Best bagels in area. Fruit smoothies a hidden gem
I have been going to Bagels Plus for years and I actually own a business in the same plaza. They have the most friendly staff and the absolute best bagels around! I would highly recommend the BLT because that’s my favorite but all of their bagels are fantastic and I highly recommend this business to anyone who is looking for a great breakfast or lunch! Just don’t forget they only except cash
If you love bagels, this is your go to place. These bagels are the tastiest. Ive had bagels from Dunkin, Starbucks, and none can compare to this store.
Great bagels. Fantastic lox! Cash only, but most great bagels places I’ve been are cash only. Bitcoin ATM inside is pretty odd. Service is quick, but sometimes unorganized; couldn’t tell you how many times they’ve forgotten to ask me for my money and had to remind them I haven’t paid yet.
Having lived in places where Panera is the best bagel you can get we were very excited for a real bagel shop. Bagels plus doesnt disappoint. Ladies who helped me where really nice and super fun!! Thanks for a great experience.
Girls working are nice and always working hard. Place only takes cash but has an ATM inside.
The bagels here are excellent! There are many choices. I really enjoy the bagel breakfast sandwiches. This place also has my favorite coffee.
The best around, great variety. Muffins excellent too.
Delicious homemade bagels. Very disorganized staff when it gets busy, though. Stopped in and ordered a breakfast sandwich and they forgot about my sandwich for almost 10 minutes. It wasnt until one of the girls behind the counter asked the girl who took my order what I was waiting for that they even started making it. I then realized that everyone was placing their order with the cashier, and then going and telling another person what they ordered from the cashier so the other person could get it. Very disorganized.....but delicious bagels nonetheless.
Bagels are good, working staff is good...they never answer the phone because of owner! I walked in to 5 girls standing there and the phone ringing lol he says it’s to get people out quick but the quickest way to do so is to hire someone to take calls on sat/sun so people aren’t waiting around inside! Possibly even have a phone order window for pick up? I just don’t get it and find it very frustrating! I’m sure people don’t even go because they think they are closed. Just terrible for business!
I lived in NYC. Im very picky about bagels. These are REALLY good. The best traditional Sesame Seed bagel Ive found in MA and I appreciate that they have some more exotic varieties. I LOVE the Sunflowers nutty flavor and a Cinnamon Sugar coated bagel with cream cheese satisfies my sweet tooth. Also, reliably excellent traditional latte & cappuccino. When made well the pumpkin spice, choco/carmel sprinkled whipped cream - is superfluous.
Exactly what you need when you think quality local bagel place. I drive 20 min just to get their bagels.
The cashiers are very friendly, the bagel selection is very good, the cream cheese is quite yummy.I do wish they took Credit cards but I also appreciate I got to see a bitcoin ATM in their lobby.Will be back many times when I want bagels.Thanks to the staff for being so nice.
Their bagels are likely the best in the area--particularly, the everything bagel. Nice choices of spreads--we liked the lox and the bacon-scallion.
Delicious and fresh bagels, excellent cream cheese selection, fantastic service, and very easy parking. As other reviews have said, this place is cash only but there are ATMs inside. This will definitely be my go-to bagel place!
Absolutely amazing coffee and breakfast sandwiches!! the price is reasonable and they make the food fast. I come here as often as I can. Make sure you bring cash as you can’t pay with a card.
Yummy bagels. Not quite as good as Einsteins but close enough.
There are three places for bagels on the esat/west corridor -- Brookline, Newton, and Acton. I live closer to Acton. The range of flavors is limited.. there is, for example, no sisal rye bagel. What the have is great. The outside is firm with a touch of crunch, with an inside that is flavorful and chewy.Their lox spread cream cheese is also good, and is worth a try. The whitefish salad is smooth and salty, but doesnt seem to be shop-made.During this pandemic, trips to Bagels Plus for a dozen bagels happen frequently. There are sometimes more people inside than I am comfortable with, so better to go at slow times.
Solid bagel shop, huge selection, and quick friendly service for your standard bagel with toppings. Heads up though, cash only.
