Bit of a line but moved quickly. The staff were nice, and there were a lot of options for bagels, spreads, and sandwiches. My wife got the garlic bagel with scallion cream cheese, and I got the everything bagel with cheddar, bacon, and jalapeños cream cheese. Both were delicious and the bagels had the perfect ratio of cream cheese to bagel. I would definitely go again on a future trip to New York.

Amazing bagels. Definitely worth the long wait in line. Also these are the best eggs/sausage I’ve gotten at any bagel place in NYC. The chipotle cream cheese is delicious. It’s expensive but worth the price and long wait in line (the line is always out the door in the morning).

HORRENDOUS - I was charged almost $700 for this food. Yes, it is a lot of food but not $700 worth ! The dessert platter as one black and white cookie split into 4 parts... thats not four cookies its just one. I did not order the veggie toppings for the bagels as I bought them. This is supposed to feed 30 people for the break fast tonight and it will maybe feed 20. They are already closed for the day so I cannot complain about the inappropriate cost to product ratio, but I plan too. We live in New York bagels are everywhere and for cheap - I would definitely NOT recommend.

Fantastic bagels here! Even better if you have them with their rich cream cheese and prosciutto; its beautiful with flavor! Enjoyed it so much! Probably a bit more on the pricy side but TOTALLY worth it! Definitely would want to go again!!!! ❤️

Didnt know how popular it was until I went in the morning on a weekend!Their bagels are to die for, and now every time I go home I have to take some! Their signature bagel is REALLY good. The staff is super nice as well!

Some of the best bagels I have ever had!! The place was busy both times I went in but service was unfailingly friendly. The chipotle cream cheese is absolutely divine, and the bagels are absolutely delicious!

Great bagel spot. Quick service and decent prices

Visiting the US and unfamiliar with some of the combos, the man was very patient with us explaining what they had. Bagels and ABC wrap were delicious as was the apple cinnamon muffin! Great for a picnic in Central Park.

Staff were super friendly and accommodating. It was my first time and they guided me through ordering/ gave suggestions. The everything bagel with bacon egg cheese and avocado was super delicious!

Absolutely delicious. You can’t beat the price and tasty bagel.

Good selection of bagels and theyre really good!

We ate here multiple times while in town. The bagels were delicious, especially when toasted. The cream cheese flavors were also great and service was good. The price is pretty good as well.

There is almost always a long line, but for a good reason: everything on the menu is incredible and the service is wonderful. Today, one thing I ordered took just a couple extra minutes (i.e. slightly longer than handing your order to you while youre in line for the register-- they will get everything to you ridiculously fast), and the cashier was very apologetic and included a couple small cookies with our order, which was so sweet. (I only wish I couldve paid for them, they were so good!) Food service is oftentimes a thankless profession, but I just want to give my sincere thanks for making each and every visit great. Cant wait to come back again:)

Uh, that was a damn good bagel. Mmmmh.

Wanted to get some bagels before we left the city. There was a line that went outside, but didnt take too crazy long. Just wanted some simple bagels (plain with cream cheese), but they were wonderful and just what I wanted! They have a bunch of bagel options, sandwiches, paninis, and coffee too.

Quick, good, large bagels and portions, super friendly - the exact thing you need in the morning. The quintessential New York bagel option, or healthy breakfast (if you are into that sort of thing )Don’t be scared of the long line, they are conveyer belt machines - you’ll be ordering and getting your food even with the longest line (the one thats outside and ends by the street corner ) in 20min but usually in 10min

Come early so they don’t run out of your favorites, and don’t forget to check out the specials.

The staff here will be friends for life. Like the father or brother you never really had. Not to mention the bagels are among the best in nyc

I have been in NYC 7 years and tried most all bagel places from your local delis to the famed shops. The gold standard in my opinion is Absolute Bagels on the Upper West Side. The perfect NYC bagel is one that is plump, moist, chewy, and slightly sweet. This place, while not being the absolute best, will not disappoint. Their bagels are what I just described. The fifth star is for the friendly staff. That alone will have me coming back to this place.

Fresh pastries at reasonable prices

Great little bagel place with an excellent selection of spreads.. small walk from Madison park making for a lovely breakfast

Don’t waste your time go somewhere else. Guys up front are rude.

Bagels are delicious. Great variety of bagels and cream cheeses. Staff is friendly and efficient. My wife loved the iced tea she got. Small complaint: no decaf coffee. Definitely my go-to bagel place in NYC.

