I was in my cycling gear and we wanted to take our bagels to Look Park for a picnic. Imagine my surprise when my bagels were toasted, the cream cheese was melted, and I had an oozing disgusting mess to deal with at the park. it was midmorning. The bagels were fresh for the life of me. I cannot understand why toasting would be the default rather than fresh. Or ask your customers if they want it toasted or un toasted. What I wound up with was a disgusting mess and a disappointing experience.

The fish was delightfully salted and greasy with a gorgeous lemon flavor. Knish was a nice surprise savory and tender, though could use a little more potato to fill it out and make it a meal rather than a snack. I went the carnivorous route, but was very impressed by the spread of vegan offerings. Will definitely be back.

While it was good, the rye bread looked so much better!! Pastrami vegan as it was amazingly delicious taste and mouth feel. Vinegar based Potato Salad had dill and also delicious. Others wished for mayo type base which wasn't offered. Not included, I missed having a pickle slice to go with it. I noticed they offer 3 types but not new dill, my fav. They offer real meat but, I'll say again, my first vegan pastrami was very nice!!

Gluten friendly bagels…read more Hear me out here when I say, there are no words to describe how amazing these are. Homemade, scratch bagels, gluten removed, light, fluffy, soft, squishy. I used to be able to eat their regular bagels, but now I'm gluten free, I have an intolerance. My husband and I travel (sometimes very far) in search of the best gluten free products. (We have flown to Nevada, twice, to get our favorite gluten free pizza). I was so excited when I saw that Comfort created a gluten friendly bagel, took the drive to their Westfield location and tried one. I bought a couple to take home incase they were good. I SHOULD'VE BOUGHT THEM ALL OUT FOR THE DAY. Unfortunately I was already on my way home when I realized how delicious they were, but I will now be traveling 30 minutes to Westfield every-time they have a batch out for sale. I had a plain gluten friendly bagel with scallion cream cheese (homemade as well) and it was so delicious, not even overly chewy! You could buy these bagels if you are gluten intolerant and use them as bread. They're perfect. Pictured here is what I bought to take home, gluten friendly Asiago Parmesan bagels and roasted garlic cream cheese. The gentleman working gave me a sample of the cream cheese and it was delicious- had to buy it! They have a LARGE selection of homemade spreads and they have gluten free sesame and everything bagels as well. Trust me when I say RUN, DONT WALK, to get one (or 15) of these GF bagels. They are so worth it. I'd drive hours to get these, I'd probably fly to get them too. Just try one. Thank me later.

The quality of the Bagels is the best available in the towns surrounding Hadley. The prep-time was…read morereasonable, and the bagel and coffee was brought to my table. My preference is for the non-whipped cream cheese, because the whipped version made bagel difficult to eat without making a royal mess of yourself. I don't know whether that is an option. The coffee was a little better than that generally available in Western Massachusetts, and didn't necessitate adding cream to make it potable. Do take a detailed look at some of the tables--they may give you ideas for a creative project, and they do add to the general ambiance. I enjoyed the experience and the service, but now I know about their cream cheese, and shall ask to an alternative when I eat there again!

Many years later (7 years IS many in my book) and who knew I would find myself back at Tandem…read moreBagel. Reading my old review, I was all about the coffee and breakfast sandwiches and that still holds true, but this most recent trip was a big batch of bagels. As a Jersey girl, my standards are high but Tandem met them all once again. We were stopping by family for breakfast so we preordered a variety bag of a dozen bagels. Everything from salt to French toast was in the mix so there was something for everyone. We also got a tub of the plain cream cheese and a tub of the veggie cream cheese, both were gone almost immediately. We (luckily) preordered ahead of time. If you are stopping by on a weekend morning, this is the way to go. It was a madhouse, and I am sure it moves quick, but it was amazing to just pop in, grab our bag and head out. If you're craving a bagel, this seems to be the place to go.

I inquired about it, and when i explained that that was what i really wanted I was told no, i couldn't switch it So, NOT happy- it's customer service it's a BAGEL and they will be closed soon Not cool Tandem ..... not cool at all I'm a local business manager so I'm familiar with customer service in this climate and sometimes, it's worth it to "swap out a bagel" that I would've even paid for...

The other day, someone…read moreasked on FB where they could get the best bagels, and legit nearly every comment out of the 99 comments recommended this place. They are located on N Main St, Leominster on a pretty busy main road. Pulling in, there are about 13 spots all around with an additional 5 spots in front of the connected business. Actually, now that I am writing this review and referencing Google Maps, I had no idea there were several more spots behind the business. Either way, it can be a little hectic if you pull into the lot during a busy hour as it can be tricky to wait or navigate around other people trying to back out of their spot. This place feels like a time capsule. Everything appears old fashioned and unchanged in the 13+ years I've been coming here. The large glass windows lets in a lot of natural light if you decide to stay in and eat. I've always had lovely interactions with all of the staff here. As expected the bagels here are top tier. I will admit I'm no bagel expert or snob, but even my amateur experience can recognize these guys sell bagels many quality tiers above store-bought bagels. My go-to item to get here is actually their Chicken Salad Club Panini. The bread is perfectly toasted, the raw onions have a great bite to them, the bacon adds more texture and saltiness and the tangy honey mustard ties it all together to make one of my most favorite sandwiches. Another treat I love to get is their Pistachio Muffin microwaved with butter. It is heavenly, as are a lot of their other muffins. As you approach the counter, they offer a lot of their cream cheeses for sale. I am obsessed with their French Vanilla cream cheese. I cannot recommend this place enough. 10/10

Another woman was in the back so she didn't really see me. There wasn't any move for the woman behind the bar to get the woman in the back to help me - this went on for about 5-8 minutes. I wouldn't have minded waiting but to not be acknowledged or expressing, "Sorry, it'll be just a moment," is another thing. Eventually the woman on the phone noticed a growing line so called for the woman in the back to come help us out. My order was fairly simple so everything was pretty straight forward. The woman taking my order was very pleasant and nice - she asked how I was doing, took my order, and then asked if I needed anything else. Simple, straight forward, friendly - all that I could ask for really in customer service! I just got a bagel with cream cheese, it came out to be $2.88... not bad! I'll likely be coming back because it smells great whenever I walk by. Thank you for the bagel, Bruegger's! This place is one of the better places in downtown Amherst.
