Love the bagels here, always consistent. Great options for salads and sandwiches as well :).

I actually bumped into this place when I was volunteering at the Obama/Clinton rally in Concord during November 2012. Bagel Works was basically the only food store open that morning, and it was also the only one that was also willing enough to let people use their public bathroom. That being said though, despite the fact that there were ten thousand or so people at that rally, Bagel Works did an excellent job serving everyone up as quickly as possible with good quality. The employees were friendly and knew how to direct the lines in a more efficient setup. I grabbed a sandwich and a hot chocolate and it was prime for the chilly Concord morning. Only one bathroom, but the fact that they were the only proprietorship willing to offer public restrooms gives them major props from my part. I haven't really tried anything else in Concord, so I can't say it's the best store out there but this place sure as heck is pretty good. tldr; good place for food and caffeine read more

First things first: this is one of the few places open on Main Street on Sunday mornings. So that means it deserves a special place in all y'all's hearts. This is one of the locations of a small chain of Works Cafes across New England. The Concord spot has some of the friendliest people. They care about the service and care about getting your food and goods to you quickly. There are two things here I live and breathe for: their Super Chicken sandwich (extra napkins cause that tasty mayo is going everywhere) and their breakfast egg, cheese and spinach on a works bagel. The Works Bagel, my friends, is the best. Those mornings when I'm dragging ass and feeling awful cause of whiskey, these things have saved my life. I give it four stars only cause when I've veered away from these items, I'm always "meh" about what I paid for. Also, $1.89 for a seltzer water. I almost always pay for it anyway, but damn, just seems a tad steep. But, like I mentioned earlier, the people that work here are just the best. And they have a coffee punch card, which is also very helpful for grown children like myself. read more

The quality is good but I'm not a big fan of breakfasts that are microwaved. The coffee is decent and must say that the maple brownie was pretty good. read more

WOW! the organic smoked salmon bowl was one of the BEST things i've ever eat. If you love pesto, quinoa, avocado, hard boiled egg & smoked salmon this will also be the best thing you've eaten!! I can't wait to go back for more! The inside is a sleek rustic, and service was great! Really excited for more read more

Can't say enough about the consistency of their menu. Everything is exceptional and locally sourced. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My go to menu items were the salmon bagel, Dagwood and the works bagel with veggie cream cheese. Two avoidable menu items are the fruit and yogurt. Other than that I sincerely miss this place and with there was one in Chicago. read more

I've only been here a couple times, but both experiences have involved a totally on-point sammich, friendly service, and a quiet/relaxing place to eat it. Reasonable prices and high quality ingredients. And there are sprouts. I'm a sucker for sprouts on sandwiches. read more

Went in for the first time today, very delicious. My co worker got a BLT on a bagel which looked magnificent and I got the Dagwood sandwich on sourdough...very very good sandwich. The meat is flavorful and the tomatoes were fresh. A fine choice for lunch. They fall short of five stars due to the service. It wasn't terrible but it took quite a while to get two sandwiches, it seemed very disorganized and chaotic behind the line. The ladies working there weren't terribly hospitable either...but the amazing flavor of the sandwich saves the day. read more

The food is great. The staff is rude. If they get your order wrong, they are less than helpful.

I've been OBSESSED with The Works Super Cinnamon Bagels since I was a kid and my dad would bring us to get them fresh on Sunday mornings for breakfast! To this day they are still the absolute BEST bagels EVER! Customer service is always excellent here and the hazelnut iced coffee is so yummy!! One of my very favorite places! :) read more

Busy but efficient. Had two good cookies and ice tea. They had plenty of other food options.

