Love A Bagel is now The Local

Adorable place, great bagels and so happy we stopped on our trip!

Great bagels and acai bowls! Jake the cat was fun to feed too!

Cute. A little pricey for the sandwiches but tasty with good ingredients. UPDATE: New ownership and the place has been spruced up and the menu improved. Great little spot for a quick bite.

Cute little shop with good food and friendly staff! Will definitely be back! The only way it could be better for me would be if they had flavored iced coffees!

Best place to get a bagel! And the cat in the window is so cute 🦁 if you are in town and want a good smear with locks this is your place!

My favorite place to get breakfast in Bennington. Even if they're busy the food is quick. They all work so hard and make such good food!

Great selection of bagels & combos.
Coffee is spot on.
If waiting in line to eat a typical breakfast is not your thing...give this a shot. You won't regret it.
Remember this...there are Scandinavian folk here. Including at least one of the workers. Don't get your knickers in a bind over perception. They typically aren't very demonstrative, yet if you engage them they will smile & warm up a bit. Totally focused in making sure you have what you asked for & efficiently so.
Better to eat a Baygull than a Seagull!

Very rude owner. I rarely comment on customer service but the way I was treated really surprised me. I asked if I could use a coupon posted on their website. The owner very obviously did not want me to use this so treated me like I was trying to scam her or something... rolling her eyes, muttering things under her breath, and asking me what’s to stop people from using it over and over. This was my first time going there so I’ve never used the coupon before but I’m not sure why the owner would act like I’m doing something wrong by using a coupon posted on her website. If you don’t want people to use a coupon that could easily be printed over and over then take it off the website. Don’t treat customers trying to use it like they are scamming you. Also, none of the employees were wearing a mask further showing a disregard for their customers.

The bagels were good so I gave 2 stars instead of 1, but I likely will not be going back if this is how they treat people.

Absolutely the BEST Everything toasted bagel with cream cheese and Lox. I even asked for a little extra capers and lite on the red onion and it was perfect!!! Lovely friendly ladies. Very cute location. Fresh and decorated nicely. Clean and convenient. Will be my new weekend pitstop for my bagel and Lox. Thanks again ladies...be back soon!!!

Staff was very nice.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I could not for the life of me figure out the menu. I just had to guess and say something.

The prices were slightly higher than I would have expected, but it was all very good quality, and worth the money.
