Feldman's Bagels

Bagels are flavorful with good texture. The preparation however is incredibly disappointing and inconsistent. The order here is for a heavy spread of cream cheese and it doesn’t even cover the bagel to the edges. If you want a consistent order do not order from Feldmans.

Many people have a very particular preference when it comes to bagels. I will tell you I have had bagels from over 5 unique places in the county and Fedman's is my favorite for the quality of bagel. Some people prefer small dense Montreal style but that's not a true bagel in my opinion. I think Feldman's bagels are the perfect level of hardiness and flavor. The toppings they have are great. My only feedback is that when you get Avocado on your bagel they just spread what tastes like store bought guacamole over it.

Order BLT bagel this morning, this is how it looked when I arrived at work . Does it look like avocado? unbelievable So disappointed after coming in there for so many years.

The woman who works at Feldman‘s bagels, deserves a huge raise! She is a one woman show, never loses her cool, takes orders, answers the phone, toasts the bagels, makes the sandwiches. and does it all with a good sense of humor and a high level of courtesy if I could hire her away, I could. . She’s fantastic and so are the bagels.

One 1 teenager was working in the front for 11 customers. He was great and it Took 20min for a bagel. Also my same order was less big and more expensive than 2 other bagel shops in the area.

Every time I’ve gone to this space it felt like a stressful experience. I almost feel like I’m bothering the employees by being in there. The bagels are too dense and flavourless. We got sandwiches and despite telling the cashier that we’d like them toasted they were not. The veggies are cut very big making the veggie sandwich/creating your own very bad. Overall don’t recommend.

**Five-Star Review for Feldman’s Bagels** Feldman’s Bagels made my morning! Even though I placed an order online, I arrived early, and they went out of their way to make my everything bagel right away. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I ordered. On top of that, they complimented my jacket and made the whole experience feel extra special with their kind and helpful attitude. It's rare to find such warm customer service these days, and Feldman's definitely stands out. I’ll definitely be coming back for more great bagels and great vibes!

Doordashed a cinnamon raisin bagel, lightly toasted, with a heavy spread of maple walnut cream cheese. I hate to say it, but although it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t good either. The bagel was small, dense, and hard to bite into, and you couldn’t take a bite of it without it coming apart. I also felt like they sort of skimped on the cream cheese, especially when I ordered extra. However, I’m sort of glad that they didn’t add more as the cream cheese was more liquidy than creamy and overall just wasn’t it for me.

Great bagels, sandwiches, soups and above all - the best and must friendly service from Kirsten! This is a must stop for us now

I was not feeling that great physically so I decided to chill in my room this day and order some take out. I came across this place on DoorDash and thought, "Hmm they sound good." After doing a little research I found out that they do New York Style bagels, something I've never had. Why not try some while close to New York? I ordered a Lox Bagel Sandwich on Salted Garlic, Toasted Bagel, a small Coffee with Maple Syrup and Almond Milk and a Propel Water. That sandwich was everything and the salted garlic option was the best choice I could have made! The bagel while toasted was still so soft and tasted differently from every other bagel I've ever had. My mom would probably say "it's the water". Maybe she's right. I loved it. The coffee was delicious too. Everything Maple while in Vermont, right? Definitely worth the order and it made me feel a little better. Thanks a bunch!

We stay up in Colchester every summer and always make it a point to stop at Feldman's for a great, quick breakfast. There's always a variety of bagels and the cold brew hits everytime. I definitely recommend this place! We always have great service and i love that your food is brought to our seat.

The service was excellent and the assortment of bagels were great. My only comment is that while the bagels are of a good size, the bagel hole is so large that it's really tough to schmear and make a sandwich at least the way I like it. But that, notwithstanding, they were excellent bagels

Very poor customer service addressing a month old declined credit card that I had no idea even happened and which I immediately paid for, no questions asked. Feldmans lost a loyal customer today.

yum! we were starving and this place saved us. the girl taking orders was super friendly, the house coffee was very good, and the bagels hit the spot

They mess up every single time I have placed an order for pickup. They simply can't count. You order 48 bagels and only receive 44. You order 15 and only receive 12. Incredibly unprofessional and the manager accepts no responsibility.

I got here around 8:30 am on a weekday and this place was packed. I got a bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and it was really good. I'd come back again although I prefer Myer's Bagels simply because I love their Montreal Spice bagels.

Great Bagels . The baker was very friendly. Great Atmosphere. DELICIOUS Sesame w /Lox Bagel.!!!!!!!!!!

