New joint that just opened up. Fresh and hot bagels made on premise! Looks like there's a lot of spread options. I ended up going with a regular plain bagel and their sundried tomato cream cheese. No need to toast especially since it's fresh.
They also have panini grill sandwiches as well as a salad bar.
Looks like they're also running a "Buy a bagel with cream cheese and get a free coffee" special for now.
With great bagels and lots of spread options, I'll be back soon!!
I came back here today. I really was craving an egg sandwich and it's located so conveniently near my job. Once again, I did not have cash on me and had to find a way to meet their $5 minimum. I told the guy behind the counter "egg and cheese on a scooped out whole wheat bagel." He asked me something I did not understand and then after him repeating it 3x, I realized he was asking me what kind of cream cheese I wanted. I said no "egg and cheese." He replied okay, I got it, but I knew it didn't. I just had a feeling. I only repeated that I wanted itscooped out, but should have said the whole order again, because of course it got messed up. I know egg and cheese on a bagel is $4.08, at least that's what it was the last time I got it so I asked for avocado to raise the price by a dollar which worked out. When I got to the office, before I went upstairs, I had a feeling I should check the sandwich, but didn't and of course when I got to my desk I realized he gave me a plain bagel instead of whole wheat. Whatever. First world problems. I ate it and made a mental note to speak slowly and clearly and have them repeat the order back to me 3x if I ever go back there again…emphasis on if.
I'll begin with the most important thing about Daily Bagel: the food. Upon entering the store, you'll encounter rows and rows of bagel baskets, each indicating one of several different types available. Of course you'll find your standard favorites – sesame, everything, pumpernickel – but you'll also discover less common options like sunflower seed.
The base price is $1.20 for the bagel itself (which is pretty average in Manhattan), and there are numerous spreads you can pair them with. So far, I've only tried the whole wheat everything, but the quality and taste have remained consistent. The texture is especially noteworthy; soft and chewy, with a relatively even distribution of toppings. There really isn't anything bad I can say about the bagels served here.
To comment on the customer service issues mentioned in other reviews, I've noticed that the majority of criticism derives from the unstructured process of standing in line to order & pay. Last time I was here, one of the employees inadvertently skipped over the man in front of me, thinking he had already been helped (which clearly frustrated the customer). I won't deny that these mixups are cultivating an overall negative depiction of the business, but certain aspects can be improved by something as simple as a rope line to foster a more organized system. Daily Bagel is still figuring it all out in terms of its service, but at least I know where to go if I'm looking to buy a quick, affordable breakfast nearby!
Really good neighborhood bagel place. Really quick service, and great food. Beyond bagels, they have sandwiches, soups, salads, and really anything else that you may want to eat.
Whenever I need a bagel fast, I make sure to come here. Their spreads look delicious, and they have more cream cheese flavors than I can count.
The only negatives are that their fruit flavored cream cheese (blueberry, strawberry, etc.) are too colorful for me. They look nice, but I imagine that they use a ton of food coloring. And there is an additional $1 fee for breakfast sandwiches after 11AM. These aren't major complaints, but just some things to keep in mind.
They offer coffee as well and is a great one-stop breakfast stop.
So far so good. We have been here twice since they opened for breakfast. We got our usual order – one bagel toasted with cream cheese and one bagel sandwich with egg cheese and sausage.
The bagel sandwich was pretty darn good! Nice amount of egg/sausage. The bagel with cream cheese was tasty as well.
The bagels here have a more chewy consistency, and seem heavier than others I have tried, but were good.
Overall the store seemed very clean. Interested to try other foods here and see how they do in the next couple weeks.
Happy to have a bagel place within a 2 block radius of my apartment! This place has dramatically improved since they opened a couple months ago. They were super unorganized, but I think that they have the weekend rush under control now.
I usually go with an everything bagel. Always yummy. I have recently made the switch to whole wheat everything and they are equally as tasty. I've ordered a bunch of different combos from here as well. They have a salad bar in the back which I've never tried but I plan on doing so soon.
Too expensive, order took too long, and when I got back to the car I discovered they messed up the order. I will not be back.

Solid option for bagels and their accoutrements. Wide assortment of spreads. My favorite is the (stacked) sausage, egg, and cheese bagel.
Haven't tried any of the non-breakfast food but it looks decent. Pastries are a bit mundane.
