I was born and raised in New Jersey, so I have very high standards for bagels. Without a doubt, Brownstein's makes the best bagels in Rochester, on par with the best bagel shops from back home. I only wish they were open more than two days a week.

Softer bagels than Bagel Land i think. Their spinach bagel is sooo flavorful & lots of interesting flavors. Excellent value. I’m not a couple days a week so grab a few at a time but they stay so soft! Best bagels in Rochester IMO.

Poor and uninterested service, with food that appeared left over from previous day.

Cash only not listed anywhere but the back of the business.

Olive rosemary bagel? Olive pimento cream cheese? Sign me up. Somehow even combing that made it not overwhelming. Even though the line was long on new years eve, it moved along.

Great bagels and pickup is quick and easy

GREAT bagels- ok the best in town. HOWEVER... the business has changed... I remember learning that they were closing last year, went and stocked up on a couple of dozen, knowing I would miss them. JUST learned that they are still "open." Be aware that they are "strictly curbside service and are open Friday and Sunday 8am-11am" this is their current business model. Look at the website, to learn more about Bagel and Challah ordering. brownsteinsbagel.com

Great selection of Kosher style food and Ny style boiled bagel's bagels. Lox bagel with caper's or hot pastrami on Kimmel rye with deli mustard vis a must try...
I can only wish I lived closer. But I come to the office twice a week, and ordering from Brownsteins is a must on both days.

Awesome little place! I've gotten bagels there a few times now and they're always friendly and the food is great.

Outstanding! The bagels are perfect NY style. I tried the whitefish salad today & it was excellent! The service was fast and friendly. This place is a true gem. Do yourself a favor and get a cookie. Worth every calorie!
