“bagel nest on fulton street is the best restaurant on Fulton everything is fresh bagel are freshly made at the place. the establishment is clean the customer service is excellent

“The best bagels in BK!“

“Ok, maybe I shouldn’t have picked marathon Sunday to finally hit up Frankel’s—it was packed! But what a great spot. I love their creative breakfast sandwich options, and the vibe was pure NYC energy. I got the pastrami, egg, and cheese on a challah bun, and it was exceptional. Perfectly balanced, rich, and just messy enough in the best way. 10 out of 10. I’ll definitely be back.“

“We come here every time we’re in NY to eat breakfast. Then come back to get a couple dozen to take home. My fiancé is from Long Island born and raised but we always drive to Brooklyn because the food and service are that good! Cool neighborhood as well.“

“Walked in the bitter wind and cold for these bagels, and we were not disappointed! Great selection of bagels and cream cheese. We ordered quick, and although full and small, the tables turnover quickly. Our bacon, egg, cheese on an everything bagel was exceptional. Great bite. Fresh eggs and crispy bacon. Coffee good too, although not an extensive coffee list. Will be back!“

“We stumbled upon this deli on Maps, and we are very happy we did! We tried a cream cheese and lox bagel, a Times Square sandwich and a Caprese Panini, all of them delicious!!! The staff was very nice and welcoming to us, they even suggested a few things to try - thank you Mikey for making our amazing food 💗

Will come back again :)“

“Bacon Sausage egg & cheese wrap AWESOMEEEEEEEE (Extra ketchup)“

“What a great gem! The local bagel shop has wonderful bagels and spreads. You order on the right side lane, wait, then when they call your order, you come up to the counter to pay. They accept both cash and credit card.

Usually there is a line on Saturday or Sunday morning, but it’s calm any other time.“

“Fantastic bagels! Would love to come back and try their sandwiches and hot food. All of it looks delish! Great service too.“

“親切な接客と美味しいベーグル“

“very popular places, the name brand of it tell it all. This is first time I tried it after hearing about it for long time before. I love the cleanliness, quick service, clean restroom. Its very crowd but you don't have to wait for too long because serving is quick. Little pricey but I think its fine for a good bagels
The burger is really good, i enjoyed both of them. their bagel bread is in store bake (as i heard) so its very soft, fresh bagels with slightly crispy skin.
Only thing I dont like about the space is there are too little table to sit. I would not mind going there on the summer but it's hell in the winter because you have to wait for quite a time before you can find a sit to enjoy your bagel.“

“A perfect lil “hole-in-the-wall” type of bagel shop!

Lots of ppl will mention other shops as “NYCs Best Bagel” but as someone who literally only comes to the city to walk and eat bagels, I can promise you this is an easy top 5.

The bagel itself is quite perfect, but then they LOAD IT UP with all the fixings to make a boarder-line Katz Deli sized sandwich. I’m always getting the classic Lox on everything and I got BANGGGGG for my buck. Flavor was 5/5. Crunch was 5/5. Ingredients were 5/5. You get the point.

I love the branding too. Lots of cool merch, nice employees, simple streamlined menu with enough options to make everyone happy. Truly you cannot go wrong stopping by their shops. 10 out 10 would recommend.

No notes, keep on Le-on’s!“

“Came down from Canada and stopped for breakfast. Immediately bought bagels to cram into my luggage and bring home.

I got the lox avocado on everything. It was wonderful.

Very nice to be able to eat inside the restaurant, plenty of seating.“

“One of my biggest things I do is when I go out of town is I always look for something local. And right next-door where I was going to be was my favorite bagel. I figured I’ll go get a bagel and a drink. Well I walked in there, and there was all different types of pizza there there was a salad bar on the other side and then there was a bakery got a piece of pizza. I don’t know what kind it was but let me tell you something from where I am in New York this was nothing like it. The pizza was out of this world. I give it five stars or even 10 stars if I could really good food definitely will go back again.“

“Wide variety of bagels 🥯 (including specialized bagels for holidays, like green bagels for St. Patrick's Day) that are all made on the premises daily beginning around 1 am! Frank, the owner, is there at that time making the bagels and is there EVERY DAY, no matter the weather. All of the staff are pleasant and approachable. It really is a family atmosphere. When you go, tell them I sent you😎“

“Excellent food and bloody Mary’s - great staff and bright and airy decor. Perfect brunch and dinner spot!“

“My favorite cateres in the entire city. I spent weeks trying to find a suitable place for food for my event and Bagel House definitely delivered. They were on time and constantly in communication. The food was not only delicious but also Impressive and at a completely reasonable cost.

The bagels were fresh and flavorful but more importantly the sandwich were full, moist, and packed with fresh ingredients. I like serving food that is well prepared as it reflects on me as a host when I am throwing events and everything came absolutely perfect.

My company will be using them exclusively into the future“

“I’ve been coming here on and off for probably close to 25 years. It’s definitely one of the best, if not the best breakfast spot in the neighborhood. The prices are high though and still going up. A bacon, egg and cheese bagel is $7. A raisin bagel with cinnamon cream cheese is $3.75; I think it was $2 just a few years ago.The bagels aren’t the big ones you see in some spots so it’s a quick snack. I can’t justify those prices since my favorite bodega is charging $5 for the bacon, egg and cheese.

