Davis Square Hand Crafted Donuts & Bagels

if they are open and haven't sold out, i try to always make a point to come here. literally the best, heartiest bagels i've ever had in my life- a bagel and schmear is enough to qualify itself as a full meal (and frequently does, for me!). that said, i recently branched out and got the HLT (hummus, lettuce, and tomato) with an egg, and the individual sandwich components proved to be every bit as fresh as the multigrain base i had ordered them on! davis handcrafted also offers the epitome of hospitality with their little sauce bar in the corner, providing sriracha for the customers of somerville despite the sauce's shortage. i've gotten the donuts via food for all before (which is also notable- not only is davis handcrafted a small business, but one that's making a point to reduce food waste) and they're sweet, decadent, and filling. the nutella-filled and somerville cream are both 'must-try's, and i'm sure i'd say the same about the pb&j if i could get my hands on one!the staff is always super nice, despite the place frequently being packed and, like many of the smaller eateries in davis, not quite having been built with the space intended to become a busier restaurant. that said, i think they manage a well-honed grab-and-go experience, and if you're seeking a brilliant bagel and similarly-shaped breakfast dessert, don't you dare look any further!

This place makes me sad because Camberville could really use a fast casual breakfast option, but I seem to keep striking out at Davis Sq Donuts...-Their bagels are overly chewy, bland, and simply don't taste fresh. They taste like Sodexo cafeteria bagels.-Because the bagels can get a little sad, I usually ask for mine toasted. But when the place gets busy, they forget that step. (And once the cream cheese or egg/etc. is on the bagel, it's not like you can toast it at home.)-Most bagel flavors are gone by 10am.To be fair, the donuts are better (and huge!), but I'm more of a bagel girlie. I'm just looking for a halfway decent bagel without the line of you-know-where down the street.

I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a Boston cream donut. Both were fabulous and both were the size of my freaking face! I'll be dreaming about this donut for years to come. The inside was clean and the employees were kind. I got there shortly after they opened and was able to sit upstairs and enjoy breakfast.

Love this place! The bagels are great quality and so fresh! Quick service as it always seems to be busy! I got the egg and cheese on an onion bagel and also tried a chocolate sprinkle doughnut! No pictures of the food, couldn't wait to eat them!

Best donuts I've had in the Boston area! You can order ahead for takeout, but not on the same day over the weekends. We didn't realize it until pretty late so we paid a premium to order pickup through GrubHub (each donut is $0.75 more). Nothing grinds my gears more than paying these markups and service fees, but it was worth it. We ordered Boston Cream, Jelly, Nutella and Oreo Cookie. The Oreo was good, but didn't fit my fancy. The others were all really good! A nice, soft dough with traditional fillings. I was so pleased that it didn't have that oily-fried-greasy flavor that so many others donut shops have. Also, they didn't try to make donuts "artisan" (looking at you, Blackbird). The donuts are so substantially sized that they could use a bit more filling to improve the ratio, because it's all about the ratios hahaIf only they delivered (we're out of the delivery zone, even through GH). Looking forward to trying other flavors next time.

I had the DSDB cubano and smoked salmon (lox) bagels. The DSDB cubano is interesting- i recommend it if you're a meat lover. I had the lox bagel with the honey cream cheese. My girlfriend was not a fan, but I really liked the sweetness it brought. I would definitely come back to have the lox bagel with honey cream cheese- and try something else along the way. I was only there for a short period of time- i came in at 10:30am on a Thursday. It looked like seating inside was unavailable (it was blocked off). My order came out at around 7-10mins. The cashier and cook were pretty nice; someone tipped and the cook gave him something for free, although I'm not sure what was inside (he asked if they liked salmon, and gave them a box of something). Overall this is a great local neighborhood bagel joint that im happy is by davis Square.

I've walked by this place several times in the evenings and finally got the chance to go there in the morning during their opening hours. There's a bagel shop back home that I go to religiously and I have the horrible habit of holding everything to that standard. What can I say? I'm a girl who loves good bagels.Their menu is abundant, offering classic breakfast sandwiches, as well as a wide variety of massive donuts. I ordered my usual: bacon, egg, and cheese on a sesame bagel. The serving was rather large, but filled me up well after my workout. I found the sandwich itself to be a little dry. They didn't put any butter or mayo on the toasted bagel prior to adding the egg. It seemed like the melted cheese was supposed to be its substitute, but it didn't really satisfy me.The bagel sandwich was simply okay. I was definitely impressed by the sizes of their bagels and donuts, but the overall sandwich did not deliver. I did see a man eating a bagel topped with cream cheese, which looked good, so if anything, I'd come back to try that.

Craving an on the go breakfast? Look no further! The bagels are soft and the sandwiches are on point (love the pepperjack cheese). The donuts are large and indulgent and everything one could want. I highly recommend ordering ahead as this place gets busy! That said they handled custom breakfast sandwiches for 25 people (on a week day) for my residency program with incredible precision!

Solid doughnuts and bagels. If you love a classic doughnut, this is the place. They have both cake and yeast options and a few fun flavors like strawberry fruity pebbles and maple glazed with bacon. By the time we got there by noon, a lot of the options were gone though. We also got the salmon lox bagel. Warning - the salted bagel does come loaded with salt. You get a lot of lox and cream cheese as well so it gets real messy but it's a tasty mess.

Amazing service and bagels! Love the jalapeño cheddar bagel. Make sure to go early as they sometimes sell out!
