Jeremiah BaumannMarch 19, 2018Not just amazing bagels but perfect nosh for hosting, not to mention wonderful old-school service
Rachel PDecember 17, 2013Irish lox was a transcendent eating experience. Just the best. I'll be stopping here on every NYC trip from now on.
Mahesh BahuleyanApril 8, 2018Had the smoked salmon sandwich with an everything bagel toasted. Lived up to my expectations!
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.
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
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.
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.
ShadiApril 28, 2013Try the white fish & baked salmon salad or order just a plain bagel with caviar creamcheese..
- Djaniella D.April 10, 2018A perfectly crafted Scottish salmon on a toasted everything bagel w/ plain cream cheese can leave you speechless. Come early & go over the menu so you’re prepared when it’s your turn. Worth the wait!

LöplöpçülerFebruary 10, 2014Plain bagel, horseradish cream cheese, wild western nova salmon, caper, red onion
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.
Michael ErbApril 3, 2022Best bagels I have ever had. The wheat and the pumpernickel were superlative!
Everything bagel w pastrami salmon and scallion cream cheese with tomato onions capers. Can't miss.
Mike FriedlichMay 31, 2016Sesame bagel with lox and cream cheese is amazing! Must have it if you go.
Jordan LevyOctober 6, 2012They do an amazing job of packing and shipping the best smoked fish anyplace. Worth the price. Try pastrami lox - killer.
AmateurConciergeDecember 4, 2014The best smoked salmon in New York City. Get a bagel sandwich for breakfast and some smoked fish for later
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Worth the wait. Scallion cream cheese and nova lox. Classic and delicious.
Claudia FilthSeptember 6, 2016Chocolate babka Icecream sandwiches. Yes, they're $7.50, but totally worth it!
Seth GordonOctober 22, 2011A must for any visitor. Just grab a bagel with your choice of lox, eat in the mini park just West on Houston. Perfection.
David GreenbergerJuly 30, 2014"The bread is as different from most eyes as bourbon is from light beer" via @nytimes http://nyti.ms/WN5i4V
- Get the Scottish smoked salmon - it has the strongest rich and smoky flavor.
Tom JosephMay 21, 2015Beautiful shop and the salmon and cream cheese are delicious, but my bagel was a bit hard
Anthony De RosaOctober 6, 2012Pastrami Lox on pumpernickel. Watch how thin they slice the fish. Goes down nice with a Dr. Brown's Cel-ray
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.
Katherine M.April 28, 2014My friend Adam says, "For fish and bagels (lox, whitefish salad and kippered salmon)."
Try the Classic with Wild Western Nova and horseradish cream cheese on a plain bagel. Looking for something more decadent, go for the Daughter's Delight; rich but perfect.
Everyone comes for the salmon, I go for the candy. The chocolate jelly grahams and pistachio marzipan will change your life!
Jonathan LevyFebruary 18, 2018Not doubt about the food here, classics done right but you may not a smile from staff every time...
Nina LoSchiavoJune 24, 2015Insanely overpriced for a lox bagel, but worth a trip one time for the experience. Salmon is of the utmost highest quality.
Anna JamesFebruary 23, 2016Everything bagel+Norwegian smoked salmon+ scallion cream cheese = best breakfast ever!
Kevin NgApril 24, 2015Flying fish roe wasabi smoked salmon bagel. Do a few of their maracoons for a bite after, too.
Amazing selection of smoked fishes and a great sweets bar. Try a pumpernickel bagel with scallion cream cheese, Irish salmon, onions and tomato! My favorite!
joeDecember 5, 2013I thought it was excellent. Had a bagel with Lox and the heebster. Both very good!
Rob HadleyMarch 12, 2012You can order an egg cream or coffee and some licorice at the coffee counter while you wait for your turn at the fish counter...
Mike ChauSeptember 29, 2012Try the Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese - The Classic with scallion cream cheese on a sesame seed bagel
My go-to: Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, Gaspe Nova, tomato, red onion. THE BEST
It's not hyperbole to say this store is one of the best reasons to live in NYC. In addition the Babka is THE BEST you will ever taste.
Super heebster is fantastic, but at some point I'm going to have to order something with lox instead, just for variety.