I have eaten here often enough to say Feldman's Bagels is trending downward fast. Seems they are out of everything very disorganized, and the facility lacks cleanliness. after two attempts I still could not receive what I ordered. I even watched the counter help hand a customer a take out order and tell the customer they had no bags sorry. It would save a lot of time if they just told you what they did have. Don't waste your time here,

I walked in for a lox bagel, and a plain on plain. I received two cream cheese bagels for $16.54, 10/10 Would return. (Not sarcasm) The bagels were great. Thank you for being open before 8 am.

After purchasing a dozen bagels for the second time in about 3 weeks from the Shelburne Rd store the second dozen was also very stale, not just stale, but so stale my bagel cutter had tough time getting through them. I called the Pine Street store, because I couldn't get through to Shelburne road store. The answer when I told them my problem was "Oh yes, I think they received yesterday bagels. I will call them and see what we can do" OK fine. When I received the reply "Well you can come to the Pine Street store and we will replace them" to which I replied " I am disabled, which I am and the parking loot is difficult for me to manage as it is on a slope." At which point I just said I would just get my bagels from their competition. I really answer would have been we will have someone bring up a fresh dozen either today or tomorrow. I would have been delighted with that. They do come up to Shelburne everyday to deliver "fresh" bagels. Under the circumstances that should have been the easy reply. They would have had a happy customer instead of a former customer.

No air conditioning. It's at least 85 degrees in the dining area. I can't believe the employees deal with this all day long. Imagine being in the back next to the oven baking bagels all day. This is inhumane.

If I could give no stars, I would. I went in for a bagel this morning (April 22) around 7:00 am, the manager (??) was there with his young son. He was loudly telling another staff member "No, don't fire her. Just put her on the schedule for one hour a week for the next month and make her quit that way". There is nothing less appealing than listening to a manager broadcast the crappy way they treat their employees, and it really gives some insight into why this restaurant may be "understaffed". Treat your employees with respect.

Lox and roll they say, so all four of us got the lox on either everything or whole wheat. Service was friendly and no frills, food came out quickly although it was late Saturday afternoon with only a few customers after all. Bagel sandwiches were good, and I just feel like I need to come back and try something different to see if they still deliver, which means they certainly did on this visit. I like the water dispenser and big clean bathrooms, and would like to return for something else. Oh, their olive and pimento cream cheese was awesome!

Okay bagel, tried the parmesan black pepper. It was neither peppery nor cheesy enough. Nothing special, coffee was okay.

Nice bagel place, with enough space to seat and hang out. Quick service. Nice big windows to seat at the bar and have your bagel and a coffee.

Had two great breakfast sandwiches at the Shelburne location today. The guy running the place was friendly and kept the line moving! For a one man show it was impressive!

I tried every bagel shop in Burlington and surrounding areas. This one is the best. The Bagels are delicious and the coffee is great. The store has a cozy cafe feel to it. Bagel sandwiches are good too.

Again a terrible experience here today...I tried ordering a roast beef sandwich but they were out so then I tried ordering the soup they had listed on their menu and the online menu and was quickly informed that they have no soup but they will at some point... newsflash people don't falsely advertise something when you don't have it...bring back Breuggars please.

Growing up in NY and NJ, I have been blessed with an overabundance of excellent bagels. Yet with this blessing comes the dreadful curse that no bagel outside the NY metro area could ever compare. I've had bagels in Florida (blech), Chicago (ehhh), Puerto Rico (no thanks) with no luck. With that being said: I introduce you to Feldman's Bagels in Burlington, VT. I have been coming to this city for over 30 years with the better of bagels at Bruegger's which was no comparison to local establishments in NYC, but Feldman's is a welcomed site. The staff are friendly and the eating area is clean with nice paintings hung for all to see. Enjoy....Yums!!!!

Well...sorry but YUCK! Fruit flies everywhere in the middle of winter. No milk or cream for horrible coffee. Staff was very slow and non enthusiastic. I will not be back!

Amazing bagels - got the onion bagel with cream cheese and a sliced tomato on top. They had three different Tofutti cream cheese flavors which was convenient for those who are dairy free and it tasted great. Really great quality, everything looked very clean inside and very covid safe - all workers wearing masks/gloves etc. Recommend this as a place to stop!

I used to pick up bagels on each of my NYC trip, but I don't need to do that anymore. Feldman's is the closest thing I have found to NYC bagels. I've tried the different brands of bagels that are available through Hunger Mountain Food Coop, City Market, Burlington Bagel, etc. I wouldn't compare these the Myer's Bagel... Montreal Style Bagels are a totally different beast (also delicious). Feldman's is about 1.3 miles from my office, and it's totally worth the walk! I've also gotten their whitefish bagel sandwich and matzo ball soup.

Meh. They switched the bagels between the sig other and me, the person ahead of us had asked for a toasted bagel and got Un-toasted. Generally unimpressed, I think Bagels Plus has a better selection.

