Exodus Bagels

Hands down, the *best* bagel I've ever had in my life. Seriously, I didn't think bagels could be this good until I tried Exodus Bagels. I'm still dreaming about the perfectly chewy, yet tender texture and the insane flavor. If you're in Boston and love bagels, this is a must-try.First, let me set the scene. Exodus Bagels is tucked away in an alley, so don't expect a fancy storefront. It's definitely more of a hidden gem vibe. There's no dine-in option, so you'll be grabbing your bagels to go, which honestly adds to the charm. You're literally picking up your bagels from a place that feels like a well-kept secret.Now, onto the bagels. They are legit next level. I went with a classic - salt bagel with cream cheese and deliciously thick cut bacon - and was completely blown away. The bagel was fresh, warm, and had that perfect golden crust on the outside with a chewy, flavorful interior. The seasoning was on point - not too salty. The cream cheese was so creamy, and the portion was generous without being over-the-top.I also tried their lox bagel and wow. The lox was fresh, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and they added just the right amount of toppings: capers, pickled red onion, and a bit of dill. Every bite was balanced, and the bagel held up the whole time without getting soggy - a true testament to how well-made it was.But beyond the food, what I really love about Exodus is the energy. Even though it's takeout-only, the staff is super friendly and helpful. You can tell they're passionate about what they do, and it shows in the quality of their bagels.A couple of things to keep in mind: It's popular, so there can be a bit of a wait, especially on weekends, but it's totally worth it. And since there's no seating, you'll have to find a spot nearby to enjoy your bagel (which honestly makes it a great grab-and-go breakfast if you're exploring the city).If you're a bagel lover or just appreciate great food in general, do yourself a favor and check out Exodus Bagels. You'll thank yourself later!

The bagels are pretty good for Boston but compared to NJ/NY they aren't memorable. I really want to like this but unfortunately a few things are stopping this from being 5 stars. 1) it's about an hour wait from when you order, so always order online as that's how majority of their orders come in. 2) My sandwich order was wrong and missing 3 items I paid extra to have on there. It definitely needed salt and pepper, but that's just my preference as I do not like unseasoned eggs. 3) The pate was the most disappointing part and made me and my friend gag. It also had a hard texture and was crumbly instead of spreadable. I highly recommend not ordering it. There was something extremely off about it

What a hidden gem! Exodus Bagels is tucked at the end of a dead end road and has the cutest little order and pickup window. They have a great menu with options ranging from breakfast sandwiches to lunch options to bagels by the dozen. Also - love the coffee from Tandem in Portland, ME :)I ordered a sausage egg and cheese on a sesame bagel - the bagel was light and crispy and the sausage was very tasty - lots of spiced flavor. My husband got the Monumental, which was very yummy as well - and messy! The service was friendly and they were able to get our order out without too much of a wait. Be aware that there are no restrooms or much of a seating area. There are a few outdoor chairs, but today was rainy so we just took the food to go. Also heads up that there is a 13% "admin fee" added to every order so they can pay their employees fair wages. I fully support fair wages...and I also support transparent pricing. There were numerous signs about this fee, so I was aware before paying. However, why not just charge more for menu items?? It's not very upfront and as a customer I'd rather just see transparent pricing so I know what I'm paying instead of trying to calculate the 13% in my head. In all, would definitely come back!

Exodus bagels is one of the only bagel shops in Boston that I actually, genuinely enjoy. It's always a "yes" as opposed to most other places where I debate if it's worth the subpar bagel experience and wasted calories. For anyone who's read my reviews of other bagel places, I'm pretty harsh and picky, so this means a lot haha No, they're not NY bagels, but they are soft, chewy and flavorful. They also have a nice assortment of bagel and cream cheese flavors, which they apply quite generously. Online ordering is also clutch to avoid waiting. Minus one star for:- hours (closed Monday/Tuesday and only open until 1pm other days)- it's not uncommon for them to run out of bagels well before 1pm, therefore kinda cutting their hours short. Bagels start running out usually by 10am, sometimes earlier - bagels aren't cut in half....why?

Great artisan bagels. A bit pricey and you have to order online, so requires a a bit of planning. But overall, would recommend. Glad this place is in Rozzie!

Exodus is consistent. It's been more than 4 years since I last had a bagel from here and it delivers. The one thing this time: I asked for light on the cream cheese and I literally got enough cream cheese for three bagels. It's not a deal breaker but just be cautious and maybe ask for it on the side. I'll try that next time. Crispy, lighthearted bagels that are really just excellent!!

Not only were they closed at 1:00, they posted on the order window that they have added a 13% mandatory fee. WHAAAA???!!!! In these days of tip creep, this takes the cake ... well the bagel! It took the bagel right out of my consideration for Exodus. While their food quality IS most certainly stellar, they've always been a chore to get to with their wonky location, IMPOSSIBLE parking and walk up window only with zero seating, not even a bench, so eating a delicious but expensive lunch in the car, and inconvenient hours AND now they're essentially saying, ' even with our tip top pricing, we do not pay our staff enough, so YOU have to supplement our stingy wages with an additional 13% fee ' !! SHOCKING !! So, with all of the inconvenience, insanely short hours, zero parking, zero seating, AND 13% more-that broadcasts they do not pay their workers enough, I'm done. Never again will I go to the extraordinary effort of overcoming so many obstacles to get bagels. Buh-Bye. Off I went to the Sharon Korean a few blocks away for a 10 star dining experience! My new go-to in 'Westie!' YumAZING food, super sweet service that's 1/2 counter 1/2 table service that brings the cooked to order meal WITH a carafe of water and a cool metal cup to the table, with a note that says 'do not clear your table, we do that' AND a good old fashioned ELECTIVE tip, that I was thrilled to generously add. Sharon Korean also has tons of seating with an awesome vibe & super easy parking on Centre Street.

Let me just say... I have not visited the location personally, however a dear friend of mine works up that way & has known my passion for bagels. This kind man thoughtfully brought me 2 everywhere bagels & cream cheese from Exodus yesterday. At this very moment I can't find my socks because they were blown right off my body at such a rapid pace when I took my first bite!!! Unreal! In every way & form of bagel heaven, from a true worshiper...Thank you for making THE BEST bagels around!

Stay away they add well over 10% as a administration charge.. HOW SLEAZY CAN YOU BE!!!

The bagels are outstanding! The server is great...the team goes above and beyond even when they are tight on staff! Can't wait for the cafe
