Amazing breakfast bagels! The bagels are made in house they serve breakfast and lunch bagels. We ordered the sausage egg and cheese bagels. They were so good!! We waited about 20ish minutes in line and it was so worth it! The food is great quality. The store is small and seems to have a grab and go vibe. There are a few tables but people weren't really using them. I didn't see a bathroom but there are stores nearby. I would 100% go back. read more

Well, first off, when I entered SPoT! I went into the store & stood behind a very disorganized group of middle schoolers who were blocking the counter. They weren't ordering anything, but they didn't appear to be waiting either. Then I went across the store to the end of the counter with a sign that said, "Order Here". After waiting over five (5) minutes at the "Order Here" spot where the owner/cook was preparing food at the grill and scowling at me the whole time without saying a word, the woman behind the counter mumbled something about the line being behind the group of middle schoolers who were still at the other end of the counter. At this point, there were two more couples in line behind the kids. Both having come in after me. At this point, I pretty much said screw it. There is no need for the owner to be pissy if he is busy. And the woman behind the counter saw us when we entered and watched us as we went to the end of the counter opposite the kids to place our order. It then took her over five minutes to "greet" us, let alone tell us that the line to order was in another spot. I'm sorry, but no restaurant is so good that a total lack of customer awareness or service is acceptable. The kicker is that I placed a review on their FaceBook page & they deleted it. Almost immediately! Keeping their score at a hearty 4.6. A total lack of customer awareness. Piss poor customer service. And blocking all negative reviews. The new business model for the 21st Century! read more

Bagels by Perry is like Bagels by The Bear, meant in the best possible way cause I love that show. Everything is delicious, and the place is a total vibe. Yeah it's a long line, confusing in some ways, and featured mysteriously unlisted delicious looking coffee drinks, but I just thought that was to make it more New York style, LOL. Definitely will be back. read more

On my first attempt at trying Spot many months ago, I gave up. Reason: the line was just too long. I like the look of the place, and I used to go to the old Spot for lunch, so I know the food. Is it as good as everyone says it is? Sorry, but I don't notice that bagels are exceptional...they were ok. Well, on my recent second attempt, the line looked shorter, so I gave it another try. I waited 15 minutes to get to the register to place my order. I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and a large decaf coffee. I was told "we don't carry decaf coffee". WHAT? what kind of bagel/sandwich/coffee shop doesn't carry decaf coffee? Answer: an overrated one, like SPOT. After enduring a 15 minute wait, watching the scowling and unfriendly owner/cook at his job, and the extremely inefficient register area slowly move the line, I decided that SPOT Isn't the spot for me...I cancelled the order, and left. If you require decaf as I do, just move on to perhaps the Town Sq Diner. Or even McDonalds. I won't be back... read more

The bagels are delicious so fresh and so is the cream cheese. The bagel sandwiches are bomb. The coffee drinks are wicked good as well. The only down side is the line can be so long and it's moves slowly so the wait can take forever. read more

Foods are ok but very rude service specially the lady at the cashier. I won't recommend.

Great bagels and sandwiches!! I love spot! Extremely reasonable on pricing. Frozen day old bagels 1/2 dozen for $2.50?? Crazy good!

Operational nightmare. Such an inefficient ordering and fulfillment process, avoid unless you don't mind waiting at least an hour. In the end, the bagel sandwich was just o.k., and the coffee was TERRIBLE. read more

Food and customer service, friendliness, were outstanding. But... I waited nearly an hour for breakfast sandwiches, which is hard to justify, unless you're looking for time to kill. read more

Came here with friends on a visit to Mass. Bagels were really fantastic. They have so many fun iced coffees and they really have every flavor and can make several variations. The two people in front of us got birthday cake and cookies and cream. I prefer non dairy options and they had a lot of those as well! I got a plain vanilla with almond milk and it was even better than Starbucks! The only con is the line is VERY long and the food takes a while to come out. After waiting 30 minutes for 3 bagels (two toasted with butter + one with egg) We were told they prioritize only plain bagels without eggs first. I do completely understand that they are extremely short staffed and doing their best but just be sure to allow some time if choosing to go there! read more

