Great NY style bagels in Newton Center. Known as one of the best bagel spots in the Greater Boston area, Rosenfeld’s Bagel was a great new find during my recent trips to Newton. Unlike the more “hyped” bagel places in Boston and Cambridge, it attracts a predominantly local crowd due to its location. Yet, the line on both Saturday and Sunday mornings was quite long, and I was surprised to see a Newton police officer managing the queue outside the store. Fortunately, they offer a separate line for pre-orders, which is a great convenience if you’re looking to bypass the wait. On both of my visits, I opted for their bagel sandwiches, which surprisingly weren't that popular. Most people seemed to prefer buying dozens of their favorite bagels and a variety of spreads to take home. The protein topping options were limited to lox slices and tuna salad, and I found the lox slices to be far superior. The bagels themselves were some of the best I've had in the Greater Boston Area. These water-boiled bagels had the perfect balance of a chewy, light, and fluffy interior with a crispy exterior. Additionally, their unique cream cheese flavors, such as Sun Dried Tomato & Dill, paired wonderfully with the classic lox bagel sandwich. Would highly recommend giving them a try if you’re looking for an authentic NY/NJ style bagel experience. Parking: Free parking lot around the building 7-10spots, Ample paid parking lot/ street parking
Lackluster, flavorless bagels. Reminded me of cafeteria food, not NYC bagels. Got chive cream cheese spread and received a very skimpy amount of schmear. My group got 3 bagel sandwiches and a side of egg salad - this was $40.
So the bagels are good and so is the cream cheese. I got a half dozen: 2 whole wheat everything, 2 whole wheat, and 2 cinnamon raisin. They are nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got the large Miami Lox cream cheese amazing and a 4 oz small strawberry cream cheese also amazing but for some reason when I opened it it looked half full? See my picture for proof. It was sealed and I took this pic immediately upon opening the container. If that’s truly 4 oz, get smaller containers, because you make your customers feel like your are being skimpy with a half filled container. Super expensive for that amount of cream cheese too….the staff is also really unfriendly and rushes you unless you are a regular which is extremely off putting. Prob won’t be back.
There are things to love and to hate about this business, so I’ll try to offer a balanced review. Having visited on a regular, weekly basis, I think that some of the “charm” associated with the establishment stems from the fact that it remains somewhat “static” in terms of its business model. That’s fine in some respects - there is no doubt that the bagels are top quality. However, from an operational perspective, it leaves much to be desired. Specifically: 1 There does not appear to be any rhyme nor reason to the question of early-morning access. If you line up prior to opening to get fresh, warm bagels, some customers are allowed to enter the store to pick up deliveries while others have to remain outside in the line. Sometimes, clients are told to enter once the door is unlocked around 6:50am…At other times, clients are told to wait until the “manager” comes out to formally greet them. In one instance, she didn’t exit until well after 7am and stated that we “should have entered once the door appeared open.” It’s not a huge deal, but it’s more annoying on a cold winter morning. Please establish some consistency here. Even a basic sign outlining the store’s policy would be helpful. 2 Approximately 50 - 75% of the time, one arrives at 7am to find out that they are out of “everything” bagels. How do you run out of your most popular item before you even open? I understand that there are advance orders, but why do you have bins and bins of your less popular bagels but you seem incapable of structuring your operations to ensure that you have your flagship product available for clients who have waited outside in line at the crack of dawn? Again, this happens on a REGULAR basis. I’m not referring to a “one-off” occurrence. 3 It’s nice to have such a broad assortment of cream cheeses, but why can’t you label them CLEARLY? Do you realize that they are often in the wrong part of the fridge i.e. mixed up because other clients have taken them out, gotten confused as to which item they are, and then placed them back incorrectly? Do you also not realize that it would be easier to use a clear and visible label something which you CAN apparently do with the jalapeño flavor rather than to have your customers rely on random check marks and marker smudges on the container that look like they were applied by Stevie Wonder? It’s NOT. THAT. HARD…. 4 I understand that pointing out one or any of these points to the manager may be frustrating to her. Imagine, however, how frustrating it is for your clients. As an employee, you may not relish client interaction, but trust me, your clients would prefer to have a clean, seamless, competent purchase-experience as well. “Help me help you” and address some of this low hanging fruit… Being passive-aggressive and implying that your customers are “foolish” for not being able to navigate an obviously sub-optimal process is not helpful. I really want to continue to use this establishment, but the benefits of the quality bagels and “nostalgic” atmosphere are severely undermined by persistent and arguably solvable operational shortcomings… Thank you.
Used to be good. 4 of the bagels over baked to the point that I just had to toss them. But I won't go again because the service sucks wrong flavors in my bag and no freezer bags even though I asked for them specifically. And the the worst irritation is; Without asking and with no indication on the card reader, they have the nerve to add on a 20% tip for 40 seconds of really poor and rude service. I was as polite as is humanly possible and said thank you, not noticing the outrageous tip and the guy just glares at me like I just kicked his dog! So take your $4.50 tip on 12 bagels total cost $22 and buy yourself a better personality.
This is the best bagel in Boston, and maybe the world. My dad grew up coming here as a kid- his two brothers both moved to NYC home of the bagel and have yet to find a better bagel. These are BIG bagels with a perfect outside crunch and delicious doughy inside. My favorite is the Egg Poppy, but you really can’t go wrong here. Tried and true, I dare you to find a better bagel.
Delicious bagels and the best challah in the area! I also had a smoked salmon bagel sandwich and it was also the best one I’ve had in the Boston area. The staff were very nice and kind as well. What a gem of a place! Note that it’s a bit tricky to find. My suggestion is to park in the lot bring some change so you don’t have to pay extra for the Passport app’s convenience fee and just pay at the pay station. Walk across the street towards the train station, then cross to where Piccadilly market is, walk around the front of the building, and Rosenfeld’s is right next door to the nail salon.
My 1st review and it's out of frustration. I've put up with the rude workers at this place for years because the bagels were usually good. But yesterday 5 out of the dozen bagels I got to go were burnt. Considering the considerable price hikes now $16.50/12 bagels, $5.85 for cream cheese... I think I'm done with this joint.Food: 1/5
My favorite local bagels! For cream cheese I get 4 bagels for the small size and I'm going to estimate 8 for the large size.Food: 5/5
Absolutely wonderful bagels! Best I’ve had in years. Went with a basic plain bagel toasted & cream cheese. Superb. Highly recommend Food: 5/5
