I have always loved Bagel Works and have driven out of my way to eat there. Yesterday was the last time. I bought a 1/4 pound of Lox and it was $16. That price is insane. $64 a pound. I live in east Boca and my local bagel place has it for $48 a pound. The one star is for the nice guy that helped me at the counter. read more

The bagels ar fresh and great breakfast menu. Weekdays you have to get the bagel sandwich!!!! Everyone is helpful and friendly

I don't have any photos of this visit because I had company from out of town, and I was more interested in spending time with one of my best friends from my high school era We arrived approximately 15 minutes after they opened, and the place had a few people in it; people were steadily coming in throughout our entire time there to a point where it was packed when we left, that was about an hour later. Let's start with the place and its cleanliness. There wasn't one speck of dirt that one saw, and the restaurant was virtually spotless; it was nice to see everybody smiling, and our waitress was absolutely amazing; the service was excellent and guess what? they are short-staffed as well Today's order was two scrambled eggs and a plain bagel with cream cheese and nova. The bagel was perfect, but I've also had better here, the nova was excellent as well, the eggs? You really can't mess eggs up lol. for a beverage. I had coffee which is rare, but the coffee was terrific. My friend that I was with echoes the same thing I said and we both enjoyed our meals there. Now I will add an observation about Florida bagels and New York bagels that everybody talks about. I had bagels delivered from the very popular place in New York and had them overnight to me down here in Florida. Both sets of bagels were one day old, both sets of bagels were plain, and I toasted one of each, and the other one did not get toasted. Bagel's works, in my opinion, were better than the bagels that came from New York, and it wasn't even close. Don't get me wrong, the bagels from New York were very good, but bagel works are supreme. I also ordered some garlic bagels but didn't compare them to BW garlic read more

Good breakfast place, fresh bagels and baked goods (b/w cookies, muffins). Bagels are good outside crust and soft inside. Even latkes are available. Good place for sit down table service or take out. Definitely come back for the bagels. read more

The service was not at all helpful or welcoming. There was not a clear menu for to go orders and the staff was very curt when we asked for clarification. It was very chaotic and the staff expressed little interest in helping the customers in line. We were excited for some NYC bagels but disappointed. read more

They have the very BEST tuna salad. I dropped by for lunch after the synagogue. I appreciate the quick takeout service. The gentleman helping me was very personable and professional, getting my order done at record speed. They have super yummy macaroni salad and babka, too. The weekends draw a large crowd of customers. I managed to place my order and be on my way in no time read more

In the area for a x-ray but arrived way early. Decided to grab some breakfast but did not want fast food. So excited to find this little jam. Went in for something crazy like a cream cheese bagel with bacon. It was delicious! And it was less than four dollars. Right up my alley! They also have my favorite Bagels and smear... lox and pancakes! I'm new to the area and again happy I found this on the spot. It's a tiny area which was bustling for a Wednesday morning. I chose to sit outside Covid still exists and there's a lot of elderly inside. I'll definitely be back read more

Bagelworks - This is where I sat and enjoyed my breakfast. - Bagels Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

The absolute best NY style bagel establishment in the Boca, Boynton, Delray area! Do not waste your time with other places. It does get busy, but in my mind that's a good thing. Our most recent visit the table next to ours got the food they ordered but seemed to change their mind and the waitress was very accommodating to get them something else, and it was done with kindness and professionalism. Best baked salmon and whitefish salads and excellent tuna. We've been coming here for years and don't mind driving the extra distance for great food. read more

So there a many choices for a deli in the area. This is the one my mom likes. This one is okay good. The sliced turkey sandwich was the best deli turkey. Thick cut, not salty or process tasting. And whoever raves about deli turkey, it was that good. The matzoh ball was light but lacked a bit of seasoning but the soup tasted like Lipton's The chicken salad was fresh and meaty, not heavy on the Mayo. Service was super friendly. read more

Omg. Just like stepping into a really great Manhattan deli. Everything is perfect. Just goooo. Enough said. read more

If you are in the Boca area, this place makes some really good bagels. They also sell other treats like babka. Service was fast and efficient. I got take out but the dining area looked comfortable. I would go back read more

Found a place off Glades Rd for bagels. They have limited seatings during the Covid crisis and are sanitizing tables after each customer. The bagels we ordered are good. I had a Lox with Rye bagel which came with tomato and a slice of raw onion. Service was fast and friendly! read more

The food is delicious and the tuna really is legendary!! The make your own salads are fantastic!