The sandwiches are a better value cause you’re getting more than double the food for less than twice the price. I like the “Italian Sub” and “The Russian” for $12. I tried the “Tuna Delight” on a hero today for $10 and it’s more justified than the bagel prices. They charged .50 just to add onions which is kinda lame. Sandwich shops don’t do that unless it’s something like roasted red peppers.

Lastly, they surcharge 3.75% to pay by card. I work in credit card processing so I understand more than most how thin the margins are for a small business. I urge most of my clients to do the same to be more profitable (pass the fees to the customer), but when you’re also charging extra just to add onions it gets to a point where you gotta call out being cheap. Sorry.

It’s still a very good local spot to grab a bite. The place is packed even at 6:30 am. The pictures are the Italian Sub, bacon egg and cheese on a bagel, raisin bagel, and the Tuna Delight.“

“I love this place I think they have the best bagels in Bay Ridge. They're very fast the line could be out the door and you could be out of there in 5 minutes and they deliver from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. which is great too. They're very nice they're respectful and they make your bagels exactly how you tell them to and their coffee is wonderful also. I recommend this place highly“

“The cookies I had were great. loved the red velvet cookie. I have to taste sweet potato cheesecake asap.“

“This place is wonderful! The owner and staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food is great. I can't say enough positive things about Metro Bagel & Cafe!!“

“I don’t live anywhere near here but whenever I am around and I gave time to stop, I stop and have a bit here at SHM Bagel & Coffee Shop.

What I like most about it, is the food. I feel like my mom, dad or one of my Aunties made it and I feel like I’m with them chillin’ and eating. It brings back memories.

Besides that, the owner is kind and friendly and so are the workers. This place if clean and smells clean. It’s a spot where there’s no real fanfare but I like that because, once inside, you have some chairs, a few tables and a two stool window seat option. However, there is a long radiator there so, if you sit to the side, things will work out for you eating over there.

They have a nice assortment of cold beverages and food options. Again, the place is clean and I feel confident eating here.

Great job and thank you, SHM B&CS!!“

“We stopped for sandwiches. Amazing!!! It's kinda an art to make a sandwich correctly, the blend of everything should be the right way. Bagels were very fresh and tasty and all the chosen items were assembled in the correct amounts, which made the sandwiches taste phenomenal!
Service was courteous. Thank you! We'll definitely be back!“

“One of my favorite bagel places EVER! Best bagels, best prices, awesome and friendly service. I take all my out-of-town friends here and even take bulk bagels from here on a plane when visiting my other friends who are not blessed with NYC bagels.
Highly recommend!!!“

“AWwsome Begel ,great place .. we are out of town or‘s and we were looking for a authentic bagel place and you hit the mark it was amazing when we get back here we will check you out again the staff was wonderful very friendly and helpful our bellies were happy😁“

“I love this place and have been going here since it's opened but i really think the prices in this place has gotten too Crazy. A regualr bagel with cream cheese over 4 dollars. A plan bagel is 2 but the smear is 2 as well. Com'on people this is getting out of whack.“

“Amazing bagels good quality ingredients you know by the first bite
Great service
I’m not a fan of the kiosk but thats the world we live but a person can take your order as well
There very nice people I like to have a conversation with a human being not push buttons in a screen
Love this place“

“We got take out and it was excellent, great Indian flavors, nice portions. I am vegetarian so all of the veggie dishes we have ordered have been delicious. The food is fresh and not oily. Great Indian spice. Highly recommend!
Also Omar and staff are generous kind people.“

“My wife needed four dozen bagels, three pounds of cream cheese, and a box of coffee for a school event in Manhattan. I called in the order, in a half hour the order was ready and got a courtesy call from them. She went to pick up the order. The employees was very nice and polite. They help her load the order in her car. The bagels was good and fresh and will continue to patronize the establishment.“

“Walked to Shelskys on a cold windy Brooklyn Friday afternoon, but when I say it was worth it....it was worth it. After about 5 min of browsing, we decided on the Tuna Salad, which is served with sliced jalapeños and a spicy shrimp paste. It's got some heat, but nothing a Mexican from Chicago cant handle! Everything you see is fresh, and you can taste it. Prices aren't cheap but sometimes you gotta treat yo self!!! 10/10!“

“Chewy Brooklyn bagels made the right way, meaning they don't just taste like round bread. All the typical toppings, reasonable (for NY) prices. It's our go to spot when we want a bagel. Google wants me to review the atmosphere. It's a bagel shop located right across from the elevated section of the F line. It's clean, it's bright, it's unpretentious, it sells bagels.“

“I have not had the chance to try the food yet but I just wanted to say R.I.P Lady Octopus they used to be located their their food is missed very much . But I'm glad Edith's took over the spot the food looks delicious looking forward to try the pastrami chopped cheese ☺️“

