Let's start at the beginning- Just because the roll-down door is closed doesn't mean the bagel shop is closed. That was my first error as I went by this place a handful of times. It's wasn't until I saw someone emerge from the double doors to the left of the roll-down that I realized that the business was open. Not that they need any help getting people inside (it was HOPPING) but a sandwich board outside perhaps would show that the business is open inside? I went in and immediately everyone was friendly and chipper. Ordering was simple enough but be prepared, they sell through some things, understandably as this place is very popular. I got an espresso and a toasted herb bagel with plain cream cheese. Ive been all over Bath, Brunswick, Rockland, and Camden and was convinced that the New Englander's palates were shot. Not a single business has served me a decent espresso. Not a single one until I stopped at Dutchman's. FINALLY a bright, clean shot that doesn't taste like someone put a cigar out in it. Everyone needs to take notes. THEN we get to the bagel....didn't think I was about to have the best bagel of my life, yet here I am. Light, toasted, slightly chewy but not heavy... jeez. Can we talk about the space? It's gorgeous. Airy, cool, industrial...but the people running it make it feel homey. We can talk about the restaurant they're putting in next door too but let's be realistic, if they use any of the blueprint they're currently operating off of, they're not going to have any issues (Omg the pizza oven!) The view alone will stop you in your tracks. I'm all in on Dutchman's. I bought the merch. I have a tee shirt and a beanie and the only reason I don't have a hoodie is because they were sold out in my size. What else is there to say... 10/10 No notes. read more

This is a cute bagel/coffee shop located in the Fort Andross building (on the back side). I was kind of confused as to where it was based on where my GPS took me, but you can park in the back, or just walk through the building to find it. As soon as I walked up I was bummed to see they had no egg or cheese, which is what I was planning to order. Instead, I went with the Turkey Lurkey. It's not something I'd typically order but it was delicious. It was a bit messy so eating it in the car was a mistake lol. I also got a cold brew coffee. My order was $17 for those two things, which is expensive, but the quality of the food and coffee was very good and I'd much rather give my money to this business than a large corporation like Starbucks. I saw another review give 3 stars because they are comparing their bagels to NY/NJ style bagels. I'm originally from NJ, and yes I prefer those style bagels, but that is NOT what Dutchman's is going for. These are Wood-Fired bagels, and yes they do have a more bread like texture but I thought they were delicious and made for perfect sandwich bagels. I went on a Thursday morning and there was no line so service was quick. I was in and out in about 10 mins. read more

I must preface this review by noting that I attended an event in Fort Andross that was catered by Dutchman's. That being said, they offered a variety of options, most notably a selection of pizzas that were extremely good. I am looking forward to visiting them during their normal business hours and trying their bagel offerings. read more

Very long line/wait on a Saturday morning. Highly recommend ordering 1 hour in advance online. The breakfast sandwich I got was expensive but very large. It was delicious but filing and greasy. I got a "Dutch Royalty" breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bialy. I'd probably go back to try something else. read more

This local bagel shop in Brunswick is a great spot to sit and get some work done or grab brunch with friends! It was built inside of what used to be an old mill and features a great open space with plenty of tables for sitting a few people to a group. The bagels themselves are delicious and are all toasted inside a pizza oven which gives it the perfect soft, crispness. The coffee was good too, I ordered a maple latte which was the perfect blend of sweet and bitter from the espresso shot. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot if you're ever in Brunswick or around the area! read more

Dutchman's was worth the stop while in town. There was a huge line by 9am on Saturday, so clearly it's a favorite among locals. The space is very unique, a very comfortable, open place to enjoy some coffee and a bagel. The bagels were decent for the area, but not my favorite type of bagel (a little bready). I thought it was a little pricey for what I got, but with a line as long as it was, Dutchman's can justify the prices. I'm picky when it comes to bagels, so my rating is reflective of that. I am of the opinion that New York/New Jersey bagels are the pinnacle of the bagel world, and the further away from New York you get, the harder it is to find somewhere that gets close to meeting that standard. I'd still stop by if I'm in town again, as long as I get there before the big morning rush. Not sure it would be worth the 20+ person line. read more

