    Love this place! The bagels are great quality and so fresh! Quick service as it always seems to be busy! I got the egg and cheese on an onion bagel and also tried a chocolate sprinkle doughnut! No pictures of the food, couldn't wait to eat them!

    Spicy Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Asiago
    Lina L.

    Although there is a noticeable line, it moved relatively fast as people constantly came in and out. I decided to order the Spicy Sausage, Egg, & Cheese sandwich on an asiago bagel with cheddar. They made each order fresh and will call your name when it is ready. While there is seating available upstairs, my friends and I decided to eat at a local park. The sandwich was sliced in half and was packed with a good amount of food. The bagel was more on the fluffy side. Surprisingly, there is not much chew to it. The sausage was not that spicy, and the egg was fine. It was quite a filling breakfast for $8 which is not too bad.

    Solid doughnuts and bagels. If you love a classic doughnut, this is the place. They have both cake and yeast options and a few fun flavors like strawberry fruity pebbles and maple glazed with bacon. By the time we got there by noon, a lot of the options were gone though. We also got the salmon lox bagel. Warning - the salted bagel does come loaded with salt. You get a lot of lox and cream cheese as well so it gets real messy but it's a tasty mess.

    Boston Cream, Jelly, Nutella, Oreo Cookie

    Best donuts I've had in the Boston area! You can order ahead for takeout, but not on the same day over the weekends. We didn't realize it until pretty late so we paid a premium to order pickup through GrubHub (each donut is $0.75 more). Nothing grinds my gears more than paying these markups and service fees, but it was worth it. We ordered Boston Cream, Jelly, Nutella and Oreo Cookie. The Oreo was good, but didn't fit my fancy. The others were all really good! A nice, soft dough with traditional fillings. I was so pleased that it didn't have that oily-fried-greasy flavor that so many others donut shops have. Also, they didn't try to make donuts "artisan" (looking at you, Blackbird). The donuts are so substantially sized that they could use a bit more filling to improve the ratio, because it's all about the ratios haha If only they delivered (we're out of the delivery zone, even through GH). Looking forward to trying other flavors next time.

    Boston cream donut

    I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a Boston cream donut. Both were fabulous and both were the size of my freaking face! I'll be dreaming about this donut for years to come. The inside was clean and the employees were kind. I got there shortly after they opened and was able to sit upstairs and enjoy breakfast.

    Steak, Egg, & Cheese
    Jimmy N.

    Hands down the best bagel sandwiches around! My go to is the steak, egg , and cheese (get the ghost pepper cheese for that extra kick!) on an Asiago bagel. Cheesy , greasy, and so flavorful . A perfect wake up sandwich especially if you had a long night out drinking. TIP : please go early because their bagels do run out and the line is always out the door! Great service and great hospitality. Definitely recommended!!

    DSDB cubano bagel
    Nino E.

    I had the DSDB cubano and smoked salmon (lox) bagels. The DSDB cubano is interesting- i recommend it if you're a meat lover. I had the lox bagel with the honey cream cheese. My girlfriend was not a fan, but I really liked the sweetness it brought. I would definitely come back to have the lox bagel with honey cream cheese- and try something else along the way. I was only there for a short period of time- i came in at 10:30am on a Thursday. It looked like seating inside was unavailable (it was blocked off). My order came out at around 7-10mins. The cashier and cook were pretty nice; someone tipped and the cook gave him something for free, although I'm not sure what was inside (he asked if they liked salmon, and gave them a box of something). Overall this is a great local neighborhood bagel joint that im happy is by davis Square.

    Somerville donut
    Alice K.

    Bit of a line at 9am Friday. Only one cashier (rest busy preparing bagel sandwiches), and one guy ahead had a big order, waited 15 minutes... The Somerville cream and strawberry shortcake (seasonal) donuts caught my eye. Shortcake was $4.50, which seemed steep for a donut, so opted for the Somerville cream $2.75. I've heard of Boston creme (pie), never Somerville cream, so was curious. Somerville cream has strawberry cream cheese inside with graham cracker crust topping, yeasty type donut. I split with a friend and the cream just oozed out (kinda like Pepto bismol - not most appealing color). Sweet like all typical donuts.

    Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel
    Sean J.

    Stopped in for some bagel sandwiches. Definitely one of the better bagels I've had in a while. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a cheddar and jalapeño bagel. I added a bunch of veggies because why not? I liked the variety of toppings they had available, definitely different from other bagel spots I've been to. The sandwich overall was very good. I also tried the PB&J doughnut. It was good but I wouldn't say I loved it. They have a bunch of different doughnuts beyond that of the traditional spread, so I look forward to trying a different one when I go back As for the service, it was okay. It did take some time to get our to-go orders and I wouldn't say the staff was super friendly, but it was quite busy so probably best to give them the benefit of the doubt. The prices are on par for the area- fairly expensive but nothing out of the ordinary.

    The western omelet breakfast sandwiches were everything you could ask for. Hearty and filling. We only tried the blueberry donut but it was DELICIOUS! Not too sweet, lightly glazed, and the texture was pillowy and fluffy while also maintaining a satisfying bite. Will definitely try the other flavors next time - they run out fast!!

    Stopped in for a bagel sandwich and it was great. It was a lot of good on the bagel and everything was very tasty and a good portion! We also got a chocolate donut to spilt and it was like having a whole dessert for breakfast. Great place to stop in for a quick bagel sandwich!

Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

After we left to get drinks, we went around the table and most people rated the food a 6 out of 10. Some 5s, some 7s. Everyone complained about the service, but again, that's just Boston. Even waiters are fed up and bitter. I'd go back for drinks and appetizers if every other place in the area was booked.

    We were part of a large group (12 diners) for a pre-wedding dinner/party…read more Except for the couple getting married, I believe the rest of our party were the only out-of-towners dining that evening. This is a pub-type atmosphere with a full-service, large bar serving cocktail specials and a gazillion draft beer options. There is a street-side patio if you wish to watch the people and cars at Davis Square. Five Horses serves American comfort food, and they do a pretty good job serving up their offerings. I ordered the steak tips, and they were OK. They were served Med/rare, as ordered, but they did need a bit more seasoning. Plus one ordered a steak salad, and it was OK. They were pretty frugal with the protein, and it came with an abundance of tomatoes. Another guest split a cobb salad it arrived without some ingredients, like bacon. Other diners stated that their dinners were excellent, so 4 stars seems about right. Even though they were very busy, our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. If I lived here, this would be in my rotation for a brew or two, catch a game, and enjoy a burger.

    I try not to post negative reviews but I do not recommend the flank steak. I saw it (flank steak,…read morechimmichurri sauce, mashed potatoes, and broccoli) at $29 and said I haven't ordered a steak in while, let's treat myself. Boy was I disappointed, it was literally four tiny slices of beef, about a ladle and a half of mashed potatoes (flavor was great but the texture was dry and it was hard to swallow), and the broccoli was broccoli. The steak was cooked to my liking (rare) but it was room temp and I would describe that serving size as maybe the equivalent of a medallion. Everything else our table ordered (pizza, shepherd's pie, and a burger) looked great but the flank steak is not it y'all. However the service was top notch and will definitely go back, just won't order the flank steak next time!
