Great bagel place with super fresh bagel! Had the egg and cheese bagel and added sausage on a cheddar bagel. It came out piping hot and with a nice bite-sized muffin to top it off, the bagel was great along with the muffin. Also had the strawberry banana smoothie and it was delicious. A must go bagel shop read more

I had a peanut butter bagel with mixed berry cream cheese and a french toast bagel with pumpkin pie cream cheese. I couldn't say how they compare to New York and it's probably not fair to. What I can say is what I had was really good and I will definitely go back. read more

See all

o i know that 5 stars for a bagel place shouldn't be the same as 5 stars for a steak house, but I don't have any other option, but to rate Bobba's with 5 stars because this IS as good as it gets in Fargo. It really is great. The bagels are chewy like they should be and Boppa's has at least a dozen different cream cheeses for toppings. I also love their breakfast bagels, especially the lox. The Reuben sandwich for lunch is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in Fargo and I've been visiting Fargo every year now for 14 years for a least a week so that is a lot of meals! read more

Very cute little local establishment. It makes me happy that so many people enjoy it here. The serving sizes are great for the price, and the bagels are always tasty! The employees are always super friendly. There are also plenty of bagels from the day prior you can get for a discounted price. This is the place my mom, sister and I go to at least once when my mom is in town! read more

I love Boppa's Bagels! I crave their everything bagel, there isn't a better bagel anywhere! The only think I dont like is their hours. Not open 3. The staff and owners are wonderful. read more

I was literally led to this place by my intuition. Lucky me! These bagels are delicious and there are many flavors. Chewy, yummy goodness. I ordered a French toast bagel and an apple cinnamon bagel with maple walnut cream cheese. My only complaint is that the cream cheese is flavored with an extract and it gave the cream cheese an aftertaste. I remedied that with a little real maple syrup at home. Definitely not enough to stop me from coming back. There are so many bagels to try. read more

Even though I'm supposed to be kicking the carbs for the wedding, I seem to keep gravitating towards buns and bagels lately. So if you're gonna blow your healthy living, do it at Boppa's. Now I'm being a bit cheeky here, because even this great little shop offers some pretty healthy choices, but when you come face to face with a scrumptious french toast bagel, its hard to resist. Now sure, these aren't on par with some of the traditional Jewish bagels I've had in larger cities, but when there isn't much of a Jewish population in an area, there just isn't a demand for them. However, these are not market or bag style bagels. There is a lot of love that goes into making these delightful little 'rolls with holes' and I'm simply glad to have a shop that offers something more than "Lenders" or "Einstein's" bagels in the F/M area. read more

Oh how I've missed Boppa's Bagels. I moved back two years ago to the FM area in hopes of going too two of my favorite places one was coming into Boppa's for one of my all time favorites the jalapeño bagel. I was not disappointed the taste and the texture was so good not only that fresh right out of the oven and then for my dip/spread I got the garden veggie once again not disappointed at all the creamy crunchy texture of vegetables dip/spread for your sweet delicious bagel it just melted in your mouth. It was pure heavn. I will definitely be heading back to Boppa's bagels again sometime soon. I also picked up a cherry streusel I'm so excited to try it. read more

