This place is great. It's pricey...so be prepared for that. My brother got the avocado toast, ( I think thats what it was) and loved it. I didn't get any food. I ordered a smoothie. Banana/strawberry and holy shit it was incredible!!! I. LOVED. IT!!! Damn it was good. I think it was like $12 tho? Am I crazy to think...meh, it's ok, (the price) I was on a holiday and you are supposed to enjoy whatever? haha!! I would normally never spend that much on a freaking smoothie! HOWEVER! Once we got into Manchester, VT....we saw another The Works Bakery...I SHO DID get another one lol. I was surprised to see that this place is a chain. When we were in Concord...it kind of felt like this was a place exclusive to Concord. Nah, it's not. Thats ok tho. I got a smoothie at a coffee house in just outside Bar Harbor and it was absolute garbage. So it was nice to have one where they actually have you what you ordered. Most places in Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire all allow dogs. I travel with my little Yorkie wherever I go. Alfred loves to travel haha! He is my child...seeing as I do not have any human kids. My dog is my life. So it's nice when you go into places and they welcome dogs. This place....does not tho. Thats boooo! HOWEVER! I TOTALLY understand! I TRULY do! I travel with my dog everywhere, but yes, I do realize this place is a restaurant and they all have their rules. I just love restaurants that allow dogs haha! I am not one of those psychos that will tear a place apart about not allowing dogs. I am one who actually respects policies like this. And yes, I bring my dog with me bc it's just me...and my dog. He is a 6lb Yorkie who I will never leave alone nor would I ever kennel him. I say all this bc so many people out there judge others who bring their dogs everywhere. He is a family member. He comes with me. Just go to this place wherever you run into one. It really is a great place. They were all SO nice in there even when they asked my take Alfie back outside. OH for the record too...I carry my little man everywhere with me. He's not like...running around everywhere...marking his territory lol Atmosphere in this location is very nice. Kinda dark and Lodgy feeling. Its nice. Located too in what I am assuming is a historic building. Noce view of the downtown area too if you take you lunch or whatever outside to their outdoor seating...which I am guessing is probably brought in now...seeing as it is almost December. Ok thats it. I know I rambled a lot here, but I feel it all fits with my review. I ramble a lot to begin with. If you read this...thank you! If you didn't...I will sleep in 5 mins and sleep like a baby :) Thank you The Works for a wonderful first experience. I live in Idaho. Wish we had you here. Thanks for reading YelperWorkers! Go have a smoothie! avocado toast! a bagel! you will love it! Cheers! read more

We were headed up north for a hike and needed a good spot for breakfast/lunch. We had looked this up after walking the Farmer's Market and decided to give it a try. First off, there truly is something for everyone. It was hard to choose what I wanted because everything looked so good. I ended up with an egg sandwich, but everyone in the group got something different. The portions were HUGE and everything was SO FRESH. The place was packed and it was clear why since for the price and what you got, it is probably the best sandwich place around. If we lived in the area, it would probably be a regular lunch spot for us. Very good. read more

Great cafe, with excellent sandwiches, pastries and good coffee. In a beautifully restored building on Main Street. Staff was nice and friendly, food tasted great. read more

We happened to walk by and saw that it was packed. I looked up the reviews before entering, they were great. The interior was trendy, rustic, and industrial. There were seats outside and inside. There was a line but it moved quickly. I didn't realize it's a chain of about 11 locations in NH, MA, ME, NY, and VT. This cafe started in Manchester, VT in 1988. They're environmentally conscious and provide fresh food/drinks using local suppliers. Not only do they offer good food/drinks, they are a good company that is for the environment; I am for that. I had an iced latte and the Sunrise burrito. The burrito had eggs, quinoa, avocado, bacon, sweet potato, VT cheddar, and pico de Gallo. This was so good! One of the best burritos I've had in a long time. The service was friendly and fast. I wish we had this place near us! I would be there weekly lol. read more

Say you're on your way back to Northern Maine from a holiday visit and you need somewhere to grab lunch and a mocha, what do you do!? Obviously you stop at the Works because not only was the mocha rich and delicious, they serve like 8 kinds of mac and cheese!? The lox bagel even had capers and everything. 10/10 for cozy vibes taking advantage of the classic New England brick interior. And all dishes were compostable, I cannot come up with a single suggestion for improvement. read more

I was really disappointed with my drinks today. My cappuccino tasted more like plain milk--perhaps the barista forgot to add the espresso shot. But then the hot chocolate was barely more than warm milk, lacking that rich, chocolatey flavor I expected. It overall left me feeling let down. Maybe it wasn't't a barista who made my drinks! read more

This place has my favorite sandwich. I get the farmers veggie and add chicken. It's perfect. We also buy their sourdough loaves to bring home for toast and sandwiches. It's hard to sit down in there it's crowded a lot but the outdoor seating is nice. read more

