Mike Dudas: Best bagels in New York City without a question. My favorite is a warm poppyseed bagel with sliced lox, scallion cream cheese and a slice of tomato. Their cream cheese flavors are exceptional as well.
David B: 3rd favorite bagel in NY...which is high praise! Doughy and chewy bread, great lox, cream cheese and toppings. A little pricey though.
Natalia Cruz: Best bagel ever. Delicious and the coffee is really tasty too. Love it all. Try the salmon LOX and the cinnamon, raisins and walnut/ los mejores bagel que he comido en mi vida, el café es rico también

The Corcoran Group: This iconic bagel joint serves up some of the most fresh and tasty bagels in the city. We love to get an everything bagel right out of the oven with lox spread.
Jessica B: some of the best lox I have ever had! Also the best hazelnut iced coffee, ever !! Definitely one of my new favorite bagel spots.
VickyisaStar LAU: Make your decision fast as the line moves quick. Savoury lovers get the bagel with everything & lox spread, for sweeter option go the Blueberry with Cream cheese!

Anne Taillandier: Love the salmon eggs, Irish smoked salmon, horseradish cream cheese, and smoked trout mousse. They also carry an amazing rye bread and great assortment of canned fish.
Deborah Au-Yeung: Hackle back caviar and blinis, get them. Bloody Marys - I had one with caraway and another one with fenugreek. Get the classic lox on an everything bagel. Finish with challah bread pudding. Holla!
Martina Ekman: I'm sure the classic platter with lox is delicious, but go out of your comfort zone here. The super heebster bagel toast is incredible. Come before 10 on weekends to skip the line!

LC: Try the Whole Wheat Everything Bagel With Cream Cheese Capers And Lox - #chewy #delicious #cream cheesy
Jasmine Tagorda: Pastrami Lox on an Everything Bagel and Chive Cream Cheese is yum! But my usual is the Veggie Cream Cheese on a Rye Bagel, simplicity at its best!
Ana Marie 💃: Classic, hand pulled NY bagels. Delicious house cured meats and Lox. Shallot cream cheese is awesome

Alicia: One of the best bagels and lox in the city. Be sure to get there early so you can snatch up one of their tasty Everything bagels. They're a hot item and sell out quickly.
Willem Van Lancker: A great change-of-pace from traditional New York bagels. Delicious lox and Montreal-style smoked meats. Beautiful interior too!
Phoebe Melnick: Delicious bagels, the bagel roll sandwiches are a really fun new take on their usual bagel. The combo is a great mix of flavors.
