Y E.if you are just getting bagels (just bagels), avoid the crazy line and go straight to where the bagels are and buy them there.
Mike B.Jew tip: Don't get the white fish sandwich, get a bagel with cream cheese and 1/4 lb. white fish on the side. $2.00 less, with more fish!
Timothy O.It's like eating a small, delicious Jewish child.
Ron great but almost too much cream cheese. was falling off. good stuff though
Andy Y.If you come later in the morning, be sure to ask which bagels are still warm. 9 grain w raisin cream cheese = to die for
Tim M.Went and got a warm bagel with vegetable cream cheese. AWESOME!
Jenn C.It's all about the spreads here. Try a fresh batch of the Raisin Walnut cream cheese with Lox.
Ed C.The best bagel in NYC. Order ahead and skip the line (4 of 4 petals via Fondu)
Matt H.They don't toast their bagels.
Madison G.They have 3 or 4 types of home made vegan cream cheese. Great bagels with it. Awesome find.
Amy L.Buy two bagels, one with cream cheese, one without - you'll have enough cream cheese to split between the two! And always ask which bagel flavors are warm before deciding.
Sarah H.Great bagels, though they are enormous.
Teresa D.Everything Bagel is the best, Lox is hand sliced to perfection!
Barbara W.The whitefish salad is the best in town.
Ben F.Try the everything bagel. It has salt which is unusual, but very authentic.
Courtney H.IMHO best bagel in NYC. Everything bagel is beyond words.
CC C.best whitefish salad - not great coffee. you can grab a great coffee to go across the street at Petit Abielle
Matthias One of the best bagels I have had in my entire life! Everything bagel with liverwurst, too amazing too be true! Feels like a good combination of German sausage with American bread! <3
Darrell W.Hate myself every time I give these guys money since they're such mean spirited pricks, but the bagels are the best in town. Avoid ordering sandwiches
James S.They finally upped their game and now offer jalapeƱo cream cheese. Essa Bagel is officially unstoppable.
Jesse R.Best bagels in nyc and outside of Florida hands down
Dominique B.Get the everything bagel here. You'll never eat anything else.
Joe P.Place is overpriced as they act like they are doing u a favor. Ordered a bagel with Lox and cream cheese and it was 14$$. Retarded. Won't toast ur bagel either.
Red F.The best bagels in New York. I'm an "everything with scallion cream cheese" kind of guy myself, but that's pure breath hubris. Just don't ask for it toasted, you noob.
Bri G.I pass 15+ bagel places en route to this spot, but it's totally worth it. Weekend mornings, expect it to take 10 mins or so.
Will Get the cinnamon raisin bagel with turkey and American cheese. You can thank me later.
