I've been a customer of Bodacious for years. The staff is friendly and fast at putting the order together. The bagels are the best I've ever had!! The choices of cream cheese, heaven! Coffee is very good. But be aware that they open at 6a.m. ,and if you wander in on a Saturday or Sunday after 11 a.m., expecting to see every kind of bagel available, you'll be disappointed, as the place is so popular. I've moved from Ashland, but now make a 45 min drive, every couple of months or so, to shop for friends and family. I call a day or two ahead and the 3 dozen bagels are waiting at the requested time. My personal favorite is the "everything" bagel. read more

Nice staff, but arguably the most overpriced and basic sandwich I can ever remember buying. I understand times are hard, but couldn't believe it. read more

The best bagels my family and I have ever had. Fantastic. Now my friends are shopping there as well. The sandwiches are enough for two people. Also, fresh and delicious. We love the turkey and avocado club. read more

I think Bodacious Bagel has the best bagels I have ever had. The service is great as is all the other food options available.

Bagels are good but it has gotten very expensive. They used to be $4 with cream cheese and now is over $6. Dunkin's is closer to $3, lesser quality but half the price. read more

PRO: Bagels are fantastic and worth the extra money. CON: Hands off the ridiculous 200%-300% overpriced creme cheese and pastries. read more

Good first experience to this bagel spot in Ashland. Came in around 11am on a Saturday. The restaurant is decently sized and there appears to be enough seating for 20-30 people, which is more than most bagel places I've experienced. Took me a minute to figure out the ordering system (order bagels to the right, coffees to the left), but straightforward enough. The bagels were very tasty and the coffees were solid. I'll certainly stop by again. read more

For Massachusetts, these are excellent bagels! They even have whitefish salad Once after complimenting the cute gingerbread man, the ladies sent one home with our cute ginger boy. read more

I've been coming here for years. The bagels are fresh, delicious and they're baked the old fashioned way, in kettles. And I'm from NY. The toppings are very generous on both sides. Most bagel places in New England only give a small amount of toppings on only one side... The staff is always nice. Show up early for fresh bagels or they might run out of your favorites by the time you get there. Sure the prices have gone up over the years but IMO Bodacious is the best bagel joint in the area by far. read more

Love this place! Their prices and product is so good! I really like the fact that they make their own bagels and cream cheese. You can actually watch a video, about how they make the bagels. This operation carries on behind the scenes of the shop. The shop is large, well staffed and the menu is extensive- there's something for everyone. Wraps and other sandwiches are also available, along with home made pastries. The bagels really are the best in town! I highly recommend that you try them! read more

I love this place's homemade bagels and cream cheese! My favorite spread would be the salmon lox which perfectly pairs with their everything bagel. The bagels have a great balance of density, flavor and chewiness. Definitely going back to try more! Support your small businesses!! :D read more

I like the bagels a lot - I really do. Recently I went, they have a newer system that they flip the screen at you to pay and optionally tip. This time they didn't flip the screen. I paid and left. A couple hours later I got an email that my payment was updated and they tipped themselves 25% on my order. I think this is illegal, and it is without a doubt immoral. I was upset by this. read more

Service was so horrible I just threw my bagel in the trash. I don't care if it even tastes good, I'd rather eat from McDonalds. This was my FIRST time at this establishment. The online menu is slightly different. I was trying to order what I saw online, and apparently the name is completely different on the inside chalkboard menu. I was given a bunch of attitude for a mistake THEY made. Never coming here ever again, and suggest no one else does either. read more

Been really disappointed with this place recently. Today we got bagels and they put barely any cream cheese on them. They charge $1.50 for the spread. I would expect a much more generous portion. read more

Bodacious Bagel - $1.50 worth of cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Ashland, Massachusetts

Had a great first experience here. Sure, it's not a Manhattan eatery, but a really good bagel with lox and shmear also didn't cost over $20. Capers, shmear, a surprisingly generous helping of lox, on a delicious toasted bagle, in a lovely, small upstate town; it was excellent and well worth the cost. I must have missed the breakfast crowd as I only had one person ahead of me. While there was only one woman working behind the counter, she was pleasant and worked with skill and speed. Again, it's not some stylish joint in the city, but I personally did not find it dirty in any way. It's a little crowded, but there are decent seats around a few tables. The décor is very simple: refurbished and painted upstate farmhouse. The cappuccino was absolutely fine. Would order both bagel and espresso drink again. Have not tried eggs or other things! read more

