    A great place to fulfill your bagel needs! I got the chicken egg and cheese on everything bagel. The chicken was crispy and little tangy with the delicious cheese. The bagels were made in house and very fresh. I love how the store was decorated with the banner. The staff were very friendly and chatting with the customers. There was a long line when I went but it did go by fast. They have a parking lot. Love to come by again.

    I stumbled onto Spot a few hours ago, turning down a side street in Norwood Center. What a find: Delicious bagels, carefully crafted custom coffees (seen, not consumed), ample seating and parking, and very friendly staff. They're understaffed right now asking for patience from patrons (per a sign.) Regardless, this food is well worth the wait. The dining (and shopping) space is large and comfortable; restrooms in the rear of this space. I could tell most people were "regulars" based on the banter at the counter. Highly Recommended!

    First visit to SPoT! in Norwood MA. Parking: A breeze in a huge free lot. Bagels: Very good (crust, density, flavor). I liked the "eggrything" bagel. Sandwich construction: Decent. My wife liked her egg sandwich on everything. Coffee: Meh. Value: Very very good (classic lox bagel sandwich $7.99 and bagels to go $1 each). Ordering and line management: Not good. The bottleneck was a single cashier handling orders and payments for the prepared bagel line, payments for the bulk bagel line (alternating while the other line waited), and coordinating pickups of prepared items. Raising individual bagels to $1.50 instead of $1 would more than pay for an extra counter person, most people would gladly take that tradeoff, and they'd make more money with happier customers. Seating: A few communal tables, both standard and high-top. A few counters against the windows and walls with stools. Lots of replica vintage soda signage to go with their bottled soda business. Since most of the soda shelves were very sparsely stocked, I'm wondering if cutting that in half with the same stock and adding more tables might be a better use of the space. Food and value were enough to withstand the systemic issues and unnecessary wait. We purchased bagels for later in the week (so far, so good) and we'll definitely be back.

    I love freshly made bagels. Make sure you get here at 2:58 PM in the afternoon, to grab some bagels that will ring up $1.5 for 3 bagels at 3 PM. Not all flavors are available at 3 PM. If you come even later in the afternoon, their bagels will sell out. If you are here for a bagel sandwich, be prepared to wait (30+ minutes), especially on the weekends. I came here once for a bagel sandwich, sadly the long wait wasn't worth it. I'd rather buy bagels and then make bagel sandwich myself at home. Tax free if you buy 6 bagels ($3 at 3 PM) or more.

    Delicious bagel, sausage egg and cheese. Fresh squeezed OJ and the price was very reasonable

    I don't know why I haven't written a review for this place yet. I've been going here for years! So much so, the cash register lady recognizes me AND my friends and family. Ha. The bagels are always fresh, the quality is fantastic, and the price is unbeatable. I've waited up to 45 minutes for their breakfast sandwiches and I will continue to wait that long for them. My favorite is the egg, cheese, and hot sausage on a garlic/sesame/everything/onion bagel. The bagels that aren't sold by EOD (which is very little by the way) is bagged and frozen - and sold slightly cheaper. Still, a bargain! They also make their own cream cheese - highly recommend the veggie and scallion ones! Iced coffee is good too! If you like something in your coffee normally, just ask - they don't have a coffee menu but have a ton of different syrups! They also have great nostalgic drinks, candies, and soda pop for purchase too! Service is friendly and always helpful but a bit slow sometimes given there are only a few of them working so I totally get it. Place is clean and welcoming. Very nostalgic the way its set up, it's a vibe! Highly recommend!

    Looks were deceiving .... unfortunately.

    I had high hopes when I saw the bagels. Nice and big ... but not too big like a life preserver. The coatings, like sesame or poppy seeds, covered every square centimeter. They toasted nicely and slathered with some homemade scallion cream cheese looked delicious. And that's where the dream ended. The bagel was dense and doughy. There were no air pockets. Nothing to give the bagel the light, airy crunchyness that pairs so well with a great cream cheese. Instead of a properly made Jewish bagel, it was more an Irish soda bread masquerading as a bagel. Nice try, but when there's an authentic Jewish bagel place a town away, trying isn't good enough.

    The Spot is my favorite bagel shop of all time. Ever since my brother took me to the old location I have been a fan. Their bagels are big, priced very affordably, and are delicious. The staff are so nice and helpful, I see the same people working every time I go and the cashier always makes small talk with me. I always feel welcome in this store! Another thing that makes this place unique is the decor and the hundreds of vintage sodas available for purchase before you get to the counter. I love looking at all the flavors and picking a new drink to go with my bagel. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so don't make the same mistake as me and plan on going one of those days. My favorites include the nova lox classic sandwich on an egg bagel. Hands down the most perfect lox bagel ever. Just look at the photos to see for yourself. The Beast is also a great pick. Egg, cheese, bacon, and chorizo sausage on a cinnamon sugar bagel with syrup. Its the perfect combination of sweet and savory that satisfies your cravings. Yum. When we went last, we got so many things including a few bagels for later. It came out to around $27, which to me was a great price for 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks and 2 bagels. TL;DR: the lox sandwich options are all great, try the beast if you want to pig out. All the bagels are wonderful and will have you coming back. Great customer service.

    See all

    Bagels are good, but waiting for one will take up your whole morning. The line took me 30 minutes and waiting for two bagels took me 45.
