Overall the food and service was good. Much better than a McDonalds or a Dunkin. It is a local joint and no frills meaning if you are just picking up, need a quick bite, and don't care about aesthetics this place is for you. One star off because it felt the place needed a remodel, and the inside looks like it hasn't been updated since 1990s/2000s. It would be better to be in a different location besides on a busy road/strip mall, there was no sign saying "Village Bagels." read more

Village Bagels - Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Roll - Sandwiches Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Bagels have gone downhill, i'm afraid to say. Olive cream cheese did not have 1 olive in it! Disappointing, as I would come here all the time! read more

Amazing bagels, very reasonably priced, real egg! This place is a hidden gem, came here for the first time and I'll definitely be back! Additionally, great service, and lots of seating inside. read more

Village Bagels - Sandwiches Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I went in yesterday to get breakfast to bring to work. The roll was moldy. If I worked nearby, I would have brought it back. Since I was 20 miles away I just threw it away. Will NEVER GO BACK read more

The long line is completely unacceptable, and they clearly couldn't get the experience right--especially for well-done bagels, which were only mildly heated. The service is disorganized; it's unclear where to order or pay. The only reason it's busy is because it's the only option nearby. I strongly advise against wasting your time here. Stay away. read more

The chicken caeser wraps are excellent and the bagels are also great. Highly recommend!!

I can't say enough good things about Village Bagels in Norwalk--what a fantastic spot! I stopped in recently and was blown away by the quality and care they put into their food. I started with an iced chai tea, which was perfectly spiced, not too sweet, and incredibly refreshing on a warm day. Then came the bagel with scallion cream cheese and lox--honestly, one of the best I've ever had. The bagel was fresh, perfectly toasted, and piled high with creamy, flavorful scallion cream cheese and generous slices of silky lox. I also ordered the Number 5 sandwich from their menu, and wow, it was a game-changer. It was absolutely stuffed with meat, fresh veggies, and all the fixings, making every bite hearty and delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in their craft. The atmosphere here is so cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to grab a quick bite, enjoy a leisurely lunch, or even just sip a coffee while catching up with a friend. And don't sleep on their muffins! The pistachio muffin was a dream for a nut lover like me, with such a rich, authentic flavor. I also tried the cornbread muffin, and it was pure comfort food--moist, slightly sweet, and just like homemade. Village Bagels is consistent, welcoming, and clearly a local favorite for a reason. Whether you're craving a healthy sandwich, a classic bagel, or a sweet treat, this place has it all. I'll be back soon and recommend it to everyone in Norwalk or any neighboring cities or towns! ---Ubdate---- I just visited Village Bagels again and was blown away by their iced coffee--it was absolutely phenomenal! The addition of nutmeg elevated the flavor to a whole new level, delivering a rich, aromatic experience that was both unique and delightful. You can tell the coffee was freshly brewed with high-quality ingredients; unlike many places nearby, it wasn't diluted or lackluster in the slightest. The atmosphere at Village Bagels is equally inviting, with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes every visit enjoyable. The staff truly stands out--they're attentive, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers. Plus, the cleanliness of the location is impeccable, reflecting their commitment to excellence. I can't recommend Village Bagels enough for a top-tier coffee and a fantastic overall experience! read more

An overpriced mess. Bought a Celsius drink and they charged me $4.50. What?! Everything is overpriced. Bagels are small and it's difficult for the workers to get orders correct. I'll be going elsewhere where prices are fair and food is better. Jeez. read more

Village Bagels are you guys throwing in 24k karat gold edible gold flakes in the food? I mean for God's sake what in the world are you guys trying to do with these insanely inflated ridiculous prices? I paid nearly $3.00 for a bagel with butter. Are you kidding me? For one bagel with tad of butter? I will definitely be looking for another local bagel shop nearby and will not be going back to Village Bagel nor will I recommend my friends. Lunch will probably cost around two arms and a leg? What a travesty to have a tiny bagel shop charging prices as if it were a fine dining restaurant. Take another good look at your prices and reconsidered making some serious changes. read more

Village Bagels has been a longtime family favorite! Great bagels, sandwiches and always served with friendly smiles.

Traveling to see family and bought a dozen to bring south. Did a great job packing them for travel.

Delicious bagel and cream cheese. Great selections for both. Extremely friendly, pleasant staff.

All around yum! We found this on our way back from a family visit, and it hit the spot. If you can't decide between a bagel or an egg and cheese, you're in the right spot at Village Bagels, who know adults need a good bagel but kids deserve a fun bagel too. The line to the door was a little intimidating (and it was out the door when I was leaving), but the selection was great. Though not every bagel place has jalapeño bagels, Village does, and the scallion cream cheese was nicely balanced. The lox on my sesame bagel wasn't stingy, and the little one's rainbow bagel (which every bagel place nowadays should have) was that colorful. The atmosphere isn't glamorous but if you're eating a bagel, down to earth is perfect. That, and there's a few tables available if you don't want onion smell in your car. I'm giving the bagels 4 1/2 stars. The line to/out the door wasn't too long, and the folks behind the deli were friendly despite the line, so five stars to them! Let's make it six stars since they're a local spot: the lady behind the counter correctly knew the coffee order of my fellow customer before he ordered/confirmed it. In all, good find! read more

I had a GF Everything Bagel with Whitefish and it was delicious I highly recommend this place for a really damn good breakfast read more

I had the everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. So good. I highly recommend. Must visit.