Good food great service
Great food. But with all the employees that you have standing around not really that busy, and the fact that you guys closed super early, why dont you go to Walgreens and buy a Swiffer duster and actually clean the floor? The place is vile, the ground, the fridges, the walls. Try cleaning something
Excellent bagels. Maybe the best around.
Always Fresh bagels & spreads. Very friendly.
Bagels are amazing. Roast beef and herb cream cheese on an everything bagel highly recommended. Staff are quick and menu is easy to choose from.
Ridiculous... not having bathrooms for a patrons. No excuseAsked for well toasted sunflower ...barely toasted
Great Bagels. Reviews about snarly help are not completely accurate. I had 2 young people give me very pleasant service.
My coworker brought in some of these this morning and these bagels are so good!! You can tell they are boiled because of their soft chewy texture. The best kind. Cream cheese is very good as well. Very fresh.
Best bagels outside of NYC! The crew is really excellent --- really miss my weekly bagel run!!! Stay safe and looking forward to seeing you open again.
Delicious bagels. Has ATM but doesnt take cards.
Bagels Plus has been my go-to for bagels for 15+ years. They are a popular spot but always well staffed so you move through and get your order quickly. Their bagels are the best around. The selection is vast and always fresh. They also offer breakfast sandwiches (which I hear are great). They seem to get a lot of take-out traffic but there is indoor seating for those that wish to dine-in. Coffee is good and they also make real cappuccinos. Give them a try and I bet they will soon become your go-to stop as well.
The best bagels in the area. Nothing beats their warm, fresh bagels with a good helping of one of their many hand-blended cream cheeses. Add some amazing Lox to take it to the next level.
The best bagels in town. Great variety.
Fresh bagels that taste like bagels even when not toasted.
Very bagely bagels that bagel!
Best bagels in the area, by far. Bill, the owner, is a stickler for good ingredients, and it shows. The cream cheese and lox are much better than what they sell in supermarkets, too. It is cash only, but it does have, of all things, a Bitcoin ATM (along with a regular one). By the way, if you have noticed that some reviews say the service is great while others say it is terrible, that is because the good staff get weekends off and are replaced by high-school kids who are kind of lame but need jobs. Try going on weekdays if you can.
Amazing fresh made bagels! Many times they are still warm from the oven. They make them into delicious breakfast sandwiches or toasted with various schmeers. Good coffee also.
Great bagels!!
No nonsense bagel place. Reasonable prices with quick service. Good selection of bagels with traditional flavors. My only complaint is that the bagels are a little lighter than Id prefer, but still good.
I really wanted to like this place because the food was fantastic. The bagels are unbelievable. The coffee is perfect. But, my wife has a sesame seed allergy, and both times that we went there we were very clear about that, asking politely if they could just clean the area a little bit because even one or two sesame seeds could cause a reaction.Now, I wouldnt give it a low score if it were just a few seeds on my wifes Bagel sandwich. Going to a place where they have sesame seed Bagels and getting a sandwich there is a bit of a risk on our end. So I wouldnt blame them if there had been a few sesame seeds. Instead, she received a sandwich that had well over 20 sesame seeds. Three sesame seeds has sent her to the emergency room. Just for this reason I have to give this place a 2.By giving a two, that means I will try this bagel place again in the future. And, if I do and it is improved, I will revise my rating and my review.EDIT: Changed to one star from two because allergies need to be taken seriously. Would not have reviewed if they just said that they couldnt accommodate my request.
This place has been my go-to bagel spot for over 10 years. I love everything here! The selection is awesome and the bagels are really something else!! My favorite is a bagel with chive cream cheese and fresh lox!Furthermore the owners are very nice and are on-site actively helping their employees meet or exceed their customers standards!
Genuinely the best bagel Ive ever had. I highly recommend the chive cream cheese as well.
Nice bagel shop in Acton. I only visited twice and got a sesame bagel as-is and an orange juice both times. The bagels are very good. They dont take credit cards and the lady was nice enough to spot me when I was about 50 cents short of cash.
Bagels are great but they have no system for how people pay and most of standing around right next to each other. It’s very frustrating.
Best bagels bakery around. Not quite like New York bagels, but close. Their cream cheese and lox is delicious too. Note, it is a cash only place.
