Today was my first experience at this location and it may be my last. I have been to the southington location and it has always been a pleasure, so I assumed that this location would meet the same standards. There was a blonde lady working constantly complaining about her job and other workers in the store. I understand that food service is not an easy job but it was disrupting the restaurant environment. I made me uncomfortable because I think she may have been drunk on the job. she was constantly talking about drinking mentioning to other people I believe were customers or friends. Regardless, I don't think my daughters will be coming inside with me anymore if the workers are going to be intoxicated. read more

bagel with veggie cream cheese on the side, I requested a knife to spread the cream cheese, unfortunately already on the road to notice no knife! however the bagel was chewy in the inside and fresh and tasted fresh even without it being toasted. I definitely recommend this bagel shop! read more

I have enjoyed Fancy Bagels for many years. Most recently I have been stopping by on the occasional Wednesday to pickup for my work tradition of Bagel Wednesday. Service is always speedy. It is your trust bagel shop with few tables and chairs and the beautiful wafting smell of bacon on the griddle. They always have a good playlist going and the bagels are very good. A lot of flavor options with many cream cheeses. Sandwhiches, wraps etc, they have it all. I find the value to be pretty fair considering some prices in the area read more

I love that I can get breakfast wraps, not just bagels. The girls and the Farmington location are so nice and fast. My breakfast wrap was perfect with eggs, bacon, cheese, and tomatoes. Just the way I like it. Love this place. Highly recommended. read more

Love the bagels and the breakfast sandwich the stuff is friendly helpful and patient.

As a NJ native, I've personally found it hard to find good bagels in CT - but I thought Fancy Bagels was quite good. We got a classic BEC on an everything bagel, which hit the spot. Now if only we can get Taylor Ham around here. read more

ALERT FARMINGTON! This one has me fired up... I'm a regular at Fancy Bagels in Farmington. I stop in all the time, I live right here in town. But today I found out something that DOES NOT sit right with me... The boss/owner REFUSES to allow customers to leave tips on the Clover machine for the young workers hustling behind the counter. These kids are busting their tails, working long hours, smelling like bacon and coffee by the end of every shift... and they don't even get the basic respect of allowing tips digitally?! This is WRONG. These workers deserve better. We need to stand up for them. BOYCOTT FANCY BAGELS FARMINGTON until they change this policy and let customers tip these hardworking kids! Farmington - let's make our voices heard! Share this. Tag your friends. Let's force change.

The bagels here are incredible! Best breakfast sandwich you'll have for miles! The downside is the absolutely awful staff. I tell everybody that if they go to fancy bagel, to expect a wonderful breakfast and to leave with a bad taste in their mouth. Let's start at the top. When you walk in, do not expect a friendly greeting. Most of the time you can expect to wait in line with no acknowledgement until you can wave someone down. More often than not, I get a "blank stare" or an eye roll. Occasionally, a scowl. These girls are professionals at keeping their back to the register so you can't even get their attention. There have been days where it takes more than 10/15 minutes to ask if I can order. I don't mind when it comes to me, but I genuinely feel bad when I see it happen to the elderly or foreign language speakers or special needs folks. They'll just stand there forever not being helped at all. If you do get acknowledged it'll be in a monotone and annoyed manner. I should stop here to say that I have not been to fancy bagel once or twice. I've been going on and off consistently since 2020ish (it's close to a college I went to and later worked at.) Usually I go until I get fed up with something, then stop visiting for a while. The last time I went I left almost in tears. A woman was having a hard time ordering, and the clique of girls behind the counter was looking at each other with exaggerated expressions of confusion, looking back and forth to one another dumbfounded, then laughed at her!! I caught her outside as we were leaving and apologized for the rude service workers.. guess what- she was hard of hearing! When I realized they were laughing at a woman who (in her words) was going deaf, I left with an awful pit in my stomach and cried on the way to work. I wish I had said something to her while inside, so I could have at least paid for her meal or something. Anyways, it's not just the lack of service. It's the rude service. The business is busy, so I'm not saying the girls don't work hard. They're working incredibly hard! It just stinks that they treat people so horribly in there. Ignoring folks is one thing, laughing at them and making fun of them is another. I do want to say-- if you are a man between the ages of 18 and 50... you will love it in there! They know that that'll get tipped better if they flirt with men, so that is their biggest priority!!! I've heard it on more than one occassion. They go above and beyond to remember a man's name and order. Many times I have stood there, jaw on the floor, because I'm being actively ignored and not helped, but Mark or Andrew walk in and get a big 'ole warm welcome. And then I walk up to the counter and get what I can only describe as a cold dead stare. I could go on forever. These girls are just not nice. It really sucks because at one time I was going there daily. But yeah, I just can't bring myself to anymore... read more

