“ Unassuming, family run shop that serves up some darn good bagels. They were bustling on Saturday but service was still friendly and fast. I ordered lox on a pumpernickel bagel and BLT on an Asiago bagel. Both bagels were fresh, nice crusty outer and good chew inside. Definitely reminded me of a NY bagel more than the "chains" in the area. All the ingredients were fresh and I would definitely come back to try other bagel offerings. ”
“ First time visiting Manhattan Bagel... Visited on a Tuesday morning. Ordered the Nova Lox (Lox & Bagel) on a Garlic Bagel - and a bottle of water. Food came up quickly. They delivered it to my table. The whole thing was damn tasty - although I did not detect any capers. The one thing I will ding them on - there was no fresh dill on the Nova Lox - fresh dill really elevates a Lox & Bagel offering. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #ManhattanBagel ”
“ Their bagels are amazing. Food is great, service is prompt, ambiance is a mom and pop shop / hole in the wall. They have beverage options and coffee. ”
“ Ambiance was empty, cold, but did not look too uncomfortable. First time ordering and ordered the smokehouse brisket egg sandwich. It was a decent amount of meat and the egg was cooked nicely. It was a little greasy where it dropped a little, but everything was tasty to include the bagel. Better than Panera. Is was almost $11 for the sandwich. I would go back to try something else. It was not busy when I went on a Monday around 1pm, so the service was fast. ”
“ We have been coming here for years. I love that their bagels and cream cheese are fresh and service is quick. They have ample seating inside and outside. It does get pretty busy on the weekends, but the wait is never too long. My favorite is things to order are the cheddar bagel with chives cream cheese, and the chocolate chip bagel with strawberry cream cheese. I like their breakfast sandwiches as well. I often get a bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. ”
“ It smells like the best bagel shop in NYC. Lots of customers but the line moves quickly and you can actually get a table on Saturday mornings. ”
“ I can see how orders get mistaken here as their system for ordering during busy times seems like a mom and pop shop. You have one person take your order, the same person cooks and delivers you the meal when finished. They do not communicate with the cash register, so it is an honor system when you tell them your order. It was extremely busy but there was ample seating. Many people were grabbing their orders and taking them to go. They have plenty of bagels to select and a large menu. It was dark inside, which made it a little difficulty to read the menu. Overall our bagel sandwiches came out correct and were delicious. I knocked a star because the hash browns tasted like they sat under a light ready for a while. They certainly didn't taste very fresh... they were hard on the edges and squishy on the inside. I would definitely stick to the bagels/sandwiches they have to make fresh. ”
“ Best bagel in the area and located in great spot (Union Mill Colonnade). Service and food are consistently good. You can't compare any bagel to New York bagels but this place is still delicious. Hard outside, chewy inside. I love the turkey cheddar on plain bagel. Comes with a pickle and pasta salad. Yum! ”
