Palm Beach Bagel Bakery & Restaurant

I can’t believe I haven’t written this review sooner.
My wife and I started going there a few weeks back and have been back several times already. Food is always awesome and tasty. I’ve tried a few of their omelettes (nova, greek, western, spanish) and I’m always impressed.
The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable.
My only criticism is they run out of some of the side dishes (grits/​oatmeal) before closing time, and I’d advise NOT wearing your Sunday best as you may come out smelling like the grill. It’s by all means not overwhelming, but what you could expect from any traditional independent diner (you know, like the late night ones that you’d go back to in New York, maybe when you were a kid if your old like me — those kind of places pretty much exist only in late night fiction. now)
Anyways…worth a trip, and as alluded, reasonable/​great value. Will post pix soon… enjoy!

I was so happy when I discovered this restaurant on my way to work one morning. I know the bagels are good at their other location, so I figured they would be the same here. Sadly I was wrong.
On my first visit I ordered a scooped pumpernickel bagel with scallion cream cheese. My bagel was not scooped, not a big deal but when I noticed that there was a minimal amount of cream cheese on my bagel, I admit I was annoyed. I don’t mean they just put a light schmear on my bagel, I basically had no cream cheese. Seriously, I opened the bagel to eat it open face and the cream cheese was barely visible.
Second visit I ordered the same thing but reminded them to scoop the bagel. This time my bagel was perfect and since I actually had a taste of the scallion cream cheese I can say that it was pretty good. I also tried the apricot and raspberry rugelach and both pieces tasted dry and stale. I was disappointed but I didn’t need the calories anyway so oh well, it wasn’t meant to be.
Third visit and this is where they lost the third star, the place was not clean. I walked in and looked around and walked out. The floors were sticky and there were crumbs all over the counter so I made the decision to leave and grab something at Einsteins instead.
Maybe they were having an «off» day, but a dirty restaurant is a non-​negotiable for me. I will not be returning anytime soon.

Great local bagel place. Lox eggs onions and their scallion cream cheese is a must.
When in Boca Raton FL and hungry for breakfast get there!
Their staff is also extremely professional and friendly.

Very good, just not great. Had the nova, cream chees, sesame bagel. Great little family place to get a good meal. My friend eats here all the time and she loves it. My nova and bagel was better than anything I can get in Atlanta, believe me. Husband had the Rachel. He said it needed more Pastrami. Service was very good. I will be back for a bite with a friend the next time I am in Boca. BTW everything was very fresh and they try hard to please.

You know why I like this place, they have real Splenda!
Good food and everything that I like to get. Fair prices and NICE servers!

My husband, my father and I go here for breakfast every single day before work and we will only be served by Elysse! We get the 2−2−2 breakfast special because it beats any fast food chain by far and takes only about 20 minutes total from order to check out but we like to sit and relax for a little a drink our coffee. Elysse is by far the best server! She is witty and light hearted and makes our morning fun and we feel like family! I can see how people might take her jokes or sarcasm in the wrong way but that just means she likes you! She really is the best! Whatever we ask for she gets it right away, she’s a very hard worker and you can tell she really cares about her regulars. If you come here you will be treated like family!

Amazing breakfast sandwich. Orders come out correctly and are delivered fast. Not to mention, Gilmar, the man that delivers our food is extremely nice and courteous! Thanks Gilmar and Palm Beach Bagel :)

This is our go-​to place for breakfast when my wife and I are in Boca. The breakfasts and bagels have always been great, service has always been friendly. Honestly I’m a bit shocked by all the 1-​star reviews, but we’ve been there enough over the last few years that I don’t think we just got lucky. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars for me is that it can occasionally be a bit slow.

