High quality, unfussy bagel place with an old school vibe. Proper NYC bagels and some great ready made to-go options. They also serve iced coffee (not cold brew) which is hard to find these days!

I really want to love this place as it’s a local small business but after giving it a chance multiple times it fails to deliver on the positive reviews given. It’s honestly overpriced and really not very good. Maybe the bagels are made daily, but the $1.50 everything bagels we bought were no better than day old, grocery store ones. On other occasions we’ve grimaced over paying $20 for a bagel with lox and cream cheese only to be disappointed by its diminutive size and taste. Only redeeming quality is they apparently make the bagels for the bacon egg and cheese sandwiches from Three Legged Cat in the neighborhood which are 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳. Maybe they save their best bagels for wholesale buyers.

Really enjoyed our visit today, shared a bagel and lox, Scottish Salmon was delicious. Three guys behind the counter worked hard to get our order out. Everything in the glass display looked delicious. Last but not least was the package of Cinnamon Baka that I just devoured, oh my that was good.

I had high expectations with the top reviews and name — nova. The interior of the shop is cute, and filled with specialty products.

My bagel was the densest, hardest and smallest bagel I’ve had in years. It was barely edible — I think the bagel may have been a day old. The salmon was very rich and flavorful, however the quantity received for the price (small bagel) it was a ripoff.

I’d recommend skipping this spot for bagels, however I would absolutely purchase smoked salmon there!

My jaw still hurts from biting the bagel as I type this.

This is a classic delicious deli. The meat salmon and cream cheese on display was amazing. Bagels are good, too. They also specialize in caviar. The pastrami sandwich is what I came for. They were large and amazing.

This is by far the best Jewish appetizing store in all of the 5 borough’s. No hype, just fantastic everything. Homemade and Handmade…. the last time I had Rugalach or Hamantashen as good as these were my grandmothers; she was an expert baker and chef from Europe. Thank you Sean and team for an expert catering experience!!! Can’t wait to have you cater our next occasion. Thank you!!!
