Balsam Bagels

Excellent. It’s simply not possible to get a bagel this good where I’m from (San Francisco), and places that are close charge many, many times as much. Absolutely fantastic bagels!

This is my favorite bagel store in the Rochester area. They make everything from scratch and it is wonderful and creative! The staff really takes pride in their work as well. Also very affordable! They have a huge selections of cream cheeses and bagels that are basic and very unique. I would tell anyone to come here.

Good bagels, vegan friendly. Good coffee, not burnt. Cheapish options even for vegan stuff, the prices really are not that outlandish.

Balsam Bagels is the best place to get bagels in the Rochester area! Lots of great vegan options, too! It's always pretty busy in there, so they developed and ingenious way to let people who just want bagels in a bag bypass the line: look for bagel in a bag signs on long polls by the doors. It's great to see a business close to where I grew up doing so well. ????

I love this place. They have lots of fresh vegan options every day. From a plain bagel to a bagel with sausage and cheese to fresh muffins that are ALL vegan! But if your not vegan they have stuff for you too! Awesome staff and great atmosphere. The prices are fantastic too. Stop by for a breakfast, brunch or lunch.. you'll be glad you did.
