The guys working here are all gems!! They're so sweet and considerate. I had an egg white omelet with avocado and tomato and a multigrain bagel on the side; it was divine. I'm DEFINITELY going to return to do more work and, or reading for class!!
The true local bagel place favorite!
Native bean offers all your breakfast favorites and more all served from the happiest and friendliest staff ever. When you walk into this cozy eccentric shop you notice it has truce character and is different than your typical bagel place.
I stick with my typical bagel and cream cheese which are both always very good and fresh. The coffee here is also delicious which brings an added plus to this place.
If you ever live in the area or are stomping through early morning grab a bagel and coffee and head over to thompkins square park to relax with friends and watch the dogs in the dog park.
In short:
– Friendly Staff
– Great Fresh Food
– Local Favorite
– Good Coffee
– fair priced

First experience: 2 stars- First time I went they messed up our order and the person's order in front of us (siiiigh, why I am I so unlucky with these shops?). We ordered 2 small coffees, #1 bagel, bagel with lox and the price came out to be around $23 (we learned the second time we came, we were overcharged). Good thing I checked our bag as we walked out, since I realized there was only one coffee inside and when we went back and told the people they realized that they messed up our order and the girl's order in front of us who already left the store.
Second experience: 4 stars- Today, I went again and finally everything went seamlessly! We ordered the #1 bagel with lox ($9), tomato, onion, and cream cheese, another bagel with lox (roughly $4), and 2 small coffees for $18.
The people who work in the store are incredibly friendly. Personally I like Native Bean more than Heaven's (But I like Heaven's coffee) Every time I've been there, the place is relatively busy, but not completely chaotic, and there are people quietly chatting at one of the many tables. You can also get hot foods too like omelettes, but I've always just gotten their bagels.
*Tip: Double check your orders if you are getting something to-go and also double check the prices of your food to make sure they charge the correct amount.
