I believe the restaurant perminately closed in May. Loved the place! Toy and the crew were wonderful and always pleasant in the mornings. Sorry to see them go. read more

Superb bagels, sandwiches, coffee, staff & vibes. 10/10 -- would recommend Beyond Bagels to all.

I stopped at Beyond Bagels for lunch while waiting for my car to be worked on. It's a small place with a few tables, but nice & clean. The food was very good. I ordered the Collosseum (they need to check their spelling there), which is an Italian sandwich. It was well-stuffed with excellent cold cuts and toasted nicely. The raisin bagel was great, firm, but not like a rock. It actually contained a generous amount of raisins (I've had some which had very few). I also ordered a strawberry smoothie. It was light and well-made but the strawberry flavor was very weak. I doubt they used any strawberries there, so it was missing that extra zing. The staff is very nice, helpful & efficient. By the way, they now accept credit cards. read more

This is not a choice destination. If you absolutely need a bagel then this will work but don't expect more than average. The condition of the place felt neglected and level of cleanliness is very low. This makes me wonder if the kitchen and prep areas are kept in a similar fashion. There are simple things to bring the condition of the space up to normal standards without a renovation. For instance the pealing floor is fine just clean off the top of the recycling can lid that's sitting right by the cream station for coffee. The lid is filthy and would be simple to make clean. There are about 20 other similar examples. Okay so I let this go and thought the bagels might be the hole-in-the-wall type of good but they were average. Burnt edges from toasting and maybe a little soggier than would have preferred. read more

After an unfortunate morning at a Dunkin and having them mess up my order I came here for a bagel and I'm so glad I did. I was in and out in under 5 min the service was wonderful and quite refreshing after coming from Dunkin. I got a plain with plain and it was great. It had a crisp and crunchy outer shell and beautifully soft inside. And paired the perfect amount of cream cheese. Also my bagel and cream cheese was only 2$ which you really can beat. read more

Wholesome and clean bagels, however, the sandwiches can be a tad small and leave you feeling hungry still. The staff are nice and the establishment takes cash only. read more

Great food, friendly and helpful staff! With a good bagel selection. Stop by and give a try, it's worth it!

Came this morning since next to my work. Strayed away from my normal place. And sad I did to say the least. The cold brew french vanilla was good. But the bacon egg and cheese lacked. The bagel was lukewarm warm and doughy and there was one strip of bacon for full sandwich. If I'm going to give small shop my business over Dunkin' should not skimp on bacon from bacon egg cheese bagel sandwich. I wouldn't go back personally wasn't enough for me to come back. read more

Best place in North Reading! Everything is great and all the staff is amazing! They are so personable and always smiling. After your first visit you feel like you're at home. Everything on the menu is so good and fresh. Always clean and spotless as well. So glad I found this place, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quick breakfast or lunch! read more

The best, friendly service and great food. Breakfast or lunch, way better than the chains

Second time visiting, excellent sandwiches at a good price! The staff is friendly and attentive and the service is fast. They smile and look at you when they are helping you. That may sound like an odd thing to point out, but it's not very common with counter service nowadays if you think about it. I'll definitely be back! read more

The poppy seed bagel was good. They had muffins that looked good but no flavor of my desire. Cash only and plenty of parking. read more

Great breakfast sandwich (go w Swiss cheese over American) and even better service. Support local businesses that provide real value in their communities. read more

Good bagels, is it bagel world? No. The bagels are good though and the service is excellent.

I have been going here a couple times a month on average for several months, when seeing clients in North reading. Their bagels and bagel sandwiches are delicious and you can tell freshly made. Their baked goods are also pretty good. I will say their coffee and smoothies (I think from mix) are just ok, I would prefer a beverage from most other coffee shops . But friendly, quick service and they do live up to their name for the bagels themselves so I will continue to go there for lunch when I have clients in the area read more

Beyond Bagels - Lox on everything bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North Reading, Massachusetts

This place is a hidden gem. Bagel sandwiches absolutely slap. Iced coffee is a delight. The owners are a very nice family, always friendly and kind. 10/10 recommend. read more

I live down the street from this place and always drive by it daily but never stopped in. I got an egg, bacon and cheese on a croissant. It was really good and fresh. The croissant was really fresh baked with a nice buttery flakey top. It's pretty big versus a regular sized croissant. I would definitely come back to discover the rest of the menu. Great customer service. Very friendly workers and quick made order to go. read more

Beyond Bagels - the inside of a sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North Reading, Massachusetts

Pretty good bagels...only disappointment is that they only take cash and don't take cards. But there is an ATM there.

