Sad to say this because I actually love this place…we’ll, “loved”. My last 5 experiences there have been extremely frustrating and today was the icing on the cake. After explicitly (and very patiently) explaining my order to the girl working the counter, I spent an additional minute going back over my order (only two bagels )to make sure the bacon was added to both and the cheese made it in my bagel. Finally it seemed like she understood so I paid and was given my receipt. The information read: 1 egg bagel with plain cream cheese. I ordered an egg bagel with olive cream cheese and cheddar and bacon. My husband asked for the tomato cheese meld add bacon. So I went back to the counter and asked for her to correct the ticket that we just spent 5 minutes Over. The lines is progressively lengthening through all this. We get our order. Like the past 4 visits, we open the bag to find we were charged for the extras but they are missing. Pictured below the (correct) ticket and the incorrect items. Missing cheese, missing bacon (on one) and a completely unmelted “melt”. Not to mention the obvious tension between staff and manager..jeez. Honestly an uncomfortable experience all around. Will not be returning for a bit. This used to be my FAVORITE spot and I have given this place loads of business over the years.

I have been coming here for a while, and in the past several visits the food and service reminds me of a fast food joint. When the kitchen staff doesn't know what the teens on the service desk are doing, you get a mess. It feels like the ownership changed in this place and someone who has never been in the service industry took over. Read you're negative reviews, they are here for a reason. Most people comment about the negative service and wait times they had to endure. Once that is gone, you have your food to attract people, and if that goes down the drain, well you get the point. When you get a bagel from Wicked Bagels you don't usually expect it to be Wicked. The term for an ugly bagels 🥯 just got a new meaning. That's not even in the shape of a circle. And the dough feels like it was not cooked. The whole bagel is squeezed like someone decided to step on it before putting it in a bag. Also, you can see from the photos that someone didn't do quality control on these bagels. Because I got two top halves of two different bagels. Which means, another customer got two bottom parts of two different bagels. Job well done! If you're looking for good fresh baked goods, drive down the street to MA France! Or Starbucks or Dunkin 5 min away. Especially, when their bagels are cheaper.

Amazing bagels at a reasonable price. These are New York quality: soft and chewy, with exactly the right crust, just slightly larger than average for the style. Because the Boston area has a scarcity of bagels of this quality, there's a line in the morning (at least, there was on opening weekend), but the staff kept it moving at a decent speed. The only nearby bagel baker that's comparable to this is Bagelsaurus in Cambridge, but Wicked Bagel is much less expensive (e.g., at about $15 for a baker's dozen, it's about $10 cheaper than Bagelsaurus).
