I came into the establishment at lunchtime and was immediately barked at by a woman that they were closing in a few minutes. Bagel selection was very poor and there was no chicken salad. I settled on one of the few bagels left, an egg and cheese on a toasted bagel. The bagel was served burnt so it's difficult to say how good they might be, but my first impression was there was nothing to write home about! I have had supermarket bagels that were more appealing. The combination of poor food and poor service left me feeling unwelcome and unsatisfied. I will not be coming back. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The customer service is amazing and honestly, I think THEY are the best bagels in Connecticut. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Family owned and you can tell- they make you feel like family when you're here too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Come support this local shop. read more

Best bagels around, light as a cloud! Got one salt bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. And a BLT however it comes on a plain bagel. OMG, best of both worlds! Staff is friendly on any given day. You should expect to wait up to 10 minutes if they're busy. (Which is most of the times I've been in) Well worth the wait! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space isn't giant as you would expect for a bagel shop. But still a good amount of seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been here a few times over the years for breakfast and I'm always satisfied. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a decent assortment of bagels to choose from. And they always customize their breakfast sandwiches to my liking. I would recommend getting here early on the weekends because they sometimes sell out of certain bagel flavors. read more

Best bagels around all over Avon, Canton and Simsbury neighborhood. Freshly made everyday and great bagel sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Come on Saturdays and Sundays, and you'll end up seeing all the locals come to this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Looking for a delicious breakfast sandwich? Try a sausage, egg and cheese on a fresh warm or toasted bagel for a protein-packed start to your day. I probably should have taken a picture of the whole sandwich but it looked too good. Not the start on the other half. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great people, warm and friendly atmosphere and good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The bagels are the best in the area. Their coffee options are terrific too. The owner and his wife are genuine people. You can tell that this place is a staple in the community. read more

Best bagels in CT. My husband brings a few dozen to work at UConn Health Center and his staff LOVES them. Their cream cheese is also wonderful. if you need more than a dozen at a time, best to order a day ahead of time because they always sell out. read more

This was a solid 4 experience. I was not disappointed. After reading all the reviews - I guess I could have been. Stopped in 15 min before they were due to close (12:45 pm) on a Thursday. I happened to be in Avon shopping and wanted a quick bite. I love bagels. They are life. Always looking for a new authentic (small business) bagel place so this caught my eye. There were 4 people working. A man (the owner perhaps) was super friendly. The 2 girls behind the counter were also super friendly - didn't rush me at all despite it being almost closing time. I agree with others that it's a tad pricey but I got a bagel sandwich and seltzer for just over $12. I'm not sure you can get anything cheaper these days. I had a tomato basil bagel toasted with tuna, prov, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. There was really nothing I could complain about. Everything was really tasty. There were still plenty of bagel options - a complaint by many others. Maybe the weekends are a bit more crazy?!? I'd pop in again if I was around that area! read more

Fantastic bagel shop. One of the very few places in this area that reminds me of the bagels I have in new york, and it's priced similarly as well. Getting a bagel isn't a $10 endeavor and I think this place is better than blue house too read more

Easily the worst bagel I've ever had. It is so bad I can only describe it as insulting. If I actively tried to make a worse bagel I would fail. It is doughy and flavorless. Whoever owns this place should be embarrassed. To make matters worse, at 10am they were sold out of just about every kind of bagel. I went in with the intention of buying a dozen and left with two. I would maybe give them a pass if they had been nice at all, but the woman was absolutely nasty to me for no reason whatsoever. On top of that, none of the employees were wearing masks which I found to be rather disgusting considering we're in an ongoing pandemic, but if I contracted covid and died because of it I would take solace in the fact that I never had to eat another bagel from this place again. I would rather starve than return. read more

The Bagel Chalet - Awful bagel - Bagels Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

I wish I could give partial stars! The bagels themselves are 5 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bagel Chalet is one of those cute, local spots that are dying off in our modern world.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is friendly, the bagels are delish, and there is a reason everyone loves it here. The only downside is that everyone knows it's the best bagel in town. I've had plenty of near perfect experiences here but once or twice they were sold out of my fav bagels and there was a bit of a wait. I wish I could give 4.7 or 4.8 stars. read more

I never am able to actually get a picture of my bagels from Bagel Chalet because once they are home, they are gone!! I have lived in Avon for 4+ years and just recently discovered this amazing bagel shop. My first time in I was hooked! The amazing young lady behind the counter a told me about the pizza bagel with the chive and garlic cream cheese - I have been unable to get any other bagel since!! My wife loved the BLT on a cheddar bagel. I can't wait to keep trying everything on the menu! read more

