The Works Bakery Cafe

I have visited Portsmouth, Portland, Maine and Manchester and Concord is the same for great 👍 service, food and coffee ☕. For size, it is a little smaller than Portsmouth and about half the size of Manchester and Portland.nI ordered an Egg 🥚 Cheese 🧀 and Spinach 🥬 on Sourdough toast with a chocolate croissant 🥐 and Sea Salt 🧂 Maple 🍁 Latte. Enjoyable!nThe music 🎶 was playing 🎴 at a quiet level 🎚️ so you did not have to speak 🗣️ up. WiFi available.nI am going to recommend a visit especially if you are a fan of the Works Cafe franchise.

The Works Bakery Cafe is a decent spot if you’re nearby, but nothing really stood out besides the iced coffee, which was actually really good. The bagels were okay, not bad, but not anything special either. I also tried the breakfast burrito and it was pretty generic overall.nnThe place itself was clean and had nice outdoor seating, which was a plus. Customer service was great and everyone was friendly. Overall, it’s a solid casual stop, but not somewhere I would go out of my way to visit again.

Incredible bagels, especially the cheddar jalapeno as an egg sandwich ✨ they are not overly toasted and the bagels are not bland on their own. There are many healthy options available for any time of day, as well as grab-and-go goodies. I'm not a fan of the smoothies but this is one of my favorite places to frequent downtown.

Say you’re on your way back to Northern Maine from a holiday visit and you need somewhere to grab lunch and a mocha, what do you do!? Obviously you stop at the Works because not only was the mocha rich and delicious, they serve like 8 kinds of mac and cheese!? The lox bagel even had capers and everything. 10/10 for cozy vibes taking advantage of the classic New England brick interior. And all dishes were compostable, I cannot come up with a single suggestion for improvement.

I waited in line, with several others, as employees chatted and just stood there. I requested a well-toasted bagel. What I received was a burnt, inedible bagel. Well toasted does not mean burnt to a crisp. Very disappointed as I've only heard good things. I would have stayed and given them the opportunity to make it right but I was already running late because of the original long wait time.
