Crema's Take

“Union Bagel brings authentic New York bagel culture to South Portland with hand-rolled bagels that locals can't stop raving about—especially when topped with their inventive house-made cream cheese flavors like olive that elevate a simple breakfast into something transcendent. The tiny shop buzzes with genuine warmth, where baristas are patient and friendly, and a quiet back patio offers the perfect refuge for a leisurely morning with your everything bagel and coffee in hand.”

Bagels were great, customer service was wonderful. I walked up early on a Thursday didn’t have to wait. Super friendly and patient with me as I asked lots of questions.

Got some bagels to take home. Dolled half of a sesame bagel up fancy, other half just butter. It was legit the best bagel I’ve ever had🤤Love the old school NYC vibe of this little shop!

The best bagels in town. The end. The everything bagel is, well, everything. Add one of their house-made cream cheese flavors and prepare for an out-of-body experience. Every Thursday, I place my pre-order online for Friday pickup- they make it super easy and are really transparent about the process on their website and social- Trust me, the bagels are worth the wait. Great product. Incredible staff. Keep doing what you're doing!

This tiny little bagel shop always has a line and for good reason! Their bagels are hand rolled and their sandwiches are made fresh. The lox sandwich is always a great option, but I also enjoyed the avo-crunch last time.