I ordered a toasted wheat bagel with ham, egg and cheese and a coffee; pretty simple order. It took soooo long to get and the restaurant wasn’t even busy. I can not stress enough how long I waited. After a long time and my order coming out wrong the first time I had to ask for my coffee while I waited and they put enough sugar in it to send someone into diabetic coma. My sandwich originally came out on a white bagel, not wheat so they did try correct it but failed the second time too. When they brought it back it was not toasted. At this point I couldn’t wait anymore and decided I would just eat it. At this time I realized the egg and ham were tiny and definitely not worth the price. I was extemly disappointed. There are a lot of great places to get a bagel sandwich in Boca and I expected more from this popular place.

I have ordered lunch from here a few times, and keep giving them a chance to disappoint me. Today is the last time. I ordered a BLT on wheat, not toasted, with a side of fruit instead of fries or slaw, and a cup of chicken soup with a matzo ball. The bread was so stale and hard it completely fell apart and there was maybe two strips of bacon broken into bits so as to appear like there was more. There was an oversized leaf of romaine that was practically all spine and one puny tomato slice. Mayo came in sealed plastic tubes and the pickle looked like someone has cut off the old edges. Don’t even get me started on the tiny cup of fruit. I took a couple of bites and the whole sandwich came apart in my hands. For this, I paid over $ 12, not including tip. With so many choices at lunch. I won’t ever eat here again.

Service is horrible. Eye rolls and no one greeting us for 15 minutes. And when the waiter says fresh squeeze, what he really meant was free squeezed in a bottle… WHAT?!

Best bagel place ever I lived in New York and had to move to boca just because the bagels are so amazing, Honestly best bagel place ever thank you and god bless

The food here is great, haven’t tried anything I didn’t like. Whomever cuts the bacon to fit the burger size is genius and deserves a raise. My only issue is that My Bacon, Egg, Cheese TURKEY burger costs more than a Bacon egg cheeseburger. Like $ 2 – 3 more. I cannot eat beef for religious reasons. Does turkey cost that much more? Or does switching out the patties cost that much?
Still gets 5 stars because the food itself is awesome. Delivery is pretty fast too.

Picked up bagels here about five days ago. A dozen for $ 9.50. Was a tad slow, but part of morning rush. Bagels on par with Flakowitz.

We stopped by, they have a big menu,
Elise the older loud server with bleached hair and the obnoxious laugh was pushy and rude!
When i asked her to give me a few minutes, she yelled loudly in a rude tone «he’s indecisive, give him an hour!»
So we ended up choosing the other server Kim who was really sweet.
The coffee was great –the food mediocre.
Unfortunately I can’t recommend this place
MENEU TOO BIG ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP ALL ITEM FRESH.
The good thing is, they have another breakfast place it called OPEN KITCHEN MEXT DOR, witch we tried a couple weeks ago and, it was 10 times better.
So PALM BEACH BAGLES to me it’s OUT OF BUSINESS, matter of time.

Best breakfast value in Boca! Friendly and attentive staff. I have been there for lunch as well many times. I eat there for breakfast every morning. A great way to start the morning.

How pathetic. They offer delivery service until 3 yet they send their drivers home at 2. What a bunch of assholes.

I come to this place with a friend of mine, pretty much every time I’m in Boca and really enjoy it. There bagels are amazing, the have wonderful breakfast sandwiches and specials. If you need a yummy breakfast while in town it’s definitely a great pick!

I was here with some friends and my wife Sunday. I had been here several times before and it was always good, however this time it wasn’t! The waitress was terrible and unfriendly. Took her 15mins to bring coffee refills and managed to mess up our entire order. The kitchen ran out of the bagels we ordered and decided to substitute them with whatever they wanted without even asking us after waiting nearly 40mins for our food. Please also note the place was only half full. I brought all the issues up to the manager and he basically did nothing except to finally get me a refill on my coffee. I hope this place gets their act together and get rid of the bad wait staff as most of them are really good. Oh and get a professional manager who actually manages and cares what customers think.

We come here on a very regular basis and really like
Enjoy it. Great prices, quality and speed of service. The hazelnut coffee is great and so are the breakfast specials. Everything is prepared as you ask and they have a great Bagel selection. The rainbow cookies on the way out also are awesome if you feel like splurging. It’s usually pretty packed but they get everything done quickly.
