Providence Bagel on Hope was a fun first stop for RI Food Fights' Best Iced Coffee competition. I was warmly greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff was happy to explain which iced coffee options were available and what was gluten free. I ordered an egg and cheese on a gluten-free everything bagel, which was delicious. They happened to be out of dairy milk, so my choices for my iced coffee were non-dairy milk or cream. I went with cream. The coffee was good, though not my favorite of the competition so far. I loved the playful duck theme throughout the shop. It gave the space a fun personality. The café was busy during my visit, and the team was also working through a new POS system that slowed things down a bit. Even with the technical hiccups, everyone stayed friendly, patient, and helpful while troubleshooting. Overall, it was a welcoming first visit with good food, friendly service, and a unique atmosphere. I'd definitely stop back to try more of the menu. read more

Love Providence Bagel! The bagels are good and consistent, and now they have GF bagels. I love that Prov Bagel has vegan sausage too. The green monstah is one of my fave breakfast sandwiches. I stopped in today for an iced coffee and ordered the smores iced coffee with almond milk. It was made really well! Bonus: I love going through the drive thru with my dog and getting the best pup cups! read more

While I still do love Providence bagel, it's lacking something for me that it used to have. Service is always great and bagels are tasty, but the sandwiches fall a little short for me (a bagel not fully covered by an egg and cheese for me is a miss) and their coffee is just okay! It's been that way the last few visits for me! Still good, just not as good as when I lived nearby several years back. read more

Fake egg, undercooked, bacon undercooked bagel carelessly processed ingredients. The bagel was prepared carelessly not cut properly, causing it to fall apart. That's how I bumped into the watery egg. No one's going to pay a premium for a cheap products read more

Disappointing bagel shop. My friend and I stopped here to pick up a bagel on our way to the beach and while the menu looked promising with the options, the bagel itself did not hit the spot. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese on a spinach bagel and the contents were lacking. The bagel was not well toasted and just not a good bagel in and of itself. The service was quick and the worker was nice. However, I won't be returning and will probably look elsewhere for any bagel needs. read more

Bagels were huge- smaller would have been perfect- not toasted enough, even though we asked for nicely toasted - Bought a bag of day old bags - got home - impossible to eat- so hard couldn't bite into it. Customer Service rep at ordering was really very nice- ambiance - it's ok read more

Terrible bagel. I hate being harsh on here but it was basically inedible with how stale and tough it was. Tried pumpernickel and blueberry. 2 stars though instead of 1, because the strawberry cream cheese is perhaps the best strawberry cream cheese I've ever had. I'd go just to get a tub of that. Smoothie also had the weirdest texture and was basically ice chips with juice, no smooth at all. read more

Order 2 coffees and 3 bagels. Waited for well over a half hour. Very disorganized, giving wrong orders out, and their biggest concerns seems to be for the drive-through. Bathroom is filthy no soap but on a positive note coffee was good read more

Amazing place to grab some bagels and a simple coffee. It is also great for office or a party if you choose the dozen bagels with two cream cheese options, not expensive but very delicious. read more

When this place downed it was great and I came here two or three times a week. Now, every time I stop here I swear, never again!! Filthy inside! Incompetent staff that doesn't even pretend to try and the quality of the bagels is so inconsistent. Also, the coffee is the worst!! What happened here??? Hello owner, do you even care anymore? I certainly don't and I've given this place more than enough chances that I'll never be back!! read more

I used to love their bagels. Went this morning for the first time on probably over a year. Order a bagel not toasted. She starts putting it in the toaster... order iced coffee, she makes me iced. Sit down and the bagel had to be over 2 days old. They used to be so fresh. Then went to use the restroom. Filthy.... I will not be returning any time soon read more

Service was good and fast, the bagel was delicious and the coffee was good. Nice indoor seating area, and everyone working there was very nice. read more

Very impressed by the egg sandwich I got. With my RI Food Fights coupon, I ordered their spicy sunrise egg sandwich on a sesame bagel. I loved the combination of sausage, a hash brown patty with some hot honey. Was a good size too, normally $8 . Service and staff was very friendly. read more

First off, the drive through order taker was a highly distracted hot mess of a young man.. had to repeat my order to him at least 3 times and ( it still got screwed up ) I was the only person in line... so it's not like he was busy. Nice they have GF bagels and vegan cream cheese... but outrageously expensive. I really like my bagels toasted, I asked 3x and it still ended up not being toasted??!!! Premises are starting to look run down.. divets in driveway, overgrown weeds, stupid stickers and schmutz all over the exterior drive through window.. kinda getting ghetto.. if you want people to pay $13 for a specialty bagel... this isn't going to cut it. I predict they'll be out of business sooner than later... esp in this economy. read more

