Found myself in Natick Center at an art show, looking for a nice coffee shop--the marbled rye bagel with homemade veggie cream cheese was delightful! Nice interior with friendly staff. read more

See all

The staff is always kind and it is an okay bagel! They are thin and lack some texture and chew, but I enjoyed the salt bagel. The others do not have enough toppings in my opinion. The sweets are impressive, especially the crumb cake. The space is large and beautiful. I'd love to see more creativity with bagel flavors and sandwich specials read more

Bagels are not great. A little chewy with the taste of a supermarket bagel. Coffee was fine. Service was fine. Tables were a little dirty but passable. I could definitely do without the decor but to each their own. read more

Stopped in this morning for a bagel and coffee; was surprised to find the place was nearly empty. I was disappointed the tables weren't clean, they were coffee-stained and sprinkled with crumbs/remnants from previous patrons; the floor was dirty. It was kind of moribund; there was no music playing in the background and there was no TV to watch. I'd like to see this place succeed, but you've got to make it a place where people want to go. The bagel and coffee were good, but I can make them at home and have a better experience. read more

Love the lox sandwich. If you don't like a lot of cream cheese, make sure to all for it light.

Very good coffee and bagel variety. Very reasonably priced. I had a breakfast sandwich and coffee for under $10 and it was delicious. The bagels are very good. read more

Great bagels, friendly staff! Lots of bagel flavors and goodies to put on them. Try the Freddie from Chelsea.

The inside is cute and spacious. The service was friendly and timely. My big gripe with this place is that my egg and cheese sandwich on a plain bagel was the worst I've ever had. The bagel was over toasted (dark brown on the inside), and there was the tiniest little egg and barely any cheese - it was so hard to see the cheese and I didn't taste it at all. Neither the egg nor the cheese extended to the outer edge of the bagel, so there was a lot of just plain bread. In general it was like eating a dry, bare overtoasted bagel. So, very unpleasant. I removed one half of the bagel with hopes of getting any egg/cheese flavor and also added ketchup, but it wasnt successful and overall the food was horrible. Definitely only get a bagel and cream cheese if you dare to come here at all. I would personally never come back. read more

The Bagel Table - Egg and cheese on a plain bagel. Basically no cheese and barely any egg. Dry and tasteless - horrible! - Cafes Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

Worst cappuccino I've had in a long time. I always ask for 3 shots of vanilla syrup. Which should be plenty to sweeten the coffee. But I couldn't test any vanilla and nothing sweet. It just tasted like a cup of bitter coffee flavored milk. Limited cream cheese options and limited bagel flavors. Odd for a place called Bagel Table. read more

Nice employees but the bagels are very lackluster and the iced drinks are served with paper straws. You can get a better bagel at a grocery store. read more

Apparently the employees have never heard the expression that the customer is always right. They talk down to them as if they are doing them a favor by serving them stale bagels. This is my second and last time at this restaurant. There are too many other options in MetroWest read more

Bagels match the service and experience - awful. Do yourself the favor and drive to NY Bagel Factory in Framingham.

Cute spot!!! Quick ran in to the shop before the elite runners came through to fuel up with some coffees and a bagel. I ordered a drip coffee and a sausage egg and cheese bagel sammie. The coffee was very good, did exactly what I needed it to. Kept me warm, and woke me up. The sandwich was also great. It was nothing crazy, but exactly what I expected and wanted. I chose the jalapeno cheddar bagel and thought it paired very well with the egg/sausage/cheese. The staff here were AWESOME! Super friendly, everyone had an excited buzz about them. The marathon here is truly a big deal and I love the energy it creates. I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to grab a quick bite or a solid cup of joe :) read more

Bagels are good, decor is cute & clean, coffee is 'ok'....the older woman who seems to run it is very unpleasant. (A smile and warm greeting would improve this establishment significantly). They also need more tables. read more

Has the best breakfast sandwich in town. Coffee is hot and taste delicious! Wide variety of different bagels, muffins, drinks, pastries etc Give this place a shot over anywhere else in the vicinity of downtown. You will not be disappointed! Also the staff are super friendly and service is quick read more

