Everything Bagel with Egg + Cheese
Connie L.

OMG their bagel sandwiches are so delicious & filling. Each one is made to order and they have a huge variety of add-ins & bagels to choose from. This everything bagel sandwich definitely made my morning with how yummy it was. I mean, a fluffy bagel with delicious egg and an insane cheese pull. What's not to like? I tried their Strawberry Frosted Donut too, but it fell a little short for me. It just tasted a bit dry and flavorless despite having so much topping. The bagels were far better than the donuts imo. In terms of timing, would definitely recommend coming bright & early (8AM) so you can get what you want before they sell out. Even during the early hours, the staff are so friendly & helpful. Overall, they're a fantastic breakfast spot in Davis Square.

Onion bagel with Pastrami and Swiss

It's my second time coming here and it's still so good. I love their onion bagel and pastrami. I wanted to try the Garlic bagel but it gets sold out so fast. They have a variety of bagels and one day, I will try them all. The service is fast, but also efficient. Everything was cooked well and tasty. There is a seating area upstairs and the place is always packed.

Love this place! The bagels are great quality and so fresh! Quick service as it always seems to be busy! I got the egg and cheese on an onion bagel and also tried a chocolate sprinkle doughnut! No pictures of the food, couldn't wait to eat them!

Spicy Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Asiago
Lina L.

Although there is a noticeable line, it moved relatively fast as people constantly came in and out. I decided to order the Spicy Sausage, Egg, & Cheese sandwich on an asiago bagel with cheddar. They made each order fresh and will call your name when it is ready. While there is seating available upstairs, my friends and I decided to eat at a local park. The sandwich was sliced in half and was packed with a good amount of food. The bagel was more on the fluffy side. Surprisingly, there is not much chew to it. The sausage was not that spicy, and the egg was fine. It was quite a filling breakfast for $8 which is not too bad.

Blueberry Old Fashioned Glazed

Solid doughnuts and bagels. If you love a classic doughnut, this is the place. They have both cake and yeast options and a few fun flavors like strawberry fruity pebbles and maple glazed with bacon. By the time we got there by noon, a lot of the options were gone though. We also got the salmon lox bagel. Warning - the salted bagel does come loaded with salt. You get a lot of lox and cream cheese as well so it gets real messy but it's a tasty mess.

Boston Cream, Jelly, Nutella, Oreo Cookie
Stacey T.

Best donuts I've had in the Boston area! You can order ahead for takeout, but not on the same day over the weekends. We didn't realize it until pretty late so we paid a premium to order pickup through GrubHub (each donut is $0.75 more). Nothing grinds my gears more than paying these markups and service fees, but it was worth it. We ordered Boston Cream, Jelly, Nutella and Oreo Cookie. The Oreo was good, but didn't fit my fancy. The others were all really good! A nice, soft dough with traditional fillings. I was so pleased that it didn't have that oily-fried-greasy flavor that so many others donut shops have. Also, they didn't try to make donuts "artisan" (looking at you, Blackbird). The donuts are so substantially sized that they could use a bit more filling to improve the ratio, because it's all about the ratios haha If only they delivered (we're out of the delivery zone, even through GH). Looking forward to trying other flavors next time.

Boston cream donut
RoseAnna F.

I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a Boston cream donut. Both were fabulous and both were the size of my freaking face! I'll be dreaming about this donut for years to come. The inside was clean and the employees were kind. I got there shortly after they opened and was able to sit upstairs and enjoy breakfast.

Somerville donut
Alice K.

Bit of a line at 9am Friday. Only one cashier (rest busy preparing bagel sandwiches), and one guy ahead had a big order, waited 15 minutes... The Somerville cream and strawberry shortcake (seasonal) donuts caught my eye. Shortcake was $4.50, which seemed steep for a donut, so opted for the Somerville cream $2.75. I've heard of Boston creme (pie), never Somerville cream, so was curious. Somerville cream has strawberry cream cheese inside with graham cracker crust topping, yeasty type donut. I split with a friend and the cream just oozed out (kinda like Pepto bismol - not most appealing color). Sweet like all typical donuts.

DSDB cubano bagel
Nino E.

I had the DSDB cubano and smoked salmon (lox) bagels. The DSDB cubano is interesting- i recommend it if you're a meat lover. I had the lox bagel with the honey cream cheese. My girlfriend was not a fan, but I really liked the sweetness it brought. I would definitely come back to have the lox bagel with honey cream cheese- and try something else along the way. I was only there for a short period of time- i came in at 10:30am on a Thursday. It looked like seating inside was unavailable (it was blocked off). My order came out at around 7-10mins. The cashier and cook were pretty nice; someone tipped and the cook gave him something for free, although I'm not sure what was inside (he asked if they liked salmon, and gave them a box of something). Overall this is a great local neighborhood bagel joint that im happy is by davis Square.

Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel
Sean J.

Stopped in for some bagel sandwiches. Definitely one of the better bagels I've had in a while. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a cheddar and jalapeño bagel. I added a bunch of veggies because why not? I liked the variety of toppings they had available, definitely different from other bagel spots I've been to. The sandwich overall was very good. I also tried the PB&J doughnut. It was good but I wouldn't say I loved it. They have a bunch of different doughnuts beyond that of the traditional spread, so I look forward to trying a different one when I go back As for the service, it was okay. It did take some time to get our to-go orders and I wouldn't say the staff was super friendly, but it was quite busy so probably best to give them the benefit of the doubt. The prices are on par for the area- fairly expensive but nothing out of the ordinary.

Do they use lard, or any other kind of fat derived from animal parts, to make their donuts?

Hello, We use soybean oil to fry our donuts.

