always fresh and I love the huge selection of cream cheeses. They also have a great selection of drinks, especially the strawberry milk which is amazing!! The employees are always very friendly, and talking to them always brightens my day. The sandwiches with lunch meats are my favorite for lunch! read more

I'm thrilled I stopped in a few weeks ago. They live up to their name. I have not found any bagels in the area that remotely compare to these. Fresh fresh, soft inside, slight crunch outside. So many flavors and so many cream cheeses to pick from (lox spread, scallion cc and veg cc all fabulous). The Wild Salmon bagel was my first delicious sandwich. Lemon dill cream cheese was a nice touch. I'm eating my way through the menus. Asiago, veggie spinach bagels were also delicious. Staff are friendly and fast. I don't see me doing business with anyone else after eating here! read more

This place is a gem. The bagels are the closest you'll get to a Brooklyn variety - so warm and chewy. Try the lovely dark rye pumpernickel or the salted bagel. I added a creamy lox spread and...wow! read more

Best Bagel - They are the Best Bagels!!! - Cafes Near Me - Georgetown, Massachusetts

Very good bagels/sandwiches.... Good prices and a convenient drive up window makes it super easy, especially if you're in a hurry.

I love Best Bagel! Their food is always fresh and online ordering for pick up is super easy. I recommend the French toast bagel or with egg and cheese as a sandwich :) 10/10 read more

This place is sensational and SO true to its name. Until recently, I was driving 25 minutes almost everyday to go here (now order half a dozen to have at home to last me the week) and they never disappoint. The coffee is also outstanding! I have never had a more delicious everything bagel until I went here. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE read more

Best bagels around hands down! Love the pumpernickel and wheat. Only wish onion was better.

Bagel selection is great, bagels are great, service friendly. Star is knocked for coffee. It was very watery and shouldn't go for more than $1. Otherwise, I'll be here regularly, I'll just leave time to make coffee at home read more

The name of this bagel joint is spot on. "BEST BAGEL" is exactly what it is. The sandwich specials are unbelievable. The Italian, Cuban, Veggie and smoked salmon are my family's favorites. read more

This is my favorite place to get bagels every since they opened. They are fresh daily boiled bagels just like you get in NYC. They are huge too! Only 1.05 per bagel! They have lots of flavors ranging from cheddar jalapeño to the classic onion. The prices can't be beat. Even by dunks! 4 and change for a large bagel with delicious flavored cream cheese and a medium iced chai tea (they make the best). The breakfast sandwiches are also delicious and they don't use the cheap sliced American cheese or the cheap bagels. You really get more than what you are paying for. I go here at least 3 times a week now if not more because the prices and flavor just can't be beat. read more

Best Bagel - Everything bagel with olive pimento cream cheese. (Took a bite before taking the pic because I couldn't wait lol!) - Cafes Near Me - Georgetown, Massachusetts

This place is a hidden gem of a breakfast or brunch eatery. The bagels are top notch and obviously homemade. The smoothies are fresh and taste spot on to the real fruit flavor, plus they are refreshing and delicious. The service is quick and the staff polite and friendly, both major bonuses. 10/10 will be back. read more

The best bagel I have had outside of NYC. Incredible chew. Remarkably good for an unassuming bagel shop in small town MA. Highly recommend.

Good bagel, and a welcome addition. A little too airy for my tastes, but cream cheeses are excellent! Great 2 egg breakfast sandwiches. Would love for them to get an espresso machine and get more into coffee... read more

Couldn't be more thrilled to have absolutely fresh bagels in Georgetown! We were "frequent flyers" at Bagel World, but this place is as good. They have a variety of flavors and cheeses, and also make bagel sandwiches. The only place they're lacking is maybe something for someone who's not a bagel eater...but it's all good! read more

I usually go to Best Bagel's other location but we were traveling this way and I remembered they have a location in Georgetown and we had to stop. Plenty of parking even on a Saturday morning. No drive-thru like the other location but the line moved fast. Very nice service and a great bagel selection. The bagels are huge which I love. I got an Asiago with veggie cream cheese (only complaint there is it was far too onion-y for me) and also a plain Asiago which we dunked in our soup later and was very nice and filling. I also went with the Hawaiian chocolate coffee. Tasty and they did the cream perfectly. Affordable too and good quality. Worth checking out if you're craving a bagel as the selection is huge! read more

I have been here many times, the bagels are good enough however the service is terrible. They are always very rude. Today I went in around 9:50 and there was a long line. I waited and ordered my bagels, and the lady who took my order had her back to me the whole time. I get it's busy but she didn't even turn around once. Then she asked if there was anything else, and I started to say my coffee order and she raised her voice for the whole store to hear "NO I ONLY DO FOOD YOU TELL THE OTHER LADY" I was so humiliated, I had to walk out of the store. Luckily I was with a friend so they waited for the bagels and ordered the coffees. When she came back to the car she said the same lady was rude to the people behind us too about ordering coffees. Safe to say I will not be returning due to the lack of good service. read more

We love best bagel! We live close by and have gone for breakfast and lunch on many occasions. The staff is efficient and handle a rush well. The coffee is very good as well. The price point is reasonable and the food is fresh! read more

I used to live in Lynnfield and drive to Bagel World. Found Best Bagel and forgot about the other place. Best Bagel has awesome BETTER bagels at a better price and you get smiles and you are in and out quickly. Now I want a bagel!!! read more

Excellent bagel and spread very fresh.. I had an egg bagel ( my favorite and hard to find ) with the pimento olive cream cheese spread.. awesome.. will be back.. They also have many different spreads to choose from. With out a doubt the best bagels around. read more

Fresh bagels, daily specials and normal menu offerings are really good! Highly recommended!

