I've been eating Rosenfeld's bagels for years and I they are my favorite in the area. I love the Marble bagels especially, but they are all delicious. I love a fresh toasted bagel on a saturday morning with cream cheese, red onion and cucumber. Such a simple joy. They also have the best challah bread! read more

Updated. Usually get lox. Was charged for lox and they didn't put any on the most recent visit. $20 for two bagels only to get home and have no lox at all. Wasn't worth the drive back. I'm really disappointed. This is a terrible system where the customer has to say what they ordered to the cashier who had no contact with the person making the order. Really bummed that this happened. read more

Paid almost $20 for a bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomato, red onion, cucumber, capers. bagel was stale and tough at 11 am. not cut in half, and not able to eat the sandwich without everything squirting out. They also left off the capers. read more

Solid take out only bagel shop in Newton. They have a parking lot but it's very limited. Inside is straightforward, nothing fancy and no tables to eat at. I ordered a poppy seed bagel with cream cheese which I liked. Wasn't as toasted as I prefer but I still enjoyed it. Cream cheese was fresh. Menu is simple, only hot coffee, juices, bagels, and certain sandwiches. It is also kosher friendly so they do not serve products with egg! I recommend this place if you want to purchase items to eat at home! read more

So sad to see a local place fall so far. I have been coming here for years and I won't be coming back. Their customer service is truly atrocious. They can barely be bothered to look up from their phones to help you. They are charging top end prices for a bottom end experience. read more

My comment echoes the GW's August 1 comment. I have bought bagels from Rosnfeld's for over 40 years and have always been confident that the bagels would be fresh and well made. Last Saturday, we bought a dozen, and I knew from the time I opened the bag that something was not right. The bagels were flat and kind of dense. When cut, the texture was just not the same. I called Rosenfeld's a few days later to let them know that something was not right on the weekend.. The woman who presented herself as a manager was instantly adversarial and impatient. She kept asking me what I wanted. My money back? New bagels? No, no, and no. I called to let an establishment I had always seen as the go to for bagels that their weekend product was less than underwhelming. I was met not with a "we appreciate your business and welcome your opinion" but with unprofessional irritation. read more

Dear god, I am so over this place. For the longest time, they had the Newton bagel market cornered. But their customer service is SO DISMAL that I would rather simply not eat bagels than go there. They have really screwed me over multiple times. Specifically, when I place a big brunch order in advance, and the morning of the event they are out of something, they simply cancel your entire order shortly before it's due. They don't call, they don't attempt to troubleshoot, nothing. You're just left without a plan. I get that they are popular and therefore don't need my business - and they certainly act like it. So they won't get it! So glad NYC Bagel has opened, and honestly, Whole Foods bagels have been there for me in a pinch! read more

Attempted to place large catering order well in advance. Monica who answered the phone was incredibly rude. I pride myself on being pleasant and respectful, her attitude was shocking. Called at an off time to make sure it wasn't going to be during breakfast or lunch rush. Hung up on me after berating me. Been a customer for 40 years, really disappointing read more

On a cold day I was in the area for a quick breakfast sandwich, usually like egg and cheese on a bagel with a hot coffee. It's in a plaza, parking is limited, free and small. You go downstairs and it has no chairs and tables to eat. I was so disappointed! Lots of bagels, cream cheese to choose from. No egg sandwiches. Another disappoint. Coffee was in thermos . Another disappoint. Prices weren't on for coffee, so I skipped. My friend and I had to eat in the car. The bagel was good, fresh, vegetable cream cheese excellent. Just no place to eat, so beware. It's a take out only. But lots of bagels to choose from. read more

Good bagels, picked up a dozen from here for the fam a few times. Our favorites are the classic plain bagel, everything, and sesame bagels. They always come out fresh and are great to freeze and toast for the next day. There isn't seating here so it's only really for takeout but I would recommend it, some of the better bagels I've had in the Newton Centre area. read more

We have been customers for close to 40 years! The bagels and cream cheeses continue to be really good, however, they are quite short of customer service starting from their manager. They are rude and unprofessional unlike the "original" personnel. read more

Best bagel we tried in several weeks in western Boston suburbs. It had the right height, chew and when we asked for butter, we didn't get a chunk, but a reasonable spread. Staff was quick and courteous. A little hard to find the place if you don't know where you're going (a garden level establishment). But great bagel. read more

Not cheap, but excellent bagels, with a great variety, excellent plain and flavored cream cheese, and the best Challah in the greater Boston area! read more

Quick easy and delicious. Busy in a small space but seems to work like clockwork every visit.

I was staying in Waltham and was hungry for a bagel. After looking at Yelp I decided to head to Newton and try Rosenfeld bagel. It's a bit difficult to find and parking is challenging but the aroma inside will be your reward. Small place with only limited outdoor seating. They specialize and focus on bagels, not coffee, not breakfast sandwiches..,.bagels. The bagels are good. I chose a poppy toasted with cream cheese, and an onion toasted with butter. If you're used to New York style this is somewhat close. A bit too bready and lacking (gluten) or chew in my opinion. Also the toppings (poppy seeds, onion, sesame) isn't really abundant so the flavor of the bagel kind of lacks. Not sure if this fell off before but more stuck on would be better. With limited decent bagel options around this was definitely satisfactory and much better than a chain bagel. Give them a try. read more

Just the best. As a Long Islander currently living in Boston the bagels come pretty close if not up to par!