Unfortunately, exceptionally slow service. No one was in line after we (2 people) placed our order and only a few people were before us but we waited over 25 minutes for our toasted bagels. One employee ran the register, one called order names, one stood around, and one took care of the bagels. Not very efficient. The bagels were alright but a little too doughy. read more

Great sandwiches, great bagels, and nice staff. We stopped in here about an hour from closing and split two different sandwiches: one breakfast and one turkey. Both were delicious and offered the opportunity to try two types of their bagels. The Turkey Lurkey was piled high with turkey and fresh vegetables and paired well with house ranch and a sesame bagel. For the egg and cheese, we opted for the za'atar bagel (and the sauce on the side) and it was great. We ended up leaving as they were cleaning and preparing to close, so they asked if we wanted to take some bagels to go. This was so nice of them so we said yes and enjoyed them over the next couple of days! read more

As I was driving down back to Boston I became hangry and I found this place. The bagels are great with many different options. You can build your own bagel, order the pre-selected. They have great coffee and the service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance is good because there is ample space. They have a full section with unlimited space. The only downside it is the location but you can walk over if you miss the entrance which is right in the construction area but worth the walk. read more

Dutchman's - Poppyseed bagel with cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

Absolutely the best bagels I have ever had. We typically drive up to Belfast 2-3 times a year from Southern newhampshire (4 hour trip) and always make the point of stopping here. Adding lox is always a great idea for a breakfast sandwich and my personal favorite is the za'ahtar or Italian herb bagel. Traditionally I would always pick an everything bagel but lots the fennel and season on these two more, still cant go wrong with plain or poppy seed if that's your style too. Ironically I think every time we come it takes me 5-10 minutes to process tbe menu but ultimately always get close to the same thing. Bagels so good that you can eat tbem without toasting them, as a 45 year old i never experienced that before coming here. Really really busy in the morning and they start to run out of bagels in the afternoon. Massive areas for eating sometimes closed for events. read more

I want my kitchen to smell like Dutchman's! The most freshly baked rosemary scent welcomes you into this old renovated warehouse space! So gorgeous inside with an impressive amount of seating. I grabbed a turkey lurkey on a rosemary garlic bagel and it was a solid 10/10. I also got their iced black tea which I wish was bottomless. Also a 10/10! read more

This well known bagel joint in Brunswick had a very nice energy. Young and supportive staff and a unique interior as well I could grab my laptop and post up for a while. Butttttt. This is not my kind of bagel. That is ok! Much softer and breadier than my average. I don't have any negativity, my latte was good the only thing is the parking was a bit awkward but a solid shop regardless. read more

I heard so many good things...friends texting me and seeing the reviews on Yelp, I knew I needed to try it. First of all - The weekends here - OMG - cray cray! If you must stop here on the weekend, I highly recommend you place your order online and bring a lot of patience with you. The parking situation on Saturday with the Winter Market people, made it almost impossible. Luckily after the 3rd round, we found someone was leaving. There is a small lot near the entrance on the river side, however, it is a very sloped and small lot. You may get blocked in by poorly parked vans and large trucks. With that said...I love their bagels! We enjoyed bagel sandwiches and brought a dozen home to share with family. My niece (3) and nephew (5) loved the bagels as well - they each ate their own bagel!! ALL OF IT! I have been here twice and will definitely be back. I highly recommend these bagels! read more

I have had my eye on Dutchman's for quite some time so i would say i went in with high expectations. And i must say..... completely blew me away! First of all the service was amazing, the employees were so helpful with recommendations and really kept those bagel orders cranking out fast. Onto the food, i ordered the garden. I did an everything bagel, horseradish dill cream cheese, pastrami smoked lox, cucumbers, capers, heirloom tomato, and pickles onions AND WOW. This sandwich was absolutely packed, they do not skimp on the fillings which was greatly appreciated. Absolutely every vegetable in that sandwich was so fresh it made such a difference. The lox were incredible but i didn't have doubts about that. The bagel was the perfect texture and i love that the everything bagel is coated all over with seeds. This is definitely the best bagel sandwich i have ever had. Such a spacious interior and plenty of seating with lots of table room to even do some work. I just wish the parking lot was better! I will definitely have to make this a stop every time i am in the area. Thanks Dutchman's! read more