Hands down the best bagels of my entire life. They are always incredible. Don't even need to toast them they're so good. The staff is so friendly & remember the smallest details about you or your family/life. Plenty of seating if you choose to stay & a good atmosphere both inside & out. Creative combinations and always willing to make your ideas come to life. This is truly the BEST bagel place. read more

I stumbled upon this place while looking for a quick breakfast. I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly gentleman behind the counter. He was lovely to chat with and genuinely cared about the customers. This is probably the only place left in CT where you can get a quality bacon egg and cheese for less than $5! Something about their cream cheese makes this a top-tier bagel spot; it's so soft and melty as opposed to other places that use big generic tubs of cream cheese. I saw that this spot was filled with regulars (always a good sign). This is a small casual bagel spot with lots of character and prices that probably haven't changed since 2005! read more

Needed to order a dozen bagels for an event later in the day (what better way to spread love) and was refused that service as they do not honor that the day of. Laughable. I've never had that issue in the hundred plus bagel shops I've been to in New Jersey or New York. Prep for a small percentage of customers to do that even if it's not in advanced. Very awkward of a bagel shop to not have the wits to do that. On a brighter note, i know just about every other place would do that so I'll just have to mark this place off my list for future events. read more

Omg... I was craving a plain bagel with strawberry whipped cream but this was way better than expected. The bagel was fresh and perfectly toasted. The strawberry cream cheese was probably the best I've had, with real strawberries in it. I also got a snickers coffee which was pretty good too. Not the best picture, but I couldn't wait to get home to eat it lol read more

The Bagel Chalet - Plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

I'm not in Avon often but I had an early appointment and wanted a good breakfast sandwich. I wanted to try a local place instead of a chain. I did like their variety of offers to suit my needs. Since I often track what I eat 80% of the time. I liked that they offered healthy selections and can gut out a bagel to minimize the carbs. I understand that COVID change a lot of things for everyone but when I walked in I didn't feel greeted as a welcomed customer. She wasn't helpful and seemed to have a bad morning but I remained cheerful. I tried their sesame bagel with egg whites, salsa and avocado. It was in the blander side in my opinion. The avocado could of used just a little bit of salt and black pepper to compliment the eggs to balance the salsa. Overall an OK experience but I don't think I will be returning. read more

Great bagels and wonderful flavored cream cheese, usually sold out really early! Id give them more stars but I Was blown away by the prices! They were triple what we're used to, I honestly think we were overcharged read more

Prices entirely out of line. GET REAL. I love bagels and know of many bagel bakeries where bagel sandwiches are $5 -$7. I will go there instead. read more

Best bagels in the greater Hartford area. Everything is reasonably priced and the service is always great!

Bagels are sooo good and the staff is great! Try the Jalapeño Cheddar bagel. They also bag up yesterday's bagels for less which is a great deal! read more

Cashed in our Living Social "$5 gets you $10" deal for breakfast today. We decided on the same thing -egg whites and ham on a multi-grain bagel. Oops- they didnt have 2 multigrain bagels left- and it was just 8:30 in the morning? A vast selection of bagel types is only effective when you actually have them available to sell. The breakfast sandwiches were good- hot, fresh, and delicious. The interior of the store was very nice, as were the personnel, and the selection of sandwiches, wraps, and salads. The Snickerdoodle coffee was good, the cinammon coffee was weak. Oh -the take-out coffee cup came with a very nifty plastic top, the style of which I had never seen before. It had a plastic tab that you could slide, and it simultaneously covered and uncovered the little drinking hole. LOL- it doesn't take much to amuse me. All in all, a very solid place. read more

On a whim of wanting a bagel, I drive by this place nearly daily and usually the mood strikes after they are closed, naturally. So this morning my husband pipes up with wanting a pre ride bagel, well I'm down... so I'm getting The Bagel Chalet bagels! I get there this morning, mildly busy but very efficient and quick turn around times, with a plethora of flavors and combinations available. I ordered the garlic bagel with cheddar jalapeño spread, my husband had the cinnamon raisin with strawberry, both excellent bagels. Soft and chewy but crunchy and soooo perfectly flavored!!! I also impulsively grabbed a few other bagels and some cream cheese to go. I'm currently kicking my self for not buying some of the jalapeño spread that stuff is just delightful and I'd probably eat everything dipped in that!!! I am so glad I tried this place and you will be too!! They also have plenty of parking and a large menu of sandwiches and coffee! read more