Boppa's is a locally owned, mom-and-pop style bagel bakery and deli. There restaurant is a small, family-style joint with limited seating, a serve-yourself bagel counter, and a behind counter food service. They are open in the morning till the afternoon, serving a limited selection of breakfast sandwiches, cold lunch sandwiches, and warm lunch sandwiches. They also round out their menu with some oddball options such as a bagel pizza, burgers served in bagel bread, paninis, soups, wraps, coffee, and limited miscellaneous sides. Generally speaking, it's a no frills kind of place, especially when you try and visit during a time when they are especially busy. Their main focus is producing high quality bagels with an exhaustive list of style choices, and I find their bagels to be of top quality. Contrary to other reviews on here, you simply cannot find even remotely comparable bagels anywhere else in Fargo. In fact, Boppa's bagels are served all over town from coffee shops, groceries, etc. That speaks volumes about how locals generally think of Boppa's. I think the fresh bagels are certainly delicious, and I've really enjoyed the quality of the more common bagel types that you can buy in their main store and all over town: everything's, onion, jalapeno, and cheddar. They also have some options that are unique in my experience, and I really like their pumpernickel bagels. For me the bagels from Boppa's are worth 5 stars on their own. However, I haven't been terribly impressed with the sandwiches/deli style options that they serve in their main restaurant. I think the twists of using bagel dough for pizza or putting burgers on bagel buns are cute, but I haven't been overwhelmed by the actual products. Most of the time I head to Boppa's for a dozen bagels and end up getting a breakfast sandwich or deli sandwich just while I'm there. It's not bad, but it's also not over-the-top great. In terms of service, it's not a sit-down style restaurant. The employees work the counter, and they have seating if you'd like to dine in, but you're not going to have waiter/waitress service or anything. Summary: Truth be told, the bagels are super good. Even when you find decent bagels elsewhere in Fargo, there's a good chance you just didn't know they were Boppa's. Love that it's a local business, supporting and supported by other local businesses. Pro Tips: They have coupons on their website for a small discount in store (http://boppasbagels.com/COUPONS.php). They also have a loyalty program that's good for some discounts, and free stuff (http://boppasbagels.com/ROYALTY_REWARDS.html). As you enter the main store, they often have bagels from the day before for half price. I'd go with the fresh bagels if you're eating in because they are best on day 1, but those yesterday bagels are great for freezing if you're taking a dozen home for breakfast! read more

Best bagels in town. Always clean and the staff are nice. I have noticed a couple times the person at the cash register doesn't seem interested in helping you and acts like he doesn't like his job. read more

The Bagels where fairly priced but I found it strange that the cheese and rainbow we're not included in the 1/2 and full dozen. Also cream cheese is way over priced, so go to the grocery and get cream chesse. Staff was friendly, the place was clean, we ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was very bland read more

We have long been fans of Boppa's soft, fresh bagels and shmear. On this trip we decided to eat in. The sandwiches were wonderful. I had a fresh and tasty veggie sandwich with a variety of crunch vegetables and a delicious guac. It came in a basket with a pickle spear, a variety of bagel chips, and a small cookie. The bagel chips were disappointing so I left them behind but walked out satisfied. (The chips appeared to be slices of dried out and seasoned leftover bagels. Not what you want when you order a bagel sandwich. A piece of fresh fruit would be preferable.) read more

Nice Jewish girl here, living in Fargo but lived in New York and Detroit for much of my life, both of which have amazing bagels. Boppa's is really good, the bagels and the cream cheese. The veggie cream cheese is world class. I like these bagels better than Bernbaum's -- but head there for the best matzo ball soup in 1000 miles. read more

Good bagels but... SLOOOOOOOOOOOW service. Always slow service. Also, inconsistent quality on prepared bagels. Mine was toasted and cold; hubby's was toasted and hot. Sometimes it's barely toasted, sometimes it's well done, sometimes you get a ton of spread, sometimes it's barely spread on. read more

Great fresh bagels. Best that I've found so far in Fargo. They are really helpful and pretty quick. Only downside that I can see is they could probably use twice as much space for production because they are so popular. Really that's not an issue. Love eating local too. read more

The best cream cheese of all of the bagel places I have been to from anywhere in the nation. The bagels have went up drastically in price over the last few years but overall a great business read more

The best bagel shop in Fargo...friendly service and great food...reasonable prices too, i just love it!

