I ordered the turkey sandwich on an everything bagel and it was delicious. The bagel was one of the best I've ever had- slightly chewy but had a crunch on the edges from when they toasted it. Turkey was fresh and proportionate to the sandwich. The bacon was high quality and cooked perfectly. The restaurant is fairly small and sparsely decorated but I'd absolutely go here again just for the excellent bagel sandwich. I enjoyed the outdoor seating. Everything was priced well too. read more

Meh. Lacked in just about everything. Everything bagel was just a very little bit of everything. Toasted means nearly toasted. Cream cheese was the thinnest possible and still suggests it's there. Completely underwhelming. I'm just going to skip it next time and go just about anywhere for a better experience. read more

I ordered an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese, tomato and cucumber. A little light on the cream cheese, could have been a little more. All in all a good experience. The bagel was fresh as were the veggies. Cream Cheese was spicy just as I had hoped! The windows were covered with some type of paper, I wasn't sure they were still opened. Took a chance and walked in. Staff is friendly and there are a few tables for seating. Parking is limited and a little tight on weekends. read more

Nice view of the bagel making operation. Counter service and two tables, right in the path of doorway winds. Friendly staff and even proactive staff, as they realized before I did that one of the bagel items in the bag they handed me was from another person's order and they were still working on one of my items. So, in a way, good that they noticed, but not so good that the incorrect orders I keep reading about are still happening. -- Egg Sandwich on Everything: Seems like a stretch calling this an "Everything" when the seeds are so sparsely applied. Egg was cooked well as requested. Condiments as requested, other than the missing hot sauce. My wife's assessment: "Pretty good but lacked flavor." -- Salmon Spread ("Pate") on Pumpernickel: I loved the caraway seeds on the surface and it had decent flavor. Texture a little tough all the way through. The $5.95 spread didn't get me much thickness or coverage. Also very dry, along with the dry, tough bagel. I didn't taste or feel much salmon or cream cheese. In retrospect, adding tomato for an extra $.95 was a wise move. -- Coffee: Strong, hot, and good. -- Parking: Excellent. Overall, certainly at least doable. It's just that with other better and better value bagel and breakfast options these days, probably wouldn't do again. read more

I ordered lunch here via a catering service. Since I didn't step inside, I can't speak to the ambiance of the place. I can speak to the food though. I ordered a customized bagel sandwich and asked for no bagel but a wrap. They only offered a thin quinoa wrap, which broke apart very easily. However, I recognize that this is a bagel place not a standard sandwich place. Thought it was a bit messy to eat, I appreciated that my wrap was packed with ingredients and was delicious! read more

Wicked Bagel. We went there looking for the Salem-sisters :) but found an interesting local bagel shop of choices, with sandwiches, drinks, and an assortment of interesting offers. Seating was sparce, indoor and out, but clean. Prices were acceptable, not overpriced. It was a nice retreat into some place different. Additionally, Wilson Farm, a full farm market with produce, bakery, butcher, seafood, prepared foods, flowers and seasonal items is just .6 mi away. read more

I ordered two bagels with salmon. I got two bagels but only one of them had salmon and I had to go back.

So I do not usually leave reviews, but this genuinely ruined my breakfast for the week. I decided to treat myself and get a half dozen of everything bagels and veggie spread, except I didn't expect that spending $20+ on bagels meant they'd just be randomly thrown into a bag. It's the fact that I have to find a plastic bag to keep them fresh in for the week AND there are all of 5 everything seeds on the everything bagels. Disappointed doesn't even come close, will never be ordering from here again unless my goal is to find a mediocre chunk of gluten. read more

I went in for my normal smoked salmon on an untoasted everything bagel, but contemplated asiago instead. Once informed they were out of everything the choice was made for me. I requested no onion or cucumber but only capers. A LOT of capers. That's what I got! To me the hallmark of a good bagel is when it is best untoasted. Am I glad I got Asiago? Yes. Do I still prefer everthing? Absolutely. read more

Six visits, all great. Bagels have wonderful crust, flavor , medium size which I love, pumpernickel, onion, with chive cream cheese! Reminds me of home. read more

Only ordered from here because my preferred bagel place was closed today, won't be doing that again. I ordered a couple bagels and a container of cream cheese. The garlic bagels barely have any garlic on them and they gave me the wrong cream cheese. read more

I liked the name wicked bagel and had to see what was so wicked about it. There are lots of bagels to choose from, and cream cheese. I got an egg and cheese sandwich and was disappointed it wasn't cooked throughly. The cheese wasn't melted. Not my favorite way to eat a breakfast sandwich. They have lots of drink options, hot to cold coffee. They do have good coffee A few times I got takeout and reheated my breakfast sandwich which is much better. Go figure. Better to bring it home . You can watch them make the bagels there . The place is clean with places to eat but it does get crowded at peak times , like mornings. Plenty of places to park. It's local so it's nice to support the business. I wouldn't say it's wicked great, but it's good. read more

Great bagels - fresh and excellent selection. No other bagel shops (that I am aware of...) in Waltham. Highly recommend. read more

Won't go again. Ordered 3 bagels at the counter. Got to work and found 2 bagels in the bag and one was not part of my order. Maybe take the AirPods out of your ear and listen to the customer as they are ordering. read more

The staff is super nice. the place is noisy but has character. the scone was *really* old.

