Bagel Gourmet Ole: Reviews & Ratings
The breakfast burrito with steak is the BEST. After graduating from brown, I still go back to providence and make sure to stop here
Service is kind and friendly, they have fun puzzles on the side where you wait, the bagels tastes good, and I forgot my sweater there for a whole week and I returned and they still had it waiting for me under their work tables protected, I didn't even call about it, they kept it out of the kindness of their hearts!
BGO should stand for bagel(juice) goes off because I've never tasted bagel juice as fresh as theirs! Neeeeeed seconds
Absolutely OBSESSED with the bagel juice! I'm from out of town and didn't think I could find bagel juice out here but boy was I excited to learn this place gets fresh squeezed bagel juice straight from the utter every morning! 10/10 recommend.
Stop here for coffee and breakfast burritos every time I am in town for a swim meet at Brown. Clean, courteous, efficient and OMG breakfast BURRITOS! Nice friendly family feel to the place.
Great breakfast bagel sandwich. I mean there's just not much more to say other than it's just really one of the better ones I've had. The egg is never overcooked, the sausage is perfect and the bagels always taste great. I've tried multiple bagel places in Providence and this one has my favorite. The cons: no real tables to eat at and parking can be a challenge. So we call ahead to pick it up to go and one person jumps out to grab it. Just an FYI. I definitely recommend!
Having gone to school on College Hill, stopping by Thayer Street is always a nice treat. I stopped by Bagel Gourmet on a busy weekend (when many pre college students were arriving to Brown and RISD), but the workers at Bagel Gourmet were kind and courteous as always. I got two bagels (~$15) for me and my sister. They were toasted and very yummy. My sister said that the cream cheese on her bagel was a little too salty but it paired well with the drink she got at Starbucks. I had a plain bagel with egg and bacon (no cheese) and it was just what I was hoping for. Quite filling and very savory.
Quick service. Overall bagel was okay. Not much flavor and the lox should have been more evenly spread on the bagel and not just on one side.
Staple for brown students and locals alike. Quality bagels + just opened new location so have two like 500 ft from eachother. Unsure why but both still are very popular. No seating in either but plenty of places nearby to sit and eat. My favorite order is egg cheese and scallion cream cheese, sausage is fire as well.
