A Stamford staple! Love village bagels. Great, fresh bagels and cream cheeses, great prices. Lines are always worth waiting in here. I wouldn't recommend any egg sandwiches as I'm pretty sure they're microwaved. Otherwise, everything else is a go! read more

Great bagels and sandwiches! But PARKING can be a problem, depending on what time you arrive.

Right before I moved away from Stamford, this place clearly got new ownership. I don't recall much changing, and from the outset it doesn't seem like it now either. Yes, they have a new section of Latin pastries, but otherwise it looks the same. The bagels are the same, the service is the same. But man, they really try and stiff you on what goes ON those bagels now. I had to ask for extra cream cheese to get what I'd consider a decent starting point. Their regular amount seems actually pretty difficult to accumulate with a knife without putting some back. New ownership is clearly a bit cheap and that's sad. Stamford has bagel places, but most are pretty mediocre to bad. This wasn't one, but now that's no longer the case. read more

Great bagels. Attentive staff, no nonsense. Best place for 1, prepared there or a dozen yo ho bagels in Fairfield County read more

Great bagels. Really pleased. Plenty of staff so you don't have to wait. Price was very fair. Seemed very popular. Parking could be an issue depending on when you go. I would definitely go back. Also they have a decent bakery section. If you're looking for a place to sit down, this isn't your place as it's a takeout place. read more

The bagels are huge, light airy and delicious. my kids love the rainbow bagels, and the egg bagels are great too!

Came here for the first time, because of the good reviews. Let me start off by saying the customer service was excellent. It was my first time here, so I needed to look over the menu and had questions. They answered my questions and gave me time to complete my order. They then took my order quickly and my food was done in less than ten minutes. Also, it looks smaller on the outside, but when you come in there is more space. I had a breakfast burrito (bacon egg and cheese with peppers and onions and a special sauce), rainbow bagel with cream cheese not toasted (not pictured, my daughter devoured it before I could take a picture) and a sausage egg and cheese on a toasted everything bagel. The food was all very good, like real good. I like their eggs and that sausage patty was very good. My only few issues which take this from a 5 star review to a 4 star review was that the bagel and breakfast burrito were both extremely soggy. I don't know why, I didn't let it sit too long. The burrito I might understand being a little soggy because of the grease from cooked food and sauce, but this was extreme. And I still don't understand why the toasted bagel was soggy. The bacon in the wrap was a bit chewy and a little fatty, now that could be partially on me for not asking for them to cook crispy / cook it hard. And lastly, I checked-in at the correct location but was unable to use the free small iced or hot coffee coupon. They might have just not known which happens, but just wanted to mention it incase anyone checks in and tries to use it. They were apologetic about it though, which I appreciated. Other than those small, easily fixable things. This is a 5 star place for sure. I will definitely be back. Oh, and yes there is parking outside in their lot. WIN! read more

Yummy fresh bagels, and great homemade cream cheese. They have an extensive menu that I have yet to try, but the 3 bagels I have gotten so far have all been really good. I like the onion bagel with scallion cream cheese. My father got a everything bagel with locks and cream cheese, and he said it was good too. The staff is nice and always eager to please. However, the pastries off to the side are not that great. I sampled 3 different ones and they were only meh. They weren't bad, but not very good. They tasted kinda stale and cheap. That being said, I'm not going to a bagel store for pastries, so it's fine. The main character of the store is delicious and that's all I care about. read more

Regardless of the length of the line, these are by far the best bagels in Stamford. You can see the passion for great service and great bagels as soon as you walk in the door. I especially appreciate the cleanliness of the restaurant, which is unlike some other local bagel places. Fresh, homemade cream cheese in many flavors are displayed in clean glass cases, as are the bagel flavors. Pro tip: get there early if you have a favorite flavor, as some of the populars tend to sell out. I especially enjoyed the Super Onion! We always order two bagels, one with lox (The New Yorker) and the other with bacon, egg, and cheese and split, so we get a half of each. You cannot go wrong with what has become our regular Sunday stop! Who knew you could get New York bagels a good hour outside of the city. read more

