Rosenfeld’s Bagels

Rosenfeld Bagels took first place on the list of best bagels in Boston. Rosenfeld's Bagels was founded in 1973 after founder Marc Rosenfeld tried a local Boston bagel offered as a snack during a late night study session by one of his Suffolk University School of Law friends. "I think I can do better," he told his friends. This unexpected gem, slightly hidden below street level in Newton, has been baking bagels (certified kosher) since 1973. The modest entrance belies the vast array of bagels on offer, which includes potato, sunflower, caraway, and marble varieties. Smoked fish and cream cheese spreads are plentiful; for a sweet treat, try mocha chip.

While it appeared that this Suffolk Law student knew nothing about baking, Marc Rosenfeld was the ideal candidate to open the Boston area's best bagel shop. Marc, you see, had worked for one of the best bagel shops in Westwood, New Jersey while studying at Rutgers. His recipes and techniques were exquisite, and it wasn't long before the idea of providing the best bagel in Boston became more than just a fun idea; it quickly became a business.
