Reviews for Balsam Bagels in Rochester, NY
I?ll review the bagels and the employees. A tough outside protects the soft and warm inside. A little bit salty, but overall,... quite nice. As for the bagels, they were great. Read more
The best bagels in Rochester. They have best texture: a shiny and ever-so-slightly crunchy exterior with a delightfully chewy... but not too dense interior. The flavors are great with many unique options. The lines are always long on the weekend so skip thesandwiches and just get a dozen to go! Read more
Some of the best bagels in Rochester for sure. Super hard working and friendly employees provide great service even while... slammed with a line out the door! The bagels have a nice chew and good texture, density and flavor. Highly recommended. Theonly thing I'd suggest to them is to add "ORDER HERE" and "PAY HERE" signs so first timers know the routine.

As one of Rochester's most well-known Bagel Shops, Balsam Bagels features a variety of bagels and other baked goods! I had a... French Toast bagel for the first time in my life and it was so delicious. The staff was kind and moved fast to accommodate allthe patrons that were in line (on a Tuesday morning). Will definitely be back in the future ???? Read more
Excellent local hometown bagels. The great French Toast bagel. Friendly and helpful service and excellent 50% of day old bagels.... Get a breakfast or lunch sandwich too. Read more
Very quick service, different coffee every day. Loved the cookies. Tried the everything bagel with the garlic and herb spread.... I would come again. I love having a local bakery in every corner of the city! This is a must try!? Read more
I LOVE Balsam Bagels! Every single time I have been there, it has always been a great experience! Every single employee that... works there, is extremely nice, they never seem bothered and never rude!! It seriously matters! It makes me want to drive outof my way and go there, rather than Brueggers, or another mediocre Bagel place! 5+++++ Stars every time! Today I enjoyed an Eggand Cheese on a multi-colored Plain bagel! Superb! Was gone in two minutes flat! Read more
Very subpar. We thought the huge line and wall of awards thought they were good?and it wasn?t. The bagel themselves are good and... plethora of cream cheese was cool but the bacon egg and cheeses were awful. It?s literally microwaved bacon egg and cheese puton a bagel. Maybe I?m spoiled because I?m from nyc but I?m used to bacon on the grill fresh egg etc. Not microwaveable jimmydean bacon. Muffin saved the day it was super good?but this isn?t a muffin place it?s a bagel place. Read more
