The best!!!! By far. Will be going there more often. Excellent!!!! BLT was perfect! Service was great. Ordered on line. Easy read more

I always make a point to stop in here when I visit my niece at school. The sandwiches are so good and made with fresh ingredients. We typically go for the ham apple cheddar sandwich which comes on multigrain bread. Great flavors! Plenty of seating inside and outside and the food comes out rather quickly! read more

GM Matt and his team are always fantastic and accommodating. I work for the Uni and The Works is our go-to lunch spot since it's so easy to order and pick it up from them. If you're placing a larger order, you can shoot them an email and they'll even write people's names on each package so you don't have to play the guessing game when distributing food. The day-old rack also offers a great deal on bagels and treats. Don't forget to sign up for the Rewards program so you can rack up points and snag some freebies. read more

Great place for lunch/brunch! I went a few weeks ago and got delicious mac&cheese and the hummus wrap. I was disappointed that the wrap wasn't as described online - no sprouts, no cucumber. Carrots instead? Went again today and got a delicious bagel sandwich! Sat for some time, it's a nice spot for a long lunch! read more

I don't usually have any issues here but recently any time me or my family orders a BLT it comes with turkey and avocado on it. We explicitly order just the BLT. It has happened three times now. Very disappointing. read more

Always stopped at the works for a quick lunch and a healthy drink! Their #BBQChickenMelts is so fresh and delicious! Simple ingredients but healthy and flavorful! It's my first time trying their #Berry-Licious smoothie too! Love it! read more

Love their bagels and sourdough bread! Everything is easy and quick to order for pick up.

Great food, atmosphere, gluten free options, highly recommended, plenty of parking, outside seating

Ordered a dozen bagels. Came home with 8. Called and went back for the remaining 5. Came home with 4! Someone can't do math when counting a dozen. -- my fault for not looking in the second bag... but after calling and them saying it was set aside with my name in it -- I assumed it would be right. -- Staci read more

I go here a lot. I work with the elderly in Durham, so between clients I go to the works for lunch or a Brain Freeze. I love a BLT on a toasted cheese bagel. Staff are always cheerful and friendly. I LOVE the sourdough bread, I buy 1/2 loaf for sandwiches at home. read more

Very clean and vibrant decor with plenty of space for seating. A coffee shop vibe mixed with a Panera meets farm menu. I enjoyed the Raspberry smoothie and I am looking forward to trying a quinoa bowl next time I am in! read more

Great staff, particularly the front of house manager who keeps a chaotic looking process work smoothly.

Great food! Breakfast Sammie's were delicious First time ordering on the site without an issue. Thanks! We'll be back!

Veggie Sandwich was so delicious. Fast and kind service at the Durham location. Highly recommend for vegetarian and gluten free options.

I've been here one time and it was a successful bagel run. Love that the everything bagel has the right amount of salt, thick cream cheese, and it's warm and crispy from the toast--it is checking all the boxes. Overall 8.7, I'm knocking this place only for taking a hot second to make two bagels and it could be a little hotter. Overall, fire bagel. read more

Great bagels and sandwiches. We mostly do take out, but we like the vibe of the Durham location. The app is easy to use.

10/10 every time. I LOVE The Works. Everything is delicious and fresh. I have never had anything bad there

Never toast bagels enough, not enough cream cheese and the prices are unreasonable for what you're getting. Close to campus so it's popular but nothing great read more

Got the super chicken panini. Hands down one of the best and most satisfying paninis out there. I was too hungry/excited and forgot to take a picture of the sandwich before eating it. Worth every penny though (around $9 with tax). Also got the kale Caesar salad and sunrise smoothie. Kale salad gets a 2.5/5. Thought the salad dressing was too garlicky and there was not enough to detesting to cover the whole salad. I felt like I was just eating bitter leaves for the most part. Just didn't have that satisfying Caesar salad taste which was disappointing. Sunrise smoothie gets a 3/5: it was an average smoothie. I liked how it wasn't too sweet and tasted healthy with no added sugars. Atmosphere of the restaurant is great. There's plenty of seating space and areas for people to do work. There's a parking lot too so it's convienient to get to. read more

They are our go to for meeting lunches. They have a great variety and make everything fresh.

Went here for the first time and it was busy. A good sign. Not an open table in the place and it's self seating. I saw a party leaving so I grabbed their table and sat down. My family joined me and I went to the counter to ask for something to clean my table. The staff was working hard but did acknowledge me. The young woman that "helped" me looked at me like I had three heads when I asked, yet she did say she would have someone come clean the table. No one showed up so my daughter grabbed napkins, went to the bathroom and wet them in the sink and returned to clean the table. So,the food was good, the service meh, but the place was busy and it certainly looked like the owner could afford to have someone cleaning tables. I think it's pretty disgusting to expect patrons to sit at a dirty table and eat. There are so many choices for food in the area that eating at a filthy table is a deterrent. I guess college kids don't care as much but the folks footing the bills should. I will probably return, but with my own Windex! read more

The BEST sandwiches, fresh and fast, even in my to go orders they have never made an error!

