This place is decent to grab a quick bagel or bagel sandwich. The reviews that mention the service are spot on. Every single person that works here is so rude, makes you not want to give them your business. This place is 3 stars, but gets 2 because of how unwelcoming they are. read more

We were desperate for a breakfast meal. All the better restaurants had a long wait so we settled for The Bagel. The food was just meh. The price was a little high for the quality. I think everything was microwaved and not fresh. read more

I decided to write a review for The Bagel because they provided me with a very good breakfast after I was disappointed by my complimentary hotel breakfast and the Harvest Market being closed for renovations. On my third attempt to eat, (very hungry by now), I stopped at the bagel shop with the hope of finding something hot like an egg sandwich. I got a plain bagel, toasted, with egg and cheese and Canadian bacon. It was excellent. The bagel was fresh, plump, and tasty. The Canadian bacon was flavorful, tender, and hot. The egg was scrambled. The cheese was gooey and melty. The sandwich was appropriately wrapped and cut in half for easy handling. That is what you hope for when you order an egg bagel sandwich. The staff was helpful, too. The guy was able to answer my bagel questions and direct me to the waterfall hike location up the road. I also ordered coffee, which was pour your own out of those large pump thermos jugs that a lot of places use. It was decent, comparable to Panera coffee. I am a Starbucks fan so I don't think I should review other coffee. I know everybody has different taste in coffee. Suffice is to say the coffee was hot and I was able to drink it. Overall I thought the place was good and I'd go back again. They had more flavors of bagels than I usually see; so it would be fun to try some of them. read more

Rude service. We were looking at the menu and she kept trying to rush is to order. Then, when we asked for a recommendation for the type of bagel to have with a specific sandwich, she shoved a list of available bagels at us and said "depends on what you like." She seemed very irritated that we were even there in the first place. Maybe she was having a terrible day or something. Don't know. Their food might be great, but we'll never know because we left instead of dealing with the rudeness. read more

I've never been so underwhelmed by a bagel/bagel sandwich. Whole wheat honey bagel had little flavor, was on the smaller side and "the basic" sandwich was just lackluster. Got an iced latte as well, and it was just awful. If I hadn't had a "to go" order I would have brought it back and demanded a refund or remake. Ended up dumping the latte, and certainly won't be returning to The Bagel next time I visit Stowe. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite after hiking. Really friendly staff, yummy food, and peaceful ambiance. The BLT bagel sandwich was delightful, and everyone in my party enjoyed their own sandwiches as well. They also had a neat Nitro Cold Brew canned coffee drink, which not only was good coffee but came kind of pre-frothed for an all around pleasant drinking experience! read more

After driving around Stowe at 6:15 in in the morning in dire search for food, I was relieved to see these good folks open in an otherwise barely rising town. A tall delicious house blend coffee and a fresh poppyseed breakfast bagel with Taylor ham and I can survive a busy day. Nice mellow folk and atmosphere, with a rather groovy choice of music. I dig it. read more

Pretty good bagel joint. Bagels aren't NY/NJ size but they taste great and have a decent amount of topping options. Sandwiches were unique and tasty. Def recommend for a quick bite to eat. read more

Im from Montreal and these are as good as the bagels found there, a great variety of sandwiches and over 20 bagel varieties. read more

See all

This is my favorite bagel I've ever had! I come here every morning when I'm in Stowe. Staff is so friendly and keeps the line moving quick. Love this place! read more

Great little bagel shop! This is like a homegrown Dunkin's--simple food fast. A little pricy, but the bagels are great and the breakfast sandwiches are very good. read more

I really don't understand the negative reviews because we had a great experience here. Bagels were great and customer service was wonderful. Everyone was very polite and bagels came out fresh and quickly. Great spot to stop before hitting the mountain. Highly recommend the everything bagel, great flavor. read more

First off, I am a former New Yorker and consider myself a bagel snob. Ordered a bagel sandwich and coffee not expecting too much. Was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a deliciously chewy on the outside but soft and warm on the inside pumpernickel bagel. It was light and not heavy at all. The eggs came with Vermont cheddar cheese. Great way to start the day of biking through the beautiful Vermont countryside. read more

