Randomly discovered this place, cute and has seating! The service was quick and the bagels are good! Had an everything bagel with a veggie spread. The spread was super creamy and delicious, not heavy at all. read more

Update from last few visits, now that they've recently extended their operating hours (previously weekday only) to include Saturdays starting at 8. In short, the best bagels and cream cheeses in the greater Boston area. My Lox Sandwiches (had 3 times): Dill salmon twice, pastrami salmon once, with charred scallion cream cheese, tomato, onion, cukes, and capers in a pumpernickel everything bagel twice, pretzel bagel once. All of the flavors melded perfectly, and the bagel itself was still the leading component, as it should be. A well-constructed sandwich with no skimping anywhere. Elite. My wife's Baked Egg Sandwich: A "build your own" with avocado, lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce in an everything bagel. Her assessment: "Very good. I love it." My Egg Sandwiches (had twice): An Egg-on-Egg option, with the fluffy baked egg nestled nicely between two nearly-as-fluffy egg bagel halves. Sausage and hot sauce added nicely. Tried on another visit with bacon and again nice, but I came to the realization that a bagel-- anyone's, not just Rebelle's-- doesn't scratch that bagel itch unless it has cream cheese. Bagels and Cream Cheese to Go: I cannot stress strongly enough how superior these are to any competition in the Boston area. The bagels retain texture and intense flavor even for days after taking home. Ditto the cream cheeses. And I'm particularly partial to the charred scallion, which adds an irresistible flavor way beyond scallion, thanks to that char. It's indescribable, but the closest comparison is the intensity of a good sour cream and onion dip, and with a similar beige color. Pop Tarts, Cookies, Muffins: These haven't been as impressive as the bagels, cream cheese, and bagel sandwiches. Not bad, but I'd skip these and hit PRB Boulangerie down the street if you want a sweet add-on. Still doesn't put the 5 stars in jeopardy. Service: Always great. The rewards program is one of the best in the business. Seating: Enough table space for 14 people, plus stools and counter space for a few more. Not too many bagel joints have ANY seating, so this is much appreciated. read more

We came in around noon, and that late in the day, most of the bagel options were gone. I ended up ordering the nova lox sandwich on a cinnamon raisin bagel with charred scallion spread. My bagel sandwich was quite tasty and the combination wasn't bad, though next time I might switch out the bagel with pumpernickel (similar to rye) if my first choice isn't available. The charred scallion spread went pretty nicely with the rest of the bagel sandwich as well. I devoured the whole thing pretty quickly, so no complaints! The store has some indoor seating and a clean, single-stall bathroom. Service was quick, and it seems to be a Latina-owned store (based on the languages being spoken by staff and music being played), which is interesting! read more

Great bagel that was served warm! Got the pumpernickel with harissa cream cheese and it was very nice! Probably my favourite cream cheese I have had in Boston! Bagel was a bit small compared to others I've had. Had an egg bagel the next day, definitely had to be toasted! read more

Really solid bagel spot in Kendall!! It's hard to find good bagels in Boston, so this place definitely hit the spot. I got the lox bagel with the pastrami salmon and the spicy veggie cream cheese on an everything. My boyfriend got the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything. Both were delicious! The bagels were well-seasoned, crispy on the outside, and fluffy and moist on the inside. We loved the texture. My BF said this was probably the best bagel sandwich he's had in Boston (he lived in NYC prior). I think if I went again, I might not go for the full lox sandwich because it felt a little slim on the salmon, given all the other toppings on it. I might just go for the lox + cream cheese. Overall, cute shop, quick service, and really good quality bagels! It's a bit pricey for the size of the bagel sandwiches, but I get it. We liked going to sit in the park across the street since it was nice out. read more

My experience here was, overall, satisfying but also not anything that blew me away. Starting with the service, it was fast and simple to order. Plus, even later in the morning they still had a variety of bagel options to choose from. Another perk, the interior design and art is funky and vibrant making for a fresh, fun vibe to start your morning. Also, there was plenty of natural light and seating options so you can really settle in and focus on your food. However, the restaurant was kept pretty cold which was a little uncomfortable and even made the food taste chilled. Speaking of the food, the bagels themselves were a decent size and had a nice crisp exterior. Unfortunately, they weren't very warm, making them seem somewhat unfresh and missing that nice soft interior. Additionally, the sandwich as a whole did feel very cohesive, it was a little dry and fell apart easily. The egg patty provided an interesting and smooth texture though and the bacon was absolutely delicious! Otherwise, it's not my favorite breakfast sandwich in the world, but it also wasn't terrible. As a whole, I'd recommend maybe trying a bagel with just cream cheese or one of their other sandwich combos, because the breakfast version just sort of missed the mark for me. Additionally, I would avoid their drinks. I got the matcha and it wasn't very high quality, from my perspective. Still worth a visit if you're in the area and really craving a bagel! It's a fun place to sit, the food is satisfying enough, and they offer a wide variety of fun bagels to choose from. read more

