"Round and round With love we'll find a way Round and round What comes around goes around" (Ratt) If you were ever driving around Connecticut with a hankering for a really good bagel, the odds are very high that you satisfied your hunger with a Between Rounds bagel. They have storess in South Windsor, East Windsor, Manchester, Vernon, and Tolland, plus dozens of Big Y, Highland Park, Geissler, Price Chopper, and Shop Rite supermarkets. Their modern and very comfortable store interiors have the feel of an upscale bakery or café, so it's a great place to sit and unwind with homemade bagels, muffins, wraps, salads, lattes, frozen drinks, and more. The bagel choices have all your favorites (and a few more) like Blueberry, Cinnamon Raisin, Egg, Everything, Onion, Plain, Poppy, Pumpernickel, Sesame, Whole Wheat, etc. The bagels are pretty big -the one we had with cream cheese and smoked salmon last night was five inches across, so a half was enough. Yesterday I picked up a big bag of assorted goodies including an amazing looking Cheddar Bagel with tantalizing jalapeno slices. I have to seriously ponder what's going on that beauty! Any suggestions? read more

Had a delicious egg sandwich made fresh. Still hot as I ate it. The prices are crazy high however. I do know I can get the same order for $4 - $5 less at another bagel shop. I did enjoy the piped in holiday tunes. I will stop in again soon to try a signature sandwich and soup. read more

I'm a bit of a bagel snob, but these were great. The staff behind the counter were nice and even jokes with me when I saw a giant Reese's PB cookie and had to have it. Location was clean and I liked the mural on the wall (admittedly I forgot Mark Twain had lived nearby). My only critique was that they didn't have any olive cream cheese (my wife's favorite). read more

not impressed, oh, the bagels are fine, I get them at the grocery store and pay almost 40% less at the store. oh and I can get decent service at the bakery counter vs this place. oh, and the store has an abundance of varieties at 10am including your staple , sesame. harsh as it might be to tell it real, this Is what you get, first impressions. Was it though? I think I might have tried a while ago to get a bagel, similar results. went right to the store and got my bagel void (hole?) filled. read more

Went in to Between Rounds SW/Manchester around 8:15AM this morning. Saw nobody was in line and only one person waiting at the pickup window. I put in an order for a toasted bagel and then proceeded to wait a good 10 minutes for my bagel as person after person came in to pick up their online orders. I finally looked over the counter to see if my bagel had been forgotten. The girl behind the counter asked if I was waiting on a bagel, to which I replied yes. She then grabbed a bagel from the rack, cut and put in the toaster (this was probably 12 minutes after I ordered). I finally received my bagel about 15 minutes after I ordered. I'll be going to Dunkin next time for prompt service as I do not order food online. Perhaps you should put a sign at the door stating your online order preference policy so people like myself aren't getting the false impression that they will be in and out quickly with no one in line in front of them. read more

We had a Mediterranean wrap each. Large hunk of cold moz and not much else. Our fault for not asking more about the proportions. It was a waste of money. Bagels looked of the bready kind so there were few options. Ambiance was fine, place was empty. read more

My first time here and I enjoyed the egg and cheese on a bagel. The bagel was fresh and it was a good sandwich. They have a good spread of bagels, muffins, scones and also flavors of coffee. I am certainly coming back to try more from their menu. During my first visit, the experience with the staff was not pleasant, but I will certainly revise the review post my next visit. read more

The owner should be careful with new hires. A young lady served me today at the drive-thru and she wasn't very pleasant. She was NOTHING like the long time employees. The food is delicious as always tho. read more

I haven't tried their drinks, but their baggels and sandwiches are good. Friendly, chatty attendant, happy to just rush your order, or discuss your options for five minutes, depending on your preference. They have a reasonably sized menu board, although I will say that when looking for sandwitch options, I felt like there wasn't a lot of room for creativity. But that's okay; it tasted good, and the quality was reasonable. read more

Came to this location for breakfast because I've always wondered what it was like but never had the motivation to go out of my way to try it out. On the way to work, stopped in to get a breakfast wrap (the Jenkins). Location: The location is overall well kept and maintained. The interior is clean and welcoming. Getting to the location from the opposite end is difficult as you would have to go far to do a u turn. Food: the wrap was well prepared and not messy. It was not too hot yet not cold. The wrap itself was extremely appetizing. Cost: For the wrap, I paid over $5.00. To me, it wasn't worth the cost of the food. read more

Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Cafe - My girlfriend's egg, sausage and cheese on a cheddar bagel was also very tasty!! - Bagels Near Me - South Windsor, Connecticut

Never too busy, the Mexican wraps are so tasty. Wish they had more flavors for the frozen drinks. The bagels are always fresh and their specialty cream cheeses are so good. I wish the pumpkin spice flavored cream cheese wasnt seasonal read more

