Cafe Fresh Bagel — Restaurant in Framingham

This is a definite MUST STOP HERE! I had never been to Framingham and on way out of town was looking for a spot to grab lunch and go. Saw a sub shop and pulled in, but alot of people so went into the bagel shop next door-they make sandwiches so that works! It was just after 2pm and looked like they were closed-sweeping and cleaning-i asked and the extremely hospitable man said no problem u tell me what u want! The bagels are so fresh they don't need to be toasted-that slight crust followed by the sooo nice chew. Hubby had a whitefish on a plain bagel and I had a turkey/cheese on onion-boy were they delish! And so packed we only ate half and saved the other half for dinner and the bagel was still perfect! Luckily I said yes to buying some end of day bagels to bring home and chive cream cheese cuz this am was just as delish! Please go here and support this business-he is well worth it and the perfect -better than new york-bagel is a taste worth not waiting for! I'll be back from...

I threw it away and drove the extra 10 minutes in rush hour to go to another...

This place is a hidden gem. We always get our bagels here on special occasions. The owner is always there when we go and I have special fondness for him and his business because of the kindness he showed me years ago when my mom was hospitalized. The bagels are always freshly baked and have just the rightconsistency not too bready and not too chewy either. They have a dizzying array of varieties and a good variety of cream cheeses including plain, chive, veggie, and lox. They have low fat too if you want low-fat cream cheese. You can eat in or carry out. You cannot...
