    Lechmere everything bagel, Egg white cream cheese avocado egg bagel
    Angelina R.

    There's lots of good bagels in Boston, but nothing quite like this one. This authentic m spot serves up the most fluffy, chewy, soft, and flavorful jewish bagels you'll find anywhere in Massachusetts! I absolutely adore the authenticity of this spot and it's definitely become my new favorite for bagel sandwiches. Not only do they have a variety of bagel flavors for whatever you're craving, but they have many fresh ingredients whether you want sweet, savory, simple, or complex! The vibe of this spot makes it feel just like home with the friendly fast service to the bright windows, old-school seating, and quaint energy. I absolutely love this spot and plan to come back to taste all their menu has to offer! It might take a while, but it'll definitely be worth it for a new and great experience each time. Plus, their bagels are huge so it's an excuse to share with friends or take home seconds for the next day! And either way sounds great when it's Kupel's great bagels!!

    Super busy on a Saturday but service was efficient and attentive! Had a sesame onion bagel toasted with lox spread. They spread heavy but was delicious. TENDER BAGEL LIKE NO OTHER. Love the pastry case (unfortunately I had to restrain myself otherwise I would've bought one of everything)

    The Arlington on egg everything
    Rebecca D.

    I thought my sandwich from Kupel's was just ok. Certainly a step up from store-bought but I've had much better, even in the Boston area (Rebelle and Brick Street come to mind). I can't comment on ambiance or service since I ordered delivery. I got a pack of 6 bagels in various flavors, plus a bagel sandwich. The sandwich I ordered was The Arlington, with vegetable cream cheese, lettuce, cucumbers, and capers. I chose an egg everything bagel. Neither the bagel nor the filling tasted very fresh, and the bagel was only seasoned on one side, a pet peeve of mine. I will say the portions were generous and my sandwich was very filling. I haven't tried the other bagels I bought yet so maybe my opinion will change, so I'll update this review if that happens, but I don't have super high hopes... I will stick to my tried and true bagel places for now.

    Went for the tofu cream cheese, this place did not Disappoint will definitely be going back for more

    the worst, underbaked rugelach ever
    Maria M.

    A friend recommended this spot for rugelach. Unfortunately the cinnamon rugelach I got was probably the worst I've ever had - it managed to be both dry on the outside and gummy and underbaked on the inside. It was also very expensive. I ended up throwing it out which I never do. A gluten free brownie looked promising but also ended up being nearly inedible. It had a weird chemical taste that burned my mouth. Apparently everything is parve which essentially means non-dairy. Maybe an OK spot if you're looking to keep kosher but flavor-wise a huge disappointment.

    They are on the main drag of Harvard street with limited seating inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Parking is limited. Good luck finding a spot on the street. They have a variety of bagel with lox, fish and cream cheese. They have thought of every combination possible. They also have a selection of breads. I had an egg and cheese sandwich. Yum.... I would return. I have to test out their outdoor seating.

    Kupel's is a classic in the Boston area. They have a great selection of bagels, baked goods and other cafe items. I've never had a bad thing there but my favorite thing is the Coconut Macarons. They're so moist and delicious without being overly sweet and they're ALWAYS as fresh as can be. Absolutely love this Brookline staple.

    An affordable and delicious spot for bagel sandwiches! Kupels is a very casual grab-and-go bagel stand tucked away near cooldige corner. It was busy on a sunday morning, but it didn't take too long for the sandwiches to come out. I loved the boston theme for all the bagel names. I tried the Park street and the Coolidge Corner. Park street reminded me of sushi in a bagel (in the best way) The coolidge corner was also a classic with lox, red onions, and cream cheese - I also cannot remember the last time I bought a bagel with lox for $12. There were so many options for bagels that it was almost overwhelming! We tried the tomato basil and everything and both were great. I can't wait to go back and try the other options and sandwhich combos

    It's so hard to find a GOOD bagel spot in MA. We were searching for a place that specializes in bagels and Kupel's Bakery popped up. Decided to drive over to Brookline and give them a try today. It did not disappoint! We got two different bagels: Coolidge Corner (smoked salmon with tomatoes, red onions, & chive cream cheese) and the Porter Square (egg whites, avocado, tomato, jalapeño, & garlic herb spread), both on an egg everything bagel. I really enjoyed the Coolidge Corner bagel... I love me some smoked salmon! ***NOTE: Bagels are very thick and one bagel is filling. Next time, will probably get one bagel to share*** Because the bagels are made very thick here (which I do like), they weren't toasted enough, maybe need an extra minute of toasting. Other than that, great place to get some bagels. Pretty extensive menu; Build your own bagel option, baked goods, coffees + beverages, & can buy the cream cheese spread to take home. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good bagel spot to try!

