Five stars to me! Friendly service and one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had (spinach, cheese and egg on a jalapeño cheddar bagel). It was delicious! Dark coffee is also quite nice. Exactly what I was looking for - a quality alternative to the chain coffee shops. Highly recommend! read more

Really solid sourdough bread and everything bagel. They are really nice in there and restroom is clean

Took a long time for them to take our order and serve the order which was only one item. Got the honey banana smoothie which didn't taste much honey. Mostly just banana smoothie flavor which was a bummer. It was also quite expensive ~$9 I think. Good view of the water and good seating area though. read more

Overall: I went to this small cafe with my parents. It seems to primarily cater to the breakfast crowd, but they have lunch as well. It's a decent option if you want a quick bite in the fast casual category. Food: 3 Service: 3 Value: 4 Atmosphere: 2 Food: I got the bbq chicken melt. It's a panini with grilled chicken and bbq sauce. Taste wise it was pretty good, but the sauce made the bread very soggy and it sort of fell apart. Service: This place is all counter service. Staff is friendly but unremarkable either way. Value: Each of the sandwiches is priced around $10. Not bad for as much food as you get. Atmosphere: There were only 5 tables for two people. We had to split up our group just to eat, and lots of people were milling around looking for tables. Not an ideal setup. read more

It's ok. The staff seem nice enough but the food was only ok and the coffee was mediocre.

Stopped by for a triple chocolate and chocolate chip cookies. The triple chocolate is better (in my opinion) quick service, easy parking, will be back to try other things! read more

Great bagels and cream cheese selection. Nice sandwiches as well. They carry Gluten Free so that's a big plus. Average "retail bar" service and ambiance is mostly take out, but sitting on the side with the river flowing next to you (albeit through the windows) is still nice. The strong suit here is the food. read more

Loved the food, location, and service. Perfect location in center of town. I had a breakfast burrito for lunch, and substituted extra avocado for the meat to make it vegetarian. Great coffee!! Good value! Highly recommended! read more

I've picked up bagels here many times. Went with my kids over the weekend and experienced disengaged staff weirdly breaking down shipping boxes behind the counter, no handwashing, wiping hands on clothes, forgot half our our order.... waited twenty minutes for half our bagels. Really out of it crew. read more

Sometimes great, sometimes you don't get what you ordered. Weekends are especially busy, the wait generality isn't too long but I find that's when I've had my ordered wrong pretty consistently - but when it's correct it's fantastic. It's a good spot to sit and eat when there's space. read more

Food is tasty. That's the end. Parking is horrible. There is simply not enough spots during lunch rush hour. I ended up parked my car at the empty store next door that had no parking signs all around. I left my friend in the car just in case. When I walked inside, there were a lot of people as expected. I walked up to the cashier, ready to give them my 6 different order numbers. Instead she said I just need to give her the first names of all orders. Fine. Once I did that she told me to check the shelves in the back. When several orders were missing I waited and waited. No one brought the food to the shelf. I had to pick up the food from the counter. Also, most take-out places have utensils and napkins in the bag already. I did not know they did not put anything in them until I arrived back at the horse show. The lead woman is nasty. As an out of town visitor, I am not sure this attitude will bring me back. Maybe they are so busy already that they did not want more business. Shame. read more

Love this place. Bread and ingredients always fresh. Love the online option stop and just pick up. Employees always helpful and happy !!!!

Had a super delicious turkey/ avocado and bacon on fresh sour dough bread. Sandwich was large and I split it. Enough for both. Everything looks yummy - bagels/ salads/bowls. Small and cute inside eating area and small area outside. Parking is tight. Highly recommend ! read more

Great lunch spot. Many options, also gluten free and vegan options. Cozy up next to the river and enjoy a break!

Service took forever worried only about online orders sat there as the only in house order for 30 minutes was called a bitch by one of the workers with dark hair would only recommend ordering online if you want to go there otherwise forget it because you'll be sitting there 30-40 minutes in an empty room watching them do online orders and when you say something they tell you to basically get over it that they do them in order all though I stood there watching them continuously taking online orders and putting them infront of in house.... Horrible customer service and horrible routine not sure how they get buy especially on busy days because today was a slow one for sure and they couldn't keep up read more

Great bagels. Had a breakfast sandwich yesterday and a BLT today, they were both terrific. I love how they put salt in their everything mix.

What a rip off not only is what they call a bowl of granola and absurdly small portion, but they don't even have whole milk to go with it read more

Six months ago, there was a hiccup with my order. I was contacted to rectify the situation with a coupon for my next order. Today I had no problem using that coupon! How REFRESHING to be able to use a credit that hasn't expired until I return to a vacation area! God Bless America & SMALL businesses that BELIEVE in CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! read more

This is the spot for breakfast! Delicious bagels and they have classic or fun cream cheese flavors! Their coffee is also really good. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. read more

Decent bagel for New England, but not quite as good as Jersey and NYC. However I am anxious to try more.

