    Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Mister M.

    I had a craving for one of Olmo's bacon, egg (well done), and cheese sandwiches on a toasted plain bagel this morning and as always, they delivered. The place was packed, but despite the chaos, the customer service was excellent and the food was absolutely worth it. As great as the bagels and sandwiches are, and they're definitely worth both the price and the wait, today's real surprise was a complimentary chocolate chip cookie and it was outstanding. Honestly, I'd put it up against just about anyone's. It even tops Insomnia Cookies and East Rock Breads' cookie, which is saying a lot. I love this place, and I think you will too. Enjoy yourself folks!

    "You got to be kidding me You got to be joking" (Graham Parker) You've really got to be kidding me or joking with me if you tell me there is such a thing as a New Haven bagel. Well, please excuse this uninformed schmuck for not knowing that there REALLY IS something known as a New Haven style bagel. Just do a little research like I did and you might be astonished to learn that a New Haven-style bagel is characterized by a unique, "steam-only" cooking method instead of traditional boiling, resulting in a lighter texture with a thin, crispy crust. They're described as having a soft, airy, and warm interior with a crisp, slightly chewy exterior and form the missing link between New York and Montreal style bagels. Well, now that you have that info, you should also know that the Olmo Bagel Shop is widely considered the home of the original "New Haven-style" bagel. Their bagel varieties include Original, Everything, Sesame, Everything Everything, Poppy, Cacio E Pepe, Onion Sea Salt, and Za'atar. Now, I'm sure you're wondering if that Everything Everything was a typo, and the answer is......no. Everything Everything is one of their specialties, described as "a savory delight using our unique house blend of sesame, black sesame, onion, garlic, poppy, Italian seasoning, herbs de Provence, sea salt, black pepper, cheddar, malt vinegar, Korean chili flake, nori, and tofu bacon bits". I guess that adequately explains the double "everything" and surely explains why I just had to buy one. We visited their booth at the Wallingford Garden Market today and were blown away by their gorgeous looking bagels, pricing, and fantastic customer service. All together, we bought two bagels at a very reasonable $2 a pop, and when our counter person found out it was our first crack at Olmo's bagels, he gifted us a third. Our three were an Original, an aforementioned Everything Everything, and the freebie was a Cacio E Pepe with "a generous amount of black pepper topped with a slice of caramelized provolone cheese, which gives this bagel its reddish hue". I enjoyed my Everything Everything for tonight's dinner with some cream cheese and smoked salmon. The bagel was very good, nice and chewy and all that spice made for a distinctive flavor that curiously reminded me a bit of Thanksgiving stuffing of all things. We split the Cacio E Pepe bagel for breakfast the next day and that was a smash hit as well, with plenty of flavor sitting on top of a caramelized provolone blanket. It was savory, decadent, and delicious! Well, next time we're in New Haven (and we can manage to parallel park), guess where we're headed for bagels?

    Extremely good and worth the visit. Efficient kiosk-based ordering system. I came around lunchtime on a Wednesday and it only took ~5 minutes for my order to come out. I got a toasted everything bagel with egg and cheese, and I added a sausage patty. The egg was perfectly cooked (fried to soft yolk) and the bagel was marvelous. The price was pretty reasonable for the area ($10 before tax and tip). I'd recommend this as an easy default breakfast if you are visiting New Haven.

    Turkey egg, cheese, Arugula and pickled onions on plain bagel
    Nicole D.

    I've had their sandwiches several times and its always consistently great! My husband has been eating here for years. I usually get the turkey, egg, and cheese with picked onions and today Arugula was added....OMG! They provide fast service and are still nice. It gets busy in the tight space and I know why - it's so good! Not easy to park around there, however it's still worth the hassle for a to-go order. I don't eat from here often, however, if I was closer, it would be a problem.

    I normally order through UberEats, but their food is consistently good, and their bagels are soft and perfect for sandwiches.

    Plain bagel with over medium egg and scallion cream cheese
    Julia S.

    Came in on a Saturday morning and it was quite crowded. Appears to be a very popular college student spot and not a peaceful place at least on the weekend. Ordering ahead is probably the way to go. Besides the overall disorganized feel of being in the shop, they were playing really grating music that was basically just a hyper beat and made the whole feel even more frenzied. Got a cold brew which was not very strong and probably a third of it was oat milk. The bagel itself was very good - fresh, soft, with slightly crispy outside and overall unique feel for a bagel. Got it with scallion cream cheese and egg and it was a generous freshly cooked two fried eggs on the sandwich. So five star bagel. But the experience was unpleasant and the coffee left something to be desired.

    I could not be happier that I came to Olmo! I was visiting for the weekend and needed some breakfast before my trip home. Friendly and quick service, and food was absolutely delicious - the highlight of the food I had while here! Definitely recommend the Everything Everything bagel. One note is that there is nowhere to sit inside but once the weather is warmer there are tables outside. I will 100% be coming back on my next visit!

    Olmo Bagels at the edge of Yale University is an absolute must-visit for breakfast, boasting a culinary experience that justifies any queue! What started as a casual observation of a massive line on a bike ride quickly turned into a delicious discovery. We indulged in their breakfast bagels, and my salmon smoked bagel was nothing short of amazing--truly a 10/10 for food quality that will leave your taste buds singing. Nestled in a neighborhood rich with history, the building itself, like many along this historic stretch of Chapel Street dating back to the 18th century, hums with the legacy of New Haven's development alongside Yale. Despite a challenging parking situation and a 30-minute wait, the exceptional service received was also a perfect 10/10, making the experience seamless and incredibly welcoming. Be prepared to navigate difficult parking, but the staff's efficiency and warmth more than compensate. It's also worth noting for planning purposes that Olmo Bagels is not particularly geared towards children, with no highchairs available. This gem offers an incredible atmosphere (8/10) perfect for adults looking to savor a truly outstanding bagel. I will be back!

