Cafe Fresh Bagel - Needham

New Yorker approved bagels. On par or better than Kupels, Rosenfeld's, or Katz. Good sandwiches, decent coffee. Get the bagels and the schmear.

Great food and the most patient unflappable staff handling the lines of people who know where to go for authentic bagel quality. They have iced decaf hazelnut coffee!!! They also have almond milk for those who care...like me. I care deeply. There is no comparison between a black because they don't have a non-dairy-option iced decaf with a bad-for-you sugar flavor syrup an iced coffee from this place--having the flavor infused in the bean with almond milk. Plenty of open seating on a busy Thursday morning. Free parking behind the store. You can put these up against any NYC Bagel these will win. Convenient to the Needham Heights T. Good mornings start here!

There's usually a line here. So when you walk in and see the line looped, don't get scared off! It moves pretty quickly, giving you enough time to know what you want before you get to the counter. Small local business but very friendly staff. We came late Sat morning around 11am and they were still making fresh bagels. They gave a good amount of variety and their custom blend cream cheese are very soft and spreadable. We got the garlic bagel with plain cream cheese and sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. I'm looking forward to going can to trying more.

Love the overall vibe of this place.. there was a huge line but that's how you know it's gonna be the best bagel!

Amazing bagels and bagel sandwiches!! I love visiting Cafe Fresh when i'm really craving a good breakfast. Everyone is so sweet and kind and make the experience of dining in even more pleasant. I love the variety of bagels they have, and ESPECIALLY love the variety of cream cheeses. I had an onion bagel toasted with jalapeno cream cheese and it hit the spot.
