First meal of the year and first time here. Tons of options with the eggs Benedict. The Lox and The truffle and salami were the options we went with which did not disappoint.

This place is a gem. I guarantee it will be the best eggs Benedict you’ll ever have. Yes the service is slow but when you eat there, you’ll understand why. It’s family run and they’re all older working as fast as they can. They genuinely care. The quality of the food is top notch. The atmosphere is so unique and special. If this restaurant gets a poor rating, then it’s most likely the problem of the customer and their overall expectation and attitude.

I absolutely loved this spot. Once in a while you trip over a place that makes such unique, delicious food, that they become a part of the landscape. If you live in Edmonton, you need to eat here. If you are visiting Edmonton....you need to check this out! Amazing fresh food and the best coffee!

New York Bagel Café in Edmonton is a cozy little spot that serves up hearty, comforting breakfasts with a homemade feel. The bagels are fresh, the portions are generous, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger over coffee. A great go-to for a relaxed, satisfying brunch.

Very bad service. Waiting even for coffee (black simple coffee) 28 min. Inside is smelling very bad. I had to wash all my clothes as soon as I went home as I was smelling food. No air circulation inside.
Food is not too bad, but it is not special or different than many other places and honestly it is very expensive for one plate which is 33 $ and you have to order something as a side extra 8$, and not worthy to wait 1 hour to get the food that not special or ‘’wooow’’ taste. I alwaya wanted to have breakfast in that place but it was a big disappointment….

Absolutely love this place! The bagels are perfectly chewy with just the right crisp on the outside, and the spreads are so fresh. Staff are warm and welcoming!

Fantastic Bennie's always prepared flawlessly. The only negative is to plan ahead and not eat for the rest of the day because you'll be full for a while.
Let’s start with the good, The atmosphere was a vibe and the music was ok
Staffing, As a server myself I was very shocked and disappointed that there was NO support, there was roughly 9tables on the floor (with pretty decent turnover) , but the server was dealing with the lunch rush, answering the phone, making drinks, seating people, taking orders, payments, and flipping tables (cleaning them), and can’t forget running food too. All by herself. No manager or supervisor or SOMEONE to support her, of course when the rush was over it was much more relaxed. But the result of no support can easily make people antsy and upset with ruining the whole experience.
First Impression , My party was of 9people and with there only being roughly 9 tables we knew there would be a wait. I decided (as they don’t take reservations) to go in and reserve a table for us at 10:40, was quoted about 45min which we kind of predicted (the rest of my party started arriving 11:30) As I waiting I asked for a water which took about an hour to get to me :/ . When the rest of my party arrived at 11:30ish we waiting for an additional 15min for a table that sat 6 comfortably. (No problem once the table beside us left we would migrate over to it) So roughly 1hour and 20ish min till we had our tables.
Timing, Once everyone arrived we ordered drinks and we asked for water aswell, took about 30min to make our drinks (coffees, pop) , and another hour for the water. During that time we thankfully ordered our food around the same time our drinks arrived. The food took sooooo long to make, we got our water an hour after we asked for them, and our food like an additional 20min after the water. I am not sure what the kitchen looks like or how big it is but if we knew it would have taken that long we would’ve eaten somewhere else. (And of course I am keeping in mind we are a table of 9 but if there would be a long wait I would like to know)
The food 👎🏼, The potatoes lacked LOTS of flavour, and the fruits were warm. Obviously there are factors to the fruits but i rather quality than presentation, (put the fruits in a separate bowl away from a heat lamp if that is a factor.) but overall food as MID.
The food👍🏼, The presentation was very pretty, but the food itself was ok. I thought the bagels were yummy and the cream cheese was ok depending of which flavour (we got some jalepino) The fruits were obviously good, they were fruits. And the eggs need some work :/
Overall, I don’t think I will be coming back, the pricing is pretty reasonable for the amount you get and labour costs. And if I were to come it would be with 4 or less people. Once again I understand for a small restaurant like this one, 9 people is a lot, but large parties should be expected anywhere, it is my mom’s birthday today and she really wanted to try this spot. So glad we had each other to accommodate for the long wait but really disappointed overall :/
Alsooo, as much as I felt for the server when there was only two tables left (us and one other) she wasn’t attentive, I get there is a lot to catch up on. But there was no apologies for the wait, no acknowledgment on even maybe thanking us for being patient. No actual service.

Best place I've been to for breakfast in years!!!! It's hard to find places like this. Most definitely will be my new favorite place. Huge portions, so it's a plus. We couldn't even finish our food. Also the coffee!!! Oh my gosh... highly recommend 👌

Have been driving by for ever. Daughter suggested fathers day lunch. Good parking across the street. Very non descript. Stunning inside. Very friendly staff. Daughter and youngest son got a corner booth. Service was not quick. Fathers day. Not in a hurry. Stunning food. Great size servings. Great Taste. Daughter is picky eater. Does not eat anywhere. Will be back.
