West End Bagels

Bagel was like cardboard, and pretty expensive. Don’t bother

Disgusting bagel, had to throw it away. Don’t waste your money.

$15 for 4 bagels, each tasted like cardboard. Waste of money

The staff was not the friendliest. The veggie cream cheese was great, the bagel itself tasted like cardboard.

Nice people. The GF bagels are frozen but they taste pretty good.

Was able to get a bagel quick which is rare but it doesn't taste good. Nice when you are in a rush I have celiacs and didn't feel sick from eating.

The gf bagels are not good. The creamcheese is great, though, so I sometimes buy that and get bagels at the grocery store.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not safe for Celiacs. Have to ask very specific questions to get answers about cross-contamination. Bagel cold and crumbly. Disappointing.

Was excited to have a decent gf bagel- I'm still searching. They don't have a separate toaster so my bagel was literally frozen inside. I asked for half cream cheese since I know a lot of places lay it on thick and I think they misinterpreted it for me asking for half a pound of cream cheese. It was over an inch thick. That slab of cream cheese was the only thing holding the bagel together after the second bite. The whole bagel instantly turned to sad, cold, minuscule crumbs. I wouldn't return if I lived next door, but with a bit of a drive? No way. The search continues.

They offer gluten free bagels, however use a shared toaster. The bagels are kept in the fridge so they made my sandwich on an ice cold, untoasted bagel. The whole thing fell apart as soon as I picked it up. Very disappointed and will not return.

A great find! GF bagels available in plain, poppy seed, sesame seed, or poppy and sesame. They don't have a dedicated toaster but can use the flat top grill. Knowledgeable about cross contamination. Good variety of cream cheeses or you can order a breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, and/or sausage. Lunch sandwiches available featuring Boars Head cold cuts, which are all GF.Staff was very friendly and accomodating. We will definitely stop by again the next time we're visiting the Albany area.