Rebelle Artisan Bagels - Sesame BEC with House Hot Sauce - Bagels Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

This place is very pricey and they oddly push tips even if you just get a bag of bagels to go. I'm a big supporter of tips but if you're throwing three expensive bagels in a bag and handing it to me, I'm not giving a 20 percent tip. They also refuse to buy a toaster. The bagels are great but recommend bringing them home to eat versus eating an untoasted bagel. read more

My partner and I got the smoked whitefish sandwich (on egg everything bagel) and lox sandwich (w pastrami-cured lox and beet, dill & horseradish cream cheese on cheddar jalapeño bagel) - TASTE: 5/5 - very satisfying, even compared to our fave bagel spot! Highlights included the savory whitefish salad, pastrami-cured lox, red onions, and the beet, dill & horseradish cream cheese TEXTURE: 4/5 - great balance of creamy fillings, fresh tomatoes and lettuce, and crunchy bagels PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $27, w these bagel sandwiches a couple dollars less than our other spot SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - just right for lunch SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 12:15pm on a Friday and only two other folks were ahead of us in line. Staff was friendly, and our order was ready in 5min ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - super bright and fun space w colorful murals, spacious bathroom, compost bins, and a good vibes playlist. Glad we stopped by PARKING: 4/5 - got a free street spot right on Third St read more

Stopped by on our trip to Cambridge/ Boston to enjoy the day. Solid egg sandwhich! Only weird they do not have decaf coffee read more

Great bagels! Best in Cambridge. Hands down But... unfortunately the coffee is both bad and over priced... and the spreads on the bagel are light. For $30 it's not worth the price. Lots of potential, right now it's just too pricey for what they provide. Sad but potential read more

Controversial? Yes. Hella delicious bagels? Also yes. I came here from an Orange theory class craving something with carbs and protein. There was a line outside this store on a Saturday mid morning, so I knew that I had to do it. When I walked in, I immediately noticed the interesting decorations yet eclectic ambience. How was immediately hit by the yummy smell of freshly baked bagels. I promptly ordered the club bagel, which entails turkey and bacon on and everything bagel. Although they don't toast bagels, they are served warm and fresh. My first bite was amazing. The outside was crisp and firm, but the inside it was soft and chewy. What an amazing sandwich! read more

Rebelle Artisan Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Fun little neighborhood bagel spot in Cambridge. With lots of great specialty bagel flavors like Pumpernickel-Everything, Rye, Beet, & Garlic Rosemary. What makes Rebelle special is they make lots of their ingredients in-house, such as their spreads, mayo, and hot sauce. I highly suggest the hot sauce! One item that got lots of hype on social media was their Pop Tart. It was far too buttery and crumbly for my liking, but others around us seemed to be enjoying theirs. Overall, we will be coming back as this is a great spot to order a breakfast sandwich. Beware that it is a small space and can get packed on weekends. read more

Kind of surprised by the negative reviews - I've been here a few times and while it's not my favorite bagel place in the world, I've never been disappointed. The staff is friendly, service is prompt, bagels are warm and fluffy. The prices are a little steep but not too outrageous by Cambridge standards. I've tried a few different flavors - everything, pumpernickel everything, egg, and pretzel - and my favorite was the regular everything. Very generously seasoned, fluffy on the inside, chewy on the outside. Cream cheese is good too. The charred scallion is my favorite. The amount of cream cheese doesn't seem to be standardized but it's never been too skimpy for me. There's not a lot of seating - a few tables and and window seating - but I've never had trouble getting a table on a weekday morning. Most people take their orders to go. If you sign up for text alerts, you get discounts that make the prices more reasonable. I will keep coming anytime a coupon pops up. read more

Rebelle Artisan Bagels - Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I want so badly to love this place, I really do-- it's so close to my house and my job... but I just haven't been blown away. Bagel and Lox sandwich: over toasted but more importantly MAJOR skimping on the lox, as you can see, this sandwiches is mostly cucumber. I feel like they could be good if they just made a few changes but they really need to not skimp on the sandwiches, especially when the bagels themselves are just okay read more

My breakfast sandwich was cold and gross. The bagel was pretty good, but they do not toast them. The sausage meat and egg was so fake and gross. read more

Very flavorful bagels -- especially liked the pumpernickel one; the sesame was not quite toasty enough. Could use a little more chew in the bagel to be perfect, but definitely the best I've had in the Boston area read more

Avoid this place! My friend and I paid over $6 per bagel and there was a sharp piece of plastic in my sandwich that I could have swallowed if I didn't notice it as I took my bite. Scary! read more

