  1. I like this bagel. Sure, as others have said they give way too much cream cheese sometime. However, its not very hard to just scrape it off… They always get my order right and there is rarely a long line. IT doesn't hurt that its so close to me.

    I've also tried their salad. The salad was so-so but it was definitely a great value (lettuce + meat + 5 toppings for $7).

    Also, best black and white cookie I've had so far (and I've had a lot).

  2. The customer service at this place is comical to say the least. I was standing about a foot to the right of the register and the guy told me that I was in the wrong place to order. He furthered the comedy by completely acting like he had no idea what the specials were on the board outside their own store. When I asked for a numbered special, he wanted me to have memorized exactly everything on that special to be able to order it.  Don't you know your own advertised special? The breakfast food is decent though- only reason for the 3 stars- if you can put up with comedy hour by the employees.

  3. At first, I really didn't understand what the whole bagel craze was cause as a non-native bagels were always just dried dough with some cream cheese on top. After coming here and tasting the different types of bagels and fillings, I realized that I loved bagels! They staff here are super friendly and the bagels are just so delicious!

  4. Came here after the mediocre experience before to just get a no-frills flat bagel toasted with cream cheese. Never again.

    Not only was the price DIFFERENT than what is stated on the board. The people who work there are incredibly rude. I asked for it to be toasted TWICE, and then I saw him begin to slather my untoasted bagel with cream cheese. I got his attention and said that I wanted it toasted, he then got visibly upset… about a bagel!??!?!

    He took the bagel swung his arms and slammed it in the trash, shook his head, and said "I ASKED YOU" to me… it was almost shocking…

    Needless to say, I'll never return and I'll continue to tell others to never return either. This is NY we have better bagel options on every corner.

  5. We were staying a hotel on 25th/3rd and this was the closest bagel place across from a Starbucks..so I was quite impressed with the bagels! They were dense and many different kinds of cream cheeses, and with onion/tomato on it ….I thought it was very good. Very filling too!!  I realize that they weren't a Jewish Kosher bagel place..but we never did end up getting to one of those and honestly I don't see what was wrong with these bagels! Yum!!

  6. Went in wanting one bagel, however, later found out that there was a $5 minimum for credit cards so came out with five. Bagels here are like the size of my face and nevertheless were still fresh, warm and had that just-made vibe even in the late night hours.

    PS. $5 minimum for credit cards

  7. Solid bagels in Gramercy. Every kind of cream cheese and bagel imaginable. They'll do BECs – on a croissant, bagel, roll you name it. 14 bagels to the baker's dozen is a nice treat. And the bagels are massive!

    This is one of a few bagel places in my weekend morning rotation in Gramercy, and I would have to say it's one of the better options. Definitely come for the variety and efficiency – a good place to go when you can't make up your mind on which bagel shop to go to in the hood.

  8. simple shop and pretty good price for a bagel place in Chelsea.   They have all kinds of cream cheese and bagels.  I got the garlic bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese which was pretty good.  The bagel was huge and I could only eat half.   They also do not skimp on the cream cheese which I love.   I did not try anything else.  My husband had the egg, bacon and cheese bagel sandwich which he really like and the double chocolate chip muffin which tastes average.  I would definitely come back for the different cream cheese and try something else next time!