Dood, I do believe EVERY time I have ordered my bagel toasted it has NEVER been toasted and I've been here at least six times. I don't mean to be a curmudgeon, but this isn't rocket science -and moreover does ANYONE (some may) actually ask for their bagel UNTOASTED? I have concluded that this many times isn't just an honest mistake but rather some workers just say, "screw it" and are just too apathetic to bother toasting them or to pay attention. The workers are mostly just a bunch of high-school kids that can safely play apathy roulette. What's the worst that can happen? Maybe the customer will return later by car to demand toasting? Probably not... In the words of Sleepy Joe, "Come on... come on, man!" Otherwise, the bagel itself is good although I wouldn't say wicked good -I've had better... There seems to be no standards. Each time I order my lox everything bagel it is different -ingredients are omitted or added and ratios and thickness of ingredients are all over the map -massively thick cucumber slices and chunky onions, tomatoes and/or capers this time and not that time, etc., is no bueno. The owner should look at Wikipedia or something to see how this is traditionally made and train the staff rather than leaving it to the workers to blindly prepare them and do "whatever." This place most certainly would not fly in Queens, NYC. HELPFUL HINT: Make your own coffee as theirs is expensive and not worth the price. It's just ordinary coffee. read more

Wicked Bagel - What it SHOULD be... - Bagels Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

I almost wrote a review last week when they forgot one of my bagel sandwiches but I didn't want to act rashly. Unfortunately, they forgot a sandwich again today. Nice young people working here and good food, but I probably won't come again. Maybe a different Wicked Bagel location would be better? read more

This place is now my favorite bagel place closest to me. The bagels are consistently good. I have been coming here with toddler over the pandemic and taking advantage of their pickup window. I can leave her in the car seat and grab our bagels. Wish more places did this! read more

The bagels themselves are delicious, and I've had breakfast bagel sandwiches here on three different occasions. However, each time, the cheese on the sandwich wasn't melted, which I found odd. It was a completely cold slice of cheese on a warm bagel sandwich. Im Not sure if this was intentional or just a coincidence. Either way, it messed up the sandwich for me and I ended up removing the cheese entirely. read more

Been here a bunch of times and the service has always been excellent, the bagels were delicious, and prices were reasonable. Bagels were very fresh no matter what time of the day I went. Shaking my head at the 1-star reviews. read more

I picked up an order today 9/01. I didn't realized until I made it to the car that the bag was covered in cream cheese, as it was all over my pants and the car seat. I went in the store to ask for it to be re-bagged. I also asked for wet paper towels with soap. That's when the manager told me they have no soap. If there's no soap, how are people washing their hands?How disgusting. Wicked bagel responded to me this morning. Owner Maria said they do have soap and that I asked for wet wipes, actually no. I asked for wet paper towels and a customer gave me their own wet wipes. Goes to show not everywhere is clean and safe. read more

MUSTARD ON A NOVA SANDWHICH??! While the bagels and sandwhiches are good the service couldn't be worse. I've been ordering bagel sandwhiches to go for months now and everytime, the employees have been nothing but rude and careless. I understand, with COVID, restaurants are jumping through hoops but this is ridiculous. From missing food to completely incorrect orders, I often wonder why I go back. Maybe its my fault for giving them the benefit of the doubt. Mustard nova sandwhich?!?!?! I've eaten a ton of bagels in my life and girlfriend's family is in the bagel industry and Wicked Bagel has the audacity to tell us that there is mustard on the nova sandwhich. We ordered three bagels through a delivery app, two sandwhiches came with minimal cream cheese and my girlfriend's bagel came with MUSTARD on her nova sandwhich. We completely understand mishaps and mistakes - completely fine, especially on a Sunday! We gave them a call to ask how that happened and the teenager gave nothing but sass and attitude and mentioned that the nova sandwhich on the menu includes mustard. We kept telling him that it, in fact, does not include such. This employee on the phone was rude, called us blind for not seeing the mustard in the sandwhich description and refused to transfer us to his manager/store owner. For sure the last time we ever eat here. Highly recommend going to Bagelsaurus in Cambridge. read more

I almost didn't write a review but then took out my sandwich and saw it was made with a burnt bagel. I had ordered thru grubhub and was missing a sandwich. I called and supervisor tells me to get a refund through grubhub. Grubhub didn't make the mistake - the bag was *stapled* closed. Doesn't want to refund me so have to pick up my sandwich. I go get my sandwich which was made with a burnt bagel. Management stood by "supervising" (aka hiding behind) teenage staff instead of apologizing for mess up and dealing with me directly. Extremely frustrating experience considering I had already given a generous tip before finding my sandwich missing. There were mistakes in the past with messed up orders - one time I got a dozen bagels of what they had instead of what I'd ordered. Ends up not worth the aggravation. read more

