We came here because we were traveling with a companion who has celiac. My hope was that the bagel sandwiches would be edible, unlike every other GF “bagel” I have ever tried. Just wow. I have never before tasted a GF bagel that ACTUALLY TASTED LIKE A BAGEL!!! It may not be the very best bagel in NYC, but it’s a bagel sandwich and it’s good! I highly recommend this place even for folks who don’t need to stay gluten free. Oh, and the tiramisu cinnamon bun… perfect! And the latke tots are to die for. This place is great!

Their bagels are the best gluten free bagels I ever tasted! You owe it to yourself to go and try them for yourself. I had to take off stars for atmosphere because the space is too small for the large number of patrons. That said, make the trip anyway! It is worth it.

My sister located this delightful eatery, that would have gluten free bagels (I have celiac) and it did not disappoint (the coffee was ok, but we weren’t there for coffee) the cinnamon raisin baggie was sooooo good.

I really don’t understand the hype around this place. For the price, the bagel quality was seriously disappointing dry and tough and barley any cream cheese (you can see it in my photo). Customer service was just as bad. I waited 15 minutes for a cold brew, only to find the staff standing around doing nothing. Had to ask them to finally get it. Gross bagels, slow service, and definitely not worth it when there are so many better bagel spots in the city. Skip this one.

This place has some of the best bread you’ll find in the city. The service is well below what you expect when you walk in. The one cashier struggles to keep up when things are busy and the archaic system to move people through is trying on anyone’s nerves. You order and then your bag might just sit there for what seems forever until someone finds it and hopefully calls out your name. If you can manage the online system for a pickup I recommend it as you can bypass the whole line and just pick up your delicacies.

Bagels we OK, nothing outstanding, better options are available. The woman in the counter wasn’t too nice, there is no comfortable seating place like in the outdated picture.

I’ve found another strong addition to my ongoing NYC bagel research. They offer a variety of hot sandwiches, open-faced bagels, and baked goods.
Their bagels are incredibly fluffy. A major bonus: everything is gluten-free, with easy customization for dairy-free and vegan diets. B even if you’re not gluten- or dairy-free, this place is still amazing.
The shop was packed on a weekend, but the line moved quickly, and we got our orders within 10 minutes. Their uptown locations are conveniently close to museums, galleries, and Central Park.
＊Farmer’s Garden $13.5 An open-faced bagel with heirloom tomato, cucumber, crispy capers, basil and dill. I chose a sesame bagel with chive cream cheese, which paired perfectly with a light drizzle of olive oil. It was super refreshing.
Compared to the tomato bagel at Apollo Bagels, which I also loved for its crispy sourdough base, this one was much fluffier. Both are great in their own way, but this version felt lighter and juicier.
＊G’Day Mate $10.5 ＊The Big Show $11.5 The G’Day Mate was drizzled with harissa aioli which I really liked the spicy kick, while The Big Show was their vegan take on a classic SEC, made with vegan sausage.
The portions were generous. The bagels were definitely filling, but not overwhelmingly massive like some other NYC bagels. We often find NY bagels a bit too big for one sitting.
Fabulous bagels. All the bagels are gf; they have a vegan/gf bagel, too, as well as vegan cream cheese. Super friendly staff. Will return!

Love that place with all gluten free breads exists! Bagel is really good! Donut a bit dry. Photos are wrong - no seating for eating in. We travelled a ways and there was only take out. Also lunch service stops at 2:30. Please fix your Google map photos so it is clear only takeout

I cane to NYC specifically to finally try Modern bread & bagel 😍 AND WOW! It was so nice to get food with a line up, I know not something you think one would rave about lol but having celiac and seeing a crowd of people in line to enjoy food who are there for the simple love of good food whether they have celiac or not made me happy and I was able to feel “ normal “ again. The staff are very sweet. Lucy ( sweetest and kindest ) made me the absolute BEST iced coffee I had ever had. I could never get something like a French toast iced coffee back at home 😭 and the babka omgosh where to I begin other than describe it in emojis 🤤🤯🥹🥰!!!