Whoever made my bagel today on 8/25 I had the best bagel ever!!! I always get the Classic locx but today it was phenomenal ...everything was fresh And equally portioned , not to much chive cream cheese , not to many capers (they can be salty) it was just perfect & the lox was fresh!!! read more

I like their bagels a lot but some of the staff are extremely rude. When I was in the drive through I was a little far away from the window and the lady talked to me as if I was stupid telling me if I stayed like that then I needed to get out of the car to pick up my food. There's no need for that, just ask me to pull up a little and be kind! That particular staff member was very unpleasant and rude even following that interaction. It was clear she was unhappy to be there. Although their bagels are pretty good, the bad customer service deters me from coming here again. read more

This morning, as a "treat" to myself, I ordered a poppy bagel with chive cream cheese. The cheese tasted "off", and the bagel was easily 3 days old. Literally hard as a rock. Disgusted, I tossed it back in the bag, got to work, threw it in the barrel, and toasted up a poppy bagel I had here from Stop and Shop 2 days ago, and it toasted up perfectly. Threw some old Philly cream cheese I had onto it and it was 10 times better. read more

My last visit during the mid morning was using the drive thru. The line was a bit long and I think it took longer that if I would had parked and walked inside, but I wanted to check out that experience. They have a nice full menu right in front of the speaker/microphone. A nice lady on the other end, asked me what I wanted, I ordered an asiago bagel, but I was informed that they were out...it was only about 10:30 am.....anyway......I asked for a garlic bagel and shortly after I was at the pick up window getting my garlic bagel and bacon/scallion cream cheese. The bagel was delicious, it had a nice strong garlic smell without being overwhelming. The cream cheese was nice, not too strong of a bacon taste, but I think I still like the jalapeño one the best. Great selection, great service. read more

I have ordered from here several times now on uber eats and always request my bagel either toasted or dark toasted. Every single time, the bagel is cold, not toasted, and if it's a breakfast sandwich, gross and soggy from the toppings absorbing into the cold bagel. Why don't you toast your bagels at all and why do you offer the option if you're not going to do it?? Today was my last order, and it's a waste as it was a cold soggy mess that I just had to throw out. read more

my boyfriend and I are visiting providence from boston and wanted to try some local spots and found this close to our hotel. I got the sesame bagel with garden veggie cream cheese which was phenomenal and 10/10 perfect ratio of cream cheese to bagel. some bagel places smear on an inch thick layer of cream cheese and that's just nauseating. this was perfect bf got a spicy sunrise which he rates an 8/10 he said it could've had more hot honey and it was a tad dry (but he skipped the cheese that comes w it so maybe it was that) delicious and i'm happy to see gluten free options on the menu. ambiance is cute and cozy and their playlist had bangers, nothing to complain about xoxo read more

Normally love stopping by to get bagels in the morning but this morning was a disaster. There was a lady that I have not seen working who was just yelling at the other staff. Waited for 15 minutes for a bagel She was extremely rude to the poor door dash driver. Not a good experience for anyone in the building. read more

I've been here three times now, two of those times my bagel didn't come with avocado like it is advertised on the menu? The last time I went I specifically had to state that my previous order didn't have it, so they smothered the next one I ordered. Is this something I'm suppose to request even though it says it comes on it as is? This last time there was no avocado OR the jalapeño cream cheese... just egg and salsa :/ Really confused by this and kind of disappointed since this is the closest bagel shop to my home. I also received a free vegan bagel due to the lady in front of me in the drive thru driving off before getting to the window. I love that I got a free bagel, and super grateful, but the fact that it had everything on it with the avocado right before my order is a little frustrating. read more

Their "bagels" lack the moisture, chew, and crust of real bagels. There is something amiss with their bagel preparation process.

Bagels were a bit bigger than normal..... definitely a plus....The drive thru was busy as well as the inside...I ordered Asiago bagel and everything bagel toasted with 2 iced coffee with milk and sugar..... The wait time was a little more than expected; I would say 20-25 minutes and I didn't get anything out of the ordinary just basic.Next time I will order on the phone. The staff are extremely friendly. I took off star because of the wait time and I ordered Asiago and got plain.... I waited for a while originally so I didn't say anything......The coffee I would pass on... However, the bagels were still yummy and they put a generous amount of cream cheese.. read more