The Bagel Table - Medium dark roast coffee with whole milk Turkey sausage egg @ cheese on an everything bagel - Cafes Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

I was excited to try this spot in downtown Natick, but unfortunately the service and staff was incredibly disappointing. I grew up in Natick and everyone has always been friendly and kind, but clearly not here. If you are looking for a spot to have staff be rude to you and get a mediocre bagel, then this is for you. Wouldn't be surprised if this place is closed in the next few months. read more

Located in the heart of Natick Center, the bagel table is easily one of the busiest cafes. I stopped by on a Saturday morning around brunch time (so peak time). FOOD: we got an egg and cheese on a marble rye, a BEC on a sesame, and varying croissants. Frankly, the bagels were average. There wasn't anything special about them. They did taste fresh, but they weren't up to par with other bagels I've had in other shoppes in the past - if I'm comparing to my gold standard in New England, they miss the mark by a lot. The bagels do have a good chew to them, but lack any sort of density and "crust" unless you get it toasted. Sandwich wise, the egg is so small that it leaves a lot of room to be desired. If you come for some croissants though, different ball game. These were actually quite good and were probably made by a pastry chef who knows what their doing, as they had perfectly laminated layers and flakiness to them that you'd think they belonged more in a French pastry shop. PRICE: if I remember correctly, it was approximately $4-6 each for our sandwiches $3-5 for croissants. This is probably average for what you'll get in the area, so no complaints there. I'd argue your money is worth more going to a pastry than the bagel sandwich though as you'll get a better quality item (imo). SERVICE: those tending the counter and serving food were lovely. It was incredibly busy and everyone who was working was clearly a little stressed, but they handled everything quite professionally. Our food did come within five minutes of ordering, so no complaints here. OVERALL: personally, it's not somewhere I'll be returning. As someone who's a bit of a snob when it comes to high quality food, this fell flat for me. If I were to come back, it'd mostly likely be for the pastries, but probably not for the bagels. Again, there was nothing wrong with them - I've just had better and if I want to pay for bagels/sandwiches, I'd like them to be something that I can't make at home or purchase at my local store. This is a decent Massachusetts chain, just not worth it for me to return. read more

We got there at 1:15pm for a quick lunch. We've been to the store in Wayland and always had a friendly and warm experience. Well, now comes the rub. The older lady at the counter was like meeting your DMV or Parking Violation agent. No smile, no greeting, its like "WHAT DO YOU WANT."+- Food is good and prices are really reasonable. Only reason I gave it 3 stars is the food. read more

Very pleasant place to have a laid-back lunch. They don't have a commercial kitchen so food is prepared elsewhere; they make sandwiches and have pastry and of course bagels. The sandwiches are very good and ingredients are fresh. Bagels are the best around; very substantial, fresh and reasonably priced. Pleasant atmosphere, space is 140 years old but very well kept and clean so feels genuine and "neighborhood-esque". Staff quite congenial. Has a local and not franchise kind of vibe. Large windows have view of the common. No loud background music or noise. Very good prices. read more

What a fabulous find - this breakfast/coffee shop is a little treasure. We were in Natick for the Boston Marathon and were amazed to see so many businesses not open for the crowds. Luckily we spotted someone enjoying a takeout treat from this place, and were directed to The Bagel Table. Their smoked salmon "Freddie's of Chelsea" was delicious, and the coffee high quality and fresh. The staff was awesome and we were so glad to have found this spot. read more

Went in at 1030 on a Tuesday. Didn't appear to be any lights on when I stepped in and no one at the register. I was about to walk out because I thought surely the place must be closed when a woman came from the back and asked what I wanted. I asked for a French toast bagel and side of cream cheese. She disappeared for a minute came back to the register to get her phone and went in the back again, came out as another woman handed her my bagel in a bag. The bagel she gave me was a raisin bagel (I realized after getting to my destination unfortunately). Bagel tasted worse than the ones they sell at a grocery store. Small and stale. read more