Okay, our second visit. We ordered the Garden State with smoked salmon again and the Turkey Lerky, both on zatar bagels. One for breakfast and the other for lunch. Shared. Ordered a half dozen for home. Outstanding service and ambiance. Hope they read the reviews. Can't wait to return. read more

Both my husband and I loved our bagels and cream cheese. I got the Za'Star bagel with plain cream cheese and it was absolutely amazing! My husband got a plain bagel w horseradish and dill cream cheese and loved it. The bagels were perfectly soft inside and a tad bit crunchy on the outside. We'll definitely go back next time we're in Brunswick! read more

Let's start with the elephant in the room - if you do not preorder online then yes, you will probably have to wait for your food or your coffee, sometimes for a fair amount of time. But it is worth the wait. It is not hyperbole that this is the best bagel sandwich in the state. Throw the crispy hash brown onto your PRE&C with bodega sauce - unrivaled. The bagels are very good on their own - usually bring home some day-olds for the freezer. read more

Dutchman's - pork roll, egg & cheese, crispy hash brown, bodega sauce on the special rosemary egg bagel - Bagels Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

I enjoyed the meal, but I was surprised by some items. Keep in mind, it could just be the day. Ordered takeout and ate it right away, I expected my toasted bagel to be hot or warm, but it was room temperature when I picked it up, and I was there when it was ready. My friends and I ate in the car, so it wasn't a matter of it cooling off in transit. I also was surprised by their ingredient placement. While the bagels were large, there's not a ton of room on a bagel, and before I moved everything around, there were chunks that had some meat, no meat, onions, no onions, etc. That being said, you can tell the ingredients are homemade and good quality. Their bodega sauce was a little hard to find, but probably because they loaded it up with garlic herb cream cheese, which was delicious. The bagel itself was great, I got an everything bagel and it wasn't too dense while being nice and filling. Online ordering was ready in 41mins, but only because they are so busy. I did enjoy the meal, but I wasn't wowed by it. It definitely scratches the itch, but there are a lot of great options in Brunswick, so it's hard to say it was great. I will be back to get another datapoint. read more

Be aware that Dutchman's has very long lines and breakfast sandwiches haven't been available for months. It's an arrogant business model to not put this information on the website or list a phone number to call. Skip the line, order bagels online and make your sandwich at home! read more

Dutchman's Wood-Fired Bagels in Brunswick is the place to go if you're looking for a bagel. Located in the annex of the Nomad Pizzeria it shares the same charm and wood-fired oven. A year later, our second visit was as good as the first, maintaining the top-notch quality we remembered. We had two bagels: - The Garden State on an everything bagel with dill cream cheese and lox - A Bacon, Egg & Cheese on a poppy seed bagel. Key points: - Both bagels were incredible, flawless even. - The Garden State had perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes. - The Bodega sauce on the B/E/C really took the sandwich up a notch. *bam* - Perfectly toasted and just soft enough on the inside. - Don't forget to check out their bagel special of the day They also offer coffee and espresso drinks. Finding a decent bagel place is always tougher than you'd expect. But Dutchman's has nailed it and continues to do a fantastic job. Don't let the line scare you away - it goes quick. This place should definitely be on your list. Visit once, and I bet you'll go back again next time you're in town. read more

Great food and plenty of space to sit down. Casual vibe and usually a line in the morning. Staff is friendly and the place is tidy.

