I went an hour into their grand opening, and it was a solid experience. Friendly, engaged staff who are happy to chat about the business & future plans. The indoor space is open and breathable (although the ordering and pickup area gets a little crowded/awkward when customers build up), and there is ample outdoor & indoor seating options.
They’re opening with a more “limited” menu, though the options are satisfactory. I’d be eager to see more sweet options for bagels in the future, but their savory-oriented opening menu is strong. I got a garlic bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was toasted perfectly to give some crunch to the exterior, while preserving the soft texture of a freshly baked bagel. The cream cheese was smooth and bright.
If you care about a quality bagel, it’s worth visiting. The pricing (for cream cheeses in particular) may dissuade less invested customers or those who are indifferent to an OK vs great bagel.

Read moreThe new bagel place is a great addition to the market, about 1 mile from Harvard Sq.

Items that the restaurant can improve include more variety of bagels, spreads and creativity on the types of sandwiches together with more pastries. Oh, and I did find the prices a bit high, almost $7 for one bagel with cream cheese. The size of the bagels is fair, maybe a bit smaller than other places, so I went back for a second bagel, jalapeno and cheddar bagel with veggie cream cheese and that one too was amazing. Overall, I'm very excited about Park Bagelry and I look forward to...
Read moreAbsolutely love this place! The food is incredible—every bagel is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I could eat the miso cream cheese and the maple butter with a spoon.

Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and good energy. I already can’t wait to go back—this will definitely be a regular...