As a bagel snob by heritage, I have long maintained that the acceptable bagel options in Boston are few and far between - for years making the trek out to Brookline or even the suburbs when needed. I have been thrilled to discover Rebelle in Kendall Square, just a few blocks off the red line, as an answer to my bagel needs. They have an excellent selection of bagels, including all of the classics as well as more interesting and fun options like pumpernickel-everything, beet and pretzel bagels. They have lots of great spreads, sandwich options, and pastries, as well. The breakfast sandwiches are excellent and the smoked fish spreads are quite good, too. The homemade pop-tart was another highlight - flaky, buttery and just the right amount of sweet. Highly recommend! read more

Got a sesame bagel here on the morning and it was really good. It was nice and chewy and had a pretty good crust. It reminded me of a chewy pretzel, especially the outside. One of the better bagels I've had in the area. Server was friendly. Didn't stay to eat there but it looked nice and clean and bright. read more

The everything bagel was nice and salty and the cream cheese was amazing. Also we sat outside on a nice sunny day, perfect little bagel place. read more

Rebelle is a stand out in Boston's bagel landscape. The foundation is their excellent bagel made the traditional way that strikes the right balance of chewy denseness without being dry and tough. What sets them apart is their ability to depart from traditional flavors without crossing the line into silly or pretentious. Pumpernickel everything bagel? Yes please. Spicy harissa cream cheese? Bring it on. Combine that with house-made spreads and fillings like the pastrami lox and Atomic coffee and you have a perfect breakfast. read more

Soooo glad to have another bagel place in Cambridge! The bagels were great quality--soft on the inside, with a good crust on the outside. Only complaint was that the bagels were on the smaller side. Love all the creative cream cheese flavors they had--the beet, dill, horseradish cream cheese had such good flavor (with an extra little kick from the horseradish). I haven't tried them yet, but they also have a variety of dips, pastries, and I think they cure their salmon in-house (!!!). The interior is super cute and well designed, in love with the branding for this place. I believe they have just started making full bagel sandwiches, but I haven't had the chance to try. Will be coming again to try more bagels and sandwiches! read more

Finally got the chance to try this place out. Drove all the way from Marlborough to Cambridge. And it was so worth the 70 minutes drive. The Bagels that they serve are so soft. They don't make you feel like your jaw is gonna fall off from chewing them. The people who work here are really nice. I told them it was my first time, and they walked me through the whole menu. Surely gonna keep looking for excuses to come back to this place. read more

For a ridiculously priced $9 bagel egg N cheese there better be diamonds in there instead of burnt bagel. The bagel egg N cheese was def not worth $9 and it was smaller than Dunkin donuts size probably smallest i have seen till today . There was nothing Artisan about it other than that it was burnt. I am not sure how people can literally pay this prices for the portion that they had . Luckily i just wanted to try it out since i pass by it everyday but now i know i wont be stopping there anymore. read more

We had bagels delivered to work today and I was impressed with the everything bagel, lots of spice including salt and generous on both sides of the bagel. The toppings were also impressive, beet, dill and horseradish-I'm in! I didn't toast the bagel, it was dense and chewy so toasting would have added a crunch to it. It also wasn't so large that I couldn't finish it. read more

I'm usually really picky about egg salad but the deviled egg salad is really good and even better as a sandwich. The egg salad is really savory and rich and balanced well by the dill, chives, celery seed, and cucumber slices. Also the staff was really nice! read more

Their plain bagel was dry and pithy. It was very underwhelming in taste and texture. I'm not sure if it was even fresh or from the day before... read more

Great flavors for bagels and spreads. Bagels have great texture as well. The service was great as well. I tried the lox sandwich with harissa cream cheese and really enjoyed it. Definitely will come back! read more

Went to Rebelle today for the first time in Cambridge (loved the Providence spot) and it was fantastic. We got the lox sandwich which was chockerblock full of salmon, cucumber, tomato, capers and salmon -- all on a sesame bagel that seemed to have a double coating of sesame seeds! We also got an everything bagel with chive cream cheese and pumpernickel with spicy veggie cream cheese. All were spectacular. The staff is super friendly and spot is bright and welcoming. Can't wait to go back! read more

I had hoped that some of the kinks from the Pawtucket location would have been dealt with, like the extremely hard texture of the bagels and inconsistent filling portions, but they were not. read more

Despite the fact that I ordered an onion bagel and got a sesame one this Truffle cream cheese is da bomb! Flavors are well balanced- not overwhelming- really well done folks! I will be back many times for this. read more

Food was super fresh and tasty. Bagels were fresh with great size and consistency. I ordered a sandwich but the assembly was a bit of a mess. The tomatoes were on the bread and cucumbers instead of the cream cheese. The cream cheese was just plopped in the center, so it squished right out of the bagel hole. This made everything soggy and slimy. Everything just kept sliding off the sandwich and making a big mess. Rookie sandwich making mistake. I'll definitely try it again as long as they just keep practicing! read more

Nice staff, great ambiance, delicious bagels (try the mexican street corn spread)! Loved Rebelle in Providence and it's just as good in Cambridge. read more
