Brattle Square bagel
Della S.

I'm usually wary of bagel spots because I hate the disappointment of paying over $10 to get a bagel sandwich that barely has any fillings. Thankfully Brooklyn Bagel Factory does not disappoint! Their bagel sandwich fillings are as thick as the bagel itself. I decided to try the Brattle Square ($11.99) which came with a thick spread of cream cheese on both halves, lox, capers, tomato, cucumbers, red onion, and alfalfa sprouts. The sandwich was so hefty that it could easily be split between two people. I loved how the bagel was dense and chewy with a nice bready flavor. The fillings were fresh and the lox portion was generous!

I remember first seeing the signage for this place months ago and being excited to try it, glad I could finally stop by! We came here on a Sunday for lunch and the space was still decently busy. There was a line waiting for food and a small one for ordering, but we got our food pretty quickly nonetheless and managed to grab a table inside as well. The menu is pretty extensive and it was a bit difficult to choose what I wanted, but I settled on one of their smoked fish creations on an everything bagel. I found the bagel itself to be pretty good, but not super standoutish. The spread and filling of the sandwich was filling and I was definitely stuffed by the end. The mix of flavors with arugula and the smoked salmon itself was pretty delicious. I would say that they could've cut the sandwich in half - it was super messy to eat and started falling apart by the end. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. A little pricy, but a decent bagel spot nonetheless - I would be willing to come back to try some of their other sandwiches and maybe a drink next time as well!

Food is amazing, location is perfect if you're in Cambridge and want another breakfast option besides certain coffee shops. The negative reviews are wild; yes the shop gets overwhelmed if you go on a weekend morning. Not sure why more people don't just order ahead and pick up! I will always recommend this place. Stop in and try for yourself. Bonus: vegan and vegetarian options galore!!!!

The bagels were fresh and delicious, but they were having major technical difficulties (espresso machine and card reader) the day I went so they were a bit overwhelmed. Had a great vegan selection!

Went during opening week! I love the owner and a big fan of his other restaurants. There is a huge variety of sandwiches so you can find anything you like here. The coffee is spectacular and they have a fabulous machine. Service was incredible and as there were a few startup issues, the owner was kindly understanding of any feedback and took it with stride while catering to the needs of his customers! Would come back here to support him. Also the bagels are fire, we come weekly to grab it and jalapeño spread to eat through the week.

Drove all the way from Lynn and it was way worth the drive. Bagels were excellent and all ingredients were fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back!

This is their #9 Salmon, cream cheese, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, purple onion , capers on a plain bagel.

The food is incredible! Everything is made fresh. The bagel sandwiches are so hardy they are big enough for 2 people. (but you probably won't want to share your sandwich). Have you ever eaten something so good that when you are finished eating it you're mad cause it's all gone? Well that how I feel about their sandwiches.They offer lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well. And the PIZZA'S oh my gosh, and the tater tots- AMAZING!!! Especially the Truffle Parmesan tots Their menu is extensive which means the chances are excellent that you will find something for everyone in your family to enjoy.- please don't get me started about their pastries-FABULOUS!!! The muffins are HUGE and DELICIOUS- the Banana Walnut is my favorite. Their croissants are outstanding.- Now I'm getting hungry! The service is excellent. The owner is a nice, genuine and caring. I'm greeted with a smile every time I enter this store. The service is fantastic! I love having this store in my neighborhood it makes me feel like I'm home.

It's really a coin toss, they are either OK or not great. Try bagelsaurus on mass Avenue much better.

The blueberry bagel I had that day was absolutely superb, probably the best blueberry bagel I've ever had in Boston. A few days later, I craved that same blueberry bagel and made the trip back, which is a considerable drive for me. Upon arrival, I was told that blueberry bagels are not offered every day and are only available on Thursdays. I returned the following Thursday, but the experience was very different. I got blueberry, poppy, and a few other bagels to take home. Unfortunately, all of them were absolutely disappointing. They tasted extremely off and very different from the blueberry bagel I had previously. At home, my family ate about half of what we purchased, but none of us had any desire to finish the rest. Overall, the experience was unpleasant, and the bagels were not enjoyable at all. The blueberry bagel from my first visit looked and tasted amazing and was completely different in quality from what I received on my second visit. On top of that, the person behind the counter seemed careless with hygiene, touching the screen, bagels, and other surfaces without any apparent attention to cleanliness. It felt like a completely different place compared to my first visit just a couple of weeks earlier. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed.

Was hoping to buy more bagels to take home for further exploration, but on weekends they have a limit of 1. Even though it doesn't make my greater Boston top 5, Black Sheep has its charm and is destined for a return visit. To be continued and I'm hoping to bump up the score.

Friendly staff and even proactive staff, as they realized before I did that one of the bagel items in the bag they handed me was from another person's order and they were still working on one of my items. So, in a way, good that they noticed, but not so good that the incorrect orders I keep reading about are still happening. -- Egg Sandwich on Everything: Seems like a stretch calling this an "Everything" when the seeds are so sparsely applied. Egg was cooked well as requested. Condiments as requested, other than the missing hot sauce. My wife's assessment: "Pretty good but lacked flavor." -- Salmon Spread ("Pate") on Pumpernickel: I loved the caraway seeds on the surface and it had decent flavor. Texture a little tough all the way through. The $5.95 spread didn't get me much thickness or coverage. Also very dry, along with the dry, tough bagel. I didn't taste or feel much salmon or cream cheese. In retrospect, adding tomato for an extra $.95 was a wise move. -- Coffee: Strong, hot, and good. -- Parking: Excellent. Overall, certainly at least doable. It's just that with other better and better value bagel and breakfast options these days, probably wouldn't do again.

Went on a Friday around 11:30am (FYI use Yelp to get address or Google Maps - Apple Maps took us somewhere else). Located in Seaport district with plenty of outdoor seating available. You do have to order a minimum of 3 bagels with a Schmear so just keep that in mind. We got the Poppy, Sesame, and Everything bagels with Scallion Schmear. Bagels were perfectly soft and the schmear was delicious! I wasn't sure how I would feel about the concept of ripping the bagels and dipping it into the cream cheese, but I actually ended up preferring it - less messy and more cream cheese per bite. Wish PopUp Bagels was in the Bay Area. I would definitely return!

The bagels were very fresh (you can smell them well before you see their storefront in the suprette). You get 4 bagel options and a similar number of spreads to choose from. Then they toss them in a bag and you're on your way. So...the bagels are good...but that's kind of it. No seating inside, lattes were from a can, no avocado spreads just cream cheese varieties and butter. You won't be disappointed but if you're expecting something life changing (based on the hype) I think you'll be disappointed. I went close to when they open at 7 and waited less than a minute at most.
