Stopped by Cafe Fresh Bagel while traveling with my family and absolutely loved it. The bagels were fantastic and so fresh and delicious. Service was quick, my coffee was made perfectly, and the jalapeño cream cheese was hands down my favorite with real chunks of jalapeños throughout. I seriously wish I could bring that cream cheese home with me.
What really stood out was how they greeted locals by name. You can tell they genuinely build relationships with the community. The vibe isn’t fussy at all, just simple, really good food done right.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town.

This was my first time and I had a very good experience. From the minute I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile. This is very important to set the tone for any business.
I ordered a toasted everything bagel with lox spread and veggies. The bagel was fresh and tasty. The tomatoes actually tasted like fresh tomatoes! The fact that this stands out speaks to other businesses that may not use as fresh ingredients.
The lox spread has a nice texture and is subtly flavored. I would recommend that if you want a strong lox taste to also order their smoked salmon.
I also ordered a large iced coffee. The coffee was delicious and the large was gigantic, which made me very happy.
Accessibility: the staff is very attentive and quickly activated their ramp for customers needing special assistance.
The prices are also very good. I will definitely come back.

Cafe Fresh is a well known Bagel shop serving breakfast goods in the Needham area.
The staff are quite friendly and work really fast, moving the line along quickly and getting orders out within minutes even with how busy they are.
I got an everything bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese. The cream cheese isn’t too thick and goes well with the bagel, and the bagel is toasted to perfection. The breakfast sandwiches are also quite good as well, and they pair well with the bagels.

Amazing bagels and sandwiches. I got bacon egg and cheese on Asiago and Nova with no capers on onion.
You can call ahead to avoid line.

This place is fantastic!! The bagels are AMAZING, perfection every time. The sandwiches are also very tasty – my husband got a nova sandwich and I got roast beef, they were both delicious. 10/10 just what I needed when 41 weeks pregnant and waiting for my kid to show up.

Cafe Fresh is amazing! I am obsessed with their bacon and egg sandwich. It’s so simple but so delicious. The way they cook the egg hits in such a good way. The staff is awesome as well! Yes, it’s chaotic but it’s an old school bagel shop. It gets busy, but in the end I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here.

Very fresh bagles, simply delicious and customer friendly. Some reviews say that they rush you. The day we were there the line formed from the front door to the back of the store and it was nonstop for the duration we were there eating our bagles. Most customers know the menu. If it’s your first time, study the menu before you get to the register. Of course they are trying to move the line, but we didn’t feel rushed. We will be back.

Nice bagel shop in downtown Needham Heights across from the train station.
A staple for commuter rail employees.
Get the turkey, egg, cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel.
Im here anytime I get off the train at Needham Heights.

I love this bagel shop! Great sandwiches and the only place I know of that will make me a baker’s dozen of all salt bagels (our family’s favorite) to take home. These salt bagels are incredible fresh but will freeze and toast up perfectly (tip: pre-cut them and toast frozen)

Great place to get bagels and coffee. They have many different types of bagels and cream cheese. Have breakfast sandwiches, have regular sandwiches (tuna, chicken and others). Have hot or iced coffee, soda, juice. Good prices. Can eat there or take to go. Amazing staff, very friendly. Parking on street and there a lot in the back.
