Bagels Restaurants near Kew Gardens, NY

“Bagels are awesome, but if I see the guy without glasses at the register, I won’t bother going in. With the other guy, I can just go straight to the register and get a bagel with nothing on it and run out, instead of waiting on the sandwich line for 5-10 minutes.“

“With a name as generic as Bagel Shop in NYC, you better be good. Any concerns regarding quality were quickly dispelled when we walked through the door. The place was packed. We ordered a very basic selection of bagels and assorted spreads, nothing fancy. Overall, the food was great and the coffee was too...piping hot which is a plus. This is clearly a solid local spot with a well deserved reputation. We are glad we visitied and would return.“

“I simply LOVE it!!!“

“The hospitality here is truly unmatched. We were visiting from out of town, and it was immediately obvious that this is the kind of place with a loyal community of regulars. Ben greeted us with so much kindness, humor, and genuine hospitality that we felt like regulars ourselves.

We trusted him to choose our order, and every recommendation was absolutely delicious. What started as a quick pit stop before we left NYC ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. We left jokingly daydreaming about moving to Queens just so we could become regulars ourselves. If you’re in the area, you need to add it to your list.“

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

“Definitely the best bagel 🥯 in Queens , possibly the best bagel 🥯 in New York. Loving Curley’s Bagels 🥯 ❤️ #Bagels“

“Did catering order with them for a healthcare organization event - it was DELICIOUS! Jose at the store helped me with it. And as promised, he was ON-TIME, and gave us extra food as well. His customer service was very pleasant, and also very easy to work with. Will definitely place more catering orders with them.“

“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.“

“I come here all the time its amazing from food to drinks to customer service. But I recently bought 2 bacon egg n cheese for $10 each and could not eat it it was fresh and tasted not like it usually does and hardly had bacon. Bought a bagel it was hard for $6 I was really surprised it was for me and my kids but we could not eat anything. And the eggs were extremely fresh...smelling can i get a refund ?“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for many years. Love the fresh hot bagels when it comes right out of the oven. The menu option is vast, and definitely can’t get to taste every single item on it, (even though I it’s very tempting to try it all). Try it at least once, you will be coming back for more.“

“Best bagel spot in Manhattan!
Fresh, delicious, and exactly what you expect from a true New York bagel. The place is clean, the service is friendly and fast, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.

Great food, great vibe, and a must-visit if you’re looking for an authentic NYC bagel experience. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“delicious indian brunch! they’re new and they’re doing the best and it’s actually so cute. indian food was made to order vs the frozen indian food you usually get around nyc. we had chicken curry (29) and made it spicy and it was beyond delicious! definitely order the puri also- it was the perfect texture!“

“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!“

“One of the best spots for bagels in LIC. They have lots of choices, with different options for breakfast and lunch, and there is plenty of seating, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy your food.

When it first opened, I honestly think it deserved 5 stars. The taste and quality felt better back then. Now it still tastes good, but not quite at the same level.

I am taking one star off because of that drop in quality, but it is still one of the best bagel places around.“

“GGB catered an event for us and it was top notch all around!! The food was excellent, the presentation was beautiful, and the staff were friendly and on top of everything from set up through clean up. The team was easy to work with and helped us bring our vision to life. Thank you!!“

“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 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 :)“

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

“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!!“

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

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

“The best bagel spot in Long Island by far. Everyone there is so nice, the place is always super clean, and it smells AMAZING the second you walk in. You can tell all of their food is fresh because everything tastes incredible every single time. The staff are so friendly and genuinely great people. The minute I walk in, they already know exactly what I ordered.
I genuinely can’t get enough of their veggie cream cheese, and their bacon egg & cheese sandwiches are phenomenal. I honestly wish they were open past 2 PM because I would 100% be getting this for dinner too. Highly recommend this place if you want amazing food and even better people.“

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

“Honestly one of the best bagel spots in the area! The bagels are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. I got the garlic bagel with chicken salad and it was so good.
Staff is super friendly and the place has a really homey vibe. Tons of cream cheese options to choose from. Plus the prices are way better than other bagel places around here - you're not gonna spend $20 on breakfast lol.
Clean space with good seating both inside and out. Been coming here regularly and it never disappoints. Definitely recommend if you're in the Upper East Side!“

“I was in a super rush to get to the airport this morning and I had a family of eight to feed before I get there I called Moshe at the Giant bagel store and gave him the order over the phone and 10 Minutes later the food was waiting for me all packed in bags and boxes Moshe and his wonderful staff even his wife came to the rescue I can’t thank them enough. The food was fresh and yummy Ha made sure I have drinks and even napkins and btw he speaks Hebrew too 😁👍 Love this place Shana Tova to all of you at Giant Bagel Thanks Dganit Israel“

“very friendly food is delicious great prices“

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

“I got an everything pumpernickel flagel(seemed more like a bagel). Bagel was very fresh and tasty. Staff were courteous and friendly. The seating was ample and comfortable. Check it out, it doesn’t disappoint. I’ll be back for sure.“

“best coffee shop in Manhattan 😊“

“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😁“

“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!!“

“I didn't know, is there a legit 'bagel club?' Found this spot via google maps and thought to give it a try while waiting for my nearby coffee shop to open. Today, before 8am the place was quiet. Only one other customer, who was engaged in a conversation with the guy behind the counter. The shop is spacious and the fact that it wasnt busy and the food items for sale were very spread out, made the place seem very big, too big for the amount of business seen and lack of table seating. It was clean though. Customer service was ok. Straight forward.
I went with the sunflower seed (flat) bagel. Not a usual bagel flavor of other bagel shops. It is actually very good. A lot of seeds. If you like sunflower seeds, go for it. I guess it is flat to accomodate all the seeds.
I also grabbed two pumperknickel and one everything toasted with cream cheese.
The everything wasnt toasted enough for my liking. There was a decent amount of creme cheese.
Overall the vibe was off, very quiet for a weekday morning. Maybe they are more of a mid-day lunch spot. They had everything a bagel shop typically has e.g. cream cheese flavors. But not heaping amounts of each compared to City locations which anticipate much more business. While it is a decent place, i wont pick this club over others if I had to choose.“

“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.“

“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.“

“After my cinnamon raisin bagel with blueberry cream cheese.. I will never be the same.
Not just this ...everything is amazing. Please NEVER leave the neighborhood. I always mean to leave photos... but i never make it that far. 🥰“

“I drove down from Canada and found Beach Bagel through google, and I’m so glad that I did. Their bagels are absolutely delicious - 10/10 recommend!! A special thanks to all of the staff, particularly Mohamed, who exude such warmth and kindness. My family will definitely be back :)“

“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.“

“Can’t go wrong here. Frequently get bagels to bring home to my family but recently got some pastries and Easter pies. Everything is always high quality and delicious!!! 10 of 10!“

“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!“