We love the bagels so much that we drive from South Palm Beach to buy them and bypass 3 other bagel stores! However, EVERY OTHER BAGEL STORE when you buy a dozen you get a bakers dozen or 13 bagels! I just bought 3 dozen and though I love the flavor and taste I have to tell you I feel that I'm being taken advantage of. read more

Just order a takeout pastrami sandwich that I threw in the garbage I've had sandwiches here before that have been very good today horrible It was made with fatty grizzly pastrami, and I watched him put in the microwave, so it was so it was very dried out- and inedible! It'll be a while before I come back if I come back ..., read more

There are regular places that in the past 7 months, I have stopped going to because of COVID hysteria. Bagelworks was the first place in mind when we finally ALMOST broke down and we were ready to dine-in. Unknown until today, Bagelworks had curbside pickup and we ending up eating at home in delight. My friend got nova, capers, tomato and onions on a bagel and I got the Ruben sandwich on rye bread. We placed our order over the phone and it was delivered to our car in the curbside pickup spot. They have adapted to the times and their quality has always been on-point. read more

I have been coming here for years. They have the best tuna fish. Bagels are great with the usuals... nova, whitefish salad, etc. They have wonderful soups (lentil and split pea are my favorites). Service is always friendly. Just note they do not seat you unless your complete party is inside the restaurant. Lots of people say " oh my friend is parking the car...."( and 15 minutes later their friend comes in). They aren't falling for it. Place is packed during lunch particularly during Season. Probably my favorite bagel joint in South Florida. read more

Great place for bagels. The tuna is super and the sides are delicious. The portions are very big enough to take home

I am really sorry to have to write this review. I think Bagel Works has the best bagels around but I have purchased tuna in a container from them and both times there was a hair in container HURL!! They do not wear hair nets there and it shows. this is beyond disgusting. BAGEL WORKS get your act together and cover up your hair. Two times too many for me. read more

Bagelworks - There it is. - Bagels Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Quality food. Exceptional bagels/flagels for Florida. Deli type atmosphere. Slightly pricey but good.

Living in West Lake Worth, l was unfamiliar with any restaurants off Glades Rd west of the turnpike. I was told l could get a bowl of soup at BAGELWORKS. All tables were full, so l sat at the counter. I ordered split pea soup and 1/2 pastrami sandwich. The soup was not salty and had a nice consistency. The Carnegie meat pastrami sandwich was overstuffed and tasted excellent. I hadn't had a good pastrami sandwich in years. It is not that l haven't tried. The staff were all very efficient and professional. Joyce greeted me with a pleasant smile at the door and walked me to the counter. She has worked there 17 years Allie was my server. She has been there for 16 years and is excellent server with a personality to match. Bagelworks runs like a well oiled machine. This was a true find! read more

Bagels are good. Sandwiches are good too. What I don't like is that everytime I go the prices seem to change as do the specials.

Listen, I don't think much of bagels outside of New York, and I'm not crazy in love with the speed of service, or the general atmosphere they create... but I have to imagine that these bagels are some of the best the area has to offer- As a New Yorker entering into a bagel establishment in Florida, you can imagine my dismay and doubt; I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of bagel and can attest my group felt the same. More than decent bagels and that's coming from me, negative stuck-up nose Nancy so... big thumbs up if you're in Boca and craving a taste of back home on Long Island or something. read more

Great place to eat schmooze and enjoy a lovely meal. The deli sandwiches and bagels are awesome!

Always go for mid week breakfast. Prices are great Bagels all made on premise and very good. Service is excellent.

Love bagelworks. Absolutely the best bagels we've had since moving to south Florida. The cream cheese is also fantastic. The homefries and potato salad are also another favorite. The pastrami sandwhich is also great and more than enough for two meals. The way they have their online ordering set up is a little confusing but that is the only thing. read more

If you want to eat fresh food come to this place, the tuna is the best and the nova is always cut fresh.