    This place definitely lives up to the bagel hype, whether you're getting a classic bagel with cream cheese or a full breakfast sandwich, you really can't go wrong. The different breads and cream cheese are all delicious. I was super impressed on my first visit, and it's a spot I always want to come back to. The staff is kind and welcoming, and the space is adorable, perfect for sitting outside or check out the cool vibe inside.

    This was my 1st time ordering from Olmo but definitely not the last time. Placed my order and received it a timely fashion. I unwrapped a perfect breakfast. I am not normally a bagel for breakfast kinda girl but I figured I go off the reviews and give this place a try and it was worth it. I received a great breakfast, bagel was toasted with butter, crispy on outside nice and soft on the inside, bacon perfectly cooked, egg done well and cheese just nice amd melty. This bagel was udderly perfect. I highly recommend them just off this 1st experience with Olmo. I also ordered cinnamon raisin cream cheese on a sesame bagel that I ate later that day which was good but I am completely sold on the breakfast bagel !

    Stopped by this place for lunch when visiting Yale. Affordable, friendly staff, and delicious food. I appreciate that they have outdoor seating as well. This was my first time trying an okonomiyaki bagel and I love the fusion of flavors here. I got the everything bagel with it. It was fresh and was filled with cabbage, bacon and sweet-sour okonomiyaki sauce. For $8, it was a nice lunch!

    Marlena K.

    Yes I waited a long time for my bagel, but it was absolutely worth it. I cannot recommend this place enough, especially because they also accommodate vegans and have vegan cream cheese. The gentleman at the front managing the DoorDash/uber orders and crowd control was amazing and very helpful regarding updates on my order. I was also able to try their chocolate chip cookie and it is out of control addicting. Definitely worth the trip.

    Everything everything Bagel and Schmear Sandwich
    Pooja S.

    I love a bagel, and being back in the northeast means I needed to get at least one bagel. Went to Olmo at around 9:30 AM on Saturday. The interior of the shop is very cozy and was quite crowded. We ordered on these screens after waiting for about 5 min. We were all asked to wait outside, which had ample seating. About 15 min later, a man came out to hand us our food. I ordered a toasted everything everything bagel with spinach and artichoke schmear. The bagel was crunchy and dense which was great, but I really loved the flavor of the cream cheese. I'll definitely be back!

    What is the indoor seating situation like now?

    From what I can remember there is just a few seats that are on a counter that sits on the front window. There's not much seating inside, but there is a LARGE patio with a ton of seats (obviously... for when it's warmer). But it's very small inside.

    It's been a while since this question was asked but can you eat IN now?

    Hi Lauren! Our current model has no indoor seating however we do have a patio for outdoor dining. Our guests follow the same strict guidelines of health safety that our staff follows: social distancing, mask wearing, and contactless transactions. We… Read more

Just the actual vibe alone was relaxing. This is one of those locations where you can actually come sit and not be bothered. Few people inside were working on their laptops, some were just conversing with their friends. The barista was super friendly and worked fast. One thing I noticed and was wowed on was they serve wine as well. I mean how cool is that. Felt like I was at France for a minute, where the cafes serve coffee, tea and qwasonts during the day, and cocktails at night. Very chill. Can't thank them enough for how clean the bathroom was as well. All in all great coffee and service.

    If you're searching for that authentic, old-school Jewish deli experience without trekking into…read moreNYC, Katz's Deli Restaurant in Woodbridge is a masterclass in tradition. Here is why this spot remains a cornerstone of the Connecticut food scene. The Star of the Show: The "Elaine" Cut The absolute centerpiece of the menu is the Elaine cut of corned beef. For those who find standard deli meats a bit too lean or dry, the Elaine cut is a revelation. It is: * Perfectly Marbled: Expertly trimmed to retain just enough fat to keep the meat incredibly moist. * Melt-in-Your-Mouth: Steamed to a point where it practically falls apart under your fork. * Generously Portioned: They don't skimp; the sandwich arrives piled high, a true monument to deli meat. The Foundation: Perfect Rye A sandwich is only as good as its vessel, and Katz's seeded rye is the gold standard. It features a crust that offers a slight "snap" when you bite into it, while the center remains soft enough to soak up the juices from the corned beef without disintegrating. The caraway seeds add that essential, earthy punch that cuts through the richness of the meat. The "Accessories" (The Full Reuben Experience) While the meat stands alone, the accompaniments elevate it to a gourmet level. To get the full experience, you have to lean into the "accessories": * Swiss Cheese: Thick, nutty, and perfectly melted. * Russian Dressing: Tangy and creamy with just the right amount of zest. * Coleslaw: Crisp, fresh, and not overly drowned in mayo--it provides a vital crunch. * The Pickles: No visit is complete without their signature pickles, which provide the sharp acidity needed to cleanse the palate. In an era of disappearing hospitality, the staff at Katz's are refreshingly helpful and efficient. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, there's a sense of "family" energy that makes the dining room feel warm. While deli prices have risen everywhere, Katz's offers genuine quality for what you pay. You aren't just paying for a sandwich; you're paying for premium cuts, house-made sides, and a portion size that usually guarantees a delicious lunch for the following day