Dear future customers, be prepared that will charge you more than it actually costs.Large cup of coffee is $1.75, they will charge you $2 to round things up. A scallion cream cheese on bagel is $2.95 they will charge you $4.When I asked for an itemised receipt, they said they don’t have itWhat on earth?** and then you get home and bagel isn’t fresh eitherThanks no thanks

Have you ever had a food and then thought about it for years after? These fluffy bagels have lived in my head rent free since I tried this place years ago. I finally returned and it once again did not disappoint. Just go here. Do it, go.

Bagels are legit NY bagels, but not on the level of top places such as Ess-a-bagel or Brooklyn Bagel. Works in a pinch but one can do better.

The house special (bagel, schmear, lox, capers and tomato) was AMAZING definitely will be coming back regularly! Pricing was great too and friendly staff!

Solid bacon egg and cheese with great bagel and good amount of filling. Would recommend.

Chocolate croissant was incredible! Bagels all top notch! Friendly service!

Incredibly disorganized and terrible customer service if your order goes wrong

Tiny spot, took us forever to find!! It was definitely worth it!I ordered egg and cheese on an onion bagel, my friend ordered the house special. I paid about $5 (or less), my friend paid $10+.The sandwiches were ENORMOUS! definitely worth the price though. Although, we wished they came in kid-size portions or half portions.There were so many other choices available for breakfast ranging from croissants to platters.

My staple order is an Everything bagel w/ olive cream cheese & tomato.I usually have a photo to add, but I was underwhelmed.... The everything bagel was very lightly seasoned...Nothing to write home about... However, no reason to walk by.Yes, the staff is great!JS5.0

Stopped in for a bagel. So many choices of cream cheese and bagels. They dont skip on the schmear either! A customer tried to being her dog in, but there was a sign posted, the manager was very good about pointing it out to her even though she tried to get her way. I was happy to see an establishment enforce the own rules about no pets. Hole in the wall, bar to sit at, and not near a subway stop really. But worth the walk.

The bagels and coffee are amazing!! If you’re in the city you should definitely stop here!

Love stopping by this place when I visit NYC and stay in midtown.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST BAGELS EVER AND IN NYC............ PERIOD

Great bagel place. First time visiting NYC and came to this place. Highly recommend it, to get your bagel. Has a small seating area and also serves great coffee!

OMG THE BEST UNSWEETENED ICE TEA

Best Salmon bagel ever french toast is great but it’s actually pancake with maple syrup.Definitely going again when am NYC

Cheap breakfast items, awesome bagels and many spreads to choose from. Some chairs to stay and sit. Employees are friendly. Minus are the weak Coffee and that you dont get real dish, onky Pl. Focus is on walk by customers.

So sweety

What a delicious bagle!This shop is small but many people come and order their breakfast one after another.I ordered a poppy sead bagle with blueberry cream cheese, toasted.Shortly after ordering, I got my bagle, it was very fast!Most of its customers choose take away at morning, but you can take a seat and eat.It is good to see which spread the customers choose.It is affordable and taste good! There are many spreads so you can taste different flavor everyday!

My go-to bagel place. Never disappoints. Top quality bagels and breakfast options - and you can call ahead for pickup or free delivery to avoid the long lines

My friend and I try bagel places around NYC just for fun and a reason to walk around. So i can say confidently that these bagels are delicious.

Great service! The bagels were delicious!

Bagels are scrumptious. The Everything Bagel was my favorite. My taste buds were having a party in my mouth. The place is very small and the line moves fast so be ready to order or move aside, if you can. The staff are very friendly and take care to prepare everything correctly. Love this place.

Always helpful staff, probably the best bagels in all of NYC. The lox sandwich is very hefty for the price as well. I’m a regular now.

Service is so fast and efficient! Delicious bagel sandwiches, I love how fluffy the eggs are

I like the cream cheese. Simple drinks were not priced at an everyday amt.

Best bagels and the best customer service!!! so friendly 🤍🥯 love it

Great bagels - fresh each day. House special is must-eat!

Fast, Friendly Service And Excellent Bagles!

Bagels were great, coffee was just ok but overall well worth it

My go to bagel shop. Their coffee drinks are just as good as their bagels

Long line in a small space but not unlike other bagel spits in the city especially on the weekend. Nice selection of fresh bagels and add-ons at reasonable prices.

Excellent bagels, coffee and service

Ordered a bagel with toppings along with some other items. Was overcharged for the bagel and didn’t even receive any of the toppings (just cream cheese). To top it off the cashier said I didn’t pay for my extras when my receipt shows I did, but I still gave it to him (so I paid twice for extras I never received). I understand running a restaurant is hard but making multiple mistake in one order is a bit much - especially when there are many other great bagel shops to visit in the area. Bagel itself was fine, nothing amazing.

