Absolutely love going here for breakfast. The good and the coffee is consistently good. If you go on the weekend you'll have long waits at the place is small and the staff can only do so much but it moves relatively quickly. During the week you are more likely to find a table to sit at and the wifi is pretty good considering there are 15 other persons on it at the same time. Always looking forward to going back.

Quick service and very good Lox and bagels. Got the Lox 2. Nice ambience and aroma of the place. Staff could be a touch friendlier but overall nice.

Incredible vibes! If you're in the Harvard area and looking for a down to earth, chill vibe for a quick breakfast, I would definitely recommend this spot! The service is fast and helpful. There is a wide variety of bagels and some unique combos on the menu. I was a little disappointed, however, that they don't offer a traditional breakfast bagel, though it would be easy to customize one. As for the bagel itself, I think it could have done with a little less toasting, but the texture otherwise melded beautifully with the right proportion of ingredients. The fig jam was fabulous! And the jalapeño cream cheese had a subtle spice and wonderful creamy texture!

Best bagel place in the city for me! It is very alive on weekend mornings and might be a little hard to get a table. There is normally a line to order but don't worry the line moves pretty quickly. It doesn't take too to get your orders as well. They have a good selection of freshly made bagels, cream cheese and non- cream cheese spreads. Their garlic and onion bagels, and poppy seeds bagels are my personal favorites. Their sandwich items: the lox and their favorite do not disappoint as well. Their strawberry cream cheese is a little too subtle though. Always my go-to place when I'm craving for baaaagels. -9.2/10

Black sheep bagel cafe is one of the best bagels in Boston! I'm so glad I finally got to try it. The spot is really cute, decked out with eclectic decorations like a motorcycle, books, fun plants, etc. The bagels were really good. The lox classic on an everything bagel was delicious and fluffy. It was well worth the visit and some of the best bagels I've had in a while. They had run out of most flavors usually by mid day so just beware! While I was there they came out with more freshly made everything bagels which was awesome.

Love the aesthetic inside. Serves delicious bagels with a wide variety of spreads. Coffee was also good. Excited to try more of their small bites. There's lots of seating inside; this place is ideal for getting some work done.

My partner and I got the lox classic (on garlic & onion bagel), lox 2.0 (on whole wheat everything bagel), and a hot cafe con leche - TASTE: 5/5 - the lox classic is aptly named w its satisfying combo of salty lox and sharp onion, my favorite. Also loved the 2.0, again suitably named for taking the lox sandwich to the next level w scallion cream cheese and fresh dill. Would come back to try more bagels! TEXTURE: 4/5 - the bagels themselves were soft on the inside w chewy crusts. Other highlights were the thick cream cheese, juicy tomatoes, and microgreens PRICE: 4/5 - cheaper sandwiches than the other bagel spot we frequent! Total came to $32 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - filled us up for lunch SERVICE: 4/5 - we walked in at 12:30pm on a Tuesday (place was packed!) and were nervous if they'd be sold out already but, thankfully, a couple of bagel types were still left. Our order was ready in 5min surprisingly ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - cozy cafe space w plenty of plants and a cute patio. Definitely has a strong student following, and can tell it's a popular small business in Harvard Sq PARKING: 4/5 - have gotten lucky w metered street spots right on JFK St, though parked on Holyoke St today

Yummy yummy bagels! Always love coming to this cool bagel shop whenever I am around Harvard Square. If it's around breakfast time expect there to be a line but don't worry it moves quickly. But come early because they do run out of bagels. I have tried several different kinds of there bagels but I always go back to their everything bagel. They have a few specialty bagel sandwiches but you can customize your own and you have a list of different spreads and toppings to choose from. They also offer coffee and I've tried both iced and warm and depending on the weather they always hit the spot. They have plenty of seating inside and a bench out front. I really like all the plants that decorate the place and the interesting books and Vinyl covers. My favorite spread that they have is their jalapeno cream cheese! I love spicy so this one's perfect for me. The jalapenos are always fresh and huge and they are not stingy with the amount they smear on your bagel. It's always a treat to stop by for bagels!

The Boston bagel scene is bleak. Thank god for Black Sheep. Serving good bagels, consistently. It's doughy, and it's good. Perfectly salted. It's cute decorated with vintage vinyls. The staff is very friendly. My only complaint is since they're so busy, they limit amount of bagels you can buy. You cannot get a half dozen or dozen which is a bummer because their bagels are so good!

4.5/5 . Food: 4/5 - I got "the favorite" (boiled egg, avocado, tomato, chipotle aioli) on a whole wheat everything bagel and it was delicious! The bagel can get a bit messy & fall apart when you're eating bc of the way it's stuffed, so you want to plan for that. Service: 5/5 - The folks here are friendly & quick! My food was out in about 5-7mins -- and that was when it was busy! Loved that they don't take forever, especially with how crowded with how tight this establishment can get when it's busy. Ambiance: 5/5 - you definitely go here for the vibe! Excellent place to meet up with a friend or two on the weekend. This is most definitely a place I'd return; I think it's a fantastic, casual spot to bring an out of town friend/family for a quick bite before a day of adventure. But be warned -- the line often leaks out of the doorway. The earlier you head to Black Sheep, the better.