I bought a town pool gift certificate..and tried to use it today. it expired 10 days ago.. The OWNER was very rude and shaking his head at me, and not speaking in a very good tone to me..I paid for this certificate, either I get the bagels or I should get my money back..This place does not have a very good rep. for customer service. THe owners put their employees in a bad mood. Here is a note for you sir! If you cant be friendly in the business world to YOUR customers then maybe you should be out of business! I will NOT recommend your place to anyone that I come across, and I will make sure that everyone knows NOT TO GO THERE! Ps...Rumor has it is the owner has a nickname..THE BAGEL NATZI (like the soup natzi from the t.v show Seinfield" read more

Wanted to get something in our bellies before a day on the slopes! The receptionist at our hotel recommended this place.. Average breakfast sandwiches at a decent price (much cheaper than you'd pay on the mountain).. We came on a weekday, place was not very busy..service was extremely lacking..we were very polite but made to feel as if we did not belong..the women behind the counter were rude and cold.. I'd skip this place the next time I'm in town. read more

Super yummy bagel sandwiches and friendly service! We're always looking for good places to grab a bite after riding before our 4 hour drive back to MA, and this is a perfect spot. I'd much rather have a late lunch of one of their fresh sandwiches than pay $25 for greasy pizza and chicken fingers on the mountain! read more

My wife and I stopped here on our way back home from local Stowe. We wanted to have a nice bagel for breakfast, and figured this was a place to go. I have definitely had better. Granted, I'm from Jersey and our bagels are pretty solid, The Bagel could do better in one major category: the BAGEL. I ordered the country ham, egg, and cheese on a toasted bagel. The bagel was paper thin and flavorless. It almost seemed to crumble as I bit away -- never a good thing. The other aspect of the bagel was actually okay -- the ham was tasty, the cheese was nice and melted, and the egg was...OKAY. Nothing special at all. Would I go somewhere else next time we're back at Stowe next winter for a bagel? Yes, I would. read more

Sandwiches were basic and not great. But more importantly the owner Max has a terrible attitude. He gave my friend the wrong change, went into the back, then came back out and made a huge scene over a dollar. The amount isn't really the worst part, he was just very rude about it, considering it was his mistake. Do not recommend. read more

Stopped in for breakfast before a big day of skiing. The staff is very friendly and the bagels came out fast. I had the Early Riser and my husband had the Late Riser. Both were delish and kept us full all morning. The only downfall was the tight seating but that wouldn't deter me from going again. read more

Let me start by saying that I'm a NYer and probably more picky about my bagels than the next person. We have a ton of good bagel places on Long Island, but I'm always willing to give an "out of town" bagel a try. This place is TRYING, but falls short. First of all, the service is slow. Everyone was pretty nice behind the counter, but there was a long line, and I can only imagine it's a lot worse during ski season. The selection of bagel flavors was pretty good. The pricing was ok. My bagel sandwich was really, just.. meh. The asiago bagel was dry and crumbly instead of doughy with a slightly crunchy exterior. The cheese was slightly burnt. The eggs for the sandwiches were all cooked in the microwave. The best part of the sandwich was the cheese on the inside. My advice- skip it! read more

Great bagels, good coffee, good service. We enjoyed our lunch here.

Easy, excellent quality. Worth the wait if there's a line. Local favorite. Nice owners. Excellent coffee. Reasonable prices. What's not to Love. Open earlier than most. Definitely a must for visitors. Not fancy. Simple. Straight forward. Coffee, bagels, and some healthy alternatives for quick snack. read more

Decent bagels, OK breakfast sandwiches but the coffee is less than adequate. I would have expected a little more care and sophistication with the java given their breakfast focus but came away somewhat disappointed. On the positive side, I did not experience the indifferent service noted by some other reviewers. read more

A good option for some quick breakfast before you go shred. Bagels are tasty by themselves, or with classic egg & meat, but become very expensive. Coffee is adequate and the line moves in a timely manner. Worth a try when you are in Stowe for some food on the go. read more