I went here on a Friday with my wife around 10 o'clock and ordered two bagels. The bagels are decent. Placed my order through the older woman at the register. 10 minutes later, our bagels are ready and I go up to pick up both bagels and the Bagel Table Lady looks at me like I have two heads almost questioning me why I'm trying to pick up two bagels and I say "yea one for me and one for my wife." Crazy that she couldn't even remember that I just placed a simple order for two people a few minutes ago. Not sure if it's because I'm a minority, but she has a bit of a condescending tone. We sit down to eat directly next to a table of two Natick Meter Maids. The Bagel Table Lady from behind the counter comes out from behind the register and joins the two meter maids at their table and immediately they start bashing "Trumpers" and anyone on the right who "drinks the koolaid." Eventually the conversation ends up heading in the direction of Trump is racist and stating that illegal immigrants are eating pet cats, and the Bagel Table lady says "it's not the Haitians eating cats, it's the Asians!" You can't make this crap up. Insane. The Meter Maids just laughed. To top it off, The Holy Bagel Table lady starts complaining about how her responsibilities at the shop (such as refilling the cooler) and starts whining that she doesn't want to do it because "IM TIRED!" This place is an embarrassment. Also the fact that the meter maids entertained this conversation next to two Natick residents is ridiculous. read more

Beware. My wife went in today to buy English muffins and there was mold on one of the muffins in the first package she picked. When she asked how old the English muffins were she was told "the ones at the back are the freshest". How about only selling daily baked goods as advertised? If I want English muffins with an expiration date I will go to the grocery store. read more

Another place with horrible Boston service. Been to this place 2 times and ridiculous service both times. Toasted bagels are not toasted at all. Thought it was an honest mistake. Went again and double checked. Then ask to fix it and they say no. Really?! WTF service is that? They should be out of business. Don't accept this level of service. It's just bagels and they can't even get that right. read more

We ordered a couple of toasted bagels, asked to make sure they were toasted and they gave us warm and chewy bagels. They refused to change the order for actually toasted bagels and just advised to order triple toasted bagels next time, at least they gave us our money back. There is no next time for us. They also said it was the owners direction, as a business owner you want to retain your customers. read more

Don't go here for pastries ! Crumb cake dry, topping so hard couldn't cut with a plastic knife. Asked for it to be warmed - no rejuvenating this unfortunately! So disappointed. Won't be back for sure. read more

The bagels where great. Very crowded and busy. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Plenty of room to sit and eat if you want.

Awful service and to top it they completely got my order wrong. Unfortunately I noticed when I got home. Skip this store!

Bagels are store bought, they're displayed in the case in their plastic bags. The woman taking orders is pretty abrasive, not the best way to start your morning being barked at about whether you want your bagel toasted or not. Prices aren't bad, sandwiches are meh, honestly comparable to Einsteins or even Starbucks. Two stars because the interior is nice and clean. read more

It's time to make the bagels but they aren't open yet so clearly they they don't make the bagels. So where do the bagels come from?

The bagels aren't bad but they are not great. Overall they're just alright. What is good though is the spread options. I highly recommend the chive cream cheese option for the bagels! read more

Saw this on a friends page and decided to make the 35 minute truck for some good bagels. And they did NOT disappoint. Both my friend and I got the sausage egg and cheese on a plain bagel with some hot sauce the drink selection was low, however there is a coffee shop right next door to help you with your beverage so no need to worry. Definitely check it out! read more

The Bagel Table - a bagel sandwich on a plate - Cafes Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

I am not from Natick, so these may very well be the best bagels in town as many other reviewers have said. However, in my opinion, they are NOT good bagels. We got an asiago cheese bagel and an everything bagel turkey sandwich. Both were profoundly underwhelming. The bagels had a total lack of flavor. And the texture was all wrong - no chew to the crust and the inside is extremely dense. They have a flavor reminiciscent of white bread. A total lack of the rich, malty flavor one wants in a bagel. I've had better bagels from the freezer at the grocery store Also, it was stated the sandwich would have tomato and lettuce. There was no tomato. It also included "potato salad" which tasted like it had no spices at all in it - literally just mayonnaise and potatoes. I will not be going back to the bagel table. read more

What a wonderful and cozy cafe. Well lit and tables were not crammed on top of one another. Located right in the heart of Natick Center. I had the Turkey, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, and was very interested in everything on the menu. Plenty of available (metered) parking spaces. read more

