My wife came to get bagels for her work. She called the order in before hand like the recommend on busier days. They then forced her to pay an 18 percent tip on her order. There is no sign stating this policy and no place on the receipt for a tip. They were rude and disrespectful to my wife and embarrassed her as well about this. I called to talk to the manager and said that I wanted the $15 back and I was told absolutely not and that was their policy. This is absolutely no way to treat a customer and it is sad that a local business treats their customers this way. Also, $15 is NOT 18 percent of $60 so that is even more shady than before. read more

Food was fine, customer service was ok. I got a breakfast bagel that was good, would recommend if you want to try a local spot. Guy making the bagel was super friendly and also gave us a bag of valentine's day bagels which was super nice! Cashier in the front was not so pleasant, I paid for my bagels and then waited for my food, as I was about to leave she yelled and tried to accuse me of not paying... even though I just paid 5minutes prior.. There were not that many customers in the store soooo read more

First time at Devine's Bagel & Cafe and experienced Great quick service. There are so many bagel & spread options to chose from. I went with the jalepeno and cheese bagel with cucumber dil spread with egg and cheese. To my surprise had a Hashbrown in the middle and was so good. Would definitely be back. There is off street parking and some seating area inside read more

Happy St. Patrick's Day to Devine Bagel (in Milford) who will Never get my business again! I received terrible customer service and was then Demanded 20% gratuity and when I came up short I was referred to the manager. Not for nothing but gratuity should be decided by the customer, not demanded by establishment, especially when all you did was put bagels in a bag and ring the register. Shame on you all. read more

Terrible customer service. I walked in during business hours and took the attendant 5 minutes to acknowledge me and did so reluctantly. I asked for a bacon egg and cheese but they had no bacon. I suggested they should close earlier than their posted time. She shouted something I couldn't make out. I said don't worry I'll never go back. She said: "Good! Don't! I don't care!" Worst experience I have had in a very long time! read more

We stop in often, great friendly place. The service is quick and always with a smile . The menu is extensive for a coffee -bagel shop. It is very busy mornings, slows down after lunch. All adds up to 5 stars ***** read more

Wow, was trying to place a 30 sandwich plus bagels catering order on 3/6. The women taking the order mentioned after placing the order that they only take cash as gratuity, I told them I'm happy to give a tip but do not have cash and would have to put it on a card. They refused the order without gratuity. Crazy for them to turn down a $300 plus order for that. Hope that wasn't the owner and the owner reads this. I try to support local businesses but some make it difficult. read more

Bagels were good but the customer service was not warm and friendly but efficient and delivered my bagel with haste.

Food is good. However the staff are rude . we had a large order we then asked to add one additional bagel, the woman was mad and began slamming things. horrible customer service 10/10 food !!! read more

Very good bagel all the way which they call the yachty aka a bagel lox and cream cheese, with tomato thinly sliced onion and capers. Perfect amount of cream cheese. I love it toasted onion either an everything or pumpernickel bagel. Quick and efficient and friendly. There's a couple of tables indoors and out to unbag your booty and enjoy. read more

Last week I stopped by Devine's Bagels after I saw a photo of their "Rainbow" bagel on Instagram, it looked really good! They close at 2PM and I arrived around 1:30, and they were completely sold out of bagels (literally not one bagel left). The staff member working told me they had an unusually busy morning. I was pretty frustrated because I drove a half-hour to get there, but I figured the bagels must be really good if they were sold out! I went back the other day (around 11:30) and luckily they were fully stocked on bagels. They had a pretty good variety too, with flavors including Plain, Cinnamon Raisin, Blueberry, Egg, Wheat, Rye, Spinach, Rainbow, Salt, Onion, and more! I ordered the Rainbow Bagel toasted with cream cheese, and it was delicious! They also have a menu with breakfast and deli sandwiches, pizza bagels, salads, sides, etc. On the counter they had a half-dozen bag of "1 Day Old" bagels for $2.75, which I thought was a pretty good deal (and an indication that they make their bagels fresh every morning). The staff seemed very "straight to business" and not overly outgoing, but they were also pretty busy at the time, and that might have been why. The inside of the place is nothing special, with just a few tables to sit at. They also have seating outside. Overall a solid bagel, I would go back! read more

This is my first time here, as I was visiting a family member. She recommended we stop in for their lox bagel sandwich. Pluses are the bagel was great -- heavily seeded, and just a little salty. They used a good amount of cream cheese, not too much and not too little. The food tasted fresh and the bagel was a nice crunchy outside, chewy inside combo. The people working were nice and fast. Minuses were no one was wearing masks. One person had one on her ears but not her face. I can imagine this would deter a number of people from coming in. I also didn't try the coffee but was warned that it was terrible and just tasted like water with some coffee flavor. I'd definitely come back here for another lox sandwich, or some bagels and cream cheese (their cream cheese looked great)! read more

I love this place, some of the best bagels I've ever had! They always have new specials and the most creative cream cheese combos. My favorite is the jalapeño cheddar bagel toasted BE&C with honey sriracha cream cheese, just WOW!!!