Stopped in here after my motorcycle class got canceled due to inclement weather, and glad I did. I had heard of the joint about a year or so prior after delivering for work in the general area. Located off of route 1, this place is a soda drinkers dream store. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of sodas in stock, as someone who splurges on a bottled beverage quite often. Service was a bit slow but I didn't mind, it's hard finding help these days since everyone thinks they're worth 10$ more than their basic skill set. Ordered a "Jersey Shore" which was a classic bacon egg and cheese with salt pepper and ketchup on a poppyseed bagel with some kind of smoked ham. Very delicious. Premium ingredients. Worth the wait. Also ordered a "California Lox" on poppyseed to go for later in the day which was also delicious. Smoked salmon cream cheese red onion and avocado. Very fresh. They have fresh squeezed orange juice bottled along with house made cream cheese tubs to go with your bagels. One thing I really like about the place is the New York vibe on the interior of the building. Very industrial market type feel inside with dining areas wrapped around a jungle of fancy sodas, hot sauces, candy and of course bagels. If I lived more local this would be my favorite bagel shop, but I'm spoiled with a few greats around the North Shore area... pleasant staff, they really like connecting with the community and even if they're mobbed they'll still provide you that experience in a world where everyone's rushing and wants their stuff now. Kudos for the great attitudes. Hope to return soon! read more

SPoT! - Bagels Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

If you want a bagel and cream cheese to go this is your place. Bagels are fresh and cream cheese selection is good as well. But if you want any sandwich you will be waiting and waiting. Multiple lines for just take out bagels and orders would be helpful. Order ahead would be even better for both bagels to go and all sandwiches. Seems they need some additional staff. read more

Oh baby baby bagels. My stars, these things will be the carb-loaded death of me. Case in point, at 10a on a Friday, the built-in queue to paradise is full as it is pretty much every other minute they're open. It's my virgin voyage and three things become crystal clear: 1) The bagels are the star of this convenience store's breakfast and lunch biz. 2) There's really nothing else convenient about SPoT! Shelves and coolers serve as line maintainers, and they're stocked with craft or vintage sodas, candy and... hot sauce? Also, parking is abysmal. "Take a Lyft," he suggests semi-seriously. 3) A folded egg sandwich ($3.50 for egg and cheese on your choice of bagel) is exactly what you'd think. Only it's more like three eggs whipped in to that fold. The sandwich, it doth overflow. So I wait and I get my $1 any size coffee and my sandwich and a half dozen for the road and I'm in love at first bite. So much so that the burnt coffee won't pull this down because these bagels are the real deal. No need to toast, rither. Act like you've been here before. read more

The bagels here are great, but there is more to business than a good product. Trying to get in and out of this place with what you came in for is absolute chaos. It's one thing to be busy and be slow because of it. It is another to have a terrible systems put in place to what should be a simple experience. This place has made zero effort to make it clear to new comers where to order what or how they expect you to navigate the insanity that it is even when slightly busy. They don't have enough staff at peak hours, they don't label the frozen bagels so that you know what is what, and if you want a bagel sandwich well have fun waiting 45 minutes while the 2 guys making them show zero effort to move a little faster. Like with how much business you do, how hard would it be to add a label to frozen bagels or just write on them with a sharpie? Or how costly would it be to get an extra person to run the register on weekends or the busiest mornings? And when I dared to offer a minor complaint about possibly labeling the frozen bagels because the raisin look like the chocolate chip which look like the cinnamon sugar, I was told to reach out to the manager who is never in store. Well I'm not sure how I can do that, because literally the only ones there are the woman who is only friendly to the regulars and the guy that only makes coffees but can't ever jump on a register to ring someone up. Also, it's cool how they have a massive section of store dedicated to novelty drinks that no one buys instead of adding a few more seats or tables. Good thinking! read more

The bagels are the best. Actually the very best. My negative is you can get old & grey waiting in line from the time you get your bagel and you get to cash register. read more

Used to love love love spot back in my high school days. My friend had a hankering for a good bagel, so we drove from East Boston to Norwood to get a spot bagel. What a disappointing waste of time since not a single employee behind the counter had their mask on properly (only over their mouth, not nose). Someone even called out the register lady out for it, she pulled it up until they left and then pulled it back down. In addition to the poor mask wearing, they also had everyone handling everything AND food, no hand washing or glove usage between taking payments and preparing food. Paid for our food but didn't eat it, yet another waste. Hard to support small businesses like this when they're not keeping anyone's safety in mind. I'll miss you spot, but based on others' reviews this wasn't a one day slip up. read more

SPoT! - Veggie egg sandwich I didn't eat since NONE of the employees could wear their masks correctly. Sad waste. - Bagels Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Bagels are delicious. Worth waiting in line for. The breakfast sandwiches were really good. Reasonably priced.

