“I stop here almost every morning, and the Truffle Fries have become a must-have with my egg sandwich. They’re perfectly crisp, with that rich, garlicky truffle flavor that feels way fancier than your average café side. Seriously, they taste like something you’d get at a bistro—only faster and cheaper.”

“Came in for a quick coffee fix between meetings and ended up trying the Cajun Tots. Let’s just say… they’ve got some heat! Not too spicy, just enough to wake up your taste buds. Totally addictive and a welcome surprise from a bagel place.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olivia H. – Inman Square

“After class, this is my favorite place to grab something salty and satisfying. You can tell the tots and fries are made fresh—no stale oil or soggy texture like fast food chains. It’s quick, affordable, and feels like real food.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus J. – MIT Area

“I love that they carry Nantucket Crisps—such a cool local brand—and their hand-cut fries are on another level. It’s not just a bagel shop. You walk in for coffee and walk out with a killer snack. Bonus: I feel good about supporting a neighborhood spot.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sara K. – Kendall Square

“We started ordering their catering trays of truffle tots for our team lunches, and now it’s a Friday ritual. They show up hot, crisp, and perfectly seasoned. Everyone at the office is hooked—way better than pizza or sandwiches alone.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ravi D. – Porter Square

“Finally, a place that does fries right. They’re cut fresh, never greasy, and every order is super consistent. The Cajun seasoning is my go-to, and it actually sticks to the fries instead of sliding off like it does at some chains.”

“My kids are obsessed with the classic tots—and I can’t lie, I sneak a few every time. They’re golden, crispy, and seasoned just right. It’s such a relief to find a place that does kid-friendly food without sacrificing flavor or quality.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leo M. – North Cambridge

“As someone who eats plant-based, I appreciate that the tots and fries are vegan-friendly by ingredients. No cheese, no butter—just good seasoning and a perfect crunch. It’s one of the few spots where I can get a full snack without asking for ten substitutions.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alicia S. – Riverside

“I swear I can smell the truffle oil from halfway down the street—it’s that good. The fries are always piping hot, crispy, and full of that earthy, cheesy goodness. Honestly, I’d stop by just for those, even if I weren’t grabbing a bagel.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Michael F. – Near Lesley University

“You wouldn’t expect a bagel café to be one of the best fry spots in the city, but here we are. The Cajun tots and truffle fries are better than most pub fare I’ve had. And it’s all fast, fresh, and affordable.”
