Gluten friendly bagels…read more Hear me out here when I say, there are no words to describe how amazing these are. Homemade, scratch bagels, gluten removed, light, fluffy, soft, squishy. I used to be able to eat their regular bagels, but now I'm gluten free, I have an intolerance. My husband and I travel (sometimes very far) in search of the best gluten free products. (We have flown to Nevada, twice, to get our favorite gluten free pizza). I was so excited when I saw that Comfort created a gluten friendly bagel, took the drive to their Westfield location and tried one. I bought a couple to take home incase they were good. I SHOULD'VE BOUGHT THEM ALL OUT FOR THE DAY. Unfortunately I was already on my way home when I realized how delicious they were, but I will now be traveling 30 minutes to Westfield every-time they have a batch out for sale. I had a plain gluten friendly bagel with scallion cream cheese (homemade as well) and it was so delicious, not even overly chewy! You could buy these bagels if you are gluten intolerant and use them as bread. They're perfect. Pictured here is what I bought to take home, gluten friendly Asiago Parmesan bagels and roasted garlic cream cheese. The gentleman working gave me a sample of the cream cheese and it was delicious- had to buy it! They have a LARGE selection of homemade spreads and they have gluten free sesame and everything bagels as well. Trust me when I say RUN, DONT WALK, to get one (or 15) of these GF bagels. They are so worth it. I'd drive hours to get these, I'd probably fly to get them too. Just try one. Thank me later.

Many years later (7 years IS many in my book) and who knew I would find myself back at Tandem…read moreBagel. Reading my old review, I was all about the coffee and breakfast sandwiches and that still holds true, but this most recent trip was a big batch of bagels. As a Jersey girl, my standards are high but Tandem met them all once again. We were stopping by family for breakfast so we preordered a variety bag of a dozen bagels. Everything from salt to French toast was in the mix so there was something for everyone. We also got a tub of the plain cream cheese and a tub of the veggie cream cheese, both were gone almost immediately. We (luckily) preordered ahead of time. If you are stopping by on a weekend morning, this is the way to go. It was a madhouse, and I am sure it moves quick, but it was amazing to just pop in, grab our bag and head out. If you're craving a bagel, this seems to be the place to go.

I inquired about it, and when i explained that that was what i really wanted I was told no, i couldn't switch it So, NOT happy- it's customer service it's a BAGEL and they will be closed soon Not cool Tandem ..... not cool at all I'm a local business manager so I'm familiar with customer service in this climate and sometimes, it's worth it to "swap out a bagel" that I would've even paid for...

The owner is very friendly, and happy to explain all the details of how they are made, etc.

I started the day with a toasted bagel with cream cheese. I thought it was going to be jalapeno cream cheese but it ended up being cream cheese topped with jalapenos. Okay, different but still good. Lunch was a ham and cheese sandwich that was nicely loaded and served with fabulous kettle chips. Filling and inexpensive. Wifi worked well and the place was quiet enough all day that I was able to work easily. A few Zoom calls here and there, comfortable. I would absolutely return to Dam Cafe.

Imagine my surprise when my bagels were toasted, the cream cheese was melted, and I had an oozing disgusting mess to deal with at the park. it was midmorning. The bagels were fresh for the life of me. I cannot understand why toasting would be the default rather than fresh. Or ask your customers if they want it toasted or un toasted.

The quality of the Bagels is the best available in the towns surrounding Hadley. The prep-time was…read morereasonable, and the bagel and coffee was brought to my table. My preference is for the non-whipped cream cheese, because the whipped version made bagel difficult to eat without making a royal mess of yourself. I don't know whether that is an option. The coffee was a little better than that generally available in Western Massachusetts, and didn't necessitate adding cream to make it potable. Do take a detailed look at some of the tables--they may give you ideas for a creative project, and they do add to the general ambiance. I enjoyed the experience and the service, but now I know about their cream cheese, and shall ask to an alternative when I eat there again!

I ended up with an egg and cheese on a bagel and a donut to go....and I could not resist the "Pizza Bomb" they had. I needed to try that! The egg sammy was solid; good bagel, good egg and cheese. Hit the spot! My wife and I ate the donut after I got back home. Delicious! Now the Pizza Bomb. This was unique! It was made with donut dough and had pizza ingredients for the filling (see pics). How did it taste? Picture and old fashioned donut; with a pizza filling. It was a fun thing to heat up and eat! Give this place a try! The vibe alone is worth it. You feel like you are stepping back in time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I'd recommend here vs the ubiquitous chains that dot the local landscape.

My least favorite thing about this sandwich was that it was incredibly dry, you really need the coffee to wash it all down. It had so many elements that should have been moist but all were overcooked so it was just not a $9.00 sandwich. The coffees were delicious. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was sweet and creamy and not too bitter nor too sweet, right in that perfectly balanced spot. My wife got a hot mocha which was chocolatey and yummy, she just wished it had stayed warmer in this cold Massachusetts climate. The coffee price was comparable to what we pay at coffee shops in Seattle. The service was quick and there were lots of different kinds of tables to sit at inside.
