Erik KriessmannMay 24, 2018Classic spot. Nice people. Plain bagel, cream cheese, lox, onion and capers. Can’t go wrong!
MimiMarch 8, 2014Fancy Delancey sandwich on a plain bagel, so good! Sounds like flavor overkill on paper but just believe and you will be rewarded.
Joshua DeckerOctober 17, 2017The classic lox is out of control. Also make sure to get any of the French toast. To die for.
Valentina MonteApril 16, 2013i'm sorry, but no. just. no. old new york classic wonder and all, tals > russ every day. here, bagels are biddy bagels that do not taste good. AND YET: the neon sign here is a vision. iconic.
CristinaApril 26, 2013No words will express how good the food you get here is. Just go and order as much as you can eat...and maybe a little more.
alxxrtMarch 19, 2015Great Salmon Bagel! Get NYC classic Salmon, Tomato, Red Onoins, Scallion, Capers on a Whole Weat Bagel.
SEGAJanuary 4, 2012This is the best smoked salmon in the world, hands down. Get a plain bagel with horseradish cream cheese and the Scottish smoked salmon. - Kellie, Community Manager
Village VoiceAugust 18, 2010Super Heebster: heat, umami, smoke, salt, cream cheese whipped to ethereal heights, crunchy, snappy roe, silky, voluptuous whitefish salad and bagel w/ nice, shiny crust & pleasantly chewy innards.
Allie CarieriAugust 8, 2014Can't go wrong with smoked salmon, cream cheese and "the works" (tomatoes, capers, red onion)
If you don't get the whitefish & baked salmon salad, something is seriously wrong with you.
Mahesh BahuleyanApril 8, 2018Had the smoked salmon sandwich with an everything bagel toasted. Lived up to my expectations!
A ZDecember 29, 2018Delicious but make sure you come on off hours as much as possible to avoid the wait!
Christopher PepeMarch 12, 2013If this isn't the best bagel with lox, schmear, onions, and capers that exists in this world, then we live in a pretty phenomenal world.
DebbApril 5, 2017Went there to have a bagel sandwich. The place was over crowded and it's always like that. The bagel was good but I'll never wait again for it.
Jordan LevyOctober 6, 2012They do an amazing job of packing and shipping the best smoked fish anyplace. Worth the price. Try pastrami lox - killer.
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Worth the wait. Scallion cream cheese and nova lox. Classic and delicious.
Michael ErbApril 3, 2022Best bagels I have ever had. The wheat and the pumpernickel were superlative!

nancy t.February 13, 2018Hour wait on a Saturday around lunch, but worth it. Lox on bagel with everything on.
Anna JamesFebruary 23, 2016Everything bagel+Norwegian smoked salmon+ scallion cream cheese = best breakfast ever!
Everyone comes for the salmon, I go for the candy. The chocolate jelly grahams and pistachio marzipan will change your life!

Claudia FilthSeptember 6, 2016Chocolate babka Icecream sandwiches. Yes, they're $7.50, but totally worth it!

Mike FriedlichMay 31, 2016Sesame bagel with lox and cream cheese is amazing! Must have it if you go.
Hari PatelJanuary 4, 2015Great service. Amazing selection. Also, can pack to-go bag for a long trip home.
Tom JosephMay 21, 2015Beautiful shop and the salmon and cream cheese are delicious, but my bagel was a bit hard
David GreenDecember 11, 2013Lox was fresh, but saying their bagels are okay is being generous. My jaw got a workout. Next time I'll get it to go and use someone else's bagels
Super heebster is fantastic, but at some point I'm going to have to order something with lox instead, just for variety.
Sara MarcosSeptember 13, 2018Try the tofu cream for your bagel! Less calories, super tasty & healthy!!
- Get the Scottish smoked salmon - it has the strongest rich and smoky flavor.
Kevin NgApril 24, 2015Flying fish roe wasabi smoked salmon bagel. Do a few of their maracoons for a bite after, too.
Marc JacobsJune 30, 2012If you're shopping for caviar, you don't have to wait in line when it's busy. Just head right to the back counter and you'll get immediate service.
