"A widely popular breakfast destination in Porter Square, Bagelsaurus serves bagels with cream cheese and other spreads, bagel sandwiches, and coffee, with occasional specials. Go early, as the bagels can sell out fast." - Nathan Tavares
"A new-school bagel shop in Cambridge, known for its innovative bagel creations and popularity among locals." - Erika Adams
"We understand why the bagels at this Porter Square spot regularly sell out on weekends: they have a great crust, chewy interior, and just the right height, meaning your bagel sandwich won’t fall apart with each bite. We love the Classic Jumbo with sharp mustard butter, the herby Eggspañola with salty feta, and the hot smoked sandwich with the creamiest, smokiest salmon spread and zingy housemade pickled red cabbage. The shop is small and always packed with seemingly everyone who lives within a two-mile radius, but the wait is never chaotic here. Plan to get here before 10:30am or risk coming away empty-handed." - lala thaddeus
"A buzzy newer Cambridge shop whose bagels are highly sought after—weekend availability is so competitive that scoring one often requires planning days in advance." - Erika Adams
"Bagelsaurus has mastered the bagel sandwich in all its forms: with eggs, with meats, with cheese, and with frequent specials. The Eggspañola comes with chunks of feta cheese, a medium egg, pimenton aioli, and parsley gremolata, and you can push it over the edge by adding avocado. It comes with a choice of bagel and it’s great with an iced coffee in the summer (or whenever). For something a little meatier, try a hot or cold smoked-salmon bagel sandwich with onion and fresh dill." - Nathan Tavares
