Bagel Nosh
“I usually just go for a mini whole wheat everything and depending on the time of day get tuna, chicken salad or one of their many cream cheeses and tomato to top.”
“My favorite part is that it is cheaper, and way less of a wait than Brooklyn Bagel, not to mention closer to my apartment.”
“Amazing coffee, and especially appreciate that they delivered early today pre-hurricane Sandy winds.”

So I've been here now a handful of times thanks to their proximity to both my apartment and the 30th ave N/Q train station…every time I've come here with my boyfriend has been because the line for Brooklyn Bagel Co. has been aggressively out the door. My most recent jaunt here was with Ingrid S. and because we needed to quickly scurry into the city and Bagel Nosh wins for being by the train…
I've had their egg bagels, their everything bagel and most recently I had their sesame seed flat bagel (I was curious, k?). Spreads-wise I've had their garlic cream cheese, dill cream cheese and bacon * scallion cream cheese.
Their bagels aren't outstanding or award-winning, but they have fulflled my bagely bagel needs on more than one occasion and can fulfill yours too in a pinch. The quality of their cream cheese is fantastic and pretty much on point with any gourmet bagel shop.
Where Bagel Nosh can definitely use some work in with their iced coffee. I've always ordered their Vanilla or Hazelnut Iced Coffees and been content, but recently Ingrid S. ordered a regular iced coffee and it tasted rather chemical/artificial…reminded me of *gasp* plain Dunkin Donuts iced coffee, which as anyone who knows me knows, I find to be disgusting and medicine-flavored.
Come to Bagel Nosh for a bagely bagel with cream cheese or some other type of mayo-based salad spread…don't stay for a plain coffee, go the flavored route…oh and baked goods, the muffins here look bangin'! 3 stars for A-OK.
EDIT: $2 for plain roll with a butter?! Usually it's .50-$1.00 depending on where you go…this isn't a fancy place and it's not a fancy brioche roll. Ridiculous. 2 stars.
First time ordering from here today- delivery time was average. 30-40 minutes. People expect deliveries to come within 10 minutes as if you're there main priority, it'a ridiculous. I work in a cafe as well. We don't hire specific people for deliveries, we take one of our busy cashiers to do it, so it takes up to an hour.
ANYWAY.. Bagel Nosh. I got a whole wheat everything flat bagel with tofu scallion and tomato. AMAZING! Had half for breakfast and half for lunch.
Only issue is that they didn't toast it 🙁 But I didn't specify it, so i guess it's okay. i was more mad at myself for not writing "toasted".
It's a better than average bagel but not at your Brooklyn Bagel or gourmet bagel shop level. I may have even pushed it up to 4 stars because they had an exquisite variety of cream cheeses ranging from dill, bacon scallion, your regular veggie, scallion, strawberry, lox spread, olive, jalapeno, to more exotic tuscan blend, spinach/artichoke, and a large variety of tofu blends. Good texture in bagels and good flavor. They even have flat bagels (Flagels!). I had asked though for a special cream cheese blend they had of lox mixed in with scallions and he misheard me I guess and threw on garlic scallion. Both great sounding things but they messed up my morning bagel being a first timer here. Again, the bagel tasted pretty good. Not of outstanding quality. But if the line is super long at Brooklyn Bagel, I see this as being a viable option and a much cheaper option to make note, if you live in the neighborhood. Though, again, I pushed a star back also because their coffee was horrible. It tasted like day old folgers with that slightly rusty undernote and had that just poured over ice with some skim milk and splenda. Dear Lord, for the first time in my life I didn't want to finish my daily fix of caffeine.
You know that famous photo of Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield? Brooklyn Bagel is Jayne Mansfield's cleavage. Buxom village is right down the street. Bagel Nosh might be a somebody somewhere else, and sure, it will have less people fighting over it for that reason, but how can you think about anything else with THOSE staring you in the face? Sorry, Bagel Nosh.
I hope you've found this analogy helpful.
I was down the street and was super lazy and didn't feel like going a handful of blocks towards Brooklyn Bagel. I figure, why not? It's a bagel place and it's still around so it's got to be at least decent. I should have known when it was pretty dead in the morning that it wouldn't have been that good.
I got a bagel sandwich with bacon and well, it wasn't terrible but next time I'm going to walk the extra blocks up the street for my bagel fix.
Place is good. Quick service with food. Bagels are huge and delicious. coffee takes a wile though and isn't that good but I guess it is called bagel nosh and not coffee nosh.
Been here a couple times after my closer bagel shop failed me one too many times. Turns out, Bagel Nosh has my favorite whole wheat everything bagel in Astoria. I don't know what makes it better but it is. The taste is on point.
The manager (owner?) Is realy nice and welcoming when you come in the door. He double checks your order to make sure you get what you want and he is happy to accomodate special requests.
Last order I got a turkey club on whole wheat everything. It was HUGE. and delicious. The man got egg, cheese & bacon on a WHE. Both were fresh and perfect. Def coming back.
Watch your asses, Brooklyn Bagel. This is the first bagel I've had in New York that competes fairly with my beloved. Their whole wheat everything was large, deliciously chewy and beautiful to look at. It's glossy sheen beckons as if to say, "Come, eat me. I will take care of your morning hunger pangs and leave you satisfied until you come back downstairs and order another bagel, because listen here you little tease, I own you now. I OWN YOU NOW!!!" It got a little intense. I had to tell the employee making my bagel (who was so nice and informed BTW) to add a little extra bacon scallion cream cheese to mine to make up for it's hefty size. I'm glad I asked, because the result was perfection. My friend was so into his sausage, egg and cheese on sesame that he popped downstairs after our meeting to bring a baker's dozen back to Manhattan with him. Bagel Nosh did not disappoint, and now I have yet another reason to miss living in Astoria.
