    Serious Bagel spot! Lots of options including soy based spreads. Service is excellent. Real espresso machine and if you have an open mind - read the suggestions posted all over the front counter.

    I found myself in midtown and decided to go 10 blocks and an avenue out of my way for a bagel here. I wasn't disappointed.

    Go straight to the back when you only want bagels. The cordoned line is for sandwiches. Read more

    You can skip the line if you are just ordering plain bagels - head to the back to order

    Skip the long line and go through the door to the right. The only difference is they won't slice or toast the bagel for you. Saves so much time!!

    They're even slower on the draw at 7am. Be first, skip the line and order your bagel AND topping at the back.

    Ok but overhyped! Been coming here on & off ~16 yrs. Eggs are not made to order & ONLY served scrambled =not fresh. Also,last delivery took 2 HRS! Not worth wait. There are much better bagels in NYC.