Busy place, but I can see why! Very organized and efficient crew back there handling the constant lines. Not a lot of seating but many come in for their "to-gos". We both ordered breakfast sandwiches and they were DELICIOUS. I have to say, the Works' sourdough bread recipe is absolutely PERFECT. This is the only place I would order anything on sourdough. And the fact that it's freshly baked is a huge bonus. Besides not having enough seating to accommodate the volume of customers, the cafe has a nice vibe and smells so good- fresh coffee and bread baking. Great friendly staffing and good food. Highly recommend! read more

I just happened upon The Works after hiking the flume & driving down the kanga with no particular destination. Super glad we stopped here as everything was delicious & portions were generous. Cold brew was strong & perfect for the rest of my 4hr drive. BLT on sourdough was huge, stuffed with bacon, mixed greens & tomato with just the right amount of mayo. Tropical smoothies were delicious, perfectly blended & bursting with flavor. I just wish I'd ordered bagels for home. Fast, friendly service. Super cool indoor & outdoor seating. Easy parking. Would get lost & end up in Concord again just to stop here! read more

As soon as you order your food and go take a seat and open your computer to do a little work they try to throw you out every time. It said because the food and drinks are good, but the customer service absolutely is horrendous. read more

The Sunrise Breakfast Burrito was really good! Service was fast, less than 5 minutes. Love that they have a board that shows where they get their ingredients. Tables and chairs were really nice, calm environment. Overall good place to eat! read more

Hopping little place on Main St. with a great selection of breakfast and lunch items. Had a ham and egg breakfast sandwich on a bagel which was very tasty. If you bring in a reusable mug, you get a nice discount on coffee. Enjoyed a tasty French Vanilla roast with the meal. Pleasnat charm with fast service. Indoor and outdoor dining areas to suit your preferences. read more

No matter how busy they are the service is always quick and staff are friendly. Their GF bread is great- multigrain! Not the usual store bought stuff other places use. And the cream cheese- get a tub of one of their specialty homemade cream cheeses to go! They are delicious. read more

While it was busy, the team inside was so good at communicating with each other that I got my order in no time. The food and drink that I got were both delicious. Most importantly, the kind lady who took my order and I were talking about a poor experience else where this morning, and her first instinct was to do her best to make my morning better (that pumpkin latte was delicious!). This was my first time here, definitely won't be my last. read more

Cannot find a better bagel, muffin or scone in NH. Plus the coffee is hot and delicious.

I can't say enough how much I appreciated the quick turnaround on a catering order. When we noticed there were a few things missing the sent someone up with the missing items within 10 minutes we couldn't have asked better service or tasting Yummies! read more

town! The staff is amazing. The food is outstanding a feeling of the Concord community.

We came in for a quick bite and I chose the cheddar jalapeño bagel with veggie cream cheese spread. I must say, The Works definitely has one of the better bagels I've had outside New York City, excellent quality with a good chew. They have a bit of everything to satisfy breakfast, lunch or early supper cravings (they're open 6am-6pm) from smoothies, salads, paninis and *serious* Mac n cheese! They have 8 locations in New England offering many veggie-forward healthy choices as well as their decadent Mac n cheese. Service was fantastic: With her permission I snapped the Daisy Ridley look-alike who was so personable when she took our order, a true company ambassador. Recommend. read more

The service is ultra fast like impressively consistent and quick, and the dining room is very warm and welcoming. They usually use real, local ingredients but there are some processed ingredients too which is understandable. Favorite breakfast spot in the area read more

Good selection of coffees, bagels, spreads, and various cafe and smoothie bar foods. I would not quite consider this place my go-to but for the fact that it opens very, very early, should you need to get something done and be heading to or be located in Concord, NH; and that the coffee is decent and seems to offer free refills. The cream cheeses are addictive but nothing to write home about. If not part of a catering event and rather left to my own devices, I would more likely divest my calorie intake elsewhere. I will say that they are *very* consistent. In terms of what to expect, you're almost never in for a surprise or significant margin of difference (if any, really). read more

While a little pricey, food quality is top notch. I thoroughly enjoy the breakfast and bagels. My daughter is a huge fan of the Mac N cheese. I recommend the everything bagels and the bacon/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich. Parking can be a pain depending on time of day, but there is a parking garage a few blocks away on school street. Definitely swing by and check it out. read more

As a whole, i like this place. But you need to order carefully. I just got a salad w chicken that was so spicy it was hard to eat, and the salad was 90% lettuce. Not exactly a filling lunch. I did have an egg sandwich this am that was fabulous. I'm going to stay away from the salads and stick w the sandwiches. Just finished eating and I'm still hungry. read more

