I want to root for the caboose, grew up and live in Kittery, but PLEASE TOAST THE BAGELS, they are very underdone. The machine that toasts the bagels needs to be cranked WAY up or serviced because I keep getting straight dough. Please, I love the caboose and the mini train, I want to like the bagels too. read more

Great Sandwiches. I really like the eggs benewich with sausage as substitute for the ham and it is delicious! I have also tried some of their smoothies which have also been very good. Customer service was good. Cute little place to get some quick breakfast. Highly recommend read more

really good! will stop again on the way to Freeport. Love the decaf ice coffee option! bagel was fresh and they were busy. staff friendly.

Being from New York they were not the best egg and cheese on a bagel sandwich I have ever had but it was pretty good. My family got everything bagels with egg and cheese and I believe a cinnamon bagel with cream cheese and it was delicious. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next morning and tried our sandwich with asiago cheese bagels and it was even better. We also tried the olive cream cheese and it was delicious, and not to mention the ice coffee was great! The place and atmosphere is very cute and I would definitely go back! read more

We often stop here for bagels if we are heading to Maine in the morning. The bagels are excellent, fresh and lots of choices of kind. Also varied and interesting cream cheese. I had a raisin bagel with plain cream cheese, my husband had an everything bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese. Both were toasted just the right amount and slathered with a great amount of cream cheese. Excellent bagels read more

We were on a overnight in Providence and needed a quick place to grab a bit for breakfast. This place looked like it would fit the bill. It's located just of a round a bout so pay attention to the entrance! Other than that there is ample parking in the lot which is shared by other businesses. Walking in you are immediately greeted with an overhead sign with menu items, however, you need to look around as there are other items written on other signs all over the place! We opted for a couple of breakfast sammys on everything bagels and a bagel with blueberry cream cheese. Grabbed a coffee as well. The coffee was decent, just above average. I'd get it again. The sandwiches were fantastic! Not the best ever but really close. One of them had pepper jack and man it was spicy, had a very nice kick. The blueberry cream cheese as one of the best we've had, perhaps due to everything blueberry being amazing in the bay state, but still delicious. If we are in the area, we will definitely be back to the caboose! read more

Moved to Kittery a couple of months ago, been wanting to try this place and was, unfortunately, very disappointing. When I go inside, there were no other customers, folks behind the counter didn't greet or say much of anything, just gave me a total for the check I asked my bagel to be well done, it was under cooked and doughy, just not a good bagel to begin with Also, my husband was asking questions about the eggs and we finally figured out that they are the pre made egg patties Coffee was good, but otherwise, a disappointing experience and I am sure I won't be back read more

Stopped her while traveling for work, cool little place. Great atmosphere and customer service! As far as the food the bagels are good but being from North Jersey it's not a NJ/NY bagel by any stretch. Cream cheese is homemade and they also had great coffee! I'll make this a stop when I'm visiting my Maine stores! read more

Bagel Caboose - the interior of a restaurant - Bagels Near Me - Kittery, Maine

I have no clue how we ended up here the day after Christmas for lunch, but we did! On our way home from Portland we were looking for a quick lunch spot but not fast food. After paying our last ME toll, we found the Kittery exit so I pulled over. The first two restaurants I saw were Dairy Queen or Bagel Caboose. Bagels=no-brainer. We pulled in and I went inside to check out the menu first...they had me at the lox. The interior is simple--wood floors, chalkboard menus, and a little train going around the ceiling. I ordered the lox on a plain bagel and also the Canadian maple sausage and egg sandwich on a french toast bagel (as it was suggested to me by the server). I also grabbed a small coffee and only waited a few minutes for my food. We took it to the car since we had our dog with us and enjoyed every last bite. The price was spot on too, at $13 for everything. read more

My boyfriend was raised in Kittery and was telling my all about the Bagel Caboose and how the bagels are amazing. So on a little hometown tour, he took me to his old home, while on the way we passed the bagel caboose. I knew we had to stop, but sadly they looked closed. He was determined to show me his favorite bagel shop, and that he did. The owner was closing up, and the staff had already left, but he let us come in and order. This sweet French man made my afternoon, and he made my boyfriends, love it when that happens. The lox bagel is so delicious, couldn't have asked for a better bagel in small town Maine. I don't care for cream cheese so I ordered a bagel toasted with butter, and it definitely tickled my fancy. I would love to come back and enjoy a breakfast sandwich on the patio. it is such a cute place inside and out. Until next time Bagel Caboose! read more