Food is great, it's a shame the staff is always rude and they are quick to lock their doors and turn off ordering, they often close early with no heads up as well. Today was no different. I called to place and order (they close at 2pm, it's 12pm) the lady picked up the phone and said very rudely "we're closed" and then hung up the phone before letting me speak. Some good management could go along way. read more

Bagelworks is quite an excellent restaurant! However, there were a couple of flies buzzing around because the back door was left open. It probably influenced me to give it 4 stars instead of 5. Even so, the meal was very enjoyable. The Matzo Ball Soup was very tasty. My Corned Beef Hash, Scrambled Eggs and Home Fries were scrumptious. It was all under-salted which probably is a good policy because so many people are on a low sodium diet and the rest of us can add spices to our hearts content. The Onion Bagel was wonderful. The menus were new and clean and had many great sounding items. Bagelworks was very busy, but the staff kept up nicely and didn't neglect me for a moment. My server, Ali G, was excellent. She brought the food in very quick order and answered every request with a smile. I am looking forward to enjoying many more meals at Bagelworks and exploring the menu extensively. read more

You can't beat the weekday morning specials at this place. Inexpensive and they keep the hot coffee coming. Bagels are good here and they have great tuna if you are into that. read more

I ordered catering for my birthday, confirmed that same day. The delivery was supposed to be around 2 pm. When they hadn't arrived nor called nor answered the phone when I called like 20 times I postponed my guests. I couldn't pick up my son from school on time waiting for the delivery. I asked my husband to get something else when At 4:40 I finally got a call from an employee who said if I still want it. She commented that she herself was unaware of this order. We tried reaching out to the manager who said he would call back - a week later we're still waiting. The one star is for food that was pretty good but the stress and aggravation I experienced on my own birthday will never make me eat / order here again or recommend to anyone. read more

We went to Bagelworks today in Boca , we ordered a poppy bagel, toasted, scooped out with cream cheese, lox, tomato and onion. Also a poppy bagel, toasted and scoop with egg cheese and bacon. Neither bagel was toasted, neither bagel was scooped out, there was no cheese on the egg bagel, and there was no onion on the lox bagel . We asked the person who took our order multiple times if the bagels were toasted and scooped and he said yes clearly you do not pay attention to your customers wants or needs. We will never I repeat, never go back to this place again. read more

Food is good for what it yes. Good bagels. Manager/owner needs to teach staff behind take out counter how to write down orders and pay attention. They screw a lot of to go orders up. read more

My wife and I came on a Sunday at 2 pm hoping to order a platter for 30 people. "The Boss" told one of his employees that we should come back tomorrow. We explained that we work on Monday but they didn't seem to care. We have been coming here regularly for 15 years and will now be taking our business elsewhere. Very disappointed that we were dismissed and sent away when the restaurant was open and clearly not busy. It might be time to close the doors if they aren't interested in caring for customers during their business hours. read more

First time trying this place. The bagels were good and the people were friendly. I will go back.

If you're looking for an authentic New York-style bagel in Boca Raton, look no further than Bagelworks. Their bagels are easily the best in town and are the closest you'll get to a genuine NYC bagel deli experience. I highly recommend the sliced nova, which is some of the best you'll find in Boca. The nova sandwich is a must-try and one of my personal favorites. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable. If you're a bagel lover, Bagelworks is a must-visit. Five stars! read more

I tried Bagelworks in my quest to somehow find a decent bagel in South Florida and I drove to their location out west and after one visit I've concluded that I have to keep on trying. Before reviewing the bagels there were already a few negatives about Bagelworks and they include; A line that is a little unorganized. And the store while not dirty, looks disheveled with no attention given at all to aesthetics. Okay I could deal with an ugly store out west (relative to where I live) and with unorganized queues but the bagels were just not worth it. They lacked NYC texture and consistency and were more bread like than authentic NY bagels. These bagels were not only not chewy and not airy but they also didn't have the right subtle blend of sweetness and saltiness. I also tried a Lox sandwich and this was almost as disappointing as the bad bagels. I'm not expecting Zabar's (and I didn't pay Zabar's prices) but I didn't expect the commercial grade salmon either. I love South Florida and I certainly do not miss the unethical and heartless politics of New York but I really miss NYC bagels. read more

The food is so fresh and delicious! One of our favorite place for breakfast or lunch. The people that work there are very nice and accommodating wanting to make sure everything is just how you like it. read more