The bagels were good but not at the level of their store in chestnut hill, which was my go to bagel place for years. The person covering the counter was kind of cold and not at all welcoming or courteous. This was surprising considering how positive other reviews were about the friendly staff at Natick Bagel Table. Maybe just an off day. I asked (in a nice way) for sugar that was not available and needed before leaving with my order but was instructed that "you'll have to wait". I wasn't in a rush so couldn't figure out where the gruff attitude came from. read more

This place is great! The bagels are delicious and the coffee is fresh. I love the decor and it's very clean. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat that's good. I recommend the bagel table read more

How does this place have only one review before mine? BEST BAGELS and treats (and donuts) and great sandwiches for miles. I can't decide which bagel is my fave but the marbled rye is one of many great options. Buy a baker's dozen, throw them in the freezer, have great bagels... boom. read more

My very abbreviated review of The Bagel Table. 2.5 stars. It was my first visit to the restaurant. I was waiting to pick up a prescription at the nearby Boston Post Road CVS which was not open because it wasn't 9 o'clock on a weekday. Since I had arrived at 8 o'clock which is one google told me the store opened (that was correct) I had some time to kill so I decided to pick up a bagel sandwich. I'm first entering the store I was pleased by the sunny and clean interior. I also liked the layout of the counter which was modern and efficient and the interior color scheme which was mostly grays and white. There was a lot of space in the restaurant but much of it was empty space with only a few tables set aside for dine in patrons. I watched as the counter hostess interacted with the two persons in front of me. She was a pleasant woman with a heavy Russian Jewish accent who smiled and interacted efficiently with the customers. Her efficient and pleasant interaction continued when it was time to take my order. I asked for a bagel sandwich with egg bacon and cheese on a plain bagel. Although it was before nine on a weekday morning they were already out of plain bagels. I don't know this to be fact but it seem to me that they did not have a lot of plain bagels and it was not that they had sold out tons of them. As I was leaving the store I saw a woman delivering a box of what looked like plain bagels wrapped in the kind of sleeve he would buy them in the grocery store. I'm not saying they were store bagels but perhaps they were bagels from another location of the chain. At any rate I found that odd. I chose a everything bagel and I sat down to wait for my order which was delivered to me promptly by the guy in the kitchen. as I said the entire interaction in the store was pleasant and efficient. Upon biting into the everything bagel sandwich the first thing I noticed was that it was dry. When I looked at the bagel I found out that it was a wheat everything bagel not a white everything bagel. This was disappointing because I don't recall ordering a wheat everything bagel. The bagel was not only dry but dense. The flavor was OK but comparing it to for example the everything bagels from Costco, the flavor was just not as good. As for the egg all I can say about it is that it was unremarkable. I barely noticed the egg on the sandwich. Same goes for the cheese I barely noticed it. The one flavor that came through very strongly was the bacon. It seem like a strongly flavored bacon with perhaps it was a maple taste. It definitely seem to me like a bacon with an artificial flavor added. Sometimes you encounter bacon like that which tastes like it was dumped in maple syrup. That is not a sign of a good bacon. In this case, fortunately there was not a lot of bacon on the sandwich, so I was spared the somewhat overwhelming flavor of it. I finished the sandwich but quite honestly it was one of the more unremarkable bagel sandwiches I've had. It was definitely not the kind of bagel sandwich which makes you wanna rush back and have another. I also ordered a cup of House coffee. They have two kinds, House and dark roast. The house roast turned out to be pretty much OK. It was somewhat like a diner coffee, something like what McDonald's serves although I think McDonald's is better. It was average and unremarkable and sometimes that's totally fine in this world of shitty Starbucks bird feeder crap. I'm going to give the coffee a acceptable rating. I'm going to finish this review with a summary. Decor excellent. Store interaction excellent. Food below average in availability and taste. Coffee acceptable. read more

Bring the donuts back. We don't care if the price went up. There is no place else to get good donuts in town. Bring the donuts back. That's my review read more

Staff was very nice - just don't think the bagels were great: too ' bready' and didn't have the tougher/eggy flavor of a really great bagel.
