We are visiting Burlington and ordered Willow's online in advance. Our food was ready quickly. The staff was super friendly! We were greeted immediately and welcomed. They filled our coffee when we arrived so it was hot and fresh! The breakfast sandwiches were amazing and the hash browns were so good. I'm gluten free, and was so happy for the options!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small inside but cute inside- best for takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A fast, no frills place where you can order your sandwich and coffee to go, or if you're lucky and it's warm and sunny, sit on the benches outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Maybe they were undergoing renovation when I was there, as it seemed like one side of the space was walled off where previous photos showed a seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The people were really nice both times I was there! Not sure how they make their bagels, but I love that slight crunchy exterior. Something I really appreciated was the available parking and the bit of distance from central downtown Burlington, and so it wasn't overwhelmed with tourists and there's no hassle with finding a spot to park :) read more

Best lox sandwich in Vermont. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the crowd in line you'd think they were giving free tickets to Mumford and Sons[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is the college-town bagel shop that many of us living in non-college towns wish we had. (to say nothing of us living out west where apparently no one knows how to make bagels and no one knows why they don't) There is a way of custom options, many of them truly innovative! There are lots of bagel sando combos that I've never seen before! There are tons of options for every diet type as well! (great vegan and vegetarian options especially) Grab one for now, and one for later. (these would be great hiking snacks...the envy of your group) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a sit down place, but there are some stools and a counter near the entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered an egg, sausage and cheese sandwich on a sesame bagel. The sandwich was delicious and the bagel was crispy and airy. I also had a very good hot latte and I tried their blueberry muffin since I heard it was the best. The muffin did not disappoint. It was delicious and moist and full of blueberries. read more

Fade willows. Genuinely going to stop going there. Person taking my order was super rude and didn't know what they were doing. Waited 40 minutes for my bagel. My bagel came out cold and my friends were cold as well. The bagels are delicious but just not worth the terrible service and long wait. The staff has zero urgency and doesn't seem to care. FADE. read more

Wow, wow, WOW! Visiting from nyc and normally I don't put much stock in bagels outside the city. This place was easily up there with Rollin Bagel and Bagel Bob's. Tippy top. I got an everything bagel with strawberry sage cream cheese, absolute flavor town. Loved the massive chonks of sea salt and toasted caraway, and the corn flour bottom side worked SO WELL. An actual improvement on the NY bagel. The cashier made the cream cheese fresh and wow does that sage follow the strawberry well. I'm still baffled at finding a top 5 bagel outside the city. Out of words!! read more

I had the place bookmarked prior to visiting Burlington mainly due to such good reviews from locals especially about their vegan bagels. That led me here. It was good but I wouldn't come out of my way to try it. read more

Staff was welcoming and friendly! Our order came up quickly and it was spot on. Fresh bagels and great selection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself is quirky but it works![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Laundromat right next door if you wanna multitask! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely spot and the space is inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick and efficient and the food hit the spot.

A little gem in this neighborhood. We got there when it seemed to be quiet--before 8am on a Monday morning. There was no line at all. When we walked in, I have to be honest, the menu was a little overwhelming but we made it. We got the local sausage, egg and cheddar on a sesame bagel and the Bolt. Both bagels were solid. I liked how it was made right then and there. The menu shows you all of the items that are locally sourced which is great. The main highlights-- the local sausage and the Bolt. They had a few baked goods on the counter. We opted for the strawberry pop tart. And we are thankful that we did. It was delicious! read more

Willows undoubtedly knows their audience: college students of the Hill section looking to unpack their night on the town before. The menu boasts innovative toppings like marinated tofu and vegan lox. The question is can they also walk the walk? The bagel itself was OKAY, we are in Vermont after all, away from the highly regarded NYC/NJ bite. The bagel was slightly overcooked and the salt crystals were too large. I ordered my bagel with chipotle mayo on it, while I could visually see that it was on the sandwich, my taste buds thought differently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Willows bagels is an authentic bagel experience from when you walk in the door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]People line the walls on a weekend morning, a testament to their popularity around the Burlington area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is busy, and this can reflect in the outcome of your order. Today, we ordered 3 bagels and they missed the mark. One was missing an egg, and another's cream cheese was falling off the bagel bread itself. Willows bagels are highly regarded so maybe the expectations were just too high, but I wasn't a huge fan of the actual bagel itself, its was just okay. read more

