This place most definitely has the best bagel I've ever eaten in Queens and I'm so happy that they're in my neck of the woods.
Bagels should be chewy, doughy, firm but not too firm that it can be mistaken as stale. The really know how to get em' just right – their bagels with cream cheese take me back to when I was in high school and in a relationship with everything bagels from a Pick-A-Bagel on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I ate those bagels every morning in secret so I didn't have to share when I got to my school's auditorium because I was hungry and breakfast was….OK ENOUGH RANTING.
Aside from creamy, cream cheese bagels, I've also done their breakfast sandwiches. Super reasonably priced goodness with fluffy scrambled egg, yummy turkey sausage, melted yummy cheese and just the right about of salt and pepper on a toasted & buttered BAGEL.
Clientele -wise, Bagel House IV is pretty humorous because people are just chattering away in Spanish for the most part and everyone kind of sounds like they're gossiping. I could easily see this place in a South American soap opera (novelas).
Staff-wise, everyone is super friendly. Sometimes I just look at their menu and say nothing and they'll chime in to help me figure out what I want, then I proceed to get what I always order because I'm a creature of habit and they're good at what they do so why fix it if it's not broken?
Although it has definitely been awhile since I've last been here, it's not Bagel House though, it's me. But I'll be back soonzies I'm sure :).
It's a nice bagel shop on Northern. It was crowded when I walked in around 9 am on a Saturday morning. Of course, I had a huge toasted garlic bagel with lox spread. It was yummy! And the bread had a great texture. My only complaint is that there is no bathroom, so I thought not to purchase a beverage. Luckily, I was able to get a table. I can't believe so many people are awake this early and ready to eat. Amazing!
This place is like an institution. I never realized it has such good food until recently. I know about it because a lot of the stories the older people from my building tell me start with things like…
"That lady goes around the bagel house saying….."
"He thinks he owns the bagel house or something…"
"I saw her at the bagel house the other day and I didn't even say hi…"
and so on and so forth. So for years, I stayed my butt out the bagel house, because I didn't want people talking about me or watching me or all up in my business…I was like…really? all this hoopla over some bagels? How is all of this stuff going on in this small place?!
But recently out of necessity, I have grabbed some sandwiches and bagels from the bagel house and the smoked turkey sandwich with brie and sun dried tomatoes was great. Fantastic…
I can see why these people gravitate towards the place…I feel like im 16 all over again trying to sneak into the club…
Finally, I have something to look forward to when I get older…I can go to the bagel house and then talk about the people I see later….I feel just a little older already just thinking about it!