Definitely a good quality bagel. Rosenfeld's is more of a grab and go spot with a variety of bagels and other baked goods available. The shop isn't fancy but has some delicious, soft challah, a variety of Hamantaschen and bagels which I found to be a lot better than other hyped up spots in metro Boston. The staff was quick to take my order and ring me up but it wasn't busy when I visited. I'll definitely be back to try more bagel flavors and cream cheeses. read more

Pretty good bagels with a lot of cream cheese where it spews out. No seating area, you just buy it to go and eat it at the square. It is super hot inside the bagel shop as fresh bagels are being made. read more

once a week I go to Rosenfeld's to grab 12 of the best bagels anywhere! Real bagels, crust and full of mix-ins. cannot go wrong. Great service, polite staff, reasonable prices. read more

Bagels, cc, and lox are always fresh and delicious. My husband makes the bagel run, and sometimes finds staff abrupt. But not offended enough to give up their bagels! read more

Solid bagel place! Employees are friendly and they have a large variety of flavors and spreads. Lox bagel was 14$ which is a lot for a bagel but most bagel places charge the same. Definitely one of the better bagel spots in the area! I really enjoyed. There is no seating so you will have to take your bagels to go. Would recommend trying this place next time you want a bagel! read more

Yummy large New York style bagels. Was recommended to go there by a local. It's not the best bagel I've had, but pretty good! Maybe I got the wrong bagel as I went with the pizza bagel. It's a hole in the wall packed with to go bagels and other food you can buy. I felt like it was fairfly decent prices. They had quite a few people in there and because it was small, the service felt very rushed - but this is to be expected of such a small place. read more

Rosenfeld Bagel - a woman standing in front of a bakery - Bagels Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Maybe I was viewing my previous visit (c. 2019) through rose-tinted glasses, but it definitely seems like the quality has gone down since then. I was excited to take my brother here after hyping it up so much, yet I left feeling totally fleeced - $26 for one bagel with cream cheese + one lox bagel sandwich with absolutely zero indication of the prices on the board at the counter. At that price, I thought the sandwich might offer to plan my wedding or at least run some errands for me; however, the bagel remained totally silent, instead, leaking it's caper-water onto my shorts with every rubbery bite. read more

Great bagels, but the rude cashier (rude with zero provocation - ringing up a simple dozen bagels on a credit card) will keep me from coming back. read more

We placed an order for a Kiddush for about 100 people. It included 10 dozen bagels, 5 lbs of lox, vegetables, cream cheese, tuna, etc. It was expensive, but we thought with Rosenfeld it would be exemplary. When we entered the room we were met with blank stares. There were no more bagels. Why? Because only 3 dozen of the 10 dozen bagels had been delivered. What? It was a VERY embarrassing moment and Rosenfeld's mistake, while acknowledged, was never rectified. They said they were sorry but I was the person who had to deal with the fallout. I will never again put my trust in an order being delivered correctly from Rosenfeld's. read more

I was in this morning to pick up an online order that I submitted, paid for, and received confirmation. The pickup was unprofessional and rude. They couldn't find my online order so I proceeded to try and show them my email confirmation. The woman at front refused to look at my email confirmation and repeatedly cut me off while I was trying to be helpful by asking if she wanted to see my order confirmation. She YELLED at me to step outside the store like I did something wrong while she looked for my order. It was the most disturbing/disrespectful interaction I have ever had in a retail establishment. Our family has been going there since 1973 and this is a huge disappointment. On to Kupels! read more

The bagels are still excellent! Definitely give this place a try. However, no place is perfect. I tried the potato bagel and didn't care for it at all. I actually didn't finish it. I also tried the bialy. It was good, but I'm going back to my usual, the salt bagel, the next time I stop in. I can't recommend the small sweet roll I tried either. It was just too sweet for me; it might be perfect for you. There's a large rack of different kinds of coffee cake by the door. I'm going to get one of those next. (Update: it was excellent.) There's also a shelf with challah bread by the checkout. My sister made a French toast casserole recently and had trouble finding challah in Quincy. Now I know where she can get a loaf :) I figured out the parking lot. It's one-way, and you enter at the side of the building. If you're on Centre Street, driving northeast, get in the right turn lane as you approach Beacon Street. There's a large T sign at that corner. Take that right. The entrance to the lot is the next right after that. If you don't see an available space, continue on to the back of the building and go around the loop again. People are constantly coming and going. read more

If it wasn't bad enough that I had never been there before, the rude woman who answers the phone just kept saying, "we're on the corner." Not helpful. I finally found them, with the help of a very nice gentlemen walking around the square (their signage looks nothing like their website sign, by the way) - I picked up my bagels and cream cheese OR so I thought. I got to the office and had bagels and no cream cheese. I called and, again, the rude woman said, when you show me your receipt, I will give you the cream cheese. I said, no you need to send someone with the cream cheese, she said no. I said then credit my account. She is completely and wholly unhelpful. The bagels are quite good but not good enough to put up with being treated so poorly by the vendor. read more

i got a garlic bagel with vegetable cream cheese and it was good, very small local place with nice amount of options. my bagel was $6.50 which i thought was a bit expensive but definitely wouldn't deter me from going back again read more

