Stopped in from out of state not realizing it was cash only - cashier was very kind and accommodated us. Bagels are good and cream cheese is on the saltier side.

So glad I found this place! Started a new job next town over and now I have a go to for bagels! Bagels were sooooo good! Nice and chewy! Staff was very friendly, it does say cash only in the window which is a bummer because I never carry cash! The bagels are worth the $2 ATM fee!!

The bagels here are pretty good, but a few things to note. If you order something with bacon, it’s not slices — it’s more like crumbled, greasy bits. Also, they’re cash-only and don’t give receipts, so make sure to double-check your total before you leave. I was charged around $26 for 3 bagels, a small scallion cream cheese, and 3 turnovers, which seemed higher than expected.

I was rudely told cash only and told to use the ATM and had to pay $2 extra. Great service passing operating costs into your customers.
Bagels weren’t even that good honestly….
Never again….

Stopped in for the first time. Ordered a poppy seed bagel, shmear and bacon. It was not edible. It was a greasy mess. The bagel fell apart and instead of a slice of bacon they shoveled crumbled greasy bacon bits probably left on the grill. I opened the wax paper and it was oozing grease, the bagel wasn't cut and everything fell apart. Could not eat it. A waste of time and money. Never again.

Fantastic bagels but would highly encourage them to accept CCs and have iced coffee (preferably flavors/syrups). Additional indoor tables/chairs would also be great.

Ordered two dozen bagels two days in advance when I went to pick up order I was told cash only not when order was placed rudely told by cashier there’s atm over there. When arrived at my event found order was not even close to what I ordered bagels were hard, small and not very tasty I was embarrassed and disappointed chefs reputation is certainly much higher than their quality would have been better off at Stop and Shop, don’t ever embarrass yourself by comparing yourself to Bagelicious you are so out of their league it’s almost comical

I love this place. Even after living in Manhattan for the last 15+ years. These are the best bagels and sandwiches I’ve ever had. Anytime I’m back home or near by I stop by to get some and take some home. You must try.

Been here 10+ times. Terrific NY-style bagels that often sell out by mid-morning

Definitely the best bagels in the area! :)

I have driven by so many times and not stopped. We finally did and we are so glad we did!

Cash only. ATM inside. Closed on Mondays. You order at the case and then line up to pay. Plenty of parking and at a light so easy to make a left onto Whitney. :)

A nice assortment of bagels- some cool ones: egg, spinach.

We tried the Everything with scallion toasted. It was excellent. The bagel had large salt crystals and definitely enhanced the flavor. At first glance, bagel may appear smaller than others but these are quite tall. And definitely very filling.

We have also tried the onion with veggie- very good.

Service is excellent: everyone is polite and friendly. The teenagers working the counter are courteous and efficient: very refreshing. The owner is very pleasant.

We have enjoyed our bagels very much! And will be back to try some of the sandwiches. :) Highly recommend!
