Bagels Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

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

“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.“

“Stopped by Bagel Nest this morning and honestly wasn't expecting it to be this good. Who else came here from tiktok. The bagel was fresh, warm, and packed with flavor, and the coffee was exactly what I needed to start my day. The staff were really friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I'll definitely be coming back and bringing my friends next time. Highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“Inviting and friendly staff, tasty bagels and super chicken salad! Challah bread was delicious! Mix of traditional with modern sensibility. Highly recommend!“

“A local gem! They have the best Chicken Schnitzel in NYC! also one of the best pastrami in NYC!! Great sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and everything was delicious. Alyana was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive and also very informative about the menu. Excellent service and a great overall experience. Will keep coming back!“

“The quality of the bagels at the “new” Court Street Bagels are still excellent but everything else is not how it used to be. It is much nicer inside due to a major renovation that was done, but it is more like a factory now than a neighborhood bagel store. The workers are nice enough, but under the previous ownership, the workers knew everyone’s name and it was a significantly better, albeit very long, experience. Despite having 5x as many workers now, the wait times are better, but still curiously long for very simple orders. It is extremely crowded on weekend mornings which definitely contributes to the wait times so definitely be prepared to wait at least 10 to 20 minutes at those times. If this review was only based on the food, I’d give the new Court Street Bagels 5 stars, but given the full experience it’s closer to 4.5 stars. At the end of the day, despite the change in ownership, the bagels are still some of the best in the city.“

“First NY bagel in my life and it did not disappoint. Will, the owner is an incredibly nice and genuine guy. His shop is nut free and kosher. Try the bacon alternative he created. The yellow tail bacon, it’s incredible. Thank you Will for the amazing service and memory :)“

“The line may look long, but it moves surprisingly fast. I had been to the West Village location before, but I actually enjoyed the Williamsburg location even more. Being able to grab a bagel and walk to the waterfront made the experience even better.
The smoked salmon bagel was absolutely delicious. The cream cheese, the salmon, and the bagel itself were all amazing. The fresh orange juice was also excellent and paired perfectly with the bagel. If you’re visiting with your partner or a friend, you can easily share one because they’re quite filling. Definitely worth the wait!“

“oh nothing is better than this bagel cream chese lox nova LOX“

“I had such a wonderful afternoon grabbing a bite at this spot on Vanderbilt Ave. There is something so relaxing about sitting outside and watching the neighborhood go by.

The pizza was absolutely delicious and hit the spot perfectly. I especially loved that they served water in a glass swing-top bottle, which felt like such a nice, thoughtful touch. I will definitely be back again soon.“

“Best bagels I’ve had in a very long time. The staff brightened my day thoroughly. The older gentleman that helped me out was the kindest soul I’ve ever met in my entire life. Definitely check out this spot if you ever have the chance.“

“I went to Leon’s a little past 8am on a weekday and as expected, line wasn’t long at all! I still was on a time crunch so I ended up ordering my bagel for pick up through DoorDash which ended up being a tad faster. I got the Bacon Egg & Cheese on a plain bagel with a side of hot honey. I HIGHLY recommend the hot honey - it was a game changer!! They do not skimp out on the egg or the bacon, and with the hot honey on every bite, it was so enjoyable (& also lasted me for lunch)! 😊“

“The best bagels in BK!“

“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.“

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

“Stopped in for a couple breakfast bagels and coffee. Great Everything bagel that was toasted to perfection and light airy on the inside. The perfect NY bagel. It was lowkey the day we went and there werent many people in line which was nice.“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“I love the food, ambience and service.“

“I started coming here every morning because they have the cheapest large cup of coffee in Park Slope, it’s also always good and always hot, but I kept coming every day because they are the best people and the bagels are good too:)“

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

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

“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😁“

“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.“

“Out of the 5 bagel shops in the area, Baker’s Dozen bagels are the best IMO…they are cooked to chewy perfection! Not doughy. They also have a great cold beverage selection. Plus, the guys are always friendly! I’m a fan!“

“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“

“This place was so cute! I enjoyed the energy of the workers and my bagel was very cheap! For it to be a bougie Coney Island lol I only paid 4.25 for a mozzarella and scallion cream cheese bagel. The bagel tasted so yummy and FRESH! This def will become a place that keep coming back to ! 😊💕“

“Lovely place with great food. I had the bacon cheeseburger and it was cooked perfectly.

The service was great too. They are very friendly and attentive to their customers. Food was gone before I realized I should take a picture“

“Very good place for bagel breakfast sandwiches. I coke here everytime im around. Food is always on point and the employees hospitality is unparalleled. Keel in mind, The place is a bit small and does not provide a dining option but the food will not disappoint you.“

“I’ve been going to bad bagels for about a year now and I can confidently say it’s been extremely delicious and consistent. I always get a scallion cream cheese everything bagel. It’s perfectly toasted and always ready within a minute or two. I’ve also noticed that all the staff are so kind! They always make my day. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a bagel in Bushwick! <3“

“I have ordered from Joe at bagel villa for years. He's my go to for catering orders for work and personal events. All orders always arrive on time and the food is always very fresh. All the employees are always very courteous and do a terrific job. Food is always delicious and fresh. Place is always spotless and sanitary. Best bagel store in NYC.“

“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“

“Best pastrami Sammie around“

“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“

“Way better than I was expecting. I ordered from “Kin House” and got some veggie lo mein and wings that were both pretty good! The green beans needed to be cooked more but once I threw them on the cast iron it was great! I definitely will try another of the “ wonder restaurants” on the app.“

“Food was amazing I come everyday with my 2 kids and both kids as picky eaters they both love the food here and service is amazing less then 10 min and I already had my food served nice and hot . I have brought family here and they always say 10/10. Really recommend this spot if you want the best service and the best food.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“This place is FANTASTIC! I was in search of a good bagel sambo and they delivered! I also highly recommend the coffee cake, my lawd it is good! If you are in the area come here, you will not be dissapointed....my only regret is not visiting this place sooner during my stay.“

“Great place to meet potential buyers when you’re selling Bicycles, the coffee is not bad either“

“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..“

“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!!“

“Definitely a local gem! Out of all their locations, I prefer this location on foster. I love coming when Sharon is here ! She’s got the best customer service, super welcoming, and attentive. Their bagels and coffee bring me back to the 2000’s. Iykyk!“

“I just came from Berlin, Germany and this place would fit right in!! Very unique and cute. Loved it.“

“Love these guys. I just came back in to grab some breakfast after moving away from the area 3 years ago, and they all remembered me and treated me like family. Besides the delicious breakfast, this is a real family place. I’m leaving the state now and wish I could take this place with me.“