Horrible service. Food is ok but they are rude. They made me a coffee and it was very dark I had 2-3 sips but it was too dark and I asked for a little more cream. She gave it back white. I brought it back up and said this is too much cream and she poured out an inch and filled it back with coffee and it was still white. I said can I just have a new coffee and she was clearly mad. Gave me a new coffee in a 12 oz cup when I had a 24 oz coffee. I said I'd like the same size coffee I paid for. She refused and got yet another cup and made me another coffee that was pure white. I am not picky about the cream content. I have a pretty wide range of additive I'll tolerate but I don't know how they screw up that bad. I had also tipped them before all this for the pleasure of her attitude. I'll never go back. read more

I've been a regular at this cafe, enjoying their food and service for the last 2.5 years. I usually order a Lox bagel during my morning visits. On a recent visit, with only two other customers in line behind me, the staff refused to take my order in a rude way, telling that they could only prepare breakfast bagels due to being busy. It would have been more appropriate for the staff to offer a polite explanation or suggest an alternative solution, such as an estimated wait time for my usual order. Good customer service is about managing expectations and maintaining courtesy even during busy times. "Good manners cost nothing. Bad manners can cost you your reputation." read more

To me this place has the best ever onion bagel. The place is well run. Service is fast and professional. There are a LOT of onion sprinkles on these bagels with great onion flavor. While the 10 of onion bagels for me will always be the ones from the long gone Eagermans in Natick, these are a solid 9.5 in my book. Brueggers rates 8.5 and Finagle gets a 3 bc of thier skimpy almost non existent amount of onion. FYI. Pastors and coffees are excellent here too! read more

Product is good not bodacious...but it has the potential to be. People are good. But whenever you get to the Asian man- things start to unravel. Whether he's putting too much cream in your coffee or slowing the line at the register...it will unravel. If he is the owner, he has good staff. Let the people work. read more

Friendly staff. Amazing bagels!! Love the cream Cheese. Anyone who says they have attitude issues has likely never worked in the food industry read more

If you like microwaved eggs and terrible customer service, this is your place. I went here on Friday in search of a breakfast sandwich for my husband and I. The little girls behind the counter would rather gossip than take your order, when I tried to add something to my order she rolled her eyes and told me I had to get back in line to finish my order! Last time I'll go here. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. bagels taste like your eating stale cardboard, absolutely disgusting. employees are extremely rude and nickel and dime you for every thing possible. take the extra 10 minutes and drive to Cafe Fresh Bagels in Framingham, the bagels there are incredible and staff is always beyond pleasant and professional. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT BODACIOUS BAGELS. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM! read more

I come to Bodacious Bagel at least 4 times a month possibly more. The employees are always so kind and accommodating. They remember my typical bagel orders as well as my iced coffee order. Sometimes I wonder how they can take multiple peoples orders at once and remember who ordered what and what cream cheese on what bagel etc! I love boiled then baked bagels which can be hard to find. The staff always asks about my toddler son and how he is doing and are so kind to him when he comes with me, plus they always remember my order. The owner is wonderful to us as well and always takes a few moments to chit chat with me. Love this bagel shop! read more

Bodacious bagel has great NY style bagels. They have a quiet little cafe with the best bagels in Ashland for sure!

Bagels outstanding. Miami spread Immaculate. Need say no more. Keep up the great work.

Clean, friendly staff, easy parking, great bagels which are made fresh onsite. Try the Miami spread!

I only stopped at this place because of the awesome name. The bagel (pumpernickel) was promptly toasted, and was delicious. Iced coffee was a little sweet. Bodacious! read more

I'm from New York. I know bagels. The secrets to good bagels: a) boil and then bake b) crispy on the outside soft but not gooey on the inside - mostly a result of boiling and then baking c) ample toppings...especially on everything and onion bagels d) they come from NY. Bodacious Bagels are really good bagels - they consistently deliver a-c. These are the best bagels in the area and if you can't get to the store they are also sold at Red Barn coffee shops. read more

The best around and coffees good too! If you show up early you can see them making all of the bagels and just smell the goodness from the parking lot. The Asiago bagel is to die for, but get there early or you might miss it, they do sell out ! read more

