This bagel place has the perfect bagel... seasoned just right the ideal soft chewiness inside...sooo goood! The cream cheese was very light and creamy, a very decadent style cream cheese! Coffee is just plain Jane which is fine, but I do like a few varieties. I do wish this place had egg bagels I am looking everywhere for the best egg bagel and egg everything bagel they sadly did not have that or blueberry or strawberry bagels...the ones they did have were killer!

The bagel tasted pretty good and the Lox was AMAZING! However, not much outdoor seating and definitely no shade in the hot sun.

Delicious bagels, actually really enjoyed the iced coffee and they have alternative milks (I got almond milk). They have tofu cream cheese which is delicious and they offer gluten-free bagels as well. I ordered the everything bagel with tofu cream cheese and eggs. Loved every bite!

My favorite bagel in NYC so far!!! They also have great gluten free and dairy free options. I got their rainbow bagel with lox and chives and it was one of the best bagels I’ve had! My friend got a breakfast sandwich and it was fabulous too, so you can’t go wrong!

Tried the gluten free / vegan bagel and honestly.. it tastes very gluten free. Wouldn’t compare it to a bagel. But the tofu cream cheese is the best I’ve had, and I appreciate having a GF bagel option on the menu!

Baz bagel is heavenly! That crunchy outside bagel with soft, chewy inside. There is a line out the door, especially on the weekends, but it moves fast. They have a great selection of bagels, cream cheeses, smoothies, and all at a great price for the size and quality. Their coffee and service is also amazing ! We will definitely be frequent customers here.

Classic New York deli brunch spot, it’s casual enough to come in your sweats if you want, no judgement here, for some great bagels and some eggs and lox.Ironic 80s and 90s music was blasting on loop when I was here and the small tables and booths felt like a throwback.Staff was super friendly and helpful, A+ on service! Only one of two bagels came toasted even though we asked for both, but food came within 10 minutes us ordering and fruit salad and avocado on plates were fresh.Salmon lox was delicious, perfectly cured and sliced. Lots of bagel flavor options but they are well known for their pumpernickel which was perfectly doughy.

Review №19

Asked for a toasted bagel ... 25 minutes later, got a cold, stale bagel, not toasted. My sons bagel sandwiches were clearly made on stale, cold bagels as well. They dont even have espresso drinks. And they are pricey. The crowd waiting for their orders here clearly doesnt know any other bagel place, like Black Seed Bagels, heck even Dunkin Donuts, is far superior in every way.

Hey guys! There is no chance to reach you out via the phone. We made an order from doorDash and got only half of the order (were charged for two items and got only one). You don’t pick up the phone and does not reply to the voicemail.UPDATE - I сalled the restaurant back next day and someone finally picked up the phone. The manager Ive talked to was extremely nice. She offered the refund or delivery of the missing item. I got it in an hour after the conversation was over.

Great bagels in a cherry environment! I had the nova salmon and added some veggies on a bagel. The bagel was exactly what I wanted with a slight crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Would recommend over other shops. The staff are friendly. Seating is available here.

Review №27

This Bagel Restaurant located in the heart of Little Italy was a surprise. Very nice location, clean premises, friendly and organized staff. Specialized in bagels, for all tastes with vegan and gluten-free options. I recommend the one with salmon. You have the possibility to choose directly from the window the creams you want to add and ... Done your beautiful Bagel is ready. Of course you can also enjoy various salads, accompanying everything with homemade fresh Te’, extracts and juices. Enjoy your meal

Must be under new ownership. It used to have excellent food and yesterday’s experience was no better than a corner bodega and 3x the price.

Review №31

Not very friendly. You can’t read the menu or see prices due to the window that you have to order through, so there’s definite sticker shock when your order is totaled.Wanted chive cream cheese, but they didn’t have it, Again can’t see the menu board.Bagels are so-so. There are more tasty bagels in nyc than this place.

Review №32

Really cool decor with tasty bagels. We were seated by the bar and shortly we were poured a coffee and recommended some bagels. I had the Baz with smoked salmon and cream cheese - so much food! You can pick one of their menu combinations or make up your own bagel. There is about 7 different types of bagels, including rainbow. The decor is what I expected an American diner to be like.