Solid NY-style bagel. Fast service.

Delicious bagels. We paid 20$ for this much food. Try it out!!!

Tried the house special. Bagel itself was nice, loads of Salmon without being too much and the cream cheese tasted too notch also. Couple with excellent customer service I have to say this is probably one of the best bagels I’ve had in NYC

Best toasted sesame bagel shmeared with regular cream cheese - nothing like a bagel in NYC

Great bagels and very generous with portions. Very authentic

The friendliest staff and the BEST bagel in NYC.

Bagels were great! Inexpensive and great quality. Line went quickly and food was worth the wait! Not a ton of seating just a small counter. Best to grab and go.

Oscar the cook was great. Amazing food! Nice people. 2 eggs with cream cheese bagel was amazing.

Amazing bagel. Cream cheese and toasted level were on point.

Really good N.Y. bagels. Love the jalapeno cream cheese.

Bagel so tastyyyy. Lots of locals visiting so it was a good sign. Reasonably priced for a huge bagel ☺️ Eat with while it’s hot / just toasted and it’s sooooo good!

I like the staff and food... Amazing

Good bagels, good prices, always busy (but quick moving) in the morning.

Delicious bagel. My belly was blessed.

Quick bomb bagels and OJ. Wish I could be a regular!

That guy was lying they have cinnamon raisin bagels and theyre amazing.

I like this place.😊. I commute from uptown and found this gem in route to my work place. Very, very friendly staff and owner. I visit in the mornings. Hope you enjoy 😉 your visitv also. Tasty 😊

Bagels and cream cheese are delicious and a friendly staff! Gets very crowded during morning rush hour. Love the everything bagel with jalapeño spread. It’s tiny, so don’t bring big bags. Bring cash, they take credit cards but the machine takes a few mins.

Some of the best! Very festive and cheerful staff and a great local spot

Food is very tasty there ! Recomended to try

Not sure how this place is getting reviewed so highly. I got an everything bagel with cream cheese and bacon. The bagel and the bacon were burnt, and there was barely any cream cheese on it. I probably just got a bad cook.

Amazing bagel and super friendly staff

Delish bagels

😋

Okay bagel shop. Nothing to write home about

My favorite classic bagel spot in Kips Bay. With so many bagel spots to choose from in the city, its hard to find the ones that actually sell high quality bagels - this place does. I stop here before any long trip for a quick breakfast, and bring home a dozen bagels every once in a while. If youre in Kips Bay and youre looking for a BEC with SPK that is far better than average, this is where you should go.

One of NYC’s hidden bagel gems. Consistently fresh bagels and breakfast ingredients. Highly recommend the BEC on the bagel of your choice (not toasted).

A long-underrated bagel shop thats finally starting to gain more attention. I usually ask for it toasted (unless a new batch just came out) and they always nail the crispy exterior/chewy interior balance. Only nitpick gripe is their bacon is often served on the undercooked side.

This is a nice little bagel shop. My friends and I decided to not wait in the ridiculous lines at some of the other places around. The staff are friendly and helpful. I got a salt and garlic bagel with regular cream cheese. Its right in the thick of things (close to the math museum too) which is a win.

The bagels here are the most amazing bagels Ive ever had before in my life. This was my 1st time trying a New York bagel and it didnt disappoint. The schmear is equally amazing and they have tons of flavors.

My family and I were there last year, best bagels we ever had served by really cool people.

Cinnamon bagel toasted with cream cheese!

Very tasty bagels. We stayed there before corona. We love this place.

Love it! And the staff is friendly.

Classic NYC bagel spot, kind staff, delicious bagels.

One of the best places to try bagel from if you ever go to New York. Friendly service.

Delivered me food free of charge during the pandemic, and gave me extra because they didn’t want to see it tossed in the trash. Big hearts and amazing bagels! Support these guys they are the best!

Happy to see them surviving covid, hands down best bagel egg sandwiches in NYC.

So chewy! So good!

Three words: tofu cream cheese! And they have scallion and vegetable flavors, very tasty! Bagels are soft, fresh and well seasoned! Very very highly recommended!! Im so thankful for the tofu cream cheese and its really good

Best egg everything bagels in Manhattan. They are great guys and I missed them a lot during covid closures.

Here they cheat you with the fresh squeezed orange juice they put half tropicana and half natural juice and you pay the full priceCheaters! Please becarful I will never will go back!

非常好吃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻愛上everything bagel
