Unique bagel sandwiches, spreads, coffee, and local vibe























"In Harvard Square, I saw that Black Sheep Bagel Cafe at 56 JFK St. opened to offer bagel sandwiches, cream cheese, coffee, and pizza bagels while positioning itself as a locally run alternative to franchise brands; founders Shoshanah Garber and Manny Ramirez spent months building out the space — painting the exterior, preparing a small patio, and even building the interior tables — and the shop features an adorable mascot and a community-minded gathering-place vibe." - Eater Staff

"Now in its sixth year, Black Sheep Bagel has made itself a Harvard Square staple and expanded with a little market space in Cambridgeport, which is a short walk to the scenic Charles River Esplanade. Treat yourself to a variety of bagel flavors here, including flavors like cajun spice and za’atar." - Valerie Li Stack
"This below-ground bagel spot in Harvard Square essentially functions as a coffee shop. There’s a good amount of seating, free wifi, and a selection of coffee that also includes cafe con leche. Except at Black Sheep, you also get the added bonus of ordering something like the avocado toast on a cajun bagel with a side of beer or wine. The only downside is that it closes at 3pm during the week." - Joel Ang

"A locally opened bagel cafe that launched last summer, representing recent neighborhood growth amid an influx of out-of-town chains and area redevelopment." - Dana Hatic

"Opened last month in Cambridge’s Harvard Square, Black Sheep Bagel Cafe serves a mix of open- and closed-faced bagel sandwiches." - Dana Hatic
