Located on 35 Broad Street and voted number one bagel shop in Bridgewater, Bridgewater Bagel does not limit their menu to simply bagels and coffee. There are muffins and breakfast sandwiches available for order as well.
This bagel shop is BSU friendly, as they have the ability to accept student Connect Cards for an option of payment as well as cash or credit.
They offer over a dozen flavors of New York style bagels, an assortment of muffins from chocolate chip to blueberry, as well as their newest pumpkin muffin, to compliment the season.
Along with their bagels and muffins, they offer several cream cheese flavors ranging from plain, honey and walnut, to smoked salmon and veggie.
While speaking with Kristen, the business’s owner and manager, she explained that of all the popular food items they have to offer, the most popular are their french toast bagels.
They also accommodate parties such as baby showers and funerals, with platters of assorted muffins and bagels.

It was relaxing to be able to enjoy one of their new pumpkin bagels, toasted with butter, accompanied by a decaf hot coffee.
Maybe a plain bagel with coffee isn’t exactly your style for a post-class snack, no problem. They also offer breakfast sandwiches made with fresh eggs with cheese and a side choice of either bacon, ham or sausage.
