Truly disappointing and mediocre. I ordered an egg and cheese on a bagel - there was so little cheese that it might as well have not been there - I mean I have never had less cheese on anything that supposedly included cheese and it could not possibly have been an entire slice - there was one tiny unsalted fried egg, and the bagel was small and lackluster. For that plus a small drip coffee it was $11.50. Extremely hard pass. As someone who lived in NYC for 10 years, I’d recommend Bentley’s around the corner instead

Bagel sandwiches are absolutely delicious! Loved the veggie “sausage” patty and the everything cheese bagel was super tasty. One of the few places around open by 7 and the servers were all very friendly and made great recommendations. Wish we lived here as we’d become frequent customers!

Great old-time feel even though it’s only two years old. comfortable boiled bagel shop with New York vibe.

Hands down the best bagels in town! If you’re a bagel lover, these bagels are boiled and baked to perfection!

Good bagels but $30 for lox bagel, mocha, and tip is outrageous

Latkes were weird—thicker and mushier. Not made with eggs as a binder like I’m used to but a full patty, with visible shredded carrots. Weird. Fine but not the latke I wanted or expected. Also no ceramic mugs or metal cutlery, so dine in just as wasteful as takeout.

The Lox Sandwich, at $20, had one insufficient layer of smoked salmon which was overwhelmed by the bountiful tomato, onion and dill. The bagel was excellent, as were the other ingredients but a $20 sandwich should have a generous portion of lox. Will not return.

Just visiting from Europe, this place is a delightful haven. I especially enjoyed the older employees, who have wonderful personalities. The “everything” bagel is the best!

Vegetarian options: Try the tofutti spread WITH added avocado and veggie cream cheese; Decadently delicious!

Exciting menu selections make this cozy spot feel like an East Coast deli. The bagels have the perfect amount of chew and are slathered with the perfectly generous but not gratuitous amount of schmear. Because it is an order at the counter situation, it pays to look up what you want first. The staff was helpful and kind about my one special request.

The bagels are great! Boiled is right in the name so you know it's legit, and I like that they stay open into the afternoon so I have more time to go

Our bagel sandwiches were sooo delicious - I recommend the tomato herb bagel! Service was super nice and they have tables outside to eat at

Vegetarian options: The bagels are all egg free and almost all are vegan!

we were so excited to try a new place in the neighborhood, sadly we were never greeted the whole time we were there the cashier never uttered one word just stood there, I wasn't even sure she was taking the order she was so silent kinda felt unwelcoming. we got Bagel dogs which wete super hot to the touch on the outside but darn near cold in the center gross, and the half dozen begals we bought were hard. Really disappointed for the amount we spent cold and not tasted fresh. We won't be returning!