Friendly staff, clean store. Service is a little slow which i understand with it not being a fast food place. Love the cashew chicken sandwich, all veggie sandwich great place too come and get bagels to take home and use for whatever. Their cream cheeses are made fresh everyday along with their bagels. Love this place and will be going back!!!!! read more

I went to a bagle place with the same idea as Boppas Bagles in Omaha NE. It didnt even compare to the quality that Boppas Bagles offers. Truly delicious! And they have great cream cheeses!! read more

Dear Boppa's, That's it! I've officially had enough of your terrible customer service and I'm telling all of my friends and anyone who will listen. A good bagel is not worth being treated poorly. And your bagels are very good. I will miss them. After a terrible customer experience there in 2011 (when I wrote a negative review on Trip Advisor), I swore off Boppa's. After the three-year boycott, on 12/30/14, I gave Boppa's another try because I had a "free bagel" coupon that expired the next day. I grabbed a cinnamon raisin bagel and handed my coupon to Sherrie (the owner). She told me that the coupon was for a plain bagel. I had missed the fine print on the coupon, which was my error, for sure. I apologized for the error and offered to pay the price difference. But guess what...she tells me that there is no price difference. (OK, what?) She gives me that indignant half-smile and says, "we are out of plain bagels AND we are closed tomorrow." At this point, of course, she knows my coupon is no good. She has chosen to engage me in a battle about the fine print of this coupon and she will not budge. She quickly states "now I have to throw that bagel away because you touched it." (Note, this is within 1 hour of closing time and they will be closed for two days for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. What business owner does this?) She continues to push me. "So are you going to buy it or not?" To be honest, I was so dumbfounded by this whole thing that I just reached in my wallet, handed her the exact change, and walked out feeling terrible. Worst experience!!! This reinforced my feelings now, more than ever, why you do not deserve my business. I never should have purchased that bagel after you talked to me like that. Sherrie, you are horribly unkind (and this is not the first time you have treated me this way) and should not work at the front register. I've talked to dozens of people about this experience (it has made for a great "can you believe this" story) and I've looked at your reviews online. Your bagels and sandwiches get great reviews. However, for every "yummy bagel" review, I have seen bad service reviews. I quote (from Yelp and Trip Advisor). [My review from 2011 on Trip Advisor where I regretfully gave them a 4 out of 5 star review] * "This is the only place I know of to get great bagels in FM area. Everyone I have talked agrees with me on that and one other thing: that the customer service there is down right crabby. If you have ever seen the "soup Nazi" episode on Seinfeld, you can imagine what I mean. I'm always afraid I'll order incorrectly and be given the "no bagels for you" response or be banished all together. But there is nowhere else to go with great bagels and great service with a smile. So send your coworker to get them for you so you can enjoy the bagels with no ordering drama. :) " * "Food - it's ok. Not bad. Atmosphere - nothing special but fine. Service - WOW! Terrible! In fact, after my bad experience, I was chatting with a few friends who jumped in to tell me about their bad experience . . . before I even told my story. So, the cash register lady is getting famous. In a bad way. I walked in, stood around, not knowing it was help yourself. Ok, thanks no one for telling me. But ok. Saw a sign (high above register on far wall) which said buy 6 get one free. Great. Picked out 7. Went to the register and was told that cheese bagels were extra. Ok, I don't want the one cheese then. I'll trade it. And how should I know that? The register lady points to the complex tiny print menu 8 feet up the wall, behind the counter. Nope, still don't see it. Oh, between the two rambling menu boards there is a 8x11 piece of white paper with grey dot-matrix ink from 1980-whatever saying that cheese bagels are extra. Really? Should I read a gigantic small print menu looking for an exception? Ugh. I paid the 50 cents extra, don't get a free one (rip off!), paid full price for the 7th bagel I didn't want, all while grumpy cashier lady was staring at my debit card. (Memorizing my name? Just spaced out?) Anyway, you got my big $2 extra but lost my business. And from talking with others, this is not uncommon." -Leezer1015 * "I can get better bagels at the grocery store without having to interact with the always-grumpy staff at Boppa's or sitting at a dirty table." -H. J. of Fargo, ND * "Great bagels and lots of wonderful flavours! I do wish the lady would be a bit nicer though and smile! It was our first time and she didn't really have patience for us" -Noor G. of Dexter, MN * "The place has lost its charm. The employees don't seem happy, the order taker is grumpy, the sandwiches not good. The Double Olive cream cheese is the only saving grace to Boppa's Bagels anymore." * "Bagels are good, but the management is bad. Have seen the particularly grouchy woman behind the counter." read more

