Kossar's Bagels & Bialys (LES)

They’re using real eggs, cooking em up to order. Line moved fast. A good breakfast option.

I love the bagels here. Been here a couple times. Customer service is always good. Food comes out fast. Bagels are always fresh and always has a good amount of cream cheese in each bite.

Bagels are great, right out of the oven. Great selection of bagel sandwiches and spreads. Coffee is inconsistent.

Are you serious? You can’t serve bagels like this. Completely burnt. This has to be at least a health hazard. Never again. Be careful, everyone.

driest bagel i ever had it took like 300 chews per minute to digest

They don't sell bialys. Their rendition is an onion soft roll. I paid for a chocolate croissant, opened bag in car, not there. Asked for a challah bagel, got French toast, which was stale. After a 15 min wait. The register lady was super sweet. The cook however looked very unhappy. The place was spotless. I remember the old Kossars. I won't be back

Food is good but they take online orders, don't fulfill them and won’t bother to tell ya until the day it’s supposed to arrive. Buyer beware if you’re shipping via Goldbelly—there’s always “fulfillment issues”

Kossar's is an institution on the Lower East Side with and I've had their bagels several times over the years. However, the quality of their bagels and their service has dropped significantly over the last few months, and it's now not a place I can recommend to anyone. Bagels often taste stale and they have very few bagels available at the store. When I placed an online order with them recently, it took them 1.5 hours to bake the bagels, and there was no update to us on delivery times. We ended up having to cancel the order; they wouldn't even process the cancellation on their end.

The place has gone downhill and is hitting bottom — undertrained, disorganized + overwhelmed staff; undercooked bagels; filthy interior — I mean: Bottom.

Great bagels and it was cool watching them make them while waiting for my order. They also have the fresh squeezed juice machine which is delicious. Coffee was just ok. Cream cheese was pretty solid but not the best I have ever had. Staff was nice considering how busy it was and it is a small place. No vegan cream cheese but they did have a peanut butter option.

New ownership got rid of all the classic LES sandwiches and replaced them with avocado toast. An annoying thing to do to an LES institution...

I got the everything bagel with cream cheese, salmon, and the works. Very standard and did not disappoint.

Took my order incorrectly and overcharged me for it. Was waiting for over 10mins for my sandwich. Tasted fine but nothing to get excited about.