The owner is rude. My in-laws were visiting and we went to eat at the table out side. My father in law is a bit of a hefty man but with severe back injuries and when he sat the whole table came with him as he fell back and his hot coffee fell all over him. The owner's response? "Ze table iz for ze children". Really?! Not even a sorry that happened or anything. Thank God my father in law didn't hear it bc he would have TKOed the guy right in the kisser! Not going there again! read more

The Bagel Caboose is a charming eatery located minutes away from downtown Kittery on what is commonly referred to as the "Golden Mile" of Kittery, Maine. The Caboose is just that, a renovated caboose which operated previously in a rail station in Portland, ME. The interior offers tables for customers to read the complimentary papers while munching on their favorite bagels. The bagels are fresh daily, and the cream cheese spreads are homemade. The menu ranges from bagels with spreads, to sandwiches, bagel pizzas, and different soups. The shop is cute and inexpensive; a perfect combination for both the regular traveler on their way to work, or a hungry person 'from away' who has traveled over from the near by Kittery shopping outlets and wants a bite to eat. Stop in and have a bagel with your choice of cream cheese for $2. Personal recommendation: garlic or 'everything' bagel with bacon & scallion cream cheese. read more

Bad bagel ... went 6:30 am early on a Wed morning (7-13-2016) while on vacation here in the beautiful state of Maine, to make sure they were fresh ... Ordered an Everything bagel just plain in the bag ... I like to test bagels minus all the extras that can hide the true quality. Anyway, I think (in my opinion) they are serving something like a Walmart frozen bagel ... took one bite and tossed it .. Dry ... heavy ... stale-ish ... no flavor ... and it looked like someone had squashed it (hmmm ???) ... Could it have been in a shopping bag at one point ??? Yuk ... This is not how you do a bagel ... I know Maine is not great for breads and baked goods, but this was just the worst. Don't believe me ? ... try it yourself ... they should either get their act together or shut it down. read more

great location a real caboose, not a fan of the bagels, very doughy supermarket style and below average cream cheese

The Bagel Caboose is an adorable red caboose that has bagels, cream cheese, bagel sandwiches, muffins, and quite a few flavors of coffee every day. My favorite thing? They have tofu cream cheese! My least favorite? The bagels aren't great (I firmly believe that bagels must be boiled) and I don't think they make them there - I arrived really early one morning (6am or so) and the bagels weren't even the tiniest bit warm. Nonetheless, it's a good place and I like it. read more

We found the Bagel Caboose in a web search while looking for a good local place for breakfast while we were in Portsmouth - it's convenient to the highway and seemed like a cool locally-owned place for a bagel and coffee. They have a great selection of bagels and spreads. The breakfast sandwiches are creative and delicious. Eating a bagel inside a caboose is also a really cool experience. The staff is friendly and served us quickly. read more

Great little joint! More flavors of cream cheese than I ever knew were possible. Quick friendly service with indoor and outdoor seating. The place is small and get crowded quickly but the staff does a great job of moving the lines along. Multiple types of coffee are served along with standard juices, milk and energy drinks which you grab from a cooler next to the counter. Price isn't too shabby either. I bought five bagels with cream cheese, two bagel breakfast sandwiches, four chocolate milks and two large coffees for just $30. Gonna add this place to my list of frequently visited restaurants. read more

If the name of your place has the word bagel in it don't you think you should have a good darn bagel ? These are store bought maybe Shaw's at best bagels. Half toasted and unfriendly services My caboose won't be stopping here ever again read more

Best breakfast sandwich I've had by far. It's called the Benewich! I'll forever now go out of my way to stop there when I'm in the area. The coffee is great too ! read more

The cheese on my sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich wasnt even melted. Service was quick and good. Melted cheese is essential to a breakfast sandwich, cold stiff cheese is a turnoff read more

I hate to leave a bad review for a place that is so kind and welcoming, but this is one of the worst Lox bagels I have ever had. The salmon was not good it was small thin stringy strips of fish not your typical slabs of smoked salmon, also it was a very pale pink not the usual dark and smoky color. The bagels are also not that great, they are more like a bread than a bagel, very fluffy no crusty exterior, no crunch. I'll try them again but definitely will not be ordering the Lox. read more

I never use yelp and specifically re downloaded the app to write a review for this place. Bagels are terrible... starchy and bland. Not to mention the lady that puts them together put barely any effort into making it better, she might as well have heated it up in the microwave and then there was the cream cheese... just barely not enough and when asked for a little more they charged $1.35 for an extra side of cream cheese. I miss the old French guy that used to work there, even though his product was just as terrible at least he was interesting and friendly. Won't be coming back. read more