I ordered my usual today for pickup using the app. It was all ready when I got there and done perfectly. Everything I have at The Works has been great. Most of the time I use the app to order and then I pick up. Once in a while I get back to my office and the order is not quite the way I ordered it or the salad has the wrong dressing but the staff are always eager to resolve the issue when I reach out. read more

I love getting the works for breakfast! so convenient, fast, and delicious. it is my favorite spot on campus! all the workers are so friendly! read more

Great spot for meeting up with co-workers and food is excellent. Catering is also great for meetings.

ordered mac and cheese, harvest bowl with chicken and goat cheese, and a bbq chicken cheddar bacon sandwich to go. food was ready quick, but had very little breadcrumbs on the mac and cheese, no goat cheese and hardly any chicken, and no bbq. The girls were very polite and sincere about the mess ups, and food was overall delicious. read more

The tomato and bacon Mac and Cheese is amazing! Great food for a reasonable price. Friendly service.

Something has happened to this place & its not good. Used to be our favorite. I generally order the same thing, a super cheese with ham & extra sprouts & mac n cheese for the kids. The salted bagels are now nearly inedible- too much salt where it burns your mouth. And they have been hard. Something is up with the sauce - its like plain hot mayo. And if I order extra sprouts, i should get them, right? The mac n cheese is served WAY under temperature - like a breeding ground for food poisoning. And the bathrooms? Come on - someone hasn't cleaned them in what appears to be at least a year. This place needs to get its act together. read more

Super chicken is the best sandwich! Lots of different bagel flavors, my friend liked the cheese bagel. Good vibes with compostable NOT PAPER straws. Service was fine. read more

This food satisfies your heart, mind, and soul. The Works prides itself on fresh ingredients, and they're not saying that for show. Simple things like the lettuce on a sandwich here tastes like it was just grown in the back. I would gnaw on the raw head of lettuce that comes from here. I almost always avoid tomatoes, but at The Works, it's a delicious snack. Every item on the menu deserves its own review of praise. Works bagel, sunrise burrito, super guac melt, fresh mozzarella, turkey avocado bacon, and the dagwood. You really can't go wrong here. The variety of options is as impressive as the product. Yeah, I like a lot of food, but not all the food I eat is the direct offspring of Planet Earth. read more

Great food and the cashier was really nice to talk to. The food came out pretty quickly considering how busy they were! I definitely recommend getting the pesto mac and cheese read more

This college town bagel shop is busy and could use a few more staff members; however, they are nice and everything I eat here tasted awesome. Today I ate a toasted French toast bagel with maple cream cheese. It was perfect and delicious. I drank a single shot Americano, also perfect and delicious. My favorite place to sit is the bar stools table next to the window, which has a nice people watching element. read more

The works is already my favorite place to get a bagel when i'm home in concord, so the fact that there is one right by UNH is Awesome!!! The new blueberry bagels are amazing!! Also the staff is super sweet and get along with each other so well!! Very positive environment and VERY yummy food!! read more

Hands down the best poppyseed bagel sandwich I've had in ages!! They even remembered no cheese on my egg and sausage, which many other restaurants do not in my experience. They get super busy in a small space no idea how that many people fit back there. Can be a bit of a wait but it's worth it read more

Been here a few times. Would have rated this place higher but their cream cheese is horrible today. It does not taste like cream cheese at all. It almost tastes like some solid cream product and not cream cheese. It really does not taste like cream cheese. Also asked for my bagel to be toasted and they forgot to taste my bagel. So now I have an untoasted bagel with horrible not cream cheese. Ugh! read more

After a tour of UNH, we realized the dining halls on campus were closed. We were directed to this establishment from the employee at the school bookstore. We were starving. They offer a great selection of healthy sandwiches and soups and serve breakfast all day. We had two orders of the Green Monster and a "build your own." The Green Monster consisted of fresh carved roasted turkey, cheddar cheese, guacamole, lettuce and onion on multi grain bread. The other sandwich was turkey, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and onion on multi grain bread. All the sandwiches were tasty and a nice change of pace from the other chain sandwich locations. The bread was fresh and the amount of meat and cheese was perfect. The location is a short stroll from campus and just off of Main Street. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was friendly. We will be back if our daughter enrolls at UNH. read more

Disappointing. Saturday morning 9:30am and I was sold what was likely day old bagels. They were cold and tough. Warning check your bagels before you pay. read more

Great quality food here. Everything is freshly prepared that day and is usually a great value for their prices. Love almost everything on their menu!Their bagels are pretty good definitely the best in Durham and orders are pretty quick if the store isn't jammed. Love the atmosphere inside and picnic tables outside. Would definitely recommend for a quick breakfast or sit down lunch. read more