“These 5 stars are for DJ only because in general this place is hella overpriced and overrated. The ONLY reason I go there is because DJ is the ONLY one who knows how to make the sandwiches. The day he is off, I do not go. DJ plz don't ever leave.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Bagel Villa! The bagels are absolutely incredible! Best bagels I’ve ever had, they’re fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Everything on the menu is delicious, the store is always clean and welcoming, and the variety is amazing. Prices are very reasonable, and the service makes you feel right at home. It’s clear this is a family-owned business that truly cares about every customer. Already looking forward to my next visit!“

“incredibly delicious. this place has competition in the area but the food does not. You can never drive past without seeing a line you should also never drive past without stopping to treating yourself.. highly recommended often imitated never duplicated..“

“Always stop here when i visit my mom! A bakers dozen of everything to go and one sesame bagel with whitefish salad and tomato to eat immediately! even if i just ate or am not really hungry lol.

Bagels are nice and hard on the outside and chewy on the inside. It almost like they are toasted but they are not. They are a good size. The whitefish salad is slightly sweet to me but I like it.

Price is comparable to other bagel places in Brooklyn.“

“On November 11/25 went in at 8am rude man behind counter makes me feel uncomfortable cause I am disabled and I have a walker. He tells me oh well then go outside or go here you can’t move. The store is a little small and you have a lot of people in there. You can’t make the coffee so I decided to make the coffee afterwards I had to pay the bill way to the people clear out that he told me I should’ve made my coffee before rude people to disabled people“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“Best pastrami Sammie around“

“The line was long — and now I know why. The bagels are fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The bacon, egg, and cheese is the best I’ve had anywhere, perfectly balanced and made to order. Even with the crowd, the staff kept things moving and stayed friendly. Totally worth the wait and definitely my new favorite bagel spot. Bring cash!“

“The bagels are really good. I grew up out of NY. We had bagels we thought were good. Then I came to NY and realized what bagels were supposed to taste like. Bagel Hole bagels are top notch. Of the best kosher bagels in NY. The sandwiches are good, service is slow and that could be due to demand and they need to focus on consistently cleaning the restaurant. They improve their speed and clean consistently, I change my rating to a 5.“

“I’ve honestly never experienced such incredible staff and ownership at a restaurant—anywhere. My 4.5-year-old daughter and I stopped into Atlantic Bagels during yesterday’s snowstorm and ended up feeling like we were in someone’s home, not just a bagel shop.

The owner, cook, and entire staff were unbelievably kind, generous, and thoughtful. We were stuck inside waiting out the storm, and they went out of their way to make it fun and welcoming for my daughter—playing with her, talking with her, and making her feel special. They even gave us a free bagel while we waited, which meant more than they probably realized.

At one point, the owner jokingly told my daughter she could come back and work there someday—and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since.

This is exactly what an amazing Brooklyn small business should look like: fantastic food, a genuinely welcoming environment, and people who truly care. The team took over the shop in 2024 and completely renovated and refreshed it, and while some older Google reviews carried over, this is absolutely a five-star establishment today.

I can’t recommend Atlantic Bagels highly enough. Go support them—you’ll be glad you did.“

“Let’s start with the manager, Eli, the most wonderful guy, and his partner the guy working in the store,

Truth is, I came in all the way from New Jersey to get a shakshukah at Brooklyn Bagel, I wish I was able to find in new Jersey such a good shakshukah, and by far. It was worth the trip.

This place is awesome, and worth a trip from literally anywhere.

Keep it up and good luck

P.S. try Try the shakshukah.“

“Absolutely fantastic deli! The selection of meats and cheeses is top-notch, and everything is incredibly fresh. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help with recommendations. I loved the house-made sandwiches; they’re packed with flavor and made to order. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to grab a bite. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality deli fare!“

“I contacted them for my work team. They catered Corp 4 breakfasts for 50+ ppl.
Customer service was excellent, delivery was on time & the quality of bagels & breakfast wraps were fresh & tasty!
Thank you for the stellar service!“

“I've tried these at different times of the day and week:
Turkey club wrap, egg bacon and cheese, cinnamon raisins bagel with walnut cream cheese, ham and American cheese on a poppy seed bagel. I have to say this is one of the best spots in Bay Ridge.“

“The best bagels in not only Brooklyn, but NYC as a whole. The bagel options are abundant and every flavor I’ve tried is has been 10/10. Recommend the everything, cheese bagel, and blueberry bagel. Cream cheese options follow suit and the scallion cream cheese is my favorite. Atmosphere is lively and service is always pleasant.“

“Just came in to rest my feet and get out of the cold and so pleased I did. Quiet and peaceful, great prices, lots of choice and very personable service. The cream cheese bagel was really cheap but tasted gorgeous. The sort that makes your feet tingle. Thanks to my friendly server too.“

“Perfect spot for a delicious gluten free bagel sandwich (non gluten also available of course). Lots of choices, freshly squeezed orange juice available. Their ordering system is a kiosk that is a little confusing at first but easy enough once you take a minute. The seating is minimal, better for takeout than dine in.“