I love this place . Nice people and killer bagels . My only suggestion for a five star rating is to have an organized approach when people order . maybe have a separate line for customers getting just bagels as we all then have to wait while someone is making a sandwich . worth the wait but a better streamlined approach would be worth it read more

This place is great love their salads and sandwich's too Very friendly and they will make almost anything read more

Ordered a salad, cold cut wrap and smoothie. Specifically asked if the chicken in the salad was warm... It wasn't. Definitely not the best food. Probably won't be ordering again. The fruit smoothie was not made with fresh fruits either. read more

Village Bagels - Chicken salad, turkey wrap with bacon - Sandwiches Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

You can't call in to place you order at this establishment which is a bit of a pain since the lines can be long

This is the go to bagel restaurant in Norwalk. I have visited Village bagels since I was a kid and every trip back up to Connecticut I make it a point to go! Their bagels are so fresh and they vary a variety of spreads and toppings. They also have sandwiches and salads. Their lox is some of the best in town. If your looking for the perfect bagel, this is the place! read more

Village Bagels - Salt bagel with lox, onions, tomatoes and chive cream cheese. - Sandwiches Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I got the Reuben for pick-up here. Very solid place with a friendly staff! I would mostly likely come back here to try out the other dishes.

I love this store. I love the bagels. The staff are all extremely nice. However, the prices are very high. And the worst thing about the store is that they don't post their prices, so you can get sticker shock when they ring you up at the register. There should be a law in CT whereby you have to post your prices. I purchased a pound of tuna fish and a few bagels and was absolutely floored when I was told my total price. I then asked how much the tuna fish cost and they told me $17.99/lb. This is insane. The price of tuna salad at their sister store in Westport is only $13.99/lb. They charge more money for their tuna than Whole Foods and Garelick and Herb, which both are VERY pricey stores (but they do have delicious, quality food and I know in advance what I am paying.) I will continue to buy my bagels here, but I will NEVER ever buy tuna there again. And if the owner of the store is reading this, PLEASE POST YOUR PRICES. SHAME ON YOU. read more

In a word: YUCK. Two words? STEER CLEAR. My husband wanted a bagel, so I stopped in here for the first time on my way home from the gym. I saw a line out the door, so I figured that was a good sign! When it was my turn to enter the establishment, I was immediately struck by the complete lack of care that was put into the space. It felt dark and dirty with stuff thrown everywhere haphazardly. The salad case is the first thing you see - extremely unappetizing- with milk and other stuff randomly crowding the food. Hmmm... but I wasn't ordering a salad, and I'd already waited this long, soooo... I hung in there. I ordered an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese - my husband's standard bagel order. When it came time to cash out, my cashier was more interested in chatting with another customer than completing my transaction as I stood there - cash in-hand - waiting for her to direct her attention back to giving me a total and keep the line moving. Now - I could deal with all of this if the bagel was good. Unfortunately, it was not. Before I could even share my experience with my husband, he said the bagel was bad. He didn't eat the other half, which I've never seen him do. Not remotely close to the NY bagels we had growing up (which we recognize is a high standard). BUT! The jalapeño cream cheese was brown in color - EW!?!?! And he said it lacked flavor (basically impossible with jalapeños) and tasted old. It looked so gross and crusty I couldn't even bring myself to try it. So even though I drive by this place five times a week, I will never return. Hope they decide to clean up their act and put some effort into their shop, service and most importantly- food. read more

Best Bagels in town! They're always busy but when you walk in they make sure to take care of you when it's your time to order, small staff but they're great! It's your common bagel shop if you look closely you can see them making fresh bagels in the back. Great place to get your bagels. read more

Good bagels. Decent sandwiches. Pricey--yes. However-there is a more senior worker at the Westport location that is ALWAYS miserable and difficult to deal with. Angry taking the order, preparing it and giving it to the customers. I have been a frequent customer-no longer!!! read more

It took a while for me to get to this point, but the bottom line is... the food is great but the staff is questionable at best. Every single time I order if it's more than one thing I get the side eye. God forbid I get a breakfast bagel and a sandwich for lunch. The way they look at you is like you are putting them out. It is more money in your pocket isn't it? But in the morning I guess they don't want the extra work. Additionally, 2 out of 5 times they get it wrong. I ask for 2 eggs and maybe it's how I'm asking but it's not done right. If your going to charge those crazy prices, please bring crazy good service and attitude along with it. read more