Bagels are what's going on at this north side drive thru and eatery It makes for a good breakfast or any meal. Providence Bagel is the best place for a fast meal in the early morning or lunch. Get in and get out or don't even bother getting out and just order in your car. The lunch options include BLTs on bagels and things like that. In these bagel places the beverage of choices usually is coffee. Of course they have it here. There's other caffeine options too. Maybe you want something that's cold? They make Razz Bull, which is Red Bull and iced tea. It's $3.99 for a regular. They have blackberry and other flavors too. I had a sesame bagel with the chive vegan cream cheese. It's $4.98 for a bagel with the vegan cream cheese. They load it up. At lunch they have lunch meats and more like actual sandwiches that just come on a bagel. They often are busy so you'll have to wait but it's easier to get wrong orders fixed when you go inside. Avoid the drive thru and just go inside. It's faster often. The drive thru is always backed up and it orders are more accurate when you go in there. read more

Wanted a bagel, ordered an everything with jalapeno crème cheese, toasted. Bagel and cream cheese came out to something like 5.50. Ok Bagel,not great but ok, but toasted is toasted, not warmed but toasted, no way anyone could call this warmish bagel toasted. Additionally Jalapeno cream cheese should taste like it has jalapeños in the mix, this cream cheese tasted like plain cream cheese with a very slight hint of pepper. I try again and again only to be generally disappointed. @ 5.55 Now? read more

Bought a half a dozen variety of bagels at 7:00 AM for some friends. We were in disbelief, did they just sell week old bagels. You would think buying bagels at 7:00 AM they would be fresh, 6 very different bagels all hard as rocks and could not even cut them with a knife. I will never return and neither should anyone else. Any super market has a better bagel than this place. Wow Providence Bagel sure went downhill. read more

When I arrived at the Providence location, my order wasn't ready. After much back-and-forth among the employees, a man told me it would be ready in 20 minutes. A woman came out of the kitchen to tell me that my online order was for the North Providence location and that's why it wasn't ready. I brought the order up on my phone which showed the Providence location. Next, the man behind the counter told me my order was for the North Providence store, etc. FINALLY, when my order was ready, a different woman brought it out to me, telling me my order went to the North Providence store. WTAF?!?! Three different people gave me the same BULLSHIT story while making me wait an extra 20 minutes! And the food was meh. How does this place stay open? read more

Asked for a ham egg and cheese bagel toasted, got cold ham, no toasted bagel, I also asked for salt, pepper ketchup, no salt or pepper, and they gave me ketchup packets, bagel was filled with ham juice that went all over my car. Bagel was not cut properly when I went to pick up 1/2 the other side went up with it. All in all my two-year-old daughter could make a better bagel. $22 for two shitty bagels. DO NOT GO HERE- go to the store and pick up the cheapest ham and bagels and thats the same thing there serving you. read more

My wife and I ate at the North Providence location on Mineral Spring. We went there today because they advertised.. On their website that they have gluten free options. We have a tough time finding places where my wife.. Can eat with me and not worry about aftereffects. On last year's anniversary vacation.. We frequented New Hampshire kitchens.. That catered to her Celiac when we dined out.. And there was an awesome bagel place.. So we decided to try a similar venue locally.. The staff were super pleasant.. But struggled with GF questions. The cashier was able to volunteer.. That GF food was oven toasted and not prepared.. In the toasters used for gluten.. And they asked if this was an allergy or preference.. So that they could take precautions. When my wife asked if the cream cheese spreads.. Were individual customer takeaways.. Or common use containers.. The answer came back, common use.. So she had her expensive bagel plain. She enjoyed that and my French toast bagel sandwich. With maple syrup, egg, cheese and sausage was delicious. The emphasis like in a lot of restaurants today.. Was on keeping the drive through fast.. The dining room was clean, but had a broken cabinet. The men's room was clean.. But the door was scribbled on with grafitti. Would I eat there again? If I had a GF dining partner, yes.. Because I expect to pay more for that.. The dining room music was at a volume.. That made hearing the cashier tough.. But she and the one she asked questions of.. Were patient with us newbies.. Even while trying to answer questions.. At the same time on the DT headsets. Overall, it was a good experience.. read more

