Crema's Take
“This recently opened Kittery spot has already earned devoted fans with genuinely excellent in-house bagels and drinks that reviewers consistently praise as "10/10"—the kind of place that feels like a local favorite within weeks. Beyond the stellar bagels (the everything with veggie cream cheese is a standout), Henry's nails the full breakfast experience with quality egg sandwiches and lox, all served with genuine warmth and energy that customers immediately feel walking through the door. It's the perfect grab-and-go before heading to the beach, or a reason to linger with your coffee and soak in the genuine good vibes.”

I've never written a review for a restaurant or food before, but this place deserves to be raved about. The bagels are delicious, you can't go wrong with any of them; the drinks are 10/10 (I recommend one of the specialty iced coffees or the lemonade with raspberry purée); my favorite of all is the Build Your Own Sandwich-- if you love a good sandwich, you will love this: everything is SO fresh (try the sourdough) and THE PICKLES!!!! They make their own and they're addictive. Get them on your sandwich AND buy a container to take home. This afternoon, when I went in to pick up a to-go order, I had to run back to the car to get my wallet because the chocolate cherry brownies looked soo good, I needed to grab one of those as well. I am lazy and not even very big on sweets! Please let that speak to how incredible this brownie looked. It was delicious! This is the best spot I've found since moving to Maine. The employees are lovely and the atmosphere is genuinely adorable-- neither of those attributes mean much to me if the food isn't good, but they make a great place even better with food like this.
Went in the first time today and everything was great. My wife had an egg sandwich and I had the bagel with lox and both were excellent (I would ask for the tomatoes and salmon to be cut into small pieces though next time to be easier to eat). I also order a Italian to go for lunch and it was one of the better one's I've had. Space inside is nice and larger than expected with plenty of seating. Highly recommend.
☀️🥯 Pro tip for the perfect summer morning: grab your to-go order from Henry’s Bagel & Deli in Kittery, then head straight to the beach. Today’s choice: an *everything bagel* stacked with veggie cream cheese, egg, spinach, and tomato. Honestly, it’s so good you won’t even notice if a few grains of sand sneak into the mix. Picture it: warm sun, salty breeze, toes in the sand, cold brew in hand… and the best bagel bite of your life. 🌊 Live like a tourist in your own backyard — snag your bagel + brew from Henry’s and claim your spot on your favorite stretch of sand. Priceless. 🏖️
It’s only been a month, but Henry’s already feels like a local favorite. You can tell they’re listening to the community—both in the flavor and the experience. The bagels are made in-house, and clearly with love… the quality shines through in every bite. They’re delicious, and it seems like the team has already made a small price adjustment to better serve customers. I saw plenty of people leaving with bagfuls of bagels while I waited for mine—always a good sign! The vibe inside is warm and welcoming, with a clear nod to its Maine roots. It strikes the perfect balance between local charm and cozy comfort. Today I tried a plain bagel with maple butter and WOW. That stuff is GOLD. Light, just sweet enough, and totally crave-worthy. I already can’t wait to go back for another. Welcome to the neighborhood, Henry’s—we’re so glad you’re here. 💛
Stopped by Henry’s Bagels & Deli today for their grand opening — and WOW. The place is absolutely beautiful. You walk in and immediately feel a burst of good energy — staff buzzing, bagels flying, coffee flowing!!! The cold brew was Amazing. I grabbed the rotating bagel — an Asiago bagel & had it as a bagel breakfast sandwich!! it did not disappoint! These bagels are different — in the best way. Big and bold, but somehow light. No heavy, doughy feeling after devouring down two bagels— just clean, fresh, flavorful goodness. The eggs on the sandwich were cooked perfectly — slightly runny, just how we like it! 🙌 Can’t wait to go back tomorrow and try another one!!