This place is a gem imo. I recently moved to CT and decided to try this place. Parking can be chaotic at times as they share parking with other businesses. I've been to a few other VBs in the area, but have enjoyed this one the most. It has a good feel to it. It does get crowded at times, but staff is friendly and fast. Seating is available, but it's not a big place and they have 1 good sized tv, usually with ESPN on. They specialize in bagels/sandwich type foods, and they do it well! Not only can you buy their signature hot or cold sandwiches, but you can also just buy meats, cheeses and other deli items. Bagel toppings are good and very good portions. Prices are reasonable. They have a great variety of items on their menu. I've ordered their bagels, sandwiches and smoothies, all good quality stuff. I recommend the piña colada smoothie. They also have cookies, scones, cakes, all rival similar items on the Starbucks' menu. Overall very good experiences here, not half-assed prepared sandwiches from Subway. Great bagels, this is a place you'd probably plan on visiting regularly, for what their niche is, they are good! Keep in mind, this place closes early daily, they are open for breakfast and lunch hours, I'm not sure the exact close time, maybe 2PM?? Happy bagels everywhere in this village. read more

I often go to the Village Bagel in Westport and Fairfield, so I was slightly disappointed when I went to this one in Norwalk and had a different experience from what I was used to. I ordered a large salad with a scoop of chicken salad on it. The price of the large salad was $7.99 and the scoop of chicken salad was an additional $3. For $10.99 I was expecting a substantial salad. Unfortunately, many of the choices in the salad bar were empty (for instance, there were no cucumbers left). When they gave me the scoop of chicken salad (which was an additional $3), they probably only gave me a bit more than 1/4 cup. It was barely anything, and I still felt really hungry afterwards. Feel a bit cheated to have spent $10.99 on this :(. read more

I've lived right next to this place for about a year and came in for the first time today. It was so good that I felt the need to write a review mid-bagel consumption. The vegetable cream cheese taste like it was made in shop. Which it probably did because they had about 12 cream cheese options. Tasting fresh vegetables in your cream cheese was such a treat. The person who made it was great and attentive too! Seemed to have a lot of regulars. read more

Stopped here on a drive south for one thing- the rainbow bagels! Having tried the rainbow bagels from the Bagel Store in Brooklyn we had to check these out. We got them to go and had them the next morning. They were good but lacked any flavor, just were a plain bagel with food dye. The ones in Brooklyn were flavored which I prefer. Though rainbow colored bagels are still fun :) To have for lunch on the road I got a pumpernickel bagel with vegetable cream cheese and my fiance got everything with bacon, egg and cheese. Both were good New York style bagels. I liked that they offered a variety of cream cheese spreads. Plus they offer sandwiches and baked goods. read more

The bagels here are excellent and the staff is very nice. As with all bagel places there is a brisk business in the morning. The staff always runs things really efficiently and the line moves quickly. Every time I go for a sandwich I pick up a dozen bagels. read more

Best bagel place around which is saying a lot coming from a long islander. The bagels are fresh and the egg sandwiches are always 10/10. There's usually a line out the door on weekends but it goes quick. It's worth a short wait! read more

This is a bustling little spot! Not just bagels for sure; elaborate menus of salads, wraps & sandwich combinations. Variety of bagels which are decent but not my favorite. Chewy but more bread like & smaller than traditional NY bagels. All kinds of smear too. Chips, tea, coffee, candy etc. Small eat in section. read more

Excellent, bagels, and sandwiches coupled with warm and friendly service. The bagels are the I've had in years. They make a wonderful egg sandwich, as well as BLT. They greet they customers with a smile. read more

Ok so If you're buying a New York bagel in CT, look no more . Hands down delicious and if you like variety go with a blueberry or spinach bagel read more

Just ordered a breakfast sandwich and bagel with cream cheese. BOTH orders were wrong. Bagels are pretty good! But not impressed with the customer service at all. read more

$6.24 for a bagel with cream cheese and a small coffee? Yikes! I'd go broke if I ate here every day. They were good, but not $6.24 good. read more

Not all bagel places are equal. Not all Village Bagels places are equal. Some of them keep burning their bagels. This one makes the bagels right! They cook them to perfection. They are the right size. They put seasoning on both sides, not one, like most lesser bagel shops do. Their employees are pleasant and helpful. Only small gripe: they don't take AMEX. read more

Been looking for a good bagel ever since I moved from Brooklyn to Connecticut. I really believed it didn't exist in the state. I'm happy to report... Not only can you find a good New York bagel in Connecticut... It might be better than anything I've ever had. PS... Darren rocks! PSS... Now if I could only find good Chinese food here I could die happy. read more

While the food prep staff are generally friendly the pace is slow. I was pretty disappointed this time. The lunch and breakfast sandwiches I bought were overpriced and devoid of flavor. Also my server neglected to mention that the gluten free bagels were very tiny compared to the regular and each had an up-charge of a dollar. I wouldn't go back or recommend this place now that I know how the quality and price has changed. read more