Devine's Bagels & Cafe - Jalapeño Cheddar BEC - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Tried to support a local business vs going to Dunkin. After having spent 4 hours in the Milford Hospital ER since 3 am with my 95 year old Grandmother I stopped in to get breakfast for my wife and I. After I ordered and spent a few minutes talking to another customer that I knew, another man at the table stood up and started berating how I parked my car out front. Now there are no clearly defined parking lines or parking signs out front of the business like the diagonal lines next door at Carvel. After telling me that I had "no common sense" and telling me to move my car, I asked if he owned the place. "I sure do he answered". So I told him to keep his bagels and left. My common sense told me to go somewhere else. I'm a business owner myself. This is not the way you treat a customer. Was I parked improperly? I can't say because there were no clear spots for the business. I didn't want to park at Carvel because I was not using their business. They could have the best bagels in the world but when you get yelled at by the owner in front of other customers, I'll pass. read more

Devine's Bagels & Cafe - the outside of the building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

The two ladies who work there each morning are the nicest ever. Great customer service. And the bagels are delish. I make it a point to pass by each morning coming off from work at Milford Hospital and i always order the Captain or the Admiral. This place is a gem and will always be my favorite bagel shop in Milford. (Thank you for the 6 free donuts those two beautiful ladies gave me and said to share it with the other nurses I work with. Thank you, it made our day a whole lot better!) read more

I walked in this morning and ordered an Egg & Cheese on an Everything toasted bagel. The girl behind the counter picked up one cold pre made egg, threw it on the bagel with a piece of cheese. she then put it in the little counter oven they have and left it in for a few seconds. She pulled it out and I asked if it was a premade egg. she opened the bagel and the cheese wasn't event melted. Bagel wasn't toasted. I asked for a bagel with cream cheese instead and she wouldn't make it. She insisted I pay for the bagel that I wouldn't even feed my dog. What kind of service is this? Laziness is what it is. read more

Great quick breakfast. Fresh NY style bagels and huge selection of cream cheese. The staff was super friendly! Loved it so much we came back the next day!!! read more

Small bagel shop with pretty tasty bagels, but nothing that will blow your socks off. Have a wide variety of cream cheeses & also make bagel sandwiches. I went during COVID and they didn't have any seating inside, but they did have a little outside. Idk what the seating is like during non-pandemic times though 6.5 read more

Love your bagels, but wait staff so unfriendly! They have a bowl for tips, and I normally tip, but I didn't even get a hi or even a thank you. When did become acceptable for businesses to not thank customers for their business? I have rule now, no 'hello' or 'thank you' no tip. You have to at least be nice to me. read more

I have been to Devine's several times, as it is our local bagel shop. But, the last few times I have witnessed such awful customer service. I do not know the name of the woman with the long black hair, but she is verbally abusive to her coworkers and customers. I had ordered two bagel sandwiches and after a few minutes; the associate preparing the bagels held up the bag and said your bagels are ready. I let the woman with the long black hair know and then she yelled at the woman making bagels that there was no ticket and threw my bagels to the side. I waited. The woman with the long black hair then yelled at the sweetest couple who was just trying to pay, loudly saying "I will be with you in a minute". And, this sweet couple just stood there. It was sad and awful to witness. I know working in the service industry anywhere is tough. I have been there, I get it. Sometimes customers can get to you. But, there is no excuse for the verbal abuse I witnessed of employees or customers at Devine's. I will not support their business anymore. read more

Here for the first time this morning. I usually grab bagels in NYC before heading home, but decided to try a local spot instead. 9 AM had three customers inside, seating area was small but looked cozy. One employee handled it all well. I just grabbed 6 bagels to go. The Jalapeño Cheddar was excellent, crunchy thin exterior with pillowy bagel inside. Bagels were $1.75 each. Sounds a little expensive but comparable to NYC or Brueggers prices, without an up charge for "specialty" bagels. Will return! read more

I don't go there for coffee or sandwiches as most people who've had bad experiences noted. I just go there for bagels but not as often as I used to because a half dozen bagels went from under $6 to $7.50 in the last year. I understand that costs are high and they are a small business but the prices are now becoming cost prohibitive to a lot of people. They offer lots of great varieties and they last quite a while when kept in an airtight bag or container. I also love that they support other small CT businesses by offering their beverages i the cafe. read more

