Try the Cinnamon Raisin Bagel

Bagels are just ok. Of course better than from a deli but nothing special.
Jackie KMarch 4, 2013
Get them when their hot.

Get your bagels here, but your coffee somewhere else. Their stuff is undrinkable.
Renan CakirerkJuly 3, 2013
Don't get the bacon and egg sandwich tastes like nothing (chicken maybe?). The garlic bagel is really really bad. Just get a normal bagel with cream cheese.
MJMarch 24, 2013
Touristy. Terrible and rude service. And not the cleanest of places. Good bagels but we can't get over the service or sanitary conditions. Someone let me know if these change.
Kim SleeperAugust 12, 2015
Was really good but definitely not worth the (almost) hour wait we did ):

I think they can afford another toaster.
Tony DiSanzaAugust 15, 2010
If u only want bagels there is a separate line that us much shorter

Great bagels but horrible customer service at the register.

Try an Ashkenazi delicacy, such as chopped liver.
Gansevoort Hotel GroupOctober 27, 2011
Yum yum yum!!! BAGELS!
Amy CummingsMarch 5, 2017
It's alright. Kind of pricey. Nothing special.
Lance CorralezSeptember 23, 2011
Very crazy when the UN is happening
Fiona McKenzieJanuary 28, 2010

A bagel is a bagel. It's not worth the wait.
Chackan LaiJuly 27, 2014
Overrated IMO... Guess I'm not a bagel connoisseur.
Tom HMay 28, 2011
The line was a 23 minute wait and it got longer as I waited in it. Plan to have enough time.
Cha ManurungMarch 8, 2012
Yummmmmmmmmmmmooh
Nikhil VartyFebruary 13, 2023
Poor indifferent service attitude. Super slow. Won’t toast the bagel despite request.
Chris NatoliOctober 15, 2015
Way overrated. Their bagels are just bread. Go to Kossar's instead.
Benjamin AdlerMay 29, 2023
Too busy for its mediocre quality.

Is it me or is that guy Richard the most miserable crumudgeon you've ever seen? Holy shit.

Overpriced bagels! Not worth waiting in a loooong line! Coffee is not hot. *yawn*

Ugh. Rudest people ever. I'd say to avoid at all costs, but they have the only decent bagel around. Deal with it, I guess.
Remington GuestDecember 5, 2009
toasted whole wheat bagel with nova is crazy.
Marcus BranderNovember 10, 2013
Not worth the wait.

albertosherreroApril 18, 2019
Bagels frescos de un montón de sabores y con un montón de opciones para combinar. Suele haber mucha cola pero hay una cola express si te montas tu propio bagels (puerta de la derecha)
Julyane LimaFebruary 2, 2018

Cok unlu bir bagelci. Unlu olmayi hak ediyor da, oldukca basarili. Cinnamon raisin bagel walnut raisin cream cheese ile iyi gidiyor, oneririm.