I've been meaning to give them a try since a friend raved about the banana hazelnut coffee! The morning I went in there was a choice of about 20 different coffee flavors (self serve). I tried a swig of banana hazelnut, but it want for me, so went with Jamaican Me Crazy which was quite tasty. I prefer flavored beans to syrups, so this gif the spot. I went with a cheddar bagel and it was very good. Crisp exterior, chewy interior, and a good amount of cheese. I try not to eat too many carbs, so when I indulge it has to be worth it! Lucky for me this place is near the gyms I visit, so if I need to indulge it's convenient! read more

Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Cafe - Cheddar bagel (plain) and small coffee 3.91 incl tax - Bagels Near Me - South Windsor, Connecticut

I was set to have interviews here for the day. Their website says 8 o'clock as soon as I got here they told me that they close at three huge inconvenience. I will not be coming back here. read more

Pretty much everything you would expect in a bagel shop and more. The service was fast and friendly. This is Laptop friendly environment with free WiFi. You can eat your bagel drink coffee and get work done. In the room by the drive thru there outlets you can plug into. You could hold small meetings there. The bagels and the coffee were good. They also have sandwiches and salads What I didn't find that I would have liked is some comfortable overstuffed leather chairs for reading read more

Chapter 1: Breakfast After hearing about Between Rounds during commercials for the last five years, I decided to give it a try. I had just left Cardio Express, and I wanted food, and a bagel was the perfect option. At first I thought I was just going to walk in to a world of bagels, dangling about from the ceiling, employees already in song and dance and I'd walk up, order a delicious breakfast sandwich and be on my way, but what I was in for was something completely different. Chapter 2: Sandwiches I walked in to boards upon boards of food and soups and lunch items and chips and a deli quick pick area, I was overwhelmed. What a wonderful little delicatessen I told myself. I also immediately realized that I wished there were other Between Rounds, and more of them, scattered about CT, this is only one of two locations that I've seen, but I don't often travel this way. I still ordered a breakfast sandwich on a cheddarish cheese bagel and it was awesome. I will be back for more sandwich Between Rounds!! I will be back. read more

Food was tasty. Egg, cheese and bacon on a hard roll. Self serve coffee bar was easily accessible and coffee was delish. Customer service was impatient and mean tone of voice. I felt bad I was placing an order. I never have these issues at the BR in Manchester. read more

I love their fresh and delicious bagels and cream cheese. Bought a Dozen Bagels to bring home to the family. My favorites are the Cheddar Cheese and the Everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. I also tried one of their cranberry orange nut muffins because I never realized they sold muffins and it was the best I ever had. Never had anything I didn't like there and have been going there for years. Only negative is that the drive thru is very difficult to communicate because of loud equipment nearby. read more

I simply cannot understand the three-star reviews here. Between Rounds is the greatest bagel place on the planet, hands down. Boar's Head deli meat for lunch sandwiches, freshly-cooked egg for the breakfast sandwiches, bagels are consistently delicious, lots of variety and plenty of options. The drive-thru is convenient and they have free wifi for guests. They even have a large back room where you can meet a large group or hunker down with your computer to get some work done. I eat here at least three times a week. Service is fast and efficient, the quality of the food is superb. The bagels are top-notch and the sandwiches are large and in charge. There's nothing better within 50 miles. Everywhere we go, we compare the quality to Between Rounds. They have set the standard and it is high. read more

My favorite place for breakfast! The bagels are fantastic and there are lots of cream cheese choices. Bakery items are generally good. Sandwiches ingredients are fresh and yummy. It's also a great place to go with a laptop - there's a room to the side that's often very quiet. I've spent long hours working here and they let me refill my coffee cup for free!! read more

Stop here every other Friday or so for a bagel and a coffee. The bagels are fresh and I particularly like their scallion and vegetable cream cheeses. When they toast the bagels, the cream cheese still stays thick, so you don't have to worry too much about spillage if you are grabbing it to go on your commute. They have a good selection of coffee, flavored and non. The service is decent - more efficient than overly friendly, but that's what I'd want in a morning bagel stop. To sum it up: Definitely a better bagel than what you can get at a chain or grocery store, so worth a stop if you are local or passing through, but necessarily a "destination." read more

I've been coming to this shop ever since I was a little kid, and it's always been very good. Bagels are always fresh, the hot drinks are good (even their hot chocolate, which is kind of surprising, since most other places do not do it justice), and their pastries are also very tasty. I always get their breakfast sandwiches, or for lunch, the All-American Heavyweight (bagel piled very high with three different kinds of meat, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and with chips and a pickle). All very tasty, and all very New England-y; out of towners would do well to stop here and try a really good bagel. ;) Only one star knocked off for customer service-it's hit or miss. Some are quite nice, other grumpy, and others have straight-up attitudes. BUT, they are efficient, so at least there's that. read more

In the drive thru for over 20 min. 3 cars ahead of me. Lady who took my order was not friendly and when I got to the window finally, no one greeted me. Window was closed. Sat there for five min waiting until I finally just pulled off without my order. Terrible service. read more

I recently was recommended to give this place a try. I was craving egg salad for lunch (Yummmy) and said sure...why not!!! This place is amazing. The options are endless. I had an egg salad on a wheat wrap with a pickle and a bag of chips (all sandwiches come with chips and a pickle). This place also has bakery items for any sweet tooth cravings. I'm actually thinking this place is better than Panera Bread. Yup...I'll let you process that information! Enjoy!!!! read more