The staff here are super friendly and helpful, as soon as I arrived I was greeted and assisted. I had never been here before, and didn't really know what to expect so I had a couple of questions. Let me start by saying, the portion size of these bagels and the cream cheese are generous! Seriously, the cream cheese is oozing out the edges (in a good, nay great, way) and the bagel was enough for both myself and my SO to share! I opted for an onion bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. My thought being to mix savory with sweet and it was the right decision for us! The onion bagel has lots of onion flakes on top that really give it a nice pop of flavor. The outside texture has a slight crispness to it while the interior is nice and chewy. Not in a 'ow, this hurts my jaw' way, more of a 'wow, that's a nice texture' way. Very nice bagel! The honey walnut cream cheese has just a hint of honey sweetness complimenting the smooth creaminess of the whipped cream cheese. And they really load that cream cheese onto the bagel. Mmmmm, mmm. The savory onion, against that slightly sweet, velvety cream cheese made a delicious balance of flavors and textures. The bagel, is cut in half (like a sandwich) making it easy to fit in your mouth without getting that delicious cream cheese on your cheeks. At the time of writing this review, orders are placed on line, through their website and picked up. Walk-in service is not available. The order page might take a minute to sort out, but they list the available bagel flavors, the available cream cheese flavors an assortment of beverages and so on. Select which location you will pick up from first, then your bagel choice and so on using the tabs at the top of the screen to move from section to section. A couple of things I appreciate about this business (besides the bagels that is) are first the paper bag they use is made in the U.S.A. Thank you for that! It's sturdy enough to reuse if you so choose, and recyclable. Second is the coffee cup is also paper as well as the heat sleeve. I appreciate small thoughtful touches like that, so thank you Providence Bagel. I look forward to seeing you again soon. read more

Used to be great but has gone significantly downhill! Don't waste your time or money anymore. Waited 20 minutes for 2 bagel sandwiches while only 1 other customer was in the store. Paid drove home. They didn't put the bacon that is supposed to come on the sandwich, OR the turkey I requested and for which I was charged. This is now a bagel with cream cheese, lettuce and tomato, not nearly worth the $11.18 I was charged before tax. Wish I could take the THANKS back I had given the staff! read more

I used to love this place. As a NJ native, who never toasts a fresh bagel, this was one of the closest replicas of what I could get back home. Nice size, great chew, nice crust, good schmear of great tasting cream cheese, and an excellent amount of toppings. Up until 2020 I'd go here a few times a month for an everything on the way to work, and even more often depending on their special weekend bagels, and they were consistently good. I could grab one for that morning and 4 or so for the next few days, and they still had a great texture. Maybe by day three they needed toasting, which at that point is expected. Either way, I was super happy. I'm not sure if it's that they opened too many locations, or the pandemic really changed things for them, but it's rare for me to get a bagel I'm happy with now. All three of the everything bagels I grabbed today were way over baked, with a firm, not chewy center, and sadly this isn't the first time. I will say they still put a lot of toppings on the bagels, which is better than most places, but it's not even worth it. The everything bagels are overpowered by poppy seeds, and the garlic bagel did not scream garlic to me (a half hour later and I have no lingering garlic breath). Their texture used to be so great, but now my hour old bagels are more dense and harder than the bagels I used to eat three days later when I got them years ago. Aside from the amount of toppings, their everything is almost indiscernible from a Dunkin or grocery store bagel. Their special bagels, i will admit are better than their every day bagels texture wise. I'm not sure if it's because it's a smaller batch and they take more care and pride with these, but they have been noticeably different than their every day menu bagels. The only issue I have is I always get the cream cheese on the side so my wife and I can do a taste test on a quarter (as is vs cream cheese) and see what we prefer and the amount they give lately barely is enough for half a bagel. The extra cost of these bagels with the special cream cheese is getting hard to justify It sucks that they have such great, creative flavors, and I love that they have Taylor Ham / Pork Roll (always ask for extra, worth the price), but I really wish they'd go back to the quality and texture they had before 2020. Maybe it is just the everything bagels since that is the most common, they just churn out as much as they can, but even the garlic lacked the distinctive chew they once had. I know most people in this area like toasted bagels, which maybe that's who their catering more to where the quality isn't important. But for the fresh bagel lovers out there, it's getting harder to recommend this place to people. read more

I ordered an Asiago bagel. The bagel is pretty gritty so it wasn't my favorite. We were the only ones in the drive through.

These bagels are the BEST! But don't take my word for it... just look at the line of cars down the block waiting to order these delicious bagels. My favorite is the Asiago , but they also have weekend specials. If you don't want to wait in that car-line (and to earn reward points!) you can order from their very own App! Then you can just park, run in & grab your bagels that are waiting for you. They have a "Bagel Bundle" which is what we usually get: 13 bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese! That is my absolute favorite made with fresh veggies... like, there are small pieces of carrot in it (don't knock it until you've tried it)! I just looked on their App and for cream cheese flavors they now have: Plain (of course), chive, jalapeño, maple walnut, strawberry, vegan, vegan chive, and Lox spread. read more
