Bagels Restaurants near East Elmhurst, NY

“Doesn’t deserve its 1.9 stars in my experience 😂 quick to be seated, quick to be waited on, food came out hot & actually really good (got the breakfast burrito + tots). I’d probably switch to bacon instead of sausage if I did it again but overall can’t complain about anything.“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“The best bagels hands down! This has become our "go to" stop each time we pass through NY for bagels. Great customer service. We can call ahead and they have the order ready for our multiple (and large) family order with everything perfect! Super helpful and also help with bringing the many bags out to the car! So much appreciation! Thanks guys! Can't wait to see you again!“

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“Delicious, great value for money bagels. I got the cream cheese and lox bagel and my friend got an olive cream cheese bagel. The bagel itself had a great texture and was not over filled. It was cut up nicely which made it convenient to eat on the go. Highly recommended“

“My first visit to NY. Heard good things about this place as it was ideally located next to our hotel. Food was fresh, service excellent and made to feel very welcome by the staff. It was a truly NY experience. Kind regards to the staff from your friends from London.“

“It was my first time there but certainly will not be my last. The cashiers knew we weren't from there but super super nice. I had THE BEST quiche I have EVER had. I joked that they sprinkled crack or something on it because I wanted to buy the WHOLE pie . It was beyond fluffy and delicious. It was mushroom, caramelized onion and cheese. I also has a side of bacon and home fries plus a hazelnut latte. It was less than $30 and beyond filling. I took 1/2 home because it was so much food. I didn't think to take a pic before I started eating, so no, that's not the whole quiche lol. Customer service was top tier and considering that NYC has a reputation for rude people (not true...mostly), this place makes you feel special!“

“The SMB absolutely blew me away. I thought it was a perfect balance of salty, sweet, light kick of spice. The beef was season so perfectly and was soft and tender. The egg was super fluffy and I really enjoyed the kimchi to add another flavor profile. The bagel itself was also delicious - light crunch on the outside but soft and chewy inside. Perfect texture and honestly it was such great value for a huge bagel. The owner gave out free rice balls because the wait was getting long and those were delicious too.“

“Yes please to all of it! We love this place.“

“I simply LOVE it!!!“

“Great choice for specialty bagel

As someone born and raised in New York, I’m always on the hunt for a solid bagel spot and Curley’s Bagels caught my attention. It’s a grab and go place, but the inside is surprisingly beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Definitely more elevated than your average bagel shop.

When I walked in, I was impressed by the variety. They had tons of specialty bagels, options with avocado and eggs, and even gluten-free bagels, which is a great choice for anyone with dietary needs. I was tempted to try something creative, but I decided to stick with a classic: a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese “my personal favorite”. Lol

The woman at the counter was super kind and helpful, and the overall vibe from the staff was warm and welcoming. Even though it was busy, my bagel was made quickly. I also grabbed a coffee, which had a nice bold, dark roast flavor. They offered oat milk, almond milk, and half and half something for everyone.

Biting into the bagel, it was everything I wanted: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with generously spread scallion cream cheese full of flavor and fresh herbs. Honestly, it felt more like a luxury bagel experience than your typical deli stop.

I spent about $9 for a bagel and coffee, which is a bit on the higher side, but the quality made it worth it. Plus, it was within walking distance from my doctor’s office, so it felt like a great find in the neighborhood.

If you’re nearby and want a quick, delicious bite with great service and thoughtful options, I definitely recommend checking out Curley’s Bagels. Enjoy“

“Absolutely the best! The bagels were so delicious and all the cream cheese were delicious. We went to the ones in Queens NYC The staff were great , Freedie was phenomenal! Will definitely come back!“

“I finally checked out PopUp Bagels, and the hype is totally justified. You absolutely have to get here early—like, when they’re still pulling those hot, fresh bagels out of the oven and tossing them into the bin! Nothing beats that feeling (or smell!) to kick off a New York morning.

I grabbed the three-pack with scallion cream cheese. All the bagels were great, but the Salt Bagel was the runaway winner for me. That perfect salty crunch outside with the hot, chewy inside…Unbelievably delicious !

Grab your hot bagel and a cup of coffee and you are all set. It's the ideal start to any day in the city! 🥯☕️“

“My brother and I needed something quick to eat for a late breakfast, so this was right by us. Read the reviews here and I agree: Excellent food, decent prices and quality service. Kept it simple with a sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Coffee was good too!

There’s not a whole lot of dining room space, so you’ll either have to take it to go or get lucky to find an empty table.“

“One of the top bagel spots in NYC, and the Presto Pesto bagel is actually one of my favorite bagels ever!! 🥯

Incredible bagel quality, crispy outside with generous seasoning, good chewiness, stuffed with egg, turkey sausage, avocado, arugula, pesto, and sun dried tomato cream cheese.

Everything here is outstanding, could not recommend more highly!“

“Amazing bagels and spreads! Sam’s the black and white cookies! We had v one and then made a second trip back to get the more!“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“The bagels of my Brooklyn youth!“

“I mean, the obvious 5 star review. Don't let them scare you off the belly - much saltier, true (don't add capers), but you can really taste the salmon for what it is that way. Lots of nice, decently priced gifts to take home, easy ordering system, they move relatively quickly. Chocolate babka is killer.“

“Fresh bagels, hand rolled and made onsite. Can’t beat the selection. I thought it would be a tourist trap due to its location, but it beat every other shop we tried.“

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

“The bagels are very good!! The worker Alex was super friendly and nice and quick. Definitely 10/10 and recommend. For sure coming back.“

“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

Come check it out I promise you won’t be disappointed“

“I ordered the chopped cheese at Bagel Chef, and it did not disappoint! The service was excellent—very attentive and welcoming. The staff really go above and beyond to make sure customers have the best experience possible. There’s also a wide variety of choices to eat and drink, so there’s something for everyone. With the combination of delicious food, great service, and friendly workers, this will definitely be my go-to spot from now on.“

“Neighborhood staple, in the City, too. Pastrami, Egg and Cheese on an Everything Egg Bagel, BEC (Bacon, Egg and Cheese), and TEC (Turkey, Egg and Cheese) on Wheat. All housemade Bagels so they're fresh and ready to go. They do other breakfast items, if needed: Pancakes, Homefries, etc.