Coffee was pretty good, bagel was more like dry stale tasting white bread. Definitely not fresh baked or what I would expect from a place called "Bagel Caboose". Might as well go to Dunkin Donuts. read more

I'm updating this to 5 stars. Stopped in for a second time. Excellent coffee, great selection of bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Still limited seating but for the most part only have to wait a couple min and a table will open up. read more

Came into town from Florida and was craving a good bagel joint. This place did not disappoint. The bagel sandwiches are hearty and tasty. The coconut cream coffee was awesome - totally unexpected that I would like it. They had a few muffins for sale that looked great! Highly recommend! read more

I was traveling through and stopped in here for breakfast. I ordered egg and cheese on a spinach bagel. I got a rubbery bagel (even though it went through a toaster) with zero flavor (clearly not freshly baked and kept in plastic bags). Microwaved eggs (at least I think it's eggs). Processed American cheese. Almost $7 for the sandwich and an OJ. Barely edible. Nice people at the counter. read more

Huh? I do not get the high ratings for this place at all. The bagels are not good. Egg and French Toast bagels were more like roll consistency...and not good rolls. read more

Was it the best bagel I've ever had? No. Was it the worst? Also no. Did they have VEGAN cream cheese? Yes. Which is why this place gets 4 stars from me. It's very difficult to have an enjoyable bagel breakfast when your options are PB&J on a bagel or nothing at all. I was so happy to see many tofu cream cheese options to choose from. read more

The place is cute but the bagels are not! These are pieces of bread not bagels. If you are starving like I was and want a snack, a toasted bagel could stand in for a slice of toast. Not worth stopping for if you are looking for an actual bagel. read more

This place looks amazing but the food is horrible. I live in the neighborhood and believe me it's not worth it.

Didn't know what to expect when i first walked in the adorable little red caboose, and was pleasently surprised. The small room was dimly lit and they had a lot of different spreads u could put on your bagel or croissant including boursin with chive and homemade creamcheeses. The bagels are ridiculously soft and deliscious. Im a purist so i got a sesame with butter and was not dissapointed in the slightest. So good that i bought a half dozen to bring home with me :). Oh and when we went it was monday morning and the most adorable little frenchman served us. He was very kind and theres nothing like a french accent in the morning! read more

This place was great, but since it sold it has totally gone down hill. The bagels are just awful, taste like the cheap frozen bagels from Walmart. It WAS great, and hopefully they'll get their act together and go back to what they were read more

Great little bagel place conveniently located at the Kittery traffic circle, so it has easy access on and off 95. They usually have about a dozen or so varieties of bagels available to choose from, all very good. They have several options for cream cheese as well. They also offer some other small baked goods and bagel sandwiches. This is a good choice for a quick breakfast. read more

What a HUGE disappointment!! We always loved this place..They had the best bagels around here!! We had heard that the owner sold.. We stopped today for a bagel sandwich and a toasted french toast bagel with butter.. Awful!! Tasted like they weren't fully cooked. The bagels had little or no flavor.. In fact, we threw them both away.. YUCK!!! Also, the bathroom was dirty with no lock on the door... I'm afraid this place has lost our business... Perhaps they changed venders.. Bring back the old ones..... Yuck, yuck, yuck!!! read more

Not worth the money. I got a plain bagel and plain cream cheese with a juice and was charged $7.56 that's ridiculous. When I went to eat the bagel it was burnt with almost no cream cheese. It was busy but I was not impressed. read more

Since 1995 this quaint bagelry has adorned the traffic circle and pleased its clientele with a unique spin on bagel sandwiches or bagels topped with homemade cream cheese options that are sure to delight most palates. A model train chugs along the overhead track as you order from the attentive staff. There are small tables inside or outside to enjoy your meal. The ladies order lox bagel sandwiches and I got the S.O.B. (South of the border). There were no complaints. We sat outside where a few pesky flying critters bugged us slightly and watched DQ customers wondering why they strayed next door. I would go back to this actual caboose without hesitation. read more

Place was a little cramped but that is probably the only downfall. Bagels were out of this world amazing. Place has about 7 tables and not much room to stand in line. Coffee was okay. Would recommend getting your stuff to go. read more

An excellent example of why McDonalds persists in being a successful fast food chain. Places like Bagel Caboose makes trying something new an example of why that is true. Driving through and desperate for food, I took a chance. Dry bread bagel with soggy garlic coating that must have been bought from a super market and resold as a "bagel". Took two bites and threw it away. Kept the Coke! Driving on an looking for a fast food chain. At least I know what I'll get. Very disappointing! read more
