Wanting to celebrate Festivus properly, I took the bus to the Second Avenue location. This location is so sparsely adorned, one wonders if it's about to close; you need to look inside to see if it's open. Staff was courteous and helpful. Egg salad on a bagel was $9.90; a half-dozen to go took the bill over $20. The egg salad needed salt. I wouldn't go again.

An unassuming place serving up delicious bagel sandwiches. I had the lox on an everything bagel and it was fantastic.

Mostly writing this to remind myself not to come here again. What once was my favorite bagel place in the UES, now provides small, stale, tasteless bagels. Got the whole wheat everything and the flavor of the bagel somehow overpowered the scallion cream cheese. There were also way too many scallions in the cream cheese but I’m just so sad about the quality of bagels. Guess I need a new go to bagel place, 😩

The bagel was so small and thin, barely toasted and wayyyyyy too much cream cheese. Disappointing :(

Solid NYC Bagel. If you are in the area, it's worth the stop. I had an egg bagel with veggie cream cheese. Didn't disappoint.

Second time in a row they put ketchup on my egg and cheese. (no mention of ketchup in the order).
When I called, Manager seemed unconcerned, sounded like it gets these a lot lol

The bagels were really fresh.. although the everything bagel I got was flavorless. There was no roasted garlic flavor or roasted onions or even the tang of salt that one expects with an everything bagel. The corn muffin had no flavor at all. The wonderful corn crumble was missing. It definitely was more cake than corn muffin.
The sandwichMy friend got was so packed full of cheese. When she bit it, the cheese stretched for miles, it seemed. She said she enjoyed it very much. That was an egg and cheese with salt and pepper on an everything bagel. She like me was disappointed in the bagel flavor but said it was really fresh.
The service was mediocre at best. We asked for a toasted corn muffin with butter & just got a corn muffin. We asked for a specific flavor of ruggulah and got everything but the requested flavor.
The store itself was dark and dismal. Had I not been brought in by a friend?I would never have gone in by myself.

This is the second time they forgot to add avocado to the avocado, egg and cheese sandwich.
Just had a really gross bacon, egg and cheese from here. The bagel was stale and the bacon tasted like it had been sitting out. The egg was flavorless and smelled like plastic. To add insult, my bill was $15 for this disgusting sandwich and one coconut water. Steer clear.
One positive is that the staff is very nice.

I ate the signature menu item, Everything Bagel, with salmon + cream cheese added. Compared to other bagels, the salmon was not salty and delicious.

Like what happened to this place? I've eaten here frequently for years, the quality dropped off a cliff. I came back today to see if I should give it another chance, and for some reason my bacon egg and cheese has ketchup on it? Not only that, but it's dry and flavorless, just like last time. I'd might as well light my money on fire

I always love an everything bagel with cream cheese and lox from here. It’s best when you come in the morning.

Interior design is kinda sterile and cold, but the salmon bagels were good. Salmon did not taste fishy.
