If you like your bagel, big and chewy with a cornmeal crunch on the bottom, this may be your bagel…read more Like pizza, bagels are personal: Chewy, dense, crunchy, loaded with seeds or toppings, boiled, or baked, Schmear or no Schmear. These are bigger than average or traditional bagels. If you go anytime after 11:30 the choices become less than the broad options. I had the asiago toasted twice for some crunch, not knowing that there was the cornmeal bottom which made it even crunchier, and scallion cream cheese. I didn't find the cream cheese to be very onion. It was actually very light tasting not my favorite. Overall these are solid bagels.

Cohen's Bagels are my favorite bagels on the shoreline. I first encountered and learned about them…read moreat a 5k road race years ago that it was one of the race's highlights every year for me. Fast forward to today, I love finding Cohen's Bagels at local coffee shops. I finally was able to visit their store and I was very impressed by the selection available since it was after the morning rush. I got a Bagel Melt on my favorite Cheddar Cheese Bagel. This was so cheesy! It had chive cream cheese, cheddar cheese, tomato, and raw onion. The sandwich was very messy. I also got an Iced Chai Tea Latte that was pretty good. I like their bagels because of the variety of flavors, there are chewy, perfectly sized,!and easy to eat. The staff were very friendly and my order came out quick. There was even a large dining room area (this is where you picked up your order). It was very spacious, many tables, clean, and open. I will be back again at Cohen's Bagel because they are my favorite where it's stopping for a quick lunch or grabbing an assortment of bagels and breads for at home.

Just the worst bagel I've ever had. I ordered a toasted everything with vegetable cream cheese. I…read moregot a microwave warmed sift bagel with a few seeds on it and a heap of the most ridiculous excuse for vegetable cream cheese I've ever seen. A few specs of orange and red and that's it! The cream cheese was a slimy kind of cheese I hope to never taste again. And I paid $4.82 for this privelege! Yuk!

Ordered my usual sandwich today, and I feel like it keeps getting bigger? In this economy? For $12…read moreI literally got the most monstrous breakfast sandwich. I have no clue how they can afford to add this much bacon to each sandwich. I'm a person for whom a city is made or broken by their breakfast sandwich game, and if Olmo left New Haven I would probably have to move. Keep going here so they can keep putting insane amounts of bacon on each sandwich. The cinnamon raisin cream cheese is also wild.

Awesome. Delicious and the staff is super helpful/friendly. No matter how busy it is it always…read moreseems to take roughly the same amount of time. Tip: Order online from your phone a few minutes before you walk in. Then mention your order to the first person you see - they'll use their handheld to immediately start your order. Otherwise it will get done and put on a shelf to grab. If you order in person, they'll come outside and call your name and hand you your order. Also, I've always found that if I want a table, one always opens up when I'm ready to sit. If you want one, you will get one - just the endless circle of life, dude There are also a few tables around the corner on Whitney. Great place.

Sooo I stop in for a rye bagel because almost nobody carries them and AM makes delicious ones. So…read morewhile in line I think, well the weekends coming maybe I'll get a few for the family... the clerk is polite, friendly and Helpful. So I need 9 bagels and then she's like r u sure you don't need 12.. and I really don't, 9 is plenty. But do I go for the dozen?? Sure I do LOL. I get 12, but ohhhhh no If you order 12 they give ya a bakers dozen so now I'm at 13, plus my original rye bagel.. I get my order and I leave, and I think : man I got upsold on bagels! lol I head home, kids get out of school and all happy w fresh bagels. Then the snow comes, Friday night snow, Saturday snow, Saturday nigh snow, Sunday snow and Sunday nights it's snowing again, I go to the bagel and there's 1.5 bagels left and I think to myself, I didn't get upsold... that lady was a bagel angel!! These folks have been snacking on delicious bagels the entire long weekend.. I gotta go back and thank her! lol Oh and FYI, I never sit and eat there but I notice they have a great view I'd the river while you knosh..

I arrived just before 7am on the morning of Christmas Eve and there was a line already formed that…read morecould have easily been 50-70 feet long. I waited for half hour for the line to move, before I made it inside. They still had plenty of Xmas themed bagels. I got a dozen. The staff were super nice, attentive, and worked really fast to get people in and out as soon as possible. The place itself is nice big bright and inviting. I got a half dozen of their green and red plain bagels, a Jalapeno cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese and bacon (they put lots on yum and it was crispy), and another plain holiday bagel with their Christmas bark cream cheese. These were some of the best bagels I've ever had thus far in my life. The dozen remained warm for an hour after I picked them up. They were so soft all day, from morning, well into the evening. I can't wait to go back and I'm super happy I waited in that line. My family was extremely happy to try them as well. Nice Xmas Eve morning delight.

This was our first visit to Bagel Bros. I've been seeing this spot on Instagram and loved that it…read morewasnt too far. The location is simple and it is street parking for those visiting for the first time. But their bagels were DELICIOUS; It had a nice crust but the inside was also soft and not too chewy.

Saturday morning and I've got bagels that are definitely not baked this morning. Cream cheese smells and taste like pure sour cream. I understand that not every bagel place must be 5 out of 5 but if im getting something like this and being charge almost $2/bagel and over $2.4 for a bagel of the day you know that something isn't right. Also if you see that muffins are sell in the plastic bags you know freshness is not the key here which should be #1 of every bakery and deli place. Never again!!!

DeRocco's in Naugatuck IS pound for pound, my favorite restaurant in the area. I don't say that…read morelightly -- I say it with the confidence of a man who has lived most of his life in NJ and eaten his way through half of Connecticut. Yesterday the Taylor ham was back (cue the heavenly choir), so I did what any self‑respecting Jersey transplant would do: I ordered a classic Taylor ham, egg, and cheese -- salt, pepper, ketchup, of course. And because I've committed to trying something new each visit, I doubled down with an everything bagel stacked with onion, tomato, and honey habanero cream cheese. Unreal. Like, "I need a moment alone with this bagel" unreal. I love this place. The staff. The vibe. The food. The whole thing just hits. It's the kind of spot I openly warn friends and family about -- not because it's dangerous, but because I would go every single day if I didn't physically restrain myself. DeRocco's is my personal breakfast kryptonite. Important note for fellow Taylor ham enthusiasts: I love how thin they slice it here. Makes it super tender and perfect. I'm even considering going double meat next time -- it feels like the portion's been shrinking a bit but honestly, that might just be me wanting more of a good thing. Bottom line: If you're anywhere near Naugatuck and you're not eating here, you're doing breakfast wrong.

The staff was so friendly and helpful, and they had a good variety of bagels. I got a BEC on a Spinach Bagel and it was delicious and filling! They do not play with the bacon, there's a ton.

I got a French Toast bagel with their house made strawberry cream cheese and it was incredible. I was really impressed.

I pre-ordered bagels and paid for them online 2 days in advance for Christmas Eve morning. I arrived at 8:30am to a giant line. Only 2 people working behind the counter. I had to interrupt the woman to ask for my pre-paid order. There were about 10 bags, but a stack of papers. My order was not filled. She returned to inform me that they were "out of bagels". What?!? I asked for a refund which was done by the man at the register. I'd paid $20 plus $3 tip. She returned to tell me they've refunded my $20 to my card. I said... "so I'm just going to eat the $3 tip then?" She reluctantly looked over at the man & said... "I could ask". I wished her a merry Christmas & left, not wanting to hold up the rest of the customers any longer. Luckily Cohen's bailed me out & we're able to fill my order. It's too bad. They have a great product, but no clue how to run a business in a modern/mobile world.
