    Caprese bagel
    Anh L.

    It's okay, kinda pricey. I think you can go to other places for bagels and the coffee is so bad I wouldn't get it. There's almost a long line too

    Fast service. Limited seating inside but perfect for a grab and go or dine in if you can find a place to sit. Easy place to take visitors, and decent offerings for the price

    So amazing! Great bagels and great vibes in the restaurant. Make sure you arrive early if you want a specific type of bagel because they sell out

    We came down here for a quick breakfast during the week. We must have come here later than usual because they were almost out of bagels. They only had one plain left and two onion and cheese bagels. We decided to order those and a side of cream cheese. They have several local healthy items in this store. I was surprised by the different options they had. It was a very tiny store so there was not much space to walk around or eat your food inside. The crowd was going by quickly which was convenient. We brought it back home which was nearby and enjoyed the meal. The onion cheese bagels were decent for Boston. They did not come off too strong and had just the right amount of cream cheese. This is a place I would come back to later for a quick breakfast.

    The favorite on garlic & onion. FANTASTIC. Wish I could eat it all over again. Fresh bagel, quality egg, avo, tomato & yummy aioli !!! Highly recommend. It's super cozy inside too!

    Rosemary salt bagel
    Tess B.

    Long lines on weekends, limited seating. The bagels are decent, soft & fluffy. The everything bagel had good seasoning, but the rosemary sea salt was all rosemary no sea salt. We got the bagels 'as-is' as the shop does not have dairy-free cream cheese options. The person at the register was nice & explained on weekends they can only accommodate one as-is bagel per person which is fine. However, another person (?manager) interjected and stated it was a limit of one as-is bagel per party, not per person, which seems a little absurd. We ended up ordering and paying separately to accommodate the one as-is bagel per party rule. When we picked up the bagels however the manager was again rather hostile and stated it was one per party even if the party split up. There's no signage in the store about the rule and their website actually specifies the rule is one as-is bagel per person NOT per party on weekends, so the manager was wrong. It's fine to have arbitrary rules but if you're going to enforce them, there should be appropriate signage up and it should be correct on the website. Overall, bagels are decent and while the cashier was friendly, the manager was off-putting and enforcing an incorrect rule so would not recommend this place. Also limited vegan/dairy free options.

    Lox on poppyseed bagel

    I mean, can you ever go wrong with bagels? And there's no point trying to reduce the portion size by cutting it in half, I always end up eating the whole thing in one sitting. This hotspot boasts delicious fresh baked bagels with generous cream cheese, lox, tomato - the works! It's got a very hipster vibe with all the wooden interior and quirky pictures. Like a place you wouldn't feel bad to ride your bike to and park on the side while you have a coffee and read the paper. Student heavy which makes sense. Fast service!

    Avocado Toast with egg
    Ellie C.

    Had another wonderful visit to Black Sheep Bagel cafe! We arrived around noon on a Saturday and the line got to the door, but it moved really quickly and we were given our order pretty quickly after as well. I tried the avocado toast this time, which is an open-faced bagel sandwich with a large amount of diced avocado on top. I love the fresh ingredients and toasted bagels here. This is definitely my favorige bagel sandwich shop in Boston!

    Everything Bagel with a Spreads

    Love the aesthetic inside. Serves delicious bagels with a wide variety of spreads. Coffee was also good. Excited to try more of their small bites. There's lots of seating inside; this place is ideal for getting some work done.

    Bacon, Egg, and Fig on a Sesame Bagel
    Angelina R.

    Incredible vibes! If you're in the Harvard area and looking for a down to earth, chill vibe for a quick breakfast, I would definitely recommend this spot! The service is fast and helpful. There is a wide variety of bagels and some unique combos on the menu. I was a little disappointed, however, that they don't offer a traditional breakfast bagel, though it would be easy to customize one. As for the bagel itself, I think it could have done with a little less toasting, but the texture otherwise melded beautifully with the right proportion of ingredients. The fig jam was fabulous! And the jalapeño cream cheese had a subtle spice and wonderful creamy texture!

    Best bagel place in the city for me! It is very alive on weekend mornings and might be a little hard to get a table. There is normally a line to order but don't worry the line moves pretty quickly. It doesn't take too to get your orders as well. They have a good selection of freshly made bagels, cream cheese and non- cream cheese spreads. Their garlic and onion bagels, and poppy seeds bagels are my personal favorites. Their sandwich items: the lox and their favorite do not disappoint as well. Their strawberry cream cheese is a little too subtle though. Always my go-to place when I'm craving for baaaagels. -9.2/10

    Lox classic
    Harrison I.

    Black sheep bagel cafe is one of the best bagels in Boston! I'm so glad I finally got to try it. The spot is really cute, decked out with eclectic decorations like a motorcycle, books, fun plants, etc. The bagels were really good. The lox classic on an everything bagel was delicious and fluffy. It was well worth the visit and some of the best bagels I've had in a while. They had run out of most flavors usually by mid day so just beware! While I was there they came out with more freshly made everything bagels which was awesome.

    Everything bagel with jalapenos cream cheese and topped with red onion and tomato
    Gabby B.

    Yummy yummy bagels! Always love coming to this cool bagel shop whenever I am around Harvard Square. If it's around breakfast time expect there to be a line but don't worry it moves quickly. But come early because they do run out of bagels. I have tried several different kinds of there bagels but I always go back to their everything bagel. They have a few specialty bagel sandwiches but you can customize your own and you have a list of different spreads and toppings to choose from. They also offer coffee and I've tried both iced and warm and depending on the weather they always hit the spot. They have plenty of seating inside and a bench out front. I really like all the plants that decorate the place and the interesting books and Vinyl covers. My favorite spread that they have is their jalapeno cream cheese! I love spicy so this one's perfect for me. The jalapenos are always fresh and huge and they are not stingy with the amount they smear on your bagel. It's always a treat to stop by for bagels!

    Ask the Community - Black Sheep Bagel Cafe

    Are the gluten free bagels safe for people with celiacs?

    They told me they'll process the gluten-free bagels in an entirely separate kitchen area with strict cross-contamination protocols if you tell them that you're Celiac.

    Do you make your gluten free bagels in-house?

    Yes they are. The number of flavors depends on the time of day/week, though (up to 3, but sometimes only plain is available).

    Is the Black Sheep Bagel Cafe related to the Black Sheep Deli in Amherst?

    No, we are not related to anyone! We are a mom & pop shop and live right here in the neighborhood.

    Are there changing tables?

    Hi Sam! We do not currently have a changing table, although we are looking into some foldable options to have upon request.