Delicious food as always, and quick to-go service exactly as ordered. I ordered breakfast this morning for my family and I don't mind going a little bit out of the way to eat at The Works because I know I am getting high quality foods from a locally focused company. read more

Check this place out! My iced latte was great, went back for it every morning. Tried the works bagel with chive cream cheese and it was good, more smear would have made it better, I like enough cream cheese to eat my bagels halves separately. The menu is so extensive, I need a week in Concord so I could try everything on their menu! A lot to choose from, a little bit of everything and anything you are in the mood for! They're open late which is super convenient for someone like me who wants a good cup of coffee at 6 pm! read more

Bagelworks, I'm just a little confused. not only did you nix the open view to your mammoth stand mixer, you seem to have entirely forsaken your bagel namesake. I guess I don't see the need to opt for such a generic stand-in title when you had such a storied and memorable brand. "The works" is certainly a step down in my opinion. I mean, nearly 50% of the title is occupied by a definite article. Are bagels really that divisive a baked good that you have to go to such lengths to distance yourself from them? I had the dagwood on a garlic? bagel, and the berry smoothie. So good. My spouse agreed; this was her favorite restaurant meal during our visit. If you're in the mood for something a little different, get a savory bagel with just plain schmear & sliced tomato. Less is more - well, sometimes at least. Their oj (with pulp, of course) is a nice complement. read more

Always yummy, always correct, always kind. We love the cowhide seating! Fun for the kids! The pictures are great too! Mor eoutdoor seating ​

My friends and I went to The Works for lunch on a cold and rainy day in November. It was hard to find parking as it's on Main Street, but there are a lot of metered spaces around if you can snag one. When we arrived, it was busy, almost all of the tables were taken. We didn't have to wait that long to order, and it took about 10 or 15 minutes for everyone's food to be ready. The menu is extensive and full of delicious comfort food that's hearty and healthy and can cater to any dietary need. I got a lentil soup, which was perfect on the cold day, and a farmers veggie sandwich. My partner got a bagel and lox, and my friends--who are locals--got a dagwood sandwich and a sunrise burrito. They said you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We were all so satisfied and full after lunch, I'll definitely go back. read more

We popped in here on a Sunday afternoon. Most other places were closed so it was a relief Thais was open. They have an extensive menu that can be a bit overwhelming when you walk in. But we opted to go for the bagels- their speciality, and must say we weren't disappointed! I got the works bagel- which is live an everything bagel and was nice, fresh and flavorful! With smoked salmon smear- which was basically cream cheese with smoked salmon prices. Quite nice! The coffee was also nice, though my friend thought the house roast was a little burnt making it bitter. read more

Food always fresh and delicious, staff so friendly and quick to get your order out quickly.

Delicious fresh sandwiches and bowls for a quick pick up for out of town guests ! Hit the spot !

Came here with a group of friends on a nice Wednesday morning. Let me say, packed with people. And when i tried the food i understood why they were so busy. The food was awesome! I got a BLT , the sourdough was so fresh. Definitely some of the best in the area. My friend got the chocolate croissant and ate it in 2 seconds because it was DELECTABLE. Everything on the menu was made fresh and the workers were kind/very fast. Definitely recommend coming for breakfast or lunch! read more

The works is my favorite place for an early morning bagel or for a yummy, filling lunch! The tuna is the most delicious in the whole area. my order is always quick & correct! read more

This place is great! Right in the middle of downtown Concord. We were visiting from CA and stopped in on a Saturday for coffee, which was very good, so the next day we stopped in before heading to Boston Airport. My wife got the egg bacon sandwich with a jalapeño cheese bagel. I did the same but with a cheese bagel. Both were great but hers was a little better. Can't wait to stop in the next time we visit read more

Great people working here. I got lost and the guy came out to find me on the sidewalk. True Story! Food and coffee were excellent. Coffee I had was advertised as Bold and it certainly was! read more

Excellent food quality -- top notch ingredients (although we don't eat meat or poultry so can't comment on those). I love the bagels and the sandwiches. Wife likes the "salmon bowl". Kids enjoy the bagels and the fresh juice. The soups are delicious. Coffee is good. Hands down our favorite place in Concord as it anchors the downtown experience for our family, and I wouldn't be surprised if we've been here 500 times at this point. We've never had a bad experience, and on the rare occasion that an order error has occurred it has been dealt with quickly and amicably. Service is quick. We usually order in person, but when we order online the food has always been ready when we get there. The restaurant is always clean and well staffed. Workers are courteous and seem happy to be there. We were recently in NYC's upper west side and the bagels here would stack up with your basic NY bagel (we travelled a good way across Manhattan to get a favorite bagel, and while Works is not as good as those, I felt that the bagel quality was equal to what is served at Zabar's lunch counter). All in all a 5 star review. read more