First time trying Wicked Bagel, as I was in the area and needed to grab an easy lunch. And I'm always up for trying out a smoked salmon sandwich! I got it on an everything with added tomatoes and onions. Unfortunately, no capers in sight, and that's my favorite part of this sandwich besides the salmon. The bagel was also practically plain, not a great everything flavor. It was nice and chewy on the inside, though. And as you can see, a great amount of salmon. I also paid almost $3 for a coffee that tasted like water. Very sad. I would give this place another try but hesitantly. read more

Wicked Bagel - Bagel with Smoked Salmon Sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

I have frequented Wicked Bagel in East Lexington numerous times; pre-Covid and post covid. I love this place! The bagels are made daily and are a perfect blend of the harder outer crust and doughy inside. The varieties are plentiful and the options as good as any other shop. You can also pick up a coffee or tea or juice with your order. And, don't forget donuts that they make on weekends!! Get there early before they are gone; you won't be disappointed. Wicked Bagel is locally owned and operated and I highly encourage giving them a try. read more

The bagels are great and sandwiches (when all ingredients are included within the sandwich and made as advertised) are tasty. Most of the staff, however, leaves so much to be desired. Today as an example I stood right in front of the cashier to pick up my order and she completely ignored me and continued chatting with a friend. The first place I've seen in the last 2 years that is massively overstaffed, with high-school aged kids standing around chatting or puttering about when there are customers waiting to be served. One or two employees are hustling while the remaining 7 or 8 are just standing around looking irritated to be there. Last week, we ordered sandwiches for pickup at a specific time and when we arrived 30 minutes after our pickup time, the order was still not ready as they proceeded to fill orders for people who were ordering at the counter while we waited. Quality control and better staffing would make this place a 5-star stop. And tables to sit at would be nice, too! read more

One of the bright sides of Covid is working from home and being able to hit this place pretty much every day. A bad habit I need to stop in 2021. But- the bagels are incredible. Fresh, chewy. Never once had an issue with service. Cream cheese is next level. There is one girl who goes light on the CC- the slender female with the rainbow pin in her hat- DIG DEEPER INTO THE CC!-but everyone else is heavy enough handed. I've never had the sandwiches- but had a fresh donut once. Coffee is eh- but I'm not here for the coffee. I'm here for the bagels and they are best this side of the Mississippi. read more

An update : now at $19 for a bakers dozen , and putting wholesale customers before their front counter in terms of availability, I can no longer support this business . This is probably the last time I can come here . They've hiked prices and at faster pace than other places (yes I know inflation is a thing , but this is really getting to be disproportionate). Their service is getting worse , and their selection ever more unavailable . Sad that this started out good and went downhill , but the only thing left here is the actual bagels , which are not bad , but not worth the price or the drive for me . read more

I just bought take out bagels at wicked bagel this morning for the first time and boy are they delicious! I'm a New Yorker, born and raised and these are just like New York Bagels. Yay! read more

Service was frustrating. Ordered online and was waiting thirty five minutes after estimated ready time. Staff was pleasant and said they'd check on order multiple times but at third check, the bag was sitting on top of go shelf and bottom of bag had torn due to grease of one of the sandwiches so wonder if they had ever really checked. When got to car, realized bag was missing one of the three sandwiches so had to wait another ten minutes. Cold (salmon) sandwich was good, but two others were cold and meh so not worth the trouble overall. read more

Wicked Bagel provided food for both the kiddush lunch after my son's bar mitzvah and for the out-of-towners brunch the following day. Everything was excellent!! We're so lucky to have such a great bagel place so close by -- with both excellent bagels and excellent customer service. read more

The bagels are fresh and delicious! Also, snagged a dozen bagels for the price of a half dozen, so I'm a happy customer

Pros: Good variety of bagels Fresh bagels Parking lot offers many spaces Cons: Slow service Under-trained staff My experience: I visited for the first time today. There was a line when I arrived. It moved slowly, but I wasn't in a rush so I didn't care. My order was simple: one chocolate chip bagel, not toasted. No toppings. And a medium coffee. The girl behind the register got my coffee, so no problems there. I waited about five minutes for my bagel. You receive a number & they call it when your order is ready. When I arrived home with my food, I realized that they had toasted my bagel. read more

The bagels themselves are fine, but the staff can't be bothered to get your order right. And when you get home to find out your to-go breakfast sandwich is instead a tuna salad (which tasted not fresh; one bite and I immediately tossed it in the trash), you start to wonder why you keep wasting your money here. At least I've finally learned my lesson. I won't be back. read more