The hardest part is getting into the lot and figuring out that Dutchman's is in the same location as Nomad Pizza (they use the same wood-fired oven). After that, it's easy (especially if you park in the front lot and go through the main mill building entrance), with an attractive display case or online ordering helping you decide. Plenty of seating. Good coffee. Good lineup of bagel and cream cheese flavors. My Garden State #2 delivered ample cream cheese and even more ample smoked salmon. Nice complementary flavors from pickled onions and capers. Didn't taste as much wood as hoped or as much seasoning on the Everything as hoped, but the bagel itself was solid and the overall composition was very solid. Veggie cream cheese (my wife's order) tasted oddly sweet, but again, good bagel. read more

Went to Dutchmans and wasnt expecting the greatest bagel but was very surprised..travel out of certain areas its hard to find a decent bagel but Dutchmans gets it right, so delicious! My only suggestion they have a bagel with a "schmear" which is alittle bit of cream cheese, there was delicious tasting cream cheese but there was so much of it on the bagel it made for a messy meal... In NYC you can get a schmear! Definitely will return! Excellent drink menu as well! read more

Amazing bagels, horrible service. Because they know they're good, they apparently have decided customers service and speed aren't important. I'm not saying it's not worth the wait but I am saying you will have to wait a long time and you won't get any smiles or cordiality from the workers. read more

I am so glad this place exists in Brunswick! It is wonderful to have good Bagel's and good coffee so close by. Their sandwiches also are just really so good, every one I have had--all good. The environment is is fun and interesting. I love the industrial, but still mid-coast feel of it. In the winter you can go to Dutchman's and the antique store in the same building without even going out into the cold, in the summer you can take a walk over the dam and see the river! read more

For those of us searching for amazing bagels north of Portland, and mourning the temporary closure of The Purple House, Dutchman's Wood Fired Bagels is an oasis in a land of mediocre, often store bought bagels. My first visit here will be one of many...for the oh so crusty and delicious bagels served by the friendly staff. Get the bagel of the day for something different - todays was rosemary and garlic,, making a perfect egg sandwich on this stormy day. They are a bit pricey, but remember to take six or twelve home with some cream cheese too. I'll be back! read more

If you can't get NYC bagels, Dutchman's bagels are the next best thing. These wood oven bagels are crisp and sometimes a little charred on the outside and chewy on the inside. They don't have a lot of styles, but the ztar is definitely my favorite and is flavorful without having garlic or onion on them. Staff is great. They also have excellent cream cheese. Warning, they open at 8 and generally sell out before they close. They are open Thursday-Sunday. So get there early or order online. The only disappointment is that you cannot order cream cheese online, so you have to wait in line. It was just announced that they took over the Nomad space, so some of this may change soon, but I am sure the bagels will still be spectacular. read more

Absolutely incredible experience at Dutchman's! I ordered the lox bagel on an everything bagel--perfectly toasted--with cream cheese, capers, and onions, and it was out of this world. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The service was just as outstanding--Emily Squared (yes, two awesome Emilys!) made my morning with their warmth and hospitality. They pointed me to Marina, who is the heart and soul of this place. Her passion for Dutchman's shines through in every detail, and you can genuinely feel how much she cares about her team, her customers, and the entire experience. As the owner of Morning Moose Coffee, I know what it takes to create a space where people feel valued and welcomed--and Dutchman's absolutely delivers. If you're in the area, don't miss this spot. The food is amazing, the people are even better, and you'll leave feeling like family. This place TOTALLY made my morning! My second time here and CERTAINLY won't be my last. read more

Once you're able to actually locate where Dutchman's is (Hint: it's in the Mill building, just park in the lot right in front of the building), follow the signage inside to bring you to delicious wood-fired bagels. My first experience there was a simple plan bagel with house cream cheese as a baseline experience. Clearly fresh and a generous portion of cream cheese on a cute branded paper, I would say Dutchman's is worth the trip to have a fresh bagel. I did try warming up the bagels once I was home and noticed the texture didn't hold up as well as other bagel locations might do). There's a ton of seating in this industrial (but aesthetically pleasing!) looking space. I wasn't sure if I ought to mention this, but I would agree with another customer review: there was someone behind the counter who both times was so miserable that I wondered why the Dutchman team would place this person immediately at the cash register and interacting with customers. I figure some people are just having a bad day! While it won't stop me from going, it's certainly worth mentioning as some guests may take it personally and impact their overall experience. read more

