I usually don’t like to give businesses bad reviews like this but I’m so fed up with this place. No matter which location I go to, I receive HORRIBLE service. I always approach people with sincere kindness and respect and I walk away from these people feeling like I’m a burden to them. After giving up on the Ave A location for repeated bad service, I decided to give this location a chance and wouldn’t you know it, they let me down. I literally asked for a “build your own breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon and cheddar cheese” and then I said “and of course the egg” which, admittedly, I sort of said under my breath, thinking it was implied since the name of what I ordered was actually “build an egg breakfast bagel sandwich”. When I received my sandwich with no egg, I politely said “I’m sorry, there’s no egg on this” to which the person who took my order replied “you didn’t ask for egg”. Like I said, I admit that I mumbled the part about the egg but nevertheless, I don’t appreciate the way they handled that. Working in a service based industry is not for everyone but so I hope this person can figure out what makes them happy and go be great at that because customer service isn’t the right career path for them.Paying $7 for 3 slices of turkey bacon and 2 slices of cheddar cheese on a dense, dry bagel was a disappointing way to start my weekend but luckily there’s tons of other places in this area whose employees know how to properly treat paying customers. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Jorge and Christina at the Bleecker St. Location are the best! Best sandwiches ever and even nicer people. Couldn’t find a page for the Bleeker location so leaving this here for now!

Davidovich has the most delicious bagels i have ever tried. whenever i bring a box of bagels to my friends they always rave about it for weeks!! sesame toasted with scallion cream cheese and lox is an absolute A+, and the chocolate twists have ruined all other pastries, knowing i will never consume anything that delicious ever again. i would give this place 50 stars if i could!!!

I hate doing bad reviews, but i need to let the people know that davidovich is trying to charge people almost 10 dollars for a breakfast sandwich with a micro sized piece of turkey sausage.the prices here have skyrocketed and the food isnt even that great, its mostly convenience for me. The customer service is pretty weak, on more than 1 occasion ive said toasted and ive received a not toasted bagel with cream cheese.There are places up the street from this location that charge 70% less and its 100% better than what they have here, you guys just happen to be the closest spot to my apt so you end up getting (too much of) my moneyplease step it up and have better customer service, and realize that 10 dollars for a breakfast sandwich is robbery.

So I saw a segment on Delicious Destinations and after hearing the owner tout how wonderful his products are, I decided to order some bagels and bakery items. Being originally from New York I wanted a “taste of home”. I paid a lot for overnight shipping...but....that didn’t even matter because ALL items arrived stale and/or burnt. Black and whites were over baked and the muffins were at least a week old! Bagels were hard ugh. What a huge disappointment and waste of money. Never again!

Costumer service is rude. The croissants are amazing. But dont buy coffee is a rip off, they dont even fill half the cup. Go to Starbucks better.

Tasty Swiss cheese Kouign amann for $4, I came at like 6pm Friday night . The people behind the counter were very friendly too . High quality baked goods, definitely stop by . Also the Kouign amann with Swiss cheese and seeds would be perfect with tomato soup on a cold January day .

Wildly disappointing gluten free meal. I ordered their chicken pesto “with fresh mozzarella and roasted red pepper on cauliflower bread” for $12.99 - it also prompted for an additional, required cheese choice. Upon arrival, my friend and I were confused as to what could be in the tiny packaging and it turned out to be the chicken pesto lunch. It was just the “cauliflower bread” with pesto and chicken, no red pepper or cheese (required or otherwise.) A heads up for anyone else looking for a GF meal, this is not it. For comparison, my friend ordered a regular bagel for $12.95 and you can see the side by side for yourself.

Great addition to the neighborhood. Real French baguette - the chewy kind, not the break your teeth kind. And the desserts (chocolate mousse cake) are habit-forming. Grownup delights.

They shouldn’t hire people who don’t want to help their customers. We love the location on Clinton Street and decided to get lunch at the Essex Market location. Big mistake—this short kind of chunky young guy with glasses was super rude and uncooperative. He literally said he didn’t care if Davidovich lost business.

