Bagels Restaurants near Howard Beach, NY

“Piping hot coffee and delicious fresh bagels with spreads!!!!“

“Still a decent bagel store but used to be a great one prices up hardly any cream cheese..“

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

“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.“

“Probably the most special place to me in NYC. I love the bagel menu (super heebster forever), the atmosphere, and the workers. There’s nothing quite like taking a number, browsing the desserts, and squeezing into the shop between all kinds of humans. Russ & Daughters exemplifies what NYC is to me. 🩵“

“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!“

“Vast variety of fresh thick and fluffy reasonably priced bagels, spreads and deli. Small lunch counter for enjoying the sites and street sounds. I was traveling so carrying around cream cheese was near impossible but I will definitely be back to try again next trip.“

“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.“

“I simply LOVE it!!!“

“I love Curley’s! Best shop to open in Sunnyside! Food is always good and consistent, staff is always friendly and inviting and it’s great to see the Boss being present and supportive of his staff. I also enjoy their Instagram posts. I love that they deliver now!“

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

“A true “holy grail” of bagel shops. Their menu is the perfect balance of the classic NYC bagels we know and love, but with some newer flavor combos added to the menu that make eating here both nostalgic and exciting. The Presto Pesto is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city. Make sure you try their chocolate muffins as well. While it can get busy, the staff are friendly and attentive.“

“My family and I love this place. Food is delicious, customer service is phenomenal! They go above and beyond to make their customers happy and to feel welcomed when you come into the store and even when they deliver for you! Not to mention deliveries are fast and reliable. A must try place!“

“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!“

“The Vegan Prime Bacon Egg & Cheese was worth every penny Definitely order the Prime Bacon Egg & Cheese ($12.95) Featuring Prime Roots, Applewood Bacon, Egg & Cheese (everything bagel). Updated from previous review on 2026-03-15“

“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.“

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

“Yo Alex, you’re the man. You said this chopped cheese was gonna be the best—and you weren’t kidding. This is hands down the best chopped cheese I’ve had on the island without crossing over into Brooklyn.

The staff is super friendly, the whole place feels like home, and Alex himself is a serious jokester. Honestly, the entire experience felt like a Seinfeld episode in the best way possible. And shoutout to the guy behind the stove—you can tell he put real love into that roll.

I’ll definitely be back.“

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

“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 don’t get all the hype. I’ve had better tasting bagels before I thought this bagel shop would blow my mind lol. They have good bagels, I just don’t get why people line up for them when there are so many better bagel places around. Although they have a lot of bagel types so I’m still giving 4 stars since the service is fast and the bagel selections“

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

“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.“

“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).“

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

“The best bagels in BK!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“This place was recommended to us for our “authentic NYC bagel stop” while on our trip and it did NOT disappoint!!!!

We stopped in at 11am on a Friday and there was no line, and even a few tables open (yes, this place has tables inside for you to sit and enjoy your bagels…it’s awesome). Dude at the register was super nice, and we were kind of still deciding our order when we were next which he was super patient about.

I got the bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel (plus avocado) and my husband got the same but with vegan bacon (which he said was delicious!). We paired our sandwiches with iced lattes, which were way better than we were expecting. We snagged a comfy table and both ate our entire orders. We nearly went back for seconds to try something else on the menu! We left just before 12:30, which appeared to be when the lunch rush was coming in. The line was pretty long but moving quickly on our way out.

Really hope we can make it back here before we leave NYC! One of the best, if not the best, bagel I’ve had, and in a clean, comfortable place with great service. A gem of a bagel shop!!“

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

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

“The bagel is very chewy, so if that is what you're looking for, give Apollos a try. Small menu makes for easy ordering, and the bagels are fresh! I prefer the tomato and cream cheese on an everything, it's bright from the tomato and creamy from the cheese. Can't go wrong.“

“i was in there today and had the best experience. besides having the “perfect” bagel (dark on outsider and soft on inside) the three people who helped me were the friendliest, most kind and helpful employees; christian, jeiry and bridget are fantastic at what they do. pop up, the three of them are a nice reflection of their superiors and of the pop up brand. please 🙏 thank them for me.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“A great local bagel and sandwich corner spot! I love coming here for their freshly made bagels — always warm, soft, and satisfying. They offer a great variety of fillings and cheese spreads, all of which taste super fresh. The prices are just right, and the staff is quick, friendly, and attentive. Definitely a go-to for a solid breakfast or lunch bite.“

“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.“

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

“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 :)“

“I just couldn’t understand how a simple bagel could be this heavenly delicious??? Had to visit Apollo Bagel at least one time every time im here in NY. Tried the flavors and my personal fav is the tomato cream cheese with everything bagel!! Don’t be fooled by its simpleness, as the bagel itself, the crispness, the salt flake, the tomato, the cream cheese, the seasoning..everything is just absolutely wonderfully made! But what stood out to me the most is its crispness. ✨🤌🏻 Idk what they did to make it that crispy and crunchy but OMG if this is not heaven, idk what is. I’ll be missing Apollo when I get back and looking forward to my next visit!!“

“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 spent a week in New York, and every single morning started with a bagel from Bagel Express. It quickly became our daily routine. Hands down, these were the best bagels I’ve ever had.

Not only are the bagels amazing, but the coffee is great as well, and the service is friendly and efficient. Everything about this place made our mornings better.

I would highly recommend Bagel Express to anyone visiting New York!“

“This is my go-to bagel shop. I usually come for the breakfast wrap—it’s so delicious that I keep coming back, and at this point they already know my order when I walk in. Great food, friendly staff, and always a reliable favorite. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“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.“

“Love the breakfast bagels & coffee. Ines and the rest of the staff are very kind and they make you feel welcome. Every order is made with care and the team is very accommodating with custom orders. It's my go-to neighborhood bagel & coffee spot! Also plenty of seating.“

“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.“

“Definately my favourite bagel place in the neighborhood. I tried both take out and dine in. The quality of the food is great, tons of cream cheese options! the restaurant has a few tables, they are quite small. It gets BUSY quickly, so finding a spot in rush hours isn't always easy. I've seen the line wrapping around the corner but they are also very fast.
They have another location as well in UWS, and I once placed my order for pickup in the wrong location and they managed it internally and still gave me my lunch. Absolutely love this place.“

“Really good bagels with a shmear... great coffee! Countermen first rate.“

“Awesome bagels! Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing!“