Beyond bagels has delicious bagel sandwiches. Great people that work here too. Their pastries and coffee drinks are great. My favorite sandwich is the Ruben in the Round with Asiago bagel. Absolutely delicious. read more

Just had a bowl of Italian wedding soup and was excellent. I eat a lot of soup in the winter for lunch and this was one of the best. Got 5 good sized meatballs and loaded with Vegs, escarole and dot pasta. Not as good as my moms because she Adds chicken ...but still the best I've had in a while! Can't believe a bagel place has such good soup. I'll be back on a regular basis to try the other sups they have. read more

It was my turn to pick up breakfast at work. Tried this place and I'm so glad I found it. Great variety of bagels that were huge. Also many different flavor choices for cream cheese. I also picked up muffins which added to the nice variety. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

I have been coming here for years, this is a family run business and always have had great food, quick service and a pleasant experience. Highly recommended. read more

We went to Beyond Bagels for the first time this morning and it was a great experience! The staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered a dozen assorted bagels and three kinds of cream cheese (Salsa jalapeño, scallion bacon, and honey walnut). Everything tasted fresh and delicious! The prices were very reasonable. The only inconvenience is that it is cash only! Luckily I had cash with me this morning. We have been looking for a solid bagel place close to Andover and we finally found it! We will definitely be back! read more

I love this place! Family owned, care into every order and they have a great selection of bagels and coffee flavors. You can get Dunkin Donuts any day, why not go Beyond Bagels? read more

This place is the best. Large menu and everything we've tried is amazing - bagels, muffins, coffee drinks, the Reuben, the Lox. Super low prices and we love supporting a family owned business. Definitely recommend! read more

Great Bagels and sandwiches, friendly prompt service with a smile and great prices. Family run.

YUM! I live in Oregon, but I grew up in Andover, Ma. Boy do I miss good bagels. I have been here before so that is why I returned today. This is a small bagel shop, cash only, and the bagels are delicious- just like they should be- crisp bite inthe outside and soft on the inside. I can't wait to have another one tomorrow morning! I wish more places like this existed in Oregon, Kettlemans is the closest there read more

My family and I have been coming to Beyond Bagels for as long as I can remember! From lunch dates to early Sunday mornings, Beyonds has and will continue to be a weekly ritual in our house! Everyone is so kind and welcoming, and the bagels are always fresh and delicious! My go-to order is a Turkey club on an egg bagel! read more

I've worked in the area for several years and have been really wanting to try this place but I just never think to stop. Finally this morning my boyfriend and I stopped in. At first it looked promising. There was a decent selection of items to choose from and the place appeared clean and quaint. However, from that point forward it went down hill. I noticed that they have "cash only" signs up everywhere. It's 2015 for goodness sake....I hardly know anyone who carries cash anymore. Still, if the food was great than that nuisance could certainly be overlooked. We proceed to order . No they can't do a decaf latte. No, they don't know what flavor shots they have - go read the bottles. Their toaster is broken so they can't toast the bagel. I watch as they crack an egg into what looks like a styrofoam bowl and microwave it. Communicating with the woman running the counter was also challenging since her English was just so-so but she was polite at the very least. My boyfriend was so relieved when I turned to him and said that we could just stop at Dunkin Donuts to get our coffee since it would be cheaper and I could get decaf. I got to work and tried the breakfast sandwich I had purchased. The bagel was rubbery (probably would have been better if it had been toasted) and the rest of the sandwich was mediocre at best. Based on the reviews on here I am tempted to try their lunch but it's not it's not very likely. read more

The bagels here are good, the coffee is not. If a bagel place needs to get one thing right, it's fresh bagels, and Beyond Bagels has some tasty bagels. Every day they put out a finite number of freshly-baked bagels, and they stay open till they sell them out. That's a good sign. Their coffee and espresso, on the other hand, just isn't particularly good. I'm almost certain it's the beans they use, since everything else is done by machine. I've tried the cappuccino, espresso macchiato, and iced coffee, and all had roughly the same taste. It's frustrating, because they have an espresso machine right there and everything... like... they've invested in an expensive espresso machine, then never bothered to get good coffee beans. I'd really recommend their sandwiches, particularly the ruben. I haven't had a sandwich from them yet that wasn't tasty and satisfying, and it feels like all of their strengths come together with their sandwich menu. All options use sliced deli meats - so like, sliced corn beef, sliced turkey, sliced roast beef - so it's nothing you haven't tasted before, but again, it's good. The freshly-baked bagel as bread is really what elevates the whole thing. That said, I've gotten a single bagel toasted with cream cheese before, and it's pretty disappointing. The bagel wasn't really toasted at all, and there was a thin layer of cream cheese that you'd normally only put on one half, rather than spread across both. You're better just buying six bagels and a container of cream cheese and doing it yourself. So, yeah, I'm going to keep coming back here for the sandwiches and the occasional bag of half-dozen bagels. read more