Line out the door when Hubs and I went to get a bagel on Sunday but it moved quickly and service was friendly and prompt. I got a New Yorker (a lox bagel sandwich) on a toasted egg bagel with scallion cream cheese. I loved that they asked if I wanted any specific cream cheese rather than just proceeding with regular and there was a healthy load lox and evenly distributed capers and onions. At the end of the day though - and this is entirely a matter of personal opinion/preference - the bagel itself was a little too soft for my liking, even after being toasted. Village Bagels is a convenient few minutes from my home so I'm certain to return for convenience sake but this Jersey girl is still on the hunt for that perfect crusty outside but soft inside bagel in CT. read more

Great bagels and great service. In addition, village Bagels offer some other lovely dessert treats!

Does not respect the shmear. I need a glass of water to take this dry bagel down. Bagel and cream cheese means cream cheese not the aura of cream cheese. read more

As a bagel snob, I discovered this place through Yelp and thankfully the reviews were pretty spot on. Excellent bagels (slightly crispy exterior), with a not too dense interior. Really, really good bagel that stacks up to any NYC bagel. Selection is ok, not great. Do t really care about cream cheese, although people say it's quite good here. read more

What a disappointment. This place used to be my go to. Never again. Bought a New Yorker (bagel, cc, nova, tom, onion) costing nearly $13!!! And this garbage is what I got - literally a SINGLE very very thin slice of nova. What an absolute RIPOFF! It's so insulting! Never. Ever. Again. read more

I've been shopping at this place for years, at least three times a week. The staff used to be really friendly and knew what they were doing. A few months ago, I went in and was helpd by some new people who didn't understand anything I said. I get that English isn't their first language, but come on! basic things like cream cheese and coffee should be in their vocabulary. I mean, that's way they do evryday. The first time, I got it; they were in training. But now, it's still the same, and I always order the same thing. If I'm lucky, the guy in the cap is there to help translate. It's just become a challenge to place an order. Plus, the staff doesn't always seem to have the best personal hygiene. It's a shame because it used to be one of my favorite spots. Now, instead of leaving with a good experience, I just end up frustrated with wrong orders or struggling to communicate with the girls when the guy isn't around :( read more

This place is great! I hit this place up whenever wr visit my brother in laws family and always grab Sunday bagels for 12 people. Full selection of bagels, cream cheeses, and lox. They also have really good fresh squeezed orange juice. The shop is family owned and they are always very friendly and patient as I keep adding things to my order. Highly recommend giving them a shot, you won't be sorry! read more

Best bagels in Stamford, CT! Great coffee and prices as well. Line always moves quickly thanks to efficient staff members. I'm a big fan of the New Yorker - lox, cream cheese, red onion, and tomato, but any of their other sandwiches are tasty as well. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

The service was great, the ambiance was also awesome and the food omg was just wonderful

Great shop! My first time visiting this little gem and I wasn't disappointed. I bought a baker's dozen, cream cheese and lox to take to a friend's house. The service was speedy and accommodating. The bagels were much larger than I expected and delicious. I got the vegetable and a plain cream cheese with my order. If you're looking for a delicious bagel fix, you'll want to give this shop a try. read more

Every time I'm up north on the East Coast I gotta grab some bagels. We stopped here on our way out of Connecticut as I had heard about Village Bagels through word of mouth. Everything was so fresh and delicious. A must try if you're in the area. You can tell it's a local spot as there are many regulars who arrived that morning and she knew all their orders! Great shop. Delicious spreads, fresh bagels, great breakfast sandwiches, fresh coffee, and natural fresh squeezed orange juice. read more

Fantastic, made on premise, bagels my go to is the Whole Wheat Everything with some fresh squeezed orange juice.

