I’ve waited thirty plus minutes for bagels at this Bristol cafe and you know what?

Not mad about it. Far from it.

First stumbled on Bristol Bagel Works purely by (HAPPY) accident, after seeing a long line that stretched down Hope Street and wondering what the heck was going on.

Turned out those folks were all waiting to order from a menu featuring over 15+ different kinds of freshly baked on the premises 🥯’s including: Plain, Poppy, Sesame, Works, Spinach, Cinnamon Raisin, Cinnamon Sugar, Onion, Garlic, Cranberry Walnut, Cheddar Broccoli, Blueberry, Salt, Multi Grain and 4 varities of Asiago Cheese.

And don’t even get me started about the spreads or toppings.

I mean, for starters, they have a gazillion different kinds of cream cheese: You can get everything from the classic schmear (aka, plain cream cheese) to herb & garlic or some hummus, jelly, even a dollop or two of Nutella.

In addition, they’ll whip up a bagel sandwich for ya, if that’s what you’re craving.

Carry out your order or grab a table and stick around for a bit.

You can also call in an order to this family owned establishment that’s been in biz for over 30 years, which is a marvelous way to avoid the line.

Bristol Bagel Works is located at 420 Hope Street in Bristol, Rhode Island. (Pretty sure they are open Tuesday thru Sunday this summer.)

As always, if you go for 🥯’s after reading this, please let them know you were inspired by Patty J and PattyJ.com.
