    Bagels here are advertised as NY Style and they are ok - A decent size, but not as big as or as chewy as or anywhere near as delicious as a NY Bagel. They do have a good variety of flavors, and gluten free bagels are also available. This location of Providence Bagel has a parking lot, a good amount of indoor seating, and a couple of tables outdoors in the summer. The indoor seating area feels pretty stark - it is fine, but doesn't have the special local flavor that I really like in a cafe. Staff is friendly and helpful, prices are good, and the coffee is good as well. Today I got a creme brule iced coffee, sweet and light, and it was very good. Iced coffee is not available in decaf. I also got an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The bagel was a little dry and could have used more cream cheese, but still ok for the price. In the past, I've gotten bagel sandwiches here - they have a great sandwich menu and that's where Providence Bagel stands out. They do have a drive thru which would be very convenient if you are picking up on the way to work or with kids in the car, and they also have an app to help make ordering easier.

    Asiago bagel with chive cream cheese
    Karla M.

    For my birthday, I received a coupon in my email for a free bagel with cream cheese, given I buy a drink. I took.it as a sign to go since I was really craving a bagel with cream cheese for weeks. I came to this location because it's a lot brighter and spacious on the inside, with the tall ceilings, decent sized parking lot, and windows all around. I showed the person at the register the coupon and after a couple attempts, it went through. My friend ordered the fiesta sandwich which is a bagel of your choice with an egg, cheddar cheese, avocado, jalapeño cream cheese, and salsa. I was close to ordering it without salsa since I thought it would be too messy and weird, but it works. I wasn't the greatest fan of the egg, but overall, I think the sandwich was good. The free bagel I choose was asiago with chive cream cheese. I was expecting for it to be stuffed with cream cheese and I would have to take some out, but it actually came with just enough which I was very happy about - I hate seeing extra stuff go to waste. We sat at a table adjacent table and ate the food there. We watched cars and people come and go.

    I went to PVD bagel for breakfast. I ordered on everything bagel with sausage. My food tasted really good. To me it was just an egg sandwich, but it had that classic breakfast sandwich taste I can't really describe, but there's just something comforting about it. The service was super good. The guy at the counter was friendly. The inside of the storm was clean, and the bagels were clearly displayed. I just wish I could get back to Providence more often.

    The bathrooms at the North Providence Bagel location are nightmarish.

    Compared to the excellent Providence location, the North Providence location is much worse. Customer service was lacking. The cashier seemed annoyed and reluctant to answer simple questions. Then they got the order wrong. I was the only customer, and four staff were working, and yet they gave the wrong bagel. The place is very dirty, particularly the bathroom, which desperately needed to be cleaned. It is hard to believe this is the same company as the Providence locale, which is friendly, clean, and excellent.

    Oh wow, how this place has fallen. What used to be the best bagel in Rhode Island is now just a place that sells bagels. Providence Bagel sells overpriced bagels that are now mini, hard as a hockey puck, and dry as a desert. They used to have big, soft, and chewy bagels but I guess those days are done. Lately they have been having issues getting my order correct. It's either missing an item or my bagel has the wrong cream cheese or isn't even toasted. I keep giving this place chance after chance but I'm done, every visit gets worse.

    Classic Lox

    I've been a fan of Providence Bagel since I started working in Providence. It is just a quick jaunt from my office to their location on Main Street. Hubby & I were doing the RI Food Fights #BestSandwichRI challenge & happened to be in North Providence so we picked up our bagels at that location. We both ordered the Classic Lox: bagel & cream cheese of your choice, fresh lox, tomato, red onion & capers. We were there in the early afternoon on a Sunday & literally snagged the last two fresh bagels in the store! Spinach - not bad, not my favorite (yeah Asiago!) but it worked for this sandwich. I usually go with the chive cream cheese but I wasn't thinking about it when I put in my order. So it was a classic & perfectly composed lox bagel. A good amount of lox, juicy tomatoes, very thinly sliced red onion & a nice briny pop of the capers. I liked that they asked if we wanted a fresh or toasted bagel. Delicious!

    It's okay but a little short staffed for the weekend and my muffin was cold. No donuts so I was a little disappointed. It is a chill spot though.

    Picked up my complimentary bagel, spread & coffee for being part of the 2021 Yelp Elite squad!

    The slowest drive thru service I've had in a while. For a bagel and cream cheese expected the wait to not be so long. Waited in line to order, waited to be checked out and then waited at the window to actually receive the bagel. The wait after I paid to receive the bagel was the longest wait. Looked in and saw only 2 girls working. Hire more people!! Not fair to them. Ordered French toast bagel and maple walnut cream cheese. My son loved it. It was just ok to me. Girl at the window was nice and she greeted right away on intercom to take the order.

    Everything bagel with cream cheese
    Diane C.