The best bagels on earth. There really is nothing else that needs to be said. Great staff and atmosphere. My favorite bagels here: 1. Asiago 2. Everything 3. Garlic The maple walnut cream cheese is wonderful. Also, try the breakfast bagel sandwich, so tasty! To top it all off, the prices are extremely reasonable.

We enjoy these bagels but every single time we order something goes wrong. We order online and it says the order will be a half hour until it's ready, which is fine. However they don't start making the order until they "accept" it. This time, it took them 48 minutes to accept even though it was supposed to be done in a half hour. If we go in, they tell us they just didn't see the order. And then SOMETIMES we get a call telling us they are out of something, but most of the time they don't tell us until we get there, so we again have to wait for them to put our order together. Almost every time we go they are out of something we want. At 10am they shouldn't be running out of things. Or.... The order is just wrong. Last time, they tried giving my order to the person in front of me. This is so disappointing, especially because we keep giving them chances hoping that it will be better but it doesn't. I think they need a new process or more competent staff. They are usually friendly but not very helpful.

Originally written and posted from a duplicate on 5/3/2013: The bagels are the real deal and it's the only place that offers bialys. I was impressed as they got it right from the start. The staff is friendly. It just reminds me of my hometown in Lower East Side Manhattan with authentic NY style bagels. If you didn't eat a NY style bagel in NY from a Jewish bakery or eat a H&H bagel, you have not eaten a real bagel or a bialy. Update: I go here less frequently, maybe every few months, because the bagels are okay but not as good as the owner's previous shop called Burlington Bagel Bakery & Cafe in South Burlington. I go into Feldman's if I don't want to travel far for a bagel.

What makes Feldman's unique is the size of the bagel not overly large, not small mind you, just not gigantic. Perfect for sandwiches. They have great veggie sausage as a vegetarian much appreciated. Great service and the atmosphere is retro industrial. Only minus is the parking. But have never not gotten a space. Just minutes from downtown and the waterfront. A must stop for breakfast.

Whoever rated this place four stars is a chump. I was so hungover before I came here and now I am only slightly hungover. Job well done Feldman's.

Love Feldman's!! Great NY style (from a born and raised New Yorker) bagels. The olive and herb is amazing. Better bagels than that *other* Pine St bagel locale: there, I said it.

the inside of the shop didn't seem the cleanest and the bagels themselves were chewy and airy like Burlington Bagel. The cream cheese was fine, but obviously not homemade. Overall, there are much better bagel options within 5-10 minutes

Mainly a bagel and coffee place, there is a small menu for sandwiches but for the price, I wouldn't recommend getting a breakfast sandwich here. If you're coming here for breakfast definitely try out the medium selection of interesting bagel and cream cheese fillings. The size if the bagels is roughly medium size, which for me was kind of disappointing. I got the pumpernickel bagel with walnut honey cream cheese filling, it was tasty but wasn't exactly delicious. Coffee is of standard taste. I recommend going here for an easy breakfast date with someone since the ambiance is great, lots of lighting, and there's a place for dogs outside, but that's about it.

The bagel was good, the coffee was alright, the staff was friendly, but the damn WiFi was down. I came to Feldman's to get some work done while enjoying a bagel and coffee. I made sure to ask if there was WiFi and then it wasn't working. Obviously this isn't their fault, but beware that their WiFi is unreliable. Don't get all set up to do work only to have to pack up and head elsewhere like I did.

This place is a shadow of what it was. Prices up, quality down, and the restaurant was filthy.

Not the same since ownership changed.... the cream cheese tastes different (kind of sour) & overall it's not as clean and tidy.

This is a great bagel place and I usually have great service here, But how are you out of everything bagels on a Saturday and it isn't even noon yet? When I said "Really?" The young man at the counter said "what you see is what we got."

The bagels are the best. My sandwich was fine. BUT, The staff person at shelburne rd at lunchtime (Friday) was barely present. Iwhen I came in, I seem to have interrupted him doing something on his phone. He spoke to me in monotone and was back on his phone before I was out the door....clearly didn't seem to want to be there. Needless to say, I left no tip...which probably pissed him off!

They don't hold a candle to Myers but the bagels are pretty decent. The bialys are what stand out for me, delicious!

Feldman's is the perfect Burlington Bagel. I know there are fan bases for every local bagel place in the area, and with that knowledge I am very much a fan of Feldman's. After trying the other area bagels in the area for years, Feldman's arrival was no surprise. The real surprise was the taste and texture of the bagels. They are markedly different from the other area bagels. The bagels here seem to be the definitive bagel that I have always wished for. The bagels are true bagels - much like bagels available in other much larger eastern seaboard cities. Please be sure to stop in here and first try a bagel with some cream cheese before branching out into sandwiches or other more adventurous combos.

