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.
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.
Great bagel spot. Quick service and decent prices
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
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.
Don’t waste your time go somewhere else. Guys up front are rude.
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!
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
OMG THE BEST UNSWEETENED ICE TEA
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!
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
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.
The friendliest staff and the BEST bagel in NYC.
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.
I like the staff and food... Amazing
Good bagels, good prices, always busy (but quick moving) in the morning.
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 😊
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
😋
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).
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.
Cinnamon bagel toasted with cream cheese!
Very tasty bagels. We stayed there before corona. We love this place.
Classic NYC bagel spot, kind staff, delicious bagels.
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!