Great bagels and coffee. Pretty busy on weekend mornings. They _usually_ get the orders right, but once in a while there is a flub. Cash only, but they have an ATM.They have soft drinks and coffee, some milk options for kids but unfortunately no juice.
Great coffee, service & food. A nice hole-in-the wall coffee shop!
Best place around to get a real bagel
Day I was there: unhelpful, bored staff, no credit cars accepted. Hello - this is 2020.
Great place for bagels. Always fresh and flavorful. Just know its cash only.
Good products and services
Best bagels in the world! I stop by at least three times a week.
Good food, but my orders havent been right either time Ive gone and it seemed like nobody knew what was going on. Would go back if they up their process around ordering / ringing up customers accurately
Best bagel place around here anywhere! Bring cash
Good sandwiches. Would give them 5 stars if they took credit cards. It 2018. Who carries cash????
Great bagels. They only accept cash but there is an ATM there too.
Great bagels, good coffee, and great staff, nice to see a business where the owner cares and is on site.
Stopped in there this morning. The girl waiting on me didnt seem to want to be there. I got two tubs of cream cheese to go. She kept using the spatula to flatten it out in container. I was going to tell her not to be fancy. Well, when I got home isnt there a huge indent in both containers, meaning they are really filled 3/4. Wonder if this is normal or just her? Bagels and coffee were good.
Awful customer service. Doesn’t accept credit cards
The pizza bagels make you feel like a great big kid again!
Best bagels in town. Freshly made every day
Awesome bagels and good coffee. Muffins are good too and the staff is always wonderful. Thank you for so many warm memories.
Great bagels
Great bagels and a good drink selection. Its a bit weird to find the first time - you go in the back door of a random house in the middle of a parking lot, but inside its a great bagel shop.
High prices, food is not up to par with the price. Ordered a Salmon bagel for $8+ and salmon didnt even cover all of bagel. Lattes taste more like regular coffee with extra sugar.
Our go to place for local bagels both at work and home! Fresh and healthy bagel varieties! Garlic and herb cream cheese is my favorite.
Bagels are better than any chain place for sure, cream cheese options are ok.That said, theres absolutely no reason not to accept any payment other than cash. If you can have an ATM and Bitcoin machine to pass on costs to your consumers while you make money off hosting the machines, then you can add 2-3% to your prices and accept cards.Revenue will go up and more than cover the costs, plus youre doing many consumers a favor and saving them time or absurd atm fees. Consumers spend more and this is a fact, I myself would have spent $20-25 getting more food plus drinks as opposed to only the $10 in my wallet. That additional revenue alone could have covered $500-600 of card purchase fees.In this day and age if youre intentionally not accepting modern payment youre being consumer adverse. Its not like were going to be going back to a cash only consumer economy anytime soon so just make the transition and take down all the unfriendly signs and free up the ATM space.Also dont just hire only attractive high school girls to work the front, its weird and this isnt the 90s. If the owner is a woman trying to support other young women fine, but if youre a guy thats just creepy.
Delicious bagels and toppings served by courteous staff along with good quality coffee and other beverages.
Best bagels around just like you went to nyc
Best bagels around! Some unique flavors, good coffee and nice local business.
I cant believe I havent reviewed Bagels Plus considering it is and has been a staple of my diet for the last 10 years. The bagels are more New England than New York as the crust is softer than the NY style. That being said, the bagels toast up beautifully and make great bases for anything from a basic bagel and cream cheese to heartier sandwiches. The atmosphere is home-like and casual. You feel like you could hang out all day and there is plenty of space to do so as the upstairs accommodates more people. For those looking for a new place to do some work at, Bagels Plus works as they offer Wifi. The one thing to remember is that they are a cash-only establishment, which allows them to have sharp prices. However, in case you forget your cash, there is an on-site ATM. Another must try for the Acton area.
Look this place needs a face lift, but the sandwiches are delicious..This place needs a face lift!!!!
Awesome bagels, sometimes very busy. I would give 5 stars but I wish this place would finally accept credit cards - cash only, they even installed a 3rd party ATM just to avoid CC :(
Love their bagels. And love thats its a local, non-chain business.