You know when you go into a place wondering how it stays in business and then come to the conclusion it must be a drop spot because that's the only way it could make money? Well that was my thoughts on this place. Maybe that's why it's cash only.... Monday morning at 745 and literally no one is there. The help is in the back when I get in and have to wait . Then the person helping messed up my coffee order and I had to correct her (which by the way my order was iced with whole milk) Everything bagel with light cream cheese was basically on par with dunkins... So nothing special there. Coffee is sub par to dunkins. Sooooo.... read more

LOVE the coffee here. Butterscotch coffee all the way, hot or iced. The Chicken Cesar wrap- oh so good! and I think they have good soup too -but its been a while. I used to work down the street from here and would stop at least once a week (sometimes 2x in one day) for their delicious coffee and friendly service;I really miss this place! Occasionally I will go out of my way for a nostalgic cup of coffee and bagel and reminisce about the good old days when my commute included driving past Beyond Bagels. The inside is cute and tidy. Generally I grab-n-go, but there are a number of tables available and often at least one party sitting down to enjoy their food. The parking lot is small and can be a nightmare to get out of if you are trying to cross 28...but its well worth it. read more

We just moved to the area and was told this place was a go-to for bagels/breakfast/sandwiches. I went in a little before lunch time and was the only one there...Service was friendly and quick and I even got a "free" soda because I was there before noon. I'll take it! The bagel I got was decent, cream cheese was good, but I couldn't even eat the lox. It was just extremely fishy (maybe I'm a bit too picky). I had to take it off the bagel sandwich. I'll definitely give this place another go but won't get the lox again. Oh and as many other people have said, it's cash only! read more

Beyond Bagels has solid bagel sandwiches. I really like the All American. Turkey, ham swiss, lettuce, tomatoe, and horseradish spread. Delicious! Their smoothies are really good too. The staff is very friendly too. The only downfall is they are cash only but there are plenty of ATM's in the area. read more

Customer service wise only -- they do not accept debit/credit cards (huge signs posted all over). At 930 on a Sun AM almost nothing left (hopefully the food I'm bringing home is good). Server ignored me and spoke directly to my 4 year old -- sweet but I'm the one with the money. read more

Love Toy and Yan at Beyond Bagels!! Food is always solid, best soup around and priced well. There breakfast sandwiches are really good. My family have been customers for a long time. read more

Terrible experience. I accidentally ordered "scallion" cream cheese instead of chive and they threw a temper tantrum when I clarified that it was regular scallion and not bacon after it was made, only due to an allergy. They threw the first bagel out aggressively in the trash and loudly exclaimed "NOW I HAVE TO THROW IT OUT." all while rolling their eyes and showing extreme frustration despite being told the only reason for the precautions was for an allergy. I used to really like this place but it seems like they went from service oriented to money focused. They are very rude, don't mind yelling at you in front of other customers, and belittle you if you make any clarifications, comments, or point out an error. I won't be back. read more

They have the best wraps and egg sandwiches- I get the Asian Chicken wrap every time I come. Prices are average. The only drawback is they only accept cash, so it's a bit inconvenient. Highly recommended! read more

Used to go here a lot, 9 years or so ago. So much the lady behind counter would start making the order before I actually ordered and paid 2-3 days a week. One day didn't have cash and tried credit. The guy looked at me and said we don't take credit. I said I don't have cash today. He said sorry I can't let you have ur food. I continued to say ok I have to leave, he just tossed the bag in the garbage as I walked out. I'd say since I'm there so often why not say pay next time, instead of just throwing it away like a moron. Have not been back and just stumbled on it's yelp review and yep, same things are still happening. Why do people support such poor business. Oy and free drink before noon, line takes so long to get thru better get there by 10:40, if they still do that. read more

Maybe I caught this place on a bad day, cause the other reviews are good. Went this morning because I've been wanting to try this place and the line at Bagel World was about an hour long.... Service - absolutely horrid. The woman behind the counter didn't even acknowledge me as she was making someone else's coffee, and then another customer walked in and she immediately recognized him and asked him what he wanted today. He was clearly a regular, but she could have acknowledged me before taking his order. She did come back and take my order before getting his coffee... The bagel was horrible. It was worse than 2 day old bagels from Stop & Shop. I literally took 2 bites and threw it away, not worth the waste of my calories. read more