I ordered the Eggspanola and it was so delicious. I'm really not sure what it was, maybe the spread, maybe the egg, maybe the sauce?? Made it so delicious. I was going to save my sandwich but I quickly devoured half and ate the other half later. Will be back if I'm ever in the area.

The blueberry bagel I had that day was absolutely superb, probably the best blueberry bagel I've ever had in Boston. A few days later, I craved that same blueberry bagel and made the trip back, which is a considerable drive for me. Upon arrival, I was told that blueberry bagels are not offered every day and are only available on Thursdays. I returned the following Thursday, but the experience was very different. I got blueberry, poppy, and a few other bagels to take home. Unfortunately, all of them were absolutely disappointing. They tasted extremely off and very different from the blueberry bagel I had previously. At home, my family ate about half of what we purchased, but none of us had any desire to finish the rest. Overall, the experience was unpleasant, and the bagels were not enjoyable at all. The blueberry bagel from my first visit looked and tasted amazing and was completely different in quality from what I received on my second visit. On top of that, the person behind the counter seemed careless with hygiene, touching the screen, bagels, and other surfaces without any apparent attention to cleanliness. It felt like a completely different place compared to my first visit just a couple of weeks earlier. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed.

The space is pretty tight and it was really busy when I showed up but absolutely cleared out as I sat down to eat. I ordered a cold brew, which was a bit watery, but I like it super dark so it's probably just my taste preference. They put the milk/cream in for you and you pick the coffee up in a separate spot from the food. They call your name for both pickups. For food I got the devilled egg open face bagel that has bacon on top on a whole wheat everything bagel. Eating it was intense. I couldn't put it down once I picked up each side and had to be very careful not to spill the egg mixture off the top. It took a while to eat but was amazingly delicious and exactly what I wanted. I would eat it everyday if I could. If it came with micro greens on top, it would be even better. The mixture had red onions which gave it a punch and crunchy texture. I considered adding salt to the mixture on top but I'm glad I didn't because the bagel itself had sea salt so each bite was salty enough. When I ordered I asked if I could also get 2 bagels to bring home and I was told the limit is 1 on weekends and 2 during the week. The manager (I assume) stepped in and said I could have 2 so I chose the rosemary sea salt, which the only have on weekends. I made breakfast sandwiches on them the next day and it was heavenly. This is a spot to check out!

I came again, this time for my parents to try…read more Favorite: I arrived a bit late, and the Everything Bagel was sold out, so I chose a similar Whole Wheat Everything Bagel, but it was extremely, extremely, extremely salty. Everything else was still delicious; the tomato, poached egg, and avocado were a perfect match, refreshing, clean, mild, and smooth.

Saturday morning. Nor'easter howling…read more I need bread for an important Sunday dinner. Sounds easy, but it's not always so simple. Being Italian, bread is very important...so after a week of research (yes a week...I told you it's important) I brave the elements to check out Iggy's. I get there and I wasn't alone. Not only were there a handful of people outside (in a Nor'easter!) eating their purchases, but inside, the line was probably 10-12 deep, wrapped around the interior. As I gazed at the hefty selection of carb goodness, (the shelves were packed with not only countless bread selections, but amazing looking flatbreads, cookies, sandwiches, bagels, and much more!) I was taken in by the awesome vibe and ambiance...cozy, warm, inviting. It was as if someone opened up a warm boule that I was invited to climb into to enjoy the fresh smells, sweet foods, and soft sounds emanating from the turntable spinning vinyl from the table on the side. While the line appeared long, it moved swiftly, as there were at least 4 employees behind the counter expertly assisting customers with their Saturday starchy needs. When my turn arrived, while I wanted to go crazy and get one of each, I contained myself and got two ciabatta squares (great size and value at $4.50 per) and I also couldn't resist a Cranberry Pecan Pullman for Saturday night snacking (also generous in size and nice value at $7.50). Got in my car and noticed immediately how fresh and perfect in texture each loaf was; not to mention how wonderful my car smelled almost immediately. So before this review gets stale, in closing...Iggy's exceeded my expectations. Beautiful location (ample parking by the way), awesome vibes, kind and helpful staff, great selection and value, and let's not forget...the taste :) chefs kiss. Because yeah, I may have bust into the Cranberry Pecan on the way home. :) Be sure to check them out. Definitely worth the visit!

Went on a Friday around 11:30am (FYI use Yelp to get address or Google Maps - Apple Maps took us somewhere else). Located in Seaport district with plenty of outdoor seating available. You do have to order a minimum of 3 bagels with a Schmear so just keep that in mind. We got the Poppy, Sesame, and Everything bagels with Scallion Schmear. Bagels were perfectly soft and the schmear was delicious! I wasn't sure how I would feel about the concept of ripping the bagels and dipping it into the cream cheese, but I actually ended up preferring it - less messy and more cream cheese per bite. Wish PopUp Bagels was in the Bay Area. I would definitely return!

This is the most insanely inconvenient bagel place I've ever ordered from, and totally over priced…read more Want to buy one bagel with cream cheese? Nope. Minimum order is 3. Want your bagel toasted with cream cheese? Nope. They don't toast there. Single serve cream cheese? Nope, gotta buy a full tub. Having never been there before with a group of out-of-towners, we did not know that. Since the minimum order is 3 we decided the three of us would place an order together and all get one bagel + cream cheese, not understanding that it was a full tub of cream cheese each because no one explained that to us. That order of 3 bagels plus a drink came to $29!!! The bagels may be fresh out of the oven, but there is still a difference in the texture and consistency of a toasted bagel that I strongly prefer. Their bagels are super doughy and soft, almost gummy inside. And you have to eat them right away or they get hard. And the everything bagels are so overloaded they make an insane mess as soon as you pick them up. Expect seeds to go literally everywhere. Wholly underwhelming and overpriced. Not for me.
