Bagel Central

Bagel Central has the best tofu cream cheese that I have ever had, absolutely delicious!

Bagel Central has been an institution in Bangor for quite some time. They are reliable when you want to sit for a while with a hot beverage and a bagel. They have free wi-fi and large tables, so it is a great place to sit and work or read a book. They have about a half a dozen options for vegan bagels (marbled rye, cranberry-water, sesame-water, whole wheat, and whole wheat everything). They have tofu cream cheese, peanut butter, and hummus as bagel toppings. They have a solid lunch menu, but the offerings may be better for vegetarians at lunch than for vegans. Every day, they have at least one vegetarian (often vegan soup) with lunch. Their bagel sandwiches (typically just vegetarian) are so good! The only thing I don't care for is the coffee, but overall, Bagel Central is quite nice.

Deeeelicious gazpacho - try it if you like spicy!

Many vegetarian & vegan options: Black bean salad, homemade hummus, tofu cream cheese, avocado sandwich, veggie lentil soup, vegan cheese cake.... Plus several gluten-free bagels.

Friendly staff, cool artsy-Mainer vibe, and they even have two honest-to-goodness phone booths, in case you need a quick superhero changing room.

great spot when on lunchbreak from a meeting or even just to hang out. casual atmosphere. vegan options in soups, bagel sandwiches, etc. they also offer soymilk for coffee/tea.

I really enjoy eating at Bagel central. Sometimes it can seem a little hectic in there, but the bagels are phenomenal and the rest of the food is, as well. their breakfasts are super yummy, and very affordable!
