These are just the best bagels! Love pre-ordering for a weekend pickup and having lots leftover to freeze and enjoy later on. Coffee is also so tasty and roasted just for them nearby.

Served as breakfast during my stay in Boston. It's crowded with locals from early hours. If there was a line inside the store, I could have my bagel sandwich served within 10 minutes after ordering. During my stay, I ate chicken salads, classic jumbo, eggspanola, and cold smoked. You can choose the type of bagel. The eggspanola with salty Pretzel was delicious!

Good bagels, maybe 5 tables if you're lucky to snag one. The salmon lox was good, but not legendary. Line on Sunday morning was about ten minutes . Weird they didn't have garlic

this place has by FAR the best bagels in boston- absolutely no competition. No wonder there is a line out the door every weekend. Getting the Jumbo on a cheddar garlic bagel every Sunday is genuinely the part of the weekend I look forward to most. Definitely worth stopping in if you love sourdough bagels!!!

Incredible place! We visit every time we're in the area. Food is fantastic. Get there early before they sell out. Not much room to sit so recommend take out...it can also become packed with customers.

Place can get a little over crowded on weekends but some of the best bagels around. The honey rosemary cream cheese is amazing. Finding parking can be tough though.
Stopped by with a friend from out of town, and got the wrong order. It was disappointing because it was the friend’s order and we paid more for his cold smoked but ended up getting a someone else’s bagel w/ cream cheese.

Wow, it has been a while since I've had to wait in line for food, but the line was out the door on a Saturday, even at opening. It took around 15 minutes to get to the front and another 5-6 minutes to get my bagel. They don't accept online orders on weekends unless you are ordering in bulk. Despite how busy it was, it was not chaotic. They clearly label which side is for ordering and which side is for pick-up, and everyone respected that, so points for that.There were a few tables inside, but they were all taken. They have a large mirror as the decor for one side and a self-serve station on the other side. They will call your name when your food is ready, and you pick it up at the counter. I was able to get my order before the person in front of me, so they don't necessarily go in order.I ordered the hot smoked on cheddar garlic, which had Boston Smoked Fish Co. hot smoked salmon, cream cheese, pickled red cabbage, red onion, and fresh dill. The cheddar garlic is only available on Fridays and Saturdays. The portion size was great for $12, and the colors of the cross-section were beautiful. There was a lot of cream cheese and pickled red cabbage; there could have been more hot smoked salmon. However, all of the ingredients married together nicely. The bagel, on the other hand, was quite tough, like day-old sourdough. My jaw got tired of chewing halfway through. I tasted the cheddar but not much of the garlic.Overall, the bagel was good enough that I don't regret waiting but not good enough to get a 5/5.
The food here is truly great. Its cambridge priced but it deserves it. I do not at all understand the ridiculous line that builds here, especially in days they accept online ordering, but yall live your lives haha.Also really wish they improved the people management in there. Once its past 6 bodies it becomes a mosh pit

A snobby NYer appreciates these bagels. They're on the chewy side so be aware, but the outer crunch is pleasant and the overall flavor is tops

Bagelsaurus operates on what is known as the "Croissant Theory.” Which involves deliberately limiting their supply of popular bagels. The aim is to force customers to arrive early or risk missing out. Once they sell out, they won’t make more until the next morning.Bagelsaurus proudly displays a jaded "sold out" sign in their window, a symbol of disappointment that I’ve come to associate with them.The repeated frustration of arriving only to find out they are sold out is disheartening. The practice of creating an artificial scarcity not only feels manipulative but also demonstrates a lack of respect for customers' time and expectations. Waiting in line only to be met with disappointment not only tarnishes my overall experience but also left me questioning the ethics behind such a strategy, and it’s honestly just a terrible way to treat your customers.

Great stuff. Complimentary coffee too! Tried the honey rosemary because saw a lot of reviews for it. It was good, tasted like what I think a rich person would smell like.But I will say, if you’re from NYC, just wait til you get back.
