MaximilianoDecember 23, 2013The bagels are tasty, especially in combination with cream cheese and tender lox. Freshly squeezed orange juice is a good complement. Cappuccino is offered in ceramic cups and is reasonably priced.

Friendly, efficient, fast staff. Delicious bagel, try the flat bagels, they are even more delicious. The mini muffins are to die for! Clean bathroom at all times, clean place at all times, I love it!
Their penchant for overportioning items charged by weight (like cream cheese), which is a hassle to have them correct, is tolerated since the bagels are the best in the immediate area.- The Corcoran GroupSeptember 9, 2013One of our favorite places to grab a bagel on the UES. We love to come here for the bagel & cream cheese and coffee combo - at $4.50 it's a pretty great deal!
Mike ShermanJuly 27, 2016One of the best bagels on the UES. Service is weird and clientele is annoying, but the bagels are legit. Ask for what's fresh, and if you buy 6 they will make them for you on the spot
Joseph LucasFebruary 15, 2018Incredible spreads and delicious bagels! Creamed herring A+. Super fast staff. Best location- the original!
- Friendly, Excellent and Knowledgeable Staff! Fast Service, Clean, they have the best Bagels in the world!!! Try the new Bagel Sesame Sticks, you will faint, they are sooooo Goooood!!!
George LouMay 3, 2016The toasted flat everything bagel with scallion cream cheese is the best I've had in NYC.
Diane ChangMay 11, 2018Really enjoyed the smoked herring and cream. Bagels were fresh out the oven even at 8 pm. Delicious! Service also great!- Great Service, Fast, Efficient and Professional Staff. The same staff has been working there for years and know all the neighborhood customers and their tastes...
Kaitlyn PezikMay 10, 2015great bagels, only downside is they're kosher so no bacon. I love my bacon.- ᴡᴡᴡ.Necede.nxwo.ru HMarch 21, 2017Toasted flat everything bagel with Nova and a little bit of cream cheese is out of this world
Lane RettigDecember 26, 2012Been going here for years. Definitely terrible service but incredible bagels and reasonable coffee. $11 for a huge bagel w cream cheese lox and all the fixin's, not bad at all
- Tanya KarlovicOctober 8, 2013This is the best bagel shop in Manhattan, hands down! Be sure to try their egg salad- delish!
Rebecca SpitzerJuly 6, 2013Decent bagels, lots of space to sit. Obviously, not as good as ess-a-bagel. Watch out for the pricey OJ.
For a quick snack get the special: a large coffee latte and any kind of bagel with cream cheese for $4.50
most amazing bagel & lox on the face of this earth. ues jews are doin it and doin it and doin it well. #highlyrecommend
Ayşen GiritMay 28, 2014Good bagel, but I seriously doubt that the staff pays attention what customers say! For the last two times they screwed up my orders, giving me the wrong bagel, never going back
Emily CurrinNovember 20, 2012i echo the "unfriendly workers" comments some made, but also really like this place so I keep going.
If you ask for bacon, don't expect bacon. Expect some sort of mystery meat.
Jennifer FApril 18, 2011Only in NYC can you get a bagel "scooped" out... which essentially means more room for cream cheese.
WORST SERVICE/STAFF EVER. The rudest and most unhygienic employees, sneezing into their gloves and touching the food. I will never come back here again.
Marisa FrancoAugust 16, 2013How this place has good reviews? I do not know. Every single order was wrong. Make sure they got it right before walking out!! Not to mention they are rude as hell. Skip this place.
Ilyssa FuchsAugust 31, 2013This place has some balls. They charge the same price for regular bagels as for minis. Not with it. Highway robbery. Do not eat here. Rude and slow service as well.
Lauren TomAugust 2, 2013Not impressed with the service. It's 10 am on a beautiful Friday. No need to be so grumpy.
