    I love getting bagels here. It’s the only spot I go to in this neighborhood. Yeah this place looks dingy but what do you expect in the city. The lovely staff definitely makes up for it.

    Open most nights until 8PM, bagels here have a better chew than most. Lines often stretch out the door for bagel sandwiches, from standard cream cheese to lox or whitefish to bacon, egg, and cheese. Read more

    I grew up around the corner from here. Huge selection of bagels and cream cheese - the perfect place to get a quick breakfast in the morning. There's usually a line but it moves quickly.

    My favorite bagel is sunflower seeds toasted with tuna salad, lettuce & tomato. The best I’ve ever had👍🏼

    Bagel talk is on the West side by Jcc Manhattan. I got a bag of chips and a drink for 6 dollars. The muffins are 2$. And a oatmeal raisin cookie is $0.85. There are chairs by the tables.

    I love the sunflower bagel with white fish. Absolutely divine!!! The staff is really friendly. Always a big line but is worthy!

    Since H&H's demise, this has been our go-to spot for excellent bagels. We particularly love their bagel sandwiches - bacon, egg, and cheese, yum!

    Delicious. Don’t super recommend the sourdough bagel though, stick to the classics.

    A mainstay on the Upper West Side and a true neighborhood spot, go for a bagel w/ smoked salmon, capers, red onions, tomatoes and plain cream cheese.

    recently renovations took away the grimy charm and they no longer are willing to toast your bagel but it is still the best place in the neighborhood to get a morning bagel

    Beautiful Sunday Morning. Can these guys at Bagel Talk put some smile on their face. Bagels are always good here!

    I could see how these bagels would make for decent sandwiches but for just cream cheese and tomato they fall short...not enough dough or bite.

    It's a good neighborhood bagel shop. Often have deals for a dozen bagels, if you're so inclined.

    Not my favorite bagel place on the UWS but their cream cheeses all have a lot of great flavor!

    Really good bagel, and wide array of cream cheeses, but the fact that they don't toast bagels is annoying.

    Decent spot. BEC on everything was good, but blueberry with clean cheese fell flat

    Best bagels now that H&H is closed. Get a toasted bagel with lettuce, tomato, and cream cheese.

    A below average bagel shop on the dingy side. Make the trek to Absolute Bagels if you have the time.

    Best bagels in my hood. Nothing exciting in the coffee department but a few wobbly formica tables with stuffing sprung chair give the place a grimy charm.

    Honestly, really disappointed. Wholewheat everything bagels were hard and chewy, lox was thin and a little flavourless and everything needed seasoning. Plenty of better options elsewhere!

    Don't ask for your bagel to be toasted! They refuse to do it. Solid bagel spot on the UWS otherwise.

    bagels rival those of H+H. Yes, it looks a little sketchy, but never disappointed!
