Reviews
Forage offers a unique take on breakfast, and we give it a 5 out of 5 every time. The bagels are sourdough and wood-fired, and you can smell that delicious, toasty aroma the moment you walk in.
My personal favorite is the sea salt, it perfectly complements the tangy, chewy dough. The everything bagel is a bit different, with flavors like fennel. I’m not a fan of fennel, but my husband absolutely loves it.
This place is popular! So expect to wait in line, wait for your food, or wait for your online order. We plan for it, especially on weekends. Honestly, it’s often faster to drive over and order in person than to use the online system.
But good things come to those who wait and this place is worth it! When you walk in, you get to check out the rotating coffee specials (yes, you should order one) and the gorgeous row of pastries, a tasty bonus every time!
Note: While there is seating, this is predominantly a takeaway establishment, so plan to grab and go, or snag a seat if you’re lucky.
I stopped in to grab bagels for a long holiday drive tomorrow to see family in Northern Maine. Despite the snowy roads, I wanted to treat my family to my favorite bagels in Southern Maine. When I arrived, there were only 2–3 other customers, a seemingly calm morning before the holiday rush.
I asked for a dozen bagels and was told, “No, if you want that many bagels you can only preorder, per management’s request.” Stunned, I considered leaving, but I had just driven 30 minutes through snow and could see piles of bagels behind the counter.
I politely asked if I could at least get a half dozen, thinking maybe a dozen was too much. (It was odd feeling like I was ordering too many bagels at a bagel shop.) Again, they said no, so I asked to speak with a manager. There were no signs on the door or message on their website about this policy.
The General Manager, Phoebe, came over with a lot of energy and reiterated that due to holiday demand, they couldn’t sell me bagels and that I’d have to come back at 11 a.m. for leftovers. I explained that I wasn’t available then and had driven through snow to get these bagels. Her response? She told me she drove from Lewiston this morning and that I should “get over it.”
Completely taken aback, I said, “I just wanted bagels for my family, and this is how I’m treated by management?” She stormed behind the counter, threw a dozen bagels in a bag, charged me, and told me to leave.
This type of customer service is unacceptable. Forage makes some of the best bagels in Portland, but after today, I don’t think I’ll return. No one should be made to feel that way for simply trying to buy bagels at a bagel shop.