Came on a Sunday morning around 930 am and it was busy which is always a good sign! Friendly and quick service and very reasonable pricing. I got a whole wheat bagel with egg cheese and sausage and my husband got sesame with garlic herb cream cheese. The bagel was a little top soft for my liking but totally my preference to have a little crunch on the outside. I would probably get it toasted and with cream cheese next time. My husband love their bagel! It's a bit more thin than some others which is nice it's not enormous. read more

Food is good! customer service from the employee great!!! But the owner is SO RUDE!! She barely had her mask on!!! Rudely asked me to step back Because I was too close to the case(mind you there was chairs there), the only reason why I leaned over was because the employee couldn't hear me and I didn't want to yell. She was in the back yelling at a employee and clock outs and clock ins. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! Mind you before she pulled him back he was helping a customer!!!!!! read more

Love this place. The cream cheeses are so good and fresh tasting. I usually get scallion cream cheese with turkey and tomatoes & its usually enough for breakfast and lunch. The ladies that work there are so sweet, especially the older white woman-she is an absolute doll. I've always received great service here and I've never had skimpy cream cheese (as other reviews stated). The jalapeño cream cheese is very spicy so be prepared! I always get a bagel with jalapeño cream cheese when I get a cold since it opens my sinuses right up. read more

Best bagels in Connecticut! We've been trying bagels around Fairfield county for years and today we found the winner! Went in at 10 am on Sunday and it was (deservedly) packed, but they we were super efficient. The bagels and toppings were outstanding, as was the fresh squeezed orange juice. Highly recommend! read more

Great bagels, solid variety! I think their cookies could use improvement and same for their veggie cream cheese. Egg salad is also delicious!! read more

I haven't been there too much lately but before covid closures I NEVER paid 5.05 for an untoasted sesame bagel with a smear or lox spread . Never going to happen again either. Not at that price. read more

Disappointed that staff was not adhering to COVID19 mandates. Staff not wearing masks properly or at all. Not acceptable during a pandemic in the food industry that is customer facing. read more

Amazing! Jalapeño cream cheese is great as well as the bagels Drove from Michigan only for them

Great spot. The bagels are fresh and there is soooo much variety. I can see how some reviewers dislike the BEC sandwiches, but honestly....you're at a place known for bagels! Not bacon or eggs! But I digress... Came here on a Saturday morning and although there was a long line, I was able to get there pretty quickly. I ordered the spinach bagel with chive cream cheese. It was amazeeee. I'll definitely be back. TL; DR? Order the bagels. The schmear amount is awesome & the bagels are fresh. Not to mention the amount of different bagel/cream cheese combos! read more

I was just at this place to get a New Yorker and BLT, and, as usual (the last ten times in a row) no matter who makes it, it is always so poorly made. They barely put anything on it: I wish I took a picture this morning, there were literally three extremely small slices of salmon. I keep going there hoping it will be better but I am actually done with this place now!! So tired of getting the poorest portion of all the time and will not be back! read more

So I used to go here with my kids years ago, also every weekend. Good bagels, quick fast service. Now still good bagels, sloooow service. read more

Very nice very clean and very good! A cute little bagel shop in Stamford that I will be going back to :)

Maybe it's because I'm not from here that I don't understand the comments about speed for this place. That being said slow down, enjoy the food and people here. If you think they're slow it's probably because you are in a rush (mostly everyone out here thinks they are), show up a bit earlier...problem solved. The people are very friendly, their bagels are awesome (especially the onion with jalapeño cream cheese), and this is my go-to breakfast stop. Can't wait to try many of the foods they come up with here. Pat, Mike, everyone else. You guys are great, keep up the good work. read more

I guess this place is only good for bagels???????! The last time I was here I got bacon eggs and mozzarella on a roll, please see the photo :( :'( The time before that I got two orders of bacon, two eggs and mozzarella scramble, and dry toasts.... The both times the eggs were rubbers I didn't taste NO cheese, bacons had NO taste due to burnt to black read more

I.Love.The.Protein.Blast. How did I not find this breakfast sandwich earlier? Or create it myself? Egg whites, turkey, Monterey Jack cheese and tomato. Just what I need to start my Sunday - and to carry me through until dinner. All served on a very fresh whole wheat bagel. PS- Village Bagels has a Whole Wheat Everything. Next on my list to try - healthier carb with all of the deliciousness of an everything bagel. Cant.Wait. read more