Walked in, they take to go order at the door, stay and eat means going a little further in and talking to the host. I ordered a pizza bagel and was surprised by the 12 dollar price tag. Now it has something to live up to. Waited a little while, music was like the oldie but goodie kind and the counter guy was nice. The to go bag was nice, white and big (logo). Ate the pizza on the Q train, was AMAZING. Sauce was good, cheese fantastic and the bagel had like a crunch to it. I think it was garlic. Overall, 9/10. You owe it to yourself to try it once. #Scott’s pizza tours from YouTube. The one who goes around bothering Mark Iacono. 😁

Service was fast, and the bagel was delicious. I didnt sit down, so I cant speak to table service, but the staff were friendly. I appreciate that they are Eco friendly. The only slight negative that I have was that it was a bit more pricey than I was expecting (about $1 more for a bagel and cream cheese, so not a huge difference).I will definitely be going back.

Honestly if I could give this place 0 stars I would. I came here, yes unfortunately it was on a busy morning, but I came here around 10:20 to place an order for BEC. I don’t think the order was that complicated.But y’know apparently it was. We were told to wait outside for our order and our name would be called. My boyfriend was curious about what the name on the order was since we weren’t asked for a name. He probably asked around 10:25. We waited until 10:40 to go ask again about our order since so many other people who ordered AFTER us got their food.When we wanted to know what was going on with our order, the woman behind the counter gave an attitude and said “don’t you see all the people in the back working really hard?” There was no valid reason given as to why our bagel wasn’t ready in 20 minutes. The guy who looked like the manager honestly looked like he didn’t wanna get involved and when I asked for a refund, she didn’t even refund the tip I gave her. I can’t believe I was raving about this spot to my boyfriend who loves bagels and my first experience in this shop was the worst. Never again.

Review №46

This is one of the best bagels in NY. The bagels are fresh and cooked perfectly. The everything bagel has just the right amount of seasonings. The vegetable cream cheese you can tell is homemade. It wasnt too busy when we went around 1130am. I think the bagel with cream cheese is around $6, which is great for the high quality of the bagel.

At first I was a little skeptical as the Baz Bagel was $14! But I was so full by the end, it was a hearty bagel with plenty of goods on it. Salmon, onion, cream cheese on a delicious toasted bagel. I loved every bite. Didn’t get a chance to try their coffee, but maybe next time. I would love to try their other offerings too, they have a ton.

Best bagel Ive had in my life, hands down. I was blessed to have a friend who used to work here recommend this place when I went to NYC for the first time and it is now the golden standard to how a bagel should look and taste. Small little place, but packed with a great crew and delicious food. Cant wait to go back!

I live a few blocks away and come here often for a deli food fix. Best bagels you can get in the area, and the cream cheeses & cold salads are delicious. If you love egg or chicken salad, this place has some of the best Ive ever tried (and very reasonably priced by the pound).Coffee is strong and tasty. They have oatmilk for those who want non dairy options in their coffee.Once indoor dining opens again (praying!!), be aware it does get very crowded so expect a wait. Once inside, the decor is so quaint and retro that youll be glad you did.

I was staying in New York City with friends just a block away from BAZ Bagels. I made it my mission every morning to bring back some fresh NYC bagels to our Air BnB from BAZ Bagels. Boy I miss those bagels! I am sure there are proper ways to describe a bagel just like there is a proper way to describe wine so I guess ‘fantastic’ won’t really sum it up so I’ll do my best.The bagels had a lovely ‘crust’ with just the right density of dough with a beautiful ‘chew’ and a beautiful ‘mouth feel’ and taste.If you like cream cheese on your bagel you won’t be disappointed. The cream cheese is light and plentiful. If you like lox then you also won’t be disappointed. Creamy, buttery and fresh describes it.The menu at Baz Bagels has many choices for how you would like your bagel ‘dressed’. You are also able to eat in at a lunch counter or sit at one of the few tables they have.( My mouth is watering as I write this thinking about eating one of their bagels)If you are anywhere nearby the Little Italy and Chinatown area of NYC you have to stop by. You won’t be disappointed!