Plenty of street parking.

Service is congenial and as swift as can be.“

“the food is delicious, the service and efficiency is on point! For NYC these prices are very affordable!“

“We visited B&B on 2nd ave bagels from Arizona and we wanted a quick bagel sandwich. Let me tell you these bagels were amazing! The employees were so friendly, my son dropped his sandwich outside and they even offered to replace it (he was almost done).“

“Was visiting NYC and we found this place by accident, so happy we did! The staff were very nice and professional. The food was delicious, and the bagels were massive! The shop was clean and had a nice seating area. Would definitely visit again!“

“I was visiting and asked someone on the street where I could grab a bagel and they directed me to Bagel Bob’s. So thankful they did. Best bagels, incredible people, generous friendly caring family people. They greeted me warmly every day, remembered what we talked about the day before, asked about my day and seemed genuinely interested. This was my first solo trip and they made me feel right at home. And a beautiful plant showed up on my last day which was lovely. I’ll definitely be staying in this neighborhood the next time I’m visiting but daily breakfast here just isn’t enough. I’m about to get a bagel sandwich to take to the airport with me with the homemade black and white they generously gave me on the house. Top notch place food and people. You won’t regret the trip here.“

“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😁“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“The most delicious bagel I have ever eaten! Cream cheese with pistachios and raisins. Thank you!“

“I ordered a flat sesame bagel and was given a plain one even though they confirmed they had the one i wanted so I removed one star for that because it's not the first time it's happened, other than that the place is great and the food has been consistently good.“

“The best bagels in BK!“

“Classic neighborhood staple. Been having the ham and egg since I was a kid. The two man team behind the counter can make you a sandwich in about 2-3 mins so if you’re running late for the F train you can still get a solid (and cheap) breakfast. The ice coffee is pretty good for deli coffee as well (ask for 1/2 sugar with vanilla!)“

“Apollo’s Lox Bagels are incredibly delicious and definitely among the best bagels in NYC. The hype is truly justified.

The bagel rolls are delicately toasted, and the salmon and cream cheese combination is perfect. A real treat!

Luckily, the shop in the East Village isn't as crowded as the location north of Washington Square Park. We didn't even have to wait 10 minutes on a Friday at 3 p.m., which is practically a world record in NYC. The team is quick and appropriately friendly.

Since there's hardly any seating, it's best to take your bagels to go and eat them in the chilled Tomkins Square Park.

Highly recommended!“

“I wish I was a New Yorker just so I could eat here every week! SO worth the hype! The line moves so quickly, the staff is so sweet & the BAGELS are melt in your mouth delicious. In our 5 day NY trip we ate here twice 🙂‍↕️ Leons is a MUST on your foodie list & deserves a 100/10 !!“

“Number 1 in my own personal world since 1994!!! The best and they never disappoint!!“

“Everything was delicious. We hosted a Purim breakfast at our temple and everyone was so happy and full. I personally put in the order myself and everything from ordering to delivery was so smooth. We ordered large quantity of variety of bagels with all types of cream cheeses, salmon salad, white fish and tuna. Plus we got crepes with ricotta cheese which were Devine. And we ordered lots of croissants 🥐 , plain and chocolate which by the way are huge. I can’t say enough how fresh and delicious everything was. Highly highly recommend this place!!“

“親切な接客と美味しいベーグル“

“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 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 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.“

“This place has the best bagels. Their bagels are so soft and delicious 😋. The scallion cream cheese is perfect. I love the variety of bagels they have and you cant beat the price. They always have a line outside but it goes rather quickly.“

“A very positive experience. We had breakfast here several times while our stay in New York. They have a wide selection of bagels and fillings. The service is fast and friendly. You can take it to go or eat it right there. A great way to start the day.“

“the best of everything!! I so love 5his place! i'ts just what king needed!!🥰“

“Broadway Bagel is good for a lot of things but it's better to tell you what its not good for because it's smaller. their pastrami, very chewy & fatty. I got a wrap & was horrible because I was fighting with the pastrami to bite off a piece & then getting fat in your mouth is disgusting. At times when I get a breakfast sandwich with bacon it's like that's when they choose to hide fatty bacon instead of giving you well cooked bacon. How does an establishment do that to their customers? The tuna wrap w/ French fries, I usually order but now they're adding lettuce when before it was onions & avocado now they're putting celery & adding lettuce. why did they mess with such a great sandwich? Certain staff I work with like their blueberry pancakes, homefries, BLT. But like I said too many times I bought a BLT & it was filled with a lot of fatty bacon. I look at my food before I eat it. They used to have different flavors of OJ, Mango/Pineapple, Strawberry/Banana/Orange, but now all they have is regular OJ. They're changing how they made stuff and they changed the working crew so all I can say is I mostly get breakfast. It's hit & Miss for a lot of things because I like my food the way anyone having a business should make the food for their customers; with love & as best as possible.“

“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.“
