Probably the best bagel place on the upper east side. Whether traditional, sandwiches or minis, its all good. Expect a line, but it moves quickly.

One if my favorite bagel places. Fresh bagels, good lite scallion cream cheese an I always get a 1/4 lb of whitefish salad on the side. Its a nice blend if smoke & fish without bring too salty.

Their bagels are way better than H&H! Good coffee and egg sandwiches too.

Really great bagels. Shows why NY kicks LA's butt when it comes to bagels. But be warned - very high in calories, like 600 calories per bagel!

The Whole Wheat Everything Flagel with Lox Spread is the way to go. (You wouldn't think bagels are so big until they're flat!)

Good food and service. Good bagels, soup, tuna, turkey and turkey burgers. Worth the slightly expensive prices.

Recently renovated. Clean and welcoming. Bagels still excellent, and indoor seating restored.

It's not like I'm the biggest fan of bagels, but the toasted bagels w/ cream cheese or butter are great! If you don't want too much cheese, ask for less, because they certainly aren't stingy with it!

Incredibly fast service, huge breakfast sandwiches, yummy bagels and outside seating!

Good bagels, though the staff and the dried out lox in the display case are a little off-putting.

They list the ingredients for "LEO" in the wrong order.

The tofu vegetable cream cheese is so much more amazing than it sounds. And I HATE tofu.

They take cards and have a million awesome choices but they seriously rush you and the employees gave me ordering anxiety.

Some of the best bagels on the UES.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese or ham, swiss cheese and eggs. They are simply delicious. In my opinion, it's better if it's toasted.

WW bagel with veggie cream cheese! Plenty of seating and quick service.

First visit in several years. Its service and lox don't compare favorably with H & H's.

Whole wheat everything is one of the best bagels I've had in the city

Salmon cream cheese. Seems so fresh, normally the idea of whipped fish freaks me out.