Onion bagel with turkey bacon and cheese was great!!!
Fresh made bagels and nice sandwich. I love the garlic flavor
The food is solid. And so are the people making it. But the owner needs to invest in a credit/debit POS and a bigger toaster.Being cash-only, imposing an ATM fee is a serious drawback. Its like paying for another item. The person working cash register often doubles as coffee prep, and the bottleneck it creates in line is horrendous. Adding a digital payment option would help with the wait times.Another thing adding to wait times: the small, antiquated-looking toaster that gets a large stack of bagels on top of it (the queue) when the place gets busy.
Really great bagels!! I think the best in the area.
Awesome bagels, breakfast sandwiches and friendly staff. Slight downside due to the fact that they do not take debit/credit cards(ATM inside the establishment though) and having to deal with the uppity clientele.
Awesome bagels money well spent.
Bagels Plus has the MOST DELICIOUS bagels in the area, period. However, one must go through Dante’s Inferno to get them.There is no customer service; rather there’s a gaggle of teen-age looking girls who are more interested reconnecting with friends who stop by than they are dishing up these yummy bagels. To say that they move at a glacial pace would be a lie. In fact, moving that fast would be a vast improvement requiring neck braces for anyone in the shop.This gaggle seems to be mesmerized by the one toaster in the shop. Which I can understand the attraction to shiny objects, but girls – it’s a toaster! Together they put the bagels in and together they wait and watch as they come out the other end. Not one of them is able to break their zombie-like stare and actually multi-task.Which leads me to believe that the hiring process goes something like this: Q: Have you ever toasted anything? A: Yes. Q: Have you ever spread anything, like butter or cream cheese? A: Yes. Q: Do you have a pulse? A. A what? Never mind, you’re hired.While talking about management, which I assume is the party making the hiring decision, where are you? Do you have a clue as to what goes on in your shop? Can you imagine how your revenue and customer satisfaction would increase if your staff actually moved like they had a purpose? No, hanging out at the toaster is not customer service. Chatting rather than paying attention to the next person in line is not customer service.So, let’s circle back to customer service, in general, as it doesn’t thrive here. Imagine the experience that I and others might have if we are kindly greeted by an employee rather than treated like another interruption to their otherwise exciting life. Imagine, some kind of order behind that counter, where folks are assigned jobs – that’s right, it means the group worship of the toaster comes to an end and you assign one or two people to pull the bagel, cut it, toast it, and so one. Oh, what are other folks doing? Well, a couple could make drinks, others could prep the cream cheese – which is also DELICIOUS, and perhaps one of them understands math enough to run the cash register and make change. I know, I know, sounds complicated, so I recommend observing the staff of an area dunkin donuts or Panera. They’ve figured it.No, I don’t stop here for bagels anymore; but my husband does. It’s torture for him, but happy wife, happy life.
Wishing there could be some guaranteed nut-free bagels for our friend. These are the best bagels outside NY.
The best bagels I know of. We dont get to Acton too often, but when we do, we almost always pick up a dozen.
Great pickles 😂😊
The bagels as amazing. They have some of the best bagels I have ever had and a great staff with excellent other options adds to the amazing experience
Great, the one fault is they dont take credit. But prices and staff are friendly if a little confused at times.
Bagels are ok, but service on a Sunday morning was terrible! Sleep deprived grumpy tednagers serving cant even get the order right and give you an attitude if you conplain!! Go elsewhere on a Sunday morning!
Place is awesome, great bagels, great people, great cream cheese...
Jalapeno cream cheese on sunflower bagel, terrific
Great food, reasonably priced. Healthy ingredients. Only accept cash though. ATM on site
Love this place! Great, fresh bagels, good iced chai, and very friendly staff.
Best egg bagel Ive had in a long time ! Friendly prompt service, and delicious chive cream cheese !
Looked like a nice place. Cash only....dissappointing. this 2017. No one carries cash anymore.
Great bagels & cream cheese, excellent mocha, and special chocolate muffins! Love it! Family-owned feeling.
Great bagel sandwiches!
Great bagels. Great choices. Fast service
Great bagels and friendly staff!