A little out of the way location, but every Thursday morning, weather permitted, hot rods gather for bagels and coffee. So I took my hot rod down on this beautiful Thursday morning to Fancy Bagles on the Bristol Farmington line, Rt 6. My order for an everything bagel, toasted and buttered, and a medium coffee called "the commuter special" cost $4.49. Such a deal! It just seemed like everybody, including the workers and the guests were so happy in here. Quickly, my bagel arrived, toasted with just the perfect amount of butter on it. I think this bagel was toasted and buttered with love! Absolutely delicious! I had my choices of coffee at the coffee station, which Fancy Bagels offers. There were many wonderful flavor choices. I chose the hazelnut, with milk. It was a wonderful choice. This is definitely a must try, and excellent choice if you happen to be driving by on your way to work or to a destination in the morning. I would say Thursday mornings are bonus, viewing all the beautiful hot rods that are parked in the corner of the parking lot. read more

Bacon egg and cheese in an everything bagel.. so good !! And an egg, cheese , onions , peepers and pastrami burrito style , amazing !!!

As someone who visits Fancy Bagels occasionally over the years, I can say I used to love every visit there with warm welcomes and amazing bagels for breakfast. This place has changed only for the worse and the customer service is one of the worst that I've seen. When I walked into Fancy Bagels 5 minutes before closing wanting just one bagel, and I was not only gazed at with annoyed stares but was refused to be served after being laughed at for being unaware of their closing time. This wasn't the first time this has happened to me mind you this is now the second. I wasn't able to order one bagel while I watched countless couples enjoying their food around the restaurant. Additionally, there was no apology for the inconvenience all that was said was a rude "we're closed!" Followed by an eye roll as I walked out of the store, frustrated by the customer service. All in all, I would NOT recommend this place if you're looking for a nice sit-down breakfast place because regardless of the food you will not be treated pleasantly at all. read more

This place was amazing! Gave that small bagel shop feel but creates some of the most decadent and flavorful creations. I cannot lie when I say these are some of the best bagels I have ever eaten. This was my first time there and the staff was very friendly. They helped me navigate their menu, bagel flavors, and specialty cream cheeses. They suggested many flavor combinations and I'm glad they did because I would not have been able to come up with these unique choices myself. I got the Chocolate Chip Bagel with Cannoli Cream Cheese, Golden Bagel with Pistachio Cream Cheese, Sweet Cinnamon Bagel with Bacon, Egg, and Cheese, and the Blueberry French Toast Bagel with Sausage, Egg, and Cheese - the perfect mix of savory and sweet. All of them were AMAZING but my personal favorite was the Cannoli Cream Cheese - literally cannoli filling in a bagel, cannot get better than that. I already am looking forward to my next visit. read more

I've been coming to this bagel place for a long time, and it never disappoints. The girls at the shop are super friendly and always busy taking care of the customers. Bagels are crunchier on the outside and softer in the inside type. Personal favorites are the sweet cinnamon and golden. You can't go wrong with a BEC bagel with a nice cup of coffee. This place gets busy in the mornings so be ready to wait a bit. read more

