Bagels Restaurants in New York, NY

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

“We went directly here after eating at the Cafe because I had my heart set on an onion bagel, and possibly a garlic bagel. The Cafe didn't have either option but I needed them in my life. So we walked over right after. Super cute small spot. Beautiful smoked fish in the cases, amazing cream cheese options. I so wanted the caviar cream cheese, but we just ate and we were gonna be walking around for a few hours. So I got 2 onion and 2 garlic bagels. They thought we was nuts not wanting anything done with them. Like I said I just needed them gonna enjoy it tomorrow morning as our Great American Road Trip continues to Boston. Personally next time.. I'd go to this original location, more variety, of bagels and cream cheese, but no seating. So pick what works for you but definitely Go! 100% recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing hot and fresh bagels. I stopped in here just to get my wife a bagel. I had every intention of getting a deli sandwich elsewhere. However, I took one bite of her everything bagel and OMG. This was hot and doughy and simply delicious. I ended up ordering an everything bagel with salmon and cream cheese. This was easily one of the best bagels I have ever eaten. On top of that the staff were very friendly. They were not just friendly to me but to all of the customers that came in while I was sitting at the counter eating my slice of heaven. This is a great place to get a bagel.“

“Delicious bagels and schmear!!“

“This is probably one of the places you would just walk by without noticing it. Yet this would be a mistake.

It’s a great place for a very nice breakfast. The food is excellent, prepared with attention to detail and love, the staff is friendly and attentive. Especially Francesca and Sophie are two lovely young ladies ☺

Definitely one of the best paces for breakfast on the Manhattan financial district!“

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

“You might wait a while, but your stomach will thank you. These people work hard and it shows in the products they produce.“

“you have to try the dill pickle schemer“

“Just saw a Tik Tok where the staff went out of their way to put up a ramp to accommodate a gentleman who is a wheelchair user. Good on ya, guys! 🙌 Kindness matters! 🤍“

“Utopia Bagels is definitely one of the best bagel places in New York, and after my visit, I can understand why it's so highly rated.

The bagels were fresh, delicious, and lived up to the hype. But what impressed me even more was the staff. They were always smiling, friendly, and more than happy to help, especially for first-time customers who weren't familiar with the menu. They patiently explained the different options without making us feel rushed.

To be honest, this kind of genuine customer service is becoming harder to find, especially in a busy metropolitan city like New York. It really made the whole experience even better.

Kudos to the entire team for not only serving great bagels but also making customers feel genuinely welcome. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in New York. 🥯👏“

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

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

“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!!“

“Awesome place for bagels, especially super early before a flight because they are open 24 hours. Also right next to a subway entrance so very conveniently located. Didn’t try anything else on the menu. We went here twice during our stay in Manhattan. Friendly service especially whoever was there the first time, didn’t catch a name. I had an everything bagel with lox and a cream cheese bagel with bacon. Both very good“

“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!“

“Bagels in NY? YES PLEASE! & this is the right place for anyone. I had a blueberry bagel with apple cinnamon cream cheese 🤤. The drink was a Strawberry Match, WITH REAL STRAWBERRIES at the bottome, 😍, wish I would've had 1 everyday I was there! Lots of options definitely a must have!“

“awesome bagels, yummy bagels!“

“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 must-try bagel spot in Manhattan.

Apollo Bagels is often recommended as one of the best places for bagels in New York, so we had to check it out.

We ordered the smoked salmon everything bagel, and it was absolutely delicious.

The bagel is made with sourdough, which makes it slightly less chewy than a traditional bagel, but I really liked the flavor and seasoning. It also looked beautiful—just as good visually as it tasted. It is served like an open face sandwich.

I do wish they had been a bit more generous with the smoked salmon.

That said, Apollo Bagels is definitely worth a visit. You’re very likely to enjoy it.“

“Friendly, helpful staff. Fantastic coffee!“

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

“I live down the street and Bagel Bob is my go to bagel spot in the area. The team is efficient, friendly, and overall lovely! The bagels are great and the coffee is too.

In addition to a multitude of bagel flavors, they have Hazelnut and French vanilla iced coffee flavors too. Love supporting local!

The only question I have, who’s Bob?“

“34th Bagels & More was one of our favorite bagel spots during our time in Midtown Manhattan. While in New York we made it a point to have bagels every day, and this place definitely delivered that classic NYC bagel experience. Located right in Midtown, it’s a great quick stop whether you’re heading out for the day or grabbing breakfast before exploring the city.

The shop had a nice local neighborhood feel with a huge selection of fresh bagels, spreads, breakfast options, sandwiches, and coffee. I went with the onion bagel with jalapeño cream cheese, and it was perfect. The bagel was fresh, soft on the inside with a nice chewy texture, and the onion flavor really stood out. The jalapeño cream cheese added just the right amount of spice and creaminess without overpowering the bagel.

One thing you immediately notice is how fresh everything tastes. The portions were generous, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere had that busy New York breakfast vibe that makes the experience even better. If you’re staying around Midtown Manhattan and looking for a solid authentic bagel spot, this is definitely worth checking out.“

“Essa is my new go to when it comes to sending a taste of New York as a thank you. All 3 of my orders arrived quickly, were fresh as can be and got rave reviews from Oklahoma, California and Kansas. The flavored cream cheese in particular was mentioned as amazing. Thank you Essa Bagel and thanks also to Goldbelly for spreading good food and good cheer!“

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

“I eat @ Wonder (Hudson Sq. location) about 2 times a week. Food is amazing (Tejas, Limesalt and Streetbird are my go-to's) and always on time. Staff are helpful and polite. The Top 40 music they play from the 90's into current is a highlight as well.“

“Got lucky and had almost no wait upon arrival. The hype is very much understandable in my opinion- got an everything bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. the bagel itself was crispy from the outside, perfect balance with everything on top, and the drizzle of oil definitely improved it even more. 4/5 because it was a tad expensive in my opinion (20$ with the coffee) and there is not really anywhere to sit comfortably- but there’s a cute park nearby, so I’d recommend to just take your food there and enjoy :) would def come back!“

“Used the food truck in midtown, was in nyc for the fifa WC, from the UK. I had the chicken over rice, was served by a guy named Meddy. Very nice guy and super friendly even tho he was wrapping up a 12 hr shift. The food was banging, and the portion was more than enough, I had to finish the last bit in the hotel room. So big up meddy my Egyptian brother, wish we had more time to engage in our conversation. So keep doing what your doing meddy. Would highly recommend the food from this truck. A must try for any1 visiting midtown nyc.“

“I have to say this is a busy location and well run. It’s also great to see that the team is very diverse and inclusive!

Everyone here seems super friendly and you can see this location is clean and sanitary!

I highly recommend“

“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.“

“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😁“

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

“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 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.“

“My only complaint about this place is that we didn't go the first morning we were in NYC. The kid and I each got a BEC on a plain bagel and two waters. Service was quick, super friendly (they remembered us after only our second time in), and oh man was it tasty. Very reasonable price and right around the corner from our hotel.“

“Great place, delicious food but standing in line with the sun beating down on you is unbearable and also I wanted juice but the sun was also beating down on the fruit and veggies no thank you.“

“Liberty Bagels is my new go-to bagel spot in the city now. The bagels are exactly how they should be—crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside—and the cream cheese is always fresh, made from scratch, and loaded on thick.

Word of advice: don’t roll up on a weekend unless you’ve got patience. The place gets absolutely mobbed. Hit it on a weekday if you can, and you’ll spend more time enjoying your bagel than standing in line. Either way, it’s worth the trip.“

“Great bagels; Great location.“

“awesome bagels, yummy bagels!“
