I am born and raised in NY and still have to say these are the BEST bagels I have ever come across. Cripsy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Just fabulous! The everything's are my absolute favorite. A bit pricey for a dozen, or a single with a schmear, but worth overall worth it because they are so darn good. read more

A very decent bagel and lox, but a bit overpriced at $11. Don't understand why the other bagel king was only $8, which is a good price. I would eat there again, but due to the high prices, it'd only be occasionally. read more

My favorite bagels! I've been eating them for three-and-a-half decades. When Benny moved his shop from Norwalk I just drove farther. Now, I buy two dozen at a time and freeze them. They last me a couple months but lately my kids have developed a taste for them so I may have to buy more. They have a shiny, chewy crust to them. Some, who I believe are just used to grocery store bagels, find them to be too chewy. Not me. The extra chew allows me to savor the delicious flavor a little longer! I'm a purist: plain, toasted, with a little butter. Sometimes a touch of raspberry jam also. I love these bagels! The staff is always friendly and efficient. Some faces I have seen for quite a few years now. Try these bagels. read more

Egg & Cheese on a bagel = the best breakfast ever. I have not gotten anything else at Bagel King, mostly because I don't ever want to. The E&C is cooked fresh - they crack an egg on a griddle, stir it around a little bit (no sunny side up here), let it cook, slice of cheese on a bagel and voila...amazingness. Its in a big shopping center with Trader Joes. They also have another location on the Post Road in the Brick Walk Shopping Center which is usually a little less crowded but they can run out of bagels a lot quicker because its a secondary location that gets their bagels from the main one. read more

Great spot, quick staff and they get the order right every time! Must try their Sunday special olive bread!

I previously rated Bagel King the lowest but with new management, it now has superior customer service, clean refreshed interior (no roaches crawling in the display case) and sanitary handling of product and money. Well done!!!! read more

Came in here looking for an everything bagel, they were out but I substituted with onion. The bagel was fine nothing special, but I didn't taste the onion flavor at all. I'm pretty sure I was given a different bagel, but it was still good. They give a healthy amount of cream cheese (too much for me, but more is better than not enough). The one thing I must say is that the store had an overwhelming nail polish smell, I know there is a salon next store but it was it was too strong. read more

I love this place. My current favorite bagel place in the entire United States, and I am NOT KIDDING about that. I seldom eat bagels . . . I save it for when I visit my hometown and get a chance to stop by Bagel King for a toasted pumpernickel with plain cream cheese. :) read more

If you are looking for true NY bagels, then this is your spot. I only discovered because Panera wasn't open yet. This place is a treat. Great bagels and spreads. Will be grabbing a bunch to go the next time I am there. read more

The Best Bagels. When I am stuck eating a bagel from anywhere else, I am always disappointed. I love the crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside bagel that they make. I also love going here in the morning when the bagels are still warm from the oven. Do yourselves a favor, don't bother with other bagels, these are the best!! I do wish they carried vegan butter or cream cheese, but it's better they don't because I might go here everyday for a bagel if they did! read more

Some of the recent employees have a bad habit of not washing their hands or wearing gloves right before and while preparing the food. This had happened to me 2 times before I decided to finally say something. While a much older woman grabbed my bagel with her bare hands I asked politely if she could put on gloves and she just rolled her eyes and mumbled under her breath. Another time two of the employees were having a full blown conversation in my face while I was waiting a good minute to order and then tried to say it was about store business as if I and everyone else around couldn't hear what they were talking about. (It wasn't "store business") they're kinda gross and pretty rude. The food is great and a convenient location but I'd rather just go to a different store. read more

Did I go to the wrong place? This picture doesn't look like what I saw today. I'm sorry but this place was awful. I drove 20 minutes with kids and had a ordinary bagel in a McDowell's-looking location (see Coming to America). Still seeking the best bagels in CT! read more

