❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Brooklyn Bagel Factory, Cambridge, MA

1) What makes your bagels different from other shops in Cambridge?

Our bagels are hand rolled, kettle-boiled, and stone-baked daily, just like traditional New York bagels. This process creates a chewy inside and crisp crust that machine-made bagels can’t replicate. Every batch is crafted in small quantities to ensure quality and freshness.

2) Do you offer delivery in Cambridge?

Yes! We provide fast, reliable delivery across Cambridge, including Harvard Square, Kendall Square, Central Square, and MIT. We also deliver to nearby neighborhoods like Allston, Somerville, and Brookline. Orders typically arrive within 30–45 minutes, depending on distance and time of day.

3) How can I place an order online?

Ordering is simple through our website: brooklynbagelfactory.square.site. Just select your bagels, sandwiches, or catering platters, choose delivery or takeout, and schedule your order. You can also call us directly at +1 617-945-7286 for large or custom orders.

4) Are your bagels vegan or vegetarian friendly?

Most of our classic bagels are naturally vegan since they contain no eggs or dairy. We also offer vegan cream cheese and plant-based sandwich options. For vegetarians, we have a wide range of cheese spreads, egg sandwiches, and veggie-packed bagel sandwiches.

5) Do you offer gluten-free bagels?

Currently, we do not bake gluten-free bagels, since the chewy texture of a bagel comes from wheat gluten. However, we occasionally offer gluten-free sides or salads as alternatives. Please note that our kitchen handles wheat, so cross-contact is possible.

6) What are your most popular menu items?

Customer favorites include the Everything Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese, Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel Sandwich, and the classic Lox & Schmear. For sweet lovers, our Cinnamon Raisin Bagel is a best-seller. We also have lunch sandwiches like the Turkey Club Bagel.

7) How do you ensure delivery orders arrive fresh?

We package bagels and spreads separately to preserve texture. Sandwiches are tightly wrapped, while cream cheese comes in secure, spill-proof containers. Ventilated bags prevent steam from softening crusts, so you get that same fresh-from-the-oven quality at home.

8) Do you offer catering services in Cambridge?

Yes! We cater for office breakfasts, college events, family brunches, and more. Our catering menu includes bagel assortments, schmear boards, sandwich platters, fruit, and coffee travelers. We recommend placing catering orders at least 24 hours in advance for best availability.

9) How should I store and reheat leftover bagels?

Keep bagels in a paper bag at room temperature if you’ll eat them the same day. For longer storage, slice and freeze them in airtight bags. To reheat, toast directly from frozen or warm in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes. Avoid refrigerating—they stale faster in the fridge.

10) What if my order has an issue?

We’re committed to customer satisfaction. If something is missing, incorrect, or not up to your expectations, please call us immediately at +1 617-945-7286. We’ll make it right with a replacement, refund, or store credit—because your happiness is our priority.
