Balsam Bagels

I’m ready to say this is by far the best place to get bagels in Rochester! Huge variety, and the bagels are fresh with the perfect crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Lots of homemade cream cheese options. They also bake a wide variety of goods and have discount pricing on day old items. Prices are great and service is super quick. Of all the bagels we tried the Montreal everything bagel was my favorite because of it softer bread and slightly sweeter flavor. Another note is they put a ton of cream cheese on the bagel which is great but also offer a discounted price for those who don’t want so much cream cheese.

Wonderful is all I can say

You're not coming for service or atmosphere. These are the best bagels in the town. It is a bummer the don't open to 7 or 8 am soi can't typically get this before work.

Amazing bagels! My sister and I came yesterday near closing and they were all out of fresh bagels so we got to take some of the day old bagels. Today we came back and had the most amazing service, such kind staff and super tasty bagels with unique flavours. Will definitely be back!!

Excellent selection of bagels and cream cheese, fresh and homemade, friendly amd patient staff. A local favorite!

I visit them every time I come to Rochester and am never disappointed. Keep up the good work!

Nice little bagel shop, somewhat dated in its fit out, but there is plenty of seating and the service is very friendly. The bagels are decent but a lot of the hot toppings are microwaved or quickly reheated which I don’t love. But it does make for quick service. Which is what the business is about; decent bagels quickly served, and mainly for pickup.

Delicious bagels and kind service.
