Bagel Central

The reviews really reflect how good this place is!

I am in agreement. The location is large and well decorated with plenty of indoor seating if you are sticking around.

The food is well priced, we ordered to bagelwiches and shared them.

The bagels were fresh and soft, the eggs were well cooked and the cheese pulled and had great chew.

The coffee is the best we have had on our travels through the area, beans were not burnt at all, lots of punchy taste in a cup.

Parking is street only, but walkability is excellent on the downtown area.

This is an excellent cafe! They have one of the best bagels I have ever tasted, and consistently so. There is a good variety of different cream cheeses as well as a lot of dietary options. In the front they also have many different baked goods and pastries. (everything made in house) I wasn't sure if this place was just local hype, but I assure you, it is amazing and a must visit for any bagel fan.

I have not been up the east coast through Bangor for a few years before COVID so I was elated to see this local bakery had survived the decimating affect of that crazy time.
A cruise around the block a few times to find a parking spot on a cold March morning was rewarded by the energy of the crowded rooms, the gorgeous baked goods (I wish I could have one of EACH!!!) and the flavours wafting out of the kitchen.
I went for the EVERYTHING BAGEL with the SALMON LOX schmear and it was massive ...and delicious...and lasted me all the way to New Brunswick!!! (I checked my records when I got home and I SHOODA ordered the ONION !!!)
i will return next time FAMISHED and gorge myself with some take-away baked goods as well.
Thanks to all at CENTRAL BAGEL for still being there and for a truly memorable bagel!!!!.

The food is always spectacular! There’s gluten free options for the bagels too which is great!!
Highly recommend the feta and spinach omelette on a bagel 🤌🏻 and the home fries are delicious!
I Love coming here!

Make sure to get a bagel! And a sweet for your way out. Everything on the menu slaps. All the bagels and cream cheese options (so many and some rotating!!) are amazing. This place is a MUST for breakfast and if there’s a line it’s worth the wait.

Perfect place to also get work done in the less busy hours with some comfort food.

I honestly LOVE their potato salad and would kill for the recipe!!

Wonderful fresh bagels and food. Great selection of foods! Wonderful service, but a bit slow during rush hour on a holiday. Close to university, so a strong population of students fills the facility at lunch time. Crowd can be noisy, but not generally rowdy.

This place is awesome. Wonderful staff, cozy environment and amazing food. I'm only in Bangor for temporary work for most fun contract I've had and have heard great things about this place.

Best bagel ever! They’re so fresh & soft. I liked the vegetable cream cheese alot.
Must try if you’re ever in Bangor.

Stopped in for some lunch. You walk to the counter, place your order, and go seat yourself. Your receipt has a number on it. When they call your number you go pick up your tray or take out bag. Very easy. They have a pretty good selection of food, beverages etc. Everything we had was nice and fresh. The woman who took our order was nice and helpful. There was plenty of seating… some counter space, some smaller tables and some community tables. It’s an easy place to get to and there was street parking available.

Stopped in here to grab some breakfast bagels. The reviews were correct. This place was great. The food was tasty and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Their bagels are delicious but what stuck out the most to me were the huge éclair I got here and the avocado omelette I had for breakfast that really filled me up. Ended up coming 3 times while I was visiting Bangor.

I absolutely love this place! I go to college in the area and was recommended Bagel Central for a good breakfast, it didn’t disappoint. The line was a little long but it goes super fast. Also very child friendly.

Absolutely amazing! It was very busy, line wrapped around so if you’re getting it to go, pay before you go in to help you not have to still wait in line to pay. I got the lox breakfast bagel, 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful food and great service. I get a weird air of pretentiousness when I dine in or even when I take an order to go. I'm sure it's not intentional but it's very unsettling.

AMAZING! they have an extremely wide variety with something for everyone!

My wife and I were in Bar Harbor when she heard about this place. So we drove a little over an hour and let me tell you it was well worth it! The food was absolutely amazing. So many different selections of items to choose from. Everything we tried was delicious! We most definitely will be back when we visit Maine again! 10/10

WOW this place is delicious and the lovely staff at the front were very helpful and welcoming. We ordered a raspberry cheese danish, a breakfast burrito, and some bagels for the road. This is by far the best cheese danish I’ve had the pleasure of eating — light, fluffy, flavorful, and BIG. Will definitely come back to this spot for breakfast/lunch again! Also, the Hungarian spread was fantastic with the everything bagel. Worth every penny.

Stellar bagels and muffins! I tried one of the bagel sandwich specials and loved it. The blueberry muffin was also fantastic.

Loved the atmosphere! Great bagels and you have to try the potato salad! The Blueberry bagel was great, it has a hint of blueberry and still pairs great with the cream cheese. The Poppyseed bagel is a house favorite and sells quick. The Scallions cream cheese is a personal favorite of mine and I get it with every bagel.

It's a cozy shop downtown that I've loved forever. I sat there enjoying my half moon cookie and onion bagel with my parents and daughter and had a wonderful time. They are fast and efficient in the ordering system and have a huge selection of amazing food.