Got a bacon egg and cheese on a sesame bagel Saturday morning so we had to wait - there were a bit busy Service was great, the people who worked there were really nice and the bagel was nice and chewy read more

I loved these bagels! I got a salt bagel with chive cream cheese. I think the cream cheese was some of the best I've ever had! Would definitely come here again next time I'm in the area. Got it both mornings during our weekend stay in Burlington. Online order was easy and ready before we got there both times we ordered. Cute outdoor area to eat but we did not stay there to eat. read more

Best bagels in town and always super quick! But PLEASE bring back the marinated carrots for the Rusko's Laux. Whatever the weird imitation product is you subbed in recently may be more like real lox, but it's not good. As a vegan I've noticed more and more local restaurants swapping in processed products where they used to have homemade alternatives (Folino's vegan cheese, for example), and it's getting harder and harder to find good places to eat. We don't need it to look like fish; we love veggies! And those carrots were something I looked forward to on the weekends. read more

I can't hype this place up enough. They're some of the friendliest staff I've ever met, they're open early enough that I can go before work, their coffee is consistently good and they have a huge selection of Yerbas. Importantly, they have a LOT of vegan and veggie-friendly options (recommend the faux carrot "laux" and the scallion vegan cream cheese), and have consistently just been such a great way to start my morning or get out and about on my lunch break. I'm going to keep coming back and recommending it to my friends. Also, you can get a hash brown on a bagel. read more

Got here at opening time. Ordered a breakfast sandwich and a cappuccino. Waited for over 20 minutes. Seems understaffed...?

Willow's Bagels is great! Their staff is wonderful. They make their own products, and use local fresh produce. They have vegan options. They support their local community. Pictured below is a fennel bagel with bacon, egg and chive cream cheese with cucumber and arugula ... So tasty read more

Willow's - Bagels Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

No frills, this bagel shop has got the goods. Both bagels we ordered were extremely delicious and well worth every penny. This location doesn't have any indoor dining, but there are a number of picnic tables available for use, which is particularly nice on a warm day. Rufus' Steak and Eggs (On a Cheddar Jalapeño Chive Bagel) - Really liked this one. The roast beef and banana peppers were great, and the bagel was awesome. I highly recommend the cheddar jalapeño bagel. I would definitely order this one again, though there are so many good options here. Rusko's Lox (On a Sesame Bagel) - Good portions of lox on a tasty bagel. The cream cheese tasted fresh (I always love scallions in cream cheese). Another highly recommended option! Price: 5/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

Really enjoyed this local coffee shop while here. The latte was perfect. And the bagel sandwich was great. I had hoped to be able to buy their everything bagel seasoning. read more

Willow's offers some amazing bagels and cream cheese offerings. I have never seen so many varieties of homemade cream cheese! Like, where else have you ever seen cannoli, chocolate chip brownie, roasted red pepper parmesan cream cheeses??? The first two I would like to just eat with a spoon. Yum! They have vegan cream cheese options, too. They do these amazing bagel sandwiches that are copious. I got the Lox, which of course is with smoked salmon and the typical red onion, and capers. They use scallion cream cheese versus plain and add fresh tomato. Delicious and bursting with ingredients. They also have these bagel bombs of the day, which are bagels stuffed with different ingredients before they are baked. They sound amazing. The day I was there they were stuffed with cream cheese, so I opted for the sandwich instead. They have coffee, CBD shots for coffee, juice. A small, but nice seating area inside and a couple of picnic tables outside. Free wifi, too, so a great place to come and work. Awesome service. I will be back often. read more

I had the best bagel sandwich of my life here. I thought I was just ordering a turkey sandwich, but they worked some magic on it. The bagel was warm and crispy somehow, without being toasted. The flavor was special also. Now I'm craving it. read more

I ordered a simple cc and bacon. Took forever and i got something completely different.