We were in town for hockey and stopped by on Friday...really pleasant service, friendly and efficient. Bagels were good, the cream cheese was excellent and the egg in the bagels was a meal. We just had breakfast but the deserts looked great as well and they have a huge variety of sodas including Boylan and Maine Root plus a huge cooler of other drinks. We came back the next two days and breakfast was excellent each day as was the service. Just a nice group of folks serving some good food, go check them out! read more

I loved my breakfast sandwich but my friend's was a little lack luster for the crazy long wait. Unfortunately there never seems to not be a wait and there's no way to order ahead that we were aware of. I'm all for good food but when getting it takes more effort and time than it should I'd rather go elsewhere read more

Bagels are indeed great, the thing is you can only get them if you are willing to wait a very long time in line or go during the week at 7am and hope its not busy. If you want the best bagels you can get in MA, this is your place, however there is always a line. Now some would think, that this is normal for a place that has the best bagels, however, a big part of this is because they only have 2 employees. One who does all the cooking and frying and one who prepares the coffees, takes the orders and is the cashier. Now what happens is, the one takes 3 orders that include coffee, she will stop taking orders to make the coffees and put the orders into bags, the line just sits. Another employee to make the coffees and put all the ready food into bags would cut the wait by 30 minutes to an hour. So, if they hired another employee to cut down on the wait, I would say this is a 5 star place. Great food and great people. However, the wait for the food makes the rating much lower. Also just found out the cook is Greek which explains the great food there ;) P.s: I brought those bagels to family in N.Y. and they said they were really good even thought they knew they were from Boston and while they were a day old, which means that were probably even better than N.Y. bagels and New Yorkers can only say they are good.. And these were a day old. read more

It's a Norwood institution. These bagels are the best you'll find in all of New England. Quality and consistency are amazing. I worked in a bagel bakery for 4 years and can appreciate the skill that goes into their work here. For bagels, it's quick in-and-out. For sandwiches (which are always delicious), you may find yourself waiting 15-20 mins when they're busy. This place has a huge assortment of bottled root beers and sodas, as well as frozen slushies, candy, and homemade Whoopie Pies. Bagels here are better AND cheaper than competitors and supermarkets.... And discounted further after 3pm. It's all good. read more

Wow what a fantastic local bagel place in Norwood Food is outstanding fresh bagels made here I had eggs and cheese with Avocados Big portions it's full and very satisfying Plenty space to sit and enjoy your meal Great coffee also Keep going Thank you for being part of my community read more

Not great!!! Waited 12 years for my bagel sandwich and it was not even crowded. I received it and it was not great. Flavor lacking and just whatever. It's a cute environment but the bagel sandwiches and the service are not anything to write home about. read more

Got there and the bagels were rolling out. Nice and hot. And then a tub of cream cheese. I had a salt and pepper which was so good! The office loved them! read more

Terrible service. An hour wait for a toasted bagel and cream cheese?? Never again. Complained to the woman taking orders and she was rude. I'm in shock how bad of an experience it was. read more

100% the best bagel in MA. Do yourself a favor and get to SPoT sooner rather than later. They are moving locations across the street in 2021 which should help the line which could be the only put off of this gem. Trust me the wait is well worth it. Everything from bagels to breakfast sandwiches to whoopie pies to the largest drink selection you have ever seen.... it's all 5 Stars. read more

I went to this place once when it was in the previous location. I had to wait like an hour for 4 bagels with cream cheese. I saw people coming in and out who arrived later than me but I did not care to complain or ask what was happening. I just went to their new location and the same thing happen only this time it was an hour and a half. So I complained to the ladies in the register and they mocked me, one told the other "he is annoyed he has to do wait" and laughed at me. I am never coming back. I asked some people who were eating their bagels in the parking lot how did they get them so fast? And they said they never ask for bagels "assembled" they always just pick their own bagels and put the toppings themselves. Bagels are good, but the fact they laughed at my face it is just not acceptable to me read more

Amazing. I'm constantly on the hunt for the best bagels and bagel sandwiches and my search is likely over. This place is incredible! The bagels are amazing. Made to order sandwiches, great service. This kind of quality does take some time so be patient. This isn't a high volume, crank it out quick kind of place. Trust me it's worth waiting a little longer for this kind of quality! read more

Let's be clear, the bagels are 5 star. Number two best bagel in Boston just behind Katz's in Chelsea. Perfectly chewy outside and soft inside. However, they need more seating. There are a bunch of shelves that are barely filled with inventory. Instead of that wasted space they should put more seating. Additionally, they need to complete the implementation of kiosk ordering because they need faster ordering. read more

I challenge anyone in Massachusetts to find a better bagel. SPoT's fresh, house-made bagels are to die for. They're on par with some of the best from New York or Montreal. They're big, satisfying and best of all, under a buck a piece. Can't beat it. The couple of runs this place might not always be the fastest at mowing through their long lines of customers, but if you hit just right or are patient you'll be rewarded with one helluvah breakfast. Even their iced coffee is a steal at $1 a piece, no matter the size. I'm particularly fond of having them do the mocha version, iced. Not there for bagels? No worries, they have plenty of other things to offer, giving you even more reasons to visit. Want freshly scooped Italian ice? Candy? Soda? Hot sauce? They have a ton of other things packed in this tiny but mighty shop. And while the wait on weekends can often exceed 30 minutes of standing, it's definitely worth it. But get there early because they often run out of various bagel flavors. SpoT is located inside of a tiny strip mall and there's a decent amount of complimentary parking which is another plus. read more