Sometimes, it's good to go back to places a few more times. You discover things. And Bagel Chalet has definitely grown on me. First, the owners are super nice. They're promoters in town and helpful. Then the coffee. Delicious locally brewed and always hot. My wife loved their cinnamon coffee so much she asked for the recipe too. And the bagels? Well, they're not my favorite but they have grown on me. And the bagel sandwiches are fresh and better than some others. A cooked egg (not microwaved) helps. Now, count me a convert. Thumbs up to Bagel Chalet. read more

Great breakfast sandwiches... friendly staff. Glad they are hanging in there thru COVID-19! Keep up the good work read more

Disregard any of the bozos that give this place less than 5 stars. These ate the most flavorful and texturally pleasing bagels you can find in northern CT. They never disappoint read more

Furthest thing from a New York Style Deli. Let me explain, If you call yourself the Bagel Chalet and you have the words New York on your sign, then the Bagels should be New York style. These bagels are not New York Style. If you took a Kaiser roll and a real NY bagel, the consistency of these is somewhere in the middle. They do not have the slight crunch that a NY Bagel has. They were not likely boiled in a slightly alkaline bath before being baked as is the treatment that all NY bagels receive. They make their own cream cheese which is less firm and they slap it on thick so I needed about 10 napkins to get through my sesame bagel. Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese should actually be called Bagel with Lox Cream cheese as I was hard pressed to find any Lox and when I did I could not taste it because of the glob of runny cream cheese. Did it taste terrible? No. Was it NY style anything? No. Did I stop at Brueghers bagels on my way home? Yes. read more

If you want a bagel sandwich that's full of flavor, than stop at The Bagel Chalet. I'm partial to the Southwestern Chicken Wrap (I substitute bagels to mix it up!), which is made with real chicken vs. deli meat. Speaking of bagels, there's a nice variety to either have your bagel straight-up or do what I do, have sandwiches on different bagels, Yum! I frequent restaurants for 2 reasons -- food quality & the Staff. Bagel Chalet has both, especially with Jessica, the owner, who always pleasantly greets you with her perpetual smile. It's almost as if you're walking into your friend's house. Take Bagel Chalet out for a spin; you won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious bagels with a smile. The staff is very nice and attentive and the food is delicious. Zero complaints and only compliments to them. Some weird items that need to be addressed with the management, however: the $7.50 minimum on credit cards when a coffee and a bagel run less than that. Their boss makes them hassle customers when you dont hit the minimum - yet will still run your card. Raise your prices or drop the minimum to below what 90% of your customers will spend. It's a nuisance and keeps me from coming in because I don't carry cash. The sign on the door is tacky. don't bring in outside coffee because they have Omar coffee. please leave starbucks outside... thats fair, no outside food or drinks. The problem is they brew their coffee so weak and its not good. I can see why people would want bring their own and obviously has happened. Ok rant over. Go get a bagel! read more

Friendly service and great bagels. Get them with one of their great cream cheese flavors (olive pimento is my fave) or a breakfast sandwich which are also delicious. Good iced coffee flavors, too! This is my go to in the area for sure. read more

Finally had the chance to stop back in and again the food made for the start of a wonderful day! The overall vibe is much nicer when you walk in read more

Great bagels and very friendly service. Stopped in for takeout and got a few cheddar bagels and a coffee. I think their bagels are as good as any other in the area. I k ow people rave about Brookside Bagels and they're good too but I think this will be my new go to. The coffee is very good too, lots of options. I'll be back soon! read more

I was visiting from California and wanted to get an east coast bagel. I walked in on a Sunday morning and the place was empty. The guy working there didn't even look at me. The service was terrible and the selection was very slim. There was only one bagel left on a Sunday morning! Save your money and time and avoid the place. read more

Wide variety of tasty bagels with excellent texture. I went with a cinnamon raisin this time and it was soft, pillowy, and chewy. Just on the teetering edge of being underdone but perfect after a quick toast. Great value compared to other bagel joints in the area. read more

Came in a few weeks ago for a bagel and juice for breakfast. Nothing particularly wrong with the experience, except the only juice option I saw was one of those huge Nantucket Juice Co. things which was twice as much as I wanted. Bagel was very typical, kinda small but not awful. read more