Service is terrible..heavy set woman with the brown hair has a complete attitude..I stood at the counter until she FINALLY acknowledged me..like i should be kissing her ass..no hello..just "what can i get u" unreal..bagels taste like cardboard but uunfortunately the only bagel shop in the area..then i knew it wasnt me bc its not the first time ive had this encounter with her and a customer walked back in politely to tell her they gave her the wrong bagel and she gave her an attitude the customer finally said to her "you seem like u are mad about it" and literally was gonna just leave without her bagel she already paid for! I felt really bad for the customer bc she was not wrong in how she was feeling about that woman treating her!!! Wake up..its called customer service if u dont like your job go work in a warehouse away from people...miserable and nasty terrible read more

My first time going in there today and their cucumber dill cream cheese is oh my gosh. the egg bagel unfortunately doesn't have any egg in it lol. The orange juice...though expensive, taste so fresh. way better than tropicana. worth it. customer service is good too. read more

Bagels are great here, they have a bunch of optionality in order to make something special. My only complaint is that this is a very grumpy group working here... it's if they don't realize they are a bagel shop, and they get upset and frustrated when people order food. read more

I give the 3 star rating not because of the bagels but because of the very stingy amount of bacon on their BEC sandwiches. I remember it being a better portion in the past. For $5+ you expect more. The sandwich wasn't very warm either. However, the bagel was soft, fluffy, and delicious. I will echo the other reviewers and agree that the staff isn't very welcoming or friendly except maybe to the regulars. read more

Devine's is conveniently located and offers a wide variety of breakfast sandwiches/bagels & other treats. This spot is perfect if you are just looking for something to break your fast but not looking for a full on sit down breakfast. I ordered a bacon, egg & cheese on an everything bagel which is my ol' reliable order. Here at Devine's, it's 'I will show up every time for you but don't expect anything flashy' type of sandwich. It hits the spot but doesn't hit theee spot. In terms of wait time, it took a while but only because this joint was bumpin. If I was in a rush, I'd probably hit up a Dunkin because they are way faster however Devine's bagels/sandwiches are definitely superior...so if you have a few extra minutes, I'd hit this spot up. read more

Bagels were decent but they go light on the cream cheese Coffee tasted like coffee flavored water, gross Egg sandwiches are microwaved eggs, give me a freaking break. I'm paying $5+ for a precooked reheated egg? And don't toast peoples rolls if they don't ask for it. read more

We had 30 pple for an after wedding breakfast outdoors. Bagels werent fresh. We ordered fruit and only received watermelon (instead of a variety - not everyone likes watermelon). They said they supplied everything: coffee fixings, paper plates and napkins. They gave no utensils (to spread creamcheese), no paper plates nor napkins! Luckily someone had a roll of paper towels and a few plastic mismatched utensils in their car. They gave us half gallons of milk that were already opened with some milk already gone. They also mentioned they were going to add some 'weddingy' decor. The decor consisted of 'happy wedding day' written in black marker on the plastic cover over the bagel container. Not to mention the cost, not worth half of what we paid! We sent an email a few days ago with feedback and never heard back. We like to support local business however this business deserves zero stars / two thumbs down. read more

Great local spot for bagels and breakfast sandwiches! I love popping in here for the everything bagels!

Fallen was very helpful and very funny! She is down-to-earth, and upfront. Bagels were delicious; cream cheese was tasty!! *i got a sandwich bagel, and requested a lot of cream cheese on it as well....Fallen didn't skimp on the cream cheese at all! Super neat place. Check it out read more

I've tried this place 3 times as it is so close to my house, everytime something is wrong with my order and it isn't cheap. I ask for toasted- I get a cold bagel, minima cream cheese, paid for lox and there's one small piece but I'm charged 12$. Also everytime the staff is rude, look absolutely miserable to be there and ignore you when you try to ask to make sure the have the right order- which they always seem to mess up. You should go to scratch baking instead read more

Hidden gem! Recently discovered this place as a lunch stop and love it! Staff is friendly and the inside is spotless. Very cute atmosphere with indoor & outdoor dining. Great selection of bagels and Boars Head deli meat. I always get pastrami with mustard and Swiss on a sesame bagel heated up...delicious! Highly recommend read more

Service is bad, employees are rude. Bagels are actually pretty good, but to me it's not worth it!

Very good bagels and service make sure you get there early for the best selection. Jalapeno and cheddar are especially good.
