I visited Bagelsaurus after it was recommended as one of the best places for bagels in the Boston…read morearea. A few weeks ago, I stopped by and picked up a couple of bagels to try. 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.

My friend got the lox sandwich on a rosemary salt bagel and it was packed with all the goods. She also got an iced coffee which looked amazing (I don't drink coffee). Will be back!!

If you're feeling experimental, their menu has a ton of other tasty options. Their Pesto Turkey is also a delicious choice. Cannot recommend them enough.

Texturewise, an airier, less-dense bagel, closer to Bagelsaurus consistency than Rosenfeld's or Rebelle consistency. -- Coffee: Very good. Was hoping to buy more bagels to take home for further exploration, but on weekends they have a limit of 1. Even though it doesn't make my greater Boston top 5, Black Sheep has its charm and is destined for a return visit. To be continued and I'm hoping to bump up the score.

Chewy and doughy but not much onion flavor. I should have waited to get it toasted to get more out of it. The bagel dog and pizza bagel were ok. The bagel on the dog and pizza was nice and chewy but nothing to write home about in regards to the hot dog or sauce and cheese. The place is definitely a hole in the wall with no seating so it's a quick grab and go situation. Not a place to expect friendly service but it was efficient.

Friendly staff and even proactive staff, as they realized before I did that one of the bagel items in the bag they handed me was from another person's order and they were still working on one of my items. So, in a way, good that they noticed, but not so good that the incorrect orders I keep reading about are still happening. -- Egg Sandwich on Everything: Seems like a stretch calling this an "Everything" when the seeds are so sparsely applied. Egg was cooked well as requested. Condiments as requested, other than the missing hot sauce. My wife's assessment: "Pretty good but lacked flavor." -- Salmon Spread ("Pate") on Pumpernickel: I loved the caraway seeds on the surface and it had decent flavor. Texture a little tough all the way through. The $5.95 spread didn't get me much thickness or coverage. Also very dry, along with the dry, tough bagel. I didn't taste or feel much salmon or cream cheese. In retrospect, adding tomato for an extra $.95 was a wise move. -- Coffee: Strong, hot, and good. -- Parking: Excellent. Overall, certainly at least doable. It's just that with other better and better value bagel and breakfast options these days, probably wouldn't do again.

No seating inside, lattes were from a can, no avocado spreads just cream cheese varieties and butter.

But there's one table downstairs! The default tip options are 30%, 25%, 20%, which feels a bit high. For NJ this would be a below average bagel -- not enough crust, not quite chewy enough, a little bland. For Boston this is well above average, with the distinct chew of a proper bagel. The donut was only so so, dry and just sweet. Would recommend the bagels instead! They have some cream cheese spreads, but no lox flavor sadly. I'll definitely be back when I crave a bagel!
