Open most nights until 8PM, bagels here have a better chew than most. Lines often stretch out the door for bagel sandwiches, from standard cream cheese to lox or whitefish to bacon, egg, and cheese. Read more

I love getting bagels here. It’s the only spot I go to in this neighborhood. Yeah this place looks dingy but what do you expect in the city. The lovely staff definitely makes up for it.

I grew up around the corner from here. Huge selection of bagels and cream cheese - the perfect place to get a quick breakfast in the morning. There's usually a line but it moves quickly.

Bagel talk is on the West side by Jcc Manhattan. I got a bag of chips and a drink for 6 dollars. The muffins are 2$. And a oatmeal raisin cookie is $0.85. There are chairs by the tables.

My favorite bagel is sunflower seeds toasted with tuna salad, lettuce & tomato. The best I’ve ever had👍🏼

I love the sunflower bagel with white fish. Absolutely divine!!! The staff is really friendly. Always a big line but is worthy!

A mainstay on the Upper West Side and a true neighborhood spot, go for a bagel w/ smoked salmon, capers, red onions, tomatoes and plain cream cheese.

Since H&H's demise, this has been our go-to spot for excellent bagels. We particularly love their bagel sandwiches - bacon, egg, and cheese, yum!

recently renovations took away the grimy charm and they no longer are willing to toast your bagel but it is still the best place in the neighborhood to get a morning bagel

Delicious. Don’t super recommend the sourdough bagel though, stick to the classics.

Fast service, delicious bagels and omelettes. And reasonable prices.

Really good bagel, and wide array of cream cheeses, but the fact that they don't toast bagels is annoying.
Felicia MSeptember 3, 2013
It's a good neighborhood bagel shop. Often have deals for a dozen bagels, if you're so inclined.

Sold bagel spot always strong with their service. LOVE THEIR BAGELS EATING EVERYDAY THEY DON'T NEED TO BE TOASTED
Adrienne CooperApril 11, 2013
I could see how these bagels would make for decent sandwiches but for just cream cheese and tomato they fall short...not enough dough or bite.

Best bagels in my hood. Nothing exciting in the coffee department but a few wobbly formica tables with stuffing sprung chair give the place a grimy charm.

Decent spot. BEC on everything was good, but blueberry with clean cheese fell flat

If I could make love to this egg and cheese on a bagel, I totally would. #sogood

A below average bagel shop on the dingy side. Make the trek to Absolute Bagels if you have the time.

Not my favorite bagel place on the UWS but their cream cheeses all have a lot of great flavor!

Go for the nova special. Delicious fish + fresh squeezed orange juice and a coffee = YUM.
Greg RazzanoMarch 11, 2018
Great prices, solid lox spread
JoleneApril 21, 2012
Don't ask for your bagel to be toasted! They refuse to do it. Solid bagel spot on the UWS otherwise.

Ultimate nova bagel sandwich. Very fresh nova!!

Best bagels in the upper west. Perfectly chewy, great variety.

The salmon and cream cheese bagel was to die for.
Neringa DaJanuary 25, 2013
Delish bagels, but get them for take-away, coffee is very ordinary.
MariaMarch 24, 2013
the guy working was so nice. he gave us free bagels because he was closing up!

Best bagels now that H&H is closed. Get a toasted bagel with lettuce, tomato, and cream cheese.

April 2012- the cost of my regular egg white wrap went firm $4.25 to $6.25.

They use coffee ice cubes in their iced coffee. Nice touch.

Egg and pastrami on an onion bagel. Best decision you'll make today.

They Do toast bagels now.

Everything!
Duncan HowsleyJuly 30, 2014
Honestly, really disappointed. Wholewheat everything bagels were hard and chewy, lox was thin and a little flavourless and everything needed seasoning. Plenty of better options elsewhere!

bagels rival those of H+H. Yes, it looks a little sketchy, but never disappointed!