I looked up places on my way to work and this was the right move!!! Soooo many bagel options and cream cheese options to choose from. I love my Asiago flavored bagels so I went with this (I'll have to try other flavors next time). The toasted texture gives it a delicious crunch and soft on the inside filled with flavorful veggie cream cheese. I took this to my office and everyone walked by me eyeing my bagel and said how delicious it looked. Will visit again! read more

Love everything about this place! Bagels are the best around, they are always fresh & large! The girls that work there are friendly & helpful especially one in particular ( guess who? She makes cannot cream cheese !) read more

Love this place! I am someone who enjoys everything bagels and these are so full and covered. I usually like to get a bagel sandwich here- and it's so filling I can only eat half! The staff are so friendly and the food is great- the prices are comparable to other places and the food quality . My only disappointment was that I had placed an order over the phone, when I went in to pick up my order I had to wait 5 minutes for someone to ask me what I needed ( they were not helping other customers). It seemed as if their conversation with one another was more important in that moment. I'm read more

This is, hands down, my favorite Connecticut bagel place!! The bagels are so fresh and delicious and the cream cheese full of flavor. My son had a plain bagel with chive cream cheese. The cream cheese was thick and plentiful. I had an everything bagel with bacon egg and cheese and it was so delicious. read more

this used to be a five star place, but after the last experience I think I'm all done. the eliminated the pick up line. this place is too busy to have to still wait in the long line to pick up the order I called in. I waited for over 20 minutes for a pick up order. and now the bagels are over $7 each. it was good while it lasted, enjoy the line. I'm done. read more

Best bagels in CT. I've been going to Fancy Bagels for over 5 years now. I've tried multiple bagels but now get the same thing every time- Sal's Special on a golden bagel (cornmeal bagel) with jalapeño cream cheese. It is delicious. The bagel is crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The lox is fresh and they give you a good amount! Most importantly, the jalapeño cream cheese is actually a little spicy! I've tried numerous bagel places but none have actually included spices with the jalapeño in a jalapeño cream cheese! Overall: 10/10 bagel. The service is great. A good amount of the staff know me by name and order. They know multiple other regulars too! Fancy Bagels has a community of regular that they service each week with their delicious bagels. The ambience is great. Simple and clean. You order and pay- and get your food. In a world full of trendy and hip breakfast spots trying to be different- Fancy Bagels dominates the CT bagel space with a classic sandwich style shop with great service and phenomenal bagels to boot. You won't be disappointed! read more

We came here a bit too late around noon and they were out of the majority of the flavors. I opted for a plain bagel and cream cheese to test out the basics. The bagel was just the right amount of soft chewiness and well toasted! My husband tried their Smokey sandwich and he enjoyed it as well. The service was simple and quick. There are also some tables to to sit down at inside, nothing too fancy. Next time we'll come earlier to try other bagel flavors! read more

Don't walk, RUN!! AWAYY!!!!! From this place at all costs. We went on Saturday morning and ordered two bagels toasted with cream cheese. There were probably 15-20 other people in the place waiting around, sitting on their phones, with no food at all. Many people walked up and complained and said they had waited around an hour for their order. There were paper signs that said "Please be patient, new system in order to help with flow of orders" OKAY that's fine but it should also say "Expect to wait 30+ minutes." I understand you only have a certain number of people cooking because it is a small place, but the girls behind the counter seemed like they were working hard but no orders were being sent out. We waited 40 minutes for our two bagels. We might as well have ordered our lunch while we were at it. read more

Okay here we go. Fancy Bagels Farmington is easily one of the best bagel shops on Connecticut. Service is attentive and phenomenal. My order was taken and started before I even reached the front of the line. I ordered an everything bagel with double egg and cheese. Only $4.00?!?! Just amazing. For the quality of the ingredients. Fancy bagels is an absolute gem. Fancy bagels is a must visit spot in Connecticut. Come on in and enjoy. You will not be disappointed!! read more

