⭐ Customer Reviews – Somerville Ave Bagel Fans

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jenna R. – Union Square Local
“Saturday mornings at the Union Square Farmers Market are a ritual for me—and so is stopping at Brooklyn Bagel Factory afterwards. Their everything bagel with scallion cream cheese hits the spot every single time. It’s fresh, flavorful, and the perfect snack to enjoy while strolling down Somerville Avenue.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Diego M. – Porter Square Commuter
“Catching the Red Line at Porter Square means I need a breakfast that’s quick but also worth it. Instead of grabbing something bland at a chain café, I head to BBF. A hot bagel and coffee combo here is faster, tastier, and keeps me fueled for the commute into Boston.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Claire S. – Somerville Breweries Regular
“Before I meet friends for a brewery crawl along Somerville Ave, I make sure to fuel up at Brooklyn Bagel Factory. Their bacon egg bagel sandwich gives me the perfect base—it’s hearty enough to last through the afternoon, and honestly, it pairs better with beer than any bar snack.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ravi K. – Local Student
“As a grad student living near Union Square, I need food that’s quick, affordable, and actually healthy. The Agassiz sandwich is my lifesaver between classes—egg white, avocado, cucumber, sprouts, and tomato. Plus, when I can’t get out, their delivery to Union Square is always fast and reliable.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maya L. – Weekend Brunch Explorer
“Somerville Ave is packed with great spots, but when it comes to weekend brunch, I always go for BBF. Their lox and cream cheese bagel is classic, and I love pairing it with an iced latte before wandering into Porter for shopping.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kevin D. – Union Square Artist
“I run a small studio near Union Square, and grabbing a fresh bagel with veggie cream cheese has become part of my morning routine. The staff is always friendly, and there’s something inspiring about starting the day with a local favorite instead of a chain.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lila P. – Porter Square Resident
“I work remotely and often grab lunch from Brooklyn Bagel Factory. Their Alewife sandwich (turkey, bacon, cheddar, Swiss, honey Dijon) is the perfect midday boost. Way better than a typical café sandwich, and just a short walk from Porter Square.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samir H. – Brewery Music Night Fan
“When there’s live music at one of the Somerville breweries, I always swing by BBF first. Their chorizo egg and cheese bagel is the best pre-show meal. It keeps me full without slowing me down.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily T. – Union Square Family Mom
“Bringing kids to the Union Square playground means snacks are a must. BBF’s mini bagels and muffins are my go-to for the little ones, while I grab a chai latte and a plain bagel with butter for myself. It’s become part of our family weekend routine.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jason W. – Somerville Ave Professional
“Somerville Ave mornings can be hectic, but BBF makes it easy. I order ahead on DoorDash, swing by to pick up my coffee and bagel sandwich, and I’m set for the day. Consistent quality, friendly staff, and always fresh.”
