Deke's Bagels - Guilford, Connecticut

I’ve been to Deke’s Bagels three times. Every time they’ve been phenomenal. The bagels are absolutely delicious; eggs cooked to perfection, bacon perfectly crisp. I always get the double double ( double egg, double bacon ) and they always get it right. I’ve eaten BECs in Vermont, NY, Mass, and CT. Therefore I have the experience to say this place is top tier. Great service as well.

We tried Zeke's Bagels on our Saturday morning ride. I heard they had great bagels. I ordered a BEC on onion bagel, cream cheese on everything and olive and rosemary with cream cheese and large coffees. Our order came quickly and they had plenty of bagel varieties! Some reviewers said the selection was poor, but that wasn't the case. Zeke's is also in Niantic, where they do most of the baking. So may explain why selection runs thin. The staff was pleasant, service was quick. This place has seats for four people only! I would come again The bagels were delicious!

I come to Deke's for the best bagels & pastries around (the Dirt Bomb!), and I leave feeling great even before one bite because the staff there treat people right! If there's a long line, they are patient and doing a great job filling orders and being professional. If there's no line, they are equally pleasant and helpful, and you get some fun conversation with your order. Feels good walking in and feels good walking out -- great food and wonderful people. (Can't wait til I'm walking in again soon!)

Nestled in the heart of Guilford, Deke's Bagels is a hidden gem that deserves every bit of praise it gets. From the moment you step in, the aroma of freshly baked bagels fills the air, complemented by the enticing scent of locally roasted Perkatory coffee. It's a sensory delight that sets the stage for what's to come.

Let's talk about the bagels - they are simply to die for. Chewy yet soft, with a perfect crust, they are hands down better than any competition in the area. Choosing a breakfast sandwich was no easy feat because each option sounded mouthwateringly delicious. Eventually, I settled on the Taylor pork sandwich and the Marigotta, both of which were absolute stars.

The Taylor pork sandwich was a symphony of flavors, with tender pork complemented by just the right amount of salty, smoky, and chersy. On the other hand, the Marigotta boasted a perfect balance of avocado and creamy elements that left me craving more.

Overall, Deke's Bagels exceeded my expectations. The quality of their food, coupled with the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service, ensures that I'll be returning again and again. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won't regret it.

The food here is delicious. I got the Niantic bagel sandwich and it was very good. The bagels looked delicious. However I won’t be coming back because the service here was very poor. The cashier was not friendly and asked us to repeat our order 3 times. She also asked the other customers to repeat their orders multiple times. It’s too bad because the food here is very good.

The young lady Alani was truly a joy. It was my first time here and she was extremely patient with helping me decide what to get. She told me how involved the owner is and how everything is baked fresh daily. Overall a wonderful experience!

Was trying to go early on a Sunday and pick up some fresh hot bagels. Unfortunately that was not the case. The everything were burnt and hard as a rock while the plain was softer but when i cut into then the center was freezing cold as if it were previously frozen. All in all a disappointing experience.

The young lady with the Head Scarf was so nice and pleasant. I did not know what i wanted but she was so helpful in giving her opinions and allowing me time to figure out what i wanted. It was my first time and im new to the area, but she made my experience welcoming and I will be back.