This is always our first stop when we come to CT on an early flight. Over the last few visits during this trip there is one particular NEW employee who we have witnessed being rude to many customers while waiting for our bagels. Other customers commented to each other about her while waiting as well. Today she pushed me over the edge. The place was not busy, and she was completely rude to me for absolutely no reason. This employee definitely should not be customer facing. I'll speak to Sal myself if she's still working there the next time we are in town. Let's hope they realize this pretty soon or they are going to lose customers. read more

Tasty breakfast sandwiches. Very good coffee. Fast & efficient service. I'd certainly stop back in again if I'm in the area. A solid 4 Stars. read more

Excellent variety very good Bagels! Will be back!****Very Friendly staff reasonable prices

Beagles are very good as well as their assortment of spreads. Just be prepared to wait they are. Very busy.

Bagels don't get much better. The coffee always seems to run out by the time we get there though. It's a popular spot and the people there work hard. One needs to be a coffee monitor. read more

Love all the bagels from this place, it's my go to whenever i can make it in before 2pm! Service is always nice, it does get packed in there. I would recommend this spot! read more

Rated terrible (0), if you want bad customer service go here. Was ignored for 10 minutes and when finally tried to make order was told to move to the right orders are on that side and we have a new system and a sign now. Apparently I missed that part because they let everyone else go in front of me making there orders first, and than finally took my two bagel order. Oh, and on the way out the most rude girl behind the counter thought I left and said don't let the door hit your on the way out and yelled at me as I was leaving when I turned around to tell her she was very rude, after I heard her comment. I told the other staff standing there when one of them said sorry, that they should fire her, and they all just stared at me like deer in headlights. Will NEVER GO BACK HERE AGAIN AND/NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE I KNOW. THE TWO FREE COFFEES THEY GAVE ME JUST WEREN'T WORTH IT. read more

Good food but be prepared for a long wait. Despite having six people behind the counter, the wait at this location is horrible, the food is good, but if you don't have at least a half hour to wait for your order, don't even bother. The girls behind the counter are not especially pleasant either. I never have any issues at the Southington location, but for whatever reason Farmington can't get their act together. read more

Love their bagels very fresh and delicious all the time. I've been going there for years. The only minus is there that often they don't take orders on the phone but they will pick up the phone to tell you that , I just don't get that. read more

Their bagels are great, as are their sandwiches. And their staff are hard working & friendly. They deserve 4-stars......,I just wish that they could get their ordering process better organized. 1-star. On a crowded Sunday, with people unfamiliar on how to place & pay for their order, it was utter chaos. There is terrible, hard to see signage when you walk in to direct you what to do unless you're a regular. When it's crowded, people inadvertently block the counter so it's hard to determine what to do? The people in the "know" help the people who "don't know". They claim to have been in business for over 30 years. You'd think by now they'd have an efficient, easy ordering system. It's not like they run a unique type business? I've decide to avoid the place on busy mornings. read more

The Bagel was delicious and fully covered in seasoning. I got the everything Bagel with scallion cream cheese. The Bagel was big and soft inside. The cream cheese wasn't overpowering. Also ordering through grub hub was super easy read more

Good value and fair price. Workers help you quickly and the bagels are always delicious!

Selection and food quality is great however the operation is disorganized. No signage on where to place orders and where to pay. Staff is curt while handling orders as well. read more

I had gone one more time this morning to see if my previous visit was just a busy day and the girls were overwhelmed which is understandable during this time of year but I was wrong. I was greeted with nasty attitudes which makes the environment very uncomfortable and toxic. When waiting for food to be done the girls give you nasty looks and make snarky comments. When getting ready to pay the girl at the counter was just nasty. Stay home if you don't like your job. Everyone else in this world is struggling it doesn't hurt to be nice read more

If you don't care about the cleanliness of the food establishment making your food then this place is for you. Just have a look around and I'm sure you will be disgusted. Yes, the bagels are good, but it's not worth the risk of getting sick. read more