I will NEVER give my money to this location ever again!! The two Spanish ladies working there were so RUDE! Horrible customer service. And 90 cents each to toast bagels is mind blowing. The bagel wasn't even that good it's was flat and lifeless and really salty! DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!! read more

This place has THE best bagels hands down. NYC has nothing on these guys. I go on Friday mornings and pick up bagels for the whole weekend. They also make delicious breakfast sandwiches (on their bagels of course). read more

This place has been part of my life since I was about 3 years old. I used to take weekend trips with my grandmother here to get breakfast and man, this place is the perfect bagel place. It's just like New York, only closer !!!!! The bagels are TRUE boiled bagels, hard and smooth on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Their cream cheese is home made and OHHHHHH MAANNNN it's a m a z i n g. It's so creamy and thick and wonderful, even the lox is fresh and just the right amount of salty. The pastries are always delicious, the blueberry muffins are a personal favorite, the berries are at the bottom and the texture of the muffin is a bit like corn muffins. Sooo good. read more

This is my go to bagel place in Fairfield. I'm a big Brooklyn Bagel (in Chelsea and Astoria) fan. These are the closest I have found in the Fairfield area. The bagels are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The everything bagel tends to run out, so sometimes you may have to wait a bit for a fresh batch. The service overall is speedy and friendly. read more

Bagels are my favorite food. Unfortunately, not every place has adequate bagels. But this place..... the bagels are incredible. Every Saturday morning I get a bagel from here. What can I say? IM ADDICTED TO THESE BAGELS!!! If you want bagels, this is the best choice. Best bagels outside of New York I've ever had. They also have deli meat and stuff, but the highlight is there bagels. read more

Hands down the best bagels in the area, especially when they're fresh. A little bit more chewy than your average NY/NJ bagel and, in my opinion, far superior. TIP: Don't miss out on the giant chocolate chip chocolate chip cookies! Crumbly with a hint of cinnamon, they are a real treat. read more

Last time I was down here it was kinda late in the day and it was slim-pickins on the bagel front. I wanted an egg and cheese sandwich and what i got was a bit disappointing - if i had just stuck with bagels maybe it would be 4 stars. I remember going here "way back" when i was a kid .. now the little strip mall has trader joes and pizzeria uno, and some competition across the street from Einstein bagels .. but this place is still an honest local favorite bagel emporium. read more

Bagels were kind of small. Nothing crazy about this place except that it's the only bagel joint close by. We arrived around closing (12:30 on weekends!?!?) and a couple was still eating but she told my friend and I we had to leave with our bagels... kind of a turn off but I get it... read more

Great bagels made fresh daily. What I enjoy about this place is that you can tell it's a family business. The owners are Italian and you will see the same people working here every time you come in. Great selection of bagels and pleasant people. read more

Smallest bagels that I've ever seen. I got an everything bagel, and only the top part of it had anything on it

Two stars specifically for the sanitary aspect of the place. Bagels were grabbed with tissues, but then were touched with bare hands when putting into the slicer, and spreading on cream cheese. The same employees handling your food run back and forth to the register without any sign of gloves. It's a shame, because the bagel was delicious.. Crispy and flaky and very generous amounts of cream cheese. Coffee selection was limited, and credit cards only accepted for $10 or more. My best suggestion would be to grab bagels by the dozen and toast them at home. read more

Only been there once and definitely a very busy place. Tried a couple of different bagels and some of the smaller size ones too. Got a couple of croissants and I have to say. Having lived in New York these are as authentic and tasty bagels as they get. Took some of the cream cheeses home too and were unbelievable good. I definitely think is worth a try if you like bagels. read more

I love bagel king. The bagels are so chewy and perfect. Also, they have the BEST challah in all of fairfield country. But you have to get there early on friday- they sell out quick! read more