This place is almost like a poor mans Panera Bread. Went to visit and the atmosphere was good. I got a Greek Salad, loved the salad, the wife got a sandwich. How do you run a bakery/cafe without a toaster oven? Microwaving soup & sandwich is not cool. Never mind microwaving eggs (which we saw) This is BAD. I would be embarrassed by working here. Salad was Fresh but bland. read more

This place rocks. Good service, good coffee, great food & a friendly atmosphere. My #1 concord hangout. Almost the bridge cafe of concord. read more

The Works Bakery Cafe - Patio dining on Main St - Bagels Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

I'm only giving this two stars because I had a sandwich here once that was pretty good. Today, unfortunately, I had the mediterranean salad, and that was awful. The only good part was the mozzarella (because how can you f-up cheese?), and the only thing with flavor were the red onions. The roasted red peppers were dry and rubbery, and the artichoke hearts were dry, bland, and chewy. And the dressing? The thickness of mayonnaise but the taste of bad olive oil with no seasoning or anything. Gross. I ate what I could off the top of the salad and pitched the rest. I ended up going to Live Juice down the street since I was still really hungry. read more

This is my favorite breakfast and lunch spot on my way to and from New Hampshire. The menu is very creative and with many healthy options. Lastly, the prices are very reasonable. read more

I recently ordered an Americo coffee and was told that I had to wait until all the food orders were fulfilled before they had the time to work on my coffee. This isn't the way to run a bakery--a place many might stop in for a coffee. read more

We came here for the second time a couple of days after Christmas and boy was this place was hopping! We ordered a turkey bacon avocado and a Dagwood on sourdough. The sandwiches were huge and delicious. Terrific value. Perfect for lunch. They also have a great 2 for 2 combo which is half a sandwich plus a cup of soup. Definitely a few steps above Panera but still totally casual. Worth the stop if you're in Concord. read more

Love this place for breakfast and lunch. My go to is the Cali Turkey wrap but it's off the menu now so I just build my own wrap and it's the same deliciousness. The bagels are to die for and the cream cheeses are too. Love the new facelift they just did and it's my Main Street go to stop considering I work across the street! Staff is usually very friendly and accommodating! read more

Panara-like place for bagels, sandwiches, and salad. I got a BLT and it was about average. The bread was by far the best part, which I suppose I should have predicted. This is a good place to go if you're in downtown Concord already and is a nice local alternative to national chains. read more

We stopped here for breakfast/lunch after a busy morning of running and checking out of our hotel. The atmosphere is very young and trendy. All of the food is local and we had a hard time deciding what to get. After a lot of thought i got the bacon avacado bowl but subbed out sausage for the bacon. My only complaint was there might have been a little too much quinoa. Other than that it was awesome! My wife got the sunrise burrito with the sweet potatoe wrap. I tasted this and thought it had some awesome flavor. We split an avacado banana smoothie(one of many choices) it was really good as well. Everything tasted fresh. We would definitely go back! read more

I get lunch here all the time when I'm in Concord. Good place for vegetarians and not too expensive. Love their egg bagel sandwiches!

just a quick blurb... I'd say a perfect breakfast in Concord would include an iced coffee and a salmon (lox), capers, tomato, onions, on a tomato bagel with cream cheese. Sooo Good! (my wife does the egg, cheese, and bacon on cinnamon raisin) - Bagels made in house! you can see em do it! boiled, then baked. they way they are supposed to be done. every place seems to outsource bagels and donuts these days. Bagel Works rings true, and best of all, they are all over the place. If you walk your dog in the morning, there is sidewalk seating. if bagel sammies are not your thing, they can do basic butter or shmear. hit em up! read more

Bagels are super hard every time I get one. Overpriced and I'm pretty sure they microwave their eggs for the egg sannich - not good. They get super busy though, so someone likes mirco-eggs. read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat about a week ago. I was initially going to Panera Bread but came here because of the good reviews. I dont like giving bad reviews but I was extremely disappointed! The attendants weren't that pleasant and I felt like I was inconveniencing them when reading the menu trying to decide what I wanted. I'm guessing I was taking to long whereas they were closing in 35 min. I over looked it and figured that they just wanted to clean up and get out of work (which we all like to do). I was completely discussed, turned off, and shocked when I noticed that she put my sandwich In the microwave to cook it! Are you kidding me?? They should notify you of this before hand. If I wanted a microwaved sandwich I would of went to McDonald's or dunkin doughnuts.. I don't even microwave my own food. I cook everything in a toaster oven or on the stove.. People should start researching the awful hazards of what microwaves do to your food and your body for that matter. When I took my first and only bite out of the sandwich it was rubbery and only half way cooked. It was definitely not fresh, it tasted like it was sitting out all day.. Also, I felt the way she was handling the food was completely unsanitary. You should ALWAYS either wash your hands thoroughly or wear gloves before handling food.. I will never come back here and would not recommend this place to anyone until they invest in a toaster oven and educate their employees on sanitation and hygiene. It got 2 stars because of the location, and the organic menu options. read more