We visit here after visiting the tenement The museum across the street. The bakery is in the front of the hotel, it is quaint and inviting a nice place to grab a bite to eat. We tried the lux with capers on the pumperNickel bagel with cream cheese. It was fantastic and fresh! Hit the spot!

Honestly pretty bad. I received two boxes of very stale pastries, after a long wait. I told a staff person about it and they were very helpful, but the manager came in and was rude, dismissive, and downright ugly. Not to mention I heard they fired an employee for being late after getting vaccinated (???) This is the opposite of what they should be doing. I usually dont write reviews but this was a bad experience + the context of it all made me very uncomfortable. wouldnt recommend to anyone.

Great selection, nice staff and fairly priced baked good. Tried a half dozen bagels getting two each of the cinnamon raisin, blueberry and everything bagels. Bagels are a decent size, but after eating it for breakfast, it was too dense and gave me an upset stomach for most of the day.

Asked for 3 bagels toasted, none of them were. Asked for a pumpernickel bagel toasted with cream cheese and lox got a not toasted bagel with lox and no cream cheese. Who wants to eat that ?? Asked for a plain bagel the same way as the pumpernickel bagel and received a plain bagel with lox spread. Listen more clearly to people’s orders cause this is messed up

Absolutely horrible experience, incompetent workers and complete lack of customer service. I placed an order on seamless and received a call that they no longer had salad and that I would not be able to be refunded but must exchange for ‘cookies or pastries.’ I was forced to contact seamless customer service for a refund for the salad. In the order I specifically asked for tofu scallion spread, as I am dairy intolerant and also specified what type of bagel and the ingredients. I received a plain bagel with cream cheese when I asked for everything bagel toasted and scooped of the dough.I contacted the vendor explaining that the order I received was incorrect and that I am dairy intolerant. He took down my original order (everything bagel toasted, scooped of the dough with lox, scallion tofu spread and tomato). I received the second attempted delivery and they sent me yet another bagel with cream cheese, not toasted or scooped up! I mean you must be incompetent to screw this up.Management, please train your staff or hire new, competent workers as your ingredients are not bad but your workers screw the whole experience up. Now I’m down 30 dollars with no salad and two bagels I cannot eat as I am intolerant to Dairy. Also, the OJ is 100% not fresh squeezed...The whole thing seems like a fraud...I notice you have similar bad reviews regarding your staff and schiesty behavior. Can’t you take a hint?

I really love this little pastry / bagel shop. The offer a delicious selection of bagels and croissants and delicious varieties of cream cheese. There’s a small selection of little deserts like macaroons and so on that my kiddos just love for an after school special treat.In all my experiences with them the staff are friendly. This is In a great location. I find myself in Essex Market just about everyday.

The bagel with nutella was lathered generously. The everything bagel with egg and cheese breakfast combo that I ordered was delicious and fresh. Warning though: the breakfast combo comes with a free tea or coffee. The workers would not volunteer this information to you. When asking for the coffee after paying for the meal, I was told that I shouldve told her that before paying for the order. This has tainted my experience with the bakery, which results in the 3 star review.

I came to Davidovich to buy Tea February 26, 2019. The Server at Davidovich is usually a kind Young Man or a Pleasant Lady. On this day A Negative Angry Woman was at the Davidovich Counter. I dropped $.50 in Tip Box and asked for a bit of hot water to warm up Tea. She fished out My Tip and Shoved My $.50 toward Me! She stated Water Without a Cup is a Dollar!! Please Train This Rude Woman on Proper Etiquette to Customers!!!

We are able to get Davidovich Bagels by the bag (frozen) in Austin, TX and we love them! We swing by Dias, the speciality grocery store that carries them, about twice a month to pick up the Sourdough bagels. Thanks for making such amazing bagels AND shipping them down here to us, Davidovich!