    I was craving a bagel and decided to stop into Providence bagel. I just moved here a couple of months ago and just now exploring different establishments. My first impression was how big it was inside, very clean with lots of seating. I ordered an everything bagel toasted well done with cream cheese. To my disappointment, it was not well done toasted like I asked for but nonetheless, it was still delicious.

    Egg and cheese with extra cheese
    Collette C.

    I keep wanting to like this place. Bagels, sandwiches, coffee, DRIVE THRU!! the food is never good. This is an egg and cheese with extra cheese! Not only is it absurdly disproportionate vis a vis the bagel and egg, there was virtually no cheese. Don't even get me started on the "latte" which wa just the original small coffee they tried to give me instead and when I asked for my proper order, they poured it in a larger cup, added water, charged me $7 and called it a day. I have to stop coming here!!,!

    Bagel with barely any strawberry jam
    Maeghan P.

    I've tried this place quite a few times now to see if anything would improve but this place is trash. The staff does not listen to directions and gets the orders wrong every single time. I just asked for strawberry cream cheese and received strawberry jam (Not to mention there's hardly any even on the bagel. See picture for reference), even though my other bagel clearly had strawberry cream cheese on it that was in the same order. Read the directions! And the so called gluten free options for bagels are the absolute worst. Not only are they hard as a rock but they don't toast them properly in their toaster oven. Why is it so difficult to make decent gluten free anything!? I've gone to other restaurants that actually know how to make gluten free bread that tastes 100 times better than this place ever will. Absolute garbage and I am done wasting my money here. 0/0 DO NOT RECOMMEND!

    My "C" bagel

    I agree with the most recent reviews that things have gone downhill in recent months. Came here because I learned they're the makers of my favorite spinach bagels at White Electric, and White Electric was closed at the time. This is my second visit, the first time I had gone in, they were very friendly and kind, despite messing up my order, they readily fixed it, all was well. This time, maybe a year from the last visit, I went through the drive thru, there were no cars inside, but 2 in front of me in the drive thru creeping along at a snail's pace. When I got to the speaker and started ordering, perhaps the person had difficulty hearing me, but despite providing clarifications; 2 spinach bagels, one plain...didn't have a chance to get to the onion bagel before I was met with a snap of HOW MANY BAGELS DO YOU WANT?! IS IT TWO SPINACH OR TWO PLAIN...sheesh, easy tiger, no need for the 'tude. Also once I got my anemic bagel, I came to realize it wasn't even a circle. Hopefully they rectify their customer service,

    Providence Bagel is my fifth stop on the 9th Annual #BestSandwichRI showdown. Providence Bagel has multiple locations - Providence, RI; North Providence, RI; Kingston, RI; Mansfield, MA; and Attleboro, MA. I've been to the North Main Street in Providence, RI location once before and this location is on Mineral Spring Ave in North Providence, RI. Providence Bagel is very spacious and there are many tables. There are plenty of parking spots and there's a drive thru as well. The cashier informed us that the RI Food Fights includes a choice of one of the deli sandwiches. I chose The Patriot on a poppy seed bagel and my husband chose The Ham sandwich on a wrap. After waiting about 10 minutes, a staff member came out and called my name with our order. The poppy seed bagel was fresh and The Patriot had Turkey, Pepper Jack Cheese, Avocado, & Tomato. The ham sandwich was garnished with lettuce, tomato, onion, and provolone served with a pickle spear. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and all the ingredients were crisp and natural.

I…read morewas warmly greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff was happy to explain which iced coffee options were available and what was gluten free. I ordered an egg and cheese on a gluten-free everything bagel, which was delicious. They happened to be out of dairy milk, so my choices for my iced coffee were non-dairy milk or cream. I went with cream. The coffee was good, though not my favorite of the competition so far. I loved the playful duck theme throughout the shop. It gave the space a fun personality. The café was busy during my visit, and the team was also working through a new POS system that slowed things down a bit. Even with the technical hiccups, everyone stayed friendly, patient, and helpful while troubleshooting. Overall, it was a welcoming first visit with good food, friendly service, and a unique atmosphere. I'd definitely stop back to try more of the menu.

Loved the atmosphere and the place was spotless. One of the waitresses seated us asked us if we'd like a drink and pickles with coleslaw. We said yes pickles were great. Coleslaw was very vinegary. Was not a fan of that. We both ordered half a pound of pastrami sandwiches with Swiss cheese and mustard. The pastrami was very lean and sliced very thin and that was good. But I found the pastrami lacking in flavor. I think I was expecting pastrami like they sell at Katz's deli or the old now closed Carnegie's in New York. Would come back to try other things.

They have a few breakfast items available, but I don't understand why they stop serving breakfast at 11, even on weekends. Sandwiches come with nothing, no chips fries or even bagel chips. Servers are nice, place is clean and bright. We have tried them many times especially when they were new. Not sure we'll rush back!
