Bagel was pretty solid. Best I've had so far in Boston, but I haven't had many to compare it to. Mistakenly got lettuce added to my bagel instead of onions , so that was sad. Will try again.

Epicurious

They offer more than 20 bagel varieties but sesame , egg , and poppy seed are their "calling cards." The extensive cream cheese selection includes scallion , honey walnut , dill , and green olive . Read more

Known for some of the best bagels in Boston , Kupel's serves up many other pastries and homemade dishes. Stock up for the weekend, as they observe the Jewish Sabbath starting Friday at sundown. Read more

I used to live in NY and this is one of the few places in Boston where you can get a NY quality bagel . The Orr is a classic sandwich done perfectly

Sarah

I’ve been here 4-5 times and can say the food is straight up bad. Bagels aren’t tasty, egg sandwich is dry, service is confusing, iced coffee tastes both burnt and watery. Nice outdoor seating but C-

Best bagels I’ve ever had. I recommend any sort of fish on an egg bagel .

Al S

Best bagels in the Boston area, hands down. (Salt is my favorite.) Also a great selection of tofu cream cheeses for you vegan types. BONG.

Nothing beats a New York bagel , but Kupel's probably had the best bagels in. Boston. At least, the best I've found so far.

Tofu cream cheese , amazing rugalach.. Can't go wrong! Lots of vegan pastries too!

Egg and Poppyseed , but no one does it like Moe Eagerman did! Toast the bagel ..it is Boston and that's how we do it!

Amanda Zalkind

I personally think everything there is yummy.. ESP their bagel sandwiches ..

Felipe Gorenstein Massa

If you wake up on a Sunday and feel like a bagel think of this place. The service is fast but seating is limited. I ordered a pumpernickel bagel with salmon and cream cheese with chives . :-) Read more

Bagels look good but they burnt mine and didn't let me get half hot chocolate half coffee . Dunkin ftw

New York bagels were never meant to be toasted with cream cheese . So don't pull the Boston toasting crap while your here.

Steve Strom

Try a salt bagel with lox and cream cheese . Nothing finer.