Great bagels. When you order to go they take great care in packaging your food, including hot beverages so they stay hot. Recommend Salomon Duet and Pretty in Pink.

Food was super good and fresh, I had the Baz breakfast but added extra eggs into it, and it was amazing, coffee is ok, and the staff was very friendly, the menu is misleading though because it said breakfast comes with a fruit, etc.. but look at the pic to see what they mean!! I paid $20 for a single bagel and coffee!

A good bagel place in NYC, has a wide selection of interesting bagels but the presentation exceeds the taste. Seems to be always packed like any place in the city, worth the try though.

Review №67

Recommended by our hotel. Visited for breakfast and this place ticked all the boxes, great choice of food (all day breakfast option was fantastic), great quality of food, friendly staff who were always happy to help, and the music playing was worth the trip alone. Bowie and Cher back to back was certainly a first to my ears, but a welcome one!

Review №68

Ive been going to Baz for years - since I moved to NYC. They used to be a convenient spot to grab a bagel (~4 years ago), now theyve become a pit stop for the influencer crowd. The quality of the food has remained consistent (that is to say, good bagels), but the overall experience has deteriorated. Couple that with the fact that they cant get their delivery sh** together and youve got a recipe for a slow demise.

I ordered the Valentines bagels to be shipped through Goldbelly. The order was delayed one day than when it was supposed to be delivered. The one day cost me a week because a huge winter storm happened right after so it sat at a FedEx facility in my city for a week before they finally delivered.I wont put that on Baz bagels, however when I finally received the bagels they were terrible. To me the appearance already had be worried because they were awfully flat for bagels. They tasted like salty dough. Cannot eat them and will have to throw away a dozen bagels. $100 down the drain. I also ordered black and white cookies along with it. They were delicious but not packaged well. They were packaged in baggies and ended up underneath the bagels in the box, so the bagels crushed them and they were mostly crumbles by the time I go them. These are delicate cookies, pack them in a separate box not baggies. If youre not in a neighboring state, I would not order from here.

If I could put 0 stars I would. I ordered a Mother’s Day Brunch from Goldbelly from Baz that included 12 bagels, half a pound of white fish, one lb of nova, and 3 different cream cheeses.There was no perishable sticker on the box it was unknown to the FedEx delivery to ring the doorbell upon delivery as this cannot sit out in the FL heat. Secondly, they included 4 baby ice packs which were all completely defrosted and the oil in the white fish completely separated and my cream cheeses went bad. Next, they only included 2 2oz pack of nova when I paid for a pound. Lastly, when I called to complain yesterday, they wanted to resend the bagels to me but on May 13th.... what’s the point of a Mother’s Day brunch being delivered 4 days after? Also, they would not issue a refund to me for their mistake, only a credit to Goldbelly. Why would I want to order from Goldbelly again? After threatening to dispute the charge with the credit card company, they are only refunding me $60 out of the $94 I paid for the missing nova and the damaged white fish and cream cheese. They claim the bagels are fine since they were not in my initial complaint. I will be disputing the charge for the full amount and will never be ordering from this place again. This is because Baz poorly packaged my order

I was in town for 24 hours for work and googled bagel shops in my area before I had to catch an Uber to the airport. Little did I know, it would route me to the best bagel I’ve ever had in my life, THE BAZ BAGEL. I’ve always loved a bagel & lox but this was NEXT LEVEL. With the chive cream cheese and pumpernickel everything bagel, oh my goodness, It was unreal. I especially loved how thinly sliced the lox was. I will definitely be coming back here next time I’m in NY.

Review №97

Stingy pathetic quantity of food. Wow, I have never been to a bagel place that cheaps out as much as Baz does. The picture shows a whole wheat bagel with Lox and onion (very sloppily made). There were literally one or two strands of onion at most and the flimsiest single, thinnest slice of lox. Didnt realize how little it was or I would have never paid for such a petty amount. They got me. Feels bad man.Never going back, I suggest you find a place that will give you at least half your moneys worth. Shame!