Get a receipt. Check for (1) a tip you didn't add and (2) Mass. meals tax. If you're buying bagels and a container of cream cheese, you should be taxed as if the establishment is a food store (no tax), not a restaurant (7% tax, includes local tax). read more

For years I have been telling people how wonderful this place is and sending everyone there. The bagels are excellent. Today however, the owner and the counter person could not have been more rude, less professional, bordering on hostile - to the point that I felt the need to write this review. Today I placed an online order and drove from Andover to Newton, expecting my order to be ready. I paid online and received an email confirmation. When I arrived the shop, the counter person told me the store was not accepting orders, there's no way I could have placed an order on the holiday, and to step aside. Just like that. I told her I would show her my confirmation. She said NEXT. Would not even make eye contact. i walked to the back to find someone else to speak with. I saw a man behind another counter at the back of the shop . Turns out the was the owner. I assumed this would be more easily resolved. I explained the situation and he told me no orders were placed or could be placed due to the holiday and that if I had placed one (If!) it would be refunded in a few days. How could it be refunded if it wasn't placed?' I explained that his counter person was extremely rude and he told me "No one me has been rude to you, come on" and walked away. Really? At that point I was digested. I walked out of the store and the counter person was standing outside. i told her that it's very easy to be helpful and kind and it costs absolutely nothing to do so. I looked up and the owner was right there. He looked at me and said "Come on lady, let's go." i have no words for being treated so horribly by a place that I have loved and promoted for years. They should be ashamed of themselves. Not only will I never return or recommend this place, my husband who grew up in Newton, was a customer for over 40 years. He will not return either. read more

I ordered delivery from Uber eats, so this review is just for the bagel. I had an everything bagel with chive cream cheese, nova salmon, tomato, onions and capers. It was delicious! I'm always on the hunt for high quality bagels, and this is definitely up there on my list of favorites in the Boston area. It is a bit pricey. Tomatoes, onion, and capers were an additional $1 each on top of $12 for the nova salmon bagel! read more

Zero stars if I could. Consistent with other reviews I have been going here for years and always dealt with the crappy attitude of the folks at the counters. But today was an especially fun one. Ordered Grubhub for delivery by mistake and realized when I arrived at the restaurant. I asked them about it and they said they couldn't give the order to me. Totally understandable. I asked Grubhub to change it to pick up so I could get it but they said they couldn't. I went back in to the counter to explain to them and see what could be done - I talked to 2 more people at the counter about it. Then one of the guys gave me the order as I was talking to them and I thanked him and walked out. I texted the Grubhub driver telling him I picked it up. 20 mins later I get a call from the head honcho at the store berating me and screaming that I shouldn't have picked up the order and how much money she lost and telling me she won't serve me again. I will gladly not be going here again no problem. What a joke read more

ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel! bagel itself was wonderfully soft and fluffy with a crispy exterior! certainly unlike your classic nyc bagel (not super chewy), but a lovely texture nonetheless. there were also a ton of raisins in here which i LOVED! that being said though, the bagel felt a little plain? it lacked that distinctive molasses-y, subtly sweet flavor that makes a cinnamon raisin bagel a cinnamon raisin bagel. just felt like it was missing a little something! onto the cream cheese -- i tried the honey walnut cream cheese and the strawberry cream cheese! the walnuts in the hwcc tasted a bit questionable? but everything else was good! the strawberry cc also included real chunks of strawberry in it, which i thought was interesting. all in all, a pretty solid joint! not sure if i'd go out of my way for it, but it's definitely worth a try read more

This place rocks. My family's favorite bagel shop. They have a nice shell and chewy on the inside. It's a small interior so very crammed and a bit hectic when busy but the line moves. A bit more than $1 per bagel when ordering a dozen which I think is reasonable. My favorite is the pumpernickel and the bialy. read more

We ordered bagels ahead of time here. It was really easy to do online. We did it first thing in the morning. The bagels were really crunchy and didn't taste fresh which was a bummer. The lox we ordered were good, but i don't think we would get bagels from here again. Very bummed read more

Holy bagel prices here Batman.... 1.95 a single bagel. I ordered a chocolate chip bagel toasted with just butter... charged me $3.42...wow. Bagel was lousy too... overcooked, few chocolate chips and didn't even taste like chocolate chips? No melted chocolate? I don't see reason to return... over rated and expensive... read more

Nothing really tastes fresh it's a bagel shop without eggs bacon or sausage if you can't warm up a bagel and put cream cheese on it at home go here also not an inviting atmosphere was not impressed at all read more

SO RUDE!! The bagels are amazing, don't get me wrong. But early in an empty store, the clerk, on the phone, ignored (silent) me, then punched in a $200 order in front of me. When I asked it that was a mistake, she SNAPS my head off! So: get the and hope she is working that day. read more
