Incredible place with a great attention. You may have to wait a little to order your bagel but once you’re inside it’s quick. The food is amazing, I ordered the BLT bagel and it was really really good. I recommend ordering the orange juice, one of the best.

The new Kossar’s owner has modified the recipe and switched to electric convection ovens. The Bialy are just terrible. Somehow tough and rubbery just a hour out of the ovens. Just completely distinct from the original Kossar’s recipe. Grocery store bialy would beat these in a blind taste test any day. How tragic. Don’t be deceived by the heritage of the name. These are junk with a nice label.

Good place. What a New York bagel should be. We had an everything bagel with some lox cream cheese.it wasn't too doughy or too thin. Place has a nice vibe, like an old school place where old people have second dates. Service is very efficient. I would go back.

Delicious bagel and the staff was super nice

I ordered a toasted bagel with light butter. I got a heavily buttered barely toasted bagel for $4.50. Couldn’t eat it ?

Not much of a bagel person but was attracted by the long line on a Sunday morning. The shop looks authentic and decided to try a bagel. To my surprise, the shop is very vibrant and fast pace. Fresh cream cheese of various flavors are displayed like tubs of ice cream in the chilled shelf and look amazing. Got a pumpernickel bagel that's loaded with cream cheese. Also very surprised to find freshly squeezed orange juice that completed the hearty natural breakfast. Very very yummy. An excellent find just because I was nosy ?. Will definitely revisit ?