Best and biggest lox and cream cheese bagel I've ever had, and I've had them all. A bit pricey at over $12.00 a sandwich, though, but if you're splurging, this is the place to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Get there early, though, because it'll soon be so filled up with college kids still in their pajamas that you won't be able to move.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is terrible--I think there's two stools and an afterthought counter against their picture window which overlooks three or four large picnic table outside which, when it's cold, are uninhabitable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Next door is a laundry mat and an ice cream joint, both also very popular with the kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Bakery and Sandwich shop. The food was really good.

Food- AWESOME- service- SOOOO friendly in a genuine way thanks willows!!! I think her name is Ana- (early am crew- super sweet and patient with my large undecisive. Order! read more

Very poor customer service. Waited outside patiently. Employees were talking gibberish. So I politely walked in with a smile. Young lady with a bandana and belly shirt gives attitude " saying I'll take your order outside". I kindly stated that "I have been waiting there and you have all continued to keep talking". This girls response "I can take your order outside". She was very PASSIVE AGRESSIVE AND RUDE WITH COMPLETE ATTITUDE. I have no problem going back outside; however with that representation of your business I will not pay a penny. I am a total bagel lover. I'm so disappointed. read more

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PLACE YOU MUST GO HERE!!! The food is SO good and they are so inclusive and and accommodating for dietary restrictions. The staff is awesome and so kind. The girl with the cat hat and blue hair is so funny and goes out of her way to brighten your day! Also this place has the best ice in town! read more

So so so so so so good. One of my favorite breakfast takeout spots of all time. They have vegan substitutes for everything, which is rare for a bagel shop. I would recommend something but it's all good. Much faster to order online pickup on the weekends! read more

Got 2 almond maple lattes and 2 breakfast sandwiches. Lattes were the best maple lattes we've had. Breakfast sandwiches were huge, bagels tasted VERY fresh. Loved that you could pick from so many options! (Much more fun than your standard NJ options - bacon, sausage, pork roll, egg, American or cheddar, ha.) Bit pricey but the staff was super nice. Online ordering was really easy to manage. Love that they're taking care of their staff by only doing phone/online ordering right now. Worth the extra couple dollars! read more

Our group of 8 friends stopped here on a Sunday morning and were so pleasantly surprised with the friendly service and delicious bagels! The spike sandwich was delightful on the red pepper Asiago bagel. The Queen City Kombucha was tasty as well, and my friends who ordered coffee enjoyed it. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great spot overall but I want to highlight their very plentiful vegan options! All of their bagels were vegan when I went, as were all but one of their pastries. I recommend the chocolate muffin and the vegan cinnamon rolls (weekends only). read more

The bagels are delicious- I'm a big fan of both the poppy & sesame. There are multiple kinds of vegan cream cheese, vegan cheese slices, hummus, vegan Mayo, sausage, and lox. There are so many other tasty add-ons too like pickled veggies, grilled brussel sprouts, various types of greens, and hash browns! They also make homemade pop tarts, gluten free bagels, and huge cinnamon buns! I can't say enough great things about the food, the service, and the amount of vegan (and gf) options! read more

Willow's - Poppy bagels with plain vegan cream cheese, spinach, tomato, and grilled brussel sprouts & an iced coffee with oat milk - Bagels Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

awesome bagel. veggie cc was great. service was quick and staff was lovely. 100% would go again

I was excited to find a vegan lox bagel out in the wild, but the miso-marinated carrots--while perfectly good--were nothing in any way approaching lox in flavor. I've made more smoky lox-like carrots at home. The sandwich was okay, but in no way reminiscent of a lox bagel. Bolt sandwich was also fine I'm told, nothing to write home about. read more

This is so cute and was priced not to bad. The staff was super kind and it was cozy inside. I got the willows blend medium roast coffee and put some oat milk in it and it was good! I also got 2 bagel bombs I got both sausage egg and cheese and they were out and a bit cold I wish I asked for it to be heated but it was still really good and I definitely recommend it! I will definitely be going here every time I visit Burlington! read more

Stumbled upon this place as we were making our way up the hill from downtown to the college. Great little place with picnic tables and plenty of shade (it was 90 degrees the day we were there). The bagel sandwiches are very good, maybe a little pricey, but well worth the cost. read more
