Middlebury Bagel & Delicatessen

NYC visitors should get bagels only in NYC. This great place has the BEST doughnuts in VT or NYC. And it’s owned by a great local family which strongly supports the community. How could anyone give only 3 stars?

There are not enough words to describe how great this place is but here’s a few. My wife and I have been there many times, you are treated like family. The food is second to none. My wife and I love this place. Try them just once and you will be hooked for life.

This place is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Middlebury. It can be viewed for breakfast but the line moves fast. I ordered a vegetarian egg white omelette with spinach bagel and it was delicious! Others ordered the Egger which I would also recommend.
Everything is baked fresh and you can tell. I’ve been raised in Jersey bagels so this place brings some tough competition. There are a large variety of bagel although slightly smaller than they average bagel they are just as delicious.

The bagels here are really nothing special but it’s not a bad stop for a quick breakfast! Donuts are great.

Was visiting Middlebury to get in some cycling and stopped in here as we were leaving. What an amazing place!
Hands down the best bagels I’ve ever had in New England! Ordered a breakfast sandwich — just amazing. The service was also wonderful — over the top kind.
Quaint atmosphere as well, not the typical New York City bagel shop which is more reminiscent of the Wall Street trading floor than a place to buy food.
Highly recommended. Will definitely be returning the next time I’m in town.

The Middleberry Bagel is a staple in this town. Go there early to avoid the lines especially on a weekend or else you will be hanging out behind hung over college people and little kids going to T-​ball practice. The bagels are made daily and delicious, the bagel sandwiches are exceptional, the breakfast sandwich aptly armed, Bagelegger, is the staple. But pancakes and standard breakfast fare also do the trick. Donuts are the best in town and make Dunkins pale in comparison.

I grew up in Middlebury, eating here regularly. I now live in Burlington, where food options are more plentiful and varied, however I still have yet to find a meat, egg and cheese bagel sandwich that measures up to the Bagelegger.
Big fluffy fresh bagels, generous slathers of house-​made cream cheese, classic large omelettes and fast friendly service make this the go-​to casual breakfast spot in Middlebury.

Awesome donuts, bagels and cream cheese. Huge coffee selection as well including Skeeter & Earls which is awesome.

Pretty good donuts, bagels are the best though pretty good selection too. The people are super friendly and the are fair. Only thing that could uses some work is the time it takes to get your food, for two bagel sandwiches not toasted and with only three things on it took a bit. The food was defiantly worth the wait though.

Nice place to get breakfast or lunch. Bagels are very good and there’s a good variety of flavors. Menu is interesting. We had the bagel with lox and an «Egger» for breakfast and we were both satisfied. I’ve had the donuts and they are also very tasty. Only downside-​cash or checks only.

Awesome bagels. I had an egg cheese and peppers and onions. It was a great portion for $ 4 and the perfect start to the day.

Sue, her mom and myself came here for breakfast on Halloween morning. Her family knows the folks who own this place and we ended up talking for them a bit while we were here. It is great to be in a part of the country where everyone seems to know everyone else.
She and I split one of their omelets with a pumpkin bagel on the side. We also splurged and got a Maple Cream donut as well because they looked so damn good. They were damn good. They also usually have fresh cream donuts which I would have loved to try, but they were out of them on this visit.
It was so nice of them to split our meal in half. Completely unexpected and you don’t really see that all that often in this day and age. A good local establishment run by honest local folks.

I think I’m tripping on something and I can no longer feel love? I’m seeing a lot of good reviews. To be fair, I will continue visiting this place as long as I live. I affectionately call it «The Worst Bagel Shop in the World». Every time I go here, my journey goes wayward and I must journey off of the beaten path of taste in order to fill my stomach.
When I first visited here, they told me that only two types of bagels were available for purchase — «Salt & Pepper» and «Cinnamon Sugar». What? Neither of those are flavors that bagels come in. They did have normal cream cheese, and also some «Tomato» cream cheese that had the consistency and visual appeal of a bad salmon. But I ate it anyway, and I did not feel sick afterward. My bagel was black with pepper — perhaps my soul is also black, which is preventing me from finding this restaurant to be the profound source of joy that others find it to be?
My next visit was better — they still didn’t have any of my first three choices (forget Everything. it might be the most popular flavor of bagel to ever exist, but this place hides it from me whenever I walk through the door?). I wound up with garlic, which is okay. When I asked for a napkin, they gave me a stack of napkins so tall that it will last my house for weeks!
Credit cards are not an acceptable form of payment at this establishment. Usually this is not so bad, but prices are so high at the WBSitW that you will need to be pre-​approved for a payment plan if you are to afford a breakfast meal. If your credit is bad, try Dunkins.

donuts are okay, the bagels are much much better!
go early b/​c they can sell out of bagels. We get a dozen a couple times a week when we’re up at our camp. It’s convenient next to the Co-​op for getting bagels for breakfast and sandwiches.

Color me surprised to find totally decent bagels in the middle of Vermont.
These would be 80^th percentile bagels in New York City. Not «oh my god this is the best bagel I’ve ever had» (that would be Absolute Bagels on Broadway and 107, on a busy weekend morning when the line is out the door and the bagels are constantly coming out hot from the oven), not quite Ess-​a-​bagel either, but definitely on par with H&H. Nice chew, a little bit dense, good toppings (though they really need to add a touch of salt to the «everything» mix).
More deli-​style fillings than bagel shop-​style fillings, only a small assortment of cream cheese, and I didn’t notice any lox or whitefish or egg salad, but the eggs are done nicely, and they used a really really yummy breakfast sausage patty.
All in all, they put in an excellent effort here, and the results are totally respectable. If most non-​NYC bagel places were this good, the rest of America would be better off.
(Man, I miss going to Absolute every weekend…)

Not much to complain about here. Only one star off because they don’t take credit cards which can be inconvenient at times. However, the bagels are fresh and delicious as well as their other breakfasts which include basically everything you can find at a regular diner.
Fresh taste, good prices, lots of tea and coffee to choose from. Boy does it smell good in there!

Best doughnuts, homemade, from scratch, from an honest, family owned business (try THAT at Dunkin’s, «John S.»!) Totally crave-​able breakfasts, but don’t be afraid to try a bagel sandwich for lunch either. Go early for the best selection– things sell out.