I visited Fargo for spring break since many of my friends live there (still) and I went to Boppa's Bagels for breakfast one morning. The bagels were delicious! But I would never go back. I'm not sure if their cream cheese was bad or not but my friend and I both got extremely sick after having their bagels. I flew out that afternoon and when I landed in Boston, I had a massive stomach ache flowed by something else I shouldn't write about on yelp. The next morning, my friend described to me the same thing had happen to her. Long story short... It is a no go for the future. Yummy bagels but not worth the 2 day stomach illness. read more

I was feeling very homesick and just needed a bagel and some strong coffee. I searched on Yelp and found Boppa and I thought 5 stars it has to be good. I went on a Saturday morning and like the previous reviews said it is a place the locals go. They had a really nice variety and fun seasonal flavors. Unfortunately the service I received wasn't the best. When you order you have the option to hand-pick your bagel or order at the counter. I choose a cranberry orange bagel and brought it to the register. I informed the cashier that it was my first time there and I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. She rudely responded "just order here next time". I asked for my bagel toasted and when my order was ready it wasn't even warm. Not the best first impression, but I'll give it another try and hopefully have a better experience. read more

This place doesn't look like much from the outside but these bagels are fantastic. As good as anything I had in the DC/VA/MD metro region. Great veggie cream cheese and kids loved the rainbow bagels. Highly recommend! read more

I do like the food here very much but the place is so small and very crowded, especally on the weekends. Also the female owner that works the cash register is not very nice at all, everytime that i have gone in there she is pushy, rude and not fun to deal with and that is a huge drawn back for me . I would visit more often if she be a little nicer. One time i was in there and i had a coupon for a free plain bagel that was offered in a coupon book that i purchased, I had a plain bagel in my bag, i showed her the bag and gave her the coupon and she proceed again to grab that bag from me and said are you sure it's a plain bagel, really? Is this a way to treat someone, i know the bagel is free but come on lady! Wish someone else would work the register other than her. read more

I can get better bagels at the grocery store without having to interact with the always-grumpy staff at Boppa's or sitting at a dirty table. Really the only thing this place has going for it is that it's pretty much the only bagel joint around. Fargo should rejoice the day that Einstein's or Brueggers' or Noah's makes it up this way and folks can get a somewhat decent bagel instead of the bad-texture, sloppily made (stray raisins in a cheese bagel? no thanks), rudely-served food that this place sells. Edited to respond to business comment: There are absolutely no personal attacks above -- I neither know nor care at all about the personal lives of anyone at Boppa's. It does matter to me as a customer that the folks behind the counter behave as though the resent having to interact with me to make a simple transaction. But I do not care one whit about anything beyond what is relevant to potential fellow customers. I could have gone on in my review about the incredibly slow line, the unclear signage, etc. But I absolutely stand by my assessment of the staff's demeanors, the cleanliness of the eating areas, and the quality of the food. Boppa's are the worst bagels I've ever eaten from a bagel specialty shop. The place has no charm, no friendly service, and no convenience to make up for that fact. This is my opinion as a consumer of bagels. If there is any sincerity in your remarks about "getting to the bottom of it": I was there for a late lunch some day between Christmas and New Years, and my order was taken by a late-teens early-20s female employee. That's about all the detail I can recall (since, again, this is not a "personal" matter). However, given your snarky suggestion about mass produced bagels and your quickness to cry "wolf" (or rather, "personal attack") I suspect that your response was an attempt to save face rather than an honest interest in providing a good customer experience. And that, sir, IS a personal judgment. read more