I am disgusted!!! Completely unprofessional!!! I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese and when I went to eat it I found a hair in the cheese!! When I went up to the counter to ask for a new one, they tried blaming it ON ME. I walked out I was so angry, there was no arguing with them. I felt completely belittled. Never again!!!! And after reading more of their reviews it seems like this place has a real problem with customer service. How about you guys take a hard look at yourselves before you turn around and get nasty with the customers. Nasty!!!! Beware read more

I go by between rounds in John Fitch Blvd South Windsor CT every morning So today I decided to stop and get a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. I was skeptical about getting a coffee there but I gave it a try. The coffee was pretty good but the bacon,egg and cheese on a roll was absolutely horrible The bacon was raw and stuck in between the runny egg and the cheese tasted horrible. spent almost $8.00 on garbage Will never spend another cent there! read more

They just redid the inside of this bagel shop. It looks very nice. I don't love their bagels and their breakfast sandwiches are coming out of the microwave. I also heard some not so great things about the owners. It sounds like they are not very good to or appropriate with their employees. read more

I ordered a ham and cheese bagel with lettuce and onions...after the first bite I did not taste any ham, so I pulled apart the sandwich to find they had only gave me one thinly sliced tiny piece of ham...I used to go here all the time...never again read more

Low on items always, mostly bagels but today it was the lemonade too and it's only 9:50am. I just ordered food in the drive through and someone cut me in line after I ordered my food. She didn't take my food she was talking to her boyfriend or spouse I'm assuming that works there as and employee. Bad customer service!! read more

After I'd been out this morning to pick up my normal coffee, on the way to dropping my lovely son off to school, we passed this place. He remined me that had promised we'd check it out. It was early so why not. 1 its a nice place for breakfast and they have a decent menu, the bagles seem fresh at first glance. 2. they have lox spread as an option,but nope they don't carry that anymore(strike 1) 3. the bagles are fresh but, but when asked did I want the bagle toasted on the first order I told the counter person no, but she didn;t ask me for my second order which was a cheader bagle with butter ( i wanted that one toasted, cold butter on a cold bagle not so good)guess I should have spoke up. 4. they have a nice spread for the different coffees they offer but no napkins out and iIhad spilled alittle, the counter person seemed kinda aggitated that I asked for a napkin??? 5.I checked out the lunch items they had out already which were a few salads, they offer soup too but they were not ready yet. They also have iced coffee in the fountain like dispeners. 6. over all this seemes like a nice place to pop by for a quick coffee or a bagle or cookie? Come again maybe , make it a habit no. read more

Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Cafe - Bagels Near Me - South Windsor, Connecticut

Rude cashier at drive through. I asked her if there was a military discount. She ignored me. And pretended not to hear me. After I asked her at least twice. I asked her again, and she replied "that's what I'm working on". I asked for my money back and left. I'm not paying my money to be treated like that. This is the second time the service was poor. I finally decided to do a post on this. Something is wrong with that place. read more

Such a nice place!!! They have free coffee for healthcare workers (which is SO amazing for me as I have to work and pay off my loans) and have really good bagels!! Decent size and decent price! read more

I only got a latte here, but I cannot wait to come and try the bakery next cheat day. The place is really aesthetically pleasing, both inside and out. The food looks fresh and delicious and they even sell their own cream cheese there. They also carry many flavors of Stewart's soda, which is always great. The staff are friendly and my latte is very good. One thing to be cautious about is the temperature of your drink. It is hot coffee, don't drink it right away, it will burn the living shit out of you. Overall a very cool little place. I'll be back. read more

Food is good but don't bother going through the drive thru. It's the worst service. They take forever!! I'm not sure why they even have it if they can't keep up with it. read more

I really enjoy coming here for coffee, and they have baked goods that my daughter loves! Today I came in for a salad for myself. I have an egg allergy and asked if any of the dressings were egg free- the woman at the counter said she didn't know and then sort of just stood there staring at me. Made me feel incredibly awkward and bad. She couldn't have checked or asked someone else? Just made me feel like my business wasn't valued. read more

What a great place for a quick breakfast! Between Rounds has a huge coffee selection-- both hot and iced-- and an assortment of pastries, bagels and breakfast sandwiches. This particular location is really bright and comfortable, and the prices are super reasonable. I had a western wrap, which was really fresh and not at all heavy or greasy like breakfast sandwiches can be. read more

I love Between Rounds for their bagels and their sandwiches or wraps. My go-to items on the menu include sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches on everything bagels, chicken cesaer wraps, and oven roasted turkey sandwiches on plain rolls. The drive-thru service is quick, and you know your custom sandwiches are always made fresh. read more

Went for the first time to get a bagel with veggie cream cheese. This place is nice with kitschy coffee mugs. I will go back.

They make the such good sandwiches and I always make an effort to stop in for lunch when I get the chance! Tasty tuna salad and a bakery section to die for. Cannot wait to go back and try out a breakfast sandwich of a bagel! read more
