AnnaNovember 5, 2014Bacon egg and cheese on a french toast bagel or an Elvis on a whole wheat everything 👌
Their everything bagel has everything on it (including but not limited to: French fries, A-1 Steak Sauce, that shitty Halloween candy you never eat, vintage Star Wars toys).
Kinsey LaneJuly 17, 2013Poppy bagel was delish - nice folks, good vibes. Order at the back, pay at the front #protip
Get coffee at 9th St Espresso or OST to help you endure the line. It's gross here anyway.
Try the jalapeño cheddar cream cheese-- perfect balance of salty and spicy.
The best bagels in the east village, where toasting is a sin
AdrienApril 16, 2016**SPRING 2016 UPDATE** If you were thinking one of your favorite special bagels on the WE, don't show up before 1pm, they only serve egg, lox or cc before. total disappointment :/
Jieli WuFebruary 18, 2016French toast bagel with sausage egg and cheese plus birthday cake cream cheese. God bless ya- Taaasty bagel. Only suggestion to TSB: Even if you put the bagel halves together, you still have to smear the cream cheese on both sides #protip
Caitlin DickerboomDecember 6, 2014Everything bagel with wasabi cream cheese, capers, red onions, and lox! Boom!
Double dare you to add some ham and avocado to your bagel order.
Ajay KulkarniJuly 28, 2012Get the lox with wasabi cream cheese on a bagel of your choice for a nice change of pace.
All you that reco’d the French toast bagel.. you the real MVPs
MicheleFebruary 3, 2017Avoid the huge line of hungover zombies at 11am on the weekends. Come in before then while they're still in bed.
Chris BruceMarch 9, 2015Lots of crazy options, but I stick to the basics - everything bagel with plain CC. Line is insane on weekends
Ilie KimFebruary 27, 2016Wasabi cream cheese. So spicy, almost inedible. I will regret this later. 😰
RCFebruary 16, 2015Out of everything bagels at 8:45 am on a Wednesday...wtf? Ess-A-Bagel's sausage egg and cheese tasted way better. I'm hoping it was a fluke because other reviews are raving. I'll try it one more time.
The only thing you need to know: the apple cinnamon cream cheeses is amazing.
Zaza GilsonAugust 29, 2014Line is insane during brunch hours on the weekends but moves relatively quickly
So fresh, so delicious. You can watch them prep and bake the bagels.
Soliloquy MarketingSeptember 4, 2013This place is cash only. Try the french toast bagel - it's perfect.
Yeah it's great, but go on a weekday. The line on a Saturday just isn't worth it.
Hannah StamplemanApril 6, 2012Cash only, for a new joint these guys are dinosaurs for technology. Don't forget to bring some green!- Bagels are best in the neighborhood (essa is still better though). Coffee surprisingly good too
Even with 4+ people behind the counter and fewer than 3 customers they still manage to take over 15min to get a bagel and some cold cuts. No end in sight. I'm sure they'll get it wrong too.
bagels that should be toasted occasionally aren't, make sure to ask for that