Best bagel shop in town. They've got a great menu that is pretty straight up. They don't mess around with asiago, dill or raisin stuff. The bagels are the perfect size and are perfectly chewy. Everything is my favorite. It's got salt on it and I think it's a nice touch. Another nice touch is that they hit it with butter after it's toasted. I don't need the butter but no way am I going to tell them to stop. And I love that the bathrooms aren't gendered. A huge pet peeve of mine is when a business has single stall bathrooms that are designated as Men and Women. I'll use whichever is open first but it freaks people out when I come out of the "wrong" one. So thanks for not messing around with that nonsense.

Bagels as they should be! Great selection of bagels, cream cheeses, and bagel sandwiches.

Generally I've been pretty happy with Feldman. Growing up in NY I have a pretty good basis for what makes a good bagel. Last Sunday 7/23/17 was a colossal disappointment. The salt bagels were burned beyond edibility. I couldn't tell the difference between the cinnamon raisin and the blueberry because they had neither raisins or blueberries in them. I hope they were just having a bad day, but the front end staff should never sold this batch. They went straight into the trash bin.

Would you want to eat out of a used shoebox? Of course not. That's why I like Feldman's. If you are looking at Feldman's from Cumberland Farms and are thinking of eating some s***ty danish or pre-made something from Cumby's, just don't. This place is clean clean clean. I would eat off the counters if they let me. The staff are friendly, the food is great. I mean, it's tough to mess up a bagel-based breakfast, but businesses somehow manage to do this. Feldman's is just a nice place to grab breakfast or a light lunch. What you see is what you get. There is no variation in coffee, however, but like I said. Simple. Do not overlook in lieu of Myer's or Skinny Pancake...you won't be disappointed!

I used to think that bagels were just a bulky vehicle for cream cheese. Feldman's Bagels opened in my work neighborhood, and I have since seen the light! Their bagels are amazing, the staff is consistently kind, friendly and patient. The space is airy and comfortable. On top of that, they make their own pickles, bagel dogs and soup! The matzo ball soup is worth it's weight in gold! I have taken to bringing it to any friends who get sick. The coffee is great, and my boys love that they can get hot chocolate! Thank you Maddy and Roy. You're a great neighbor. Ita

When I first arrived in Burlington, in the 1970's, there were no locally made NY style bagels. I returned from every trip home to NJ with a few dozen frozen bagels, the best I could do, but definitely a compromise. When Roy Feldman opened the original Burlington Bagel Bakery in 1979, my prayers were answered This New England college town spawned other bagel shops, not surprising, given the large population of students and settlers hailing from the NYC area. The BBB was sold after about 9 years. Roy, with his daughter Maddy, opened Feldman's Bagels in 2013, in a former tire store. I'm as fond as ever of their authentic, crispy crusted traditional fare, along with other delights from my childhood; bialys, chicken soup with matzoh balls, kosher salami sandwiches, and more. A variety of spreads, including a yogurt softened light cream cheese and a very tasty pesto cream cheese, cater to more contemporary palettes. Bright and airy, with a library cart full of books to peruse, Feldman's rejects the production line feel of many such establishments. Around back, the former garage bays of this converted tire store are being rented as studio spaces for local artists, furthering the exploding dynamism of Burlington's south end arts district. Well done, Feldmans!

We wanted to get breakfast at a place nearby but they were out of eggs on a Saturday morning. GUH! Almost in tears and on the verge of screaming at each other out of denied-breakfast-anguish, my mom, Andrew, and I spotted Feldman's from the car and decided to give it a try. We were very satisfied! They have a small but well-executed variety of breakfast and non-breakfasty bagel sandwiches (they let me add a fried egg to a BLAT), the coffee is good, and though the shop was small, there was no shortage of seating. I still don't understand why they gave us an order number and then proceeded to call out our order not with the number but thusly: "blatonaneverything veggieonpoppy and loxongarlicforhere" but now I'm just being nitpicky. Infinitely preferable to Bruegger's greasy fare. We shall return!

It seems that people have forgotten what a rating system is for and what it does. Giving one star for anything other than an abysmal experience is not on. Good bagels, I'm excited about bialys, and exceptionally friendly staff. I'm headed back again this morning.

I had high hopes for this place, but sadly was disappointed. The menu is subpar. We went for breakfast and the only option was egg, cheese and bacon or sausage. The everything bagel was drier than stale bread. It was not good. Apparently this is the new it place for hipsters, with crappy overpriced artwork on the walls. Seriously...$900 for a painting that looks like a toddler smeared paint on a canvas? The prices are insanely expensive. 4.20 plus tax for a breakfast bagel. Worst coffee ever too. Do yourself a favor and go to Bruggers.