I have stopped at The Bagel perhaps eight times in the year I've lived here. The selection is adequate, and overall, everything tastes pretty good. Unfortunately, the horrendous service has resulted in my completely abstaining from ever visiting again. It is embarrassing, at best. It's almost as if they are unhappy that they're so busy. Shouldn't they be thrilled to have so many customers? It does not appear that they are understaffed, so I struggle with what exactly it is that has caused rude cashiers and indifferent bagel sandwich makers to flock to this place. Look around. Stowe has better to offer. read more

Great selection of delicious bagels! I had a toasted red pepper bagel with veggie cream cheese and my boyfriend had a sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel. All bagels are made fresh daily with dozens of flavors and varieties to choose from. read more

surprisingly good bagels, even for this guy who grew up in nyc. the place runs more like a sandwich shop, but the bagels were good and if ever we are back up here this will be on my breakfast list. i had an everything bagel toasted with butter and it was decent. read more

The Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

Great place to grab a fresh bagel. Highly recommend. I had the everything bagel with lox cream cheese and it did not disappoint. Very fresh.

OK...the bagels are good...if you catch them when they've actually been baked and emerge with a tan. Saturday mornings don't seem to involve a pass through the ovens for any of the baked goods but one can always hope. And then there are the resentful little dragon creatures behind the cash register....we have come to the conclusion that the reason that they make you pay first and then go look at the bagels is because you might just run away after the impassive unfriendly gorgons have had their fill of you and then they get to keep your coppers. So, brave it if you must...you might emerge with a bag of bagels that they threw at you over the counter and you might well enjoy them once you've put some distance between your self and the place. Wow. Not an asset to the darling village of Stowe. read more

Great people - we've been going to The Bagel for years and they've never been anything but friendly and welcoming. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious, and the chicken salad is always a reliable lunch (especially on a toasted, everything bagel). And they now have a dedicated gluten-free toaster for their delicious gluten-free bagels...a huge treat for celiacs or people with gluten intolerance. My daughter requests The Bagel every time we are in town. read more

Yum!! Great bagels. Had breakfast there this am. Sat outside. Coffee selections were great too!! Will go back again

Was ok... Make sure you ask for condiments if u order an egg sandwich, they wont give you ketchup unless u ask. The bagels are "ok" but I didnt feel like my everything bagel had " everything" - seemed like it was mostly sesame. read more

As we prepared to leave the Stowe, VT area to return home from our vacation, we decided to visit The Bagel for a quick breakfast. Great decision! Quick and friendly service, reasonable pricing, and without a doubt the most amazing bagel I have ever had. I ordered a spinach and cheese bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese, toasted. My wife had a garlic bagel with plain cream cheese, and she, too, said it was amazing. We enjoyed them so much, we got a half dozen to bring home with us. If you're looking for a quick and delicious breakfast, I highly recommend The Bagel. read more

I know my bagels bring from NY and this is a good bagel! And for Stowe the prices are reasonable. I do find the counter staff sometimes terrific and sometimes terrible. The ladies making the food never are friendly to us. It's worth a visit! read more

Great bagels at a great price. I had cinnamon raisin with cream cheese. Awesome coffee....I had Italian roast. Highly recommended.

Solid bagels. They were doughy and crispy. Coffee was solid too. Good place to go for an early morning breakfast before or after you head out for a day on the mountains. read more

We split a chicken salad sandwich and large garden salad for lunch. Great taste at a great price for lunch in Stowe. Great gallery next door as well. read more

I read some bad reviews of this place but decided to try it anyways. It was the exact opposite of what I had read. The cashier was very pleasant and the bagels where fresh, everything was how it should be. Don't listen to the few bad reviews. This is a great quick spot before you hit the slopes. read more

Good bagel had breakfast sandwich was a little blah. My daughter had a muffin ands really enjoyed it. Would come back and try one of the cream cheeses they have. read more

If you like friendly people and good customer service, go elsewhere. Cashier was horribly rude. Flies crawling all over pastries and no one working there seemed to care. Great location. That's about it. read more