This place is so good, the za'atar bagel is amazing and the coffee was great. Staff is super friendly and the shop itself is cool

After reading the write up in a past issue of Downeast, I added Dutchman's to my list of must-try places in Brunswick. It did not disappoint! The bagel was crispy-crunchy on the outside and dense and chewy-soft on the inside. The cream cheese was herby and the perfect complement. I also ordered a cold brew, which was bold and some beans to go. The staff were super friendly and service was fast despite it being a busy Saturday morning. The inside is nice, with ample seating, although I didn't stay to eat this time. It was slightly intimidating to find from the outside of the building, but a helpful video on their instagram page helped me navigate. Will definitely come back during my next trip to the area. read more

Holy bagel Batman! My only complaint about this place is they weren't open every day to get my fix of delicious wood fired bagels. Made my own bagel sandwich on an everything bagel with cream cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers. Soooo good!!! Tomato and cucumber were fresh and such a fresh flavor. My other half ordered the breakfast special of the day with Pastrami and hash browns... Holy heck it was huge and the bite I had was sooo good!!

I was excited to try Dutchman's this past weekend and all-in-all, I am pretty satisfied! While their bagels don't quite live up to the ones I ate while living in NYC, they are pretty dang good for Maine bagels. Plus -- they have some decent height to them! I got the egg and cheese with bacon on an everything bagel and it was delicious! I am excited to try the chocolate chip bagel with sea salt next time, which apparently is a fan favorite! They often sell out before their official close time, so be sure to check Dutchman's Instagram account for updates and try to either order ahead online or go before 10:30/11 am to avoid disappointment. Parking: I recommend going to the small lot off of Maine Street/201. Go up the stairs, through the doors, and turn right. Pricing: A little pricy for bagels, but they're good so I'm not complaining too much. read more

I really, really love a good bagel, and, thanks to my granddaughter, I now know that Dutchman's is the place to go. She and I tried to go one day, but it was late in the day and the line was long. I then decided to order online - and yay. Although, I ordered six single, and would have saved a couple of bucks if I'd ordered a half dozen, but couldn't figure out how to do it. The very nice server who handed me my bagels mentioned that, and I let her know that it wasn't easy. EvOr it could have been me. It was easy to park, the people were nice, it was great!

Hello and welcome to my review. Today I will be reviewing.....drumroll please......DUTCHMANS!!! But you probably knew that already (from the title of course-silly goose!) It was a rainy morning as we drove through the fog, five of us all packed in. Weird amount of space when we arrived, would strongly recommend a mural on some of the walls. In the back there are several tables, but not nearly enough to fill the space. I would recommend more fish tanks. Have you ever seen the movie Zootopia? I thought so, sly dog. As there are so many empty rooms, we were thinking that every room could be a biome. Jungle theme anyone? Count me in. My bagel and my girlfriend (birthday!) came fairly quickly. My masculine compatriots, however, had to wait almost thirty minutes! They said they lost the order, or maybe they just don't like testosterone....A little kid was yelling and crying almost the whole time, sitting at the table(more like running around) right next to us. Shut him up, please. The woman who took our order was also very nice, and asked us our favorite movie before going crazy on some water. Some big gulps going on there. Overall, a very solid experience. Some better decorations and timely service would make it five-stars. Lot of potential, looking forward to coming back. -Attached is a photo of my final plate. read more

Real bagels with flavor. At long last but we need another location closer to Portland/SoPo. Perfect texture. (Hard to find if you don't know but it's in the far back corner of the Cabot mill building wher Frontier used to be. As you face the building go in on the right) by the way burying the poppy bagel in seeds is not exactly authentic and rather messy but I can deal with it. The rosemary are lovely, eager to try more. Next time I hope I can stay there to enjoy on the spot. I'll need to grab at least a half dozen for home (I'll slice in my authentic bagel slicer waiting for perfect bagels then wrap individually and freeze. But of course for many of us fresh and promptly eaten is ideal. And yes I used to live and work in Philly NYC area. We do know true bagels. read more