Yuck - stop scrolling on your phone and handling food at the same time!!!! I walked out and threw my sandwich in the garbage - lox spread was terrible. read more

This place was very good. I got the sunrise wrap which was amazing. My friends got breakfast sandwiches which looked really good too. The bacon was really good. I liked how they had many healthy food options that were to crazily priced. Everything was warm and homey which is exactly what you want in a ski town. read more

Congrats! You just lost my business. Which is a shame because this was my return trip from April, and also I ordered this morning and came back again for a lunch takeout. I'll be in Manchester weekly for work for the next 6 weeks. So that's approximately 8-10 visits that I would have made purchases given I had been looking forward to this place. Instead, yesterday, you refused to let me order bc I had my dog with me. It was my second visit for the day. Meaning I ordered $15 worth of breakfast food and had returned for lunch. Common sense would be to offer to send 1 of any of the 4-5 people behind the counter out to take my order outside. Since I mentioned I just wanted a takeout order. Instead you just insisted that the health inspector won't allow dogs inside. Had you problem-solved and cared enough to be kind, you would have realized that: . 1. It's a certified service animal (complete with paperwork and flies everywhere with me) but you were so quick to shut it down I didn't bother and 2. I guess business is so good that you don't need to accommodate your customers by going the distance. Truly a shame as I've told so many people at the horse show and around how much I loved my egg sandwich. But not enough to deal with that kind of crappy behavior and now my story will be quite different when I discuss your business.. Good luck and maybe try some kindness the next time you fall into these circumstances. read more

As a long time traveling-patron TWBC's staff are professional and pleasant despite functioning at an accelerated pace. Menu items have unbelievably sustained a consistent quality and flavors are exceptional! A must stop if in Manchester VT... read more

Online ordering is way to go, bagels are amazing Their macaroni and cheese does not disappoint, paninis can be hit or miss, sometimes burnt on one side, but overall great place for sandwiches read more

Stopped in for breakfast on our way home. Cute little cafe. Everyone was very nice. Them offering some vegan stuff was a plus, wish it was more but can't complain. read more

Food is always excellent! I wish the restaurant had more seating. They should definitely expand.

Everything was as ordered and ready when I got there to pick up our lunches! Keep up the good work!

Delicious food, super cool atmosphere if you sit in the back by the river. Table space is limited but that's part of the charm

Always right on. Nice perfectly toasted bagel with local cream cheese with just the right touch of sour.

My second review of this cute breakfast/lunch place- we just love it, it's fast, busy and the food is so fresh! Healthy choices available as well as really interesting g sandwich combinations. Today I got the smoked salmon sandwich, I asked to switch out the veggie cream cheese for veggie tofutti(no reason other than to try something else) and it wasn't problem. Yes you wait a little bit but it's totally worth it! read more

The food is always amazing! The service is fast and the staff are friendly. The cafe is kept clean and well maintained. Awesome place to go for eating in or on the go. read more

I'm born and raised in Vermont, in the Manchester area and have been going to Bagel Works ever since I was little. I have always loved it, always had a good experience up until the last two years. You walk in and none of the workers even look like they know what they're doing. We waited 30-40 minutes for two simple bagels and they couldn't even get that right, completely messed up the order because apparently they can't read a ticket. And this is the 4th time this has happened in a row. Not only are they messing up in house orders but the mobile orders too, that you pay IN ADVANCE FOR. If you can't handle in house orders and to go orders, your business shouldn't be doing it. All the workers are lazy and rude and nobody cares enough to make sure your order is complete or correct. It hurts me to write this because I've been loyal to bagel works for the longest time, but now that I've had the amount of bad experiences I've had, I can't help but say something. Sorry Bagel Works...get your act together! read more

First the area is wonderful. The Works was our selection for breakfast and a winner. Absolutely the best bagel sandwich ever. Grilled Western, $6.95. Tomatoes, red peppers, onions, Vermont white cheddar ham and eggs. Coffee a grind above. Lots of action, busy place with some seating. I helped a lady carry bag after bag of prepared bagels out for a wedding. Small stream out side the window. read more

I have been a long time customer. I work in town so it was convenient. But my order is consistently wrong and when I request what I ordered, they are rude. Not everyone is rude but there is one person who is excessively rude. If you can't be nice and do your job accurately, then work somewhere else. Your customers deserve better! read more

Always consistently great food and service, and the on line ordering app is wonderful.

Easy to use app. Great healthy food when on the run. Love the bagles and the sandwiches are a nice alternative to the fast food chains.

We've now been to this location twice on two separate trips to Manchester. Both times the customer service wasn't great - the woman at the counter was not very friendly and the service was slow. We had to wait a bit to get our food. The bagel sandwich and burrito were average. I wished the sandwich had more flavor but it did the trick for an easy breakfast. I wouldn't run back here again now that I've tried a few other breakfast places in the area. read more

Fantastic! Quick service delicious bagels. Nice place. I can see how parking may be an issue , but worth it .