I really love this place, for bagels anyway. Coffee is okay, dunkies style but better, to me. I usually only come here for bagels, and they are truly yummy. They bake them every day on premises. When I come here at 6am before work, I can see the baker doing his thing, and of course I get the delicious, warm bagel. They have a lot of options, my faves are the multi-grain and pumper-nickle. They also have a variety of cream cheeses to choose from. During lunch time they also make wraps and sandwiches. I've only had the turkey wrap before and it was pretty good. Can't really speak for anything else. Overall, for bagels, this place is really great. read more

Good bagels, eat them while they are fresh. If you get them in the afternoon, they've been out all day and are prone to getting a little harder faster. Quick service. One star removed due to not keeping the racks full through the early afternoon. Try their specialty cream cheese! A little pricey, but always good. read more

Bagels are good, Staff is Horrible. They are either on there personal phone calls or ignore you. They hate toasting bagels for customers and if you ask to toast it it won't be it will be cold read more

Best bagels we are from Long Island and compare to Hauppauge there n H&h in Manhattan. Great coffee too. Plenty parking and they have home made other goodies read more

We've lived in the area for years and never knew this place was here. It was really mentioned to us by a friend and we stopped in today. Simple decor - super clean - friendly service! Bagels were delicious- we had bacon egg & cheese on them, tasty, made quickly. Paired with a couple of iced lattes it was a great breakfast! We'll definitely be back for lunch sometime! read more

Today was my first visit to Bodacious Bagel as I live about 45 minutes away, but I have been eating their delicious bagels for many years. I had coworkers who would bring them to work on Fridays and this made them my favorite coworkers! Unfortunately, both of these lovely people left the company and now I have no one to bring me these bagels. Today, I drove to visit one of my old coworkers who lives in Ashland. We decided to try the new Bagel Table in town. I didn't realize at the time that their bagels are not made on the premises. They were disappointing. So after our breakfast, I drove a couple of miles down the road to Bodacious Bagel so I could buy a dozen to bring home and stash in my freezer. Having grown up in NJ, I am a huge bagel snob. Here's why I like Bodacious Bagels so much. They are dark and crusty on the outside. They have a VERY generous amount of seeds and toppings on BOTH sides of the bagel (the Everything are my favorite, followed by Onion, then Sesame). The inside of the bagel is dense, bready and flavorful, no hint of sweetness. And their cream cheeses are amazing, too. I mean, Miami cream cheese? It's a mix of the best kinds of cream cheeses - lox and scallion! So good! I've never tried anything else on the menu so I can't speak to anything but the bagels, but really, that's all I'm interested in, and they are some of the best I've had in Massachusetts. read more

Bodacious Bagle June 10, 2019 Paper menu / online menu really old & outdated No soups No sandwich special No fountain drinks Ladies room had No toilet paper No paper towels Had to ask for mayonnaise for my BLT, one slice of thin bacon for the whole sandwich. No chips given to us Ice came from a bucket sitting on a chair No senior citizens discount though we were obviously eligible. Price of meal was higher then menu stated. They did say prices subject to change without notice. They did change by $.50 per sandwich. Woman working there just had a blank face / look each time I spoke about the the different problems/concerns. No manager there No tip given to them, the nerve they'd ask when paying bill. People came, probably not repeat customers. Today was the first & last time I'll go there. read more

I've been a customer of Bodacious Bagel almost from the time it opened years ago. For New York style bagels, this is the place to get them --- fresh made on the premises and a good selection of savory and sweet (also plain). Excellent quality meats for sandwiches, chilled beverages and coffee. read more

You can not go wrong by starting your day with a bagel from bodacious bagel. I usually get the Asiago bagel with scallion cream cheese and it is amazing. It's always really quick service too! If you want your pick of bagels make sure you get there early as the popular ones sell out first. read more

What we got was good. Unfortunately, none of us received what we ordered. When I was there, one person took one order, made one sandwich, and then went on to the next customer. They don't write down the orders. Even if there's a small number of people there, service backs up, and it seems to be more challenging to handle the orders accurately. Of the three sandwiches we ordered: - The first was missing one of the requested ingredients. - The second was on the wrong kind of bagel. - The third was the right bagel, but the wrong spread. The quality of the food is great, but if you want to get what you ordered, check what they serve you carefully. On other item of note -- both of us that ordered coffee commented on it being REALLY good. read more