Nice lil breakfast spot. In and out. Food was great. Bagels were excellent and big. Plenty of meat and hot! I want to try the rest of the menu. It's a shame I don't live closer. read more

Clearly the people giving this 5 stars have never had a real bagel. I get it. In Georgetown you very few options. You either have Dunkin or this. Yes, it's better than Dunks but it's mediocre at best. If you get a bagel toasted, it will come out with no color (almost untoasted) so make sure you ask for extra toasted. The bagels themselves are like the wonderbread of bagels - large, airy and not very chewy like a real bagel should be. The cream cheese was good. The egg sandwich my husband got was also mediocre. Kind of dry and overly salty. And very little i. The way if coffee choices. Not worth a trip unless you have no other options (which, if you live in Georgetown, is probably the case). read more

Great bagels! Not quite Bagel World but much better than any other bagels in the area. Definitely recommend!

Best bagels around and so good you will want to eat all day. Unbelievable taste. Just off the hizzy like a bizzy.

Always makes the best bagels. My kids and I favorite spot to go breakfast on Saturday morning.

The service and food are great!!! I always go there die my bagels... best in town. Try them all you won't be disappointed!!!

My review is based on customer service. I get dirty looks and snickering from the two front woman. Not friendly the weekend staff. We've decided to not go because our other bagel place treats you like family. Bagels are yummy! Too bad the staff is not friendly read more

Best, best bagel, coffee and sandwich shop around, period! Not sure what others are saying but the counter staff is great also! Owner is very friendly and has built business in a couple of locations now. Great to see a U.S. small business putting out a great product with great service. I HIGHLY recommend BEST BAGEL - GEORGETOWN and MIDDLETON. read more

Best bagel place around! Love this place and have been many times ! Comparable to bagel world but generally less busy. Definitely would recommend ! read more

The bagels are fresh. They have a wide selection of sandwiches. The staff is so friendly. Get my yummy ice coffee every morning!!!

I live a few houses up from Best Bagel in Georgetown. I work from home and (like many in the neighborhood) would probably go to this place every day if it weren't for the two women working the counter (10/10/19 11:00 am for ownership reference). They behave like they are competing in some sort of teenage snark-off. They were so rude I thought I might be the victim of a hidden camera prank. Sadly I wasn't (I love Impractical Jokers). When I returned home I told my wife about the ordeal and she told me she knew exactly who I was talking about, and had similar experiences with them. I know that ownership has seen the negative feedback regarding these two..here and on social media. Yet they continue to work there... so I can only assume they are family. If they are, I'll say they reflect very poorly on the family. If they aren't, I'd ask why are they still employed here? Is help that hard to find? Why would you keep employees that treat your customers (your livelihood) with contempt? At least tell them to save the snide remarks and eye-rolls for their (probably miserable) parents. read more

It's a miracle. Not fluffy Lenders-style rolls, but actual, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside bagels. Great flavor--especially the garlic bagels, which are the closest thing to a genuine garlic bagel I've had outside NYC. read more

My every morning bagel place, jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. I'll drive out of my way before work to grab a bagel from Best Bagel. read more

My wife and are long time patrons of the competitive Bagel World and have been depressed as to the lack of viable bagel options in and around the Boxford area (we just moved here). We were delighted to find Best Bagel on Yelp and thought we would give them a try. The store was very clean, the service was prompt and professional, and the bagels were great. They are not as sweet as those from Bagel World (who we still view as #1) but they are a strong local contender. They only just opened a couple of months ago so they may need to work out some of the suggestions from the other reviews but c'mon, they are a local business with a nice offering. Worth a try if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Seriously, I echo the sentiment "best bagel outside of NYC" and I'm not from NYC. Food is fresh, service is fast and cheerful. (and I'm pretty picky about both of those things!) read more

Ok, I'm not usually one to write Yelp reviews, however in this case, I feel that I must: hands down, the best bagels I've ever had. Always fresh. Cream cheese is amazing. Even their coffee is pretty good. But seriously, the bagels are outstanding, to the point that it actually doesn't make sense how good they are. Everything with cream cheese, or everything with bacon, egg and cheese is my usual go to. Staff is super nice as well. I probably need to seek help for my growing bagel addiction due to this place. read more

Great bagels, very fresh and cream cheese is good too. The prices are also really good, definitely the best place around to get a dozen or so bagels. The sticky buns are wicked good too! read more
