Bagels Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“Oh my goodness they are the best mini bagels I have ever eaten..“

“What a sandwich! Probably *the* most flavorfully complex sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. Got the Cuban torta with “everything on it”. The owner did not disappoint.

Every bite is a dive into a wonderfully savory chew of complex flavors. I’m amazed.

The only thing that is missing is some lays potato chips to lay on this bad boy.

Straight out of scooby doo“

“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!!“

“good place“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Great house special bagels - everything bagel with lox, tomato, capers and scallion cream cheese. Iced coffee was good too, strong and not too sweet with flavorings. Staff was really welcoming and helpful on our first visit. Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for a good bagel. I’d go back without a doubt.“

“The best bagel I had in NYC. Soft and chewy toasted bagels, freshly sliced gravlax lox, scallion cream cheese with capers, onions and tomatoes. Is there anything more quintessential bagel-ly than that??

Take a ticket when you enter and listen closely for them to call your number. Even when there's a lot of people in the store, the line moves fast.“

“We stumbled across BtB on our way to LaGuardia completely by chance. Ben recognized our simplistic bacon egg and cheese orders and inquired about if we had heard about his specials. We hadn’t, but we promptly changed our orders and he changed our palates. Best food decision I’ve ever made. Great people, great story, great food. 🙌“

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

“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 simply LOVE it!!!“

“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 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.“

“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! 🥯☕️“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Me and my friends met the owner Robert and he was so welcoming and nice to us! The bagels were good but the cream cheese was the star of the show!

The mango cream cheese
Bought me to my knees
Robert was so kind,
So glad this store was a random find!“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of the best bagel sandwiches in the city! Sooo many choices so I asked the lady at the counter what her favorite thing on the menu was and she definitely steered me in the right direction. I ended up ordering the Cubano grilled cheese and got an onion bagel instead of bread. The cheese pull…. Flawless. Highly recommend!!“

“I always get great service in this place. The food is fantastic (especially for the price). Their salads are made fresh on the spot... they cut everything fresh as they need em... they don't store the lettuce pre cut in tubs like most restaurants do. This is just an example of what sets Ben's apart from most places. Now, yes, I know they pride themselves for their bagels, but truth be told, I don't eat bagels... but my wife LOVES their bagels. -Boots“

“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

“It always a pleasure visiting JV Hot Bagels. The menu are impressive, with a variety of mouth-watering options that are bursting with flavor. The service is impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who make my wife and I feel like VIPs. The owner even remembers are names.To top it off, we were surprised with complimentary meals from time to time. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable experience. You won't be disappointed!"“

“The bagels of my Brooklyn youth!“

“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“

“If you're craving a real bagel — the kind that’s crisp on the outside, perfectly chewy on the inside, and generously packed with flavor — B & B Bagels delivers in every way. But what truly sets this place apart isn't just the incredible bagels (though they are some of the best you’ll find); it’s the entire experience.
From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warm, welcoming aroma of fresh-baked bread and a friendly smile from the staff behind the counter. The team at B & B is attentive, efficient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Whether you're grabbing breakfast on the go or sitting down for a relaxed bite, the service is consistently top-notch. I highly recommend this place!“

“I moved out of the area, but I’ve been hyped for this new bagel spot, and today I finally got to check it out. The place was packed, with almost a line out the door, but I hung in there. Totally worth it—the bagel did not disappoint! I went with my usual (toasted everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, bacon, tomato, and cucumber), and it was perfect. Even with everyone waiting, the vibe stayed chill, the bagels are baked fresh right there, and they crank them out as fast as you order. The spot has a super cool atmosphere, and I'll definitely be back whenever I can. About time downtown got itself a legit bagel joint.“

“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’m leaving a five star review because the food was delicious and the service was courteous;

they forgot an everything bagel off my order, which really bummed me out, and nonetheless the people who answered the phone made me feel heard and helped me get a refund for it.

Thank you! Delicious maple bacon and incredible bagels!“

“Most excellent! Recommend!“

“The bagels here are so good, they are life changing. After trying a bagel here, I realized I had never had a good bagel in my life before this one, and I will never look at another bagel the same way again. If I could give a million stars out of five, I would.“

“親切な接客と美味しいベーグル“

“We had a great experience at The Regular while in town for the marathon. The food was amazing and I can’t say enough about the friendly staff, they were all attentive and a big shout out to the barista in the front…she greeted everyone with a smile and was so pleasant going above and beyond to make everyone that walked in the door feel like so welcomed.“

“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!)“

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

“Discovered these bagels while we were in the area. Line moves pretty quickly, takeout only, bagels are piping hot especially when early and love their garlic bagels though they have every kind! It’s no wonder they’re on the Best Bagels of NYC list! Thanks, Empire Bagels!“

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

“I love your bagels. They’re the best in Queens & Brooklyn combined- but I’m trying to order via a delivery app and there’s no way for me to surpass the option of how toasted I want the bagels, and I don’t want them toasted period. I can’t write a note in saying I don’t want them toasted either, so I won’t be ordering via the app. I would just come get them but I’m home with Covid so I can’t. Please fix this on the delivery apps and add a non-toasted option so we can order again!“

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

“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.“

“Every neighborhood in this partisan city has its best place that makes bagels fresh all day and serves them with cream cheese, lox, or whitefish. This is that place for Greenwich Village. The bagel has gorgeous texture and there’s always something hot—straight out of the oven. This isn’t just round bread, this is a proper NYC bagel. Live dangerously: Get the pumpernickel.“

“Oh my goodness, maybe hard to believe, but I've struggled to find a fantastic bagel lox in Park Slope. But no longer! Bagel House made me the most delicious and perfect bagel lox with all the right fixins. It's called the Lox Spectacular and that's exactly what it is. The service was wonderful as well. It's true, people remember how you made them feel. Bagel House made me feel like coming back. The atmosphere is nice for a quiet time to yourself or hanging out with some friends. The rest of the menu looked amazing, with a slew of smoothies, griddle platters, and many different types of omelettes, sandwiches and bagels. Way to go Bagel House!“

“One of the best bagel spots in Manhattan. Leon’s Bagel nails the classic New York bagel experience — fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of chewy. Their Classic Lox Sandwich is a must-try.

There’s no indoor seating, but they do have a few limited outdoor spots. If the weather’s nice, I recommend grabbing your bagel and coffee to go and heading over to Washington Square Park — it’s just a short walk away.

They also sell some great merch, though I do wish their house blend coffee beans were available for purchase — the coffee is that good.

Definitely worth a visit, even if it means taking a small detour. A real gem in the heart of Manhattan.“

“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 best bagels in BK!“