I was very disappointed in the quality of the bagels, they were hard and didn't taste fresh at all, the whitefish was extremely salty. The lox was very good but 36 a pound seems pretty high. They were very nice but for the price I was not satisfied at all. read more

if you want a real bagel you should go to the REAL Bagel King in Bridgeport on Main Street. I have been going there since I was little. I recently moved to Fairfield and saw they had Bagel King in Fairfield and was so excited. WHen i got there I was let down by how different it was from the one I grew up on. They wouldn't make me a bacon, egg and cheese either because it is kosher. Words of wisdom- go to Bagel King in Bridgeport. You won't regret it! read more

One of the worst lunch experiences I have had. I ordered a roast beef sandwich on a hard roll. I neglected to say anything after receiving the incorrect amount of change (it was only a dollar short) and sat down to enjoy my lunch. Before I even took a bite of the sandwich, the sour spoiled smell from the meat hit my nose. After opening the sandwich And finding spots of mold on the meat, I went right to the cashier and asked for a refund. He was only able to give me a gift card or an exchange. Well my appetite was gone after that so I took the gift card but I will not be going back to this establishment. ** Spoiled meat, stale hard roll, horrible customer service** STEER CLEAR OF HERE read more

My favorite bagels in Fairfield, CT. They have good coffee and the schmears are good and reasonably priced.

Yes, the food handling leaves much to be desired. I saw the same heavy set girl handle cash then bagels without gloves. That was a big turnoff. I asked her to put on gloves for my order, a whitefish salad on sesame bagel. It was absolutely the worst I've ever had. Don't think I'll be back. read more

Went on a weekday morning, ordered a sausage egg and cheese, was told they do not do meat on sandwiches... opted for egg and cheese, it was pretty good. The saving grace was that it was a freshly cracked egg. Bagels were ok, crispy outside and chewy inside. My friend got a bagel with cream cheese, and the cream cheese tasted old. The picture is not at all what the inside looks like... Bagel King of Bridgeport is hands down far better! read more

This was one of the worst bagels I have ever had. I ordered an everything bagel (untoasted) and all the toppings were BURNT. They also fell off the bagel and made a mess as soon as I touched it. The bagel was also super small in size. I ordered a plain bagel as well and it was completely tasteless. They also do not take credit cards. The woman behind the counter told me they only take debit or cash. read more

I like that the bagels are made on the premises and it seems like they work hard because I know the whole business of running a business and the crazy early morning hours to produce bagels, but in my opinion, the bagels are lousy in taste compared to the standards of a NY bagel. Coffee is okay. The real reason for writing this review knocking off 3 stars is because the workers weren't wearing any gloves and were handling bagels and cash at the same time. read more

Updating my review because they changed the bagels. They are smaller now, which is ok, but they aren't as dense as they once were. Need to find a new place. Very sad. read more

Nothing in the area compares to Bagel King - try the everything bagel (my weakness). Amazing homemade cream cheese. They also do lunch, and their chicken salad is fantastic you can buy it as a bagel sandwich or in a 1/2 lb container!. Try it - they will win you over. read more

Bagel King has the best bagels in Connecticut, IMHO. Also, they have great lox and lots a good spreads. Plus, they are really nice people!

Best bagels in Connecticut ... I live in Virginia and it's the first place we go to when we come back in town!!!

They do not know how to toast a bagel here...they BURN them. Lady gave me attitude at the counter when I said I could not eat them because they were too hard. Sorry I didn't want to break a tooth over a BAGEL!!! They are fine right out of the oven without being toasted but then they are average. Good chive cream cheese, and they repack some other companies whitefish and put it in their containers. read more

We love the bagels here. Baked just right...and not enormous. Lots of seeds on the seeded bagels and flagels.

Undersized and irregular shaped bagels obviously made by kids that just don't care. Flavor very ho hum. I mean seriously... who screws up an everything bagel. Fancy bagels is way better. In fact, for our money, several of the local grocery stores have better bagels. The positive reviews here are either from people who don't get out much or Bagel King staff and owners. There are better bagels out there. Come on America ... get your better bagels! Won't be back. read more