I used to love Boppa's Bagels, unfortunately my last two experiences have changed my thinking and I will not be back. First stop, I had to wait over 45 minutes to get my bagel and then I got mine around 50 minutes, because a mistake was made. The women in front of me had been waiting an hour. They asked for their money back, so they could leave and were blatantly ignored. The owner or manager was rude to his employees and belittled them in front of customers. Just today, I went in again, thinking I'll give it another try. This wait was only about 15 minutes, but when I got back to work and took a bite something wasn't right. The meat was rancid. It tasted sweet. I tried two more bites, thinking it was just me, but had a co-worker smell it and she said it didn't smell right either. $7+ for three bites and the rest in the garbage is too much for me. The place has lost its charm. The employees don't seem happy, the order taker is grumpy, the sandwiches not good. The Double Olive cream cheese is the only saving grace to Boppa's Bagels anymore. read more

Don't bother with the breakfast sandwiches; the egg pucks are obviously just frozen things that have mostly reheated, about on-par with something from Jimmy Dean. Not good. But the bagels are FANTASTIC. I've never even cared for bagels, and they knocked my socks off, that's how good they are! I cannot recommend the "everything" bagel highly enough, it's simply delicious. I also love the jalapeno bagel, but I wish they wouldn't bother putting the weird and bland salsa in it. I wind up eating around the soggy and unappetizing core. (Although, to be fair, I haven't found good salsa in Fargo yet.) If they improved the quality of filling in their breakfast bagel, and excised the dollop of Pace in the jalapeno bagel, this would be a five-star joint in any city. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE boppa's bagels. The whipped cream cheese is the best!

Great bagels and lots of wonderful flavours! I do wish the lady would be a bit nicer though and smile! It was our first time and she didn't really have patience for us read more

When I moved here I was worried because I love my lox and bagel and couldn't find any true bagel places. This place has a great selection and everything is always fresh. It sometimes takes a while to get what you order if you get something more than just a bagel with no toppings, etc. but the wait isn't too long, just not the quickest in peak times. They are pretty busy. Good prices, and yummy! read more

I'm trying to persuade my boyfriend to fedex me a supply of boppa's pizza bagels while I write this. Make sure you try the pizza bagel with bacon, tomato and mozz. You will thank me later. read more

Horrible customer service. Had to wait for the owner to finish a few things first while several patrons waited in line. This isn't the first time. read more

Rude cashier. Slow service. They're doing well for now. However, at the moment, they have no competition. Will gladly start taking my business elsewhere once other places inevitably start popping up. read more

The best bagel shop in Fargo Moorhead area. Cashew chicken is very great with toasted swiss bagel. Customer service is very fantastic with lot of smiles. Will always visit!!! read more

I haven't been to Boppa's but it's on my list now! I got my first taste of one of their Bagels (that's with a capital "B") at Dunn Brothers Coffee on 13th St. They had a variety of Boppa's bagels in the case and Lexi recommended the Asiago cheese with the vegetable cream cheese. I'm a believer and will be heading over to Boppa's as soon as I leave here. I'm buying a half dozen to send my daughter in Oregon. She won't believe how good they are if I don't! Christine read more

Rude people who work there and offer no help. Bag your own purchased items. False advertising on free bagels with purchase. Never will go there again!! read more

The lady running the cash register could learn some customer service skills. She can be rude at times.

This place has great bagels and sandwiches. There Cinnamon rolls are to die for. No other place better in Fargo. There are many bagel choices and they are so soft. They have homemade cream cheese to go with those bagels! read more

After spending 12 years in Fargo and moving away 4+ years ago I still think Boppa's when I think of REAL bagels. A local favorite that everyone will enjoy. read more

Good bagels. The breakfast sandwich had what seemed to be reheated eggs & meat. Ham & cheese bagel contained a tomato & onions accompanying it were crouton like bagel chips. The lady waiting on us could've been from a Seinfeld episode. She reminded me of the soup guy. You better know what you want or get glared at through reading glasses. Clean restrooms & fish tank--that's always a good sign. read more