Ordered from Davidovich Bakery through DoorDash. It was a fairly decent sized order, with one breakfast entree.See below for my order:1Cheese DanishIf sold out, go with merchant recommendation$3.251French ToastAdd Breakfast Meat: No MeatIf sold out, go with merchant recommendation$8.952Chocolate TwistIf sold out, go with merchant recommendation$6.002CroissantsCroissant Flavor: Chocolate CroissantIf sold out, go with merchant recommendation$5.502CroissantsCroissant Flavor: Almond CroissantIf sold out, go with merchant recommendation$5.501RugelachRugelach Options: 3 Chocolate RugelachsIf sold out, go with merchant recommendation$2.751RugelachRugelach Options: 3 Strawberry RugelachsIf sold out, go with merchant recommendation$2.75What I received:2 - Chocolate Rugelach2 - Chocolate Twist3 - Plain Croissants1 - Cinnamon Brioche1 - Apple Cinnamon Muffin1 - Cheese DanishThey did not call me to tell me they were out of just about everything I had originally ordered. They subbed the French Toast with the Cinnamon Brioche and Apple Cinnamon Muffin, which didnt equal what I paid for the French Toast. I contacted DoorDash so that I could get a refund, which ended up totaling to almost $30 of the $35 that I paid for the whole order. No one wanted the Cinnamon Brioche, Muffin, or the Plain Croissants, so those ended up being wasted. If they had contacted me, I wouldve happily asked for substitutions that I knew would be eaten.While the Chocolate Rugelach and Chocolate Twists I *did* receive from my order were very moist, soft, and tasty, this experience left me with a sour feeling. Its kind of like that Forrest Gump saying, You never know what youre gonna get; since when you order, you wont know what they have in stock at the time, and what theyre going to sub out without telling you.In addition to the non-stock items and unwanted substitutions, it took over an hour for me to get my order. The Dasher had to wait a pretty long time for them to finish preparing my order, which I dont understand since everything is already baked and they literally just pick the items and toss them into the paper bag. Also, Im only on Mulberry & Grand.I dont think Ill be ordering from them again.

Davidovich Bakery located inside Essex Market is a small bagel and coffee shop with delicious pumpernickel and onion bagels. They taste good and are great to grab on the go in the area. The staff is very sweet and friendly and I like that its a tiny shop with quick and speedy service.

The bagels are great but the two young women who work there act like they want to be anywhere but there. They can barely muster a hello or thank you. Ordered a toasted sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese, went upstairs to eat and found that the bagel probably spent five seconds in the toaster and had plain, not scallion, cream cheese. Last visit.

We went, Sunday about 2 pm, for a late lunch. We specifically went for the gluten free bagel options. The counter person was nice, I asked what type of GF bagels they offered. The reply, Plain & Everything.I ordered a GF Everything bagel, turkey, lettuce, tomato, mozzarella and mustardWhat I got was, GF plain bagel, no mozzarella (which is paid for), turkey, lettuce, tomato and mustard.When I returned the sandwich I was told, we only had plain GF, so thats what we gave you. And then when I discovered there was no mozzarella, I was handed a containers of shredded mozzarella, for a sandwich.I mean, visit if you dare, but be aware, high on attitude not as much on customer service.Cold cuts were fresh though and GF bagel, was good and hot; they have to warm it up.

Ordered a bagel with veggie cream cheese. Got it with plain cream cheese. Thats not a big deal. The bagel itself was very forgettable. No reason to go here, unless the line at Kossars is too long. May go back to try something else one day.

We were served on Sunday August 18th 2019. The woman taking the order was super rude and cranky. I saw her treating her coworker (kind guy) the same way.We ordered omelettes. I am not exaggerating when i tell you Mc Donals would have been better quality. Disgusting mix of overcooked eggs with a handful of turkey on the side. I wish I had taken a picture.Not going back there ever.

Sooo, I’ve been getting coffee at davidovich for at least for years at the Essex st market, one day I order a coffee from the same ‘barista’?, ‘bagelmaker’ that is ordered from for years, so one day I order a coffee under his breath he says we don’t have coffee, okay, thinking they’d just ‘run out’ I took it in stride, the next day I go back order a coffee, he says we don’t have coffee so I say do just not have coffee anymore? He says no, just espresso? WHAT, why did it take me that much effort to get that tiny bit of information from an establishment that advertises having COFFEE. Better training, a better grasp on how to communicate, a communications 101 course would be great.
