Empire Bagels is a popular bagel spot in the Bronx, known for its fantastic specials and delicious bagels. However, some customers have found the quality of the regular-sized bagels to be gummy and lacking the proper crunch. The mini bagels tend to sell out quickly. Despite these issues, the shop offers a great atmosphere, hardworking staff, and a variety of fresh food and vegan options, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
The deli stands out in an area that lacks vegan options. Customers often enjoy bagels with vegan cream cheese for breakfast or vegan sandwiches for lunch. The vegan chicken club sandwich is a favorite, and the portobello burger and Philly Cheese steak are popular choices as well. They also offer great juices and alternative milks for lattes. However, customers have noted that the matcha does not have a strong flavor. The shop is located in Lakeview Plaza and is only open during the week until 5 PM (Monday through Saturday) and until 2 PM on Sundays. While the food is praised, service can be a bit slow, but the staff remains polite and friendly.