    Porter Square
    Chris T.

    Was craving for bagels this day, it was just in the cards. We usually try to hit another spot but every time we go they already sold out. Kupel's has bagels for days, they are really thick and they are very filling, whether you build your own sandwich, eat it plain, slap some cream cheese, or filled with lettuce tomato avocado salmon etc. They have a pretty extensive bagel menu, espressos and coffee as well as take home ingredients and sweets if you want to make your own at home and buy a dozen. We opted for the Coolidge corner, has salmon tomatoes onion garlic herb spread! It was very tasty and fresh! They load you up with the salmon so honestly this one bagel could have been enough for the two of us. I got the porter square which was avocado, egg white, tomatoes and garlic herb spread fantastic. Now the ONLY thing i thought would have made the bagel better is, when you ask for toasted, perhaps have them run it thru their toaster conveyor two times. Ours weren't really toasted and it was eating bagel room temp and no crisp. Will definitely be back. Cost to portion felt worth it. The menu bagel sandwiches are about 8.99-12.99 but you definitely get full. You can get simple bagel and cream cheese for less. Diner style, counter seating and couple small tables. Nice staff and makes your sandwiches quick.

    The Lechmere with no tomato and onions added.  Amazing.

    Doordashed a bagel from here to my hotel and loved it. A legit boiled then baked bagel with right amount of lox, cream cheese, etc. the garlic chive cream cheese was awesome. A+

    Toasted everything bagel with veggie cheese
    Michele F.

    Solid option for bagels, friendly service. Stopped here while in Brookline to get breakfast. There are sandwich options available or you can build your own bagel. I opted for a toasted everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. While the flavor of the bagel was great and it was overflowing with schmeer, it really wasn't toasted enough for my liking, which made the bagel was a bit chewy for my liking.

    The bagels are hot, fresh, and delicious. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is very friendly.

    Without a doubt, the best bagels around. Don't worry, the lines are long, but move quickly, and the wait is worth it

    This was on many of the Boston top bagels lists. Bagels are pretty dry imho. Staff were nice, like the local shop feel etc.

The lines fortunately moved quickly and we were out of there in 20 min! The pastries are sooooo incredible you absolutely need to try. Our favorites were the Gruyère monkey pull apart bread (similar to the Gruyère croissant but a bit bigger) and we loved it so much we literally dug every piece out from the little cardboard bowl it comes in. A close second was their weekly special the Muhaamura feta croissant which was delectable-- I had never thought of putting Muhaamura in a croissant but damn does it work! It also went so well with the Gruyère it was truly a combo made in heaven. Both are also super light and won't make you feel super heavy after! We also got some sweet options including the chocolate chunk cookie and walnut morning bun which were super solid, but out of the sweet items the olive oil cake was our favorite. It is SUPER dense but truly the perfect dessert to have with tea in the afternoon-- I will definitely think about bringing this next time I'm visiting someone's house! It's not too sweet but flavored so well. Overall this place is soooo worth the wait--- definitely check it out!

I came here with 2 friends to work from home and we had a great time! I can attest it's a solid spot to WFH. They have one large (more communal) table which is where we sat, as well as a handful for 2 seaters for folks to either sit alone or across from a friend. Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them. The WiFi is free and we didn't experience any disruptions, there's great lighting in addition to the natural light from their floor to ceiling glass walls, and the music is so good here. They were playing all 2010s indie, pop, and alternative hits. We all loved it. I ordered a decaf iced latte with Carmel and it was delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but it is what it is. :) My friends got a sandwich and also tried their coffee and really liked it too. We will be back!

They also display the allergens on the little cards, which is super convenient for anyone with allergies or restrictions. The service is friendly and there is a surprising amount of seating inside, which is great to take advantage of the natural light from the big windows. There's also some seating outside when the weather is nice.