We live around the corner. What a gem in Norwood center. Bagels are amazing as are the cream cheeses. Chive, bacon chive and veggie and plain. Love their ice coffee as well. read more

Great food. Service can be super slow during peak times. Definitely plan on being there for awhile to get a bagel sandwich and coffee. Only 1 person checking people out. Could be better if they have the ordering from the grill line and then coffee and bagels to go line with another person checking out. Self serve coffee would be cool. You end up waiting in line to order for at least 15 mins and then another 20 to 40 sometimes for the actual food order. During busy times, you can order and then the 5 people behind you get theirs before you. They have improved from the time when they were across the street, but still have room for Improvement on the service. Also could save time and the environment if stopped using styrofoam containers and just used foil instead. Still using plastic straws too. read more

Drove 30 mins here to only wait 45 mins in line and for then ask to add avocado and luttuce to a sandwich and the Argentinian lady who works the register told me I couldn't customize a sandwich so I left without one. Highly don't recommend coming here! read more

Very very rude!!!! I've been in search of a bagel spot since moving to the East Coast and heard about this place from a coworker. I called to ask if they still had a decent selection left for the day since it's a 30 minute drive. The girl that answered the phone yelled that they close at 4 and hung up on me! . She would not even answer a simple question. Not sure if it was a language barrier or they were just super busy but a little costumer service goes a long way. Needless to say I will not give this small business my business! read more

Sandwiches are great, coffee as well and the vibe is very cute in the shop. The wait time is lengthy, but their bagels are good. Expect 30-40 minute wait after you order. read more

This place is so extraordinarily maddening, that I can't believe people ever go back. Waited in line for 45 minutes which is pretty unreasonable considering there weren't that many people ahead of me. When I finally get to the front, I am told that after I place my order, the weight will likely be about 45 minutes. An hour and 15 minutes for a bagel sandwich? Why do they have one single person making the sandwiches? And why does he appear to be in such a foul mood? I was able to drive to Cafe Fresh Bagel in Dedham Square an order and eat my sandwich and half the time that it would have taken to stay at Spot. There were more people in line in front of me at Cafe fresh, but they have multiple people working, and quickly and efficiently filling the orders. The service was friendly, and the bagels were unbelievably fresh and delicious. Absolutely, positively, never going back to Spot again. read more

Best bagels in Massachusetts. Someone says otherwise? Sorry, they are wrong. (Ooook, fineeee I haven't tried every bagel place in MA so I am open to change my mind BUT I'd be surprised if somewhere beats SPOT.) Seriously though, I moved from NYC to MA (I'm originally from MA) a couple of years ago and my company was based in Norwood (somewhere I had never heard up while growing up on the Northshore) and never did I think the best bagels would randomly be found in Norwood. During my years in NYC, I could find pretty amazing bagels (almost) anywhere -- not everywhere though, that's a misconception. Anyway, I came back to MA and tried a bunch of places in Boston, and the Northshore, all of which left me finally realizing what the fuss about NYC bagels was. Prior to moving there, I grew up on bagels here so I loved them (they are bagels after all) then I moved there and still liked them, but then coming back is where I realized the difference. ANYWAY, long story short: the bagels at SPOT are perfect. The bagel sandwiches are perfect. The coffee is fine, but the bagels are perfect. I've since moved from Norwood to Chelsea, and find myself missing SPOT often. In fact, we've kept our dog's vet in Norwood, since moving, for two reasons: 1. That vet is priced well and exceptional and 2. It gives us a reason to drive 40 minutes to Norwood and get bagels. If you haven't fully grasped it yet, due the overt subtleness of my message: You need to go to SPOT for bagels--even if you have to drive. *WARNING: There most likely will be a line, especially if you go at breakfast or lunch-time, try to go around 10am or after 1pm and you'll not wait long. They are a husband and wife team running the show and taking time to make sure every order is perfect: so it takes time. Almost all the negative reviews for SPOT are because of this line, not the quality of food -- so just be prepared for that if you go and you'll be happy. I'd tell you which bagel sandwiches, or bagels, are the best that you should try, but we all have our own specific bagel sandwich preferences so just get what you get elsewhere and be prepared to like it more from here. Keep up the great work SPOT team! read more
