Bagel Express — Restaurant in North Providence

New Yorkers claim you can’t get a good bagel outside of the city, but that’s nonsense. You can get a lousy bagel in NY just as easily as a great bagel in Providence and this place proves the point. The bagels are legit. I was in Providence for three days and went there every day; Every time I was in there was a contingent of crusty butts just hanging around and harassing the girls behind the counter. Anyone that knows anything knows that is a sure sign you’re about to have a good bagel. Speaking of the staff they were friendly and attentive but not in a southern pie kind of way, more like a providence “I will tolerate your existence for now, but don’t make me change my mind on that” kind of way. Again, this is how a bagel experience should be and more importantly they make a killer BEC. One son had egg sandos every day (which were on point) I got bagels and cream cheese with tomatoes and cucumbers (my go to) and my other son got a scone for some reason, but he said it was pretty good. My last day I got a bunch of bagels and a bag of the cookies with the lemon icing and HOLY COW they are amazing!! Light, crumbly, buttery, unbelievably delicious. If you’re like, “do I really need the cookies?”, just get the cookies, we only have one shot at this life, might as well make it worth while. So in short, definitely recommend bagel express in north providence. Oh and try to get there early cause they sell out of all the good bagels and only have spinach at the end of the day which...

Heard about this place from some of my college friends and decided to give a shot. Ended up ordering a bacon egg and cheese bagel, expecting something nice and full of flavor. They had one person working there and she was not in the best mood. To my surprise, I had noticed that when she was making my bacon egg and cheese bagel, she was microwaving the bacon and eggs. In doing so she kept looking back towards the register where I was standing to see if I noticed what she was doing. After I had received my bagel, it did not look appetizing at all, part of that came from the fact that it was microwaved. The bagel has no flavor and the bacon was raw as expected. I ended up throwing it away in disgust.

I always believe in second chances, but for now, I don’t see myself coming back...

One Word-LEGENDARY Freshest bagels, most amazing, hard working staff and the ice coffee is excellent. As a resident of North Providence I can 100% say with confidence Bagel Express is, "A MUST" whether you live locally or are traveling through.

I'm picky... I hate new places.. But this place is hands down like no other. Their careful, attention to detail made ordering random bagels at Bagel Express "worry free" for me... And since day one those bagels and those kind hearted, angelic people hooked me on their Bagels and care they place on every customer.

First thing I ever bought I LOVED was the bagels/cream cheese (they make their own cream cheese) -I buy bagels by the dozen and freeze them, they keep just as fresh. They also have FRESH Boars...