I used to go here all the time when I worked in Concord.. the people who work here are awesome, their bagel sandwiches rock my world.. and the bagels are made fresh all the time (not wheeled off a truck!). when I visit I usually stop in and eat one of their tasty bagel creations. They also make wicked good brownies and cookies.. ah (-: read more

Great people who give great service. They remember the regular's usual orders and care about their customers. Great bagels and various cream cheeses made up at their shop. I can't imagine life without their bagel nutrition. It's my home away from home. read more

I went their with my wife and six kids, 2 of which are autistic. The person making our food snapped at me for how i was handling my child who was starting to get unruly. I had to tell the woman to get back to doing her job. I almost walked out. I was so upset that anyone would dare say anything to me when they dont have a clue as to what i have to deal with and i should not feel like i am punished by not being able to go out in public with my children. Ok, so now my review of the food. First off, they microwave the raw eggs as their way of cooking them, which i find to be horrible for how much they charge for their food. I got a roast beef sandwich, and the roast beef itself was stringy and gross, certainly not of any good quality. The lettuce had lots of brown on it. The tomatoes were alright, and the bread was reasonable. My wife could not finish her breakfast sandwich, she said it was gross. My childs parfait was good, so she said and she also liked her muffin. My other child like her turkey sandwich, besides the fact that they did not have american cheese. I gave this place 2 stars only for the fact that they had snapple, other than that i will never go back there. read more

A very affordable little cafe and coffee shop with quick service. I had a great smoked salmon bagel. Honestly, how can smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel be anything short of heavenly? Can't attest to the other sandwiches as we were only passing through, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients lead to some tasty and healthy options. Great seat by the large floor to ceiling window for people watching. Outdoor seating was also available for even greater people watching. read more

This place was just OK. I had a breakfast bagel with egg, bacon, and cheese. The egg was cooked in a microwave; the whole thing lacked flavor. I asked for my bagel toasted, and it was lightly heated. The three or four steps into the restaurant make this place wheelchair inaccessible. read more

Cute place and staff are very friendly! Had a great bagel there on the way home toBoston. Great coffee as well. Also the only thing going in town early on a Sunday morning. read more

My wife and I have been coming here every Sunday for breakfast for the last couple of years. We have noticed over the last six months or so a steady decline in service. You really have to be sure that the staff are being attentive while you are ordering and I have repeated myself when I'm aware that this is not the case. Standard bagel shop fare in downtown Concord that's reasonably priced. read more

Great little cafe/bagel shop in Concord! Came here for lunch one day, and loved my sandwich and soup. The bagels were delicious!

The place in downtown Concord for breakfast eats. The bagels are top notch and you can have a sandwich on any of them. I get am egg sandwich nearly every day I commute. Lunch is also a great option. The Coffee is good but not the best around. I prefer the bold roast. read more

Love going to The Works, but they tend to skimp on the food sometimes, which is disappointing for the price! Quality and flavors of everything is great, but its annoying when you sometimes order a bagel and it comes with plenty of cream cheese, and other times comes with barely any. It seems like if you go there when it is busy, there is no guarantee that your food will come out as good as it should be. read more

Great coffee and excellent bagels, sandwiches, smoothies, and soups. A fun and vibrant community atmosphere, too. The Works is my go-to in Concord! read more

Stopped in for a cup of coffee to go. Good stuff. Wish I waited for the bold brew. Environment/building looked awesome, good friendly crowd, many people taking orders. read more

Great food but literally the worst customer service ever. Employees are so rude and they're lucky that their food is good, otherwise I wouldn't keep coming back. read more

Delicious... Great sandwiches and soups... not to mention, a to die for maple walnut brownie

Fairly good sandwiches and a couple gluten free options. Coffee is alright. Great location downtown though!

This was a breakfast stop with lentil soup and the garden salad with the chicken almond add inn. I know, I know, not normal breakfast fare but both dishes were delicious. The restaurant was very popular on a Tuesday at 9 a.m., so I think you would be in good hands to dine there for breakfast or lunch. read more
